Chapter 274 The Terrifying Pistol Man and a Second Dragon Breath Bullet
whoosh-

Wang Xi transformed into a streak of dark light, soaring through the skies above the Eastern Continent.

He has already reviewed the intelligence information for this operation.

"...Fu Xinyi, the current 'Haicheng Taiyu · Baiguhou', 33 years old, female. She became a professional warrior at the age of 23, and after ten years of experience, she is currently ranked 62nd on the 'Shan Hai List'."

"Hmm..." Wang Xi hesitated for a moment.

"White Bone Marquis" is quite powerful, and it should be said that the "Grand Commander" who can serve as the capital of Haicheng in the Eastern Continent is also quite powerful.

Her ranking shows that she belongs to the top "Tae-ryu" category.

Even so, they were still locked in a stalemate with the "King" type disaster core on the East Coast for two days.

"...Temporarily named 'Ghostly Cluster,' this disaster core originates from the Diamond 2 dungeon 'Joyful Cinema,' a supernatural tale. Its energy level is a high 73, classifying it as an orange-level 'Sudden Cataclysm.' Its form is a fleshy mass composed of dozens of intertwined human limbs. It moves extremely fast, has no obvious weaknesses, and possesses an absurdly high level of self-healing ability, making it impossible to destroy using conventional methods."

"Furthermore, the 'abnormal mass' possesses strong phagocytic and growth potential, rapidly increasing in strength by consuming human bodies. Theoretically, it can grow indefinitely, posing an immense threat and causing immense destruction."

Wang Xi narrowed his eyes: "A growth-type individual with strong self-healing abilities?"

He's not afraid of these kinds of opponents at all.

Putting aside the fact that "Incurable Burn (Mark)" is a hard counter, with Wang Xi's explosive power and ability to control the field, he would never give the opponent a chance to "develop".

He could have just kicked him to death.

After reading the intelligence, Wang Xi was quite surprised by the information on the "List of Mountains and Seas". He did not expect the current situation to be so severe - from the 50th place upwards, they were all "Disaster Hunters".

Moreover, many of those 50 titles belong to people who have died in the line of duty or retired from service.

Only about 30 active "Disaster Hunters" remain.

This shows how fierce the battle was.

It's no wonder that Principal Zhang and the four deans, among other high-ranking officials of the Kunwu Camp, had high hopes for Wang Xi.

The Mountain and Sea Federation is desperately lacking in high-end combat power.

After upgrading "A Bountiful Harvest in the Human World" to the highest star level, my current strength rating has reached the "Grandmaster" ceiling, with a five-star gold-framed title.

Wang Xi thought.

'This rescue operation should go smoothly.'

The potential of the card "Human Joy and Abundance" is comparable to that of "Ancient Dragon Lord," both being seven-star cards.

It consumed a full 5700 experience points of his.

The current status of the resource library is as follows:

Energy: 44660

Experience: 42487

Among the three enhancement branches, Wang Xi chose the mark called "Panlong Dojo".

It is equivalent to an advanced version of "Ink Heaven Seal" and "Capture the Universe", possessing a super-wide defensive capability.

Protecting an area within several kilometers is a piece of cake.

At the same time, combining the characteristics of the two main battle cards, "Human World's Joyful Year" and "Ancient Dragon True Lord", Wang Xi had a flash of inspiration on the giant silver shuttle that came to the Eastern Continent and came up with a brilliant idea.

This is a good opportunity to test it out.

...

...

Dongzhou.

It is located more than 100 kilometers east of the capital city of Haicheng.

The east coastline resembles a ravaged wreck; the once bustling docks, winding road network, and scattered buildings have long since been reduced to ruins by the erosion of time and disasters.

Wild grasses grow rampant, and the rusty steel skeleton pierces the gloomy sky, silently telling the story of the collapse of civilization.

At the edge of this desolate landscape, several nautical miles from the coastline, stands a solitary island. Small in size and rugged with jagged rocks, it has now become the heart of the battlefield.

Fu Xinyi is doing everything in her power to firmly pin the terrifying disaster core, codenamed "Abnormal Group," to this isolated island.

call--

She flashed and hovered above the island.

Fu Xinyi's temples were slightly damp, and a few strands of hair clung to her pale cheeks, which were pale from exhaustion. A suit of armor made of stark white bones covered her exquisite body, and a blood-red cloak fluttered behind her.

"The mortal body will eventually decay, but the bones will never perish... Only by kneeling before the eternal white can one see eternity!"

She chanted softly, one hand pointing downwards, as the power of her conviction flowed continuously into the island below.

Rumbling--

The loud noises continued incessantly.

