A few hours later.
A messy abandoned basement.
Luo Xiong, who had a big bloody hole in his chest, looked at the tall and terrifying werewolf in front of him, showing an expression of horror and disbelief.
He was captured at the stronghold before, and it was only a matter of seconds. He thought it was an illusion.
But now seeing the guy in front of him transform into a werewolf and severely injuring himself as soon as he was caught, Luo Xiong realized that the gap between the two was so big that it was as big as a big gap in rank.
This cannot be compensated by any fighting skills at all.
And he also guessed that this person's background was not small.
I'm afraid it's the assassin who killed Young Master Kahn who posted reward notices in various taverns.
Ji Xun said calmly: "I didn't want to transform originally. But in terms of fighting skills, you are indeed better than me. A fight can be considered a gain. In return, I can give you a good time."
From the beginning to the end, there was no intention to survive.
But he also kept his promise and gave this guy a fair chance to compete.
Originally he didn't want to transform, but this guy was fighting and trying to run away, so Ji Xun had no choice but to end the fight early.
After saying that, Luo Xiong smiled bitterly.
Ji Xun grabbed him again and gave the man a good blow.
After looking at it, Ji Xun also felt very satisfied after seeing that the combat experience value had increased a bit.
He sat next to the corpse and absorbed the extraordinary properties.
Now that I have obtained the subsequent six-level breathing technique, my mana level finally no longer needs to stagnate.
He also happened to be familiar with the new breathing formula.
The next day.
evening.
Ji Xun squatted on a high tower on Tongjiang Street, watching gang members starting to gather not far away, and murmured: "Are we finally going to take action?"
Looking at the time, the pocket watch showed exactly seven o'clock.
I learned from Luo Xiong last night that Artest and a group of subordinates were going to do something big tonight, and Ji Xun was also interested in following along.
As he stared, a guy with green comb hair walked out of the door and greeted everyone.
Ji Xun bought information on almost all the key members of the Brotherhood from intelligence merchants.
This green guy is called "Brother Dao", a squad leader under Artest.
Before the operation, only a few captains knew that there was a mission tonight, and Ji Xun had been squatting here with this guy for almost an hour.
"Get ready guys! Everyone get in the car!"
"okay!"
There has been a lot of fire lately, and all the minions don’t care where they are going.
They had all kinds of firearms and ammunition hanging on their bodies, and they boarded several modified steam jeeps while shouting.
The locomotive roared, and the convoy blasted down the street in the direction of the East City Gate.
Ji Xun looked at the direction of the locomotive, jumped off the tower, and chased after him as he shuttled between the buildings.
Not long after, several team captains and Artest's team merged to form a convoy of twenty or thirty vehicles.
Ji Xun originally thought they were going to smash a certain stronghold of the rival gang Hong Lou.
Unexpectedly, the convoy drove all the way towards the eastern suburbs of Innocence City.
After leaving the densely populated urban area, going eastward there was no street lights and it was pitch black.
Ji Xun also transformed into a werewolf without any scruples and ran wildly among the dark ruins of the building.
Half an hour later.
The convoy finally stopped at an intersection with a double-arch viaduct.
The people in the car got off and then laid mines at the intersection.
When Ji Xun saw this, he already understood: "Are these guys trying to rob?"
This viaduct is one of the main thoroughfares that convoys entering the city in the eastern suburbs must pass through.
Recently, many of the various chamber of commerce convoys coming from the upper city to Guilty City will take this road.
But Ji Xun was a little confused when he looked at the actions of this group of people.
Gangsters are not predators, and they have some rules to follow.
Almost all chamber of commerce shops that want to open in Innocence City will pay a certain amount of security fees to the gang.
This is also a stable source of income for gangsters.
So usually the gangsters who have a good reputation in Innocence City will not rob shops.
At least it won't be like this, just send a hall master directly.
Especially large gangs like the Brotherhood, they want to lose face.
It was really rumored that the leader of a certain gang took the lead in robbing the chamber of commerce, and his reputation was ruined. Who would pay back the protection money?
And even if they were talking about revenge for "Boss Chen was killed" last night, robbing the chamber of commerce sheltered by a rival gang would look very mean.
If you go and bring trouble to others openly, no one will say anything gossip.
But if you go to find someone else's wife, children, and children, that's breaking the rules.
