Chapter 170: Testing Bullets (Please Subscribe)

Aaron stared at the pursuer before him, sighing inwardly.

"Fortunately, my intuition felt wrong, and after divining, I decided to wait; otherwise, Liliyat would likely have been in danger... This person must have come while tracking Nicholas..."

"A Mystery Practitioner? Their aura doesn't seem like someone from the Investigation Bureau, and I don't know if they recognize Clark..."

The Leisinuo opposite him shrank back as if by reflex, his tools dropping to the ground, replaced by a revolver and a talisman: "Who are you? No... you are just an illusion! You were here before, too? No wonder I didn't trace the aura of a third party!"

"Illusions leave no traces in history?"

Aaron realized aloud.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Amidst the gunfire, Aaron's body swayed, seemingly turning into a phantom, directly dodging the three shots.

Just then, Leisinuo saw an incredible scene.

Illusions have no lethality; they can only serve to lure the enemy!

Snap!

The phantom lunged at him and immediately shattered like a soap bubble.

"The speed after enhancement is still not as fast as a bullet, but I only need to be faster than your hand..."

The phantom's voice turned cold, and it lunged over.

Arriving before a patch of soil, Aaron picked up a piece of dirt stained with the opponent's blood, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Aaron let out a low cry of pain, feeling terrifying power and Vitality surging through his limbs and bones.

Aaron's expression was calm as he raised the firearm in his hand.

Bang!

The muzzle spat out fire, landing on Leisinuo, and a flower of blood splashed out.

"Against a Mystery Practitioner, Radiant Bullets are of little use; Filthy Bullets are best... Besides, I'll try out the newly crafted bullets too."

The next moment, Leisinuo's figure flashed and vanished, disappearing from where he stood and weirdly appearing a hundred meters away.

A figure flashed, and Aaron arrived before Leisinuo, delivering a flying kick.

Leisinuo didn't care, instead looking nervously at the blind spot in the opposite direction of the phantom.

"However... having been hit by my Filthy Bullet, I'm afraid he'll only be able to find him in a mental hospital in the future..."

But for now, there shouldn't be any problems.

Of course, using this kind of bullet would pollute his own Spirituality and carry strong side effects, but how could he be afraid of that?

The next moment, Aaron stood up and walked toward Leisinuo.

"And... the level is very high, capable of granting one such powerful strength. Which pathway does he... he belong to?"

Thoughts surfaced in Leisinuo's mind, but they eventually turned into a strong desire to survive.

And on his necklace, a crack instantly appeared.

After things stabilized, especially after the 'Beast' grave-robbing incident, he had specifically come back to check and had done some covering up.

"Which faction do you belong to?"

"But regardless, it is my grave after all, so I can definitely get a lot of things done... it's just that the place is too small... I can't stretch out..."

The effect is to provide a terrifying physical and speed bonus, as well as a considerable degree of defense.

Aaron chuckled, walked out of the forest, and arrived at a somewhat familiar wasteland.

Then, he gripped his White Crystal Cane and began to search for the whereabouts of that unlucky fellow.

At the same time, he also fired consecutive shots in the direction of the culprit!

Bang! Bang!

While being hit by the bullets, Leisinuo had already blinked to a distance; seeing this scene, he dared not delay, blinked twice more, and quickly disappeared into the forest...

He gritted his teeth, gripped the Star-Shaped Pendant on his neck, and spat out a word in Spirit World Language: "Blink!"

That masked man suddenly raised the revolver in his hand, aimed it at his own temple, and pulled the trigger hard!

Bang!

A blood-red bullet containing an illusory quality sank directly into Aaron's head.

He paused his feet, his body like a cannonball, chasing after Leisinuo.

A Pollution Bullet accurately hit Leisinuo, and a splash of blood appeared abruptly in mid-air, but the figure had already vanished.

This kind of grave doesn't even count as a Lingmu, let alone a mausoleum or anything of the sort.

Leisinuo gritted his teeth and activated the pendant again.

"That gun must be a Magical Item!"

He did not dispel the phantom; his true body was hidden to the side, calmly opening the revolver and stuffing in special bullets one by one.

The reason he didn't track immediately before was the worry that the unlucky fellow was deliberately circling around or something.

Leisinuo quickly threw out a Talisman, letting a green radiance fall upon him, causing his wounds to heal rapidly.

Bang!

Just as he was about to Blink away, he had already seen the figure chasing after him.

Pfft!

Leisinuo was sent flying backward, and the sound of ribs breaking could be heard in mid-air.

Leisinuo was retreating constantly, searching for a safe direction to escape.

Aaron was slightly surprised: "Although it looks like it can only teleport over short distances, it's quite good..."

The reason he let the opponent leave was just to continue tracking along this clue.

"It can only be used three more times. I'll use them all at once; even if it means destroying this 'Blink Star', I must escape the scene."

"A movement-type Magical Item?"

"What is your objective?"

If he had wanted the other party dead, he would have switched to the Evil Spirit Curse Bullet earlier, guaranteeing a soul-piercing shot that would kill them instantly.

After some inspection, Aaron tossed a coin, confirmed that this place would be relatively safe for some time to come, and left with peace of mind.

This was the location of his former grave, where two unlucky grave robbers were also buried.

Aaron watched the direction in which he left and blew the blue smoke from the muzzle of his gun.

"Hmm, the duration of Ghoul's Embrace is about three minutes; it will only be shorter, never longer..."

This was a special bullet he had crafted using the corruption from Percy—"Ghoul's Embrace"!

It was not meant to be used against enemies, but rather as a buff that required drawing the gun and shooting oneself to activate.

"Mm... this newly made bullet is quite potent!"

He waited quietly, feeling the dissipation of the abundant power within his body, and made a note of it to himself.

He had not come to fight a stranger to the death; he just found it interesting and came to investigate the secret Nicholas was hiding: "I think... this might be a misunderstanding."

However, right behind the phantom, a real human figure flashed by and vanished.

Looking at his own graveyard at this moment, Aaron shook his head: "The place is too small, and there aren't any precious burial goods... Sigh... it really is a loss of face."

Compared to the luxurious mausoleum of Aokelaier, it was the difference between a beggar and a grand noble.

Gunfire erupted continuously in the pitch-black woods, interspersed with the flickering of human figures.

"The real body... hiding behind a phantom, how cunning."

Aaron manipulated the phantom, approaching step by step.

"You have no sincerity!"

Leisinuo's expression was grave as he fired three consecutive bursts.

Aaron returned to Green Forest City, hired a carriage, traveled through street after street, and finally stopped in front of a small church.

"The Holy Spirit Church in Iver Bridge District? People from the Holy Spirit Church?"

Aaron looked at the small church and made another note in his heart: "Making me miss tonight's jazz gathering, hmm, this religious tax should be doubled!"
