Chapter 131: Sneak Attack

  Lorin's body was motionless, his eyes fixed on the ground, staring at the silver-plated revolver. The style of this revolver was very unusual, not the ordinary revolver that people usually think of, it was probably specially treated, at least when Lorin heard the gunshot and saw the tree trunk suddenly explode with a large hole earlier, he knew the power of this revolver, and its ferocity! Otherwise, the python would not have kicked the silver-plated revolver out of Long Er's hand in the first place.

  At this time, Long Er and Shan Mao were holding back the python, so Lorrin's presence was relatively weak. Even if he made a slight movement, even if they noticed it, they couldn't pose much of a threat to him due to being distracted.

  Looking at the pistol on the ground, Loring's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his breathing rhythm gradually condensing to a critical point. Some actions were performed in sync with the frequency of his breaths, and the Tai Chi he practiced emphasized that every move was connected to the flow of air around him. At this moment, he saw that Long Er and Shan Mao were already clearly at a disadvantage, if they continued to stalemate, the python would definitely wipe them out!

  Unfortunately, Lorraine had never killed anyone. However, he had held a gun before; in his previous life as the second son of a wealthy family, he had once gone to a shooting club, and although the custom-made handgun he was holding now was different from the guns he played with at the shooting club back then, they should be similar.

  "Plop!"

  A terrifying flesh sound, the mountain cat suddenly pounced forward, blocking in front of Long'er, and took a knife for her. This knife cut open his entire back, and a burst of blood suddenly splashed out, filling the dark moonlight with a bloody smell.

  "No time for hesitation!"

  Lorraine steeled herself, picked up the silver-plated revolver from the ground, and quietly raised it to her eyes. Her sharp eyes narrowed slightly as she took precise aim. Meanwhile, the python, which had been separated from the mountain cat's injured arm, was momentarily stunned, its fluid movements interrupted by a brief pause.

  "It's now!"

  No longer hesitant, Lorraine ruthlessly pulled the trigger, and with a "whoosh" of the silenced bullet, the linear explosive shot towards the python's direction at supersonic speed!! In the darkness, the bullet's sharp flight speed rubbed against the condensed air, producing a dazzling spark!

  “？！！！！！——”

  At this moment, the mountain cat, dragon son and python were all shocked at the same time. They turned their heads to look in the direction of the straight-line bullet shot, and when they saw the figure hidden in the darkness, the dragon son immediately showed a surprised and joyful expression on his face. The python's body suddenly stopped, and he felt a chill of horror in his heart, not because of anything else, but because he had seen that the trajectory of the bullet was aimed at himself!!

  He didn't even have time to see Lorrine's appearance clearly, and his body subconsciously retreated to the side! The speed of the bullet is extremely fast, and even if the snake is very powerful, it is impossible to dodge the bullet without prior preparation. So now he is desperately dodging, actually just to avoid a fatal attack. Originally, the bullet that could have hit the heart position, after slightly moving his body, can be shot elsewhere, as long as it doesn't kill him in one shot, there is still room for maneuver!

  As assassins, they had long since put life and death outside their consideration, always making psychological preparations for death, but often their survival ability was the highest. As long as they had a breath left, they could live well, even if they were seriously injured!

  At this time, the mountain cat, which was very close to the python, clearly saw the trajectory of the straight-line explosive attack. Seeing that the python wanted to dodge the fatal attack, it exerted its whole body's energy and suddenly shook its body, then rushed towards the python to block its dodging movement.

  A critical moment, a fleeting opportunity!

  Just as the mountain cat had barely blocked the python's evasive movement, the linear explosive shell that broke through the air exploded with a terrifying muffled sound between the two, and the next second was a brutal scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere!

  The mountain cat and the python didn't even have a chance to let out a muffled hum before they were blown apart by the explosive shell, their flesh and blood splattering everywhere. The mountain cat's and python's respective arms were severed and flew off in all directions, taking with them half of their waists and abdomens, which were also blown into the air. In an instant, the two were transformed into incomplete, bloody human figures, tracing a miserable arc in mid-air before crashing to the ground.

  "Mountain Cat!" Long Er saw Mountain Cat being blown away and his heart skipped a beat. Although they hadn't known each other for long, they were partners in the same organization. He quickly rushed over and found that Mountain Cat was already lying on the ground, convulsing all over, with half of his body mangled.

  "It's done......" I don't know if it was an illusion, but after a cold and detached withdrawal, the mountain cat suddenly had a hint of a smile at the corner of its mouth. This was an expression that the usually stern mountain cat had never shown before. At this moment, Long'er couldn't describe what she felt in her heart. As for the profession of being an assassin, from a young age, Long'er had always clearly understood that life and death were predetermined by fate, so it was best to be indifferent. Despite having such a mindset, seeing the mountain cat in such a miserable state still made her furrow her brow tightly.