The entire island has been transformed into a jungle of white bones and sharp thorns.

Countless thick, sharp bone spikes broke through the soil, forming a stark white cage spanning hundreds of meters in diameter.

Inside the "cage," a twisted ball of flesh darted about at supersonic speed, crashing and making loud noises.

Each collision was accompanied by the shattering of large bone spikes and the sweeping up of dust, with the island trembling slightly in the shockwave.

Fu Xinyi pursed her lips tightly, her eyes deep and unfathomable.

She continued to control the Bone Prison to trap the "abnormal group," and each regeneration and reinforcement of the bone spurs consumed enormous energy and mental effort.

"If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for much longer..."

Fu Xinyi sighed inwardly.

At this moment.

Several kilometers off the isolated island, a fleet of several steel warships stood ready on the sea. High in the sky, several armed helicopters painted with the insignia of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics circled overhead, while high-precision detectors transmitted real-time footage of the fierce battle on the island to the flagship's command center.

The atmosphere on the flagship's spacious deck was heavy and oppressive.

A vice president of the Haicheng Warriors Association frowned as he stared intently at the tactics screen, surrounded by several senior warriors.

Their mission was not to directly participate in the battle, but to maintain communication and monitor the battlefield situation... After all, in the face of a disaster core of this level, rash intervention would be tantamount to suicide.

Suddenly, the vice president in the lead looked up.

His face lit up with joy, and he quickly picked up his communication device, excitedly saying:

"Lord Fu Xinyi, good news! The reinforcements sent by 'Weitai' have arrived! Signals show that they are approaching at an extremely fast speed!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xinyi's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. She exhaled, her voice slightly hoarse:
"……receive."

The support from Weitai has finally arrived!
Hope ignited in her heart.

This "abnormal mass" is like an immortal, indestructible piece of chewing gum. The opponent's own power is not enough to threaten her, but no matter how hard she tries, she can never completely eliminate it.

Neither physical methods like piercing, cutting, or applying heavy pressure, nor elemental magic or mystical spells, nor even her most proficient bone miracles, worked.

The "abnormal mass" has an unreasonable self-healing ability that seems to have no limits. Every time it breaks, it can instantly reassemble itself, and it can even restore itself to its original state as long as there is a little bit of flesh left.

In order to stop it from rampaging through the densely populated sea city, devouring living people and expanding infinitely, Fu Xinyi had no choice but to forcibly expel it to this deserted island at sea, doing everything in his power to trap it and delay the arrival of reinforcements.

Fortunately, it arrived.

Bang! !

at this time.

Another loud bang rang out.

In the central area of ​​the island, a huge gap was forcibly carved out of the dense, intertwined jungle of bony spikes.

A nauseatingly large figure soared into the sky!

The scene was clearly captured in the fleet's surveillance footage. The shape of the "grotesque mass" was enough to drive any sane person insane—dozens or even hundreds of twisted, swollen human limbs of various skin colors were intertwined and bound together in a brutal and chaotic manner to form a fleshy mass with a diameter of three meters.

It constantly emits mental pollution that is invisible to the naked eye; anyone who gets within 100 meters will collapse on the spot, even if they are a high-ranking warrior.

Fu Xinyi's pupils contracted.

With a flick of her left hand, she manipulated the regeneration of the bone forest, while with her right hand, she grasped a strangely shaped longsword made of bone, its entire body resembling the spine of a fish.

whoosh-

Her graceful figure transformed into a streak of scarlet light, intercepting the attack head-on.

Clang!
Tsk! !
The sword light flashed like a bolt of lightning, instantly slicing dozens of times across the "abnormal group," and severed limbs rained down from the sky.

However, the severed flesh and blood rolled back in mid-air and reformed.

In the blink of an eye, the lump of flesh returned to normal.

puff--

The mass of flesh suddenly split open with countless cracks, and hundreds of severed fingers shot towards Fu Xinyi with a shrill whistling sound!

The scarlet cloak behind Fu Xinyi suddenly swelled up, wrapping her up completely as if it were a living thing.

Puff puff puff——

The dense impact sounds were like hail hitting a drum.

Fortunately, the cloak was exceptionally sturdy and blocked the attack, but the enormous impact still sent her flying until she crashed into the cold sea, splashing high into the air.

Fu Xinyi stood on the water, a trace of crimson stain on her lips, her eyes filled with exhaustion.

hum! !

At that moment, in the fleet command center, the energy readings on the monitoring instruments suddenly spiked to an astonishing peak.

The point of light representing strong support almost transformed into a streak of dark lightning that pierced the sky and sea on the monitoring screen.

