Long Street, and a Sniper Like a God

In everyone's mind, the Tribunal of Taboos is a very strange and mysterious entity. It seems that they can always foresee the death of superhumans and then come to contain them.

They could roughly determine the level of the superhuman being about to die, as well as their location; however, they did not know who was about to die.

Every time they appeared, people knew that a superhuman was about to die.

These people, draped in black linen cloaks like ascetics, resembled a flock of carrion-eating crows.

Typically, the Tribunal of Taboos classifies the deaths of superhumans as Level 1, 2, or 3.

The deaths of C-Class, D-Class, E-Class, and F-Class superhumans are all classified as Level 3 events, which are low-priority events and can be dealt with later.

The deaths of B-Class and Class A superhumans are classified as Level 2 events, which are high-priority events. If these deaths are not handled promptly, they could create Forbidden Zone, so they must be dealt with immediately. The deaths of Level 3 superhumans correspond to Level 1 events, which require members of the Tribunal of Taboos to arrive at the scene at any time and place, even at the cost of their lives.

Therefore, Li Changqing felt that the Tribunal of Taboos arrived too quickly tonight. If it was just a battle between Shadow Candidate, the flock of crows that foresaw death should not have arrived so soon!

Unless, of course, the other side has foreseen that an even higher-level superhuman will die tonight.

Li Changqing looked out the window. The vehicle had entered the low-rise building area of Fourth District, the most famous red-light district in the Fourth District. Street dancers were posing seductively in the windows, and male dancers were mixed in with them, providing diverse services to meet all the needs of their customers...

Li Changqing glanced at the LCD screen in his hand; the image on it was constantly refreshing, and the signal was extremely weak.

In City No. 18, there shouldn't be any places with such weak Wi-Fi coverage.

She silently gazed at the city scenery, then suddenly sighed, "I wonder if it's still possible to park now."

Old Nine was taken aback. "What's wrong, boss?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the vehicle at the front of the convoy came to a sudden stop, forcing the vehicles behind it to brake as well.

The convoy braked so suddenly that no one in the lead car gave any warning.

With several loud crashes, the convoy ahead collided one after another, resulting in a series of rear-end collisions.

"Boss, buckle up!"

Just then, the driver, Xiao Ying, suddenly gritted his teeth and turned the steering wheel.

At the critical moment, the car Li Changqing was in managed to drift away at an extremely tight distance, spinning as if on ice, and broke free from the colliding convoy!

It was this crucial driving skill that prevented the armored car from getting stuck in the colliding convoy.

Otherwise, their vehicle would be completely immobilized if it got stuck there, like prey trapped in a swamp.

Old Nine's eyes lit up when he saw Xiao Ying's driving skills. "Not bad, Xiao Ying."

Xiao Ying didn't answer. He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes sometimes looking at the rearview mirror, sometimes at the road ahead.

As the car was spinning, at one point he slammed on the accelerator.

The car's four tires were screeching against the ground, kicking up huge plumes of white dust.

The screeching of tires filled the air as Xiao Ying forcefully used the car's torque to stabilize the swerving vehicle. The next moment, the armored car sped off like a rocket, heading back the way they had come.

He knew this must be an ambush set up by the enemy; if the car stopped here, it would be all over!

Ignore the other vehicles in the convoy, and ignore whether the other members of the special operations team are alive or dead!

His current task is to get Li Changqing out of here!

As the armored car began its escape, five or six SUVs simultaneously drove out from both sides of the road and followed closely behind.

The Xiao Ying asked, "Boss, where are we going now?"

Li Changqing shook his head. "The other side is very well prepared. I'm afraid we can't go anywhere."

"Huh?" Xiao Ying was taken aback. He turned the steering wheel and tried to drive the car onto the main road.

"But this time it's all thanks to you," Li Changqing said with a smile. "There must have been a lot of assassins with firearms lying in ambush in that place just now, but that's not necessarily the case now."

