Hidden moth

Chapter 220: Hidden Moth Spear Challenges Er Xiaoyao
The shuttle came from across the road, and when it passed through the bushes, the branches and leaves it touched were instantly turned into powder.

It was deflected by Zou Tianjin's magic weapon, bent in the air, and like a fish swimming in the water, it changed its angle and shot towards him again... A series of bell sounds could be heard in his spiritual consciousness.

The golden dragon transformed from the Locking Jade Pillar was like a bell that held Zou Tianjin's body in place, and the flying shuttle was like a heavy hammer, repeatedly hitting the golden bell with great speed and force.

In reality, they made no sound; only the shuttles danced in the darkness. The invisible protective shield surrounding Zou Tianjin was struck by the shuttles, emitting faint golden light like ripples.

Zou Tianjin tried to stand up, but the immense force of the blow prevented him from doing so. He already had internal injuries, and now he was forced to interrupt his healing, and he still felt dizzy from the fight.

He had already discovered the attacker's location. The other party's cultivation should not be as good as his. If it were usual, he could use magic to restrain him from a distance or rush over to capture him alive, but now he seemed very passive.

As soon as he thought of this, the golden light surrounding his body suddenly took the shape of a dragon, bit the flying shuttle in the air, and wrapped it around it... Zou Tianjin finally stood up.

He had just taken control of the situation when he felt a sense of alarm. The golden dragon suddenly spat out the shuttle and at the same time waved his hand. A golden light seemed to turn into a cloak, blocking another rain-like attack.

There was actually another assassin lying in ambush in secret. The magic weapon he used was not for single-target attack, but it could shoot out more than a dozen boomerang-like phantoms. The force was not that strong, but it flew up and down, making it hard to defend against.

The two assassins and Zou Tianjin formed an equilateral triangle, more than ten feet apart. The second assassin's boomerangs were clearly intended to contain Zou Tianjin and prevent him from retaliating.

At this time, the shuttle shot out again, releasing powerful impact force again and again.

Zou Tianjin was shocked and sighed. The other party really took him seriously. First, two cars of killers came, and then there was a sixth-level doctor, and there were actually two high-level sorcerers lying in ambush in secret.

Both of these assassins are very tough and work very well together. They must be high-level warlocks.

Zou Tianjin roughly estimated that the shuttle operator's cultivation level was not as high as his, but he should be at least level 5. The other person's cultivation level was slightly lower, but he should also be a level 4 veteran.

It's a huge investment! If Fabre and these two were to die in Chongchuan today, it would be a fatal loss for any organization.

Zou Tianjin's situation was clearly extremely passive, so why did he still think this way? Because he knew that Elder Gu had gone after Fabre, he had full confidence in Elder Gu, so at this moment he chose to hold on as long as possible.

He just had to hold on as long as he could until Elder Gu arrived...

The shuttle was once again bounced off by the protective golden light, but instead of turning around and shooting again, it was suddenly taken back into the assassin's hand, like a folding umbrella opening, turning into the shape of a shield, accompanied by a deafening roar.

Someone had actually fired a shot at him, from just twenty meters away. The gunman had appeared out of nowhere, using a shotgun, commonly known as a slug, which fired a barrage of small, high-velocity steel pellets.

Judging from his figure, the shooter is a man wearing sportswear, the common outfit for night jogging in public parks, but he is definitely not a serious night runner... Who in the East would go out for a run with a spray gun and a mask?

He Kao was now in a double disguise, not only using the Yin'e Veil to transform into another face, but also wearing a mask that could interfere with spiritual consciousness. The mask was taken from Lan Jiuwan, and this trick was also learned from Lan Jiuwan.

The shotgun's magazine was empty, with only one bullet in the chamber. After firing the shot, He Kao didn't care about the gun. He waved his hand and smashed the gun out. Using the method of controlling objects, the gun disintegrated into a pile of parts in the air with a strong wind.

After He Kao broke through the fourth level, he realized how risky he had been, because he had to be very careful when using firearms in front of a high-level warlock, as the other party could use their spiritual sense to detonate the gunpowder in the bullet or cause the gun to explode.

Theoretically, a third-level sorcerer can do this, but it is only theory. The distance that a third-level sorcerer's spiritual consciousness can reach is not very far, and his sensing and control abilities are relatively weak. He cannot complete such precise operations in a fierce battle.

High-level cultivators already have the ability to refine and control weapons. Even if their flesh and blood bodies cannot withstand heavy firearms, they can use their spiritual consciousness to directly tamper with the firearms... It all depends on who has the stronger spiritual consciousness.

At the time, He Kao was only at the third level, but he managed to take down the fourth level cultivator Hu Shulue with two shots from a shotgun. It was a risky move, but also a stroke of luck. Hu Shulue hadn't reacted at all at the time, as he was currently arranging a formation with three other cultivators, holding the Earth Spirit Banner.

