The continuous sound of gunfire echoed down the corridor, "Bang, bang, bang, bang."
The three bodyguards assigned to protect George Osborne were horrified to discover that the terrifying creature, which had previously been cautious of bullets, was now charging at them as if it had taken a stimulant. Given its speed and the bizarre trajectory of its movements, hitting it was already a daunting task.
In this narrow space with limited room for evasion, even their combined skills could not achieve a hit rate above thirty percent. Now, the few bullets that had managed to find their mark were absorbed by the creature's vital areas without any sign of damage.
Although blood splattered and flesh was torn, the creature's speed showed no signs of diminishing, indicating that it was not significantly affected.
With a soft "thud," distinct from the .45 caliber shots, the horrifying being paused momentarily. When it moved again, its agility seemed to have been impacted.
Another "thud" sounded, this time directly fired into its mouth. If it hadn't turned its head quickly, the bullet might have penetrated straight through its skull instead of merely grazing its cheek.
After suffering two consecutive hits, the monstrous humanoid began to exercise caution. It preferred to endure several hits from larger caliber firearms rather than allow that .54 caliber pistol to strike its vital areas.
Even though it had started to take the situation more seriously, Yang Xiaoyou's next six shots still inflicted severe damage. Although her firing rate was somewhat slower, the results surpassed those of the others combined; its resilient tongue was nearly shot into two pieces.
Two bullets pierced through its cheek, and one nearly penetrated its throat. Although it did not directly hit its brain or spine, the creature's movements began to slow down, indicating that it had sustained injuries. However, the last three shots missed their mark as it closed in on them; its arm movements couldn't keep up with its leaping agility and only struck non-vital areas.
Moreover, with other injuries inflicted on its arms, thighs, and torso, by the time it reached everyone, its speed and agility had decreased by more than half. Its body was riddled with bullet holes and scars, blood pooling around it in a gruesome display.
Despite this, when it finally stood before them, a sinister grin appeared on its disfigured face. The expressions of everyone else turned grave.
"Now's our chance! Hold it back!" Liu Lianyue shouted as she hurled her empty pistol at the creature. Without hesitation, she grabbed two anti-explosive batons and lunged forward to protect her arm.
At the same time, perhaps influenced by Yang Xiaoyou's shocking shooting skills, the three bodyguards who had previously shown little interest in him rushed forward without hesitation, each drawing a military combat knife.
After the four of them lunged forward, Yang Xiaoyou discarded his empty handgun and drew the two pistols he had picked up at his waist, crossing them in front of him. He closed his eyes, entering the ethereal state that Professor Feng Lin had taught him.
"Hey, don't you like chaos? Don't you enjoy being impulsive? Don't you crave bloodshed? Then come out!" The dark red killing intent began to surge violently, spreading into the previously shadowy corners.
With this killing intent as a catalyst, it seemed that Yang Xiaoyou's other persona from his memories began to resonate and synchronize with his body in a wondrous way.
Huang Jing, who had been on guard against Yang Xiaoyou from behind, sensed a rising threat emanating from him and felt an ominous premonition. At that moment, Yang Xiaoyou exuded an aura more frenzied than his own bloodthirst.
Immediately, Huang Jing broke free from his cautious stance. He took a stab to the neck from a knife but retaliated with his battered left hand, swinging with all his might at Liu Lianyue, the one posing the greatest threat and possessing blocking capabilities.
Seeing the sudden shift from cautious defense to a furious attack, Liu Lianyue could only barely cross her arms defensively with her anti-explosive baton raised in front of her.
Although she managed to block the attack, she was sent flying back, crashing hard against the wall. The force of the impact caused her to cough up blood, leaving her weakened and unable to continue fighting.
Her three subordinates, who had been unable to assist earlier, rushed over desperately to help her up.
Having successfully taken down Liu Lianyue, Huang Jing paid a price for it; he had knives embedded in his shoulder and chest, and he was struck hard in the head by the Black Captain.
After landing that blow, Huang Jing's nearly severed tongue shot out and pierced through the Black Bodyguard's calf. With a swift motion, he wrapped it around and bit down hard on half of it.
The broken bone was clearly visible at the severed leg of the Black Bodyguard, along with shredded tendons that looked horrifying. Blood gushed out uncontrollably due to the complete severing of the leg.
