Chapter 1191: Assassination!
The three of them turned towards the direction that the black cat was pointing.
Only to see the black cat pointing at another street where many soldiers were trying to keep order while helping the citizens evacuate.
Long lines of people crowded the entire road, everyone trying their best to suppress their voices as they quickly retreated.
But there were simply too many people, and even ‘quickly’ wasn’t that quick.
Other than that street, the carriers of [Order] and other Professionists were doing everything they could to stop the monsters and buy time for the military to retreat.
“Over there? Or following that direction?” Zhang Ying Hao asked.
The black cat nodded.
Meow!
Ye Fei Li swiftly took flight.
“Stand down!”
Several voices scolded him at once.
These voices came from the soldiers who were maintaining order while evacuating people.
Ye Fei Li was a bit surprised and asked: “Why?”
Very quickly, a woman in commander-rank military uniform stepped out and observed him: “All Professionists are currently in battle, there are only civilians here. What, are you trying to blend into the crowd and flee with the civilians?”
Ye Fei Li retreated, a bit embarrassed.
The military man watched their expressions and said: “You want to go that way? That road leads to our military company’s temporary base, we need to first kill these monsters, otherwise no one will be able to leave this city” (TN: Company here actually refers to a military unit of troops, similar to legion or squad, not a financial company)
Gu Qing Shan looked forward.
The giant snake slithered along with the skyscraper, continuously breathing cold air towards the Professionists who were attacking it.
Its pair of vertical irises occasionally suck a glance towards the street of evacuating people, displaying cruel killing intent.
If there wasn’t anyone restraining it, it would most likely rush towards that street and kill everyone in its sight.
“You’re right, looks like we need to kill this snake” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Zhang Ying Hao breathed out a puff of smoke, raised his assault rifle and loaded it with a cartridge of special bullets, then took aim.
An autumn-clear blue steel sword appeared next to Gu Qing Shan and whispered: “Gongzi, your current spirit energy reserve is only at the level of Foundation realm. You won’t be able to wield us to fly, only wield us in your hands, please be careful”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “It’ll be fine. They’re the attackers, I’ll just defend. Not to mention I still have this bow and arrows”
“And me as well” Ye Fei Li added.
He appeared nostalgic, then said: “Since everyone’s strength are at the same level, my destructive regenerative powers can actually be used to great effect”
He took out the Clown mask, turned into a streak of bright red blood, and took flight.
“First blood——” Zhang Ying Hao declared.
Bang!
An abrupt heavy gunshot resounded.
The powerful recoil caused Zhang Ying Hao to take two steps back as dust and ash were kicked up by the shockwaves.
The giant snake howled in pain.
A large hole was punched through its head, where blood continuously flowed.
The snake went completely berserk and spat cold air in every direction, scaring the Professionists from approaching it.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the snake, then at Zhang Ying Hao, and asked: “That’s an assault rifle?”
Zhang Ying Hao was rubbing his aching shoulder and replied: “My strength had been suppressed, can’t exert this weapon’s true power”
At this point, Ye Fei Li’s mad laughter resounded from above.
[Ahaha, for a guy with a hole through their head, you sure can rampage!]
The Clown.
The Murder Clown.
He had been waiting for this chance, flying in the air.
The Clown suddenly sped up and shot into the snake’s body through the hole in its head as a red streak of light.
The giant snake froze for a brief moment, its entire body abruptly tightened.
——-anyone could observe the degree of pain it was in.
The skyscraper was completely crushed by its coil and fell to the ground together with its corpse.
Boom!
The snake’s head exploded and gave off a huge cloud of blood mist.
The clown emerged from the mist of blood, gracefully bowed to Zhang Ying Hao, and said: [I’ll take the First Blood, though you did receive a wonderful Assist]
Zhang Ying Hao helplessly shrugged.
The military man who was with them earlier watched the snake’s body in shock, then couldn’t help but clear his throat: “You three... experts, let me reintroduce myself, I am Major Li Da Jun”
“Since you have displayed such strength, I won’t deceive you any longer. Countless Apocalyptic monsters had gathered in an encirclement around the city, preparing to eliminate everyone here”
Gu Qing Shan questioned: “Then the evacuating people are—-”
“They can indeed retreat to our military company’s temporary base, but the base itself is also inside the monster’s encirclement” Li Da Jun replied.
Roar——–
「 RAAAAH, WHO KILLED THE SNAKE KING!? 」
From not too far away, a thunderous roar could be heard.
Li Da Jun’s expression changed: “Oh no, we need to seize the time to retreat. The Great Earth Giant Demonic Double Ape has found out about this place, it’s quickly approaching us!”
Following his declaration, the Professionists also started to flee.
“Great Earth Giant Demonic Double Ape?” Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked.
“Yes, they are strength-type Elemental calamities, their bodies can endure any type of bullet or magic, which makes them incredibly hard to kill!” Li Da Jun replied.
A towering dark figure descended from the sky.
Boom!!!
The earth trembled.
A 20-meter-tall giant demon ape landed in front of the skyscraper’s wreck, staring at the giant snake’s body.
「 Who killed it!? 」the demon ape howled.
Bang——–
Another heavy resounding sound of gunshot.
The demon ape retreated one step back, then abruptly looked at Zhang Ying Hao.
There was now a hole around the size of a fist on its shoulder.
The demon ape smirked to reveal its set of razor-sharp teeth and grunted: 「 Only—— that much—- 」
It suddenly looked down.
Only to see a guy in a clown mask using a piece of rock soaked in snake blood to draw circles on its chest.
[Shishishi, there’s four beating hearts right here. Zhang Ying Hao my friend, you’re going to have to hit four shots in a row!]
The clown seemed to be humming a folk song as he excitedly declared.
Zhang Ying Hao raised his long sniper rifle again.
The demon ape’s expression warped.
It swatted the clown away and shouted: 「 I’ll support you, kill, then we’re leaving! 」
A sudden change.
Another demon ape appeared behind this demon ape.
Shu——-
Rocks and dirt were kicked up.
The second demon ape immediately rushed towards the retreating road of people.
Its footsteps were rapid, rushing at an unimaginable speed towards the crowd of people.
「 DIE! 」this demon ape howled.
It raised both its gigantic fists and struck down at full force.
The people were completely helpless to escape, having no choice but to scream in desperation.
Seeing this, Li Da Jun’s expression turned ashen as he collapsed to his knee: “It’s over...”
Instantly, the gigantic fists came down!
The world was silent.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Everyone was shocked to find that they weren’t dead.
Li Da Jun also abruptly looked up towards the people in disbelief.
At some unknown point, Gu Qing Shan was already standing among the crowd.
The bow now strapped to his back, his hand wielding a sword with an ancient design that held back the demon ape’s fists with one hand.
The demon ape exerted all of its power trying to lower its fist.
Gu Qing Shan remained unmoving.
The sword also stopped the fist completely without moving an inch.
[Sanctuary] had exerted power equivalent to 1001 times the giant ape’s own weight, completely stopping it from advancing it any further.
Behind Gu Qing Shan, a black cat had just walked over and jumped onto the shoulder of the female military woman from before.
“...So they’ve already found their target” Gu Qing Shan muttered.
The Earth sword was turned and thrust forward.
Shu.
Blinding sword phantoms manifested as a rampaging tsunami that completely enveloped the giant beast.