Xiao Ying ahead, just as Li Changqing had predicted, an off-road vehicle roared closer and closer, charging towards them as if it were courting death.

The narrow two-lane road offered no way to avoid it.

"Open the skylight," Li Changqing said calmly.

Old Nine panicked. "Boss, you should stay in the car. This car is bulletproof."

Li Changqing smiled and said, "The people who dared to ambush me here naturally know that my car is bulletproof. Open the window. How can the newly appointed head of the Li family's intelligence agency act like a coward and hide like a turtle? Have you forgotten that they have plenty of ways to deal with bulletproof cars? Don't die in your car in frustration."

Old Nine was stunned.

He has been protecting Li Changqing for many years, just like a diligent old servant and steward by Li Changqing's side.

From his time in college to his current position of power in a region.

Old Nine knew very well that Li Changqing would only show this kind of behavior when facing a desperate situation; it was the pride of being a member of the conglomerate, and he couldn't die a cowardly death.

Another desperate situation.

"Open the window," Li Changqing said coldly.

Old Nine reluctantly pressed the window open button, and the sunroof on the roof of the bulletproof car slowly opened.

With a loud crash, the armored car collided with the oncoming SUV.

But in that instant, Li Changqing leaped out of the sunroof and landed sharply on the hood of the SUV that was about to crash into him.

The impact felt like a ton of gold; the front of the SUV sank instantly under the force of the fall, and even the tires burst.

Due to the immense inertia, the rear of the car began to lift up, making the entire vehicle appear as if it were about to flip over in the air.

Li Changqing didn't stop. She simply bent her knees and jumped onto the hood of another SUV, repeating the same trick. In just five or six seconds, all five oncoming SUVs, except for the one that collided with the bulletproof car, rolled over and over, and the people inside the cars lost consciousness in the terrifying rolling.

Xiao Ying was stunned. This was the first time he had ever seen a superhuman of this level make a move. The immense and unconventional power he possessed was terrifying!

Li Changqing, who is usually calm and rational, was now like a human weapon.

The woman stood on the long street, looking south and north.

There were no pursuing vehicles or swarms of assassins, only eight people slowly approaching.

The eight people seemed to be in a tacit rhythm, even their walking steps were almost identical.

There are only 8 people.

Not much.

But she understood that the fewer people who came, the more dangerous it would be.

"You seem to be very well prepared?" Li Changqing asked with a smile.

Among the eight people, a middle-aged man chuckled, "Boss Changqing has hidden himself very well; we only recently discovered that you are also a master. However, regardless of whether you are a master or not, we must take you seriously, as that is befitting your status."

Li Changqing nodded. "Speaking so politely, they must be from the Kamishiro Family. They reek of decay. But, they've chosen a good location."

Li Changqing praised sincerely.

She was experienced, so after briefly assessing the terrain from the car, she realized that the person the Tribunal of Taboos foretold to die tonight might be herself.

The roads in this area are narrow, so even if the 081 Garrison Brigade comes to the rescue, the mobile force will have a hard time demonstrating its advantages. Moreover, Li Yunshou has already transferred the entire 081 Garrison Brigade to guard the Banshan Manor.

Therefore, the other party was well aware that at this moment, Banshan Manor was the place that the Li family cared about most, and the best opportunity to kill Li Changqing was tonight.

"Where's Kamishiro Togo?" Li Changqing asked curiously. "My men once blinded one of his eyes. He hates me so much; he should be here to witness my death. Why isn't he coming out?"

"Boss Changqing is joking," a young man in his thirties said with a laugh, standing in the shadow of a building. "Being blinded by Boss Changqing is simply a matter of my inferior skills, nothing to resent. On the contrary, I greatly admire Boss Changqing."

One of Kamishiro Togo's eyes was as empty as ink. He didn't replace it with a mechanical eye because he wanted to remind himself what his goal for the rest of his life was every time he looked in the mirror.

At this moment, when Li Changqing saw the person in question appear, he suddenly raised his hand, as if it were some kind of secret signal.

