Duǎn Chén had no desire to strike up a conversation.
His eyes were filled with coldness, his brows and eyes held a hint of the netherworld.
The myriad phenomena of the netherworld could even encapsulate his current state.
Pandora in his hand had already transformed into its suitable form.
The gun's muzzle, black and empty, pointed at Qín Wújí, who stood in the center with a face contorted in anger.
Upon seeing the dark muzzle aimed at him, Qín Wújí's expression grew even more disdainful. The corners of his mouth curled up into a cold sneer filled with contempt.
He spoke.
"Don't think that just because you're holding a broken gun, I'll be afraid of you. If you have the guts, just shoot."
Duǎn Chén didn't even flinch. He directly pressed the trigger, and a dark bullet shot out from the muzzle, carrying explosive power and a scorching heat, piercing directly towards Qín Wújí's brow.
However, Qín Wújí's pupils merely constricted slightly, and then he didn't even move his body.
But it wasn't because he was stunned by fear. The bullet, upon reaching Qín Wújí, abruptly froze as if time and space had been completely halted.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see a necklace on Qín Wújí's neck, emitting a faint glow.
Seeing this, Qín Wújí's pupils slowly returned to normal. He adopted an even more arrogant and condescending demeanor, pointing fingers and commanding.
"Heh, do you think this broken gun of yours can kill me? The items I carry are worth countless times more than everything you own combined!"
At this sight.
Duǎn Chén said not a word more. Bang, bang, bang, he fired three shots in quick succession. His fingers pulled the trigger, and three bullets shot out, each one striking the previous spot.
His arm was incredibly steady, not even shifting during the shooting.
Three shots fired consecutively, hitting the bullseye.
The light from the necklace on Qín Wújí's neck intensified.
He felt a hint of panic, but then a shield-like object materialized in front of him. The first bullet had already been violently embedded within it, even protruding a sharp point.
This proximity to death made Qín Wújí dare not act recklessly anymore. He quickly and clumsily activated his other defensive items.
Then, Qín Wújí retreated two steps, glaring hatefully at Duǎn Chén, who stood by the window, his feet surrounded by flowing blood.
Qín Wújí's eyes were red with hatred.
"Good, very good. You almost wasted one of my protective items. I will make you understand what a price is!"
Duǎn Chén's companions behind him, including Jūn Cì, had also reacted by then. They all scrambled through the hole, forming a six-against-four situation.
Seeing this, Qín Wújí slightly restrained his arrogant demeanor. But recalling the immense wealth they possessed, his expression remained unchanged, his attitude still haughty.
Looking at his demeanor was enough to make one feel disgusted.
Duǎn Chén fired a few more shots, but unfortunately, as each bullet neared their faces, it was blocked by their defensive items.
He was forced to retract his handgun, looking at them with cold eyes.
Qín Wújí and his group began to tremble. Perhaps feeling that their defensive items made them fearless, they continued to act recklessly.
He was particularly arrogant.
"If you have the guts, come and fight me!"
"I didn't expect you to actually have the brains to figure out that we were the ones manipulating things from behind the scenes. It's a shame your brains aren't used for anything useful. You figured it out, and yet you confronted us directly."
Qín Wújí flashed a malicious grin.
"It's too late to realize it now."
After saying this, a mobile phone appeared in his hand.
It was clear that this phone was taken from his storage space.
Since it was taken from storage, it meant it couldn't be snatched. If one tried to snatch it, he would have enough time to quickly put the phone back into his storage space.
To obtain his storage space, one could only choose to kill him.
But to kill him, one would first have to destroy all the items on his person.
This was an extremely difficult task.
Duǎn Chén and the others clearly understood this, and their expressions turned extremely grim.
He took a breath.
The spiritual energy within him continuously accumulated and gathered in his hand. Pandora's gun form was summoned again.
Upon seeing this gun, Qín Wújí became exceptionally wary, as it was this very gun that had almost breached his shield earlier.
However, in the next moment, Qín Wújí relaxed his guard.
After all, he remembered that this gun hadn't managed to break his shield, and he wasn't just equipped with one defensive item.
He swaggered and directly took out his phone to make a call.
Duǎn Chén's intuition told him that he absolutely could not let him make this call, otherwise, they would face major problems.
He made a decisive move.
"Don't just stand there, what are you waiting for? Grab the phone!"
Jūn Cì nodded and immediately reacted.
Yuán Yuǎn's arm injury had healed. At this moment, he was providing sniper support from a distance.
He hadn't entered with them but had remained outside, his sniper rifle ready. He communicated with the others via telepathy.
Relatively speaking, his mission was more critical.
Not only did he have to keep an eye on the people he saw through his rifle's scope, but he also had to be aware of any strange animals or peculiar staff in blue uniforms appearing around him.
However, among them, he was the only one with the skill to use a sniper rifle, making him the one who had to bear the brunt of the work.
Duǎn Chén racked his brains, contemplating what could be done to break the deadlock.
Soon, he had an idea.
Duǎn Chén lunged forward. His body surged forward, but his direction was not directly at Qín Wújí, but towards Qín Wújí's flank.
Qín Wújí himself didn't expect to be charged at like this.
They weren't prepared for close combat, as they believed that with so many defensive items on each person, anyone with a shred of sense wouldn't engage them head-on.
However, Duǎn Chén charging straight at them was something no one had anticipated.
Duǎn Chén's eyes seemed to gleam with light.
He took a deep breath and gripped Pandora's gun form.
The moment he charged forward, Pandora transformed into its shield form.
And then...
A fierce impact!
Qín Wújí had absolutely no anticipation of such an event, and he was sent flying.
