Chapter 73: JokerX 3
The air was ripped apart by the rifles’ bullets. They tore into the men who were fleeing from Adam. The men let out a scream. Their own friends were shooting them. Adam was unconcerned. Their bodies served a purpose. They served as shields.
The force of the bullets knocked a man backwards. He collided with Adam. Adam remained unmoved. He took hold of the man’s body and shoved it forward. He held it like a flesh wall in front of him. The dead man’s body, not him, was struck by the bullets.
Adam remained composed despite the commotion and yelling. He moved through the chaos like a shadow. He held his knife. It went quickly. A man was stabbed in the side by him.
The man fell and screamed. He slit the throat of another man. The man fell with a wet sound. There were two more dead. Adam was now among them. Despite being all around him, they were too afraid to engage in combat.
He leaped and kicked a corpse away from him. He passed through a doorway nearby. Now he was in a long corridor. He had just been on the wall when the rifle bullets struck it. For a moment, he was safe. He continued to run. He dashed toward the wall. He gave it a forceful kick. His body leaped into the air. Across the hall, he was flying.
The rifle-wielding men in the main room attempted to pursue him.
They shifted their weapons in an attempt to aim. However, he moved too quickly. For a moment, they saw him. In the air, he was merely a vague figure. Then he vanished. They fired their weapons, but all they struck was the empty wall. They were unable to strike him.
He kicked the opposite wall before he could fall. He soared back across the corridor. He fell to the ground. He was as silent as a cat. He knelt down. Then he leaped once more. He kicked the wall again and pushed off the floor. He flew out of the hallway this time. He was returning to the large room.
He was headed straight for the rifle-wielding men. He was an animal in his movements. He jumped from tree to tree like a monkey. On the ground, the men were merely slow hunters.
They continued to fire their weapons. There was a lot of noise. It was really noisy. They were attempting to flee by going backwards. They were attempting to target the boy who was moving too quickly. They were blind to his approaching proximity.
Then he appeared.
He was in the air for a second. He was standing directly beside them the next moment.
