Chapter 297: Chapter 297 – Fengyun Tianxia

Speaking, Fengyun Tianxia actually bent over and began untying the laces of his combat boots!

The burly man and the woman behind him turned pale, and the woman couldn't help but call out, "Lao Da!"

Fengyun Tianxia didn't look back, his voice calm: "Do as I say."

His movements were neither hurried nor sluggish, almost leisurely, as if he were doing something utterly ordinary. The soaked laces were hard to untie, but he was very patient.

Cheng Shuili watched with a cold eye, and the uneasy feeling in her heart grew stronger.

To buy a coating?

Cheng Shuili didn't believe it.

Didn't you see that group just now, the ones who said they'd talk and negotiate before inviting them in for a deal—do they all have to resort to force?

Being so flexible to this extent… their aim must be enormous.

What should we do?

Of course, strike first to be strong!

Rather than putting herself in danger, Cheng Shuili prefers to attack first.

Even if she accidentally hits a friend, she still has the backup strength for it!

Her voice rushed, "Ailin! Shoot the hand that's untying the shoes! Xinxue! Sweep fire at the two behind them!"

The orders were given without any warning!

Fengyun Tianxia's pupils contracted sharply; they hadn't expected Cheng Shuili to be so decisive. Their right hand, which was untying the shoes, suddenly tried to retract, while the left hand instinctively reached for the hidden weapon at the waist—

But Ailin's bullet had already arrived!

Bang!

A crisp gunshot!

The high‑speed spinning bullet precisely hit Fengyun Tianxia's right hand that had just touched the shoe lace!

That hit definitely landed; the impact made their whole arm jolt and their body stepped back two paces.

But strangely… no wound appeared.

Almost simultaneously!

Clack clack clack clack—!

Although Xinxue's shooting was terrible, she obeyed the command, and the submachine gun in her hand fired without hesitation, crazily spraying toward the area behind Fengyun Tianxia where the burly man and the woman were! Bullets poured out like water, splashing mud, sending mud and stones flying!

This sudden dense barrage, though most bullets hit only air, succeeded in forcing those two to scramble and collapse on the ground seeking cover, unable to coordinate with Fengyun Tianxia's actions at once!

The woman's scream and the burly man's roar were drowned out by gunfire.

Cheng Shuili's gaze remained fixed on the spot where Fengyun Tianxia had just been hit by the bullet; Ailin was equally stunned, instinctively looking at Cheng Shuili, waiting for her new command.

Cheng Shuili didn't hesitate to tell her to keep firing!

One shot, two shots, the bullets struck Fengyun Tianxia's body but seemed to sink into mud; apart from the recoil, nothing else affected them!

This terrifying scene made everyone in the warehouse unable to look away.

The bullet clearly hit, yet it left not even a white mark! The impact did make them retreat, but that was all! This is not a defensive capability any human should have!

Fengyun Tianxia steadied their stance, the feigned sincerity and helplessness on their face vanished completely, replaced by a cold, inhuman indifference.

They flicked their right arm, which had been struck repeatedly by bullets, with fluid, unimpeded motion, as if the impact that could have broken an ordinary person's arm was merely a gentle breeze.

Tsk.

They let out an ambiguous light tsk, sounding both regretful and mocking.

"Indeed, not that easy to get."

The burly man and the woman behind them also calmed from the initial panic; though still behind cover, fear had vanished from their faces, leaving only a cold, sharp resolve as their mission was thwarted.

"Special equipment? Or some kind of device?" Cheng Shuili's voice remained calm, analyzing quickly, while raising a hand to stop Ailin and Xinxue from continuing to fire.

That's just wasting bullets, and those three shouldn't be fine.

Fengyun Tianxia ignored Cheng Shuili's muttering and made no further attempt to disguise; their gaze, like a scanner, locked onto Cheng Shuili, "Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji... today is your death day."

Cheng Shuili felt a chill in their heart, but showed no expression: "Oh? Seems you came here just for me. Who sent you? What's the objective?"

"A dying person, no need to know too much," Fengyun Tianxia slowly raised their left hand, pulling a dagger from the back waist: "I originally intended to get closer for a surprise attack, but since you won't cooperate... it'll have to be a head‑on clash."

Before Fengyun Tianxia finished speaking, they were already like an arrow off the string, thrusting forward with a sudden kick!

The mud‑soaked ground seemed to offer no resistance; the speed unleashed far exceeded that of ordinary people, almost leaving a after‑image. The dagger in their hand sliced the humid air, emitting a sharp screech, thrusting straight at Cheng Shuili's throat.

Ailin responded sharply and swiftly, the muzzle of her gun instantly tracking Fengyun Tianxia's trajectory, firing a rapid stream of bullets!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bullets hit Fengyun Tianxia's back and shoulder blades with precision, producing a dull "puff puff" sound like a struck drum. The impact slightly stalled their forward momentum; their clothes tore, revealing unusually pallid skin underneath, yet still causing no real damage, not even a drop of blood.

Xinxue also swung the gun around but dared not fire. Her shooting was poor; this Fengyun Tianxia isn't afraid of bullets, but their leader certainly is!

Xinxue laughed at herself, then swung the gun again, aiming at the woman and the burly man outside.

Cheng Shuili, at the instant Fengyun Tianxia surged forward, had already retreated quickly; she showed no panic, her eyes sharp as a hawk, and while withdrawing steadily drew the Night Hunt.

How could an item or equipment have such an effect?

Or perhaps, even if such items existed, how could this person have had no reputation before now!

They should have a spot on the wealth rankings!

Moreover... judging from the speed just now, they are definitely not weak! A player like this wouldn't need the Moyu Miji as a ticket.

This person exuded weirdness from head to toe, but there was no time for Cheng Shuili to ponder further.

In the flash of an instant, the dagger's cold glint was already at eye level!

Cheng Shuili stepped back, steadied her balance, and the Night Hunt longsword in her hand rose swiftly from bottom to top, precisely parrying the wrist that held Fengyun Tianxia's dagger.

The angle of this slash was cunning, intended to force a retreat or a change of stance.

Yet Fengyun Tianxia neither dodged nor evaded; with a flick of the wrist, the dagger struck hard straight into the blade of the Night Hunt.

"Clang—!"

The piercing metal clash burst forth, sparks flying everywhere.

Cheng Shuili felt a huge force transmitted from the blade, numbing her tiger's mouth and forcing her to retreat half a step involuntarily. She was shocked, the opponent's power far exceeding her expectations, and that dagger was no ordinary item—clashing head‑on with Night Hunt, it suffered not the slightest damage.

But...

When it comes to strength, who could surpass her, the Number One?!

Cheng Shuili did not retreat but advanced, turning her wrist; Night Hunt shifted from a deflecting motion to a chop, carrying a sharp whistle that tore the air, and she swung with great force and weight toward Fengyun Tianxia's head.

Fengyun Tianxia still did not dodge or evade, holding the dagger horizontally to block, choosing to meet the blow head‑on!