Ji Xun looked at it and felt that the motive for the robbery was not simple.
Either there's something wrong with the looted goods.
Or there's something fishy about the matter itself.
Not long after, three heavy steam trucks came from far east of the viaduct.
There is a "White Unicorn" logo spray-painted on the body.
When Ji Xun saw this, he immediately recognized it as the emblem of the top conglomerate in the federation, the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce, the parent company behind the Great Iwan Secret Treasure Shop.
Now all the major chaebols in Innocence City are vying for the market and paving the way to the Old World.
And Dayiwan Secret Treasure Shop stands out due to its excellent management capabilities.
It is almost one of the largest and most successful shops in the city now.
There are many chain stores opened.
Ji Xun also heard that this shop was covered by a Hong Tower.
It makes sense for people like Brother Artest to rob this team.
In the blink of an eye, three heavy trucks had already passed the viaduct, and suddenly fire exploded.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"."
The anti-armor mine directly blew the lead vehicle away more than ten meters.
Seeing the attack, twenty or thirty security guards also got off the two trucks behind.
The two sides immediately fought fiercely.
However, the Brotherhood's side has a large number of people, and its firepower is obviously much stronger.
Then there was Artest, a second-level card master. He was covered in black magical energy that turned into flames. He rushed away with a hail of bullets and killed the second-level security captain of the chamber of commerce in a few strokes.
Soon the battle was over.
There was no one left alive, and no ransom was planned.
The robbery went very well.
Ji Xun has been observing in the darkness in the distance.
Seeing this, he suddenly realized: "Tsk, tsk, I came here with detailed information."
It's obvious that these guys in the Brotherhood know everything about Big Ivan's team.
The time, route and security personnel allocation are all clear.
Relatively speaking, it is much more difficult to obtain this information than to intercept the goods.
This level of information could have been leaked by insiders.
Seeing this, Ji Xun was sure that this matter was definitely not over.
Most of these people are not just here for the goods.
The escorting party was completely wiped out, and a few of the Brotherhood's men also died.
Those gang members pried open the sealed car, and the situation was boiling instantly.
"Oh, [P2 Type Explosive Bear Mechanical City Boiler] is still brand new. This thing is worth tens of millions more."
"Hahaha, so much military ammunition. This car is worth over 100 million."
"Look, brothers, there is a carriage of alloy mechanical exoskeletons here! Damn it, they are all equipped with the seventh-generation 'T-VI Storm Individual Steam Boiler'! My dear, this damn one is Real mechanical equipment. The price of a single set is two to three million. Make a fortune, make a fortune!"
"."
The gang members excitedly picked up sets of mechanical equipment and wore them on themselves.
This kind of thing can qualitatively improve the combat power of card disciples and low-level card masters.
The brotherhood was very excited about the exchange of shots.
"Boxing Champion" Artest looked at this batch of goods, and his eyes were full of the joy of getting rich: "Da Iwan's shop is really damn rich. If I had known this news, I would have come to rob it every time!"
This batch of goods alone will be enough to make them rich for the rest of their lives.
But the task assigned by the gang boss this time was not robbery.
Artai took one look and said, "Pack up the things first and then take them away later."
When all the minions heard this, they all looked puzzled.
"Boss, why don't we leave quickly?"
"Yes. Now that the goods have been intercepted, Da Iwan is protected by Hong Lou, and they will definitely send someone here. If it is later, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
"."
Artai's eyes flashed sharply when he heard this, and he didn't say much. He just said: "We are here today not just to intercept the goods, but to deal with those bastards from Hong Lou!"
This said, all the minions also became excited.
From a distance, Ji Xun watched the group of people not leaving, and looked at it with great interest: "So it's not just robbery, but preparations to intercept and kill a certain big shot in Honglou?"
He didn't think anything was wrong.
Gangs fight and kill each other.
The people from Honglou assassinated "Boss Chen" at the gambling stall last night, and today's revenge is justified.
This wilderness is also suitable for an ambush.
Even if a fight breaks out, timely reinforcements will not be received.
But the thing is because the logic is so smooth, it makes people feel abnormal.
It's like playing chess.
The chess pieces seem to be free, but in fact they must follow certain hidden rules and must continue in this way.
Ji Xun had nothing to do, so he thought about it a little more.
But what he cares more about is Artest.
He also hoped to get the follow-up breathing method from this guy.
