Chapter 111: Chapter 101: Dead
Tao Yu released the assault rifles he was dual-wielding, allowing them to fall to the ground before drawing the last two from behind.
The hundred or so bullets fired before had already taken care of most of the targets here.
The combination of “Intuitive Shooting – Modified” + “Basic Shooting – Modified” gave Tao Yu a terrifying hit rate.
Deified Basic Shooting could modify bullet trajectories, but apart from the substantial concentration it consumed, small adjustments were mentally taxing. It was simple for single shots, but the effect was best for automatic fire at a single target.
For multiple targets, he mainly relied on his own Dynamic Vision combined with passive gun handling to lock on.
But now, with “Intuitive Shooting” coming into play, it was subconscious shooting. As long as he had a rough idea that it was a head, combined with his increasingly proficient shooting skills and fine adjustments, it was just like hanging locks on targets!
As long as a brain couldn’t withstand a single shot and was suddenly caught off guard, death was certain!
The scene was obviously celebrating, and although many people wore bulletproof vests, most had taken off their helmets!
Only a few with iron masks and similar attire on their faces were easily taken care of by Tao Yu as he added Shadow Force to his shots.
It seemed that Shadow Force could erode along the cracks formed by bullet impacts, killing those few with head protection with one or two shots.
The initial combat result of the new skill was quite impressive.
Skills were inexpensive, Deification costing just over a hundred, but offered an extremely high cost-performance ratio.
“I have always been strong in bursts, and now my ability to clean up the riffraff has also significantly improved,” he mused.

Tao Yu thought to himself, while also lifting his gaze to lock onto the direction of several containers.
Those rusty containers themselves seemed to be makeshift rest areas and bathrooms within the warehouse, simply made out of containers for convenience.
Now, they served as cover for the last four survivors.
The commanding Wild Wolf Gang Leader, Gold Master, Wino, and another guy whose name was unknown before.
Due to the high lethality of firearms and grenades, Tao Yu chose not to risk being counter-fired upon and instead prioritized targets based on who drew their guns first, rather than going for the strongest.
Therefore, it was inevitable that these few quickest to react and move survived.
“Who are you really? How much did the Skull Gang pay you? We are stronger in both finances and force; we could have given you more!” the Wolf King snarled from his hiding place, roaring in impotent rage.
His painstakingly gathered elite had been decimated overnight, nearly wiped out!
Dealing with the Skull Gang for so many years, he knew they didn’t have such skilled individuals.
This must have been external hired guns combined with internal traitors working together!
Facing these accusations, Tao Yu simply smiled lightly. Then, using Qi-Blood to drive energy to his vocal cords, he spoke through the helmet in a husky voice,
“Oh? You can offer more than the Skull Gang did? If you pay me now, I might consider sparing the four of you, and even returning the favor is not out of the question.”
The tone of Tao Yu’s voice made it impossible to discern his age or gender.
Facing Tao Yu’s proposition, the Wolf King just sneered coldly,
“Are you dreaming? I’ve overused that line myself. Besides a few greenhorns, who would actually pay up?”
After forging such a deep enmity, he presumed, even if money was accepted, it was certain to eradicate the root of the trouble!
At that moment, Wino, also taking cover there, spoke with a gloomy expression,
“Killing your way here solo, wiping out the core members of the Wild Wolf Gang with ease, such strength can’t belong to a nobody in Inner City. Are you ‘Lone Gunman’ or ‘Wilderness Hunter’?”
“You guess?”
Tao Yu didn’t know who those two were, probably notable titles like bounty hunters or partners.
But obviously, he wasn’t going to reveal anything voluntarily.
“Hmph, no matter who you are, what you’ve done is overstepping! Even if I’m out of favor now, attacking me is making an enemy of our family! Let’s end today’s incident here, and I can pretend it never happened!” Wino said, casting a glance at the Wolf King beside him.
The Wolf King, with a grave expression, nodded and began to move stealthily towards the other side of the container, crouching in a silent stride.
He also pulled a folded hood from his chest and slipped it on; it evidently offered some protection.
