Chapter 361: Gun-Fu

"Miss Fubuki!"

Lilith was shocked, raising both hands as a blue barrier condensed in front of Fubuki; Luoka and the short-haired one shouted after rising from the ground.

"Watch out!"

Bang!

Two bullets traced arcs through the air, trailing white vapor trails, and burrowed into Lilith's chest.

Crack—thud!

The two bullets, fired in arcs from the left and right, struck the exact same point in front of Lilith; the first shot shattered her long-range attack protection amulet, and the second shot punched a hole directly through her chest.

The woman's expression turned pale, astonishment lingering in her eyes, before she collapsed limply, and the scent of blood instantly grew thick.

Lily crawled out from the driver's seat, too busy to worry about Lilith, and quickly rolled over to reach Fubuki, dragging the latter backward.

The man wearing a white suit was about one meter eighty-five tall, with a slender build; he was not robust, but his muscle lines were quite fluid, giving him a sharp and capable air.

He had a Tachi with a black scabbard tucked at his waist; he lowered his finger and pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, not continuing to attack Fubuki.

"Tao Baibai, you disappoint me, actually mingling with a Reincarnator of this level."

His voice was cold, but he clearly felt no fear toward Tao Baibai's fierce reputation.

Bai Cangshu shook his head, his muscles and bones emitting creaking sounds.

He seemed not to see the woman who had spoken up to "persuade" Saitama for him fall down shot, but in the blink of an eye, three figures had already been marked by 【Arrogant Sight】.

The man in the suit who used white lightning to attack Fubuki, the fat man holding silver-white pistols in both hands, and a red-robed woman who had her eyes closed, hands spread open, seemingly using some kind of ability.

"It's 【Soul Artificer Xiluo】, they are the 【5569】 squad!"

Luoka knew far more about the information on the various squads in the Second Tier of the Infinite Dimensional Space than Bai Cangshu; while quickly switching the bullets in his submachine gun to special armor-piercing, explosive, and poison-tipped rounds, he began to run rapidly, firing at the person holding the dual pistols.

The 【5569】 squad was not fully documented in the Intelligence, and the only thing known about them was that there was a Title-level Reincarnator in their team who used soul-based spells—Xiluo.

The other members changed frequently, so it was generally believed that their strength was not high.

Although Luoka was very angry because Lilith had been attacked, he had not lost his reason; he almost subconsciously chose to attack the weakest one among the opponents.

The short-haired one also narrowed his eyes at the same time, launching a Mental Shock.

The target he locked onto was the red-robed woman with her eyes closed.

But the next moment, the short-haired one's head shook with a boom, two streaks of blood flowed from his nostrils, and he opened his eyes, his expression stunned.

"Her Spirit is far higher than mine..."

The red-robed woman opened her eyes at this moment, meeting the short-haired one's gaze; the short-haired one's vision went black instantly, and he fell straight down.

Luoka was distracted, and the next moment, bullets danced by his ears.

His two submachine guns were actually being suppressed by two pistols.

The opponent's bullets were imbued with some kind of power, and every shot seemed to predict his position; in just a few shots, his long-range attack protection was shattered.

Bang!

Suddenly, a cold gunshot rang out; Bai Cangshu's left hand seemed to vanish, suddenly appearing outside his left cheek.

A spinning bullet was stopped between his two fingers; besides the propellant force of the gunpowder, that bullet also possessed some kind of intense rotational power.

【Qiangdoushub】, a technique that cannot exist in the real world, but in the Infinite Dimensional Space, it naturally exists in reality.

Bai Cangshu tilted his head, and the somewhat portly jacket-wearing man felt a jolt in his heart; Tao Baibai's mouth curled up, that smile extremely cruel.

"Watch out!"

The red-robed woman spoke; the fat man codenamed 【Pingye】 had his pupils shrink, and amidst his trembling gaze, he quickly focused as a figure elongated to nearly two meters appeared before him; that fist resembled a black long snake, not at all like a human arm.