He Kao could also choose to protect the gun with his spiritual sense and stand at a relatively far distance. As long as the opponent's spiritual sense was not as strong as his at this distance, he could ensure that the gun would not have any problems... But why bother?
The gun was only a tool to assist in the attack. He was here to protect Zou Tianjin, not the gun. So after appearing, he only fired one shot at the first opportunity, and then threw all the gun parts as weapons.

I don't know the names of those two assassins, so let's just call them the Shuttleman and the Boomerangman.

The shuttler retracted the magic weapon in time and turned it into a shield, blocking He Kao's shooting, but secretly said that it was not good.

Whether shooting or smashing the gun, it did not delay the control of the weapon. He Kao's real target was not the shuttler at all. He suddenly appeared on the side of the shuttler and sacrificed a chess piece while shooting.

The chess piece turned into the size of a millstone in mid-air, flew over the shuttler and smashed into the boomeranger.

The power of a magical weapon, of course, depends on the user's cultivation and mana. In terms of cultivation and mana alone, He Kao might be even less powerful than Boomerang, but the cannonballs are fast and heavy, and no one can withstand them.

The Boomeranger retreated, the cannonball tracing a water-skipping trajectory through the air, still heading towards him. Magical weapon attacks could follow the direction locked onto by spiritual consciousness, making them nearly impossible to dodge.

There are two ways to resolve it. One is to disperse the opponent's consciousness, and the other is to take it head-on.

The boomerang player's dodge was only to buy time. With a wave of his hand, he had already collected all twelve boomerangs. They quickly formed them into a flower disc shape to face the cannonball, and then exploded into a piece of broken light.

The boomerang's attack power is not strong, but it can be split into twelve beams with multiple attack angles, and its sharpness is erratic and difficult to defend against. However, it is not enough to use it to block artillery stones.

Twelve boomerangs shattered on the spot, not because the magic weapon was destroyed, but because the spell controlling it was broken. The boomerang user groaned, but with a surge of consciousness, he finally broke free from the cannonball's lock, turned around, and sped away.

He actually ran away without even looking back!
The reason was simple: in the blink of an eye, the shuttler over there had been captured alive by Zou Tianjin. Leaving him alone to deal with the two over there would be a bit of a death wish, so there was no need to fight any more.

Just as the shuttler retracted his shuttle to block the gunfire, the boomeranger retracted his boomerang to block the cannonballs. Zou Tianjin was decisive, suppressing his injuries and knocking the lock jade pillar out.

The Jade Locking Pillar transformed into a dragon-like golden light, instantly enveloping the shuttler. This device could protect both the self and others, and with a slight modification, it could even lock the opponent.

What Zou Tianjin did was very risky, as it was equivalent to temporarily giving up his own protection.

The shuttler didn't expect that his companion would fail to play a role in restraining the opponent at the critical moment, allowing Zou Tianjin to free up his hands to launch a desperate attack.

A pile of gun parts fell to the ground, and the black shuttle in his hand also fell to the ground. The whole person seemed to have turned into a sculpture, standing there unable to move.

The dragon-like golden light has disappeared. The bracelet that was originally worn on Zou Tianjin's wrist is now worn on the shuttle operator's wrist, locking up his spirit and magic power.

Zou Tianjin walked over with his hands covering his Tan Zhong, coughing as he walked.

The mysterious masked man, He Kao, had already retracted the chess-piece-shaped magic weapon. Without saying hello to Zou Tianjin, he turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Outside Haitang Park, across the road is a commercial street with many long storefronts and signs of Haitang Comprehensive Market hanging outside.

The market was only crowded on weekends; business wasn't particularly brisk on weekdays, and even at night, it was deserted, with even the streetlights off. The mysterious man slipped in, and within seconds, another deafening gunshot rang out from another direction in the distance. ...

The boomeranger dodged the artillery attack in a somewhat embarrassed manner, only to find that his companion had been captured alive by Zou Tianjin on the spot. He turned around and ran away without even looking back.

The trick for a warlock to escape is to get rid of the opponent's spiritual lock.

Therefore, not only must speed be high, but the terrain and environment must be fully utilized. In fact, the chaotic crowds are the greatest interference to spiritual consciousness, but there is obviously no large crowd gathering here at this time.

The undulating terrain also provides a good shielding effect. The complex buildings blocking the view will also greatly shorten the detection range of the spiritual sense...

Of course, the Boomerang Man ran in a direction away from Zou Tianjin and others. He turned around and went into an alley outside the farmers' market. He wanted to get out of the possible range of the opponent's spiritual sense as soon as possible.

As he turned around, he saw a man standing at the other end of the alley, holding what looked like a gun. Then there was a flash of fire. When he heard a loud bang, his chest was already covered in blood and flesh, and he fell backwards.
It was the mysterious masked man from before. He seemed to be able to teleport and appeared in a place that the Angel of the Moon could not even imagine. He shot the Angel of the Moon without hesitation, and the Angel of the Moon did not even have time to use his magic weapon to resist.

