Xiao Qi led all the team members downstairs without looking back, where other residents from other buildings were waiting.

When they arrived downstairs, Xiao Qi said to one of the residents, "It's all taken care of. They've all been tied up with restraints. The rest is up to you. Please take care of it."

The homeowner said excitedly, "Please don't say that, we should be thanking you. We've been waiting for you like the stars have been rising for days, and you've finally come!"

Xiao Qi smiled and said, "The infrastructure renovation can start tomorrow, but there are quite a few residential buildings to be renovated this time, so let's take it slow."

"It's alright, it's alright," the homeowner said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

After Xiao Qi led his group to the next battlefield, the homeowner called on the others to run to the ninth floor. They lifted up the gang members, whose hands and feet were tied, and carried them up to the Great Hammer Building.

That was a newly built labor reform site...

The Parent's Association was short-handed, so they wanted to launch a blitzkrieg, capturing one stronghold after another and then relocating the controlled club members, but they were still short-handed.

Killing them all would be a waste, since not everyone in the gang deserves to die.

Therefore, if they want to use more than a hundred practitioners to shake up the entire District 9, they must utilize the power of the people.

The homeowners can't fight each other, but helping to transport gang members who are no longer capable of fighting shouldn't be a problem.

The battle tonight proceeded in full swing, with everyone having their own roles.

Luo Wanyai stood calmly in the command center, his heart pounding with excitement. He watched as one building after another on the holographic map turned from black to red.

Zhang Qinghuan stood to the side, his excitement written all over his face. He had witnessed firsthand that in just one hour, a quarter of the territory in the District 9 had been captured.

Just then, a few more people walked in from outside the command post. Zhang Qinghuan was taken aback. "Aren't they the old henchmen of the Blackwater Gang and the Great Hammer? What are they all doing here?"

These people greeted Luo Wanyai politely, saying, "Black Family."

Luo Wanyai laughed and said, "Go ahead. This time, you will be the ones to take over those territories. Remember, you are the new bosses of the Blackwater Gang and the Great Hammer Society."

Several family members laughed and said, "We understand. We'll handle the coordination with PCE."

"Yes, that way no one will notice us," Luo Wanyai nodded. "Go ahead, and remember, the reason you're able to shoulder these responsibilities is because you haven't done too many bad things in the past. From now on, remember our discipline as well. Also, come to the team building activities every week."

The Art Troupe has been quiet for the past few days, not because Luo Wanyai is unwilling to seize territory, but because he needs time to prepare for everything.

PCE won't allow too many large guilds like Dragon Mark in the Lower Three Districts. They prefer hundreds of guilds fighting each other, so that if something happens, it will only cause minor trouble, not major trouble.

So, to avoid the attention of the PCE, not only do you need someone to attract attention in the city, but you also need someone to pretend that nothing has happened.

There are still clubs like Blackwater, Art Troupe, Great Hammer Society, and I Want To Buy A Watch Club, but parents will be above all clubs, hidden in the clouds, and the core members of all clubs will be members of the Parent's Association.

Zhang Qinghuan was stunned by what she saw. All the preparations Luo Wanyai had made over the past few days had come to an end tonight.

He stared at the people who were going to take over the territory, and after a long pause, he said, "Old Luo, I want to ask you something. Is Boss Qing Chen in City 22? Was the chaos in the city tonight also caused by him? But since he is a member of a conglomerate, why would he make these preparations to subvert the rules? He himself is the rule, and also a beneficiary of the rule."

Why has Your Majesty rebelled?

This was Zhang Qinghuan's biggest question.

Luo Wanyai gave Zhang Qinghuan a deep look. "You'll find out sooner or later."

"Will he be in danger tonight?" Zhang Qinghuan asked.

"Have no idea."

Kamishiro Yunluo looked at Xu Linsen in front of her and Jiang Mubei to her left.

His five Bone Woman, Hone-onna, Mezu Raksha, Oki-Hori, Tenjō-shita, and Shirayōsei, all guarded him.

