Chapter 228

Gu Ding was slightly taken aback when Lilliath suggested that she be the main attacker.

Ever since Biggie joined the team, Lilliath had withdrawn from the team's main combat effectiveness and rarely participated in battles. Gu Ding knew that she had evolved to a Rank-9 Gene Body and that her basic combat effectiveness was stronger than his, but no matter how high her combat effectiveness was, it was unlikely that she would surpass him. Therefore, when she suggested attacking, Gu Ding thought he had heard wrong.

However, Gu Ding reacted quickly and nodded his head. Although he did not know what Lilliath had up her sleeve, since she said so, she should have some confidence.

A gunner was different from many other combat professions. Most combat professions' combat effectiveness was closely related to their gene level. However, a gunner's true combat effectiveness had little to do with their gene level. Whether a gunner could cause damage to the enemy depended on several factors:

First, the gunner had to be able to capture the opponent's movement. It could be eyesight, hearing, or even smell. It could also be an excellent sixth sense. However, the most important thing was to be able to accurately judge the opponent's movement path. If the gunner could not even capture the opponent's movement, the chances of winning were not very high.

Second, the bullet's power was enough to break through the opponent's defense. In fact, there were two requirements here. One was that the gunner's Righteous Force could break through the opponent's Righteous Force defense, and the other was that the bullet must be able to cause damage to the target's body. Only when both requirements were met could the gunner really cause damage to the opponent.

Third, the accuracy of the shot. The ability to capture the opponent's movement did not necessarily mean that one was a good gunner even if one had good equipment. A good gunner must be able to hit the opponent. If one could not only hit the opponent but also hit any part of the opponent that one wanted, one would be a truly excellent gunner.

Of course, there were many other factors, such as the gunner's movement skills, the type of firearms and bullets, and so on.

However, none of this was a problem for Liliath. She was an excellent gunner. If she wanted to defeat a Rank-13 opponent, all she needed was a powerful gun and a bullet with enough penetrating power.

These two things happened to be what Lilliath had.

Although Robert did not have enough materials to upgrade Liliath's Bronze Grade Combat Armor to Silver Grade, based on his understanding of firearms, he had specially designed several different gun structures for Liliath's Firearm Combat Armor. Some of them could increase the rate of fire to the extreme, while others could increase the attack power to the extreme. Lily's long-barreled sniper rifle was designed to increase the attack power to the extreme.

In addition, Robert used the shells of the shrieking clam to make the shell, and had a unique threaded drill structure.

No one knew how powerful the combination of guns and bullets would be.

The muzzle of the rifle was locked onto the head of the bodyguard in black. The bodyguard in black ignored her gun threat. As far as he was concerned, gun-type attacks would not be able to break through the Righteous Energy defense on the surface of his body without sufficient Origin Power.

He gave up on Lilliath and turned to chase after Gu Ding.

His idea was simple because the young master had given him a mission to get Gu Ding to attend his rites of passage. Capturing Liliath was also to coerce Gu Ding into attending his rites of passage. In that case, it would make more sense for him to capture Gu Ding instead of Lilliath.

Although Gu Ding was not as fast as his opponent, fortunately, Ultimate Arts' Silent Step was an extremely exquisite set of footwork. Apart from Gu Ding himself, no one else could predict where his steps would land. Therefore, Gu Ding was always able to resolve crises in time and avoid his opponent's attacks.

Lilliath, on the other hand, stood where she was with the muzzle of her rifle locked onto the bodyguard in black, waiting for the opportunity to attack.

Sensing that Lilliath was ready, Gu Ding suddenly stopped in his tracks. He crossed his arms in front of his chest to block the opponent's hammer-like punch.

Although Gu Ding was sent flying and his body was affected by the impact, it also caused his opponent's movements to stagnate for a moment due to the recoil.

Lilliath did not let go of the opportunity created by Gu Ding. She locked onto the opponent's brain and pressed the trigger hard. As the bullet flew out, a black flame attached to the surface of the bullet, making the original silver bullet invisible. Even the airflow caused by the bullet's high-speed rotation was completely concealed.

That black flame was the ability she had inherited from her father — Purgatory Flame. This flame contained the attribute of death. As long as one was touched by it, their cells would instantly age and die. This was also the first time she had used this ability in combat since her ability was awakened.

