Chapter 313 -309 Encounter Battle

Old Zongzi looked up, silently howling.

Crack—

The squad leader’s neck was broken!

Old Zongzi tossed the squad leader’s corpse aside like a broken sack and stepped out of the tomb chamber. Soon, cries and howls of mercenaries echoed from the corridor outside the chamber.

Taotie and Tom exchanged glances, speechless.

They knew Old Zongzi was fierce, but they hadn’t anticipated this level of ferocity.

Tom, with a questioning look, hinted Taotie with his eyes, asking if they could breathe yet.

His handsome face had turned red, nearly suffocating.

Taotie let out a breath, “Run!”

Saying this, Taotie picked up the Strange Dagger and started running.

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to glance at the Golden Horned Copper Coffin, grabbing a Bronze Beast-Shaped Knob and a Metal Seal, stuffing them into his pocket.

Tom hurried to keep up, and on his way out, followed Taotie’s lead, grabbing two items from the Golden Horned Copper Coffin and stuffing them into his own pocket.

“Taotie, where are we going?”

Tom asked urgently.

“Home, of course!”

“Princess Your Highness is waiting for us!”

Taotie answered as if it were obvious.

After checking the marks on the ground to confirm the direction Old Zongzi had taken, Taotie decisively chose the opposite direction to leave.

Both Taotie and Tom were fast, and in the ancient tomb, Taotie seemed right at home. They exited the tomb and returned to the cave passage in a third of the time it had taken them to arrive.

Back in the cave passage, Tom took the lead.

Having followed the map once already on the way here.

Each passage was deeply ingrained in Tom’s brain, he didn’t need to refer to the map at all.

As they reached the charred remains of the Man-eating Rat Nest, Tom, leading the way, suddenly stopped and made a shushing gesture to Taotie behind him.

Taotie understood and immediately stopped.

Together with Tom, they hid behind a stalactite and peeped ahead.

Not far ahead, a dozen men in black uniforms were inspecting the marks on the ground.

The uniforms of these men each had a “Pawnshop” character embroidered with gold thread on their chests.

“Old Tom, looks like they’re Pawnshop’s men,” Taotie whispered quietly.

Tom nodded, “Just like the legends!”

“What do we do now?”

Taotie asked in a low voice.

“Kill them all!”

“They’re blocking the way; we can’t get past.”

As he spoke, a coldness flashed in Tom’s eyes.

Although Tom wasn’t aware of the grudge between Fang Xiaocao and the Pawnshop, his principles as a top assassin meant he had no intention of letting these men go.

A top assassin is never kindhearted.

Regarding human life as mere grass is a basic survival rule for a qualified assassin.

Since they couldn’t get around them, they might as well kill them.

Why would Tom care about a few mere lives?

Hearing Tom’s words, Taotie raised his eyebrows.

He flashed a sinister grin.

“Old Tom, I’m starting to like you more and more,” Taotie said cheerily.

But his smile was somewhat twisted and terrifying.

Although Tom was indifferent to life, he still retained some humanity.

Taotie was utterly inhumane.

Except for Fang Xiaocao and Tom, with whom Taotie would occasionally make cheap jokes, he wouldn’t hesitate for a second when it came to stabbing Hummingbird or Wan Xiaozhou in the back.

Tom gave Taotie a disdainful look, “Back off!”

“Hehe~”

Taotie let out a string of sneaky laughter.

“Let’s get moving!”

Tom, tired of dealing with Taotie, got ready to move.

Taotie slid his hand into the gauntlet.

The next second!

He burst out from behind the stalactite where he was hiding and charged straight at those dozen or so people from the pawnshop.

Watching Taotie recklessly charge forward, Tom shook his head helplessly. He had planned to lay out a combat strategy first, to shoot a few with his gun, then pretend to be overwhelmed, lure the enemy deeper, and then let Taotie take action to wipe them all out.

Now, great, Taotie had just charged in recklessly.

What should have been an ambush by Tom turned into a frontal assault, and Tom felt like shooting Taotie on the spot.

But thinking was just thinking, after all, they were brothers who had shared hardships and faced death together; he couldn’t really just shoot Taotie in the head, right?

Tom held a gun in one hand and a black dagger in the other, dashing out from behind the stalactite.

At the same time, his finger pulled the trigger.

He opened fire on those dozen or so people from the pawnshop.

Tom didn’t hesitate to empty the magazine.

Bang, bang, bang—

With a few gunshots, four of the pawnshop people were instantly brought down by bullets.

Given Tom’s marksmanship, it took eight shots to kill just four pawnshop men, indicating that those guys were not pushovers either, being able to dodge bullets and show quite the skill.

Facing an instant loss of four men, the remaining eleven pawnshop guys started firing back immediately.

As Tom closed in, he changed the magazine with one hand and loaded the chamber with the other, performing the actions smoothly in one go.

It was indeed a slick move.

After reloading, Tom’s gaze was fierce as he once again showed off his single-handed rapid shooting skills.

In an instant, gunfire rang out again.

Two enemies who were attempting to peek out and shoot were instantly killed, their heads blown away by bullets.

Taotie, silent and focused, charged head-on.

Unperturbed by bullets whizzing by his side, not even frowning, he knew that once he got close, it would be his home ground. With a Strange Dagger in his hand, no god could stop him, no Buddha could stop him, guaranteeing he would teach these guys a lesson.

While Tom provided cover fire for Taotie, he advanced, continuing the single-handed rapid shooting, displaying a variety of moves.

Any exposed enemy was instantly killed.

It was as if the bullets had eyes.

Although most were dodged,

there were always a few unlucky ones who met their end at the barrel of a gun.

Tom’s precise marksmanship successfully suppressed the people from the pawnshop, managing to cover them with fire single-handedly, greatly limiting their space to shoot back.

Through an exchange of fire, the pawnshop’s eleven men with eleven guns were utterly outplayed by Tom alone, who killed one and wounded two more. Meanwhile, Tom himself was unharmed, and although Taotie took two shots to the chest, they were perfectly defended by the Black Tech Bulletproof Vest. Aside from feeling a dull pain in his chest, Taotie was utterly fine.

Taotie was indeed lucky, the pawnshop’s people took no notice of him, thinking the knife-wielding fool was not a threat. They concentrated their firepower to try to take down sharpshooter Tom first, sparing Taotie any special attention.

Otherwise, no matter how good the Black Tech Bulletproof Vest and how tough Taotie’s back were, facing several deadly gun barrels, he would not have left unscathed.

But as it happened, things turned out quite theatrically.

Nobody from the pawnshop took Taotie seriously, thinking such a fool could easily be taken down by concentrated fire once he got close. This gave Taotie his chance.

“Damn it!”

“You little bastards, dare to shoot me!”

“Die, all of you!”

Finally getting within range, Taotie cursed loudly, his glaring Strange Dagger spinning like a huge windmill. With one swing, he split the nearest pawnshop man, along with his gun, in two.

The others, no longer bothering to shoot at Tom, immediately turned their guns to try and kill Taotie first…
