Illimitable Until Death Chapter 229

Chapter 229

“Hū————!”
A fierce wind swept through, causing the wind turbines surrounding the open space island to start rotating.
In the open space, enclosed by the whirling wind turbines, Fang Li and Tohyama Kinji stood facing each other, creating a tense atmosphere around them.
In this situation, even the most obtuse person would realize that things were no longer simple.
Staring at the intense gaze from Tohyama Kinji, Fang Li narrowed his eyes and asked, “Didn’t you swear off being a Butei? Why did you enter Hysteria Mode again?”
Tohyama Kinji didn’t respond; he merely stared at Fang Li and only spoke after some time, “Where’s Kanzaki San? Isn’t she with you?”
“Aria?” Fang Li raised an eyebrow, a half-smile forming as he spoke. “You, the most girl-hating guy, are actually asking about Aria’s whereabouts. Is it possible that you’ve entered this playboy mode as well?”
Tohyama Kinji finally fell silent upon hearing those words.
It wasn’t because he couldn’t get the answer he wanted, but because he already had the answer.
Shortly afterward, Tohyama Kinji slowly raised his hand.
“Kacha…”
The sound of a bullet being loaded mixed with the wind’s noise, echoing clearly.
In Tohyama Kinji’s hand, raised deliberately was his modified Beretta was held tightly, its barrel pointed in Fang Li’s direction.
“Hū————!”
The raging wind blew once again, lifting the outer coats of the bulletproof vests worn by Fang Li and Tohyama Kinji.
Fang Li only looked at Tohyama Kinji, who had his Beretta aimed at him, maintaining an unchanged expression on his face.
“Because you entered Hysteria Mode and got itchy hands, you longed for some Assault-like Butei training with me.” Fang Li looked directly at Tohyama Kinji and spoke indifferently, “It seems that’s not the case.”
“…You can stay here for now.” Tohyama Kinji’s voice carried a somewhat cold tone as he continued, “Stay put and behave. After this is over, you can do whatever you want.”
Having heard this far, Fang Li somewhat understood Tohyama Kinji’s intentions.
Although he didn’t know the details, Tohyama Kinji surely knew something.
And whatever Tohyama Kinji knew, while Fang Li might be in the dark about it, if left alone, it would certainly be destroyed.
That’s why Tohyama Kinji had called Fang Li out and intended to confine him here.
Of course, for Tohyama Kinji, this might be an unavoidable action. However, for Fang Li, it might not be a good thing.
Thinking back to Tohyama Kinji’s earlier question, Fang Li immediately grasped a crucial point.
“So that’s how it is.” Fang Li murmured, “Are you planning something concerning Aria?”
Tohyama Kinji fell silent once more.
However, Fang Li distinctly saw a hint of confusion flicker in Tohyama Kinji’s eyes.
It was as if he was struggling with something.
Clearly, whatever Tohyama Kinji knew, it would be extremely detrimental to Aria, even dangerously so.
Yet, it was something that had to be done.
Hence, Tohyama Kinji’s internal conflict.
Understanding this was sufficient.
Without hesitation, Fang Li turned around, ready to leave.
“Bang————!”
The next second, the sound of a gunshot suddenly rang out.
“Clang————!”
A bullet landed heavily near Fang Li’s feet, creating sparks as it scraped against the ground.
“Don’t push me…” Tohyama Kinji gritted his teeth and spoke in a hoarse voice, “I don’t want to shoot you.”
Hearing this, Fang Li didn’t pause; he continued walking forward.
“Bang Bang————!”
This time, two gunshots rang out.
However, this time, the bullets weren’t just aimed near Fang Li’s feet; they were heading directly for his body.
Sensing the threat from behind, Fang Li swiftly sidestepped.
The two bullets grazed Fang Li’s side and flew violently into the distance.
Almost simultaneously, Fang Li turned around and locked eyes with Tohyama Kinji.
“Bang————!”
With the sound of a gunshot, a flash erupted in front of Fang Li.
It was the Invisible Bullet.
However, in the next instant, Fang Li was taken aback.
“Bang————!”
Almost as Fang Li fired the Invisible Bullet, a flash erupted from Tohyama Kinji’s direction as well.
It was a sign of using the Invisible Bullet.
Tohyama Kinji had also unleashed the Invisible Bullet.
No.
Not just the Invisible Bullet.
Tohyama Kinji’s Beretta had undergone modifications. It wasn’t just capable of fully automatic shooting; it could also shoot two bullets simultaneously.
At this moment, Tohyama Kinji had set his Beretta to fire in the two-shot mode, using the trick of the Invisible Bullet. He had managed to fire two bullets along their original trajectory using the Invisible Bullet’s technique.
“Clang————!”
The first bullet collided heavily with Fang Li’s fired bullet in midair, sparking intense flames in the air.
The two bullets collided in midair and flicked against each other, moving even faster than before, tracing back their original paths.
“Clang————!”
Shortly afterward, the second bullet fired by Tohyama Kinji collided heavily with the first bullet, which was now flicked back toward him.
However, Fang Li’s bullet, fired using the Invisible Bullet technique, had an unobstructed path, and it flew back violently.
Since both sides were using the Invisible Bullet technique, the entire process was incredibly brief, and the speed of such a process was almost unimaginable.
In this extremely brief moment, Fang Li couldn’t even reholster his Glock that he had taken out of his bracelet space extremely fast and fired.
As a result, the bullet that had been flicked back hit the muzzle of the Glock.
“Bang————!”
With an explosive sound, Fang Li’s Glock ruptured in his hand and was destroyed.
Fang Li was utterly stunned.
As for Tohyama Kinji, he closed his eyes and spoke slowly.
“Mirror…”
————Mirror.
A skill that combines offense and defense, redirecting the opponent’s bullets back toward their own barrel.
Utilizing the Invisible Bullet technique and his Beretta’s two-shot capability, Tohyama Kinji had executed this move.
Without the Invisible Bullet technique, Tohyama Kinji wouldn’t have been able to keep up with Fang Li’s shooting.
Without the Beretta’s two-shot capability, when the two bullets collided and were flicked back, Tohyama Kinji’s gun would have suffered the same fate as Fang Li’s, exploding from the impact of the returning bullets.
“This isn’t the first time I’ve seen the Invisible Bullet. How many times have I lost to this move in your hands? Did you think I’d be unprepared and just let you stop me here?”
Tohyama Kinji realigned his gun toward Fang Li and spoke in a low voice.
“I’ll say it again, stay put here obediently.”