"The Ace of Black Spade A resorting to assassination? I'd like to ask, what grudge do we have?" Kamishiro Yunluo said with a wry smile.

He was drinking peacefully, seemingly oblivious to the world, when suddenly he stepped outside and was punched.

Xu Linsen's punch just now looked fierce, and it felt even fiercer when you took it. The fire pit in the Great Snow Mountain was full of barbarians. Whether they practiced swordsmanship or boxing, they all followed the most fierce path, going straight and direct.

As the saying goes, "Once a thought arises, nothing can stand in its way," which is the essence of the practice of fire pit meditation.

However, the cultivation tradition of the Fire Pit has a drawback: one cannot lose on the path of cultivation, or more accurately, one's Dao heart cannot be damaged.

Once the most powerful Great Elder, known as invincible among his peers.

Unfortunately, he encountered Li Shutong, whose essential teaching of cultivation, "Once a thought arises, no mountain can stand in its way," was met with an insurmountable and unbreakable mountain in the human world.

So the elder's cultivation came to a halt.

Some say that the Great Elder of the Fire Pit was once the person in the Fire Pit who was closest to becoming a demigod; perhaps he only needed to take one step to become one.

Unfortunately, he encountered Li Shutong, and thus his resolve to follow the Dao was shattered...

Thus, the Great Elder's catchphrase became "bad luck".

At this moment, Kamishiro Yunluo seemed to have thought of something and looked into the Black Swan Restaurant. Chen Sui, who should have been sitting there, was nowhere to be seen.

Xu Linsen glanced at it thoughtfully, but he didn't think about it any further. He knew that the Art Troupe was waiting for an opportunity, and that opportunity couldn't be too short.

"A-rank versus A-rank, tonight's battle between us is bound to be spectacular," said Kamishiro Yunluo slowly and deliberately. "As a renowned A-rank expert, you should know the principle of 'kings don't meet,' so why are you taking this risk?"

"Try it and you'll see," Xu Linsen said, flashing forward again. He leaped high and punched the Mezu Raksha in the face, sending the several-meter-tall Mezu Raksha rolling backward more than ten meters.

But right after that punch, the blade in the Bone Woman's hand also went straight for Xu Linsen's vital parts. The battle between shikigami is never isolated. Once one of them is attacked, a chain reaction will occur.

Standing on the long street, Kamishiro Yunluo sighed as she watched the heavy snowfall, "I come here every day to help you meet your targets, and this is how you trick people into coming to kill me..."

A rumbling sound came from the street, which was shaken by the battle, and the walls of rows of buildings were reduced to ruins.

The dazzling holographic neon lights have become broken and dilapidated. The holographic dancers who were dancing in front of the bar are frozen in place and flickering because the projection equipment has been damaged.

Just outside the long street, hundreds of cars had completely blocked off the area, Kamiyo Yunhe closed, resting.

An officer asked, "Sir, should we go and support Kamishiro Yunluo?"

Kamiyo Yunhe didn't even open his eyes. "Wait a little longer."

The officers looked troubled. They knew that Kamiyo Yunhe and Kamishiro Yunluo had a long-standing feud, and that Kamiyo Yunhe wanted to use someone else to kill the officer Unro.

Kamiyo Yunhe may not care about such things, but if they are investigated in the future, they will probably be held accountable.

After all, Kamishiro Yunluo was an A-level expert and a strategic resource of the conglomerate. No one wanted to see such a loss. Even the Ten Eunuchs, who disliked Kamishiro Yunluo, did not want him to be killed like that.

However, without Kamiyo Yunhe's order, none of them dared to move.

At this moment, Qing Chen was running quickly down the street, heading in the opposite direction from the battlefield.

Arrive.

He entered a building in the Fourth District, took the elevator to the top floor, and ascended into the sky.

After reaching the top floor, Qing Chen climbed onto the rooftop.

The Black Sniper lay prone, looking at the Kamiyo Yunhe, which appeared as Little Black in the scope.

From the very beginning, Qing Chen had no intention of killing Kamishiro Yunluo with Xu Linsen. Compared to Kamishiro Yunluo, who was always trying to boost his performance, the person he wanted to kill more was Kamiyo Yunhe.

