Chapter 6: Dropped Card Swordsman Feilun
Tang Baduan looked at the young man walking back up the cliff under the night sky, and asked the burly driver with a frown.
"Feibo, are you sure he really finished the job Tao Baibai gave him?"
"In less than... half a day?"
In fact, the time spent was even less than Tang Baduan had imagined; Feibo wiped his sweat while eating, swearing that the young man with the handsome face was definitely a ruthless character.
He had watched with his own eyes as the other party carried a case of money into a weapon shop, and then returned to the car with several guns and even more money.
That was the posture of a guy who completely disregarded the law and human life.
"Uh... probably."
Feibo did not want to offend such a person, so he mumbled a few words, pretended he hadn't heard, and stopped talking to Tang Baduan.
Bai Cangshu walked along the slippery mountain road, aided by the night; the mountain wind was stronger at night, and rain mist with heavy moisture permeated the entire mountain path.
Bai Cangshu carried a case in each hand, his whole body soaked by the rain mist, but his Footwork was light and quick, as if he were thinking about returning to the mountain inn to rest soon.
Patter.
A stone rolled down from the mountain path, hit the black rock at the corner, and then tumbled down the cliff.
"You're in a good mood."
"Is it because you think you're very smart and have figured out Master Tao Baibai's true trial?"
The hoarse male voice was somewhat unclear in the rain mist, as if it would be drowned out by the sound of the wind if it were any lower.
The rain mist blurred the eyes, and a figure appeared at the corner, holding a curved blade in each hand, turning them slightly, occasionally flicking off some raindrops.
Bai Cangshu stopped his steps and recognized the visitor as the swordsman who covered his face with a red cloth.
"Master Tao Baibai's true trial..."
"What is that?"
Bai Cangshu asked a question he already knew the answer to.
At this moment, the sound of the wind gradually ceased, and the rain mist dissipated bit by bit.
The man holding the twin blades finally revealed his full figure; he was a somewhat thin man with long hair, which looked messy because it was soaked with rain.
Bai Cangshu found that it seemed all anime and film works liked to depict swordsmen in this slightly wild style, as if only in this way could people know... his blade was fast.
The man was not wearing that red face cloth; the cloth was currently wrapping a round object, placed at his feet.
He noticed Bai Cangshu's gaze, deliberately kicked the object at his feet forward, and spoke.
"You are a smart person, but not smart enough; you realized it a bit late."
"Master Tao Baibai's requirement is that the one who completes the task and obtains the most Bounty Criminals will be taken as his disciple."
The face cloth was untied as it rolled, and inside was indeed a human head that had been somewhat bloated by the rain.
"I realized it as soon as I got in the car and left the town; as long as I guard this mountain pass and kill every one of you who returns, I will naturally be Master Tao Baibai's disciple."
"So I immediately cut off the driver's head and returned to this mountain path."
His voice was hoarse, his smile cruel.
Bai Cangshu let go of both hands, and the two cases fell to the ground naturally.
The man immediately took two steps forward, his Footwork light and steady, and the curved blades in his hands changed to a reverse grip; although the attack range would be slightly shorter with this grip, the swinging speed was extremely fast, and it could be danced into a wind-tight defense.
"Be careful, kid, that is the bounty I am going to offer to Master Tao Baibai."
Bai Cangshu looked at this man who seemed to have cut off the driver's head and rushed back to wait for rabbits, and a smile of interest finally appeared on his face.
As expected, this world was the most suitable place for him; this mode of thinking was just right for his taste.
Bai Cangshu made a gesture of reaching toward his waist, where the handle of a black Short-barreled Submachine Gun was exposed.
The man's expression changed slightly; on such a narrow mountain path where only one person could pass, the threat of firearms to him would be unprecedentedly great, so he instantly lunged forward, his center of gravity lowered.
"Beyond seven steps, the gun is fast; within seven steps, the blade is fast!"
Hum! The sound of the blade cutting through the air was like the vibration of a dragonfly's wings, and the cold blade light suddenly shone under the illumination of the moon finally revealed overhead.
Bai Cangshu stepped back, his upper body winding and dodging backward like a water snake.
