Naming Technique of the Night

Jindai Yunhe was shot, which was something no one had anticipated.

The Garrison Forces began reinforcing the area immediately when the battle erupted at the Black Swan Restaurant, placing personnel within a 2800-meter radius.

This was all to guard against the Daytime Boss's sniping ability that surpassed A-Class perception range.

However, the unpredictable tungsten-core armor-piercing bullet still arrived on schedule.

Reports came in stating that the shot was fired from outside the encirclement.

This news left the entire Garrison Forces in shock... Outside the encirclement, which meant a range of over 3000 meters? Is this really something humans can achieve?

They looked at Jindai Yunhe again, the femur of his severed leg would probably need to be replaced with a mechanical limb too.

The soldiers of the Garrison Forces couldn't help but wonder what kind of deep hatred the sniper held against Officer Jindai Yunhe to insist on replacing all his limbs with mechanical ones?

Even those from the Ten Eunuch wouldn't care for this body anymore, right?

What they didn't know was that, whether it was the last time when Jindai Yunhe's shoulder was shot through, or this time with the femur, Qing Chen had always aimed at fatal parts, determined to kill.

It's just that the first time, Jindai Yunhe was too alert, with a strong survival instinct, so the pre-planned shot missed.

This time, the range was too far, and even Qing Chen couldn't guarantee a direct hit.

He originally aimed for the neck, but it ended up hitting the leg.

At 3101 meters, it's a miracle the bullet hit the target; Qing Chen wouldn't do anything so pointless.

But the Jindai soldiers didn't realize he missed his mark.

In the eyes of Jindai soldiers, they only felt this assassin was ruthless, tormenting Officer Jindai Yunhe to death bit by bit!

Too terrifying!

"He's definitely still heading downstairs now, all Garrison Forces, go encircle him for me!" Jindai Yunhe roared angrily.

The sniper fired from the rooftop of the building, and Garrison Forces were already stationed nearby, with soldiers just over a hundred meters from the building.

As long as they quickly surrounded, the sniper wouldn't escape!

In the city's airport, over ten armed helicopters suddenly took off, escorting two B-Class Floating Ships, heading towards the target location.

A military officer said, "Officer, should I first escort you to the hospital to treat your leg wound?"

Jindai Yunhe snarled, "What treatment at this time? The guards stay to protect me, everyone else go capture the sniper!"

As he spoke, the Garrison Forces mobilized en masse, like a tide, surrounding the building.

Qing Chen walked slowly down the safe passage; he couldn't go too fast because if Xu Linsen's battle wasn't over yet, he would vanish without a trace on this side.

Then, all of Jindai's Garrison Forces would turn their attention, trapping Xu Linsen and Jiang Mubei in the Fourth District.

He asked them for help, but he couldn't leave them to die here; that was Qing Chen's thought.

He had just descended to the 7th floor when he heard the dense sound of military boots coming from below.

Boots with steel plates slammed against concrete, making harsh sounds.

This time, Jindai came faster than expected.

Qing Chen frowned and charged downward, but he had just encountered those Jindai soldiers on the stairs when they unhesitatingly opened fire.

They forced him back.

After retreating two floors, Qing Chen charged again after the gunfire subsided.

The Jindai soldiers seemed not to expect him to counter-attack so quickly, grabbing the throats of the two foremost soldiers to use as shields.

Qing Chen tried to break through this layer of blockade with speed, but the stairway was filled with people, at least a hundred soldiers advancing one after another.

The soldiers behind saw the soldiers in front held as shields by Qing Chen and mercilessly shot through their comrades trying to kill Qing Chen or at least leave him injured.

In an instant, the two shield soldiers, still alive, were riddled into sieves, and blood stained the entire safe passage red.

Even with Qing Chen's current level, he had to retreat before this indiscriminate gunfire.

If another second passed, the Jindai soldiers would shoot through the two shields.

Moreover, Qing Chen keenly noticed several Genetic Warriors of undetermined strength lurking among them.

He abandoned the shields and retreated upstairs.

Qing Chen pondered, the Garrison Forces of Jindai in City 22 only had 2200 personnel in total, with others stationed in barracks outside the city.

Logically, 2200 people could not form such a dense blockade.

Therefore, Jindai Yunhe must have long activated field troops from outside the city to increase manpower.

He wanted revenge, and they sought payback for severed limbs!

Qing Chen used his speed to quickly ascend four floors, arriving at the elevator, seeing it rapidly rising, filled with Jindai soldiers.

He forcibly pried open the elevator door with his bare hands, infused Knight Vital Energy into his Puppet to cut the elevator ropes.

Loud metallic scraping sounds echoed from the elevator shaft, but the elevator carriage only dropped two floors before the brakes stopped it completely, and the soldiers inside raised their guns to blindly fire through the ceiling, piercing holes in the top of the elevator.

Qing Chen couldn't help but laugh bitterly; now every exit of this building was blocked by Garrison Forces.

He was trapped, like being stranded on an island awaiting tides.

Qing Chen smiled and turned to run toward the rooftop.

Now, everyone thought he was fighting a desperate battle.

...

...

Black Swan Restaurant entrance.

