"Bront, are you looking to die? We weren't even coming after you, yet you dared to attack us?" The Viper Gang looked like a bunch of idiots. They were actually standing out in the open on the street, three or four hundred of them, looking fierce and menacing.
But they couldn't stop bullets. Weren't they just making themselves targets by standing there?
But when he looked at his own people, he realized it wasn't just the Viper Gang. His men were doing the same thing, standing right in the street without even looking for cover.
"Speechless." Bai Jing rubbed his forehead. Did they think I was here to play house?
"Who's that guy?" Bai Jing asked Ryan beside him.
"The Viper Gang boss, Bru..." Ryan had barely begun his introduction when Bai Jing raised the PTRD-41 in his hands.
"Who cares what he's called? Take him out!"
Bang!
Was the power of an anti-tank rifle a joke to you?
That nameless boss was a Black Mexican, a full 1.9 meters tall, powerfully built, his muscles bulging. Standing there, he looked like a wall, like a mountain!
But when a 14.5mm bullet carrying kinetic energy at 1,000 meters per second struck him squarely in the forehead, his head burst apart like one of those dark-skinned watermelons his ancestors supposedly loved. Half his head vanished in an instant!
Did being huge help?
Times had changed!
Blood and brain matter exploded outward, leaving the gang members around him frozen in shock!
H-He just opened fire?
"What are you standing around for? Shoot!" Bai Jing shouted.
It was as though someone had pressed the start button on the whole world. Instead of firing, everyone squatted down in unison, then immediately searched for cars, trash cans, utility poles, and billboards to hide behind.
Only then did they start shooting, but their muzzles were pointed skyward. They had no idea where they were aiming and simply sprayed bullets everywhere.
Bai Jing's side was like that, and the Viper Gang's side was no different.
His liver hurt.
Bai Jing rubbed his forehead. Just as he was about to ask something, Ryan pulled him behind a car as well.
"Why?" Bai Jing asked.
"Watch out for stray bullets!" Ryan replied as if it were only natural. "I know you're strong, Boss, but getting shot is still dangerous!"
"No, I mean, this is how they fight over territory?" Bai Jing pointed at the gang members nearby. White people and black people alike were firing into the sky. There were no screams or cries for help, only the sounds of shattering glass and civilians screaming.
You couldn't kill anyone fighting like this!
Bai Jing was used to the Celestial Empire's fearless spirit of warfare, the resolve to never return until Loulan had fallen. When had he ever seen combat like this?
As he watched, he suddenly came to his senses.
It seemed black people and white people really did fight like this!
It was said that during a coup in some small African country, the government army and the rebels fought for three days and three nights, with only fifteen casualties in the end.
That was fewer people than Wolf Warrior had killed...
White people were no different. They got beaten by China in East Asia, realized they couldn't beat Annan either, and in the end could only fight Afghanistan to a draw.
And those were actual armies. Gang members were even less comparable to soldiers!
No wonder gangs were rampant in America while the police never took them seriously. With combat ability like this, only a ghost would care!
Bai Jing was so annoyed he wanted to laugh. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the wind rise sharply behind him!
"Did you think I wasn't watching you?" Bai Jing suddenly turned and raised his hand!
A metal playing card tore through the air and arrived before Bai Jing in an instant!
But it immediately sank into the mire of gravity and could not advance another inch!
Bang, bang, bang! Two consecutive shots—though they came from a pistol, their muzzle velocity actually reached 900 meters per second!
Three bullets formed a triangular formation, sealing off every possible route for Bai Jing to dodge!
Bang, bang!
After those three came two more, bullets fired with the sole purpose of killing him!
"So powerful!" Bai Jing's dodging speed was practically hacked. Not only were his reactions fast, but he also had the acceleration of the Time Domain Field!
Yet he knew that relying on speed alone, there was no way he could evade all five bullets!
He raised his hand and caught the metal card. With a slight tilt of his head, one bullet grazed his cheek while another brushed past his neck.
The third was deflected when Bai Jing raised his hand and lightly flicked it aside with the metal card!
As for the remaining two, the metal card flashed twice more. One was slapped to the left, while the other was sent flying into the sky!
"How is that possible?!" Bullseye's heart shook. He knew his own cards well. They were made from titanium alloy—lightweight, hard, and corrosion-resistant—but using them to block bullets was completely unrealistic!
The only explanation was that this man had used qi on the card!
"You're pretty skilled. Want to work for me?" Bai Jing had developed an appreciation for talent.
Look at this guy. His marksmanship was first-rate, every shot aimed to kill. Compared to him, Bai Jing's 137 subordinates were nothing but rotten fish and spoiled shrimp!
"Not a chance!" Bullseye shouted, though his heart was filled with irritation.
Why was the man in front of him so difficult to deal with?
Close combat was impossible. He had a move that could drain a person's blood with a touch, but even his masterful shooting was completely ineffective against this man!
Did that mean he had no way to deal with him at all?
"Fine." Bai Jing shrugged. He had only asked casually anyway; he had never truly intended to recruit Bullseye.
It was better that he refused. At least Bai Jing wouldn't have to keep thinking about it!
