More than ten assassins walked out of the cavern. Using the anti-glare sunglasses, Jun Changxiao activated the spying function and determined their strengths. 

Without a doubt, that peak Martial Apprentice was one of Drizzle Pavilion’s four great trump-card assassins. 

Sha, sha, sha.

Xiao Zuiji crawled out from a patch of grass and stood under the tree. In a low voice, he said, “Sect Head, I killed another one.”

Jun Changxiao finished the apple and randomly tossed the core away. “Give me the gun.”

Xiao Zuiji threw the Type 88 sniper rifle up. 

Shua!

Jun Changxiao caught the rifle and picked it up with one hand. Pressing his eye to the 8x Scope, he focused on Black Hawk. 

He decided to kill that trump-card assassin first, causing the others to be more frightened and less organized. 

“Should I aim at the head or chest?”

After a moment of consideration, Jun Changxiao said, “He seems like a group leader of Drizzle Pavilion, deserving of a dignified death.”

He decided to aim at the chest!

Bang!

The bullet exploded out, shooting forward. 

“Huh?”

The figure who had just walked out of the cavern heard a sound and his pupils contracted, an intense aura of death filling his heart. 

Bang!

The bullet hit the target!

Jun Changxiao’s mouth pulled into a smile, but the smile solidified the next second. 

Through the scope, he saw that when the bullet flew close to the target, it was stopped by a barrier of light. 

This… What situation was this?

The system said, [The opponent has a supreme defensive treasure, which formed a barrier and protected him from the bullet!]

Correct. 

The aura surrounding Black Hawk, which looked like a barrier of light, was created by a supreme treasure called the ‘Enchanted Compass’. 

Enchanted Compass.

An ordinary-grade intermediate defensive treasure. 

When the user integrated with it, the treasure would instantly create a barrier of light, covering the user and forming a near indestructible defense. 

The Enchanted Compass was something Black Hawk obtained by accident during a mission. He collected it for his own use, keeping it on his body for emergency protection. 

After hearing the sound of gunfire and feeling that aura of death, he instantly activated the barrier, blocking the bullet that shot towards him. 

It was fortunate that Xiao Zuiji had fired from some distance away, giving him a few milliseconds of time to activate the barrier. If Xiao Zuiji had been about 200-300 meters away, he wouldn’t have the chance to activate the barrier after hearing the shot. 

Although the Enchanted Compass was able to stop the bullet, but there were ripples where the bullet hit. 

Putong!

Black Hawk collapsed onto the ground, forehead dripping with cold sweat, a chill crawling down his spine. 

Those few milliseconds had allowed him to experience the barrier between life and death. 

An assassin did not fear death, but the feeling of brushing past the god of death definitely provided some food for thought!

Bang!

Jun Changxiao pulled the trigger once more, another bullet of light shooting out. 

Black Hawk, who originally thought he had walked back from the gates of death, heard that explosion once more. His scalp tingled and he felt that aura of death once more. 

It was even more intense than a moment ago too!

It’s over…

No, it’s not over! I want to live!

With an intense desire to live, Black Hawk discarded the thought of using the barrier again, which had been damaged the first time. He suddenly grabbed a subordinate, using the other assassin to shield himself. 

Subordinates could die.

But he, himself, could not!

However, could he pull someone over faster than a bullet?

Obviously, he could not. Therefore, before the subordinate was pulled over and without the light barrier to slow down the bullet, there was a ‘bang’ and his chest was brutally pierced. 

Black Hawk stiffly looked down and saw his gaping chest. His pupils slowly dulled and his body thudded to the ground. 

One of Drizzle Pavilion’s four great trump-card assassins, who had performed more than 500 assassination missions.

His method of murder was like an hawk’s claw, five finger’s piercing his target’s chest, ruthlessly scratching or tearing out the target’s heart. 

Holding that still warm heart, which was sometimes still beating, his expression would be savage as he asked, “The you without a heart, what do you feel?”

What did they feel?

