Jet Step Back, Body Contact Counts as Gun Miss

"What's going on? Empty?"

[Setting Sun] instantly became alert, but it was already too late.

The square block behind the wall moved!

"Damn it!"

[Setting Sun] didn't take any chances. Instinctively, he activated Wyvern's jetpack skill.

In his memory, except for their team using the Ten Directions Spirit Subduing Formation, no one could react to a sudden jet-propelled retreat.

But that impression was about to change.

Lu Ze peeked out with an extremely small angle, and under [Setting Sun]'s despairing gaze, spirit bullets poured out like a tidal wave.

[Setting Sun] was still mid-flight from his jetpack when he turned into a corpse, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Fucking hell! He has formation support too!?"

[Setting Sun] was terrified.

Because he died far too quickly, far too suddenly.

When he opened the damage statistics, he gasped.

Three spirit bullets to the head, zero damage to armor.

"How did you die?"

[Black Serpent] had just arrived at the corridor area and was about to flank from the first floor, completely unaware of what had happened in the hallway.

[Twilight] swapped in spirit bullets and urged loudly:

"Old Black, get over here fast. This kid is unnerving...!"

...

Heavenly Dao Live Stream.

One viewing area after another erupted with roaring, sea-like cheers.

[What just happened?! What did I just witness!?]

[An air-frag! Such a sick air-frag!!]

[Is this still that Lu the Demon who only aims at feet...]

[Possessed?]

[How is this not Lu the Demon anymore? Who uses their ass to peek a corner?]

[Learned! Totally learned!]

[I learned the butt-peek trick, but how do I learn three shots destroying full armor?]

[Is Surge really this insane?]

...

...

"Zzzt—"

A spirit arrow pressed against the wall in front of Lu Ze.

"Oh? Finally decided to use items?"

Lu Ze raised an eyebrow.

After taking down the first Wyvern, he didn't let his guard down.

The biggest threat was always that [Death], in other words, the AWM from his past life.

Level 7 red bullets. Absolute equality for all.

Footsteps from the first floor were getting closer, clearly trying to pincer him.

"If they surround me, it won't be easy to handle, right?" Zhou Yue said with concern.

"Sister Li, tell me: what should you do in this situation in a solo-triple match?" Lu Ze asked with a smile.

"..."

Li Moran clenched her fist, wanting to punch Lu Ze.

Though he called her "Sister," his tone was more like that of a master.

"In a 1v3, the most important thing is to split them up..."

"Right now, the Wyvern is down, Luna is on the second floor, and Red Wolf is on the first floor. That's a perfect split."

"So what needs to be done now..."

"Is to attack one of them."

Li Moran closed her eyes, trying to put herself in that situation.

Luna had full armor and [Death], making her the biggest threat.

In comparison, Red Wolf didn't have full armor and was at a low-ground disadvantage, making him the better target.

"Generally speaking, jumping down directly to attack Red Wolf is indeed the optimal choice..."

As if reading Li Moran's thoughts, Lu Ze sprinted to the railing and stepped onto it.

...

Corridor.

[Twilight] held his breath, his eyes locked onto Lu Ze's square indicator.

It moved!

[Twilight] instantly became alert.

But Lu Ze didn't launch an attack. Instead, he ran toward the railing...

Before using the Ten Directions Spirit Subduing Formation, [Twilight] had been a moderately skilled player.

Now, he immediately realized Lu Ze's plan.

"Old Black, watch out! He's about to jump down and grab you!!"

[Twilight] shouted loudly, quickly stowing away [Death] and charging toward Lu Ze's position.

Seeing Lu Ze's indicator jump over the railing, [Twilight] stopped hesitating and sped up...

...

At the same time.

Lu Ze, now airborne, listened to the footsteps closing in behind him. A faint, scheming smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"...But in this particular situation..."

"You have to go against the grain."

With that thought, he activated his jetpack and propelled himself backward.

...

Behind Lu Ze.

"Old Black, watch your head. I'll hit him from behind on the second floor. You..."

Just as [Twilight] was about to round the corner, his breath hitched—

A strange figure rapidly shot backward, moving so fast his eyes couldn't keep up!

"...Fuck!"

By the time [Twilight] tried to pull the trigger, it was already far too late.

Golden spirit bullets slammed onto his head in rapid succession!

...

Spirit Cloud Sect Viewing Area.

Zhong Yi watched the scene with rapt fascination and exclaimed excitedly:

"Junior Brother Lu wanted to jump down and pick on Red Wolf..."

"[Twilight] realized Junior Brother Lu's plan and wanted to rush over to hit his back!"

"Junior Brother Lu realized that [Twilight] realized his plan, so he used the jetpack to retreat and reverse the position!"

"So brilliant, so insane!"

"[Twilight]'s precognitive ability was utterly useless against Junior Brother Lu! He was caught completely off guard!"

"Junior Brother Lu sent [Twilight] away with three spirit bullets to the head, though [Twilight] got one shot on Junior Brother Lu's chest..."

"Now it's just Junior Brother Lu and Red Wolf in a 1v1!"

...

...

Prison, Second Floor.

Zhou Yue and Li Moran stared at the scene in utter shock.

They both knew Lu Ze was strong.

But neither of them knew just how strong.

Taking out two fully armored players with six spirit bullets was within their realm of understanding—aim could be trained.

But that jet-propelled step-back operation was truly breathtaking.

"You're no weaker than them. You just lack experience."

Lu Ze put on his fully intact armor, healing up as he spoke.

Against these cheater-level opponents from his past life, they couldn't compare.

Zhou Yue and Li Moran's gaming talent would stand out even among professionals; they weren't without a fighting chance.

But after all, "Fairy Abyss Frontier" had only been out for two months, and players' tactical development was still shallow.

Otherwise, even just one Luna's item suppression would've been enough to suffocate these low-level cheaters.

"That jetpack move... did you plan it before jumping?"

Li Moran took a deep breath and asked.

"Yeah."

Lu Ze nodded.

He knew clearly that the enemy was wall-hacking, seeing his every move.

Taking the initiative to attack while a cheating scope-user with [Death] was directly aiming at him would've been suicide.

He had to trick them into coming to him.

Hence that maneuver just now.

"And the headshots...?"

Zhou Yue asked out of curiosity.

Two people had died, and their armor didn't take a single point of damage. That was simply too insane.

"Ah? Don't you guys aim for the head?"

Luze blinked innocently, pretending not to understand.

"Aiming for the body is considered a missed shot!"

"...I shouldn't have asked."

Zhou Yue's fists clenched too.

"Next..."

Lu Ze was fully healed. The steps of the last member of [Twilight of the End] had reached the stairwell, hesitating, never daring to advance.

Earlier, while facing three enemies with full armor and [Death], Lu Ze had been under some pressure.

But now that all the equipment had fallen into his hands, the situation was completely different.

"It's just a stomp now."
