Chapter 535 Kill One by One
“You guys have been talking there for a long time. Are we going to attack him?” said the burly man with the chainsaw impatiently. “This guy is so arrogant. Let me try to fight him first!”
Before his two companions could answer him, he had already taken a big step, hastily moving toward Zhang Heng. His allies knew all too well about his temper, and after hearing his heated tone, they didn’t stop him.
“Just don’t destroy him. I still have questions I want to ask,” continued the man who spoke with Zhang Heng.
“Then you probably won’t have a chance to ask him any questions later. I had a hard time keeping my target alive using my fighting style.” The burly man grinned menacingly, and at the same time, flicked the switch on the handle. His chainsaw was not plugged into a power source, its cable still dragging on the ground. Strangely, the phantom of a machine buzzed to life a few moments later.
The piercing whine of the machine broke the silence of the night. Without saying anything, the man lifted the chainsaw and swung it upon Zhang Heng’s head! Not only would his skull be shattered, but there was a good chance, Zhang Heng would be split into two! Zhang Heng had no intention to block the man, stepping back to dodge the attack. In the end, the chainsaw landed on the floor, causing a massive cloud of sparks to fly around and grinding a cavity a few centimeters deep into the rock-solid concrete.
“Don’t worry. You’ll have your turn soon.” The burly man laughed wildly and raised the chainsaw again.
It seemed like the reaction did not affect him when the chainsaw created an impact on the ground. Even when the chainsaw landed on the ground, the man remained expressionless, still holding the saw firmly in his hands. Then, with a loud have, he struck the saw at Zhang Heng’s head again. To avoid the weapon’s full brunt, Zhang Heng had to dodge also, missing the spinning blades by a couple of millimeters. Even worse was that Zhang Heng was already at the very edge of the rooftop, his foot now halfway off the ground.
Knowing how close he was to certain death, he took a step back, and now, there was only a fist-wide space between him and the busy road beneath. This building he chose as a sniper nest was fifteen stories high. If he fell from this height, there was no way he would survive the fall.
A beam of joy flashed in the eyes of the burly man. He foresaw that Zhang Heng would either stumble and fall from the tall building or split into two by his chainsaw. Once again, he decisively lifted the saw and exclaimed with excitement, “I dare you to be as arrogant as you did now~!”
However, the chainsaw missed its target, and Zhang Heng, against all odds, had seemingly disappeared into thin air!
The burly man did a double-take, sticking his head out to look down the building. Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind him. “Are you looking for me?”
He quickly turned around, and, lo and behold, Zhang Heng had already snuck up from behind.
The burly man’s companions stared at each other, unable to believe what they just witnessed. As bystanders, they began to realize what had just taken place. Zhang Heng did jump down from the building, but as he fell, he grabbed the edge of the rooftop only in time to swing his body, creating enough force to bring himself back to a safe spot. His movements were lighting quick, abandoning the opportunity for escape. If Zhang Heng took this opportunity to strike, the strong man with a chainsaw would be really displeased. The man with shadow wings behind him said, “The game is over. Let’s take him down together. This guy is tough to deal with!” Zhang Heng’s reaction had made him more cautious, prompting him to spread his wings on his back. And the person who messed with Zhang Heng’s rifle earlier also took out a deck of playing cards from his pocket.
What they didn’t expect was the rooftop’s ground suddenly turning into a pool of flowing black liquid! The strong man with the chainsaw fell directly into an office below him. Zhang Heng fell with him as well, and the person who messed with Zhang Heng’s rifle fell in the bathroom next door.
The man with shadowy wings escaped because he could fly, but his face could only change when something struck his mind. He charged down from the sky; the pool of black liquid had coagulated back into the reinforced concrete ground. The flyer was caught off guard, crashing into the ground and hitting his head so hard he almost fainted.
(Name: Evil Wall]
[Grade: D]
(Function: Reconstruct the structure of a wall. User is allowed to the state of a wall from solid to liquid. Remaining uses: 0]
Since the three of them came on the rooftop together, Zhang Heng had been waiting for the opportunity to separate them. In a way, the man who messed with Zhang Heng’s rifle said the right things. Arc of Light specially formed this squad to deal with him, and since one of them could render a gun useless, Zhang Heng could only resort to close-quarters combat. The strong man with a chainsaw existed solely for a situation like this. His formidable weapon and great strength were suitable for frontal combat. The flyer, on the other hand, had better dexterity to make up for his speed. In other words, the three of them complimented each other perfectly. It was true how Zhang Heng didn’t have many opportunities to defeat them all at once.
However, things changed when they were separated.
Zhang Heng deliberately retreated to the side of the platform. Although the strong man with the chainsaw was highly offensive, it easy for Zhang Heng to dodge those attacks with the training he had from the Black Sail quest. Unfortunately, there were still enemies watching the battle. Zhang Heng needed to look for the perfect timing even if he wanted to take out the Evil Wall from his pocket to use it.
The half-second he had when he fell from the roof was the only time for him to disappear from sight. Now that one enemy was outside the building, and another fell into the bathroom next door, they were officially separated from each other.
So, Zhang Heng only needed to deal with the strong man with a chainsaw. However, he did not have much time left. The enemy in the toilet would break the door in around two minutes, and the guy with wings should also find a window to enter the building. Hence, he needed to defeat the enemy in front of him as fast as possible.
The strong man with the chainsaw got up from the ground and found that his allies were gone. He wasn’t afraid but rejoiced instead. Immediately, he picked up the chainsaw on the ground and snorted coldly, “You can only dodge my attack. There’s nowhere for you to hide this time!”
Zhang Heng did not reply to him. Instead, he drew out two Nepalese swords from his backpack. Since Scarlet’s negotiations were not concluded, he had to buy these to deal with his enemies tonight. He ordered it from Miss Bartender together with the CS5, and although the sabers weren’t game items by any means, they should suffice for tonight’s situation.
