Chapter 629 - Shoot First, Then Target

Seeing that, Long Fan smiled awkwardly and quickly said, “I’ve heard everything from big brother, okay? I don’t know what’s happening to Long San right now, I’ll go check.”

It slipped away after saying that.

Qiao Zijiang witnessed its departure in anger but she did not make any moves. She appeared to be slightly saddened before she recollected herself.

She still had a long way ahead of her. With her qualifications, she might grow infinitely without an end in sight. Anything could happen.

A battlefield was no place for romance.

She collected her emotions and did what she was supposed to do.

While she was dispatching troops, others did not idle and were already making arrangements according to the most recently rehearsed war strategies.

Qiao Zishan had added a layer of white aura that engulfed everyone. Although he was gone for a year, he could still carry out the feat of placing a “Morality Shelter” on everyone.

The System depended on its abilities, but Qiao Zishan relied on his own comprehension. The effects of their powers might be distinctive in terms of quality, yet they were fundamentally similar.

Qiao Zijiang nodded and said to a young man, “Uncle Cheng, please use your Celestial Gaze to check what’s going on inside the yellow screen.”

The young man nodded and closed his eyes. At the slit between his eyebrows, a blood-red eyeball pushed its way out. It looked extremely horrifying.

A flash of red light shot toward the yellow screen.

After a while, the young man expression changed.

“Uncle Cheng, please share your views.”

The young man nodded again and projected the scene in front of them with a finger.

Everyone including Qiao Zijiang, Qiao Zishan, other members of the team, Zheng Dao’s confidante, Ding Xiang et cetera witnessed the strange scene that unfolded in front of their eyes.

“Do you yield?!” The mini green dragon coiled itself around the Poisonous Rainbow Snake’s body with both his dragon claws on its neck, pushing it on the ground.

Despite sharing the same origins, one should never forget that dragons had claws…

The Poisonous Rainbow Snake was on the verge of death; it no longer had the same pretentious demeanor it displayed in front of Vigilante A just now.

“Damn it, why are you here?!” The Poisonous Rainbow Snake was horrified.

The mini green dragon no longer had the same lethargy from before and looked as grave as a dog that just lost its leg.

After seeing that, Qiao Zijiang could not help but nod. Truly, the turning point between hope and hopelessness depended on one’s enthusiasm.

Others followed suit and nodded as well. They were souls of True Dragon from the Upper Realm after all, impressive in their every attack. At least, others could not figure out the methods used…

…

“Eh, Mr. Rich Boss, I have to give it to you this time. How do you know it’s useful to get Qiao Zijiang and the team here?” The System was pleasantly surprised.

“Haha, haven’t I explained to you before that every existence in the world has its own purpose? Dragons have always been nemeses to snakes, similar to the theory of generation-inhibition,” said Fang Ning gleefully.

“Damn it, I’m a True Dragon too. Why can’t I defeat this poisonous snake?” The System responded in a dismal tone.

Just now as the yellow screen engulfed the square space and sealed off everyone, Vigilante A cast Four Concurrent Dragons in his attempt to capture the Poisonous Rainbow Snake.

However, as the System predicted, it was easier to kill it than to capture it.

This was due to the fact that the Poisonous Rainbow Snake was essentially a soul entity without a physical body.

Fang Ning was extraordinarily lazy and did not train enough to be able to notice the fact. However, in the System’s eyes, it was clear as day.

Therefore, it hid in the tramp’s heart yet the tramp survived.

If the System chose to kill it, then it would be really killed.

The Poisonous Rainbow Snake faced Vigilante A’s Four Concurrent Dragons fearlessly and continued to wander.

To prevent killing it in a single blow, the System could not use drastic skills, therefore, the battle sank into a dire situation.

However, unbeknownst to everyone as to which crevices it wormed in from, Long San rushed toward the Poisonous Rainbow Snake and tackled it to the ground. It did not seem to have used any clever tricks, yet it managed to lock his opponent on the ground simply and neatly.

Currently, Fang Ning could not come up with an explanation for the question that the System posed, so he simply hoodwinked it and said, “Uh, that’s probably because Mister Long San is more experienced. After all, it has lived for ages. Your fifty years worth of work experience still comes up to nothing compared to it.”

