Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

After Li Tianxing left Zhang Wei's house.

Then they set off for Lingshan.

Li Tianxing walks this path from Gun Di Long to Ling Shan every afternoon.

But today, he sensed something was amiss.

Why are there so many flies today?

Li Tian walked to a teahouse beside the mountain path, sat down, and drank a cup of tea.

There are always two Black Dragon Gang henchmen watching him here on weekdays.

Although they blended into the crowd, they felt very discreet.

But Li Tianxing had already discovered them.

As for today...

Li Tianxing felt that the entire teahouse had become quiet, which was a bit strange.

"Sir, what kind of tea would you like to drink today?"

A man dressed as a waiter approached Li Tianxing and spoke.

Instead of answering his question directly, Li Tianxing asked:

"I usually come here for tea, but your face looks a little unfamiliar?"

The waiter was stunned:

"Sir, you have a good eye. I'm the newest one here today."

Li Tianxing nodded:

"Then give me a cup of the freshest, piping hottest tea."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The waiter turned around and exchanged glances with the two tables of customers across from him.

There were 8 people at the two tables opposite, plus the waiter, making a total of 9 people.

Li Tianxing's gaze swept over the waiter.

Although he tried his best to conceal his identity, he wore large and tattered clothes.

But the way he walks and his demeanor are like those of a trained martial artist.

A waiter who only does odd jobs in the shop wouldn't have the opportunity to develop such a good physique.

The waiter returned to the back room and brought out a pot of boiling water.

He put tea leaves and a small pinch of white powder into the teapot, which looked like some kind of medicine.

As for the hidden corner of the back hall.

The original owner and staff of the teahouse were knocked unconscious and lay in a dark corner.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, sir."

This tea will absolutely satisfy you; it's made with freshly boiled water, piping hot.

As for the tea leaves, they were all fresh.

The waiter placed the tea on Li Tianxing's table with an apologetic expression and personally poured him a cup of tea.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Then I really must try it.

Li Tianxing smiled slightly and picked up his teacup.

However, he didn't drink the tea; instead, he poured it directly onto the waiter's face.

"Ouch! It's so hot!"

The waiter screamed, covered his face, and stumbled backward.

Li Tianxing stood up quickly and said in an icy voice:

"This tea isn't very hot."

Your blood must be hotter, right?

The other unsuspecting customers in the store quickly scattered and fled.

Only the two tables of guests opposite Li Tianxing remained untouched.

Li Tianxing strode towards the waiter, pressing his left hand against the back of his head.

He pressed him down hard and delivered a knee strike with his right knee!

It smashed directly onto the other person's forehead!

"Bang!"

The waiter's skull shattered, and he let out a miserable scream before collapsing to the ground!

At the same time, gunshots rang out.

Li Tianxing quickly dodged and hid behind the waiter.

He used his body to shield himself from the bullet!

The shot missed him, but hit the already dead waiter.

Li Tianxing sneered:

"You have guns, are you bandits?"

Anlan County is nestled between mountains and a river.

Therefore, there have always been bandits.

After the establishment of the Republic of China, the Dasheng regime also carried out suppression campaigns.

But these gangs, like cults of all sizes, are impossible to eradicate completely.

Because the environment is what it is, once you clear one crop, another will just emerge.

Therefore, the crackdown has not yet completely eliminated the bandits.

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do, brother."

The price they offered was too high; I simply couldn't refuse.

One of the men, who looked rather mature, took a sip of tea.

The gun in his hand was still sparking, clearly indicating that he was the one who fired the shot.

Using the waiter's corpse as cover, Li Tianxing hid behind a wall.

There is a window on the side of the wall...

Li Tianxing showed the police deputy commissioner's identification that Liu Hui had lent him.

"I'm the deputy director of the Anlan County Police Department. How dare you fucking assault a police officer?"

"Big brother, what should we do? Did we mistake someone for someone else?"

Didn't they say he was a fisherman?

"Look at his skills just now, do you think he's a fisherman?"

What else can we do now that things have come to this?

Who cares who he is!

They'd kill him, take the money, and run away.

The boss, who had just fired the shot, remained completely calm and blew away the smoke coming from the muzzle.

He then gave the instructions.

"Everyone, load your guns, get to work!"

Li Tianxing, hiding behind the wall, narrowed his eyes.

He didn't expect these people to let him go.

Instead, he wanted to follow these people and trace the clues back to where they came from.

The reason he revealed the identity that Liu Hui had lent him was because...

It's just about finding a plausible reason for oneself to shoot.

This way, even if people outside know that you have a gun...

It could also be said that it was Liu who gave it to him.

Li Tianxing reached into his pocket and pulled out his Ma brand pistol.

"I have to bless you today, bro."

Li Tianxing pushed off the safety and chambered a bullet.

The eight bandits on the other side quickly dispersed. Each of these men had several lives on their hands and were ruthless characters.

After hearing their boss's instructions, they no longer hesitated.

One by one, they raised their guns, ready to shoot Li Tianxing.

"Bang bang bang!"

The bandits opened fire, beginning to suppress Li Tianxing with firepower.

Meanwhile, two of the more agile bandits had already circled around to the side of the wall.

He wanted to shoot through the window.

However, they did not expect that Li Tianxing would rely on his hearing.

They could hear their footsteps clearly.

Li Tianxing gripped the gun with both hands, ready to fire, just waiting for the other party to show themselves.

A person peeked out furtively.

"Snapped!"

A gunshot rang out!

Li Tianxing pulled the trigger!

Then, he frowned again:

"Damn, am I really that bad at shooting?"

It turned out that the shot had grazed the bandit's cheek, drawing out a trace of blood.

It hit the wall behind the bandit.

The bullet grazed the bandit's face, preventing him from firing immediately.

"Go to hell!"

At this moment, the second bandit who had circled around seized the opportunity and fired a shot at Li Tianxing.

Li Tianxing dodged to the side, avoiding the shot.

With his current strength, he can't withstand bullets head-on.

Effective dodging is still achievable, given the potential bonus from the Demon Soul Flowing Light.

"Bang!"

Li Tianxing fired another shot, and this time it hit the target.

I don't know if it was good luck or if Li Tianxing just found his rhythm...

The bullet struck the enemy right between the eyebrows, killing the bandit instantly!

Suddenly, a new panel appeared in Li Tianxing's field of vision!

[Technique: Shooting (Beginner)]

Progress: (13/100)

[Ability: None.]

"?"

"That works! Great, great, looks like I can become a sharpshooter someday!"

"It should be a technical task related to growth attributes, which I can handle with my hard work!"

However, techniques like grinding an iron pestle into a needle are not considered advanced.

I think I've already reached the pinnacle...

So the panel has never shown up to me.

That must be it!
