Counterattack

Counterattack

At that moment, Lu Li wanted to open the dog cage and rescue Jessica.

But the cage was made of metal and wouldn't budge. He searched every corpse but couldn't find the key.

The gunshots had already alerted the gang members inside the nightclub, and a jumble of footsteps sounded outside the door.

Jessica shouted through the cage, "Just go! Don't worry about me!"

She had no idea how many days she'd been locked up. Her hair was a mess, and she looked utterly disheveled; only her large amber eyes remained clear.

Lu Li gently shook his head. "Don't worry. I'll think of something."

This lively, kindhearted girl had once helped him. He couldn't just abandon her.

Lu Li stared intently at the wall. Two seconds later, a warmth spread between his brows, and his Heavenly Eye opened reflexively.

Through the wall, he saw many black-and-white human silhouettes: the Decapitation Gang members closing in.

Seeing them about to rush inside, Lu Li immediately raised his gun and fired at the door.

The bullets roared from the barrel, punching countless holes through the wooden door and hitting two unlucky men who hadn't dodged in time.

The two let out panicked, anguished screams, then fell silent a moment later.

The others hurriedly pressed themselves against the wall and all opened fire on the door.

Bullets flew everywhere, wrecking the room's furnishings, but Lu Li had already hidden in a blind spot and remained unharmed.

Jessica, however, was so frightened that she clutched her head and huddled in the cage, trembling. But she gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound.

Lu Li's heart ached for her, and he hated the beasts outside the door all the more!

Using his ability to see through walls, he fired back through the door. Before long, another man in a poor position was hit. He clutched his gushing wound and cried out in panic:

"I'm hit! I'm hit! Help me!"

But with both sides locked in a furious exchange of fire, who had time to help him?

Before long, the door was riddled with holes. Fortunately, it was made of sturdy material and was still barely holding up.

But someone was heartbroken over the damage: Antonio, who had just arrived.

This was his office. Inside was not only a little angel who was practically a money-printing machine, but also a safe containing the gang's assets.

"Stop!"

At Antonio's shout, the Decapitation Gang members immediately ceased fire.

He then called into the room, "All right, Lu Li. I admit I underestimated you. Surrender, and I'll let you leave. How about that?"

His words were no better than a fart. Lu Li ignored him and took the opportunity to gather up the guns scattered on the floor for later use.

When no answer came, Antonio said coldly, "Then wait to die, you crippled yellow bastard!"

Lu Li knew perfectly well that time wasn't on his side.

His X-ray vision and Bullet Time could last for a total of 120 seconds. He'd already used half of that!

I need to think of something fast...

Lu Li looked at the Kunlun Mirror in his Sea of Consciousness, considering whether to use the magical treasure to turn the tables.

But there were still twelve enemies, all intently aiming their guns at the door. The treasure might not work.

Lu Li looked around the room, searching for a way out.

He immediately spotted the safe on the desk. There had to be something valuable inside.

Jessica called out, "I saw Antonio open it. The code is 911911."

Lu Li hurriedly tried it. He entered the code, and a click sounded. It really opened!

Inside was a pile of cash, along with several packages of opium, weighing a full ten kilograms!

The moment Lu Li saw it all, he had a plan!

Meanwhile, Antonio wasn't idle either.

Two of his men had brought over two short-barreled shotguns: the famed Remington M870, ideal for close-quarters combat.

"He's only one man! Rush in and kill him!"

Antonio planned to storm in and blast Lu Li with the shotguns.

But just then, there was a thud. A brick-shaped object wrapped in brown paper smashed through the door and fell outside.

The gang members all sucked in a sharp breath—this was a one-kilogram package of opium!

They knew better than anyone how much this stuff was worth! Many of them even used it themselves!

Antonio's face changed dramatically. He roared:

"You crippled yellow bastard! You're dead! I'll make you watch while my men rape your woman! I'll bury you alive with my own hands..."

Before he could finish, two more packages came flying out!

This time, everyone's attention was completely drawn to them.

Antonio roared as he shoved his men forward. "Get in there and kill him! Now!"

But as he was speaking, a full seven more packages of opium were thrown out.

Everyone was breathing heavily now!

But then one of the packages suddenly came flying at them!

With a dull thud, it smashed an unlucky man's nose right into his face.

It was the Kunlun Mirror, thrown out by Lu Li along with the opium as a surprise attack.

After days of nourishment, the magical treasure was in excellent condition. It transformed into a dark streak and shot toward a second man.

The man instinctively raised a hand to block it, but the Kunlun Mirror abruptly curved through the air and slammed into his temple!

"What the hell is that?"

"Some kind of drone?"

Some people dodged the Kunlun Mirror, while others tried to quietly snatch the opium scattered across the floor.

Antonio, meanwhile, coldly picked up a shotgun, ready to shoot anyone who dared touch the opium!

The scene had descended into chaos. The opportunity had arrived!

Suddenly, a figure smashed through the honeycomb of holes in the door and darted into the hallway.

It was Lu Li. His gaze was icy as he entered the Spirit Concentration State.

He held a Glock in one hand and an M9 in the other, aiming at the enemies on both sides of the hallway and firing at once!

Muzzle flashes flared, and the bullets, scorching hot from the barrels, punched through bodies.

Spent casings clinked against the floor. The screams seemed to stretch on, as bloody holes burst across the enemies' bodies and one after another they collapsed.

Antonio was the farthest from Lu Li, but even he was only eight meters away.

He reacted quickly, raising his shotgun first, but a bullet struck him in the heart a moment later, sending him toppling backward against his will.

The other enemies who tried to raise their guns were also dealt with immediately, bullets punching bloody holes through them.

The bullets swept through like a storm. A few seconds later, Lu Li had emptied his magazines—and cleared the enemies from the hallway.

He tossed aside his empty guns and was about to pick up one from the floor to finish off the enemies still clinging to life.

But as he bent down, he saw Antonio suddenly raise his shotgun and aim at him!

The spot where Antonio had been hit looked dark. He'd been wearing a bulletproof vest beneath his suit!

Lu Li's hand hadn't even touched a gun. There was no time to protect himself.

A sinister smile spread across Antonio's face as his finger slowly squeezed the trigger.

Then came a deafening bang, and twelve steel pellets screamed toward him!

At the brink of life and death, Lu Li's mind focused to its limit. Miraculously, he could see the pellets' trajectories!

But what could that do? It would only let him die with a clearer picture of what was happening...

Just as disaster seemed certain, there came a sharp clang, and Lu Li was completely unharmed.

He looked down. The Kunlun Mirror was floating in front of him, having blocked the shot!

When people faced danger, they instinctively reacted to protect themselves.

Divine treasures had spirits too, and they would protect their masters of their own accord!

"What the hell is that... Who are you?!"

What he had just witnessed was far beyond anything he could imagine. Antonio stared in utter disbelief.

But his hands were moving quickly. He racked the shotgun to load another round.

But how could he possibly be a match for Lu Li in the Spirit Concentration State?

Lu Li raised his hand and fired. The bullet pierced the enemy's eye socket with pinpoint accuracy and exited through the back of his head.

Antonio fell onto his back, his one remaining eye still wide open in death.
