Chapter 79: Qian Luobing
Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Qian Luobing
Without warning, Long Ming scrambled to his feet and pulled the trigger.
PFFT! PFFT!
A player from the All Stars Guild was headshot by Long Ming before he even knew what was happening.
Another player twisted his body away, but a spray of bullets still slammed into him.
Gritting his teeth against the intense pain, he forced himself to pull the trigger.
BANG! BANG!
A loud roar erupted.
’Damn it!’
Long Ming’s expression changed instantly as he charged out.
Just then, Qian Luobing, who was outside, heard the gunshots and immediately led several of her subordinates toward the movie theater.
Meanwhile, Adika also heard the shots and yelled to his men.
"Go!"
But just as Adika was about to move out...
BANG! BANG!
Suddenly, a volley of bullets sprayed past them from behind.
"Aargh!"
Two players were hit and fell to the ground.
Adika immediately spun around to see Guardian Chapter, who had revealed himself, already turning to run.
"That son of a bitch! After him!"
Adika immediately led his men in pursuit.
...
Long Ming had just run into the movie theater lobby when he came face-to-face with Huo Liang and his men.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he raised his Carbine, pulled the trigger, and fired a grenade at them.
"Spread out!"
Huo Liang’s face paled, and he quickly dodged to the side.
BOOM!
The massive explosion instantly sent two players from the All Stars Guild flying.
Long Ming raised his Carbine and opened fire on Huo Liang and the others.
BANG! BANG!
Aargh!
Amidst cries of pain, Huo Liang and his men were gunned down.
Phew.
Long Ming let out a breath of relief. He didn’t even plan to loot their bags, intending to leave the lobby directly.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps and quickly looked up.
A cold, imposing figure walked in.
When Long Ming saw it was the fox-masked woman, he felt an intense sense of danger and immediately turned to run down the hallway to the screening rooms.
Just then, Qian Luobing raised the automatic pistol in her hand and fired controlled bursts at Long Ming.
BANG! BANG!
Long Ming let out a muffled grunt and retreated back into the hallway.
Qian Luobing then extended a foot clad in a white cloth shoe, flicked a dropped assault rifle off the ground, and caught it mid-air before walking toward the hallway.
Inside the screening room hallway.
A pained expression crossed Long Ming’s face.
He’d been shot in the back.
Fortunately, his military-grade body armor had stopped the bullet.
Fighting through the pain, Long Ming changed his magazine. Just as he was about to return fire, a high-explosive grenade was thrown his way.
He immediately leaped backward.
BOOM!
A massive explosion erupted.
Long Ming scrambled up in a sorry state and quickly dashed into Screening Room 1 next to him.
Qian Luobing strolled casually into the hallway, turning her head to look at the open door of Screening Room 1.
Inside Screening Room 1.
Long Ming stood on the sloped aisle, aiming his Carbine down at the entrance from his high ground.
’The moment that fox-masked woman dares to come in, I’ll gun her down.’
Just then, a flashbang was thrown in.
’Not good.’
Long Ming’s expression flickered.
CRACK!
A blinding light erupted.
Long Ming was instantly blinded. Relying on memory, he leaped toward the seats to his side.
Qian Luobing charged in, her eyes quickly scanning the entire screening room. She immediately opened fire on the area where Long Ming was hiding!
BANG! BANG!
Seat after seat was torn to shreds.
Long Ming rolled forward and raised his Carbine to return fire.
Qian Luobing immediately retreated to the hallway, using the entrance for cover as she fired back.
The two exchanged constant fire.
CLICK! CLICK!
Qian Luobing’s rifle ran out of ammo.
She dropped the rifle, drew a blue automatic pistol, and prepared to fire.
Suddenly, she heard the faint sound of a pin being pulled, followed by an impact grenade being thrown her way.
The instant Qian Luobing heard the sound, she swiftly retreated and shut the door.
BOOM!
Another massive explosion went off.
Watching this, Qian Luobing’s eyes glinted slightly. She pulled out another flashbang and threw it into the screening room.
Then, she charged in at top speed.
But when she got inside, she found the screening room empty. Long Ming was long gone.
She saw the open emergency exit door at the back of the room and immediately gave chase.
When Qian Luobing reached the emergency stairwell, she heard hurried footsteps from below as her subordinates ran up.
Seeing Qian Luobing, they quickly called out.
"Commander."
Qian Luobing glanced at them, then immediately continued up the stairs in pursuit.
She soon chased him to the mall’s rooftop.
However, by this time, Long Ming had already slid down a drainpipe from the rooftop!
Qian Luobing walked to the edge of the roof and looked down.
She saw Long Ming run into a network of intersecting alleyways, quickly fleeing the area.
"Interesting. He’s pretty fast."
Qian Luobing’s eyes flickered. She pulled two injectors, one red and one blue, from her tactical belt and stabbed them into her arm.
...
「A few moments later.」
Long Ming sprinted through the narrow alley. He glanced back, and seeing no one in pursuit, he breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
’I finally got away,’ Long Ming thought, feeling a little guilty. ’But I sold out Guardian Chapter and ran off by myself.’
But just then, a blur shot out from the corner ahead.
’Crap!’
Long Ming’s expression changed drastically. He skidded to a halt and was raising his Carbine to fire when...
Qian Luobing sent his weapon flying with a high roundhouse kick.
’Damn it!’
Long Ming’s face tightened. He threw a backhand punch at Luo Bing.
Qian Luobing tilted her head slightly, precisely dodging the attack as her sharp right kick cut through the air.
Long Ming blocked instinctively!
BAM!
The immense force sent Long Ming stumbling back a step.
A look of shock crossed his face. ’My Power is no match for hers?’ He subconsciously reached for the Viper Fang on his tactical belt.
Qian Luobing’s eyes sharpened. She charged forward, her long right leg kicking out directly at him.
Long Ming immediately raised his left forearm to block!
BAM!
Qian Luobing then pushed off her left foot, leaping into the air and striking straight for Long Ming’s face.
Long Ming could only raise his right arm to block, barely deflecting the blow and staggering back several steps.
After landing, Qian Luobing tapped the ground with her toe and launched a back kick as fast as the wind, striking Long Ming square in the abdomen.
A pained look twisted Long Ming’s features as he stumbled back and slammed into the alley wall.
Qian Luobing closed in, aiming a powerful kick directly at Long Ming.
Long Ming immediately twisted his body to dodge.
Qian Luobing’s kick missed, hitting the alley wall instead. She used the wall to pivot, twisting her body into a sweeping kick at Long Ming.
Long Ming quickly raised both arms to block, stumbling backward.
His heart sank. ’I never thought this woman’s skills would be this good.’
’And her base stats completely overpower mine.’
Just then, Long Ming noticed Qian Luobing’s eyes were glowing faintly. ’It’s obvious this woman has injected some kind of drug.’
’No wonder this fight has been so frustrating.’ But Long Ming didn’t let this intimidate him.
He took a deep breath, pushed off the ground, and launched a fierce attack at Qian Luobing, sending a heavy, powerful straight punch whistling toward her face.
