Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1682: Game of Life and Death Between Xu and Si

Si Yiyan picked up the bullet that was dodged by Xu Zhenyu, softly saying, “The aiming speed is now 2 seconds faster than before, and the firing angle is precise to 0.2 units. The firing response speed has been increased by 0.5 seconds, and its range has increased by two meters—really high quality.”

In only a few short days, the fact that he made such great improvements actually surprised him.

Upon mention of the soldiers under him, Xu Zhenyu was gleeful. “Of course, look who’s in charge of them! The troops that I train can’t be bad at all.”

Si Yiyan remained silent.

Xu Zhenyu could do not many things well, but he had a hand for training soldiers. The troops under him all respected him and were compliant.

Xu Zhenyu took a sniper rifle from the racks and seemed eager to try it as he said, “Back when I was in Xi Bei, I was known for being a sharpshooter. Would you like to try competing with me?”

Xu Zhenyu held the gun and started to perform all sorts of precision aiming, testing the feel of the gun, and refining his accuracy.

All their rifles, ammunition and military gear were all supplied by Ninth Si and were all high-quality goods that were hard to get on their own.

“Not interested!”

It was not that he was unwilling to try and compete, but he felt that by competing with Xu Zhenyu, he would be bullying him.

He had been trained in “Gaze Art” since he was young, and what he was best at was close-quarter combat and shooting. Since five, he had been exposed to various types of guns and weaponry, and by seven he could shoot on his own. By ten, he was accurately hitting the hearts of his enemies.

Xu Zhenyu competing with him in shooting would be a totally masochistic move.

“In the Xi Bei camp, they’re still talking about my sharpshooter stories. Don’t tell me you’re scared?”

Xu Zhenyu picked out a sniper rifle that he was satisfied with and tried firing a few rounds from different shooting angles, with each round landing on the bullseye. Upon the end of the shooting, he blew out the smoke from his muzzle and raised his eyebrows at Ninth Si.

It was clearly a provocative move and needed no words.

“Such a coercive move is useless on me.”

Si Yiyan had already gotten used to Xu Zhenyu’s random, provocative challenges over some time, and he was able to deal with it easily.

Xu Zhenyu laughed out loud and said, “If challenging you like that is useless, perhaps I could change to another method.”

Xu Zhenyu knew that Ninth Si’s marksmanship was good, and even learned that his sharpshooting was uniquely good. However, this did not mean that he would lose to Ninth Si in such a challenge.

Ninth Si’s godly sharpshooting skills aroused the competitiveness in him.

Si Yiyan frowned slightly.

Xu Zhenyu said, “The mission I’m about to carry out carries a huge risk, and we may not have another chance to battle. Why don’t we have a contest now so that I can die with no regrets.”

Upon finishing his sentence, he raised his rifle, aimed it at Ninth Si, and pulled the trigger instantly.

“Bang—” A gunshot sounded.

Si Yiyan dodged the bullet that was flying towards him.

“I don’t believe that you can dodge all my bullets!”

Xu Zhenyu’s was fierce and ruthless with his words. With his sniper rifle, he kept aiming it at Ninth Si and kept shooting. The sounds of reloading and that of the bullet shells dropping on the floor could be heard clearly as the sound of killing on the smoke-filled battlefield.

Xu Zhenyu was quick and skilled with his rifle.

Si Yiyan managed to dodge faster than the bullets could hit him. In the shooting area, Ninth Si was dexterous, and in the midst of the smoke and the shooting, his movements looked like a spectacular performance.

His first jump, roll, side dodge, back lean and flip was so precise and efficient that there were no unnecessary movements. It was incredibly swift to the point where it was unbelievable, as the combination of strength and agility was breathtaking and impressive.

The soldiers surrounding the area were all shocked.

The fact that the same action could be achieved to such an extent changed everyone’s perception.

The fact that someone could be so strong was too unbelievable.

“Wheet!”

Xu Zhenyu whistled, and the speed of shooting increased.

His shots were ruthless and accurate. There were barely any uncovered spots, and it seemed as if he was shooting at his enemy instead of facing his ally.

“Brilliant!” Xu Zhenyu shouted as he pulled the trigger.

This was Xu Zhenyu’s first time witnessing Ninth Si’s power. It was quite unbelievable indeed. He admitted that he would not be able to achieve such a feat.

“The game can end here.”

Suddenly, a loud sound was heard, and Xu Zhenyu’s hands were subdued. The gun in his hands was taken away, and he was kicked to the ground.

The cemented ground was covered with mud, and Xu Zhenyu fell to the ground and his face ended up covered in mud, with his mouth full of ash.

After that, before he had time to react, a gun was pointed to his head.

Si Yiyan looked at him coldly as if he were looking at a dead man. Behind him, there was a man dressed in a similar black combat outfit, aiming his gun at him from a different angle.

Upon seeing this, Xu Zhenyu realized that he had screwed up.

“Keep your gun,” Xu Zhenyu said.

The two men behind him retreated and kept their guns away. However, the aggression in them was still evident.

Si Yiyan backed away slowly, his heavy boots stepping on the ground, giving off an eerie sound. After three steps, he said, “In this world, those who dare point a gun at me must pay the price, and you’re no exception.”

Then, he cocked his gun.

Just like before, Xu Zhenyu wanted to hide. However, the moment the gun was pointed at him, he lost his chance to do so. A gunshot was heard, and Xu Zhenyu felt an intense burning sensation in his arm.

The group of soldiers under Xu Zhenyu did not have time to react.

Xu Zhenyu looked down at his arm. His black combat outfit had been torn apart by the bullet. The bullet had gone through his flesh, leaving a large opening that was bleeding fresh blood. The part that was shot was the part that he had aimed at previously, not an inch further.

He had already given him a chance.

Si Yiyan asked indifferently, “You want to compete with me in gun skills?”

As Xu Zhenyu slowly stood up, his eyes fell on Ninth Si’s cuff. There was a hole in the sleeves due to the bullet, but his flesh had not been harmed.

“It seems like I did not get hurt for nothing,” Xu Zhenyu said.

Si Yiyan ignored him and retrieved a rifle from the shelf; the model was exactly the same as the one Xu Zhenyu used.

There was no need for a judge to decide that when both of them aimed at the same target and shot at the same time, both of them hit the target.

However, Xu Zhenyu still lost.

Although they used the same gun and aimed at the same time, Si Yiyan’s bullet was a little faster at hitting the target.

Si Yiyan threw down the gun in his hand and said, “I learned different skills from you. I learned how to kill with a gun, how to aim accurately at a target and how to shoot moving targets. These all aim to be a good shooter to kill without mercy. However, what you learned was how to shoot for the country, for the service of the people. What you learned stemmed from kindness.”

Xu Zhenyu was silent.

“I kill because I want to kill, you kill because you wish to save. We are fundamentally different. This is the last time. Don’t ever provoke me again.” After saying this, Si Yiyan turned around and left.
