Chapter 642

There are five Troupe members in total: Nobunaga Hazama, an Enhancer Nen user, skilled with a sword, a master of the iaijutsu, and a main combat member of the Troupe.

Shalnark, a Manipulator Nen user, skilled in intelligence analysis. After inserting an antenna into an enemy's body, he can manipulate the enemy's actions. He is a support member of the Troupe, but can manipulate himself or teammates in critical moments. After manipulating himself, his combat power is extremely strong, and his instantaneous explosive power is not weaker than Feitan, Nobunaga, and others.

Shizuku, a Conjurer Nen user, a support member of the Troupe.

Machi, a Transmuter Nen user, can turn Nen energy into thin threads for attack or treatment. She can perfectly stitch up blood vessels, bones, nerves, and muscles 100%. She is a support member of the Troupe.

Uvogin, an Enhancer Nen user, with extremely strong hand-to-hand combat ability, his body as hard as steel, a main combat member of the Troupe.

These five people have two and a half main combat members (Shalnark counts as half) and two support members. However, these two support members also have combat power; their status as support is only for comparison within the Troupe.

After Su Xiao quickly recalled the information on the five people in his mind, he began to conceive a corresponding strategy.

First, his side has three Shadow Beasts as combat members; these three can hold back one main combat member of the Troupe in a short time.

If Su Xiao can kill one main Troupe combat member in seconds, then the subsequent battle can still be fought. If he faces a siege by several main Troupe combat members, then Su Xiao will undoubtedly be defeated.

"Xiang Bubu."

Hearing Su Xiao's call, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was lying lazily in the back seat of the car, got up and left the car.

"Walk faster. Every day, it's either eating or sleeping."

Looking at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's unhurried pace, Su Xiao wished he could give it a kick.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang wagged its tail and ran over. Those big, watery eyes seemed to be asking: "Master, do I have to go on stage too? Don't worry, leave that woman with glasses who looks the strongest to me (Shizuku, the weakest Troupe member present)."

"You don't need to go on stage. Keep watch behind me."

Su Xiao took out the Spider Queen sniper rifle. If he entered the scene directly, the other Troupe members would sense his aura and make a move. Sniping one from a distance is the way to go.

Realizing that Su Xiao was about to set up the gun, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang immediately understood his meaning. Its lazy expression disappeared, and it squatted with its back to Su Xiao, its eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

Taking the Spider Queen out of the storage space, this murder weapon attracted the attention of Kurapika and the others the moment it appeared.

"This weapon... is a bit exaggerated."

Kurapika's first reaction upon seeing this murder weapon was that it was a small machine cannon, but after seeing the streamlined gun body, he realized it was a sniper cannon.

Given the current weight and recoil of the Spider Queen, if firing single shots, Su Xiao could fire from a half-squat. If he wanted to fire continuously, he could only set the Spider Queen on the ground.

Taking out the gun mount that came with the Spider Queen and stabilizing the firearm, Su Xiao lay on the edge of the valley.

This is a good position, with the terrain slightly higher than where the Troupe members are located.

Casually picking up a pebble, Su Xiao crushed it into powder, which drifted from between his fingers. He was testing the wind speed.

Because it is a valley terrain and it is night, the wind is not strong. But it rained a few days ago, and there is standing water in the valley, so the air humidity is slightly high. Su Xiao is about 700 meters away from the Troupe members, so the air humidity doesn't need to be calculated too precisely.

Adjusting the scope to 8x, switching the Spider Queen to continuous fire mode, ejecting the magazine, and confirming that the ten bullets inside were loaded normally, he inserted the huge magazine.

Su Xiao took a deep breath and brought his head to the scope, suppressing the killing intent in his heart. The Troupe members' perception is not weak; if he exposed his killing intent now, they would definitely sense it.

Through the scope, Su Xiao observed the five Troupe members.

Uvogin was in a great battle with the three Shadow Beasts. Earthworm, Rabid Dog, and the others were covered in blood. Although Uvogin also had injuries, this burly man was laughing wildly. It wouldn't be long before the Shadow Beasts were wiped out.

Of course, the sniper target cannot be Uvogin. Su Xiao wants to kill a Troupe member in seconds. Uvogin's defense is among the best in the Troupe; choosing him is the stupidest approach.

Turning the gun barrel, the four Troupe members on the valley floor were playing cards. The sniper target had to be chosen between Nobunaga and Shalnark.

Under normal circumstances, one would choose Shalnark, who can provide support and has strong combat power himself. But Su Xiao was not prepared to choose Shalnark; instead, he aimed the crosshairs at Nobunaga.

In the Troupe, Nobunaga and Uvogin have a very good relationship. Both are Enhancers with straightforward personalities. Although Uvogin likes to fight alone, after coordinating with Nobunaga, their combat power soars.

Su Xiao exhaled slowly, letting his breathing gradually stabilize.

His finger slowly squeezed the trigger. Hundreds of meters away, Nobunaga, who was playing cards with Shizuku, Machi, and the others, suddenly turned his head. Not only Nobunaga, but Uvogin, who was in the middle of a battle, also discovered something. Unfortunately, the two discovered it too late.

Su Xiao squeezed the trigger.

Bang!

A loud noise echoed in the valley. Fine cracks appeared on the rock near Su Xiao, and an invisible wave of air spread out.

The momentum of the gunshot was so exaggerated; one can imagine the power of that bullet.

The 17.36mm bullet flew at ultra-high speed, stirring up layers of air waves. Because the kinetic energy was so strong, the bullet head even gave people the feeling that it was about to pierce through space.

At the same time Nobunaga heard the gunshot, the hair all over his body stood on end. Behind him, it seemed as if a grim reaper holding a scythe had appeared, and that reaper's eyes were blue.

Nobunaga's reaction could only be described as fast as lightning. He shifted his legs, which were originally crossed, and knelt on the ground.

Sword light flashed. The 17.36mm bullet flew in front of Nobunaga, and the blade collided with the bullet.

Clang!

A crisp sound came. The long sword in Nobunaga's hand hummed, and a large gap broke in the blade. His arm holding the sword was severely dislocated.

At this moment, Shalnark also reacted, but he could only be anxious. Besides sacrificing himself to block in front of Nobunaga, he had no other way.

Shizuku painfully clutched her lower abdomen. The broken blade that flew off Nobunaga's sword happened to pierce her lower abdomen, directly creating a blood hole. One can see how terrifying the force of the collision between the long sword and the bullet was.

"Quick..."

Uvogin had just roared one word when another gunshot came from the hillside in the distance. Machi, Shizuku, Shalnark, Uvogin, and even Nobunaga knew that they were done for this time.

Bang!

The gunshot shook the valley. The recoil of the Spider Queen was too strong, and the muzzle rose severely after firing. Su Xiao used all his strength to press the muzzle down, and the stone slab beneath him cracked with a snap.

Aiming, shooting, the actions were done in one go.

Bang!

Another gunshot rang out, and this gunshot pushed Nobunaga into the abyss.

Everything around seemed to slow down. Uvogin's face twisted, and he ignored the Shadow Beasts' attacks and rushed toward Nobunaga's direction.

Shizuku conjured Blinky. This dazed girl with glasses wanted to use Blinky to help Nobunaga block the bullet.

Shalnark inserted an antenna into his own body, and Machi had a Nen thread appear in her hand.

With a slap, the second bullet sank into the rock behind Nobunaga, and a large pit exploded. Nobunaga dodged the second bullet.

The third bullet followed immediately, and this bullet predicted Nobunaga's movement position.
