Chapter 325: Chapter 321: The Shattering of Peace

Jie City, the golden district at the city center.

Bang! Bang! Bang…

Gunfire roared!

Cannon fire filled the air!

The smell of gunpowder smoke was everywhere.

This area, which should have been bustling with people, now was filled with corpses, severed limbs, and a pervasive stench of blood.

On the streets, apart from the warring parties, not a single living soul could be seen.

Shops were closed, office buildings were in lockdown, and not even curious onlookers dared to peek through windows.

In certain aspects, humans and cats are very similar, both having an intense curiosity.

They were scared to death.

Except for a very few bold individuals who dared to sneak a peek through their windows, everyone else hid in corners, trembling, hoping time would speed up so that this nightmare event would pass quickly.

In broad daylight, in a relatively peaceful country, such fierce gunfights took place, and some pedestrians’ first reaction was to flee on the spot.

Yet others, numbed by stable society, were more driven to pull out their phones to record videos than to escape.

Thus…

Those who failed to escape for their lives and instead took out their phones were like sitting ducks, killed by those specifically there to eliminate Zhou Yu and Ogata Shitou.

Falling amid the hail of bullets, they cried out in pain, then were finished off by stray bullets.

Only a very few lucky individuals suffered just minor injuries from stray bullets and avoided the execution shot.

Mura Matsuri was one of the lucky ones.

As an office lady, at only twenty-six years old, she was already considered successful compared to most of her peers.

She had excellent looks, a decent figure, a high level of education, and even held a stable, well-paying job; her family had cars and a house, and even her boyfriend was a wealthy, noble second-generation young master, a true winner in life.

Mura Matsuri and her boyfriend had a very stable relationship, and they had even met each other’s parents and completed their engagement ceremony, calling each other fiancé.

But then…

Everything for Mura Matsuri was destroyed today!

To be precise, it was at 6:15 p.m. today.

Mura Matsuri would never forget this moment.

Because of a successful project settlement, her boss graciously allowed the employees off early, sparing them from working overtime. Mura Matsuri and other employees left the office building together.

Downstairs, her fiancé was waiting in a luxury car, holding a bouquet of bright red roses.

Everything seemed so perfect, Mura Matsuri felt like she was living in a fairy tale.

However, the sound of a gunshot shattered her fairy tale dream.

A group of heinous criminals actually started a direct battle right in the city center!

Her fiancé died.

A stray bullet exploded the head of the young yet gentle wealthy man, though not handsome.

Brains and blood stained the roses, leaving Mura Matsuri’s mind blank.

When she regained consciousness amid severe pain, she found herself lying on the ground, with a stray bullet piercing her left hand.

Blood dripped from her hand, tears from her eyes, but Mura Matsuri dared not make a sound.

She whimpered, suppressing her voice deep within her heart.

Only after some time did Mura Matsuri realize that her fiancé was not the only innocent victim in this battle.

The company’s boss and other employees, either too late in fleeing or foolish enough to try filming with their phones to upload online, had been shot into sieves and died horribly.

Whether it was luck or misfortune, Mura Matsuri’s location was coincidentally in the area of the weaker side of the fight.

Over ten illusory figures resembling both human and beast, known as Shikigami, were protecting three men adorned with identical cloud and thunder medals.

Listening to their conversation, Mura Matsuri finally learned the truth today.

This wasn’t a brawl but an ambush and assassination!

The targets were the Chinese man “Zhou Yu” and the Japanese National Guardian-level superpower user [Yin Yang Master]”Ogata Shitou”.

The third severely injured man by their side appeared to be a senior cadre of the [Profound Immortal Team].

The innocent were involuntarily dragged into this slaughter, not by the Profound Immortal Team’s intent, but by the scheming of some insidious force!

Mura Matsuri was no fool.

She quickly realized that she was not a true lucky one.

Nearby, [Yin Yang Master]Ogata Shitou seemed intentionally having a Shikigami protecting her.

From this perspective, the Profound Immortal Team should be the good guys, and their enemies the bad ones.

Thinking this, Mura Matsuri clenched her teeth, not daring to make any noise.

As an ordinary person, she didn’t even have the courage to run away.

She just listened quietly, wanting to learn more about the “Extraordinary”.

Mura Matsuri wanted to become an Extraordinary One who could control her life and destiny!

…

Ogata Shitou had no mind to care for Mura Matsuri, that Shikigami that unwittingly protected her, was simply following his orders to maintain enough tactical space, and nothing more.

The woman was merely self-deluded.

Yet Ogata Shitou was trapped in self-blame at the moment.

Beside him, Sakai Tetsuya lay on the ground, both arms severed at the forearms.

Though the wounds were crudely bandaged with torn clothing, this man had already become crippled.

Sakai Tetsuya, holding both Inner Qi Cultivator and Superpower User identities, though his complexion was now ashen as gold paper, he still had not fainted.

Ogata Shitou opened his mouth but didn’t know where to start.

The one who spoke was Zhou Yu, standing beside him, wielding dual guns.

“Hang in there! Don’t die!”

“As long as our leader arrives, we can survive!”

After Zhou Yu said this, his custom revolver burst out bullets madly, and in the blink of an eye, the barrel was emptied.

This also meant that thirteen more of the enemy gunners had their heads blown off.

[Electric Fire Stone]accelerated thought processes a hundredfold, its simplest use being to lock onto enemies in the kill.

With a gun in hand, Zhou Yu, having barely practiced his shooting to a passable level, became the fastest gunslinger among Earth humans.

“I should have brought a submachine gun!”

Zhou Yu sat on the ground unceremoniously, massaging his throbbing temples, and sighed, “If I had a submachine gun in hand, I could kill them all by myself.”

This was typical delusion.

The attackers weren’t just this group but also snipers hidden in skyscrapers.

Submachine guns didn’t have their range, what right did he have to go against them?

Only the Molten Rock Crow could charge in for individual executions.

The sulfuric-smelling arrogant crow was not adept at protection, but its killing efficiency was extremely high!

No sniper now dared to shoot recklessly.

Anyone who fired and didn’t leave their position within three seconds would get a lava bath.

Even with this situation, Zhou Yu and Ogata Shitou put aside their prejudices and cooperated fully, barely surviving together.

Because…

The scheming enemy had long prepared, and today, they even brought out single-target missiles, high-explosive grenades, and neurotoxic gas.
