Volume 5: The Cold-Blooded Princess and the Dark Heaven Chapter 117: A Moment of Life and Death
.
The simplest actions hide the deadliest dangers. Under Bai Lin's strength, the metallic whip at the end of the body, which was like a soft snake in the water, suddenly completely violated the laws of motion of the object, and at the moment when it should have been its turn to swing and then stop quieting, it turned in the direction of "boom", like an arrow off the string, shooting behind Eddard and heading straight for Old Duroc!
This surprise attack was so unexpected that little Jit only had time to turn his head to look at the phantom - this was because of his sunglasses, otherwise he would have to splash old Duroc's brains on his face to react - and old Duroc was a little stronger than him, and at the same time, the revolver he pulled out when he broke the helmet brother's head was still in his hand, and in a flash of lightning in his eyes, he was about to raise his arm and shoot again, using bullets to defuse the danger.
But before his slow movements, a hand stretched out horizontally, stopping the path of the whip to his head, and clutching it between his fingers.
A powerful electric current penetrated through the black glove and visibly raged along the flesh below, bursting out of Ed's cheeks in an instant, and at the same time making his already fried hair even more explosive. But other than that, Ed himself didn't seem to be affected more, just squeezed his eyebrows and raised his eyes to look at Bai Lin, the thunder whip girl, with a toothache on his face.
Old Duroc's jaw moved, and his beard shook with him, and finally silently inserted the pistol back into his waist. He felt that he had felt right before, and Eddard, who was gradually returning to his full self, had unconsciously undergone a fundamental change from before, completely different. It is not only manifested in the character, but also in the control and play of their own complete strength.
Unlike ordinary armed or reformed people, except for some special cases, when a martial arts cultivator unconsciously urges the strength of his body, he is not much different from ordinary ordinary people in all aspects. If you want to make a rough analogy, it can only be said that it is very similar to some groups of adepts.
If it weren't for the fact that she was facing Susan, she would have been able to resist the bullet that hurt her just by tensing her muscles.
Old Duroc thought, a little scornful. If it was the current Ed who encountered Carl with him, then even if they still couldn't fight, it would definitely be no big problem to run, so that they didn't have to have to be rescued by Adele - and he hadn't been rescued yet, and Ed had initially started to complete himself later.
Bai Lin didn't say anything special about his attack being easily blocked by Ed, but his gloomy and sharp eyes were shrouded in a layer of dangerous darkness.
No, her entire face was shrouded in a dangerous darkness.
"Put away your pathetic taunt, detective." She said in a nice, smiling voice, without a trace of emotion, "I have no pity for these incompetent fools, but now they are my teammates, my help, and a temporary tool to help me make money." When you hurt them, you hurt me. Her gaze was deflected, and her small, non-human-like pupils stared at the old Duroc behind Eddard, "It's not just about the owner who fights the dog...... It also depends on the timing. ”
“……”
Ed's mouth turned to the left, blinked in a matter-of-fact manner, nodded, and then slanted his gaze at the tiger-striped shirt behind Bai Lin and the remaining helmet brother, and found that the two of them did not react to Bai Lin's words at all. This shows that either they are not bad in the city and know that they can't have conflicts between their own people now, even if Bai Lin said that kind of thing, or they also agree with Bai Lin's concept and don't feel that there is anything wrong with what she said, because they follow the same set of rules as her.
Ed is no longer a rookie, even in the past few months in Stuttgard with the concept of doing nothing, he has reluctantly learned some general knowledge of Stuttgar's underground world through various channels because of the pressure of survival. As for what exactly are these so-called "various channels", it is not difficult to guess at all. Of all the friends he knew, there were only a handful of them who could help him with that.
Helping the Donfried family on Barblair's turf against the Dark Paradise, which is protected by the police, is still an obvious dead hand, and there is no politeness or fear at all - Ed has almost figured out who he has encountered this time. And if it was really the clan he thought, then what Bai Lin was talking about was the law that all of them followed.
The Law of the Traveler.
"Maybe one day," a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Ed looked at Bai Lin's eyes seriously, "We will become friends." ”
"Maybe." Bai Lin smiled and nodded, and then his eyes revealed a snake-like demon, "As long as you can survive today!" ”
“!”