He lightly tossed the card in his hand twice. When it had entered the Gravity Field just now, he had clearly sensed its trajectory.
He did not know the technique for curving bullets, nor could he climb to the rooftop along walls like Uncle Long. Thus, he had no way of dealing with Bullseye hiding on the roof.
But Bullseye had sent him a playing card.
Cards could curve!
He lifted a finger, and the silver metal card in his hand instantly vanished!
Beside Bai Jing, a silver ring flickered twice, gradually turning orange. Then a blazing red Rainbow Light shot out from the circle, carving a curved path through the air!
At that moment, Bullseye was still in his blind spot, thinking of a countermeasure. By the time he sensed something was wrong, it was already far too late!
In one second, the card accelerated for seventeen laps within the Gravity Field, ultimately reaching 1,764 meters per second. It moved so fast that the metal card was heated red-hot by the air!
But the card was made of titanium alloy, a material capable of withstanding the extreme heat generated by a rocket launch. It suffered barely any loss of mass at such temperatures. Even after punching through the wall behind Bullseye, it had lost almost no kinetic energy and still had enough force left to shoot into Bullseye's body!
"Pfft." Bullseye only felt as though his body had become a furnace in an instant. The next second, he lost all sensation!
The gunfire suddenly fell silent!
"B-Boss, that just now..." Ryan stared at the exploded rooftop in shock, completely incoherent!
Bai Jing ignored him and turned around.
The door to the shop behind him was locked, but who was Bai Jing? He simply absorbed the lock and pushed the door open.
There was no need to care about the battlefield below. They could fight for another hundred years without anyone dying, so he might as well leave them to it.
What Bai Jing cared about more was that, according to his senses, Bullseye was still alive?
On the eighth floor, Bai Jing climbed to the rooftop, panting heavily. He first looked around.
Mm, no cameras. Looks like my master's aura won't be affected.
From a distance, he saw Bullseye lying on the ground.
"So this is what he looks like. Jason Statham?" Bullseye appeared surprisingly intact, but under Bai Jing's scan, all his internal organs had actually exploded.
The only reason he was still alive was Bullseye's extraordinary vitality, but he would not last much longer.
At most another ten... nine.
"You were pretty strong." Bai Jing sighed. Unfortunately, Bullseye had not known that Bai Jing's hearing was sharp. He had approached to set up a sniper attack, only to be discovered.
He had died entirely because of insufficient intelligence.
If he had faced an assassin like the ones in Wanted, sniping from three or five kilometers away, Bai Jing really would not have had much of a solution.
After shedding a few crocodile tears, Bai Jing crouched down and began studying a question.
Why hadn't a card moving at Mach 5 killed this man? It had not even pierced through him.
Bai Jing raised a hand, turned Bullseye over, then used repulsion to push aside the muscles on his back.
He saw the card lodged in Bullseye's spine.
Ordinary bones were white, but Bullseye's were silver-white and even gleamed with a metallic sheen!
He examined it carefully and was speechless. This wasn't bone at all—it was metal!
Under Gravity Detection, this metal possessed an extraordinarily dense atomic structure. Furthermore, thanks to its ingenious molecular arrangement, the structure had an extremely efficient ability to absorb energy and impacts.
"Vibranium? Or Adamantium?" Bai Jing was stunned. Why did Bullseye have something like this in his body?
So Bullseye had not died instantly because the Adamantium had absorbed the impact?
Unfortunately, not all of Bullseye's bones had been replaced with Adamantium. The card had struck ordinary bone, and although Adamantium had already absorbed much of the impact, what remained was still enough to kill someone...
Adamantium had properties even more exceptional than sound-absorbing steel. Not only could it withstand a nuclear explosion, but when Thunder God's hammer struck it, the Adamantium would be fine while the hammer cracked.
You had to know that Thunder God's hammer was made from neutron star material!
Though a neutron star was still just a little brother before a black hole!
More information about Adamantium would be placed in the author's notes, otherwise it might seem like filler.
Bai Jing reached in and hooked out the card, then pushed aside Bullseye's bones and extracted six segments from his spine. Each segment was only three centimeters long. Since they had been injected into the spine, the Adamantium pieces were oddly shaped.
As for whether it was disgusting, it was nighttime. He had mainly used Gravity Scan, so he could not see anything anyway.
"It's said that once Adamantium is processed, its shape can no longer be changed. I wonder if I can change it." Bai Jing thought for a moment, put away the Adamantium, then pulled a deck of cards from Bullseye's body—the remaining fifty-three cards.
They were all made of titanium alloy, only 0.2 millimeters thick, with edges sharp beyond compare. Thrown with the right technique, they could travel no slower than bullets!
And in Bai Jing's hands, they were Gravity Talismans comparable to an Electromagnetic Cannon!
Mm, from now on, call me Card Master Bai Jing!
Bullseye really was a good person. Not only had he delivered treasure, he had also taught Bai Jing how to develop such a powerful move.
He would pick an expensive cemetery plot for him later!
He stood and walked to the edge of the roof. Cards circled around him one after another, making him look like a true god descended into the mortal world!
"Viper Gang, do you still want to fight?"