However, apart from the footsteps of those eight people, there was no other sound on the long street.

"I see," Li Changqing nodded, "There were indeed a few traitors among them."

As she spoke, she slipped into the shadows of the building to avoid the sniper's view as much as possible.

Kamishiro Togo remained in the shadows. "We know that Boss Changqing always has a backup plan. If he didn't have some trump cards, he wouldn't dare to kill you tonight. After all, that's how I lost my eye."

"So, an inside man sold you all the sniper positions I had set up nearby," Li Changqing said. "This inside man wasn't one of my men, because Old Nine didn't know I had other people with me before I came out tonight. Besides, he didn't have the authority to know the special operations team's plans. It's a real shame that six snipers are gone just like that."

Kamishiro Togo laughed and said, "Since the 081 Garrison Brigade can't be moved, using snipers is the best option for Boss Changqing. Anyway, the Banshan Manor doesn't need snipers."

Li Changqing continued, "However, besides the person who exposed the sniper's position, there were other moles in my convoy... right, Wang Bingxu?"

She looked towards the end of the long street.

There was a middle-aged man hiding there, and he only slowly came out when Li Changqing called out his name: "Excuse me, boss."

At this moment, Old Nine and Xiao Ying had already gotten out of the car and were guarding Li Changqing from the front and back.

Even though they knew there might be snipers nearby, they did not back down at all.

Old Nine glared at Wang Bingxu in the distance and cursed, "You son of a bitch, the boss treated you so well, she even saved your mother back then, and now you've betrayed her?"

Wang Bingxu retorted, "You took nine bullets for her, and aren't you still just an old dog by her side?"

Old Nine sneered, "Then come and try, and see how much it will cost you to kill the three of us."

Li Changqing ignored Wang Bingxu and looked at the trembling Xiao Ying in front of him. "Even you are willing to risk your life to protect me, which is quite unexpected."

The Xiao Ying trembled, "Ah... ah?"

He was just an E-Class gene warrior who had just received his second injection; who would have thought he would face such a crisis?

But he had no choice but to step forward, after all, Old Nine had already built up the atmosphere to this point.

Li Changqing laughed at Kamishiro Togo, "On my way here, I discovered that all my communication equipment had been cut off. I was wondering which hacker was behind it. Then I realized that there was no need for a hacker. Installing a jammer in my convoy would have been enough. At first, I couldn't figure it out, but after the first car in the convoy gradually accelerated and then suddenly braked sharply, causing a series of collisions, I realized that the mole was in the first car of my own convoy, and Wang Bingxu was in that car that was evacuating."

Kamishiro Togo clapped his hands and laughed, "Often, the simplest and most unpretentious methods are the most effective."

"Since you've taken the sniping position, why aren't you firing?" Li Changqing asked calmly. "I can already feel a sniper rifle aimed at me. Are you not confident in your ability to win?"

"Being able to sense someone aiming at you from 600 meters away, Boss Changqing is indeed a higher level than I imagined," Kamishiro Togo, remaining in the shadows without taking a single step forward. "I'm just curious, where did you get your cultivation inheritance from? As far as I know, you're not Awakened."

Li Changqing asked curiously, "Are you really confident you can kill me?"

Kamishiro Togo laughed and said, "Without these six snipers, I really wouldn't be confident."

There are only three kinds of extraordinary people in this world: cultivators, Awakened, and gene warriors.

Gene warriors don't reach Grade A; they simply add to their own genes by writing certain gene fragments into them. Gene warriors don't even create Forbidden Zone.

Awakened shouldn't have such pure attack methods as Li Changqing, because most Awakened have a wide variety of abilities, some of which may not be suitable for combat. Not everyone has explosive destructive power like Li Dongze.

Only cultivators possess systematic attack methods.

As Yang Yang said, Awakened might be support, junglers, or even monsters, while cultivators are born to be the core, born for battle.

However, according to the investigation data of the Kamishiro Family, there was never any indication that Li Changqing had ever studied under a master. Before this year, everyone even regarded her as a weak woman who could not even kill a chicken.