“That sounds quite reasonable,” said the System indecisively.

Fang Ning felt helpless. He had hoodwinked the System far too many times that now it no longer chose to believe in itself first…

It definitely deserved the bad karma.

“Long San, ask the snake how it managed to make the bullets weave through the Void and hit the target with unfailing accuracy…” said Vigilante A nonchalantly.

“Spit it out!” demanded Long San to the Poisonous Rainbow Snake after hearing his words.

“Hmmph, are you expecting me to answer you? Ridiculous!” The poisonous snake could not care less.

“How dare you not answer the boss’ question? I’ll make you disappear completely from the world, unable to reincarnate!” Long San’s whole body trembled and its dragon aura exploded all around it.

The Poisonous Rainbow Snake seemed utterly terrified. It hesitated a while before saying, “If I tell you, will you let me go this time?”

“Eh… How dare you bargain?” Long San hissed. It wanted to show its most impressive side in front of the Supreme True Dragon.

Vigilante A replied nonchalantly, “You butchered thousands of innocents, your crimes are unforgivable…”

“If I’ll die no matter what, then what’s the point of me telling you?” The Poisonous Rainbow Snake was surprisingly savage.

“It has a point. I’m actually speechless,” said the System quietly.

“Idiot, didn’t Long San mention all its fears just now?” Fang Ning responded in disbelief. “There are many different kinds of deaths in the world…”

“Oh, right. Some died leaving a legacy; some died leaving nothing but pity.” The System suddenly realized.

“Damn, do you really understand, or are you just pretending to understand?” Fang Ning was confused by the System’s explanation.

“Trust me, I understand it now,” said the System sternly.

After that, Vigilante A said to the Poisonous Rainbow Snake, “If you tell me, I’ll transform you into a treasure; if you don’t, I’ll transform you into a feather.”

Apparently, there was nothing wrong with the System’s understanding.

The snake heard him and hesitated for a while before saying, “The ability was imparted to me by a Heavenly Treasured Child from the Upper Realm to help him eliminate the useless trash that would only waste vitality. He told me, if I want to hit my targets without fail, then I have to shoot first, then lock on the target. He was the one who mastered this technique… Therefore, even if I’ve told you, you won’t be able to learn the ways to do it unless you submit to him. Of course, I suppose he’ll welcome a powerhouse like you very much.”

“Damn it, it’s useless. Let’s just kill it off,” grumbled the System.

“Wait, pass me the body first, I have some questions to ask.” Fang Ning interrupted.

“Alright, let’s put this aside first. Let me ask you, if you were eliminating useless people, won’t others be afraid of you? Because everyone will become expendable one day.”

The question had been in his mind for a long time, but he put off asking because they were still in the middle of a fight. He did not dare to take over due to his lack of confidence to avoid its venom.

Even though Vigilante A’s body was strong, it was not invincible. If even a small amount stained him, it would be troublesome.

The Poisonous Rainbow Snake threw Fang Ning a peculiar glance for a while.

Then it said indifferently, “Do the heaven and earth care about the deaths of humans? Even when facing both natural and man-made disasters, any mortal would panic, cry, and shout. But what good does that bring? They still have to bear with it.”

“And that Heavenly Treasured Child is an existence equal to the heavens and earth. Of course, he would not consider this issue. Those beings, if they don’t want to be eliminated, they have to work harder to prove their usefulness.”

“I understand. Now, to me, you’re useless too…” Vigilante A extended a finger and sent a wave of dragon-shaped Vital Energy.

The Poisonous Rainbow Snake immediately dissipated in the form of a colorful fog.

“You’re a Hero, how dare you lie? You agreed to turn me into a treasure…” A disappointed voice said from the midst of colorful smoke.

“You’re right,” Vigilante A retracted the yellow cloth, raised the two Heavenly Plaques, and said coldly, “I didn’t lie. Now that you’re dead, you’re a part of these two treasures…”

“You did it, Sir, you’re the best…” said Fang Ning in admiration.

“You’re flattering me…” The System said gleefully.