The Qiangdoushub that Pingye had strengthened belonged to 【Qiangdoushub】, which is the type of Qiangdoushub that short-gun users excel at; although he was specialized in shooting, his physical arts were not weak.

His heart beat faster, and adrenaline secreted rapidly.

In order to deal with this type of high-speed advancing Reincarnator that Archers fear most, Pingye would always spend Singularities at the 【Training Institute】 in the space for specialized training.

It was all to be able to adapt himself to this kind of high-speed movement close-quarters attack.

Pingye crossed his hands, pulled the triggers simultaneously, and lowered his posture.

Bang bang!

The moment he fired, his wrists flicked, and the bullets immediately spiraled violently.

Bai Cangshu's God's Artificial Eye between his brows lit up, and the spiral-shaped trajectory was clearly visible; because his speed was too fast, the air dragged his hair completely behind him.

At the same time, because of the existence of 【Heart Net】, Bai Cangshu was crystal clear about the movements of these few people.

This was the reason why he had marked these few people with 【Arrogant Sight】 the moment they met.

After witnessing the anomalies of Tatsumaki and Saitama in the 【Heart Net】, the logic by which Bai Cangshu judged strength became simple and clear.

He believed that the most fundamental point of a strong person was that they could not be captured or seen through by his own 【Heart Net】.

A Reincarnator whose movements could be completely captured by his own still-immature 【Heart Net】, no matter how big their reputation, in his view, was nothing more than a weakling.

Bai Cangshu's head tilted slightly, and the bullet grazed his temple; the distance was so subtle that it just happened to trigger the effect of 【Flame Dragon Scale】 on his body surface, without letting him suffer the impact of the bullet on his skull.

Pfft~

The bullet deflected and flew away; Pingye just felt his heart sink; he could not see those details, only feeling that the feel of this shot was very strange.

Whoosh!

The next moment, blazing flames ignited on his body.

Pingye's skin burned with pain, his heart panicked, and he immediately slid backward; this was a special technique of gunners; his sliding distance exceeded twenty meters, and with a tap of his feet, the distance had already been opened.

But the next moment, he discovered with astonishment that the distance between him and Tao Baibai had not changed at all; the opponent also lifted his toes, sliding on the ground using only his heels.

Advancing and retreating with him, the movements were completely identical, and the distance remained unchanged by even a fraction.

【Mental Shock】!

From Pingye suppressing Luoka to suddenly firing a shot at Bai Cangshu, and then Bai Cangshu closing in instantly, the transition of offense and defense between the two happened in just a few breaths.

Only now did 【Meilishanzhuo】 react, her eyes wide open, looking at Tao Baibai.

Boom!

Bai Cangshu's figure paused, and Pingye immediately leaped backward.

Bang!

Almost the instant he jumped, the bullet had already struck Tao Baibai between the eyebrows.

【Headshot】!

One of the abilities belonging to a Ranger, this strike possessed the effect of a guaranteed critical hit.

As Bai Cangshu's head tilted backward, his left hand already pointed through the air at the fat man in the sky.

Hum~

A golden Dodon Ray tore through the air in an instant.

Xiluo had been standing in place the entire time, watching his two teammates fight; at this moment, he raised two fingers and chanted rapidly.

【Heaven's pride, iron-built walls, dragon stride, lion roar, tiger howl, wolf sprint, ZaiBengtazhiqianJieduantianji, FudaobahishiyiDuankong】

A white Barrier lit up instantly, and the golden Qi slammed into it, causing a violent explosion.

Amidst the swirling smoke, a woman's terrified scream rang out.

"Ah!"

It lasted only half a sound, then vanished, accompanied by the horrific noise of flesh being torn apart.

Xiluo's expression changed; he waved his hand, only to see the head of Meilishanzhuo, wearing a look of terror, along with the better part of her torso, being held in the hand of the blood-covered Tao Baibai.

Meilishanzhuo had actually been torn apart by hand without even deploying a defensive Barrier?!
