Chapter 27 Cobra

After Xu Mo came to his senses, the two of them started running crazily. The group of people behind them immediately gave chase.

There were many outlaws in the black market’s gambling den, and they were all lunatics who valued money over their lives.

The two of them quickly darted into the black market’s streets. Seeing many people on the road, they ran through the crowd, and the people behind them came chasing after them, causing huge chaos. Many people were knocked over and there were lots of cursing.

Bang! Bang!

As gunshots rang out, the people chasing after them let out agonizing cries. Two people had been shot in the leg and fell. As a result, the people behind them instantly fell into a mess, but some outlaws still continued to give chase.

Bang!

This time around, it was a headshot, and a person fell on the spot. This caused many of them to stop their pursuit.

“Sister Die.” A figure wearing a mask stood in front of the roof Xu Mo and Ye Qingdie were at. Xu Mo then looked through the mask and saw that this was the guy with the demon-face mask from the other time. However, he had changed to another mask. He had also managed to escape successfully from the church the other time.

“Watch out!” Xu Mo suddenly shouted and pulled Ye Qingdie toward him, dodging to the left.

Bang! Bang! Two gunshots rang out almost concurrently from behind them, hitting the people on the streets in front of Xu Mo’s group. At this moment, three figures had appeared behind them, and two of them had guns.

Seeing this, the man with the demon-face mask pulled his triggers on both of the shooters consecutively. Two bullets then cut through the air and exploded the heads of the two shooters.

After the two of them fell, a guy wearing glasses walked up. It was the guy with the gold-wire glasses. Right now, his eyes were squinted, and he swung his arm out. Instantly, over ten poker cards flew out into the air, sweeping out for Xu Mo’s group of three like sharp blades.

These poker cards were silver in color. They were made from metal and extremely thin. However, when they flew at such high speed, they were extremely sharp and their prowess wouldn’t lose out to bullets.

The man with the demon-face mask fired concurrently with both his guns while being pushed back. However, as the poker cards flew horizontally, it was very hard for the bullets to hit them. He could only dodge rapidly.

Meanwhile, Xu Mo and Ye Qingdie were forced to hide at a store at the side, in the enemy’s blind spot.

As Xu Mo extended his perception to the maximum, everything around him became extremely clear. He could see the guy with the gold-wire glasses holding a stack of silver-colored metal cards in his left hand and kept sending them out with his right. As a result, the metal cards flew out, and the man with the demon-face mask was in a dangerous situation under the threat of the metal cards.

At this moment, Ye Qingdie charged out, pulling the trigger of the gun in her hand.

However, at the same instant as she went out, the guy with the gold-wire glasses also tossed over ten cards with his right hand. They then flew for Ye Qingdie like a net.

Xu Mo also moved. At the instant he stepped out, three meteor darts were thrown out.

Bang!

The guy with the gold-wire glasses moved sideways and avoided Ye Qingdie’s bullet. He was almost hit. Thereafter, three hidden weapons came shooting toward him. As a response, his right hand shook and three poker cards flew toward the three hidden weapons concurrently.

Two meteor darts were stopped, plunging after colliding with the metal poker cards in the air. However, the last meteor dart brushed past the poker card and continued forward. Seeing this, the guy with the gold-wire glasses tilted his head back. His reaction speed was also very fast, and the meteor dart was supposed to miss his neck by a little.

Chi!

However, at the next moment, blood splattered out of his neck. The meteor dart that was spinning at high speed had slit his throat and flown off.

“How could that happen?” His eyes opened wide and he recalled the earlier scene. How could he have seen wrongly?

The meteor dart shouldn’t have hit him given its trajectory.

The guy with the gold-wire glasses fell to the ground, but the danger wasn’t over yet. At this moment, Ye Qingdie turned and fired two more shots. There were bullets flying over from the opposite end, a sign that the people behind had caught up to them.

Perceiving two gun-wielders falling, Xu Mo took a look at Ye Qingdie and said, “Let’s go.”

The two of them then continued to run forward. On the roof, the man with the demon-face mask fired shots and pushed back the people giving chase. After that, he also ran in the same direction as they did.

Cobra had caught up to them. When he saw his subordinates getting shot and falling, his countenance didn’t seem too good either.

“A bunch of trash!”

Cobra cursed. His words had just ended when his arms and legs started to break apart. His arms became long and narrow mechanical blades, flickering with a white, cold, and scary gleam that was savage and terrifying. As for his mechanical legs, they locked onto the ground and bent slightly like springs. In the next instant, Cobra’s body shot forth like a silver bolt of lightning.

Xu Mo and Ye Qingdie, who were in front, turned into another path.

“Hurry up! Cobra isn’t easy to deal with!” Ye Qingdie said. Xu Mo perceived the situation at the back. A figure was chasing right behind them, and his speed was a lot faster than theirs. The mechanical limbs rubbed against the ground, letting out sharp and piercing sounds, leaving behind many traces.

“He’s already here,” Xu Mo said, wondering what kind of monster this guy was. Xu Mo had also seen a person with mechanical arms at the fighting arena the other time, but that person wasn’t as exaggerated.