Pfft, pfft, pfft! Three swift slashes shattered the rain mist.
Bang! An abrupt gunshot rang out almost simultaneously, echoing between the cliffs.
"You..." The man stared fixedly at Bai Cangshu, as if he had seen something incredible.
During the dodging process, a silver-white revolver appeared out of thin air in the other party's right hand; was this guy an Ability User? And...
The dodging movement the other party just made was exactly the same as that damn woman's...
"Damn it..."
He lowered his head, looking at the hole in his chest; his strength drained rapidly, and soon his consciousness turned dark.
【You killed the swordsman Feilun, gained 100 Dimension Points】
【Milestone: Seed of Murder progress updated (4/100)】
Bai Cangshu straightened his body, the gun in his hand disappeared again, and only then did he speak to refute.
"Within seven steps, the gun is both accurate and fast."
He actually had no shooting experience; if he hadn't watched the swordsman's moves during the day, and the distance between the two sides was very close, he wouldn't have been sure if he could hit the other party.
However, in the end, on this kind of terrain, once he had a gun, it would be very difficult for the other party to compete unless they were that kind of Martial Artist.
Bai Cangshu's Agility attribute was also very high; if the swordsman's strength were astonishing, Bai Cangshu could also choose to feign escape backward; on such a narrow mountain road, there was no room to dodge bullets.
Bai Cangshu twirled the silver-white revolver in his hand; this was the harvest from his impulsive robbery of that weapon depot.
【Revolver: Knocking of Doom】
【Quality: Blue (Fine)】
【Description: A certain famous bounty hunter used this gun to kill over one hundred Bounty Criminals, but eventually choked to death while eating one day】
【Low reload speed, medium power】
【Effect 1: Doom Knocking—This gun has a higher probability of hitting the enemy's vital points; this effect receives a negative modifier from Shooting Mastery.】
【Effect 2: Doom Arriving—While holding this gun, Shooting Mastery level is reduced by 2, and after every 6 bullets fired, Luck receives a negative modifier for a certain period of time.】
This is a rather distinctive fine-quality revolver; the barrel is slender, the total length exceeds twenty centimeters, and it is heavier than an ordinary pistol. Loaded with. 357 high-explosive Magnum bullets, it weighs nearly 2kg.
Not only can it be taken out of the space and placed into the 【Backpack】, but it is also a piece of equipment with a unique name.
Moreover, the effects of this gun are also very interesting. 【Doom】 receives a negative modifier from Shooting Mastery, which is to say, the more skilled the user's marksmanship, the lower the probability of this 【Doom】 triggering.
Conversely, when used by someone like Bai Cangshu who has no shooting experience, a casual shot often has the miraculous effect of hitting a vital point.
Of course, there are some negative effects after firing, but Bai Cangshu has not yet felt the effects for the time being.
Bai Cangshu put the pistol back into the Backpack, preparing to rummage through the dead swordsman to see if there was anything on him.
A white card appeared on the corpse at some unknown time, hovering in the air and spinning constantly.
Bai Cangshu reached out and grabbed it.
【You have obtained a White Drop Card】
【Drop Card: Swordsman Feilun】
【Quality: White】
【Description: This is an ordinary Drop Card, which may contain the unique abilities and items of Swordsman Feilun】
【Effect: Crush to open】
Bai Cangshu crushed it directly.
【You have opened the White Drop Card: Swordsman Feilun】
【You have obtained 300 Dimension Points】
【You have obtained Scroll: Dual-Wielding Mastery (Rare)】
Bai Cangshu swept his foot, knocking the innocent driver's head off the cliff, and then pushed the swordsman's corpse down as well, his eyes fixed on the blue scroll in his hand.
【Dual-Wielding Mastery】
【Grade: Blue (Fine)】
【Description: A scroll that condenses the inheritance of a skill; it can help you unlock Dual-Wielding Mastery】
【Effect 1: Used by a Reincarnator who has not mastered the Dual-Wielding skill, it can grant Dual-Wielding Mastery Lv1】
【Effect 2: Used by a Reincarnator who has already mastered the Dual-Wielding skill, it can slightly improve the skill】