  The faint arc at the corner of Shan Mao's mouth, this hint of a smile, was an omen of his return to the light. Long Er knew he was about to pass on, so he reached out and gently stroked Shan Mao's face with his palm as it gradually stiffened. The next second, Shan Mao permanently closed his once sharp eyes.

  Life is unpredictable, and fate is often treacherous.

  Lorin saw the dragon getting up slowly from beside the dead mountain cat in the distance, and he let out a sigh of relief. He turned to look at the other side, where the powerful python was also killed by the explosion, its body blown apart like the mountain cat's, with one arm and a chunk of waist flesh torn off.

  The python is dead, but the mountain cat has fulfilled its mission; even in death, it has completed its task.

  But Long'er didn't die, and Luo Lin also completed his task. The current Long'er, due to the battle, is now covered in scars all over his body. Now he's not a match for Luo Lin, so if he wants to leave now, Long'er can't stop him.

  Let's go.

  Luo Lin thought to himself, earlier in the darkness, plus the urgent situation, so he guessed that Long Er should not have seen his appearance, right? He'd better withdraw quickly! As long as Long Er didn't die, it was fine, he didn't want to get deeply entangled in an unclear whirlpool.

  He wiped the silver-plated revolver he had just held with a white handkerchief from his pocket, and then slowly arched back, ready to hide and leave.

  At the same time, Long'er was already quickly walking towards herself, with severe injuries on her body, fresh blood seeping out, a pair of black eyes that shone like the night sky, flickering and uncertain, even a bit dazed. She thought back to the moment when she had almost been killed earlier, and the familiar black figure that had appeared in front of her eyes, thinking that it was he who had saved her life, and thus felt a strange sensation rising up. The cooperation between Shan Mao and herself was due to their positions and mission, but if it really was Luo Lin who had rushed over to save her, then she couldn't help but feel moved. Long'er was an assassin, but not a killing machine, with as much human emotion as others, only deeply buried in her heart.

  As Lorraine was about to leave, Long'er finally couldn't help but murmur in a slightly dazed tone: "Is it you?"

  "Is that you?... Lorraine?" She called out the name of Lorraine tentatively, a pair of bewildered eyes staring in the direction where Lorraine had just hidden herself in the darkness.

  At this time, Lorraine slowly turned around, furrowed her brow and thought to herself: "Killer girl, it's not that I don't want to greet you, but the situation is special now. We'll meet again during the day when we have a chance."

  Luoluo knew that the task executed by Long'er today must be of a high level, unlike other Tiānyǎn organization's peripheral bounty tasks. This should be an internal high-level task. Luoluo didn't want to expose his identity in this muddy water, so, among the Thirty-six Stratagems, retreat was the best option!

  "Hoo-hoo——" A rustling sound of wind blowing through the grass.

  Lorraine was just about to make a quick escape when he suddenly stopped, and a faint sense of unease rose up in his heart. With his extremely keen sense of hearing, he was very sensitive to the wind and air around him, and it seemed that in the previous instant, he had sensed a slight discordant movement.

  Almost subconsciously, Lorrin turned his head and glanced uneasily at the direction behind Long'er's back. At this moment, he was shocked to discover that the python had not died yet!!! Not only that, but with its remaining arm, it actually propped up its body halfway, then pulled out a palm-sized small dagger, and in the flash of cold light, it threw it at Long'er with a sudden toss!!!

  "Danger!!"

  At this time, Lorraine couldn't hold back anymore, and suddenly jumped out, then flew towards Long'er, rolled over in the momentum, and the two of them hugged together. Because Long'er's whole body was covered with blood, so Lorraine also stained a red dress at this time. Due to blocking this blow for Long'er, Lorraine's movements were slightly slower, and when she landed, she still couldn't avoid being stabbed by that short dagger. "Puchi!" A sound of flesh, Lorraine's shoulder was hit.

  "Ah..." Lorrin's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he put down Long'er. He then pounced on the python that had not yet died, without even having time to pull out the short dagger from his shoulder. Instead, he picked up a short knife from the ground and stabbed it fiercely into the python's heart!!!

  The python let out a dull hum and died completely.

  Lorin looked at the similarly limb-deficient python and suddenly realized that the explosion of the linear bomb earlier was between him and the mountain cat, both of whom had been blown off half their bodies. The difference was that the mountain cat's left side was blown to pieces, while the python's right side was blown to pieces. Although the extent of the injury was the same, the heart is located on the left side of the chest cavity, so the python, whose right side was blown to pieces, did not die as quickly.

  "Whoosh!!"

  Lorin gritted his teeth and pulled out the short dagger from his shoulder, blood splashing everywhere. Fortunately, the dagger didn't have a dull blade, it was just sharper than usual, so he could stop the bleeding with a simple bandage. Luckily, he wasn't hit by the python's serrated conical steel knife, otherwise his situation would be dire.

  Just as I was about to get up and walk towards the dragon, who seemed to have fainted, I suddenly heard a faint "thud". Then, from the torn clothes of the python, a small black square package about the size of a palm fell out.
