In ranged combat against melee, when a quick victory is not assured, disabling the opponent's mobility is the first choice. Just a slight delay can create more opportunities for ranged attacks.
The trench coat man's attack intention was precisely this.
Facing the incoming bullets, Aiven felt a faint pricking sensation in his knees and a loud alarm in his spiritual sense. If he continued to pursue, the trajectory of the two bullets would inevitably intersect with his knees!
These two shots might not be extraordinary in Aiven's previous life, as almost any trained special forces soldier could achieve this, but for the aboriginals of this world still using flintlock guns, it was a miracle.
Without a doubt, the trench coat man had used some kind of extraordinary power.
"Is he an extraordinary being?"
