Chapter 85: E-tier?

Intelligence Report #1: All opponents in this Sequence game are not above the B-tier.

Intelligence Report #2: B-tier players are still on the hunting list.

From these simple facts, the result can be easily deduced—the winner has been decided from the very beginning.

The knife swept, and the martial aura turned into countless vortexes. Ji Yi, bursting with determination, crossed hundreds of meters in an instant, slicing through Death's Leader's vital organs!

Blood and flesh scattered in the air for a brief moment. However, Death's Leader's head remained intact, still looking at Ji Yi with a smiling and eerie gaze.

"Emotion is a big taboo when it comes to killing," Death's Leader taught Ji Yi in a senior's tone, regenerating back to his original state. His dismantled firearms manifested again, and he aimed a 92FS military pistol directly at Ji Yi.

At such a close range, it was almost impossible to miss!

Just as the gunshot rang out, Ji Yi's martial technique erupted again. With an unbelievable speed, she twisted her movements and slashed again!

"Die!"

Close combat was the domain of martial players.

Thus, the Damascus Tang Sword obliterated Death's Leader once more, and the majestic martial aura turned him into crimson mist, splashing several dozen meters away!

However, knowing that chances were precious, "mask" resisted the burden of his ability and attempted to control again.

———insect

Death's Leader wouldn't allow himself to make the same mistake three times. He quickly regenerated his hand, manifested firearms, and unhesitatingly shot through "mask's" body.

"What—"

As the gunshot resounded through the night, "mask's" pupils lost focus, and he fell backward uncontrollably.

Grim blood spread along the trajectory of the bullet, reaching the end of the road.

"Mask?!" Ji Yi roared with clenched teeth.

However, "mask" no longer had the strength to answer Ji Yi. Death's Leader's enhanced bullets rendered him as vulnerable as paper.

Everyone below the B-tier was equal before firearms.

The enforcer team lost all combat capabilities, and their mission was declared a failure.

"Hahaha, isn't this a delightful surprise in war?"

"You bastard!"

In response to Death's Leader's cheerful mockery, Ji Yi pushed off her legs, breaking the eaves with her strength, and burst forward, releasing a gust of wind pressure. In an instant, she closed the distance!

At the same time, Death's Leader manifested a grappling hook launcher and used the multitude of buildings in the North District to rapidly create distance between them.

Bang, bang, bang, Death's Leader didn't stop unleashing his firepower, constantly interfering with the real world through "visual blockade."

From "Bai Cao Yuan" to "San Wei Shu Wu," covering thousands of meters in distance, Ji Yi and Death's Leader clashed repeatedly in the North District of City A, affecting different streets and building floors!

Thousands of kills, thousands of regenerations, the act of striking and counteracting repeated constantly, finally arriving at the last moment!

The walls shattered as Death's Leader was blown away, and Ji Yi advanced with her sword drawn, appearing suddenly in front of him. In a short moment, everything seemed to freeze.

This was the final strike, the strike Ji Yi gathered all her martial aura into. She was confident it would completely annihilate Death's Leader and determine the victor.

But in the gravity-dominated air, cement debris slowly turned, with an amplitude that was almost negligible...

At an unknown moment, a hand grenade, defying the laws of physics, flipped and fell from above Ji Yi's vision, stopping her thoughts, causing her eyes to widen involuntarily.

"I can make endless mistakes, but you can only make one mistake." Death's Leader's smiling face seemed to declare this.

Without hesitation, the enhanced military prop that defied the laws of physics exploded at point-blank range.

In an instant, it was as if a crimson sun shook the heavens. Ji Yi was blown back, and the Damascus Tang Sword flew in all directions, deeply embedded into a tree dozens of meters away!

Roaring, colliding, the broken street rushed away in a collision, and Ji Yi, covered in blood, created large cracks in the steel and concrete, with her physical abilities on the brink of destruction.

"Ugh... cough..."

Despite reaching her limits of control over her body, Ji Yi endured the excruciating pain, clutching her broken arm as she stood up, her crimson eyes filled with killing intent.

"The game is over."

Having regenerated to an undamaged state, Death's Leader declared indifferently.

He was already tired of this boring duel game.

However—

Death's Leader suddenly sensed a dangerous aura and turned his view towards the ethereal night sky.

A mysterious and unknown black-clothed player stood with his hands behind his back, resembling an elegant and enigmatic gentleman in a tailcoat.

In contrast, Ji Yi couldn't help but stare at the details of this "shadow," her eyes wide with shock.

"Shadow"... He's not at the A-tier.

Her eyebrows furrowed as she scrutinized "shadow" thoroughly.

So...

That's why Qingxian couldn't see through him... the reason is now obvious.

"Shadow"... is not at the A-tier.

With this realization, Ji Yi's expression changed from astonishment to despair.

"Shadow" didn't hide his true strength at all; his power was only at the E-tier's surface level.

An utterly disappointing truth.

"This place doesn't need your interference. Get out of here."

Ji Yi, bearing heavy injuries, reined in her emotions and looked at "shadow" with a stern gaze, saying coldly:

"Even if you have strength beyond the E-tier, and even if you managed to deceive the Seventeenth Bureau's Qingxian, you still can't deal with Death's Leader. Don't meddle here!"

Hearing this warning, "shadow" simply closed his eyes, seemingly savoring the words.

"E-tier? Meddling?" He glanced at Ji Yi with a dangerous look, his deep gaze shaking her soul, almost impossible to disobey.

"When will—I not lose?" His eyes narrowed slightly, and an aura of unfathomable darkness engulfed him.

A city night under the moon's vertical pupils became like entering another dimension, and an endless darkness isolated the space, overwhelming everyone's senses!

"The 100th rank of the E-tier" Sequence title finally appeared, an absurd feeling overwhelming everyone's hearts, as if their understanding had been overturned.

"E-tier, even qualified to judge me?" Ji Yi's pupils contracted, shocked beyond words, forgetting to breathe and feel the pain of her wounds.

...An A-level top-tier ability holder?! No... with less than a thousand psychic points in the E-tier, he possesses such power...

S... tier? Who are you, exactly———
