Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 345 [Standoff]

A heart that transcends death has once again changed the course of the battle.

The fact that the madman Cronzio wouldn't die only drove him even crazier.

When the first bullet inevitably pierced his body, he felt pain and fear, but immediately, he realized he was not dead.

He's still alive.

When the bullet reached its point of death, it was as if it had been told it was going to the wrong destination.

"cool!!!"

The feeling of death arriving and departing filled Krenzo with extreme excitement.

He let out a frantic shout, then strode forward again, wielding two Winster typewriters.

He successfully saved two of his companions who were doomed.

Bullets can't kill him.

This scene made Morren, who was at the bridgehead in the distance, frown.

He sensed something was wrong.

Not dead.

This immediately reminded him of those bastards in the West End.

Could it be that that bastard Trevor has switched sides?
Given that bastard's personality and character, it's hard to say he wouldn't do something like that.

However, his idea quickly disappeared.

Because when he chased after that fearless kid, someone blocked his way.

This person, wearing a black bird-beak mask and a huge black trench coat, looked like a black bird spreading its wings in this hazy, rainy night.

Johnny Blackbird.

Almost immediately, the name popped into his mind.

Why is he here?
Shouldn't he be assassinating that nobleman whose surname contains the letter A tonight?

Is he really Johnny Blackbird?
In an instant, a multitude of thoughts flooded my mind.

But in the end, only one thing came to his mind, and that was...

Grab him.

Anyway, catch this blackbird.

Perhaps catching this blackbird is more important than tonight's complete victory.

"Send a signal..."

He said something immediately, then stopped right away.

"No, don't send a signal."

He intends to capture him alone.

In a flash, he took a deep breath, gathering all his strength and energy; he had to be at his best.

Perhaps this is a crossroads in his life.

He has to take the right path.

He drew his gun, pressed forward, and secretly instructed his men to approach, ensuring a powerful strike.

However, Johnny Blackbird really did dodge all the bullets with ease, just like a bird, and stood in front of him.

"Want to catch me? Try it."

He actually saw through Morren's thoughts at a glance.

Then there's no need to hide it anymore.

"Surround him, seize him! He's Johnny Blackbird! Seize him, and I'll give you anything you want!"

Morren growled almost fanatically.

Upon hearing this, his men all let out strange cries.

In an instant, more gunfire and mysterious True Name power rushed towards Johnny Blackbird, like the rain that kept falling from the sky.

Johnny Blackbird is no longer able to evade everything so easily.

He was hit.

But he was not shot down.

Because he is the immortal Johnny.

Nothing can shoot him down.

He accepted all the attacks with almost graceful ease.

Then, it continues to stand tall and move forward.

Finally, Hardheaded Moran rushed up to Blackbird Johnny. He no longer used a gun; instead, he pulled out two small military daggers, and at the same time, his entire body was covered in a thin, black armor.

He was called "Hardhead Bug" not only because he was tough and reckless, but also because of his fighting style. From the very beginning, he fought head-on, wearing heavy armor and engaging in close combat.

An immortal being is indeed terrifying, but what if you keep killing your opponent?

"How many more times can you live?" Moran thrust the military dagger in his hand straight at Johnny Blackbird's face.

However, at this moment, someone stepped forward.

Krenzo directly blocked Morin's military knife with his bare hands.

"Your opponent is me!"

Krenzo yelled at him.

"Good lad, I knew you could keep up."

Johnny Blackbird burst out laughing.

"It's not just me, it's everyone!"

More people rushed forward.

This is no longer a night when Johnny the Blackbird flies alone; the Blackbird now has companions.

A fierce battle.

An absolutely tough battle.

Morren was completely unable to break through this group of immortals.

Especially since the ringleaders were two, no, three madmen who weren't afraid of dying at all.

That's right, Aaron also joined the sprint team.

This directly resulted in the fact that Molen, who was supposed to be the hard-headed one leading the charge, became the biggest drag on the team.

The teams led by other people actually advanced even faster.

This made some of the members of the group who belonged to Sea King Lockerbie feel dissatisfied, and they also realized that even if they really captured Blackbird Johnny, he would probably be taken away by Morren. Rather than that, it would be better to share him with everyone.

So someone secretly sent out a signal.

Suddenly, all attention was drawn to it.

Johnny Blackbird—that's a name that's enough to get everyone on edge.

Not only were Old Man Xiwen's other adopted sons restless, but there was another person who couldn't sit still either.

Heisenberg

If we were to trace the origin of everything, it would be Johnny Blackbird.

If we catch him, many things will change.

He had already stood up and given instructions to his men, who were hidden in the shadows, to protect the princess.

He has to go in person.

However, he had only taken a few steps when someone blocked his way.

"Your Excellency Heisenberg, are you leaving already? The filming isn't finished yet. Please sit down and watch some more."

Joseph.

Joseph suddenly arrived.

"What if I just don't want to watch it?"

Heisenberg's eyes were cold and piercing. He was far more senior than Joseph, and Joseph used to have to bow his head in his presence, but now they were on equal footing.

"This will put me in a difficult position."

Joseph made it clear that he would not give way, and even gripped the gun at his waist.

His meaning was clear: either sit down or go to war.

Perhaps Joseph is no match for Heisenberg, but once war breaks out, it won't just be a matter between the two of them; it will be an internal conflict within the Royal Guard.

This was the situation none of them wanted to see tonight, which is why Heisenberg came in person.

"Are you threatening me?"

"I dare not, I just have no choice. I still hope we can sit down and watch the show properly."

The two of them stood facing each other from a distance.

Rain continued to fall between them, dividing them into two spaces.

Not far away, cheers erupted from the artists, as if they were extremely satisfied with the new footage they had been filming.

one second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

The rain lasted for a full three seconds.

Heisenberg sighed and sat back down.

Do you really think you can win?