After observing Artest's combat power just now, Ji Xun was not sure that he could kill this guy in a short time.
Innocence City is no better than the Old World.
If you really delay for a long time, you will be in great trouble if you are targeted by an expert.
And if Hong Lou's people come, both sides will suffer losses, so it's okay to just pick up the slack.
"Hey, that's not bad."
Thinking of this, Ji Xun continued reading patiently.
Twenty minutes later, the roar of a motorcycle suddenly exploded from a distance.
In Ji Xun's field of vision, he saw a dozen people on motorcycles rushing over for reinforcements.
As soon as the two sides met, they were not polite at all, and they were all fired up instantly.
Bullets and explosives of various colors exploded into pieces in the darkness.
Hong Lou probably came here in a hurry. The number of people was not large, but the firepower was extremely ferocious!
The motorcycles of these people were also modified and equipped with various military-grade heavy firepower. As soon as more than a dozen motorcycles stopped, various mechanical arms popped out like Transformers, and several six-wheeled Gatling guns emitted blue fire.
With this opening of fire, the firepower net instantly suppressed the Brotherhood group.
Those bullets were also mixed with a lot of special ammunition. "Bang", "Bang", "Bang" hit the iron plate, making holes one after another.
The Brotherhood members who were hiding behind the armored vehicles were beaten until they screamed, and their arms and legs were almost broken.
With this kind of technological suppression, relying solely on firearms, Honglou's people clearly had the upper hand.
Ji Xun looked at the bloody scene covered by firepower and raised his eyebrows: "No wonder so many people dare to come. With this kind of firepower, even a first-level card master would have to sieve them."
Da Yiwan's shop is covered by a Hong Tower.
With that kind of financial resources, Ji Xun felt that it was not surprising that Honglou had the top-notch mechanical equipment, firearms and ammunition in Innocence City.
If this posture is to continue, even if there are ten times more people in the Brotherhood, they will still have to kneel down.
Obviously it's not that simple.
After all, there is another "boxing champion" Artest!
Seeing his brother suffer heavy casualties as soon as he came face to face, Artest also turned cold.
People like Hong Lou were much more powerful than he had imagined before.
Artest knew he couldn't waste any more time.
He was filled with magical power and turned into a flaming tiger, and he rushed towards the dozens of motorcycles.
His body is very flexible, and even Gatlin's ranged trajectory cannot keep up with his dodge displacement speed.
Moreover, even if it hits, apart from being slightly blocked, it won't be a big problem.
The special enchanted bullet hit Artest's body-protecting aura and had almost no effect.
This is the absolute suppression of combat power brought by the card master's rank.
Firearms will become less and less threatening in front of second-level card masters and above.
Ji Xun's expression was also very subtle. He was envious of the power and density of the spell.
In this kind of firearms competition, a master is enough to turn the tide of the battle.
Just when Ji Xun thought that the previous robbery scene was going to happen again, something unexpected happened.
As soon as Artest showed his head, at this moment, the guy wearing a skull helmet who was leading the motorcycle gang suddenly raised his hand, and the launch port on the mechanical arm bounced open.
"Whoosh" "whoosh" "whoosh".
In the blink of an eye, six micro-missiles were fired at Artest.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
In the blink of an eye, those six missiles seemed to have directional tracking capabilities and accurately hit Artest, who was rushing away.
The blue-green flames of the exclusive demon-breaking explosive burst out instantly. Artest was unable to avoid it and blew it up directly.
Ji Xun's eyes froze when he saw this picture, and he asked in surprise: "Target-locked micro missiles?"
There are indeed firearms in this world, but the level is only about that of guns and bombs.
Even the current federal military has not reached the level of technology required for micro-missiles with positioning functions.
Obviously, this can only be black technology created from the blueprints in an ancient ruins.
However, the size of the missile also limits its power.
Artest was blown away by the explosion.
But the whole person jumped in mid-air, and after landing, he rushed away again.
"So strong!"
Ji Xun watched the whole process and saw clearly that the shock wave of the demon-breaking bomb did not break through Artest's protective aura at all.
This layer of Gang Qi is compressed by pure mantra power. This is a physical defense layer.
Not only is it not hurt by the explosion, even a scalpel cannot penetrate it!
Seeing this, Ji Xun also sighed slightly.
This guy is really not that easy to kill.
