Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 421: Chapter 176: Exterminate Bandits in the Mountains!_2

Because this ability was too esoteric, Zhang Beixing couldn’t be sure if it would work as well as before. And since he couldn’t be sure, he naturally had to resort to basic methods: focusing intently on his surroundings, tensing his muscles, always ready to dodge. That way, even if ’Not a Feather Added’ failed, he would still have some resistance and wouldn’t end up as fish on the chopping block!

With such thoughts and preparations, Zhang Beixing walked through the mountains. After about five or six minutes, BUZZ— A roaring sound suddenly exploded in Zhang Beixing’s mind. An intense sense of crisis overwhelmed him. It was exactly the same as when he was in Shishi.

Here it comes! Zhang Beixing knew someone had aimed a gun at him, so he immediately trusted his instincts! He swiftly dodged, his body forcefully fighting against inertia to move in the opposite direction, even as he looked towards the source of the sensation. He saw, thirty meters away behind a tree, a dark gun muzzle peek out from the yellow leaves, aimed directly at him!

BANG!

Having learned his lesson, Zhang Beixing dodged the very instant he sensed danger. The moment he moved aside, WHOOSH— BOOM! The sound of a bullet piercing the air followed. The bullet whizzed past Zhang Beixing’s head and slammed into the large tree behind him, blasting a bowl-sized crater in it!

Indeed! ’Not a Feather Added,’ which prevents even a fly from landing—it truly is standard for a Great Grandmaster! Awesome! Zhang Beixing was somewhat excited. This ability seemed intangible but was actually extremely powerful, as it allowed him to anticipate the enemy’s killing blows.

This commotion immediately alerted the police officers hidden nearby.

”Damn it, we really flushed him out! Get him!” the plainclothes armed police officers growled, drawing their pistols and emerging from the bushes to make the arrest.

Seeing the sudden rustling noises from afar, the shooter was stunned. He clearly hadn’t expected that firing one shot would flush out so many people. He didn’t dare to fight head-on and immediately turned to flee.

Seeing him run, the plainclothes officers chased even more fiercely! Assault with a firearm! This is a first-class merit! If they managed to catch him, this would be their chance to bring great honor to their families!

Zhang Beixing also joined the chase. But he wasn’t after military honors. He was after the kill!

Back in Shishi, when you tried to snipe me, I let it slide because of the distance; there wasn’t much I could do. But now, here in Yingtian Prefecture, in these mountains where sniper rifles are useless, you still dare to attack me with guns. You clearly don’t take me, a Great Grandmaster, seriously at all!

If I don’t settle this score, I won’t be able to sleep soundly in the future. I’ll keep replaying this incident in my mind and wake up frustrated.

Five men charged together. Among them, Zhang Beixing moved the fastest. Over a distance of thirty meters, he covered half of it in just five strides. And this was the speed he unleashed on the rough mountain terrain. If it were flat ground, Zhang Beixing reckoned he could have already executed a slide tackle and closed in on the man.

Seeing their momentum, the shooter quickened his steps even more. At the same time, to stop Zhang Beixing and the plainclothes police from catching up, he also occasionally turned back to fire a couple of wild shots. In response, the plainclothes police were not to be trifled with either, drawing their guns and returning fire.

In that moment, the BANG! BANG! of gunfire and shouts echoed chaotically throughout the forest. However, due to the complex mountain environment, the probability of anyone being hit was practically zero.

During the chase, Zhang Beixing and the policemen got separated! Because that guy was just too damn good at running! Like an eel, he darted erratically, obviously very familiar with the terrain, appearing one moment in the east, the next in the west. His movements were erratic and unpredictable.

But Zhang Beixing wasn’t too worried. Using his astounding hearing, he could faintly make out the noises from afar.

I just need to follow that sound all the way there and...

BUZZ—

Zhang Beixing hadn’t finished thinking when suddenly, a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart! This was the third time, and Zhang Beixing had already developed some muscle memory. Therefore, without any hesitation, almost the instant the sense of crisis arose, he instinctively leaned sideways to dodge!

