Chapter 145: Blooming Amidst the Killing

"Spiritual Thought Master, that woman is a Spiritual Thought Master!"

One of the gun‑wielding men showed fear on his face and said, "Big brother, we shouldn't go after them."

"What good is saying that now!"

The leader shouted angrily, while frantically pulling the trigger and firing toward Jiang Cheng's direction.

Jiang Cheng and the other person stepped out of the house, and they recognized the masks on the two faces as the Dawn Society's insignia, one of the most fearsome secret organizations in the Outer City District.

It is said that the Dawn Society's masters are countless, and its leader is a Ten-level Force Warrior, only a step away from breaking through to become a Force Master.

But when he saw the bag Ye Ying was carrying, he couldn't hold back.

He knew they had made meticulous plans for this operation, were about to succeed, but someone beat them to it, and he could hardly swallow his anger.

Moreover, they were in the shadows with the initiative; if luck held, they could severely wound or even kill the target, then simply take the bag and reap the fisherman's profit.

So the few of them chose to act.

The process went smoothly, even forcing the opponent into a corner at one point.

But at the last moment, one of them kept using his Handgun, taking out the two brothers; perhaps even Old Five was hit, otherwise there wouldn't have been any movement for so long.

He admitted that the guy's Gunmanship was indeed impressive.

But that woman also played a crucial role; otherwise the shooter would have already died under their hail of fire.

On the other side, Jiang Cheng swapped his magazine.

"Ye Ying, those two people might try to escape; can you later only intercept the bullets they fire at me and not intercept the bullets I fire at them?"

"Just one direction, not a big problem."

Ye Ying nodded.

Earlier the bullets came from several directions; she thought intercepting all of them was no easy task, let alone intentionally letting some pass.

But now the two gunmen are head‑on, and their firepower isn't as fierce as before, so it's still doable.

"Alright, I'll count down three." Jiang Cheng gripped his Handgun, eliminated the two, and the crisis was resolved.

"Big brother, retreat?"

A gunman beside him pleaded.

As long as the green mountains remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood.

If this keeps going, when their bullets run out, Old Three and Old Four will be their fate.

The leader furrowed his brows.

He felt an inner conflict.

If they just left like that, it would be a loss of both wife and troops.

But not leaving, Old Two was right; the moment their gunfire ceased would be when that guy emerges from cover.

"Big brother!"

The gunman beside him urged again.

"Alright."

The man made this difficult decision.

Indeed, whether it's money or the lives of brothers, none is as important as one's own life.

Living on is the only way to have Hope.

The man beside him heard that and finally let out a sigh of relief.

While continuing to fire at Jiang Cheng, providing suppressive fire, they fell back; as long as they hid behind cover, they would be safe.

But at that moment, a silhouette reappeared from behind a stone pillar.

!!!

The two were startled and quickly shifted their barrels.

They probably guessed the principle and didn't think Jiang Cheng's bullets could hit them; of course,

until one of them was flashed by a white light, then his face was hit by successive bullets and he fell to the ground.

"What!"

The leader's peripheral vision caught the scene, and he was dumbfounded.

Logically, weren't all the bullets blocked?

Why did Old Two still get hit? Could the opponent's bullets be curving?

The next moment, several white flashes flickered over his body.

"I…"

The man tried to shout "I surrender," but his mouth was hit by several bullets, and a bullet pierced through the back of his head.

Jiang Cheng, uneasy, fired a few more shots, and kept shooting until the magazine was empty, then

hid behind the stone pillar again.

"Ye Ying, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Ye Ying shook their head.

"How is it?"

"Everything's taken care of."

Jiang Cheng smiled at her.

"You also dealt with that sniper?"

Ye Ying couldn't help but ask.

He should know the opponent was nearly a hundred meters away and was hiding on the second floor.

【61】 "He was the first one I took care of."

"You, you're quite impressive."

Ye Ying fell silent for a moment, then said this sentence.

She hadn't expected that, as a newcomer who had just joined the Dawn Society and was only a First-level Force Warrior, Jiang Cheng could actually achieve this.

She felt a bit puzzled inside; logically, Jiang Cheng in the Poor District shouldn't have access to firearms, so how did he practice this Gunmanship?

Could it really be a case of extraordinary talent?

"Hehe, I told you, I'm a Divine Gunman."

Jiang Cheng gave a slight smile, then said seriously, "But I still have to thank you. If you hadn't blocked the bullet for me, no matter how skilled my Gunmanship was, I couldn't have reached this point."

"It's nothing, that's what I should do."

Ye Ying shook her head, looked around, and said, "While no one has noticed yet, hurry and take the guns from their hands; later you can sell them to the Society and make a decent amount of money."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

He was indeed thinking that.

Not only the few corpses on the ground, but also the villa not far away where the sniper was, he also wanted to go there.

A Heavy Sniper Rifle would cost 200,000 if you wanted to purchase it.

If you don't sell it to the Society and keep it for yourself, it's equivalent to saving 200,000.

Of course, Ye Ying also deserves credit for this; once we reach a safe place, we'll discuss the matter properly.

Taking the rifles from the four people, at 30,000 each, four of them total 120,000.

Jiang Cheng also searched the few people, hoping to find any Secret Martial Arts or Secret Medicine, but it turned out to be nothing.

Come to think of it, who would carry such things while out killing people?

He did find a few broken Talismans, which were Iron Wall Talismans.

The two walked to the villa where the sniper was.

Even though there should be no danger inside, Ye Ying used Spiritual Power to sense the area, confirmed safety, and then unlocked the door.

Jiang Cheng watched with great envy.

He also didn't know when he might become a Spiritual Thought Master himself.

Fortunately, this operation guarantees at least 100,000; if we add the few firearms captured later, we might gather 170,000 and raise the Visualization Method to Entry level.

The two entered the house and soon, in a room on the second floor, found the sniper's corpse.

Looking at the several bullet holes on his forehead, Ye Ying felt a chill rise up her spine.

It turned out to be a gun-to-gun headshot! Within thirty meters, she was confident she could kill Jiang Cheng ten times with a blink.

But beyond thirty meters, if Jiang Cheng had such a gun in his hand, he might also force her into a desperate situation, even kill her.
