Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 223
Chapter 223: We Must Gang Up on Him
After seeing how the 6th MR commander determined that the bullet should’ve hit, the other people were also very curious, but due to the current time being night, the videos were all in black and white and it was difficult to see whether the bullet actually hit Xu Cheng or not. After the dust that Wang An threw over settled back to the ground, on the screen, Xu Cheng was still standing there, but he had one arm extended towards Liu Wei. Liu Wei was dumbfounded.
He was sure that he hit Xu Cheng, and he was certain that the bullet wouldn’t miss, yet the referee was still not signaling that Xu Cheng was out. So, he was very confused – did Xu Cheng not get hit?
But just when he was confused, everyone saw the fist that Xu Cheng extended out suddenly opened, and a bullet fell down. This shocked Liu Wei, and even Wang An had his mouth wide open as if he had just seen a ghost.
“Wait a second, look at the screen. Did you guys notice something drop from Xu Cheng’s hand?” At this moment, some commanders with sharp eyes saw something slip out of Xu Cheng’s fist.
The technician immediately replayed and enlarged the details, and everyone was shocked to find that what fell out from Xu Cheng’s fist was actually that missing bullet!
“How’s that possible?” Everyone was shocked.
“He… He can actually catch bullets?”
Instructor Yan actually dumbfoundedly looked at Xu Cheng on the screen. Now, he finally realized why Xu Cheng really wanted to come back and compete in this competition. He came prepared, and he was here to bring honor to his name!
Xu Cheng looked down at Liu Wei on the floor like a king. Right now, the rifle was still aimed at Xu Cheng, but Liu Wei’s brain was completely blanked out at the moment.
Xu Cheng faintly looked at him and said, “Why not give it a try and fire another shot?”
No one would’ve believed what they saw just happen. Liu Wei was drawn back to his senses after what Xu Cheng said. He looked at the rifle, hesitating. He wanted to fire another shot, but he was scared that Xu Cheng could actually catch the next bullet as well!
Gritting his teeth, a hint of determination flashed past his eyes. He pulled the trigger and fired another shot at Xu Cheng.
The muzzle sparked in the pitch black night, and Xu Cheng could see the muzzle form a beautiful blooming flower of flames, pushing out a bullet that pierced the air and flew towards his chest. Xu Cheng felt that he was taking his time, but everyone else just saw his arm flashing in front of him and making a catching action.
The technician said, a bit dumbfounded, “It’s not a hit again, it seems like the bullet was caught again.”
Everyone’s jaw almost dropped to the floor and they all forgot to talk. The monitoring center was so quiet that the sound of a needle drop could be heard.
After awhile, the technician finally broke the ice and mumbled, “I’ve seen people capable of catching a blade with their bare hands, but never have I in my life seen someone catching a bullet with bare hands…”
Although it was an empty shell, but it was fired at such a range and incredible speed, even if someone were to guess a thousand times, they still wouldn’t be able to catch it, yet Xu Cheng caught it twice in a row at such a range and was able to neutralize all the force the bullet was carrying, finally letting it rest in his hand…
So, Xu Cheng’s feat today not only shocked everyone that saw this scene, it terrified them. Right now, Liu Wei’s legs were already soft like two flaccid weiners.
But, Wang An sobered up faster than him and he immediately rushed up to grab onto Xu Cheng’s legs, shouting at the dumbfounded Liu Wei, “Get out! We can’t all be eliminated! Hurry up and get out!”
Liu Wei came back to his senses as well, seeing Wang An temporarily restraining Xu Cheng. He knew Wang An was basically out now with the injuries he had, but if he were to be eliminated right now as well, then they wouldn’t be able to live with the ranking they would receive. So, he must leave right away, even though his legs were soft, he still had to try his best to run away.
At that moment, the only thought in Liu Wei’s head was to turn around and run, trying his hardest to get away from this demon. Behind him, Xu Cheng looked at Wang An and sighed, “You will be beaten to death if you keep on holding me like this, do you know that?”
Wang An bitterly smiled. “You don’t need to, I will do it myself.”
Then, he picked up his dagger and wiped it against his neck and then pretended to be dead. On his side, the groggy Ye Qiu was still moaning miserably, “My balls… hurt…”
After Xu Cheng left, Wang An patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder and said, “I saw how Xu Cheng just ripped your as- apart, and I could feel your pain. Just hold on, the staff members will be here soon to bring you to the hospital. Also, next time, don’t try to lock people’s neck with your legs again… You are not a woman, you still have your treasure dangling between those two legs, why put it at risk?”
Liu Wei ran. He didn’t care about his image at all anymore, and he was running as if he had just seen a ghost, tripping over rocks and bumping into branches as he constantly looked back to check if Xu Cheng was following him.
Finally, he fell to the ground, and when he lifted up his head, a barrel was pushed against his forehead.
“The 6th MR? Ohoho, a big fish!”
Liu Wei sat back up against a tree. As long as he wasn’t facing Xu Cheng, he wasn’t nervous even when there was a rifle held up against his head.
He slowly said, “If you guys don’t want to get aced, it’s best if you hear what I have to say.”
The one that caught him was the 3rd MR, the number 2 ranking region from last year’s competition. Captain Tie Shi squatted down and asked him, “Where’s your Wang An and Ye Qiu? Get those two over. Last year, I barely lost to them, and I came prepared this year. I won’t lose again.”
Liu Wei bitterly smiled. “This year, there’s a black horse that will scr-w over everyone.”
Tie Shi frowned. “Black horse? How black? There were black horses in previous years too, but it was just a good show momentarily. Who makes it to the end? It had always been elites like us. Hurry up and tell me, where’s Ye Qiu? I need to fight him again.”
Liu Wei looked at Tie Shi. “I’m the only survivor of the 6th MR.”
“What?!” The 3rd MR’s people were all shocked.
Tie Shi laughed. “What do you mean? Ye Qiu and Wang An got eliminated? Are you kidding? If they weren’t fighting each other, then I’m curious. Who else is capable of eliminating them other than us?”
Liu Wei: “Let me say it again, they are all out, and I’m the only one left from the 6th MR. If you want to eliminate the 6th MR completely, you can do so right now. But, I can only tell you that you will all regret it. I have intel that could help you guys fight that black horse. Right now, I don’t really care, but I just feel that I shouldn’t be eliminated right now and that we should team up to kick that guy out first. Listen to me, if that guy doesn’t get eliminated, then the competition this year will be the darkest time in history, one where all the top-ranking military regions get face-slapped. If you all go and feed him one team after another, then he would ultimately be the man that conquers this whole jungle. That is unless everyone joins forces to deal with him.”
Tie Shi snorted and sneered, “Only low-ranking teams that suck would team up, and we are not shameless enough yet. If there’s such a black horse, how come I’ve never heard of him? Don’t try to scare me.”
Liu Wei looked at Tie Shi and sneered as well, “Ask yourself this, if you could barely beat Ye Qiu, what chance do you have when I tell you that, the reason I was running away like this was because Wang An and Ye Qiu were both eliminated by that guy? They weren’t eliminated from being ambushed, but KO-ed from actual melee combat. Wang An and Ye Qiu teaming up to fight one guy, yet they were eliminated within 10 moves. Have you seen this kind of monster before?”
Tie Shi and his guys eyes all stared wide open upon hearing this.
