Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Chapter 128 Showdown

Seeing Pierce take out the second arrow from his pocket, Zhong Chenmu's pupils constricted and his adrenaline was burning in his body.

He assessed the distance between him and Pierce; it was still a bit far, about twenty meters away. Otherwise, he would have been hit by that arrow. At this point, it was no longer feasible to try to stop him or even seize the crossbow; he could only dodge.

He exerted force with his legs and quickly jumped to the place where the crossbow had just fallen.

As soon as his body left the spot, the second arrow shot past the place where he had been standing.

Zhong Chenmu didn't say anything, but just stared at Pierce's movements.

At this time, action is everything and any words are redundant.

In those movies, the two people quarrel for half an hour before the showdown, which is purely due to the plot requirements. When such a life-and-death situation arises, how can you waste your time doing such a thing?

Zhong Chenmu was carrying a dagger, which was an advanced weapon prepared by their puzzle team to deal with the characteristics of the bows and crossbows of the Pu Yue and Mei Yue teams. However, the team on the ground was also equipped with shields, and he had thrown away his shield when he jumped down just now.

So, he first needs to make sure that he is not shot by Pierce, and the good thing is that the arrows in the pocket or quiver behind Pierce cannot be infinite.

"He shoots one, I pick one up. He shoots two, I pick up a pair. Eventually I'll pick them all up. It's like a handmade version of the straw boat borrowing arrows..."

As he thought about it, he slowly walked towards Pierce, his eyes fixed on the crossbow.

Once the crossbow moved, he moved sideways.

At this time, you can use words to distract the other person.

"Old man, you finally came out. It seems you are not a coward. Or, you are still afraid of being buried in the sea of ​​fire. Don't be anxious. Ejaculate slowly. You are old and can't ejaculate continuously. It is not good for your health."

Zhong Chenmu said contemptuously.

He suddenly realized that saying harsh words to people, especially those he disliked, actually... felt quite good.

Sure enough, Pierce shook his whole body and shot another arrow!

Zhong Chenmu jumped to the left to avoid it and continued to walk towards him.

As he got closer to him, Zhong Chenmu's pace became slower and slower, and his attention became more focused.

Pierce finally spoke, and even though three arrows missed, his voice remained steady and majestic.

"You're courting death, boy! You're a minor, and you want to participate in our game? You want to be the winner? Don't dream! I valued your talent, so I had high hopes for you and took good care of you. I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person, born to rebel. Today, I'll show you who the real king is!"

Zhong Chenmu was not distracted by his words, but kept his attention on his hands and crossbow.

He didn't move.

Obviously, Pierce also realized that after three shots missed, the remaining arrows were getting fewer and fewer, and they had to be kept until the last moment.

Since you choose to start bickering, then go ahead, everyone has a mouth.

Zhong Chenmu made a disgusted expression. "Listen to your rotten words, 'rebel', 'king', what's in your head? Although Wuming City is a broken civilization, it is also a civilization that has long passed the era of imperial power. Imperfect advancement is much better than perfect backwardness! As for betrayal, is it you who betrayed the original intention of the Prophet Society, or me? Do you think we are all blind? Are the people of the Jigsaw Team all blind? Are the imperfect ones all blind? Are the people of Wuming City all blind?"

Pierce's pupils trembled. "Stop bluffing here. Why are you bringing up the people of Wuming City? The number of people participating in this game is only one ten-thousandth of the population of Wuming City."

"Really?" Zhong Chenmu laughed. "Why do you think none of your men have come down to rescue you until now? --Yes, rescue you. Since you like to use such decadent words, I will send you a few more. Because your subjects are all being held up there, surrounded, being annihilated, or surrendering to us. Why is this so? Is it because our weapons are more advanced than yours? No, it's because many people in Wuming City support us and participate in this counterattack against you. 'One in ten thousand'? That's for you. For me, it's one hundred percent, no, ninety-nine point nine percent. You are just the small handful left."

He kept his tone light and sarcastic, knowing it was a good opportunity to goad Pierce into firing his arrows, thereby depleting his stock.

Sure enough, another arrow came.

Zhong Chenmu dodged quickly.

Although he had been keeping an eye on Pierce's movements, he almost didn't have time to react because the distance between them was further shortened.

The arrow grazed his left arm and cut a hole in his clothes.

Fortunately, it hasn't rubbed my skin yet.

But a chill came in from the opening, causing Zhong Chenmu to shiver unconsciously.

"I have to ask Mr. Liang for new clothes again..."

Zhong Chenmu further focused his attention.

At this time, he was only ten meters away from Pierce. At this distance, he could only rely on advance prediction to completely avoid the arrow shot by the other party.

He took small steps, moving slowly along the tangent of a circle with Pierce as the center and the distance between them as the radius, while paying attention to possible obstacles on the entire circumference of the circle.

Pierce was obviously not stupid and had realized Zhong Chenmu's motives.

He snorted, "Want to use up all my arrows? I'll see if you have the luck to do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards Zhong Chenmu. At the same time, he took out another arrow from the pocket behind him and put it into the crossbow. But when he pointed the crossbow at Zhong Chenmu again, he found that he had disappeared.
