America: John Wick 1924

Chapter 8 Dual-wielding in the New Era

Faced with the bald man's vehement mockery, the nun's face turned pale and then red. She wanted to retort, but didn't know how to start, and couldn't help but bite her teeth.

At this moment——

call!
The fluttering sound of robes echoed throughout the entire venue!

A tall, dark figure suddenly appeared from the side and lunged at "Rifle Old Mexican"!
A flash of silver light—before "Old Mexican Rifle" could even let out a scream, he collapsed to the ground, spitting blood, and the M1894 Winchester lever-action rifle in his hand flew out of his grasp!

……

……

While the bald man and his men were busy attacking the nun, Li Yu carefully counted the enemy's equipment while quietly shifting his position to find the most suitable attacking spot and waiting for the most opportune moment to strike.

—One person carries a lever-action rifle, four people carry semi-automatic pistols, two people carry revolvers, three people carry daggers, and three people carry baseball bats.

Because the bandits' attention was focused on the nun, this created a very good opportunity for Li Yu!

In fact, from the very beginning, Li Yu had been planning to find an opportunity to wipe out this "wolf gang" in one fell swoop!
On the one hand, it's to play the role of a "holy knight" who eliminates evil and a "good person" who does good deeds and accumulates experience points; on the other hand, it's out of interest.

The wicked criminals who deserved to die were committing atrocities right before his eyes, and he had the ability to stop them... Under such circumstances, Li Yu was absolutely unwilling to stand aside!

Of the 13 people, 7 were armed. Without a doubt, these 7 armed men were the most troublesome.

Using a knife against a gun is extremely disadvantageous.

After a moment's thought, Li Yu turned his head and stared intently at "Old Mexican with Rifle".

To be precise, they were eyeing the M1894 Winchester lever-action rifle in his hand!

If we can seize this gun and make good use of the "Lever-Lever Rifle Mastery Lv.A", we can easily defeat this gang of bandits!
So he quietly moved to the spot closest to "Old Mexican with Rifle".

After completing all preparations, he took a deep breath, exhaling all the stale air from his lungs, and then, in a volume only he could hear, softly recited the Bible:
“‘Be careful not to stray from injustice, for that is the very reason for your misfortune.’”

"May your right hand display awesome deeds, that you may ride forth in triumph for truth, humility, and righteousness, and be victorious in all endeavors."

The instant he finished speaking... in a very instant! He suddenly lowered his waist and sprang forward like a whirlwind!

Their target was that "rifle-wielding Mexican"!
Li Yu steadied the scabbard with his left hand, gripped the hilt of the sword with his right, and used the momentum of his forward lunge, as well as the acceleration of the blade as it was drawn from the scabbard—that is, centrifugal force—to slash diagonally out!

call out!
The blade sliced ​​through the air in a fan-shaped arc of silver light, cutting open the body of "Old Mexican with Rifle".

"Old Mexican with Rifle" stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. He gushed out a lot of bloody foam, his limbs went limp, and the rifle slipped from his hand.

In a flash, Li Yu swiftly extended his left hand and steadily snatched the lever-action rifle from mid-air.

Even though it was his first time holding a lever-action rifle, the moment he gripped the handle, an indescribable sense of familiarity washed over his palm.

It was as if he had used this gun countless times, and he knew every single detail of the handle like the back of his hand!

Li Yu knew that this was the skill "Lever-Lever Rifle Mastery Lv.A" at work!
At this moment, Li Yu held a lever-action rifle in his left hand and a Qi Family Saber in his right... From a distance, he looked exactly like a dual-wielding swordsman!
"Sister! Lie down!"

The nun paused for a moment, then obediently complied, quickly lying down on the ground and curling up like a rabbit.

The instant he spoke to warn the nun, Li Yu didn't stop. He swiftly rotated his left arm, adjusted the muzzle of the lever-action rifle, aimed at the "semi-automatic pistol-wielding Mexican" not far away, and pulled the trigger.

boom!
The scorching bullet ripped through the air, striking the opponent squarely between the eyebrows. The moment the bullet left the barrel, Li Yu gripped the trigger guard with his middle, ring, and pinky fingers and flicked it forcefully.

The gun body rotates once in mid-air around the protective ring, ejecting a hot cartridge case, and then returns to its original position with a crisp "click," indicating that it has been chambered.

He cocked the lever-action rifle with just one hand! His movements were so skillful that there was no unnecessary action; his speed was no slower than cocking with both hands!
A rifle that can be loaded with just one hand... is perfect for a swordsman like Li Yu!
Li Yu's sudden appearance, and the tragic deaths of his two companions, left Baldy and his men dumbfounded.

The sudden attack caught them completely off guard.

Although their consciousness had not yet caught up with reality, Li Yu's blade and gun barrel left them no time to think things through.

The only thing they're certain of right now is that they'll fight back immediately!

The bald man's expression suddenly changed, his brows furrowed, bloodshot eyes appeared, and he gritted his teeth.

"Damn it! Kill him! Kill him!"

As he spoke, he raised his revolver and aimed it at Li Yu.

Including the bald man, all the surviving Mexicans who were armed—two "revolver Mexicans" and three "semi-automatic pistol Mexicans"—raised their guns and pulled the triggers violently as if in a fit of rage.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Bullets tore through the air, raining down on Li Yu.

Li Yu was riddled with bullets—this was a scene imagined by the bandits.

But what is the truth?

The truth is, Li Yu was already prepared when Baldy and the others were about to fire—he squinted and stared intently at the other side without blinking.

In that instant, everything in his eyes slowed down, like a video being played in slow motion.

The actions of the bald man and others pulling the trigger, the tongues of fire from the gun muzzles, the trajectories of the bullets... all of these were clearly reflected in Li Yu's eyes.

"Bullet Time Lv.B", activate!

Activating this skill is very simple; it only requires a thought, even simpler than breathing.

The skill description clearly states that "Bullet Time Lv.B" lasts for 10 seconds and has a 20-second cooldown period after activation.

Ten seconds... that's enough to defeat the bald guy and his gang!

After discerning the trajectories of the bullets, Li Yu moved his body unhurriedly, as if strolling leisurely, effortlessly causing all the bullets to whiz past him.

This scene left the bald man and his companions dumbfounded, turning them all into clay sculptures and wooden statues.

"Holy crap! How is this possible?!"

"Damn it! Why can't I hit him!"

"This...this guy isn't human!"

In that instant when the bald man and the others were frozen in shock, Death had already raised His deadly scythe.

Li Yu didn't just blindly dodge. While moving to avoid the bullets, he quickly scanned his vision, memorizing the positions of the bald man and the others, and then silently raised the lever-action rifle in his left hand—

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
Fire, load, fire, load... and so on!
It's like he's got a "lock-on cheat"! Once he locks onto a target with his eyes, his arm automatically adjusts the position of the gun muzzle, resulting in a 100% hit rate!