Although he wouldn’t be fully armed during the celebration, as an old wolf, he would always have some precautions for emergencies!
He never parted with his bulletproof vest, and the bulletproof hood was also kept ready just in case!
In this dog-eat-dog world, pure compromise was pointless!
Initially caught off guard, it wasn’t that they had no chance of winning now!
As the Wolf King was making his way towards the other side of the container, Wino signaled to Master Jin and another survivor behind another container to make some noise on the other side.
They were all people who had licked the blade’s edge, and although they were somewhat fearful of the heavy losses in the blink of an eye, they all set off towards the other side as well.
Since they didn’t possess the Wolf King’s skills, they were soon noticed by Tao Yu, who turned his head to glance in that direction.
It was in the instant that Tao Yu turned his head.
A nimble silhouette violently burst forth, rapidly lunging from the opposite direction of Tao Yu’s turned head, while swiftly employing Snake Skin maneuvers and simultaneously raising his pistol to fire at Tao Yu!
The Wolf King, having just burst out and seeing the direction of Tao Yu’s slight turn, curved the corners of his mouth into a smile. He had won!
He had been through countless moments of turning the tables like this over the years.
Having grown up in a garbage dump, he had scraped by until he turned eighteen, truly born in the lowest tier of the Outer City!
By virtue of his talent, he had finally climbed to his current position after experiencing numerous critical moments!
He possessed Grade A Agility!
A whole set of skills tailored to complement his talent, in addition to the wealth accumulated over the years by the Wild Wolf Gang.
Even in the Inner City, he could hold his ground firmly!
It was only because he had no talent in mechanics or the mutant category, and lacked the connections in the Inner City, that earning resources wasn’t as good as just staying here after all!
Do they truly take me, the Wolf King, for a sick dog?
The elite forces he had accumulated over the years were now almost completely wiped out in a single day, and now, it was time to exact blood for blood!
What Inner City bounty hunters, what partners, what ‘Lone Gunman’, what ‘Wilderness Hunter’, no matter who you are, you’re going to die!
“Die!”
The Wolf King seized the opportunity and immediately burst forth with all his strength!
While harnessing his proud speed and reflexes, he closed in, shooting in the style of Gunplay.
With dual pistols in hand and fluid, graceful movements intrinsic to the Wolf King himself, the sequence was indeed spectacularly smooth.
However, no sooner had he come out and exchanged a few shots with Tao Yu.
Suddenly, his head jerked back, a bloody hole appearing in his eye socket, blood spurting out.
The next moment his entire head was riddled with follow-up bullets; his skull cap was lifted, held back only by his hood, and he collapsed into a pool of blood.
Tao Yu, who had merely glanced at the Wolf King’s corpse, merely tilted his head casually, letting the bullet graze his helmet, leaving a scratch as it whizzed by.
To Tao Yu, endowed with the three major Spirit Perception skills—Crane Form – Modified, Warlord’s Sidearm, and Meditation Technique – Modified—the burst of malice that had suddenly erupted seemed glaringly obvious.
He naturally entered Bullet Time!
While minutely adjusting the aim and firing back almost simultaneously, he also caught sight of the opponent’s muzzle direction and bullet trajectory.
Although far from as fast as a bullet, easily capturing the trajectory and finding the best way to respond was not a problem.
Not wanting to test the quality of his helmet, nor to bet on the opponent’s bullets, Tao Yu definitely preferred to dodge first as a sign of respect…
Before Master Jin and the other survivor even showed themselves, the Wolf King had already bitten the dust and collapsed, casting a sudden silence over the scene.
The Wolf King?
Is this all there is to it?!
How did you even climb to the top?
How did you die just like that?
Died so easily?!
Blind were our dog eyes!
“Brother, I’m actually not from the Wild Wolf Gang, I’m out of this mess.”
After a moment of silence, Wino spoke out.
He even quickly received agreement from Master Jin and the other survivor!
“Yeah yeah yeah, nor am I, I’ve already left the Wild Wolf Gang.”
“From now on, the Wild Wolf Gang is no more; all their territory belongs to the Skull Gang!”