The Black Hawk of before did not understand, but he could now. 

Because his own heart was burst by that beam of light. An incomparable sensation of pain racked his brain, tearing every inch of his flesh!

This assassin, who found joy in murdering people, had his heart disintegrated by a bullet. It was that old saying once more — what goes around comes around. 

In a distant tree, Jun Changxiao indifferently said, “There is no problem that a bullet cannot solve. If there is, then use two bullets.”

“Boss!”

The assassins who witnessed Black Hawk’s death cried out in sorrow. 

But they were actually like straw dogs, completely disregarding their boss’s corpse to rush back towards the cave. 

“Want to leave?”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jun Changxiao fired seven bullets, completely emptying the magazine. With the continuous shots, the recoil was hard to withstand and he was shaken off the tree.

As for the dozen assassins who ran, seven were killed at the scene. 

Shua! Shua!

At the same time, the assassins who were responsible for searching the area heard the sound of gunfire and rushed over. But they did not see Jun Changxiao or Xiao Zuiji, only the half eaten apple on the ground. 

…

Black Hawk of Drizzle Building had his heart destroyed by a bullet, ending his evil life. 

When Scorpion and the others learned of this, they were infuriated. 

Although assassins could not be considered sentimental, Black Hawk was still a trump-card assassin. As another one of Drizzle Pavilion’s seniors, they had all worked together as colleagues for a very long time. 

Just after he left the cave he was ambushed — this was really unacceptable!

“Aaah!” Scorpion had his hands on his head, angrily exclaiming, “This father must catch that fellow, must rip him to shreds!”

Venomous Snake calmly said, “Black Hawk had a defensive treasure, but was still killed. That hidden weapon is truly frightening. We cannot act rashly.”

“Old Third, quickly transmit orders: call back all subordinates outside. Without a direct order, no one is to leave headquarters!”

“En.”

Mountain Cat quickly left, informing the assassins searching outside through a special method, making them all return as soon as possible. 

If they had acted like this from the beginning, their losses wouldn’t have been so heavy.

However, Jun Changxiao didn’t allow Xiao Zuiji to randomly shoot in order to create the illusion that the mysterious attacker could only sneak attack, one who could easily be killed when caught; that was so Drizzle Pavilion would continuously send out more people. 

…

In some cave. 

Jun Changxiao grimaced as he rubbed his shoulder, which was numb and aching, though most of the stiffness had disappeared. 

With his Eighth Stage Martial Apprentice cultivation and physical strength, he would withstand the recoil of 2-3 bullets, but anymore would be difficult. 

Xiao Zuiji’s face was filled with worship. 

He had a perfect view just now, and since it was daytime, he had clearly witnessed the sect head consecutively shooting seven bullets to kill seven assassins!

My god.

This marksmanship is simply godly!

Xiao Zuiji clenched his fists, eyes filled with determination. “Sect Head, I will train even more diligently and develop superb marksmanship like you some day!”

Jun Changxiao grimaced slightly. This goal… I fear that it will never be reached.

The next day, he did not order Xiao Zuiji to continue acting. With such a head dead, the organization had definitely realized that this issue was bigger than they previously thought. At this moment, they were like frightened mice, shrinking back into the hole and not daring to come out. 

Jun Changxiao rubbed his temples, muttering, “Then I should consider how to kill the mice hiding in the hole.”

He thought of many ideas. 

For example, blocking the entrance and smoking the cave or using the waterfall to flood the mouse hold, but he gave those up, since those would be useless if there happened to be another exit. 

…

Inside Drizzle Pavilion. 

Scorpion and Venomous Snake were discussing how to search for that severtive attacker. After all, hiding inside was not a solution. 

Mountain Cat said, “Wait until night approaches. I will bring several subordinates out through the back, quietly searching.”

“That’s feasible.”

Venomous Snake approved. “We underestimated the enemy in the beginning and sent out too many people, giving the opponent an opportunity. If we separate into groups and bring out our full strength, we can surely find him.”
