Super Zoo-Chapter 757 - 738: Could You Suck the Poison Out
The alley was so narrow that just two people standing side by side felt crammed, with filthy water streaming across the ground and a rank fishy smell wafting through the air, a world apart from the clean and tidy streets of Causeway Bay just outside. freewebnøvel.com
Out of professional habit, He Baowen shielded Suming behind him, raising his gun and aiming it at the two robbers opposite them.
Within ten meters, the killing power of a revolver was astonishing; the two adults nearly blocked the alleyway completely, leaving no room to run. Should he fire, there was no chance of missing.
Just as He Baowen felt victory was certain, Suming suddenly had an intense feeling of alertness.
"Watch out!" He reached out to pull He Baowen back, his hand just touching He Baowen's shoulder, when the shoulders of the two men opposite them twitched slightly, followed by a 'buzz buzz' sound tearing through the air as if something was flying towards them at extreme velocity.
Almost simultaneously, a cold glint flashed, and two small black dots were already before their eyes.
Hearing the sound and seeing the black dots were almost instantaneous. Suming was taken aback, the speed of these two 'objects' was nearly comparable to the speed of sound!
In the midst of it all, unable to discern what the objects were, a Phantom Energy Storage Sphere split open, and the strength of an elephant spread throughout his body at a speed faster than sound. With a flex of his arm, he forcefully pulled He Baowen's body behind him.
Ding, a crisp sound rang out, and sparks flew in all directions!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. He Baowen felt a slight pain on his cheek, a fierce wind brushed past, and his hand shook as if electrified. The revolver was ripped from his grasp by a vast force, hitting the wall, bouncing off, and falling to the ground.
On closer inspection, He Baowen's sweat poured down in an instant; the muzzle of the not-so-long revolver had been neatly sheared off.
Not far away, a polished shiny hexagonal dart, still having momentum, was half-buried in the cement wall.
Is this...is this even possible by human standards? If he had foolishly remained standing there just a moment ago, would that dart have hit him...
Unthinkable!
It wasn't just He Baowen who was shocked; the two ninjas on the other side were also sweating bullets.
They had followed Suming and He Baowen all the way, observing the two talking and laughing together, even going to eat. They appeared to be a couple.
Even if not a couple, their relationship was not ordinary. A blind man could see that this woman had feelings for the man beside her.
Thus, even knowing that He Baowen was a police officer, they hadn't anticipated that she would carry a gun.
After all, what woman would go shopping with her 'boyfriend' and bring a gun along? Was she even a woman?
Moreover, given how she was dressed, it didn't seem like she had anywhere to hide a gun!
Who knew she would have one, especially one that she pulled out from under her dress!
Cold weapons have never had an advantage over firearms; since the birth of firearms, cold weapons have gradually exited the stage of history.
As masters of cold weapons, the two ninjas were particularly sensitive to firearms and had a natural animosity toward them, educated from an early age that against firearms, they must strike first.
The moment He Baowen revealed her gun, the nature of the encounter changed. Previously, the ninjas had only planned to 'teach Suming a lesson', but once the muzzle was pointed at them, they turned into scaredy-cats, sensing the threat of death.
Momotaro, being older and having experienced more sudden incidents, managed to stay calm, making defensive evasive moves as his first reaction;
Liuchuan Feng was different. As the most outstanding ninja of the younger generation in the Koga Faction, this handsome young guy's professional skill was top-notch domestically, but it was precisely because he had spent most of his life honing his craft that he was somewhat naive in other areas, lacking experience in dealing with emergencies.
The top expert of the Koga Faction found himself threatened with a gun, and his anger and sense of humiliation surged!
Move like wind, strike like fire; attack is the best defense, a dead enemy is the best enemy!
Without hesitation, he made an extremely aggressive move, flicking his wrist, and two darts flew from his hand.
At such close quarters, it was hard to say whether the handgun or the darts were deadlier.
"Damn it!" Momotaro cursed in his native language, giving Liuchuan Feng an angry glare.
The audacious youths, daring to fire darts at an officer in a foreign country!
Did they think this was the era of Warring States, where assassinations were rampant!
Momotaro knew too well the capabilities of Liuchuan Feng; at such a short distance, his darts were definitely deadlier than a handgun, capable of taking on three or four professional gunmen on his own.
The problem was that the other side wasn't assassins; they were legitimate police officers!
Causing a fatality would mean inescapable seppuku for the both of them, and it could embroil Prince Jiako, even the Emperor himself!
Luckily, the young man had blocked it, preventing a disaster.
Now, all Momotaro could hope for was escaping; it was time to make a quick exit.
He shouted at Liuchuan Feng, and the two of them turned and swiftly fled the alley.
Just as they were leaving the alleyway, Liuchuan Feng glanced back at Suming.
Hmph, no matter what, I managed to fulfill Princess Jiako's command, somewhat.
Thinking of Princess Jiako, Liuchuan Feng felt a surge of energy - she was the goddess he had been secretly in love with since he was seven!
...
A gun and two darts had both parties frightened and confused. He Baowen was still shaken, forgetting and not daring to chase after the two men.