She killed one of the Kashima family's top fighters with a single palm strike and then jumped from a height of more than ten stories without getting hurt.

It's a very strange thing. Such a master suddenly appeared out of nowhere, but no one knows where she learned her skills.

But there are only a handful of orthodox cultivation organizations!

At this very moment, atop a distant building, a woman draped in a black linen cloak stands in the night breeze of City No. 18.

The wind howled high above, causing her cloak to flutter.

The woman, standing more than three kilometers away, quietly gazed at the long street, her expression serene.

It was as if three thousand meters could not obstruct her view at all.

A Six-Eyed Crow was perched on her shoulder.

With a click, the door to the rooftop passage behind her was opened, and Li Dongze slowly walked to her side. "March, you've come."

"There will be an A-level death tonight," March replied succinctly.

The meaning is simple: Grade A is worth the trip.

The woman had a thin face, a ponytail, and no makeup. Although she was simple, she possessed a unique charm.

Li Dongze looked down at the long street and calmly said, "Li Changqing's snipers have all been killed. Even though she has quietly advanced to A-level, she can only act with restraint. As you said, she is indeed likely to die tonight. The power struggle within the Li family has finally led to the emergence of the mole."

March and Li Dongze both seemed indifferent, as if what happened in the world had little to do with them; they were merely two bystanders in the night.

After thinking for a moment, March said, "Six snipers plus eight genetically engineered soldiers. Kamishiro and Kashima have paid a huge price to join forces. This is a dead end."

Li Dongze said, "Although it's a dead end, I don't think the one who will die will necessarily be Li Changqing."

March glanced at him. "I didn't say it was her who died."

Li Dongze smiled and said, "Well, we're pretty in sync. I'll be going now. The outcome is already decided. Thanks for your hard work tonight, everyone. Let's not let City No. 18 become Forbidden Zone. Although I really want to leave, I still quite like it here."

March suddenly said, "If you might die someday, please let me know in advance. Containing an A-level enemy is very troublesome, and I need to prepare in advance."

Li Dongze smiled and said, "Okay."

However, just as Li Dongze was walking towards the central passageway on the rooftop, he suddenly paused, abruptly turning around to look at a patch of night.

In the long street.

Kamishiro Togo laughed and said, "Alright, let's stop playing riddles. Family matters are of utmost importance. If Boss Changqing interferes with what we're about to do, it will probably be very troublesome. So, I'd better ask you to die."

As he spoke, he raised his fist, just like Li Changqing had done.

From the south and north of the long street, eight genetically engineered warriors slowly moved towards the center to encircle it.

The eight people moved in perfect unison, their teamwork unparalleled.

From the moment they were selected after being injected with the gene serum, all the training they received was for the purpose of working together to kill A-level experts who were far above their level.

These eight genetic warriors are like a single entity.

In an instant, the eight men sprang up like thunder, joining forces to pounce on Li Changqing.

In a split second, Old Nine rushed out as if committing suicide, desperately trying to break the rhythm and balance between the eight people.

However, when he faced the four men from the north, every punch and kick felt like hitting cotton. The four men surrounded him, their bodies twisting and dodging like puppets. No matter how hard Old Nine tried, he couldn't break their rhythm.

To kill an A-level expert, destructive power alone is not enough, because very few people in this world can match the destructive power of an A-level expert.

Therefore, if the eight people want to join forces to kill an A-level expert, what they need to do most is to preserve their lives and use a soft approach to gradually wear down the A-level expert's combat power and erode his fighting will little by little.

Old Nine felt as if his entire body was encased in a sponge, unable to exert any force, and every move he made felt awkward.

Within just ten seconds of contact, Old Nine was punched and kicked three times, and flew back like a rag doll.

Li Changqing made a move; she had to take on the remaining pursuit from those four, or Old Nine would be dead.

Old Nine felt guilty. His duty was to protect others, but in the end, he had to be protected by others.

