Chapter 124. The intense battle.

The moment Alex's gaze landed on him, he swiftly hoisted his gun, aligning the sights towards Elder Jie Zhao. His fingers twitched on the trigger, sending forth a Death Bullet with the single intent of annihilating the elder's skull.

Elder Jie Zhao, with his finely tuned instincts, recognized the impending threat. Abruptly, he discarded his strategy and pitched himself onto the ground, rolling away with a hair's breadth from where the deadly projectile was destined to detonate.

Despite the elder's evasion, Alex remained resolute. His grip tightened on his gun, lifting it once more. His eyes traced the trajectory of Elder Jie Zhao's desperate roll, calculating where to aim his next shot to ensure a successful hit.

As he was about to squeeze the trigger, a sudden movement at the periphery of his vision stopped him. It was Elder Liang, charging at him with a speed that suggested he had finally purged the debilitating death energy from his system.
