This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 75 - 72 I Bet There Are No Bullets in Your Gun!

A D-class life form is indeed formidable.”

“Apart from the Silver Grey Beast trampled into mash, there seems to be no other casualties.

Is it worth causing such a ruckus just to kill that one called Li Ming?”

Li Ming felt a slight shudder in his mind.

Are they here for me?

“Ashen” people?

“No matter how loud it is, as long as it can’t be traced back to us, it doesn’t matter,” this time a female voice spoke, “Last time that guy tricked us, causing us to be reprimanded by the general, the captain can’t swallow this grievance.”

The man then said, “Not just last time.

This guy named Li Ming has been deceiving us from the start and even killed Black Spider.

The boss is definitely going to retaliate.”

“Alright, don’t waste time.

Let’s continue the chase and see what the situation is.” The woman spoke as sporadic Silver Grey Beasts passed by them, seemingly oblivious to the two people.

Just as the two were about to continue tracking, they suddenly heard a rustling noise from the edge of the cliff.

“Huh?” The woman in leather halted her steps, turned her head, and furrowed her brows while her chest heaved.

“What’s that sound?”

“It might be those Silver Grey Beasts that just fell down.” The man next to her was nonchalant.

“I’ll go check it out.” Out of caution, the woman cautiously walked toward the edge of the cliff, leaned out her upper body, and looked down, then turned pale with shock.

A mechanical arm in her sight kept enlarging, piercing directly through her chest.

Her eyeballs rolled, and she fell silent.

She would never have dreamt that someone was hidden at the bottom of the cliff.

“Scorpion!” The man exclaimed, seeing a blood-red drill emerging from Scorpion’s back.

He had no time to react before he saw Scorpion’s body being thrown over, and he instinctively leaped backward.

He then saw a figure charging up from the bottom of the cliff, moving at an extreme speed, its four mechanical arms even faster.

Someone was under the cliff!?

“Li…!” The figure in his pupils became clearer, and the man was incredibly frightened; he recognized him—it was their target.

How could he be hiding here?

No one could answer his question.

The intense pain that drilled into his heart paralysed his whole body, then his vision blurred, and finally, he plunged into darkness.

Li Ming’s figure landed, killing the two was effortless.

But several Silver Grey Beasts that were at the rear of the main force turned around, their crimson beastly pupils staring intently at him.

“Why aren’t they affected?” Li Ming wondered, quickly dispatching these few Silver Grey Beasts.

He then searched the bodies, finding some items of no value, which could still amount to a couple hundred metal energy points.

The only items worth noting were two tubes of liquid, one pink and the other green.

The moment he pulled out the pink liquid tube, the surrounding Silver Grey Beasts, who seemed to have been stimulated, roared and rushed over.

Li Ming immediately understood, opened the green liquid tube, and instantly, those Silver Grey Beasts passed by him, effectively ignoring him.

“So that’s what it was…” Li Ming mused, then he threw the bodies down the cliff, pondered for a moment, used his mechanical arms to climb up the rock wall, and finally stopped at a very high position, quietly lying in wait there.

“Let’s see how many rabbits will show up.”

Shortly after, two figures leaped out from a pathway, one draped in a coat and the other short in stature, holding a large terminal device, frowning and saying:

“Scorpion and Del should be right here; where are they?”

“An error occurred?”

Black Eagle surveyed the surroundings, his eyebrows tightly knit.

This place was all a mess of blood and flesh; it was impossible to see anything.

His gaze fell outside the cliff.

He walked to the edge, crouched down, looked down, and his expression changed slightly; he saw some traces clearly just left, resembling some type of drill.

Bang!

The sound was startling, like a thunderclap out of the blue, and almost simultaneously, the Black Hawk vanished from the spot.

But what burst forth was the brain matter of the short man.

He stiffened and fell, a bullet hole in his forehead, the back of his head turned to mush.

The Black Hawk slipped into the shadows, his expression somber.

Through the trajectory, he had deduced the enemy’s location.

“A sniper rifle, it must be your father’s,” Black Hawk exclaimed, tearing off a corner of his coat and throwing it fiercely.

Bang!

The corner of the coat exploded, and Black Hawk further confirmed the target’s position, his face as rugged as weathered stone.

He continued, “You know, you surprised me, not just you but your father as well.”

“Our intelligence collected every detail of you and your father over the past six years.

I don’t know how your father taught you, but you fooled all our intelligence personnel.”

“Your father was once like us, knowing that our top priority was the target.”

Bang!

Another piece of clothing exploded, followed by Black Hawk’s swift move to another position.

Bang!

The rocks in front exploded.

Hiding in the shadows, Black Hawk’s heart rate quickened, his body overheating, with black lines emerging on his cheeks,

“The second most important thing is concealment… but I’m curious, since you’ve hidden for so many years, why not keep hiding?”

“Or maybe…”

Swish!

Black Hawk’s figure suddenly darted out, barely heard a screeching sound, and the wind howled, his coat fluttering like a predatory hawk, soaring into a narrow stone path.

Bang!

The bullet passed through his afterimage.

“You seek revenge?” Black Hawk continued, unsettling the prey’s mind, also a crucial part of the hunt: “He was a good father, truly lived incognito, unfortunately…”

“But I can assure you, he died without any pain, well… maybe.”

As he finished speaking, he propelled himself forward again, at a similarly high speed.

Another bang!

Falling short again.

Black Hawk grinned, facing a smooth rock face, seemingly about to crash, but his body twisted with incredible flexibility and then clung to the rock face.

He saw the young man hidden in the shadows, already trapped in panic and fear.

“Reinfeld heavy sniper rifle, effective range 3km, magazine only holds five rounds, I count six including one in the chamber,” Black Hawk retorted with delight, usually very cautious when completing targets, mainly relying on surprises.

It has been long since he had such an exhilarating hunt.

“Now, your gun’s empty…” Black Hawk had not finished speaking when his assured expression suddenly changed dramatically.

From the shadows, a flash of electricity burst forth, and a bright blue beam surged out.

Li Changhai’s last electromagnetic armor-piercing round fired!

Spurt!

Blood burst forth.

Black Hawk’s body violently fell, his right shoulder tearing off a large chunk of flesh.

Blood gushed unstoppably while his body twitched.

“A seventh bullet?” Black Hawk, enduring severe pain, incredulously mused.

He calculated precisely, with short intervals each time he exposed himself, precisely to prevent Li Ming from reloading.

Yet, he still managed to fire that electromagnetic armor-piercing round, timed so perfectly to coincide with his attack.

Could it be… an unbelievable thought emerged, Li Ming anticipated his prediction, already knowing he would charge when the bullets were supposed to be exhausted.

Not giving him time to think, another shot hit his thigh, though it didn’t tear the flesh.

For a E-grade life form, only the electromagnetic armor-piercing rounds posed a significant threat.

However, bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The gunshots continued, and by the time Li Ming fired the third round, Black Hawk finally rolled into the shadows, catching his breath momentarily.

Damn it, did Li Changhai modify his sniper rifle?

How could there be so many bullets!?

Fortunately, since Li Ming is only an F-grade life form, even though he’s severely injured, he wouldn’t dare to expose himself easily or to attack him head-on.

“Strange, why don’t you have that kind of energy barrier?” Black Hawk finally heard the first words spoken by Li Ming, filled with puzzlement and disbelief, as a figure landed not far away,