"Here it comes! So fast!"

The vice president of the Haicheng Brave Association exclaimed in shock.

From receiving the signal to arriving at the battlefield, only a few minutes had passed!
Fu Xinyi, standing on the sea, suddenly looked up.

Her gaze swept past the rolling waves and locked onto a figure that had silently appeared on the surface of the sea not far from her side.

The newcomer was an extremely young man, dressed in black casual wear, standing upright on the waves.

Wang Xi smiled and gestured to the woman clad in white bone armor. Through Caius's detection, he saw the words appearing above her head:

"Haicheng Taiyu · Baiguhou · Fu Xinyi (Friendly/Title 4-Star/Legendary)"

Four-star gold-framed title.

not bad……

"Fu Taiyu." Wang Xi nodded slightly, his voice steady, as if to greet him.

Fu Xinyi nodded and quickly replied, "Thank you for your help!"

Her gaze quickly swept over the other person's excessively young face, and a hint of surprise flashed through her mind.

This is too young!

At just over twenty years old, how could Weitai entrust him with such an important task?
"What's the situation?" Wang Xi asked succinctly, his gaze already fixed on the massive mass of flesh writhing wildly on the distant sea, attempting to crash against the shoreline once more.

The entry then appears in view:

"Disaster Core: Shadow of Horror: The Abnormal Group (Nemesis/Title 4-Star/Hero)"

Fu Xinyi spoke very quickly, with a solemn tone:

"I have tried many methods, but none of them can completely eliminate it. I can only confine it here to prevent it from landing and growing indefinitely... Its current target must be the coastline."

Wang Xi listened quietly and nodded: "I understand."

His tone was indifferent, as if he were not facing a terrifying disaster core that left even a "Taiyu" level expert helpless, but rather an unpleasant piece of trash.

Under Fu Xinyi's astonished gaze, Wang Xi slowly raised his right hand.

A slight ripple appeared in the space, and a simple, black revolver with a cold metallic sheen appeared out of thin air in his palm.

——"Chekhov's Gun"

Upon seeing the young man take out a revolver, Fu Xinyi immediately understood his intention and warned him in a deep voice:
"It is extremely fast and difficult to aim at."

“Fu Taiyu, don’t worry,” Wang Xi said with a smile. “I’m very good at shooting handguns.”

"???"

A strange look flashed in Fu Xinyi's eyes.

This kid...

Just as Wang Xi raised "Chekhov's Gun," its muzzle locked onto the twisted mass of flesh a kilometer away.

Fu Xinyi trembled violently.

Her hair stood on end.

She suddenly sensed an indescribable, terrifying aura emanating from the young man. Fu Xinyi subconsciously glanced at him.

A golden, burning crown appeared out of thin air above the youth's head. As his hair fluttered, his originally deep and calm eyes transformed into a pair of golden vertical pupils in an instant!
boom!
Suddenly, a phantom of a golden ancient dragon appeared in Fu Xinyi's mind.

She instantly understood the source of the youth's strength—

Fairy tale system!

And it possesses a core mark of purple or higher!

Click...

At the same time, the cylinder of the black revolver began to spin.

Six bullets made of golden starlight suddenly shone brightly in the magazine—this was formed by Wang Xi infusing the power of the "Ancient Dragon True Lord".

It can be seen as a highly compressed "Ancient Dragon's Breath"!
True Dragon's Breath Bullet!

"Xiao——"

The moment the gun was locked on, "The Abnormal Group" seemed to sense the deadly threat, letting out a shriek mixed with countless wails, and its speed suddenly exploded.

The enormous mass of flesh plunged headlong into the shallow sea, whipping up waves as it relentlessly surged toward the beach. There lay the land, the land of its coveted "food."

"It wants to land!" Fu Xinyi frowned and warned, about to intercept it.

Wang Xi simply said, "Don't worry, it can't escape..."

Before he finished speaking, his index finger had already pulled the trigger.

click!
At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Fu Xinyi's pupils suddenly contracted.

She clearly saw that behind the young man, the shadowy figure of a strange middle-aged man had appeared at some point.

The male silhouette wore a well-tailored retro black suit and gold-rimmed monocles, exuding a melancholic air.

He raised his hand, pointing in the direction Wang Xi had raised his gun, at the frantically fleeing "abnormal group," and smiled as he murmured:

"A deformed body is a festering shell, and pain is its only language. I will take up my gun as my pen and write the prescription of cause and effect on the lesions."

"And amidst the smoke of battle... we will eradicate this stubborn disease."

Boom——

The sound of gunfire was deafening.

