Zhang Hai Ke moved incredibly fast. The moment the rope snapped,
He was already in front of the bandit, grabbing the gun and disarming him with a swift maneuver.
Without any hesitation, he twisted the bandit's head with his foot, snapping his neck.
This was the most common killing technique of the Zhang family, they preferred breaking their enemies' necks.
This would instantly cripple the opponent's spine, preventing them from retaliating even in death.
It was much faster than stabbing the heart.
Seeing Zhang Hai Ke's strength, Zhang Bei also tried to break free from his own ropes.
“Damn it! Why? I used so many word points!”
However, to Zhang Bei's dismay, he couldn't break free from the ropes.
It was clear that in terms of strength, he was still far behind.
“Bang!”
Seeing Zhang Hai Ke’s display of power, the others also snapped their ropes.
“Xiao Guan, help me!”
Zhang Bei wasn't one to be stubborn, as he saw Zhang Nian and the others already engaging in combat.
For him, these were all word points!
“Bang!”
Xiao Guan saw Zhang Bei's plea for help and snapped his ropes.
Although he had two word points, Zhang Bei didn't try to be a hero.
His only advantages were his agility and accuracy.
Compared to them, he was far behind.
By now, everyone had already dealt with a bandit.
So, Zhang Bei did a somersault, picking up the gun that had fallen to the ground.
“Bang!”
Without any hesitation, Zhang Bei raised the gun and shot at one of the bandits.
With the word point "Accuracy", Zhang Bei's marksmanship, whether with a gun, bow, or throwing knife, was incredibly accurate.
The bullet hit the bandit's forehead, eliminating him.
Without pausing, he immediately fired at another bandit.
“Bang!”
With the gunshot, the bandit fell, another headshot.
But as Zhang Bei prepared to kill the next one, he realized everyone else had already finished.
“Damn it! Are you guys stealing my kills?” Zhang Bei was incredibly frustrated.
His frustration quickly faded as the system prompt arrived after his kill.
“Killed enemy, looted random word point, obtained white word point: Strength!”
“Killed enemy, looted random word point, obtained white word point: Dull Talent!”
Although these were the two lowest-grade white word points, Zhang Bei was still very happy.
“Haha! With this cheat, becoming a master is just a matter of time!”
Zhang Bei’s heart filled with joy.
“Pfft! Dealing with a few thieves and using guns, what a disgrace.
As expected, you're the same as the wild child, both of you are useless.”
Zhang Hai Xing looked down on Zhang Bei and Xiao Guan, directly mocking them.
Since Xiao Guan helped Zhang Bei break free from the ropes, he didn't kill anyone.
Therefore, they naturally assumed that Xiao Guan wasn't any kind of master.
Xiao Guan remained calm and indifferent to Zhang Hai Xing's mockery.
Zhang Bei had been mocked by them since childhood, and it was already a familiar experience.
But he had his cheat, and soon his strength would surpass theirs.
Besides, even now, he wasn't completely helpless against them.
“What are you looking at? You two are just unlucky stars, and you're from the inner clan! Pfft.
Going wild with the two of you is just bad luck. If not for you two dragging us down,
We would have finished the mission long ago. Now we have made zero progress.”
Zhang Nian was also a straightforward person. He looked down on everyone because of his abilities and spoke with a sense of resentment.
Ignoring their taunts, Zhang Bei picked up another bandit’s rifle.
This was a German M1888 rifle, the so-called Hanyang rifle was a copy of this model.
Its range was short, and its power wasn't that strong, but it could still kill within a hundred meters.
The reason they were tied up was because the bandits initially planned to kidnap them.
But after bringing them back, they found out they were all poor kids and decided to kill them to silence them.
They were already close to the bandits' lair, and the gunshots from earlier would likely attract more bandits.
“Do you want this?” Zhang Bei offered the gun to Xiao Guan.
Xiao Guan shook his head, refusing to take the gun.
Zhang Bei knew Xiao Guan was strong, so he didn't force him.
He then collected a few daggers from the ground, which could be used as throwing knives.
“Alright, we are still a team.” Zhang Hai Ke said.
Zhang Hai Xing said with disdain, “One without parents and one the biggest loser of the clan.
Following us into the wild is a dead end, it's better to die here and get it over with.”
The others agreed with Zhang Hai Xing.
“It's just… ”
Just as Zhang Nian was about to speak, they suddenly heard the sound of galloping horses.
Looking into the distance, they saw a group of bandits rushing out of the forest.
These must be the bandit’s accomplices, and their numbers were not small.
There were at least twenty or thirty of them, armed with knives and guns. Anyone else would have been scared to death.
But for them, the Zhang family, it was nothing.
Soon, the bandits spread out, surrounding them.
“You dare kill our men, brothers, finish them off!”
The bandit leader, riding a horse, looked at the corpses on the ground and was furious.
He immediately drew his gun and fired at Xiao Guan, who was at the front.
“Bang!”
Xiao Guan simply tilted his head and dodged the bullet. His reaction time was incredibly fast.
“Bang!”
But as the bandit fired, Zhang Bei also fired, killing the bandit leader with a single shot.
“Killed enemy, looted random word point, obtained white word point: Strength!”
Xiao Guan also charged forward. His speed was very fast, when Zhang Bei killed the bandit leader.
He had already taken out another one and was going for the next one.
His speed wasn't slower than Zhang Bei's with the gun.
“Bang!”
Zhang Bei was not to be outdone and began firing continuously.
“Obtained white word point: Strength!”
“Obtained white word point: Clumsy Technique!”
“Obtained white word point: Dull Talent!”
“Obtained white word point: Precision!”
…
As Zhang Bei continuously fired and harvested the bandits' lives.
The pile of white word points grew.
Watching the system prompts flash continuously, Zhang Bei was already in a state of bliss.
It was as if these weren't people but mosquitoes, killing them brought no guilt.
Zhang Nian and the others were shocked by Zhang Bei and Xiao Guan's actions.
They never thought these two would be so ruthless, killing without hesitation.
Zhang Bei ran out of bullets in his handgun and picked up the rifle he had taken.
This rifle only held five bullets, and every shot required reloading.
This significantly slowed down Zhang Bei's killing speed.
In the end, Zhang Bei only killed sixteen, while the remaining twenty or so were all killed by Xiao Guan.
Zhang Bei felt a bit of regret. If he had killed them all, it would have been so much better.
And these were just ordinary people, so the word points they dropped were only white word points.
“System, activate random fusion upgrade!”
Looking at the countless white word points, they were useless on their own.
So, Zhang Bei didn't hesitate to fuse and upgrade them.
“Consuming seven white word points to start fusion upgrade!”
“Congratulations, host, obtained blue word point: Average Talent!”
“Congratulations, host, obtained blue word point: Ancestor Revival!”
“Congratulations, host, obtained blue word point: Powerful Strength!”
“Insufficient word points, please continue your efforts, host!”
Looking at the system prompt, Zhang Bei was overjoyed, but he was still confused about these word points.
He understood "Average Talent", after all.
Before, his talent was dull, and even after learning Zhang family techniques for so many years, he hadn't made much progress.
This "Average Talent" was definitely better than before, at least now he had a new understanding of what he learned in the past.
“Ancestor Revival: Awaken ancestral bloodline!”
“Powerful Strength: Makes Strength even more powerful!”
Looking at the explanations for the word points, Zhang Bei was ecstatic.
The "Ancestor Revival" in particular made him incredibly excited.
He was originally from the main family, with a high bloodline purity.
But now, this "Ancestor Revival" word point significantly enhanced his bloodline.
Carefully sensing himself, Zhang Bei discovered that he was now countless times stronger than before.
