Chapter 261: Chapter 238: Battle Against Maga Skill Again

Wu Li made big strides forward in the air, and while his speed looked fast, it wasn’t as fast as he could move on land.

On one hand, he needed to maintain his body balance; on the other hand, the greater the applied force, the quicker the speed would become. Wu Li was afraid he might exert too much force, loosening the steel cable and plummeting to his death – that would be an injustice.

Even as formidable as he was, falling from a height of more than twenty meters would undoubtedly be fatal.

Hence, what appeared to be an astonishing speed to onlookers was actually not Wu Li’s fastest.

There was roughly a fifteen-meter distance between the two buildings, yet Wu Li covered half of that span within seconds.

However, at that moment, his brow furrowed sharply, and his body abruptly crouched down, curling into a tight ball.

Bang! A loud gunshot rang out.

A sniper rifle!

After the rocket had shattered the glass on the seventh floor, Wu Li had heard the sound of a sniper rifle, so he was on guard against this all along.

His decision to run on the steel wire was not only due to concern about being fired upon by the criminals below, but also because he was worried about sniper attacks.

Sure enough, halfway through his run, the gunshot sounded – someone was aiming at him.

Training a sniper was not easy. Bill only had two snipers on hand, and they were just mediocre at best. Even so, Bill had left both of them on the seventh floor of this building, not only to shoot at people on the street below but to cover Bill’s escape later.

With the the considerable height, the two snipers on the seventh floor quickly noticed Wu Li running on the steel cable.

Through his attire, they quickly confirmed he was not one of their own, so they fired at Wu Li without hesitation.

Wu Li contracted his body, evading the first shot, and in the next instant, he felt a chilling sensation on his back – the feeling of being targeted with a gun.

Behind Wu Li, from behind a window on the seventh floor, a black man was aiming his sniper rifle forward.

The crosshairs in his scope were locked onto the crouching figure of Wu Li in mid-air, a smirk forming on his lips as he was about to pull the trigger.

He had been taken aback when the swiftly running Wu Li had first appeared in his scope, for he had never seen such a method before.

Once sure Wu Li wasn’t an ally, he fired the first shot without hesitation, but Wu Li had dodged it.

Through the scope, he could clearly see that the target had moved even before he had shot.

The black man wasn’t surprised; obviously, Wu Li was a warrior with an extremely sharp sixth sense – something his own boss, Bill, could also do. If Wu Li had been on solid ground, the sniper would not have been confident in killing him, but now Wu Li was mid-air.

Even if you sense my shot early, how can you dodge it in mid-air? Do you really think you can fly?

Either my bullet will kill you, or you’ll fall to your death. How will you choose?

With this cruel thought, the black man pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A split second before the firing, the black man’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Through the scope, he could see that Wu Li did not choose to be shot motionless; instead, he chose to jump, but not downwards – he leaped to the side.

Bill had deployed three steel-wire guns earlier, which meant there were now three steel wires between the two buildings. In the blink of an eye, just before the black man fired, Wu Li moved his hands and feet in unison and leaped onto the steel wire to his right.

The two steel wires were one meter apart. With Wu Li mid-air, crouched and propelling himself off, he accurately landed on the other wire.

What guts that took!

The black man was stunned. He had pulled the trigger subconsciously, and Wu Li had already made his move, causing a nearly surefire shot to miss.

Wu Li landed firmly on the right wire and without a moment’s hesitation, leaped forward, propelled himself out.

He could no longer afford to hold back. He used as much strength as he had – after all, if this wire loosened, there were two more beside it. Compared to that, the threat of the sniper rifle behind him seemed greater.

Before the black man could come to his senses, his companion fired a third shot at Wu Li.

Wu Li took a step and jumped back to the left wire, dodging that shot.

Not far away, in a mall at the crossroads, all those watching Wu Li uttered exclamations continuously. They were witnessing Wu Li’s high-wire act twenty meters above the ground, moving back and forth between two slender steel wires – it was incredibly dangerous and thrilling!

The fourth and fifth shots rang out almost simultaneously, one targeting Wu Li and the other his right side.

This time, the two snipers coordinated with each other, not giving Wu Li another chance to evade by jumping sideways.

Wu Li didn’t jump sideways but instead plunged forward. He dived between the two wires, which looked as if he intended to jump down. But at the last moment, he grabbed both wires, one with each hand, and with a forceful push, his whole body soared up again and flew straight into the gaping hole of the seventh floor.

He had entered the Martial Arts Hall.

After landing and tucking into a roll, Wu Li rolled to one side, avoiding exposing himself in the opening and giving the two snipers behind him a chance. Only then did he have time to survey the interior of the Martial Arts Hall.

The hall was a mess – the makeshift ring in the center had collapsed, and around it lay several charred corpses.

Wu Li frowned, got up, and took a quick look to ensure that none of the bodies were Li San’s, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The sound of gunfire continued from the direction of the main entrance of the Martial Arts Hall, indicating a fierce battle still raged outside.

Wu Li carried his short knives in both hands and ran towards the entrance.

Half of the seventh floor was taken up by the Martial Arts Hall, while the outside was a specialized clothing district. Today, it had been reserved by the Hongmen, and the seventh floor was not open for business. Now, it had utterly turned into a battlefield.