A burst of dazzling golden sparks erupted from the muzzle of the gun.

A terrifying explosion occurred in the sea area where the "abnormal group" was located, a kilometer away!
Golden flames shone brightly!

That space seemed to have been struck hard by an invisible giant hammer, and the seawater within a diameter of tens of meters was instantly displaced and vaporized!
A huge bowl-shaped crater appeared out of nowhere!

The "abnormal mass" at the core of the pit was carbonized, pulverized, and reduced to ashes in a golden flame bright enough to burn the retina!
Boom! !

The shockwave, carrying hot steam and charred debris, spread rapidly in a ring.

"A sure-hit shot?!" Fu Xinyi was stunned.

With her sharp eyesight, she naturally recognized the characteristics of the black revolver in Wang Xi's hand.

The power of that shot far exceeded her expectations.

Fu Xinyi put herself in that situation and suddenly realized...

She wasn't entirely confident she'd survive that shot!

In the blink of an eye, the giant crater that had been created on the sea surface was quickly filled in by the floodwaters. Countless charred fragments of debris floated in the rolling waves, attracting each other like magnets and converging back towards the center.

"Still not working..." Fu Xinyi's heart sank. "Even such a bombardment can't kill it?"

However, the next second, her eyes widened suddenly.

Golden flames still lingered on the charred chunks of flesh that were coalescing. Instead of healing and growing during the coalescing process, the chunks of flesh rapidly charred.

The self-healing process... was forcibly interrupted!
It was as if an absolute force had forbidden the concept of "regeneration"!
"This is... forbidden treatment?!"

Fu Xinyi turned her head and looked at the young man in disbelief.

Will be in!

Golden Flame!

Treatment is prohibited!

Triple characteristics combined into one shot!
Wang Xi met her shocked gaze and simply smiled slightly.

— "Sacred Surgery (Branding)" "Incurable Burning (Branding)"!
The combination of true damage and healing reduction, along with the terrifying dragon breath burst from the "Ancient Dragon Lord," achieves perfect counter-effect against monsters.

"Ugh!!"

A painful hiss came from the depths of the charred, less than one-fifth of the mass of flesh that had reassembled.

The sea surface was like a boiling oil pan, experiencing a violent series of explosions, with huge columns of water shooting into the sky.

Boom!

Rumble!
The monitoring instruments on the fleet sounded alarms and the energy level fluctuation curves on the display spiked, startling everyone in the command room, who turned pale.

The "Oddity Group" is still alive and attempting a counterattack.

Wang Xi shook his head and pulled the trigger again.

boom! ! !
A second golden fan-shaped spark flashed by.

The barely condensed mass of flesh was once again precisely detonated!

A golden pillar of fire, even more intense than before, shot into the sky, piercing straight into the clouds. Vast amounts of seawater were instantly evaporated, transforming into a scorching mist that filled the heavens and earth!
boom! boom! !

Immediately following were the third and fourth shots fired without pause.

Golden light descended again and again, tearing apart the struggling "grotesque mass".

Each explosion further disintegrated its remains.

Its struggles grew weaker and weaker, its roars turning into intermittent whimpers. The speed of its convergence was firmly suppressed by the power of the brand, while the dragon's breath, like a persistent, insidious infection, relentlessly burned it away.

The tenacity of the "abnormal cluster" indeed exceeded Wang Xi's expectations.

It actually withstood four shots, dragging its shrunken body, now less than a tenth of its original size, and staggered onto the coastline, its body ablaze with golden flames.

boom!
The charred mass of flesh crashed heavily onto the beach, leaving a trail of burnt remains.

"That's it."

Wang Xi held up his gun and pulled the trigger for the fifth time.

boom! ! !
The beach looked as if it had been struck by an invisible meteorite.

A huge crater formed instantly.

Golden flames erupted from the bottom of the pit, completely vaporizing everything inside. The shockwave from the explosion, carrying dark red magma and fire waves, spread outwards in a circle, instantly engulfing everything within a radius of a hundred meters.

Several huge rocks on the shore shattered and melted under the high temperature, and even the seawater in the distance was stirred back by this terrifying energy!

There was no more sound from within the flames.

"..."

Fu Xinyi stood there, stunned, staring blankly at the beach.

ended?
That terrifying core that she fought for two days and two nights, exhausting all her strength, yet she couldn't fundamentally damage...

He was wiped out by the young man with five shots from a revolver?!
Fu Xinyi felt that her understanding had been refreshed.

"Hiss...hoo."

She took a deep breath, and the cold, salty air calmed her wildly beating heart.

