Seven Steps, but the Gun Was Still Faster

Three meters!

Feng Yuxiu's diving form was already right in front of him!

Bang!

The bullet exploded from the chamber again, and gunpowder smoke burst from the muzzle in a faint ring of ash.

The speeding bullet traced a ripple of sonic boom through the air!

Feng Yuxiu's brow tightened as he instinctively twisted aside and flicked his hand!

Almost at the same moment, another crimson bloom burst from Feng Yuxiu's shoulder.

And a silver-white Tang Qian Yan was embedded diagonally in Song Ren's right forearm, the hand holding the gun.

The intense pain made him furrow his brow and suck in a sharp breath.

The Glock pistol clenched in his hand nearly slipped free and fell.

But in the final instant before it left his hand, Song Ren used the unique properties of his storage space to retrieve the gun, which was still touching his palm, with a single thought.

Almost the next second, a shadow hanging in midair swallowed Song Ren.

As Feng Yuxiu charged forward, his entire body had already flipped into the air.

The successive gunshots had only slightly hindered him, but the viciousness in his eyes grew even stronger.

His airborne kick lashed mercilessly into Song Ren's left shoulder, sending him staggering five or six steps sideways.

The moment he steadied himself, a flash of cold light pierced his vision.

Song Ren's face turned slightly pale. His left hand clenched loosely as a thought flashed through his mind.

The Black Gold knuckle duster stored in his storage space abruptly slipped onto his left fist.

He used the blunt edge of the knuckle duster to block the incoming blade head-on.

At the same time, he raised his right hand through the pain, completely ignoring the Tang Qian Yan lodged in his forearm. His palm clenched loosely, aimed straight at Feng Yuxiu's brow.

Feng Yuxiu looked briefly stunned.

Knuckle duster?

When did that appear?!

And that gesture...

As if performing a magic trick, a black Glock pistol instantly appeared in Song Ren's loosely clenched right hand.

The dark barrel pointed directly at Feng Yuxiu's brow.

Feng Yuxiu's expression changed drastically!

But Song Ren pulled the trigger without hesitation!

Against this monster whose combat power was off the charts, he had always known that his greatest advantage was not a Glock pistol.

It was the storage space that allowed him to freely store and retrieve things with a single thought, using his hands as a medium.

That was enough to maximize the element of surprise in his attacks.

At close range, the muzzle was aimed directly at Feng Yuxiu's brow.

Song Ren's gaze was icy.

Bang!

The smell of burning gunpowder burst forth.

Reflected in Feng Yuxiu's eyes was a nearly visible spark.

Even though his sense of danger had made him turn his head in advance to dodge.

It was still too fast. The fired bullet grazed his forehead, carving a bloody groove deep enough to expose bone.

Blood droplets sprayed after the bullet!

The bullet sliced across half of Feng Yuxiu's forehead, dragging a long trail of blood before striking the corner of an iron rack on the ground.

Clang!!!

After the piercing crash of metal against metal, the iron rack jolted upward, and the bullet ricocheted back.

Feng Yuxiu's eyes, already growing fiercer from the pain in his forehead and body, nearly bulged from their sockets.

Because the ricocheting stray bullet had unfortunately punched through the calf of his left leg.

It was not that Song Ren's aim was accurate. Feng Yuxiu was simply too unlucky—or Song Ren was too lucky.

Feng Yuxiu truly was a monster. At such close range, with such a sudden attack, he had still avoided the most lethal angle. But heaven refused to cut him any slack.

The ricocheting stray bullet hit him a second time.

That made Feng Yuxiu's poised attack stance falter.

A vicious glint flashed in Song Ren's eyes. This guy was absurdly strong—even heaven couldn't stand the sight of it!

As he stepped half a pace back, he decisively began firing in succession.

Bang!

The bullet left the chamber and immediately struck Feng Yuxiu in the chest, making him stagger.

Bang!

The second shot followed right behind!

Bang!

The third shot!

Bang!

The fourth shot!

The thunderous gunshots echoed violently above the factory shed!

The extras who had not yet run far were staring at the scene in utter shock.

Bullet after bullet burst from the chamber, the booming blasts making their blood surge!

In the center of the field, after that brief pause, Feng Yuxiu's body gradually stiffened.

Song Ren had emptied every bullet in the chamber in one breath.

At close range, against a stationary target, there was no reason to miss.

Blood seeped from all over Feng Yuxiu's body, and his cold, numb pupils slowly began to lose focus.

The deep bloody groove on his forehead had dyed most of his face red. As his stiff body fell, he spoke bitterly in an utterly unwilling tone, "King of Weapons? You have no martial honor at all!"

"I... I won't... I won't accept this..."

By the end, his voice had completely faded away.

Only then did Song Ren finally let out a heavy breath from his tense state and collapse onto the ground.

Looking at Feng Yuxiu's wide-eyed, unclosing gaze, Song Ren felt no negative emotions from killing someone for the first time. Instead, he felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

He threw back his head and took a deep breath, then sneered as if offering Feng Yuxiu one final reply. "No martial honor?"

"Later, I'll burn you some extra paper money. Go discuss martial honor with the King of Hell."

Martial honor with you? Did I look like I wanted to live too long?

Song Ren looked at Feng Yuxiu's miserable, unclosing eyes. His breathing had already calmed as he asked in his mind:

"System, that means I've completed this world's Wish Mission, right?"

That counts, Boss. You performed beyond expectations. As the King of Weapons, you openly and honorably used a weapon—a gun—to kill Feng Yuxiu, successfully proving in Hong Ye's place that you are the undisputed King of Weapons.

No one could possibly argue with that, Boss. You're amazing!

"..."

Boss, you have completed the current Wish Mission. Would you like to return immediately?

"Let's go back."

Beginning settlement of this world's wish rewards...

Obtained Hong Ye the King of Weapons' two-star review:

Damn it!

I wanted to prove that I was the King of Weapons, not the King of Hidden Weapons! It would have been one thing if you used a gun in a fight, but you even launched a sneak attack!

And that would have been one thing too, but you shot Feng Yuxiu dead in public! That'll get me sentenced for years, at least three to start!

You did save my life, but... forget it. At least you kept me alive, so I'll forgive you for now.