The A-class shikigami stirred the air currents, Xu Linsen repeatedly broke through the shikigami blockade, clashing against the A-class shikigami with sheer brute force, never losing ground.

In no time, every shikigami advancing toward him was fended off like a volleyball, again and again by Xu Linsen.

The battle lasted nearly half an hour, yet no shikigami could harm him.

Jindai Yunlo stood aside, smiling and praising, "Spades A is unparalleled in vigor. Within the seemingly rough inheritance of the Fire Pit, there is a delicate precision in unleashing power. I've truly witnessed it today."

"I've also witnessed Jindai Yunlo's micro-control skills," Xu Linsen sneered.

As he spoke, Xu Linsen broke through the shikigami's defense once more, charging right up to Jindai Yunlo, delivering a thunderous punch.

With a loud boom.

Jindai Yunlo blocked with both arms in front of his chest, driven back over ten meters by the impact, his white boots grinding out a trail of smoke.

Just at the moment of taking the punch, five shikigami surrounded Xu Linsen once again.

Jindai Yunlo smiled, shaking off his numb arms, "If this drags on, I'm really going to die."

He was also a long-famous expert within the Jindai Consortium, having made his name along the same path as Xu Linsen starting from the B-class.

Back when Xu Linsen was B-class, he once faced six B-class Genetic Warriors alone during a Federal Group army patrol, to buy time for the wilderness folks to retreat into Taboo Land, the chase and counter-chase battle lasting six days in the Taboo Land.

All six B-class Genetic Warriors were counter-killed by him.

And Jindai Yunlo's B-class was the same.

Though he possessed only three shikigami at the time, he could utilize them as though they were part of a seamless entity.

If observed closely, each of his shikigami had different moves.

Ma Mian Luo Cha used open and closed sword techniques, the Nine-ringed Blade was powerful and forceful.

The Skeleton Woman employed intricate fencing, executing the thirteen moves of thrust, flick, and slice like flowing clouds and water.

Shiki Hori lurked in the dense fog, waiting for a sneak attack, while Bai Rongyi hovered in the air, occupying the aerial position.

Tian Jingxia, in humanoid form, wielded a katana like a standard Qieshe Yumian Samurai.

All actions of the shikigami are controlled by the Onmyoji, and with Jindai Yunlo himself added, he simultaneously operates six perspectives, which not everyone can do as an Onmyoji.

Once, some Onmyoji barely controlled shikigami, resulting in controlling shikigami and the person being killed, controlling the person and shikigami being killed.

Controlling both, shikigami and person dying together.

Yet Jindai Yunlo applied everything with one mind, as if his consciousness and shikigami were one.

If Xu Linsen was even slightly careless, he would be overwhelmed by the combination of shikigami's techniques.

The battle was like a game between a top player skilled in handling multiple lines simultaneously, and a warrior with explosive damage capacity.

But Jindai Yunlo's mature combat style felt lacking due to the absence of the Hundred-Eyed Demon, reducing the sense of meticulousness.

He refused to use the Hundred-Eyed Demon simply because several pairs of its forty-plus eyes did not come from enemies but from the Jindai Consortium's own people.

It's also because Jindai Yunlo never wanted to release the Hundred-Eyed Demon that Xu Linsen was able to break through the defenses repeatedly, with Jiang Mubei lying in wait on the side, ensuring it wasn't a fair fight.

Jindai Yunlo laughed, "How about ending today's battle here? Although I'm at a disadvantage, you won't be able to kill me anytime soon. After all, this is my Jindai territory, and once the Ten Eunuchs arrive, you'll become their chosen shells. At that point, Xu Linsen, you being impersonated, means Spades as an organization will be doing others a favor. Now that they're chasing the sniper, hurry up and leave."

Xu Linsen's eyes flashed; what Jindai Yunlo said was not without reason.

They came tonight to create chaos, and hastily attempting to kill an A-class was unrealistic.

Generally, when A-class contend against each other, it takes several rounds of combat to reach a conclusion.

However, if they retreated now, Jindai Yunlo shadowing them in combat could pose a huge threat.

He only needed to stall their retreat, and the Jindai Consortium's forces could surround them swiftly.

Yet, at this moment, a graceful silhouette swept close overhead!

Jiang Mubei was instantly thrilled, "Yang Yang!"

At such a critical moment, with a Field System Awakener like Yang Yang arriving, perhaps even Jindai Yunlo could be immediately killed!

The wonder of Field System Awakeners is by no means defined by simple grades!

However... Jiang Mubei waved his hand but found Yang Yang merely glanced at them before continuing to fly west...

The graceful silhouette soon disappeared among the buildings, leaving Jiang Mubei with his raised hand, disorganized in the wind.

What's the situation?

The boss and colleagues are all here, where is she flying to?!

Hmm?

Has she abandoned her own people!

"Hahaha, a member whose elbow bends outward, hahaha!" Jindai Yunlo laughed hysterically, "You better leave, stop thinking about killing me, the Ten Eunuchs are arriving soon."

Xu Linsen gazed deeply at Jindai Yunlo, then turned to leave.

The Onmyoji clad in white hunting clothes folded his hands within his robe sleeves, standing solitary on the long street.

As promised, he didn't pursue.

...

There's only one chapter today, taking a day off.
