Bullet bending is a supernatural ability that can be acquired through learning.
Aside from the bullets curving, there is no fundamental difference between bullet bending and other shooting techniques.
This also means that even if two people both know bullet bending, the power they exert with it will be different.
With the same shooting technique, some people are naturally more accurate, while others are slightly less so.
This could be due to differences in talent or the degree of effort put in.
Although the system didn't explicitly state the level of bullet bending granted by the Fated Assassin reward, comparing it to the bullet bending copied from Sloan clearly reveals the gap between the two.
Simply put, Sloan's bullet bending cannot compare to the bullet bending rewarded by the system.
The difference between them is as great as the difference in difficulty between hitting a bullseye at ten meters and accurately hitting one at fifty meters.
After acquiring the high-level bullet bending rewarded by the system, Russell's mid-range shooting accuracy saw a significant improvement.
If he were to also acquire abilities related to long-range sniping, he would have no weaknesses in the field of marksmanship.
In fact, his current long-range sniping skills are decent, comparable to those of a normal human sniper.
However, in this world with supernatural abilities, the sniping level of a normal human can only be considered not dragging others down; it's far from being a standout ability.
After testing the high-level bullet bending rewarded by the system in the dim underground passage, Russell once again transformed into his full Venom form and returned to Sloan's study via the passage.
Sloan was dead, but the matter was far from over.
If he didn't want to be harassed by the Fraternity's assassins in the future, he had to send everyone from the Fraternity to hell.
The textile factory, first-floor workshop.
At this moment, Cross had not only failed to rescue Wesley by dealing with Fox and the others, but he had even been driven out of the second floor by them and forced back into the first-floor workshop.
What was worse, he was now injured.
He was indeed the best assassin in the Fraternity, but that didn't mean he could take on a group alone.
Fox and Gunsmith on the other side also knew bullet bending.
The only saving grace was that Wesley didn't know bullet bending yet.
Otherwise, it would have been questionable whether he could even make it back to the first floor from the second.
By triggering an adrenaline surge, he successfully killed Repairman and Butcher, among others, and only paid the price of a left arm injury to return to the first-floor workshop.
Now, there were only the last five people left on the Fraternity's side, including Wesley, who was still in the probationary stage.
Among the remaining five Fraternity assassins, Wesley was clearly the weakest.
But he was now attacking the most fiercely, with an air of fighting with his life.
He was sold out, yet he was still counting the money for others.
This is the best description of Wesley at the moment.
Although Cross was much stronger than Wesley, there was no way he could bring himself to kill his own son, so he could only choose to retreat.
His retreat only made Wesley more excited, as if he could personally avenge his deceased father immediately.
Cross was being beaten back, hiding behind the textile machines and unable to raise his head, with bullets flying at him from all angles.
Just as Cross was about to be overwhelmed by the bullets shot by Fox and Gunsmith using bullet bending, a loud bang suddenly came from the factory ceiling.
Boom!
The sturdy ceiling seemed to have been hit by an artillery shell, shattering with a roar, creating a huge opening.
Broken bricks, stones, and beams rained down like raindrops, falling into the workshop.
The sudden collapse of the ceiling immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Cross, Fox, and the others all looked up at the shattered ceiling, scrambling to dodge the falling debris.
The one who smashed through the ceiling was none other than Russell in his Venom form.
After returning to Sloan's study, he didn't choose to attack Fox and the others from behind, but opted for a more striking entrance.
A superhero-style landing!
Russell in his black monster-like Venom form descended from the sky like a meteor, landing in the workshop and leaving a huge impact crater on the solid ground.
The shockwave from the landing sent the surrounding textile machines flying.
Dust billowed everywhere, and the scene was a mess.
Upon seeing Russell's arrival, Cross, Fox, and the others immediately made different choices.
Fox and Gunsmith, without any hesitation, flicked their wrists, and bullets arced beautifully, flying towards Russell like lightning.
Cross also raised his right hand, flicked his wrist, and performed his extremely skilled bullet bending.
Unlike Fox and the others, Cross did not attack Russell, but aimed at Wesley.
Bang bang bang bang...
Gunfire erupted!
The bullets fired by Cross, Fox, and the others hit their targets almost simultaneously.
Although they all hit their targets, the effects were completely different.
The bullets that hit Russell were deflected without suspense, causing him no harm.
And the bullets fired by Cross accurately hit Wesley's chest.
The bullets entered Wesley's chest and exited his back, leaving a noticeable trail of blood.
Wesley fell to the ground, his face filled with unwillingness.
Fox, Gunsmith, and the others didn't expect Cross to "ruthlessly kill" Wesley at this moment.
Just as they were astonished, a huge black shadow appeared before them.
Whoosh!
Russell, in his Venom form, exploded with astonishing speed, instantly appearing before Fox, Gunsmith, and the others like a ghost.
Without giving them time to react, his claw-like hands lashed out one after another.
The tall black assassin, Gunsmith, was hit first; his strong body was as fragile as a cream cake before Russell's right claw.
With almost no effort, Gunsmith, an elite assassin of the Fraternity, was torn in half by Russell.
Crimson blood, shattered internal organs, Gunsmith's screams, Fox and the others' shock...
A primitive and bloody scene unfolded in the ruined workshop.
After easily taking down Gunsmith, Russell flicked his hands, throwing Gunsmith's upper and lower body aside as if discarding trash.
The next second, his right hand, still stained with Gunsmith's blood, grabbed Fox by the neck, lifting her entire body.
Fox was one of the few female assassins in the Fraternity, and the most beautiful among them.
If Fox hadn't become an assassin, with her looks and figure, she could have easily become a female star in Hollywood.
She had a good figure, an alluring appearance, and a kind of innate mature womanly aura.
Someone like her was a bit wasted as a female assassin.
Russell habitually sized up Fox's appearance and figure.
Then, as Fox attempted to raise her gun to shoot, he twisted his right hand slightly with force.
Crack!
Russell didn't hesitate and directly twisted Fox's neck.