However, after enduring continuous attacks, Huang Jing found himself unable to pursue the Black Bodyguard after this counterattack. The bodyguard leaped away on one leg while the bodyguard captain decisively endured the pain and used his knife to completely sever his own leg at the knee.
If it was just a bite and not a complete severing, the speed of blood circulation would likely make it impossible to stop the spread of the virus in time.
However, since it was a complete severing, the blood gushing from the leg significantly reduced the chances of infection.
"Get the person away from here." At that moment, Yang Xiaoyou, who had been disconnected until now, finally came online. His tone was extremely flat, devoid of any emotion.
If one listened closely, they would notice that his spoken English was much more fluent than at the beginning, even surpassing Liu Lianyue by a few degrees.
At the same time, the eyes beneath Yang Xiaoyou's helmet had turned a ruby-like color. However, unlike the bright intensity from before when he was filled with fervor, his red pupils now appeared somewhat dim and unfocused, giving off a sense of brokenness.
Before his words could fade, Yang Xiaoyou raised both hands and aimed at Huang Jing in front of him to shoot.
In such close proximity, hitting a fast-moving target was exponentially more difficult than at a distance. Yet Yang Xiaoyou still chose to use a handgun, albeit with an oddly held grip.
"Close-quarters combat pistol technique." The injured Black Bodyguard, struggling to bandage his wound while unable to completely stop the bleeding, fought through dizziness from blood loss and focused intently on the battlefield. Upon seeing Yang Xiaoyou's grip and footwork, his pupils constricted in disbelief.
A handgun is widely recognized as easy to learn but hard to master. Close-quarters combat pistol techniques are an extremely rare skill that combines peak handgun usage with combat techniques. Mastering this requires immense effort, time, and natural talent.
For seasoned soldiers, within just a few steps, a dagger is far more effective than a firearm.
The timing of pulling the trigger, chambering rounds, evading attacks while launching counterattacks, and keeping pace with an opponent's speed—all these factors make this technique quite obscure.
It’s possible that after ten years of practicing close-quarters combat pistol techniques, one’s effectiveness in close combat might only match that of someone who has trained for two or three years with a dagger. Moreover, it would produce noticeable sounds that make it less advantageous.
However, if someone could master this skill all the way through Aspects, their combat ability would be extraordinarily terrifying. They could easily eliminate multiple opponents armed with daggers up close while also facing those wielding firearms from a distance.
In the world of mercenaries and bodyguards, anyone who masters this skill is bound to gain significant notoriety. While it may seem useless in a simple group battlefield, the combat between teams is undoubtedly at a dominating level.
The person before him, whom he had initially looked down upon as a lunatic, was now displaying such skills. And perhaps it was not just his imagination; the bodyguard leader felt an unusually dangerous aura emanating from Yang Xiaoyou, even more so than from that terrifying monster. The stark contrast and the dizziness from blood loss made him feel as if he were dreaming.
With a tilt of his head, as the half-ruined tongue brushed against his helmet, Yang Xiaoyou skillfully turned and fired, completely severing that annoying tongue, which then flew away.
The handgun itself was compact, but the direction it aimed at extended the attack range to its utmost limit.
After shifting his foot in an arc, he naturally evaded the fierce swipe of the opponent's claws while simultaneously altering the angle of his other hand to shoot into the opponent's armpit.
In terms of speed, Yang Xiaoyou was far behind Huang Jing, yet he always managed to dodge his opponent's fierce attacks with the most efficient movements. Several strikes passed closely by him, and his hands continuously added new bullet holes to the opponent's body.
Upon closer observation, one would notice that Yang Xiaoyou was almost always circling around Huang Jing, trying to avoid a direct speed contest in a straight line.
His skilled and rhythmically beautiful movement techniques showcased an astonishing sense of timing that transformed killing into an art form. The four onlookers with keen eyes were left dumbfounded; it was hard to imagine someone possessing such inhuman skills. This could no longer be described merely as technique; it was nothing short of miraculous.
Until a loud 'bang' echoed as a bullet shot off the opponent's ear, continuing its momentum to hit the wall near George Osborne. It was only then that the other two relatively uninjured fellows reacted; one covered George while the other helped their legless captain towards the door that Yang Xiaoyou had opened.
If they were hit by a stray bullet, it would truly be unfortunate. Meanwhile, three members of the Common Unity Party followed Liu Lianyue closely behind.
