A Perilous Close-Quarters Gunfight!

It turned out that, in addition to his extraordinary reaction speed, Chen Mo also discovered many exquisite gun techniques from the Pope that were not found in the previous Gun Fu manuals. Clearly, the Pope had kept some secrets and had withheld a trick from the Gun Fu manuals that Jehovah Clerics had learned.

Unfortunately for him, he encountered Chen Mo, whose exquisite spear skills were quickly learned by Chen Mo in the battle.

If Jehovah Clerics's gun skills are the simplest and fastest shooting and dodging techniques derived from scientific deduction, then the Pope's gun skills are an upgraded version that is more refined and more powerful, based on these basic techniques and optimized and improved through a lot of practical combat.

After mastering this more refined marksmanship and improving his reaction speed to match that of the Pope, Chen Mo was able to completely dodge the Pope's attacks. However, his counterattacks were also completely dodged by the Pope. For a time, the two exchanged blows, with gunshots ringing out continuously, but neither could gain the upper hand.

Chen Mo remained calm and composed, continuously accumulating experience and mastering the upgraded gun techniques he had just learned in his battle with the Pope, a top-tier Gun Fu master.

The Pope's expression gradually became serious.

Who exactly is this person?!

It was one thing for a strange combat suit to inexplicably appear on his body, covering his entire body and completely blocking bullet attacks, but how could his strength have increased so much in such a short time? Not only did his reaction and speed improve to the same level as his, but he also directly learned the upgraded version of his hidden gun skills in the battle!

DuPont had previously reported that a peerless genius had emerged among the priests, and that was the young man in front of him. But now it seems that he is not a peerless genius at all, but a peerless scourge!

This terrifying speed of improvement and learning ability is something that normal humans cannot possess. Could it be that he is also...?

In any case, we can't keep dragging this on. Since we can't defeat Chen Mo with gun skills, let's try another method.

The Pope raised his gun and fired several shots at Chen Mo. Taking advantage of Chen Mo's dodge, he pushed off with his feet and quickly charged towards Chen Mo.

By the time Chen Mo dodged the bullets, he was already right in front of Chen Mo, his pistol pointed directly at Chen Mo's head.

At such close range, Chen Mo had no time to dodge. The bullet struck Chen Mo's head directly, causing a burst of purple light to appear on his Nanotech Combat Suit.

Close-quarters gunfighting!

Seeing the Pope pull the trigger again, Chen Mo quickly used his left hand, which was holding the gun, to deflect Pope's hands, while simultaneously pulling the trigger with his right hand.

Just as the trigger was about to be fully pulled and the bullet was about to be fired, the Pope's left hand, which had been deflected, quickly fell and swung to the left, turning the muzzle of the gun aside before the bullet was fired.

The two men, each holding a gun in both hands, engaged in a close-quarters gunfight that was even more intense and thrilling than before.

In close combat, the two moved even faster, their hands constantly attacking and blocking, their movements swift and unpredictable, bullets flying in all directions, shattering murals, stone pillars, walls, and glass under the barrage of bullets.

Close-quarters gunfights differ from mid- to long-range shooting. The confrontations are faster, more intense, and more dangerous. You must attack your opponent while simultaneously deflecting their gun before they fire. A slight miscalculation will result in being hit by a bullet at point-blank range, leaving you no chance to dodge. Therefore, the most important aspect of close-quarters gunfights is blocking, not dodging!

Although Chen Mo had practiced close-quarters gun fighting, he mostly used this fighting style when fighting against equally matched enemies. Ordinary enemies were dealt with by Chen Mo before they could even get close. Even if he deliberately let them get close, they would be killed by Chen Mo in no time. Therefore, Chen Mo rarely used it in actual combat.

Actually, although he doesn't use it often, it's actually Chen Mo's forte. Close combat is all about blocking, but the requirements are even stricter here. Chen Mo's profound fighting skills can be fully utilized here.

So apart from being hit when they suddenly switched fighting styles at the beginning, the two fought evenly for the rest of the time.

Chen Mo relied on his superior fighting skills, while the Pope relied on his exquisite Gun Fu and anticipation, and surprisingly, he did not fall behind Chen Mo.

Chen Mo had not forgotten his purpose: to train in Gun Fu, or rather, to improve his combat skills.

So after observing for a while and learning the Pope's enhanced fighting techniques, he gradually incorporated them into his original fighting skills during the battle. He also used the prediction and deduction Gun Fu to gradually suppress the Pope and gain the upper hand.

This time, the Pope was completely unsettled.

He was prepared to learn close-quarters combat and gun fighting techniques, but Chen Mo's fighting skills surprised him. He was able to fight Chen Mo to a draw using only his Gun Fu skills, which was very impressive. Moreover, after learning Chen Mo's moves, Chen Mo was able to quickly integrate them into his original fighting style. With the help of the Gun Fu, Chen Mo was able to subtly suppress him.

The Pope doesn't have Chen Mo's Nanotech Combat Suit. If things continue like this, and Chen Mo completely suppresses him, then a single shot would be enough to take him down. Therefore, the Pope has no choice but to change his tactics.

While attacking and parrying Chen Mo's attacks, the Pope retreated towards his desk.

Finally back to the table, the Pope forcefully pushed Chen Mo's gun-wielding hands away, and at the same time instantly released his own pistol, letting it fall to the ground. He then reached behind him and swiftly drew two gleaming samurai swords from the sword rack on the table.

As Chen Mo raised his hands again, which had been lowered, as if to point at him, his twin blades, following the momentum of their drawing, slashed at Chen Mo's arms holding the gun from both sides.

If Chen Mo had continued with his original actions, his arm would have been slashed before he could even aim his gun at the Pope.

Although the Nanotech Combat Suit would protect me from injury, that would defeat the purpose of this battle.

Therefore, Chen Mo had no choice but to turn the gun upwards and use the metal barrel to block the two swift and fierce blows.

However, pistols are not meant for parrying, so the force applied is not ideal. When the sharp long knife made of a special material strikes the barrel, it deflects the muzzle. As the blade cuts horizontally, it also slides upwards along the tilted barrel.

"Laugh!"

As the Pope crossed his arms, gripping the two swords in reverse, in front of his chest, the blades swiftly sliced across the gun barrel, sparking a shower of Mars and leaving two deep gashes.

However, thanks to the combined force of Chen Mo's fingers and wrist gripping the gun handle, he managed to block the attack.
