Chapter 353: Stubbornness
A figure suddenly lunged out from the shadows.
The short sword in his hand stabbed straight at Qin Ran's throat.
Fast and vicious.
But just as he was about to reach Qin Ran, he suddenly raised his left hand.
Click!
Whoosh!
With the sound of a trigger mechanism, a short bolt shot toward Qin Ran's face.
It was completely unexpected.
Perfectly suited to the man's identity: a killer.
Or rather, there was a term more fitting for this era.
Assassin!
When the man had entered Qin Ran's perception in a slow, concealed manner, Qin Ran had taken less than a second to confirm his identity.
Because the feeling the man gave him was too familiar.
He had felt something similar from the killer players who had previously kidnapped Cole.
However, compared to the skills of those killer players, this man was far inferior.
Even though he had been cautious enough, he still could not escape Qin Ran's perception.
And once an assassin was discovered and lost the chance for that sudden strike, no amount of compensation would help when facing Qin Ran.
Qin Ran was more cautious than anyone else.
He would not let a stabbing short sword draw all his attention. He was used to observing his opponent as a whole. Just as he liked to play little tricks while attacking, he did not want to be fooled by an enemy's little tricks.
Therefore, the instant the man pulled the trigger, Qin Ran had already made an effective evasive move.
He picked up the girl behind him and spun to the right.
Not only did he avoid the bolt, he also dodged the thrust of the short sword.
At the same time, his left foot followed through with a kick to the man's lower back.
Bang!
