Chapter 128: replying in kind

Sha, sha, sha!

In the dark wooded mountains, Xiao Zuiji fled from the stone pile where he had opened fire a moment ago and killed the assassin. 

This guy was really like a ghost, making it virtually impossible for people to guard against him. 

Jun Changxiao stayed in his hiding spot, not moving. 

In his opinion, this forested environment was a good opportunity to train Xiao Zuiji. 

The frequent sound of gunfire and the six killed assassins enraged Drizzle Pavilion. Even more assassins rushed outside, roughly 30 or 50 of them. 

Many of them were gold-level assassin, but they judged that the attacker was hiding and had some sort of hidden weapon, and so were more vigilant as they searched the area. 

It was useless.

As long as Xiao Zuiji locked on, there would be an explosion. Even if the gold-level assassin heart the sound, they would not have enough time to run and would be shot through the chest. 

The Type 88 rifle was just that overbearingly brutal. 

Jun Changxiao secretly thought, If I refresh and get an AMW rifle, the bullets will contain even more power!

Bang!

Bang!

After about one hour. 

Xiao Zuiji had fired ten shots and killed eleven people, hitting his target every single time without fail. 

But the downside was that the rifles sound was too loud, so he was forced to change position every single time. If he stayed in the same spot, he would be easily discovered. 

While he was in the wilderness with Ye Xingchne, he had become better adapted to field combat. Sometimes he would crouch in a thick patch of grass and appear unmoving, unnoticeable to even an assassin right next to him. 

Jun Changxiao commented, The rifles power is pretty good, but the sound is too loud. If there was a silencer, that would be perfect.

Ka

Xiao Zuiji sat on a branch, integrating another crystal core into the clip. After loading another 10 rounds, he closed the hatch. 

This movement was very smooth, very professional. 

Theres someone on the tree!

A gold-level assassin depended on an assassins intuition and discovered Xiao Zuiji, calling out an alert. 

Before, it was always them hiding somewhere, not daring to make any sounds. But now the roles had been switched, which was a bit ironic. 

Shua!

After that Third Stage Martial Apprentice assassin informed his companions, he leapt into the air, the cuff of his right sleeve gleaming with a harsh light. 

Xiu, xiu, xiu!

Three gleams of light powerfully flew forward. 

Xiao Zuiji didnt bother looking through the scope and directly opened fire. The arcs of light exploded in the air, pulverizing the hidden weapons and blasting through the assassins chest. 

Since he had set the gun on his shoulder, the impact from the recoil caused him to lose balance and tumble from the tree branch. He naturally flipped in mid-air, like a cat, and landed on the grass below. 

Just as he was about to step forward, several more assassins rushed over from behind. 

But those assassins only saw their companions body and simply did not discover a persons figure on the tree. 

Tsk, tsk. This boy used the recoil to aid his withdrawal, escaping the situation very calmly. He really is an innately talented sniper, Jun Changxiao praised. 

Theres someone here! Suddenly, there was a shout from behind the tree.

Bang!

Jun Changxiao lifted the Desert Eagle and shot behind him, directly killing that silver-level assassin. He said, Noisy.

Shua!

He then lightly leapt off the tree, rushing from his position. 

After two hours. 

Xiao Zuiji, hidden in different places, shot two full magazines and killed more than 20 assassins. 

Jun Changxiao did not act again, observing the overall situation in secret. 

The Drizzle Pavilion was outraged, sending out more than 50 assassins one after another. Although they were not able to find the culprit, they followed the sound of gunfire and formed a large net, encircling the area. 

So long as they gradually contracted the space, they would certainly find the culprit!

Coo-coo!

A birds call sounded. 

Xiao Zuiji, who had aimed the gun and was prepared to fire, picked up the Type 88 rifle and quietly left the encirclement, heading to a cave several li away. 

Shortly, Jun Changxiao arrived. 

Sect Head, Xiao Zuiji said, puzzled. Why did we retreat?

Jun Changxiao sat down, taking a puff of his cigar. Can assassins stay in one place after they kill someone?

Cannot, Xiao Zuiji answered. 

Jun Changxiao said, So, toway was just a first meeting gift for Drizzle Pavilion. The future is more splendid.

Whether or not the assassin killed their target, as long as they made a move, they could not stay in the same place and would soon disappear. 

Jun Changxiao made Xiao Zuiji withdraw in order to reply in kind, making the assassins feel the ruthlessness of humanity and make them feel sorry for being alive.

Drizzle Pavilion. 

This organizations headquarters was not actually a pavilion, but a natural cavern behind a waterfall on a nearby mountain. 

In the assassination business, they had naturally offended my influential figures or powers. But depending on the surrounding terrain, the organization had successfully evaded dangerous crises before. 

But these few days, Drizzle Pavilion was a little annoyed. 

Because hidden somewhere was an assassin even more professional than their own, who would appear every once in a while and massacre their members before vanishing. 

Hateful!

Some cave in the headquarters, Drizzle Pavilions second-in-command, the trump-card assassin who was code-named Scorpion, angrily smacked the stone table. Just who is it that is sneaking around and attacking us?

As an organization created of assassins for assassination missions, that their own members had actually been the ones assassins Anyone with a little temper could not endure it. 

Moreover, the assassins within Drizzle Pavilion were few in number. The training was terribly difficult; let alone a dozen dying, even 3 or 5 assassins dying was a huge loss. 

This cave had another three trump-card assassins, respectively code-named Venomous Snake, Mountain Cat, and Black Hawk.

These four people were the left and right hands of the pavilion master. Besides special missions, they would generally be in the headquarters, responsible for arranging the various missions. 

The once called Venomous Snake growled, All the members who died were pierced through the head or chest by something, likely a very fierce hidden weapon!

Some time ago, on Spirit Spring Mountain, an Ironbone Sect disciple used something called the invincible cannon, shocking several Martial Ancestors, Mountain Cat said. Do you think the person hiding is using that thing?

Its possible, agreed Black Hawk.

Scorpion angrily exclaimed, Then the person sneak-attacking us is from the Ironbone Sect! My Drizzle Pavilion sent out assassin after assassins but couldnt kill that sect head. He dares to send people and assassinate our people instead, what guts!

Second Brother, they are in the shadows, we are in the open; this is too passive.

Shadows and killing intent covered the assassins face as he said, We might as well take the brothers and storm the Ironbone Sect, trashing the entire place!

Youngster, you are too naive. 

The reason Sect Head Jun dares to come play assassination here is because he activated the Great Sect Protecting Array, ordering the disciples that they cannot leave for now. 

Ah.

Venomous Snake shook his head. I have already said that the mission regarding assassinating the Ironbones sect head is something only the Pavilion Master can do. Now look at us, weve kicked a steel plate and lost so many members.

Scorpions expression was dark. 

He was the one who had accepted the Spirit Spring Sects payment, accepted the mission to assassinate Jun Changxiao. 

But he didnt expect that this ninth-grade sect head would be so formidable. Not only did every attempt fail, he also lost several gold-level assassins. 

Bang!

There was an explosion from outside. 

The four didnt even need to consider, some more members had definitely been attacked. 

Pah!

Black Hawk pounded the table with a fist, seething. Second Brother, I will lead people outside and catch that fellow!

Venomous Snake urged, You must be careful!

Mhm. Black Hawk donned his black robes and strapped on various types of hidden weapons. He then gathered more than ten assassins and left the headquarters.

Directly opposite the cavern, on a tree several hundred meters away, Jun Changxiao was munching on an apple. Chewing with a smile, he said, Peak Martial Apprentice, a big fish has finally come out.