Moreover, in order to save him, Li Changqing exposed himself to the shadows of the building and to the sniper's line of sight!

"Boss, watch out for snipers!" Old Nine shouted.

After shouting, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

The sniper bullets arrived in response. Six snipers were hidden in the shadows, and three of them fired simultaneously, but all of them missed.

One of them grazed Li Changqing's shoulder, leaving a scorch mark on the sleeve of her leather jacket.

Li Changqing sighed inwardly; she could only rely on her high-speed movement to try and dodge the sniper's bullets.

There is no other way.

The problem is that the combined skills of those eight people are like a millstone, trying to trap her inside and make her unable to move.

With eight people positioned at eight different angles, no matter which one she wanted to attack, someone would strike from the opposite direction, forcing her to abandon her attack and protect her vitals.

Only by standing among these eight people can one truly appreciate how disgusting the combined attack of these eight gene warriors is.

Superhumans have high attack power but low defense. Even though Li Changqing was hit by several vital attacks, he still couldn't withstand them.

These eight men were determined to die. As long as Li Changqing dared to risk his life, they could kill three or four of them, but they would also be able to keep her here.

It's like you've been bitten by a parasite, but you can't just tear it off because that would leave its mouthparts under your skin.

The pain of the wound is not important, but the mouthparts left under the skin can cause infection, illness, and eventually death.

No, Li Changqing clearly sensed that there was an A-level cultivator hidden among these eight gene warriors!

This is their biggest trump card!

Although the eight people worked in perfect harmony, this strange battle formation still needed a key point; otherwise, how could it be so tough, sharp, and deadly?

The enemy was hiding among these eight people, waiting for Li Changqing to prepare for a desperate attack before unleashing a fatal blow.

At this moment, Li Changqing was still wearing a punk-style leather jacket and a short wig.

That was the outfit I changed into so that Qing Chen could sneak me out to play. Now that I think about it, the clothes were ripped open by a sniper rifle before they even got a chance to be used, and I can't wear them anymore.

I wonder what that boy is doing now.

If the other person knew that their new friend was going to die, would they feel even a little sad?

In an instant, the eight gene warriors of the Kamishiro Family suddenly joined forces, instantly shrinking the circle surrounding Li Changqing, making it difficult for her to maneuver.

If the sniper wants to kill Li Changqing, now is the best time.

However, the expected scene did not appear.

No shots were fired.

Only 600 meters away, on the Xinlei Building, a pane of glass suddenly shattered.

A roaring sound followed.

Sniper!

But not a sniper from the Age of Gods!

The spot where the glass just broke was the sniping point that Li Changqing had set up earlier, and it was also the place where Kamishiro Togo's sniper had taken over!

Everyone was stunned.

No one expected that there were other snipers across from the Chunlei Building!

The traitor within the Li family has never been mentioned!

Before anyone could react, a burst of blood mist suddenly erupted from the body of a B-Class gene warrior next to Li Changqing.

Shards of glass fell from the sky, passing through the colorful neon lights.

On the long street, the gene-engineered warriors exploded in a cloud of blood mist.

The astonished looks on everyone's faces.

Everything was so dramatic.

This shot instantly shattered the balance of the eight people working together!

Kamishiro Togo stood in the shadows, frowning as he turned around. He looked behind him and saw the sniper there!

Across from the Chunlei Building, the nearest high point is the Jinmao Building, which is over 2,000 meters away.

Only the height and angle of the rooftop there are sufficient to overlook everything here.

At this moment, the Jinmao Building, the Long Street Battlefield, and the Chunlei Tower are in a straight line, with the Long Street Battlefield located between the snipers of both sides.

However, what if the sniper is on the Jinmao Building?

That means that the shot the other side just fired to kill the assassin in the Spring Bud Building... the sniper bullet had to travel a distance of 2,600 meters, pass through the long street, and then fly to the Spring Bud Building!

Who could do that? Kamishiro Togo couldn't think of an answer for the moment!