Very soon, Ye Qingdie and the man with the demon-face mask also heard the sounds behind them. Both of them then turned concurrently, pulling the trigger at the same time. Their shooting skills were both very accurate, and bullets shot out at horrifying speed in Cobra’s direction.

Cobra seemed to have anticipated the bullets’ direction and kept on dodging. His movements were terrifyingly agile, and all the bullets couldn’t hit him.

However, Ye Qingdie and the man with the demon-face mask didn’t stop. They continued to fire at him. To cope with their firepower, Cobra’s mechanical arm pierced into the heart of a passerby, hooking him up and using him as a meat shield. He then continued to charge forward, getting closer to Xu Mo’s group of three at an extremely fast speed.

Xu Mo was holding onto his darts and staring at the figure rushing toward them. Cobra was very strong, a lot stronger than the two men he had encountered at the church.

At this moment, Cobra’s arm moved, and the passerby who was used as a shield was sliced up by his arm. Right after, Xu Mo’s meteor dart shot out toward Cobra.

However, the instant the meteor dart got close, it was cut down by the blade. The other party’s speed made it meaningless even if Xu Mo wanted to control the direction of the dart.

His glasses had slid down his nose, and he squinted his eyes, staring at the three people in front of him like a dangerous and venomous snake. This was how he got his alias.

Ye Qingdie and the man with the demon-face mask didn’t put down their guns but continued to aim them at Cobra. Upon seeing this, Cobra’s mechanical legs moved forward, and his cold gaze continued to stare at him, watching the trio’s movements.

Although his reaction speed was very fast, he was unable to ignore the threat of bullets. If he was hit in the head, he’d also die.

Just then, Cobra’s gaze changed slightly. He looked behind Xu Mo and the others. A figure was walking out in their direction.

Xu Mo also perceived the figure behind them. This guy had a long and slender figure, being 1.8 meters tall. He wore a silver-colored metal mask, and his black hair was draped over his shoulders. He looked very cool and unbridled.

What Xu Mo found even more surprising was that this person carried a sword on his back.

This style was very cool!

“You guys leave first,” the silver-masked man spoke up, his voice sounding. After saying this, he charged ahead, drawing out his sword. He leaped into the air and slashed out at Cobra.

“Energy!” Xu Mo’s pupils contracted. The sword of this guy wasn’t an ordinary one. He perceived energy from it, just like the electric blade that the blade-wielder at the church had been using

Moreover, this sword’s energy was stronger.

This energy was highly likely to be origin energy.

“Go,” said Ye Qingdie and then backed off. The three of them turned to leave.

As Xu Mo turned to leave, he continued to perceive the situation behind. The two guys had engaged each other, with the sword and the blade colliding, making sharp and piercing sounds. At this moment, Cobra’s legs were hooked against two walls, his body parallel to the ground. He looked like an actual snake.

The three of them then turned into a few alleys, and the number of people gradually dwindled. There was no one else chasing after them.

Xu Mo looked down and saw that Ye Qingdie was still barefooted.

“Exciting,” Ye Qingdie smiled and said. This was the first time she felt such excitement.

“Who is Cobra?” Xu Mo asked.

“A modified human,” Ye Qingdie explained, “Cobra is brutal and merciless. He developed his own power in the black market, and there are many outlaws under him. He is one of the main powers in the black market and does all kinds of evil deeds. At the same time, he also plays other roles.”

“What roles?” Xu Mo asked. The parents of the original host of this body shouldn’t have offended Cobra before. There must be some other reasons Cobra had sent his subordinates to kill them.

“As a killing blade for some people,” replied Ye Qingdie. Xu Mo instantly understood. She should be referring to the people who were of higher status in the Subterranean World.

“Why are his modified mechanical limbs so agile?” Xu Mo asked. Cobra was able to control his mechanical limbs with great ease, as if they were his real limbs and were controlled by his nervous system.

The technology in the Subterranean World didn’t seem to be too advanced, but mechanical limbs seemed to be very common.

“You don’t know?” Ye Qingdie looked at Xu Mo, finding it a little strange. There seemed to be a lot of things he didn’t know of.

“Should I know?” Xu Mo asked.

Ye Qingdie smiled. “In the black market, everyone knows who ‘Doctor’ is. There, you’ll be able to buy lives. Mechanically modified bodies are commonly seen, but different materials will be charged at different prices. As a matter of fact, Cobra was very vicious to himself and has undergone a full modification of his limbs. Moreover, his mechanical limbs aren’t cheap, and the surgical fees are also astonishingly expensive. Money is important, very important in the Subterranean World. If we were to spend the federal coins we have just earned this time around, they’d be gone very fast!”

“Advanced technology exists in this world.” After hearing Ye Qingdie’s words, Xu Mo thought to himself.

There were applications of mechanical limbs here and even genetic evolution solutions.

However, Xu Mo felt that the technologies in the Subterranean World were restricted. Those important characters must have restrained the thoughts of people in the Subterranean World and controlled the technologies.

Was it to guard against organizations like the one Ye Qingdie and the others were in?
