Chapter 1247: Blocking Bullets
Everyoneâs eyes were trained on Tsukuyomi. Basically, no one could see the trajectory of the bullet. They could only see the outcome.
Tsukuyomi was still standing there as before. Her figure hadnât moved at all, but her left hand was raised. Her slender middle finger and index finger held a long, sharp bullet. The sides of the bullet were dented by her fingers.
Clang! Tsukuyomi released her finger and allowed the bullet to fall to the ground. Her gaze remained calm as she looked at the door that the bullet came from.
âShe actually caught it!â Everyone was alarmed. After watching the battles for so long, this was the first time they had seen what the bullet looked like.
Although the bullet had already been deformed, one could still roughly tell that it was a bullet made of black metal and there were some strange patterns on its surface.
However, the patterns couldnât be identified due to the bulletâs deformity.
Bang! Bang!
Gunshots sounded one after another. As Tsukuyomi walked towards the door, she gently waved her jade-like palm and bullets were caught between her fingers. In an instant, the first six shots had been fired, but the seventh shot didnât immediately sound.
Tsukuyomi had already walked to the door and extended her palm. Five bullets fell to the ground like the previous bullets.
âToo powerful⊠Professor Gu is right. This fairy is much stronger than Dragon TurtleâŠâ
âSuch a beautiful creature and at the Calamity grade. Do you think a Companion Egg will appear if sheâs killed?â
âIf a Companion Egg appears, Iâll be the first to snatch it.â
âWhat right do you have to snatch it? If anyone wants to snatch it, it can only be Thief Sage and Looter King.â
Zhou Wen wasnât in the mood to read the comments, nor did he want to hear Professor Gu and the hostâs analysis. All his attention was on Tsukuyomi. He was somewhat nervous, unsure if Tsukuyomi could withstand the fatal seventh strike.
No creature had been able to survive the seventh shot to date. Be it Grim Reaper No. 10âwho possessed an undying body and immortality, or the Calamity-grade Dragon Turtle, all of them died when hit.
Tsukuyomi walked to the door and was about to enter when the seventh shot rang.
Upon hearing the gunshot, everyone shuddered before looking at Tsukuyomi.
Some people didnât even dare to look at Tsukuyomi, afraid that they would see her head explode.
Zhou Wen kept staring at her. After the gunshot, he couldnât help but be alarmed when he saw her situation.
Tsukuyomiâs fingers had already clamped onto the seventh bullet, but the bullet didnât lose its strength because of Tsukuyomiâs clamp.
The bullet spun violently between Tsukuyomiâs fingers and rubbed against Tsukuyomiâs Moonlight Force. The head of the bullet lit up due to the excessive heat. From afar, it looked like Tsukuyomiâs fingers were clamping a constantly changing light shuttle.
Her Moonlight Force constantly collided with the bullet, and Tsukuyomi couldnât completely control the bullet, nor could the bullet continue its trajectory.
Clang!
Tsukuyomi raised her fingers slightly and forcefully changed the trajectory of the bullet, allowing it to fly past her.
As it was too fast, most people couldnât see clearly after the bullet left Tsukuyomiâs finger. They thought that Tsukuyomi had successfully blocked the fatal seventh shot.
However, Zhou Wen saw that after the bullet flew over, it circled in the air like a living creature and shot at the back of Tsukuyomiâs head at an even faster speed.
Bang!
Almost at the same time, the eighth shot sounded. Not only did this shot have powerful offensive power, but it also concealed the seventh bullet that had circled back, throwing Tsukuyomi into a pincer attack situation.
Almost at the moment Zhou Wen discovered the turning bullet, he had already used spatial teleportation to arrive on Venus.
Bang! Clang!
After two gunshots, the spectators realized that Tsukuyomiâs fingers had clamped the eighth bullet. And behind Tsukuyomi, an ancient sword blocked the seventh bullet that circled back.
Strangely, when the bullet that could blast apart everything struck the ancient swordâs scabbard, it failed to shatter it. It only sent the ancient sword flying, and the bullet changed its trajectory.
The ancient sword flew out and landed in someoneâs hand. When everyone took a closer look, they realized that the person holding the ancient sword was none other than Looter King.
âHoly sh*t, whatâs that ancient sword in Looter Kingâs hand? It can actually block a Calamity-grade bullet?â
âThatâs not an ordinary bullet, but the sure-kill seventh bullet.â
âCould that be a Calamity-grade sword?â
âThatâs impossible, right?â
âHoly sh*t, what background does Looter King have? He can withstand a Calamity-grade bullet, so why is he looting the spoils of others? Wouldnât it be fine for him to clear the dimensional zone himself?â
Everyone looked at Zhou Wen in surprise. Zhou Wen was also somewhat surprised.
He knew that he couldnât block the bullet, and had originally planned on using a harder piece of equipment to block it for Tsukuyomi.
The so-called blocking was only to stall for time. He didnât expect the sword to really block the bullet. All he needed to do was give Tsukuyomi a little extra time.
However, to his surprise, the Son of Heavenâs Three Swords, which Zhou Wen had treated as a sacrifice, surprisingly didnât shatter. It managed to take on the brunt of the seventh bullet.
Is the Son of Heavenâs Three Swords that hard? Zhou Wen was alarmed and delighted.
Ever since he fused the Son of Heavenâs Three Swords, Zhou Wen hadnât been able to pull it out. He didnât know how to use it, so he hadnât used it. Now, using it as cannon fodder had a miraculous effect.
Tsukuyomi glanced at Zhou Wen and nodded at him with a smile.
Zhou Wen knew that Tsukuyomi had likely recognized him, but in the next second, Tsukuyomi turned around and rushed through the door. She was too fast. Zhou Wen wanted to follow her, but there were already several gunshots inside before it suddenly fell silent.
Zhou Wenâs heart skipped a beat. There was dead silence behind the door. Zhou Wen knew that it was probably too late for him to rush in, but he still wanted to take a look and use teleportation to rush in.
However, there were tunnels that extended in all directions. The six doors were connected. Zhou Wen had also rushed in previously in-game.
However, he was killed not long after charging in. He failed to find the dimensional creature that shot the bullets.
This time, Zhou Wen stuck a Substitute Talisman on himself. If he was shot, he would immediately escape.
However, after he rushed into the tunnel and searched for a while, no one attacked him.
When Zhou Wen passed through the criss-crossing corridors and arrived in front of a metal palace, he realized that Tsukuyomi was standing there. She didnât look injured, but Zhou Wen didnât see the corpse of the dimensional creature.
Just as Zhou Wen was feeling puzzled, the metal palaceâs door opened with a bang, emitting a resplendent glow.
The people on Earth also saw this scene through the Cube. They were as puzzled as Zhou Wen, unsure what had happened.
Zhou Wen retreated into the tunnel, afraid to be illuminated by the light from the palace. As for Tsukuyomi, she stood there without any intention of dodging.