He saw a bright, copper-colored bullet WHOOSH past, grazing the tip of his nose! He smelled the pervasive scent of gunpowder in the air and felt the slight, lingering warmth on his nose where the bullet had grazed it.

Zhang Beixing followed the direction from which the bullet had been fired and saw a man standing about thirty to forty meters away, a gun in his hand, smoke curling from the muzzle! Clearly, this man was the one who had fired the shot! This was the first time, after being shot at three times, that Zhang Beixing had actually seen the person trying to kill him! He was a man with a classic Middle Eastern face!

The man wasn’t surprised to see Zhang Beixing dodge his bullet. Back in Shishi, he had learned through his accomplices that Zhang Beixing was no ordinary person, possessing incredibly quick reflexes and extensive experience. At the time, they thought he had dodged the shots by sheer luck, but now it seemed he possessed some special ability? Truly incredible!

But that ends now!

You might have dodged my first shot, but can you possibly dodge the next few? Thinking this, the man’s hand was already on the trigger, ready to press down.

Seeing this, Zhang Beixing’s eyes abruptly narrowed. He could clearly see the man’s intent. He understood that if the opponent followed up with a single shot, he had a chance to dodge it with ’Not a Feather Added.’ However, if the opponent’s firepower was too intense, he might struggle to cope. The main thing was he couldn’t afford to gamble. Losing that gamble even once meant it was game over for him.

So, to be safe, Zhang Beixing shouted, ”Go!”

His foot suddenly kicked out. The terrifying force concentrated at his toes, and in an instant, a fist-sized rock by his foot shot out like a cannonball, kicked flying by him. It shot through the leaves and branches, even snapping tree limbs in mid-flight!

Seeing this fierce momentum, the man didn’t dare to resist and quickly stepped aside to dodge the rock kicked by Zhang Beixing. Then, he was about to aim his gun at Zhang Beixing. However, he saw that after this brief delay, Zhang Beixing had already employed Cloud Step. His footsteps were ghostly swift, making his figure elusive and hard to predict.

The Middle Eastern man, who had never witnessed such a display, fired repeatedly.

BANG! BANG! BANG!—

Three bullets were fired.

Zhang Beixing reacted, his figure twisting and turning like an illusion. Relying on his keen perception, Zhang Beixing shifted his position three times without any discernible pattern. Combined with the complex mountain terrain and dense trees, he successfully evaded all three bullets!

One reason was that the gun in the Middle Eastern man’s hand wasn’t very good. It was one he had modified and pieced together himself, which not only had a slow rate of fire but also wasn’t very accurate. Furthermore, pistol accuracy was inherently limited. At a distance of over thirty meters, even a sharpshooter’s effectiveness would be diminished. After all, predicting erratic movements to hit a target was far from simple.

Moreover, Zhang Beixing was not in a normal state. Having already endured two shootings and faced immense life-threatening crises, his potential had been stimulated. His blood was burning, his heartbeat accelerating. A tremendous power enveloped him. He was enhanced from top to bottom, inside and out, in every conceivable way. His movements were light, swift, and powerful, his explosive power terrifying, and even his vision had become incredibly sharp. He even felt as if the world around him had slowed down!

This change in him was due to what netizens jokingly referred to as the ”human body limit unlocker” and ”temporary hack”—adrenaline and ATP! These were each organism’s last resorts, only stimulated in near-death or extreme danger. It’s said that once these two are activated, even if you’re already at King Yan’s door, you can still give King Yan a resounding slap and swagger away!

Even ordinary people could do this, let alone someone like Zhang Beixing, who had already broken through the limits of the human body, and whose stat-point enhancements were comprehensive, covering every aspect without any weaknesses! A physical constitution of 101 and a potential burst also at 101. When these two combined, the result wasn’t a simple additive sum—it was far greater, a multiplicative effect!

As a result, at this moment, Zhang Beixing had directly surpassed current human physical limits!