He Kao still used a shotgun, and there was still only one bullet in the chamber. What was fired was not a handful of small steel balls, but a single-headed bullet with great impact.

The bullet went through the chest and shattered the chest of the Boomerang Man.

This person was definitely dead, but He Kao was not careless. He put away his gun and slowly approached to make sure that the other person was completely dead.

At that moment, he heard sirens in the distance, and a thought from Gu Chun. Elder Gu told him to take the assassin's weapon but leave the body behind. He also arranged to meet in Chongchuan the next morning and to contact them later about the specific location.

……

Gu Chun dropped from the sky and landed beside Zou Tianjin. He nodded and said, "Not bad, you actually caught someone alive... Your injuries are quite serious."

Zou Tianjin: "It's okay... Where's Fabre?"

Gu Chun: "It's a pity that I didn't kill him. He escaped. But his injuries are much more serious than yours. Even with a high level of cultivation, it will take him at least a year or two to recover."

Zou Tianjin: "I fought with him. He is most likely a sixth-level physician, and is best at healing."

Gu Chun: "I'm referring to the situation of a sixth-level physician. If it were another warlock, it would take more than a year or two to recover, and he might even die from his injuries!"

Zou Tianjin: "Did you arrange for that masked man just now?"

Gu Chun shook his head and said, "It wasn't arranged by me. It seems like he was just passing by and took the initiative to show up and take action to save you... You looked like you were about to collapse just now."

Zou Tianjin: "Then he, like you, is my savior."

Gu Chun said with a half-smile, "Actually, even if he didn't make a move, you wouldn't be in trouble, right?"

This is the truth. Although the two assassins cooperated well and launched sharp attacks, the best opportunity was the moment when the shuttle launched a sneak attack. However, Zou Tianjin did not relax his vigilance while healing his injuries.

When Gu Chun appeared, he had already reminded him that Fabre might have his men here to support him.

In the following scene, Zou Tianjin seemed passive, but Suo Yuzhu was well protected and he was not completely powerless to fight back. However, if he suddenly counterattacked, his injuries would inevitably be aggravated, which would be tantamount to risking his life.

That is a measure that would only be used in desperate situations, but it had not happened just now. He believed that Gu Chun would definitely come back, and Gu Chun did come back.

The mysterious man's help allowed Zou Tianjin to seize the opportunity and decisively captured the shuttler alive.

Zou Tianjin said solemnly at this moment: "That was also a life-saving grace!" Then he said doubtfully, "I subdued this assassin, and it was too late to chase the other assassin.

As a result, the masked man seemed to be able to teleport, inexplicably blocking the assassin's path, catching a high-level monk off guard and killing him with a bullet to the chest..."

Gu Chun: "What are you thinking about? Just tell me."

Zou Tianjin: "Could it be that—he is the legendary hidden moth?"

Gu Chun: "It's been more than a day or two since the Hidden Moth reappeared in the world."

Zou Tianjin: "Why did he save me?"

Gu Chun: "Because it's not you who deserves to die. If you can, why don't you save him?"

Zou Tianjin: "Luckily, Master Geomancer is here today, otherwise I would be in great danger... Why are you here?"

In fact, he had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he didn't ask it until now. When facing Fabre just now, Zou Tianjin didn't know that Gu Chun was watching him from the sky.

Gu Chun: "The police will be here soon. Let's take this person away first and talk somewhere else... Is there a convenient place?"

Zou Tianjin: "Let's go to my house."

Gu Chun picked up the shuttle, waved his hand to collect the scattered items on the ground, and quickly disappeared into the night with Zou Tianjin. After a while, a police car drove up with its lights flashing.

Police had just arrived at Haitang Park and found two burning cars. Before they could figure out what was going on, they heard two loud noises in the distance.

The sound sounded like an explosion. If it was a gunshot, it should not be an ordinary pistol or rifle.

The situation at the scene was no longer something that ordinary patrol officers could handle. The first police officer to arrive immediately called for reinforcements. If someone really had a high-powered firearm, the police would be in a very dangerous situation, but a police car still rushed over to check.

He Kao could have taken the Boomeranger's body away, but Gu Chun allowed him to stay. While ordinary police officers lack the extraordinary abilities of sorcerers, they should never underestimate the power of the Eastern Police, especially with the help of modern technology.

As long as the boomerang man left any traces in the official surveillance of the East Country, the police would be able to find him if they wanted to, including his identity registration information, entry and exit records, where he had visited, and what he had eaten for every meal...

If he is from the East, then his family background, archives, resume, and social connections can also be found. At that time, the clan law hall will try to obtain the police investigation materials, which can also be regarded as leverage.

As for the clan hall, they had captured a ready-made living person for interrogation.