Artest alone withstood most of the firepower.
Like a tiger descending from a mountain, it pounced and plunged into the firepower formation composed of more than a dozen motorcycles.
With one punch, he smashed the head of Hong Loucheng, who was wearing a mechanical exoskeleton behind the motorcycle.
Then he turned around and killed another one with one leg.
The superb fighting skills he had honed in dozens of consecutive victories in the fighting arena allowed him to easily avoid all kinds of attacks and kill four or five people in the blink of an eye.
The situation will be broken at the sight of one person.
At this time, the man in leather who had previously launched the micro-missile also reacted. With a flick of his arms, he ejected a blade with a faint incantation and faced it without fear.
Artest obviously knew how difficult this man was, so he transformed his fists into tigers and punched out towards the man from a distance.
A sonic boom sounded, and it was visible to the naked eye that a pair of magical tiger claws condensed on his fists, and they were blasted towards the leather-clad man from a distance.
Ji Xun looked at it and recognized Atai's trump card: "Tiger Cannon Fist!"
It was also introduced in the purchased information that this is a rare fighting skill similar to [Douji Collapse], which can rely on vibration waves to severely damage heavy armor professionals!
Artest has killed many masters with this.
"Bang" a muffled sound.
The man in leather clothes was also blasted backwards.
The leather clothes all over his body burst into pieces in an instant.
However, she seemed not to be hurt at all. After a roll to remove the impact, she stood up again.
Not far away, Artest looked at him in disbelief.
Similarly, Ji Xun, who was watching the battle, was also surprised, and he was also very surprised: "Iron Man?"
Looking at the cool mechanical armor covered in spells, it looks like it was tailor-made.
You must know that almost all mechanical technology in this world follows the "reinstallation route."
Because to withstand extraordinary forces, the armor must be thick enough.
Even the most advanced standard mechanical armor of the federal military looks like a mechanical giant, tall and powerful.
The lighter it is, the weaker its defense is.
It's useless.
But this mecha in front of me is completely different!
The precision of this set of mechanical armor is visible to the naked eye, and the various industrial cutting levels are definitely not produced on an assembly line, but high-end customization.
The mecha is embedded with various tiny mechanical parts and weapons, like the six missiles before and the double-edged melee blades now.
Before being used, all kinds of equipment are perfectly hidden in the weapon warehouse, and will only be ejected when needed.
This set of armor has the cold and violent aesthetics of mechanical black technology, while also taking into account the smooth and artistic sense of shape.
This is also the most eye-catching mechanical armor Ji Xun has ever seen.
And good looks come second!
The combat effectiveness displayed by the armor at the moment definitely far exceeds that of the so-called military mechanical armor.
Ji Xun clearly saw it just now. After the shock wave hit the armor, it seemed to hit the non-Newtonian fluid, causing ripples.
It was these ripples that completely absorbed Artest's punch energy.
When Ji Xun saw this weird energy-absorbing property, he immediately thought that this seemed to be the legendary energy-absorbing metal that seemed to be produced only in the Old World - Gunnir Orkin!
"Good stuff."
Ji Xun's eyes trembled slightly as he watched.
This metal is the same as the [Rhiya Divine Alloy] used to forge the flying knives in his hand. They are both legendary metals.
Not to mention buying this thing, many people have never even heard of it.
Not to mention its functions, this set of external mecha is just a material, and its value is immeasurable!
The man wearing this mechanical armor also had quite good fighting skills. Even after he stood up, he actually fought Artest back and forth.
The attacks of mechanical equipment have limited damage to Artai, a qigong master.
But Artest's attack was almost neutralized by the weird armor.
The two sides fought fiercely, and for a while there was no sign of a winner.
Artest obviously didn't know that the opponent had this invincible armor, and his expression could not hide his shock.
This is different from the plan!
Originally, they had obtained accurate information and came to intercept the shipment of Big Ivan.
Although I don’t know why the gang’s top brass determined that it was Dong Qi who came for reinforcements.
But she did come.
Artest originally looked down on mechanical equipment. He felt that with his own strength, he could capture this guy easily.
However, he never expected that his plan would be disrupted by this weird mecha.
There is nothing he can do about the mechanical armor in a short period of time. If he really continues to fight like this, when Hong Lou's reinforcements arrive, this matter will not end well.