Suppressing his turbulent thoughts, Fu Xinyi solemnly addressed the young man, "Thank you for your assistance! On behalf of the million people of Haicheng, Fu Xinyi expresses his gratitude!"

She sheathed the white bone sword and performed a ritualistic bow reminiscent of the mountains and seas.

"Fu Taiyu, there's no need for that."

Wang Xi retracted "Chekhov's Spear," and the phantom image of Dr. Anton behind him had already vanished. Long Wei and the golden vertical pupils also disappeared, returning to their normal appearance.

He smiled and said, "It's my duty."

now.

After a brief silence, deafening cheers erupted from the distant fleet!

On the monitoring instruments, the energy level reaction of the "abnormal cluster" has completely returned to zero.

The mountain that had been weighing on everyone's hearts finally collapsed.

The vice president excitedly babbled into the communicator, "It's solved! Mr. Wang solved the disaster core! Five shots! He only used five shots..."

...

...

Wang Xi and Fu Xinyi boarded the ship one after the other.

After a brief rest and disinfection process, the two sat facing each other in the lounge next to the bridge.

Fu Xinyi had taken the recovery potion and her complexion had improved considerably, but the shock in her eyes had not yet subsided.

"We haven't officially met yet," Fu Xinyi said, breaking the silence. "Fu Xinyi."

"The current Grand Marshal of Haicheng, titled 'Marquis of White Bones.' May I ask who you are...?"

“Wang Xi.” Wang Xi’s words were concise and to the point.

“Wang…Xi?” Fu Xinyi was somewhat puzzled, because this name didn’t seem to be on the “List of Names of Mountains and Seas” at all. “With your strength, what position do you hold in Weitai? Are you representing…”

"Fu Taiyu has misunderstood. I am currently just a student in the Kunwu Camp."

Wang Xi picked up the water glass brought by the waiter, took a sip, shook his head and smiled.

"...Students?!"

Fu Xinyi's hand, holding the cup, froze in mid-air.

She naturally knew about Kunwu Camp, the Federation's top-tier talent cultivation base. But the young man before her could resolve the disaster core she was helpless against with just five shots…

Is this something a student could actually do?!
Even a mentor wouldn't do that!
In an instant, a guess flashed through her mind.

There is only one possibility that "Weitai" only sent one Kunwu Battalion cadet to the rescue.

Her expression turned extremely serious, and she tentatively asked, "Mr. Wang, have you come here today... perhaps for the 'Preparatory Disaster Hunt' assessment?"

Wang Xi glanced at her, did not deny it, but simply nodded slightly.

Fu Xinyi had no more doubts, only deep admiration.

"Preparing for Disaster Hunting"...

No wonder.

Given this young man's abilities, it's probably not a problem.

Just then, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open. The vice president of the Haicheng Brave Association, without even having time to apologize, hurriedly reported, "Lord Fu! Mr. Wang! Urgent intelligence!"

"Just ten minutes ago, the Overhead Bureau detected a brand-new energy level reaction, exceeding 70! This time, it has descended upon the Crescent Bay commercial district within Haicheng City, initially classified as an orange 'Sudden Disaster'... The specific type and source of the disaster are still under analysis!"

The atmosphere in the lounge froze.

Fu Xinyi suddenly stood up, her pretty brows slightly furrowed.

The "Snow Ghost Tide" in the northwest outside the city is still raging. Just after this "abnormal group" was wiped out, an orange catastrophe broke out in the city.
The situation is no different from adding insult to injury.

"Fu Taiyu, I'll go."

Wang Xi put down his water glass and stood up.

"You're familiar with the 'Snow Ghost Tide' outside the city; it's more suitable for you to handle it. Leave the new catastrophe inside the city to me."

Fu Xinyi didn't stand on ceremony and nodded: "Alright, then I'll leave it to Mr. Wang! Please be careful!"

Wang Xi nodded slightly in response.

His gaze swept over the vice president and other high-ranking members of the Brave Association who had rushed over upon hearing the news, as well as the superior heroes.

When everyone met his gaze, they all felt a chill run down their spines, instinctively straightening their backs, their eyes filled with awe and hope.

Wang Xi said no more, his figure transformed into a streak of dark light, instantly piercing through the observation window of the bridge and disappearing into the horizon in the direction of Haicheng.

"Everyone is returning as planned, but Mr. Wang and I will go ahead."

Fu Xinyi also took a deep breath, her scarlet cloak fluttered, and she transformed into a long rainbow, rushing straight towards the Northwest battlefield.

The remaining people all had the same thought flash through their minds—Haicheng's dual crisis had met with the sharpest spearhead to break the deadlock.