When Wu Li stepped out of the Martial Arts Hall, a heated battle was raging outside.

Several marble pillars obscured his view, preventing Wu Li from getting a full picture at a glance. He just saw seven or eight hooded thugs, either hiding behind the marble pillars or inside some shops, occasionally poking their heads out to fire their guns.

Wu Li took a few steps out and crouched behind a counter to observe the situation.

Before long, he saw a figure dashing out quickly, taking a few steps before flashing into a shop.

Li San!

Wu Li was invigorated, thrilled to see that Li San was still alive.

Yet with just a glance, Wu Li could tell Li San’s condition wasn’t good; his body was covered in bloodstains, whether from the enemy or his own, Wu Li couldn’t tell. But Li San’s movements seemed hesitant, and his burst of speed was much slower than when he had sparred with Wu Li before.

As Li San dashed into a shop, a voice rang out, seemingly in command, immediately followed by three thugs charging out, looking as if they were about to get close to Li San and shoot him.

As these thugs rushed out, there were people from the front, coming out from the shops and behind the marble pillars, who began firing at them - clearly Hongmen members.

While the Hongmen members were shooting, Wu Li saw the only man among the thugs who wasn’t wearing a hood using an assault rifle to return fire.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The man was a good shot, hitting two people in the blink of an eye, one’s head was even blown apart.

The firepower of Hongmen was suppressed, and the three thugs advanced quickly.

Just as the three were mere meters away from the shop where Li San was hiding, Li San rushed out, his arm raising to throw the dagger he held in his hand.

The only weapon Li San had left was a dagger, and with that throw, it embedded itself into the forehead of one of the thugs.

One throw took down one man, and before the other two could fire, Li San pounced, grabbing one of the gun barrels. With a surge of power, he slammed the two into another nearby shop, and he also tumbled in after them.

Seeing this, Wu Li no longer waited and charged out.

He quickly reached the nearest marble pillar. A thug was crouching beside it, firing his gun. As he heard a noise behind him and turned his head, Wu Li swiftly slashed his throat with a knife.

To his right, Bill had also noticed the commotion behind him and turned around just in time to see Wu Li rushing towards him.

Bill reacted quickly, immediately opening fire, but Wu Li had already dodged in advance.

Such reflexes caused Bill’s pupils to narrow, and he frowned, instantly reminded of the Master-level fighter that had been reported to him earlier by the Seventh Squad.

"Everyone charge; kill Li San!" Bill yelled loudly, ordering his men to advance.

The Fifth Squad, which had entered the Martial Arts Hall through steel wires, was the most elite small squad under Bill’s command. Their earlier offensive had been fierce, and Hongmen’s men on other floors were desperately blocked by Bill’s men, temporarily unable to come in. The manpower remaining on the seventh floor was not much, as Zheng Yingrong had not anticipated a direct inside attack.

The previous exchange of fire immediately put Hongmen at a disadvantage. If not for Li San’s desperate defense, the people on this level might have already been wiped out by the Fifth Squad.

However, Li San paid a price for his resistance, draining a lot of his strength, and he had sustained injuries. When Bill entered the seventh level, his superior spear technique applied tremendous pressure on Li San.

Bill was smart. Instead of trying to shoot Li San directly, he fired at the rest of Hongmen’s members. As long as those supporting Li San were taken out, Li San wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer on his own.

By now, Bill could see that Li San was reaching his limits, so he gave a direct order for all his men to charge and decided to personally handle the suddenly intruding Wu Li.

Unlike the subordinates from the Seventh Squad, Bill used single shots rather than spraying bullets, ensuring the accuracy of his spear technique and the speed with which he could move the barrel.

Bang! The first shot.

Wu Li stepped to the left to avoid it, but the second shot followed almost immediately.

It was too late to change direction again, and Wu Li could only throw himself forward.

The second shot missed as well, but Bill’s eyes gleamed with intensity because he had forced Wu Li to the ground, where he wouldn’t be able to muster strength as quickly as standing.

Bill swiftly aimed the barrel of his gun at Wu Li, who was sprawled on the ground, and took the third shot.

Bang!

Before the shot rang out, Wu Li thrust his hands against the ground, his arms’ explosive power springing his body up, and he quickly rolled to the right, dodging the bullet that shattered the tiles on the floor.

To the right was a marble pillar, and Wu Li rolled behind it, causing Bill to lose sight of him.

In such a complex indoor environment, even though Bill had better marksmanship, Wu Li had more places to hide.

The next second, before Bill could act, Wu Li flashed out from behind the marble pillar, his left hand tossing a short knife at Bill.

The two were less than five meters apart, and the knife flew with incredible speed.

Bill blocked Wu Li’s knife with the assault rifle in his hand, allowing Wu Li to close the distance in the meantime.

Before making his move, Wu Li had recognized the man as Bill and used System Detection to check him:

"Military Maga Skill (Master Level), Overall Score: A— (85%)"

Bill’s Overall Score wasn’t too high, but the Military Maga Skill wasn’t about ring strength anyways.

Bill decisively swung his assault rifle at Wu Li while taking a step back and drawing a military knife from his thigh.

This time, Wu Li also wielded only a knife, matching Bill’s knife with his own.
