Illimitable Until Death Chapter 218

Published at 12th of September 2023 06:59:36 AM

At this moment, the atmosphere in the air changed subtly.

“Fang Li…” Aria seemed like she wanted to say something, but faced with Fang Li’s undeniable gaze, she fell silent.

Though the time she had spent with Fang Li wasn’t long, Aria could understand even without relying on intuition that this transformed Fang Li was unstoppable by anyone.

And even Aria could grasp the fact that Riko, who had spent a year with Fang Li, could naturally not fail to understand something so simple as this.

Furthermore, Riko understood something else.

That was, Fang Li was angry.

Even if he didn’t show it, there was no doubt that Fang Li was angry.

What was he angry about?

It was something that needed no question.

“Riko,” Fang Li looked straight at Riko, saying slowly, “If you obediently apologize now, I can pretend like nothing happened.”

That’s right.

Fang Li’s anger wasn’t because Riko had kept things from him.

After all, everyone had their secrets.

In that regard, compared to Fang Li, what Riko hid wasn’t much at all.

However, Fang Li couldn’t help but be angry about the fact that Riko had positioned herself against him.

So, Fang Li’s anger wasn’t directed at a person, but rather at the current situation.

“I’ve said before and I will say it again, I’m a person who seeks retribution. If you apologize now, there’s still time. Otherwise, you should know that I’m not the type to go easy on anyone,” Fang Li addressed Riko as he spoke in a measured tone.

The air immediately grew tense.

Even Aria, at this moment, couldn’t help but hold her breath.

However, Riko’s response was as unyielding as ever. It might be more accurate to say that Riko seemed even more spirited.

“Fantastic…” Riko licked her lips, her gaze burning as she looked at Fang Li, and said, “Although Riko likes Li Li’s gentle side, what Riko truly adores is the way Li Li looks in battle.”

“When I saw Li Li ruthlessly take down all those who challenged him back in the Assault Division, I was captivated. Being able to fight alongside such a Li Li, Riko is truly content beyond measure.”

Saying this, Riko raised her Walter handgun, aiming it at Fang Li, and declared loudly.

“Come! Let me see the power of Olmes’ partner!”

With Riko’s words, silence began to fill the air.

Fang Li lifted his gaze, looking at Riko, who was staring at him with determination. He sighed.

“Indeed, shouldn’t bad children be punished first before anything else?”

As his words dropped, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Without any warning, a flash burst forth before Fang Li.

“Clang—!”

Sparks followed the explosion.

It was a spark that had erupted from Riko’s hand.

Before she could even react, a bullet had struck Riko’s gun-wielding hand, causing a burst of sparks and sending her Walter flying.

“—!”

Feeling the intense impact in her hand, Riko’s eyes widened.

There was no need for explanation; even if she had to guess, Riko could tell what had happened.

Without a doubt, she had been hit by a gunshot.

Even though she was on high alert.

Even though she had encountered this invisible gunshot before.

But in this split second, Riko couldn’t react in time.

That’s the Invisible Bullet.

Like the drawing sword technique, when the speed of drawing the sword reaches a certain point, it becomes more terrifying than slashing with the same speed.

And the Invisible Bullet was the handgun version of the drawing sword technique.

This move was even more terrifying than what Riko had understood.

—!

In the next moment, Riko raised her other hand, aiming the remaining Walter at Fang Li.

Bang—!

A muffled gunshot rang out all around.

However, it wasn’t Riko firing.

The gunshot had already sounded the moment Riko raised her gun.

Clang—!

As Riko lifted her gun, another spark blossomed.

The incoming bullet violently knocked away Riko’s other gun, disarming her completely.

“Ugh…!” Riko immediately covered her numb arm, retreating involuntarily.

However, Fang Li’s voice reached Riko’s ears.

“Since you can’t see my gunshots, then you shouldn’t be pulling away, or else, what odds of success do you have?”

In the instant his words fell, a glint appeared once again.

Bang—!

The unseen bullet effortlessly closed the distance between Fang Li and Riko, finally landing on Riko’s bulletproof vest.

Pa—!

It made a sound like a whip heavily striking a body.

“Ugh…!” Riko couldn’t help but let out a groan from her throat, clutching her stomach as if she had been struck hard.

But this time, Riko actually took Fang Li’s words to heart, refraining from easily creating distance. She stood her ground, her steps steady.

However, not creating distance was still ineffective.

With her guns gone, Riko had to find a way to close in on Fang Li; otherwise, she had no chance of defeating him.

So, what should she do?

“Let’s use this!”

Riko reached into her clothing, pulling out something resembling a grenade. She aimed it at Fang Li and hurled it with force.

Clang—!

The grenade immediately burst into dazzling light, illuminating the top of the entire oil tanker in an instant.

“A flash bomb?!” Aria couldn’t help but raise her hand, shielding herself.

Even Fang Li, caught off guard, was blinded by the intense light.

In that instant, Riko forcefully pushed off the ground, charging toward Fang Li’s direction.

Shortly afterward, an incredible scene unfolded.

Buzz—!

Riko’s hair suddenly emitted a red glow.

Under that crimson light, her hair seemed to transform into writhing snakes, undulating like serpents in motion.

In the blink of an eye, Riko picked up her two Walter handguns from the ground. Her bound-up hair moved like two hands, curling around the dagger-like sharp blades concealed at her waist and pulling them out.

Dual guns in hand.

Twin blades entwined in her hair.

Just like Aria’s moniker, Riko was truly living up to the name of a dual swords and guns expert.

“I win!”

Filled with the conviction of her impending victory, Riko suddenly leaped towards Fang Li, her sharp blades in her hair aimed to strike at him.

However, Riko failed to notice.

In front of her, the figure that had been shrouded by the flash had already disappeared.
