NOVEL NEXT Chapter 329]
(Lao Lai will hold a gathering with Mixed book friends this Sunday. If you're interested, have time, and haven't signed up, please pay attention to the "Shenzhen (Pearl River Delta) group" announcement.)
I will make sure you and your sniper partner stay here together!
These words left the long-haired sunglasses man slightly surprised. Not because Li Yan spoke as if the man was nothing, nor because Li Yan guessed there was a sniper, but because he discovered them so "coincidentally"!
To avoid possibly being detected by King, he instructed his partner to stay focused and only after his clapping gesture would they lock onto Li Yan and prepare to kill. Now, it seemed King indeed noticed immediately.
"I believe King has this capability. Two bombs I meticulously arranged didn't harm him in the slightest when he was unarmed and unprepared, which speaks to your prowess. But, why do you think I'm 'Tears'? You know, the news of King's return excites many, and stepping over you to rise is the wish of many peers," the long-haired sunglasses man continued humbly.
"Do you want to know?" Li Yan smiled slightly, "Come over, I'll tell you!"
He had already made a decision. Today, the opponent came prepared while he was caught very passively. Plus, this person and the sniper wouldn't be novices, so the situation was dangerous. For this reason, he had to use the "Heart Demon" to control this assassin, have him come over, use him as a meat shield, and prevent the distant sniper from firing freely. The sniper was too far away for him to control, he couldn't even ascertain the specific position, otherwise, he'd have directly controlled the sniper to blow the enemy's head right in front of him.
As he uttered "come over," he was ready to start using the Heart Demon, aiming to catch the other's astonishment, seize the opportunity to control his mind.
Sure enough, upon hearing Li Yan's words, the long-haired sunglasses man froze for a moment. Is this a joke? How could I possibly go over, how could he say such childish words?
At this moment, an unforeseen intervention occurred!
A black motorbike, which had been parked under an umbrella at a stall in the square, was riderless moments ago. Out of nowhere, a helmeted individual mounted the bike and charged swiftly over!
The motorbike's roar shattered Li Yan's plan, disrupted the opposing side's agenda, and broke the harmonious atmosphere between them, which seemed akin to friends chatting. Li Yan and the man both focused on it, but only with the corner of their eyes, while maintaining their awareness of each other.
The motorbike was evidently prepared, its speed rapidly soared, roaring towards them, and its target was actually the long-haired sunglasses man!
Both immediately discovered this and swiftly reacted!
The long-haired sunglasses man felt somewhat helpless about this unexpected intervention.
King was indeed formidable, but he knew very well that King was unprepared, brought here by his design, certainly without guns or weapons. Even relying solely on agility, within a seven-meter distance, it was enough to react. But this motorbike was different; not only was it a third-party adversary, it clearly understood his setup, arriving here in advance to seize the chance to kill him. This meant not just a faster motorbike, but potentially a gun concealed on the person.
Hence, he immediately made a decision, raised his hand swiftly with a wave, targeting the motorbike!
Like Li Yan, as an excellent assassin, he would not allow situations beyond his control to arise, regardless of whether the newcomer had King's prowess in abilities. He must first eliminate them. Allow the distant sniper to intercept kill, sure to be faster than the motorbike rider!
Following his hand motion, a bullet from a sniper rifle hundreds of meters away shot out immediately, piercing the air with an unresponsive speed!
A strong person surpasses others not just because of physical abilities but also because of the mind! Like assessing an enemy before action is not only mandatory but demands quick judgments and rapid reactions.
The long-haired sunglasses man estimated Li Yan would make a move, but the motorbike rider posed a greater threat, so he signaled the sniper to intercept kill, while he himself drew a gun and aimed at Li Yan!
Everyone anticipated the actions not made by the other, Li Yan was no exception. Upon realizing the motorbike's target was not him, but the opponent, he immediately understood the movements of the long-haired sunglasses man and sniper, and charged forward. At this moment, there's no time for the Heart Demon technique for someone with strong mental fortitude in high alert state, a close-range approach is required!
A hundred-meter sprinter can run over ten meters in a second, almost reaching the lightweight skill level of martial arts masters leaping nine meters. But that's a sprint's average speed, static start speed falls short. However, Li Yan was only seven meters away, and the opponent executing instructions, drawing a gun, aiming wouldn't happen in a second either.
...
Each person estimated the other's actions and prematurely judged and reacted. But everyone's premature responses evolved into a chain reaction forming entirely different outcomes.
The long-haired sunglasses man leisurely drawing the gun found Li Yan already in his face, while the motorbike didn't fall with the bullet and rider "falling," instead, it reached beside him;
The sniper discovered his estimation and feeling were right; the bullet indeed hit the position above the motorbike rider, only the rider leaped beforehand! Forced, he couldn't retract to kill Li Yan in time, had to shoot to pursue the third-party target with surveillance;
The motorbike rider was prepared and after narrowly evading the bullet interception, rapidly deployed a specially made smoke grenade, enveloping several meters in disgust, while continuing to dash towards the long-haired sunglasses man;
Actually, Li Yan's situation required less than a second to reach seven meters, needing only five meters before the other aimed, enough to evade deadly gunfire. While a handgun has effective lethal range within 50 meters short-distance, it's not a close-combat weapon, demanding certain reaction distance varying with gunman and target skill levels, when a trained individual closes within two meters while fast approaching, aiming for a fatal shot, it becomes difficult.
Sooner said than done, the scene showed the long-haired sunglasses man's gun just aimed, Li Yan was already in front while the motorbike reached his side, forcing him to retreat several steps, evading the motorbike first. As he prepared to shoot despite not hitting vital points, Li Yan, leveraging his momentum, jumped, already heading towards the motorbike horizontally positioned between them due to opponent's retreating actions. But his quick extension reached out, simultaneously swiping.
"Li Brother! Hurry!"
The motorbike rider, impressed and somewhat fearful, worried Li Yan might misjudge him as an enemy, the smoke haze made him vocal quick!
Duan Haibo?
Today's affairs caught Li Yan unprepared, but the motorbike rider clearly came prepared, seemingly as a "watcher" role, expecting an assassination of "Tears" by a third-party, surprisingly it was Duan Haibo! In fact, this was his first time witnessing Duan Haibo in action, thus couldn't recognize him when helmeted.
"Get on!" He slapped the rear seat.
Duan Haibo didn't hesitate, rushed over, and leaped onto the motorbike's rear seat. Li Yan accelerated immediately.