The current contained in the thunder whip in his hand suddenly burst, bursting the shackles of Ed's fingers, regaining his agility and freedom, and quickly retreating under Bai Lin's control, flying extremely fast in the air between the two, turning into a flashing electric whip shadow in the sky, dazzling and shrouded Ed and the three.
There is no way to completely stop Ed from such an attack!
"Let's go, get out of here!"
With a hissed toothache, Ed turned his head back and waved his hand eagerly at Old Duroc and Little Git, his gloved fist blocking the first flash. He felt like his hand was aching to death, stemming from the battle that had started downstairs and had been accumulating until now. Just because you're used to pain doesn't mean you won't feel it anymore.
Old Duroc dragged little jitter, and he didn't have time to talk too much nonsense with Ed, so he retreated directly and decisively, leaving the frontal battlefield to Ed. On the other side, the tiger-striped shirt and helmet brother behind Bai Lin bypassed the barrier formed by Bai Lin's flying whip and electric light from the other side, and turned a big bend to chase after the two who wanted to escape. And Bai Lin's narrow eyes, who noticed the movements of Ed and the others, narrowed, and the already narrow eyes seemed to be completely closed together.
"Nasty." She muttered to herself, and finally screamed, "Nasty!! ”
"What?"
Before Ed could understand what this sound meant, he saw the madwoman in a white trench coat crashing towards him - she seemed to have turned into a leopard, or an ostrich, or a white rooster at this moment, but the same thing was that her body surface was wrapped in a thick layer of electricity, and the whip shadow that was dancing wildly around her also converged, and converged to within three meters of her body, forming an impenetrable "egg" between the crazy dances, the whip shadow egg that shone with electric light!
Before Ed could utter a frightened swear word, the egg flew to the side. His makeshift fist didn't do any damage to the eggshell at all, and the rebound mixed with the powerful electricity it was subjected to nearly broke his arm, causing his body to spiral out uncontrollably, and "snap" like a fly on a huge poster on a pillar in the fitness center.
The poster appeared to be a fitness photo of a well-known muscular hunk trainer, who looked very good, with white teeth, a philosophical smile, squinting and looking at everything out there.
“……”
Ed, who fell to the ground, looked up and saw the big photo that he had just had intimate contact with, and made eye contact with the deep macho man inside, then stood up without saying a word, gave a thumbs up, and then turned around and ran.
The situation was so critical that Erin had clearly shown her true skills, and he couldn't guarantee how long Old Duroc and Little Jitter would be able to hold out under that crazy woman's hands, let alone stop them, and they didn't even need to ask.
Let's hope they can survive the first wave...... Don't get pumped to death all at once.
Judging from the power of Bai Lin's whip that he felt, it was very likely!
Thinking in his heart, Ed had already seen what was happening in front of him - Old Duroc and Little Jit, who had already run to the top of the stairs, were finally caught up by the faster Helmet Brother, the tiger striped shirt followed, the four of them scuffled and rolled on the ground, and the competition for Little Jit's suitcase directly caused him to be crushed at the bottom of the three. This is obviously the purpose of the tiger striped shirts, they don't plan to catch Old Duroc and Little Jit soon, they are just responsible for supporting the two until Bai Lin comes.
And Bai Lin really lived up to their expectations, and rushed away from Ed's blockade with great momentum. She looked at the entangled four people from a distance, and suddenly flicked the whip with a sharp light, and pulled the pistol that Duroc Sr. had pulled out all the way through, tied the long and thick revolver barrel to her waist, dragged it into the air, flipped it and fell into her hands.
Then, without aiming at all, she flicked her wrist with the gun, and a bullet snapped out, cutting through a strange arc and heading straight for the head of the big man and the immobile little Geet.
Killer moves, neat and without hesitation. Bai Lin's idea is very simple, since this kid is holding on to something, then deal with him first, and then solve the old detective. When the time comes, she stops Eddard, and her companion will naturally be able to take the goods and leave.
At this moment, little Geet's fate seemed to be sealed. Ed was still a step too late after all, although he jumped up and flew over from a distance, pounced on Bai Lin's body, and threw her to the ground, but the bullet had already reached Little Git's eyes, and Ed could no longer do anything to save it.
At that moment, little Geet's sunglasses reflected the blurred image of the bullet. At that moment, a white phantom obscured him.
A blood-stained rabbit with large, bright red eyes.