The mechanical shape has slightly bulging breasts and perky buttocks, with obvious female characteristics.
Ji Xun looked at it and guessed the identity of the person coming, and thought to himself: "It can't be Dong Qi from Honglou, right?"
He met Dong Qi twice.
If you look carefully, you can see that the height and figure really match.
The most important thing is that probably only Dong Qi's status can get Gunnir Orkin to forge this expensive armor.
"Hiss, it seems that the brotherhood's plan to kidnap this man is not for revenge, but to target Dong Jiuye, the boss of Honglou?"
Ji Xun recognized the identity of the person and immediately thought of what those guys were going to do.
This is really going to be a big wave.
If we really want to catch this guy, it would be strange if the two gangs don't fight to the death.
Ji Xun also likes to watch the excitement.
Originally, no matter how the two gangs fought, his idea was just to fish in troubled waters.
But looking at Dong Qi, he frowned.
I came here for the breathing method.
But when it comes to getting the fragments of the breathing method in the first place, I relied on this person’s guidance.
Just like the wings of a butterfly, without the initial flutter, Ji Xun might not have been able to reach this point.
With the protection of that mechanical armor, Artest was helpless against Dong Qi in a short period of time.
Normally, if you keep fighting like this, reinforcements will arrive soon.
The Brotherhood's kidnapping plan will most likely fail.
However, Ji Xun didn't think so.
When he saw this, the sense of conspiracy in his mind became clearer and he thought: "If there is someone behind the scenes as I expected, then at this time, they will definitely come out to help, right?"
Thinking of something, Ji Xun also had a plan in his mind.
If there is no "third party", Dong Qi will be fine.
You don't have to worry about anything.
If anything, this is interesting.
Ji Xun also wanted to see if his judgment was really correct, so he quietly disappeared into the darkness.
However, the fact is that there is really a third party.
In addition to Ji Xun, a bystander, there is another person who is always paying attention to this robbery.
In the darkness in the distance, an old woman in a cloak looked at the stalemate battle and said to herself: "These gangs are really useless. They have given so much information, but they still can't take them down. "
I originally thought there was no need for me to intervene.
But right now, it’s definitely impossible not to help.
As she spoke, she also took out a palm-sized mantra doll.
Anger lingered on the doll, and the old woman muttered some curse.
A strange scene appeared.
The mantra on the doll glowed faintly, and the ghostly energy was sucked in, as if a soul was injected into it, and its face became clearer.
If there were outsiders present, they would be able to recognize at a glance that this puppet looks almost exactly like Dong Qi.
Seeing that the time was right, the old woman shouted softly: "Ghost Puppet Technique: Zhe!"
Hearing a click, it seemed that the human idol's joints had been broken by some mysterious force, and its limbs actually made strange anti-joint movements.
In the distance, the fighting continues.
Although Dong Qi didn't have the upper hand in fighting skills, he was still able to rely on the mecha's defense.
However, at this moment, she was punched away by Artest again and fell to the ground more than ten meters away.
The fatal damage caused by this punch has been offset by the armor. Originally, as long as the impact force was removed, it would have no effect at all.
However, at this moment, she suddenly felt as if her body was out of control.
With a "click", his leg bones and hand bones were broken?
Dong Qi’s face changed suddenly while wearing a helmet!
She wanted to struggle to stand up, but due to the broken bones, when she moved a little, the broken bones pierced into the flesh, and she felt a sharp pain like a needle.
Just for a moment of hesitation, the fist struck again!
Artest was also confused. Was the punch he just punched so effective?
Or maybe there's a mechanical failure?
Huh, the more sophisticated the armor, the higher the failure rate. This is normal.
Artest didn't think much about it.
The fact is, Dong Qi seems to be unable to move his hands.
Achievements are fleeting.
It must end as soon as possible.
Artest seized the opportunity and punched a few more times until a big hole was made in the ground including the person and the man, and then he gave up.
But seeing that the armor still showed no signs of breaking through, he could only get a few mechanical steel cables and directly tie Dong Qi tightly.
The few people who are still alive in Honglou want to save Dong Qi, but they are Artest's opponents.
Without Gunnir Okin's armor, he would have been killed on the spot with just a few punches.
The battle ended quickly due to the intervention of some unknown mysterious force.
All the brothers in the Brotherhood also shouted and cheered.
(End of chapter)