At one point, he thought that if Kamishiro Yunluo were alive, it might cause even greater trouble for the Kamishiro Corporation.

Kamishiro Yunluo's ambitions are too great. The current rigid social hierarchy of Kamishiro cannot contain the ambitions of this ambitious man.

Qing Chen adjusted his breathing on the rooftop.

He knew that at this very moment, all the high-rise buildings within a 2600-meter radius of the battlefield were already filled with skilled ambushers.

He was using Xu Linsen and Kamishiro Yunluo to lure Kamiyo Yunhe, while Kamiyo Yunhe was also using himself to lure him.

This is a psychological game. There must be a reason why someone as cautious as Kamiyo Yunhe would suddenly stand motionless in the sniper's line of sight.

Everyone knows that 2200-2600 meters is the maximum shooting distance for Boss Bai Zhou. Kamiyo Yunhe nature, so he might expand the ambush point by another 200 meters.

Therefore, Qing Chen chose the 2900-meter mark.

The problem is that 2,900 meters is the ground distance; once he climbs to the top of the building, he looks down at the ground.

The building is 1,100 meters tall and 2,900 meters above the ground.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the formula for the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is: a² + b² = √(a² + b²).

The length of the hypotenuse, which is the firing distance, is 3101.6 meters.

This was a distance Qing Chen had never attempted before.

Breathe.

Thin wisps of white mist billowed from beneath his thin nostrils, mingling and swirling with the falling snow.

Visibility is poor in snowy weather, which many people don't know, and there is usually no strong wind in the snow season in cities.

It was as if the wind had blown all its way through before the snow fell.

Qing Chen looked at the swaying wine banners on the street and silently made calculations.

Wind speed 15.

Ambient temperature -5°C.

The ballistic parabola descends from an altitude of 1100 meters to 133 meters, with a vertical height of 29 meters.

This shot was definitely not that simple.

At this moment, Qing Chen was at an altitude of 1100 meters, while Kamiyo Yunhe was on the ground at an altitude of 133 meters.

Even if the two people are at the same altitude, for a bullet to pass through 3,100 meters, the muzzle would have to be pointed upwards. The bullet would have to climb 29 meters first, and then descend in a parabolic trajectory.

The bullet's trajectory is no longer a straight line; this explains why the vertical height of the parabola is 29 meters.

Now that he and Kamiyo Yunhe on the same horizontal plane, the difficulty of ballistic calculation will undoubtedly be even greater.

Qing Chen's gaze seemed to merge with the world.

Breathe.

The past is gone.

The future is here.

The best time is now!

Pull the trigger.

At this point, after a brief recoil, the rotating mechanism inside the gun converts some of the recoil kinetic energy into new kinetic energy.

Unleash its full power.

A SLAP-type armor-piercing discarding sabot round was ejected, leaving the barrel with an initial velocity of 1040 meters per second. The round carried a 24-gram tungsten alloy armor-piercing single core and flew at supersonic speed for 1900 meters before its speed began to gradually decrease.

Qing Chen got up and left without looking back.

The person who was shot will only hear the gunshot several seconds later.

In fact, Qing Chen wasn't entirely confident about this shot, but he only had one chance, so he didn't use tracer rounds to indicate the trajectory.

But none of that matters anymore; the rest is up to fate.

But the bullet pierced through the midnight, through the flying snow, through the daytime and the raging fire of the Parent's Association.

Crossing mountains and rivers.

The bullet flew through the air for more than three seconds before finally falling in an absolutely beautiful parabola.

With a bang, Kamiyo Yunhe's thigh suddenly burst open, spraying blood. However, the bullet had already consumed most of its kinetic energy during its flight, and it was no longer enough to cause fatal damage to an A-level expert.

But.

In an instant, the tungsten core inside the cartridge case burst out and, with all its remaining kinetic energy, shattered the femur of Kamiyo Yunhe!

Kamiyo Yunhe roared, "Where's the sniper?!"