When the first shot was fired, Lilliath did not take any chances and just gave up. Instead, she adjusted the direction of the muzzle and fired three shots in a row, completely locking down the opponent's movement to dodge.

The bodyguard in black frowned slightly. He also realized that Gu Ding had deliberately stopped in his tracks just to give him an opening so that Lilliath could shoot. With his combat experience, he immediately realized that Lilliath's attack might not be as simple as he thought. He wanted to dodge, but he found that all his routes of action were blocked. In desperation, he chose to raise his hand to block the bullet that was headed for his head.

At that moment, the bullet that was wrapped in black flame tore through his Righteous Force without any suspense and penetrated his palm. Cold sweat broke out on his back when he saw that his palm had been easily penetrated by the bullet. However, the bullet continued to fly toward his head without slowing down. He immediately raised the palm of his other hand to block it again. This time, his Righteous Force was easily torn apart. The bullet embedded itself in his palm but did not penetrate it.

He raised his head and looked in the direction where Lilliath was. He was a little shocked. If he had not blocked the bullet in time, he would have been a corpse by now.

Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly saw that on both of his palms, a black flame had started to quickly spread from the wounds to his entire palms. Then, it continued to climb up his arms. The scariest thing was that he did not feel any pain at all.

He frantically hit the ground with both hands, trying to put out the flame. However, the black flame did not weaken at all. Instead, it burned more and more vigorously.

In less than two minutes, the bodyguard in black completely stopped struggling. His body was like a carbonized black sculpture as he stood there motionless.

At that moment, Bregen had just escaped from the warehouse in a sorry state. The other bodyguard in black chased after him as well.

A gentle breeze blew past and the carbonized bodyguard's body completely disintegrated, turning into a pile of black charcoal dust. Not even his bones were left behind.

The scene was witnessed by the two men who were chasing after him. Both of them stopped in their tracks and looked at Gu Ding and Lilliath with some fear.

Directly turning a person into a pile of powder, this kind of ability was undoubtedly terrifying, and also shocking to the heart.

In fact, even Gu Ding was a little shocked when he saw the scene. Although he knew that Lilliath had awakened a strange ability after her last treatment, he did not expect it to be such a terrifying ability.

Even Lilliath herself did not know that the effect of this trick would be so good. She had never tried it on a living thing before. This was the first time.

"It's none of my business. Their young master ordered them to do this! I'm just working for the money. " Bregen immediately pointed the finger at the bodyguard in black. "Besides, I'm a victim just like you guys. Look, not only did they refuse to pay, they even tried to silence me. "

As Bregen spoke, he turned around and ran away.

Gu Ding and Lilliath were not fast enough and could not catch up to him, so they could only let him be.

The remaining bodyguard in black saw that the situation was not good and was about to escape in another direction. However, he heard Lilliath's voice from behind him.

"If you choose to escape, you'll meet the same fate as your partner." Lilliath had been on high alert ever since the guy had escaped. She had raised her gun and aimed it at him immediately.

Hearing this, the bodyguard in black stopped in his tracks. He stretched out his hands and turned around. Seeing that Lilliath's gun was aimed at him, he suspected that the gun in Lilliath's hand was a demigod item. Otherwise, it would not have been able to cause such a terrifying effect of burning a person into ashes. But even if he didn't dare to, he didn't dare to make any rash attempts.

At that moment, Biggie and Robert finally arrived at the scene.

Robert was carrying a person on his shoulder. It was Bregen who had escaped earlier.

"I bumped into this guy on the way here, so I grabbed him. He's the guy who kidnapped Lili, right? " Biggie asked uncertainly. Although he had seen Bregen's photo, he was still a little worried that he had caught the wrong person.

"That's right, it's him. He escaped earlier and we couldn't catch up with him." She was a little angry when she thought about how Bregen had called her flat-chested and had even commented on her height. "Luckily, you guys arrived in time."

"Tie them up and bring them back for interrogation. Although I have a rough idea of why they kidnapped Lili, there are still some details that I need to confirm, "Gu Ding said as he pointed at the warehouse. "There's another guy in there. I don't know if he's dead or alive. Bring him along!"

Robert immediately took out his self-made anti-magic handcuffs and cuffed both of them before walking into the warehouse. After a while, Tricke was dragged out with a dispirited look on his face.

"Let's go back to the spaceship!" Gu Ding looked at the three people he had captured, but his mood did not improve.
