Chapter 2925 - 2926: Showdown
Chapter 2925: Chapter 2926: Showdown
Wu Nianyin awkwardly tried to hide, but Shu Jingchu was quite bold and pointed at the Jade Gourd as she approached Wu Nianyin.
"Can I take a look?"
Wu Nianyin’s mind raced, and he waved to stop the man whose expression had drastically changed, then took down the Jade Gourd and handed it to Shu Jingchu.
"No need to be so polite, Miss Shu. It’s just a small trinket, of course!"
Shu Jingchu caught the Jade Gourd and began playing with it in her hands, unable to let go.
"Wow, what kind of jade is this made from? It feels so smooth, tender, and warm."
Wu Nianyin shook his head, "I don’t know either. It’s something my father left me."
Mentioning the word ’father,’ Wu Nianyin’s eyes flashed a hint of sorrow.
Shu Jingchu also felt somewhat embarrassed, and quickly handed the Jade Gourd back.
"Sorry, I didn’t mean to!"
"It’s nothing, just reminded me of someone. If Miss Shu likes it, I can find some more good ones for you later!"
"No need, no need. I was just curious!"
While they were chatting leisurely, Xue An transformed into a white shadow, swiftly traversing the mysterious mist.
This mist is peculiar; it not only blocks all artificial explorations but also filters sounds.
That’s why the bullets just fired earlier made no sound.
But this filtration only affects ordinary people; for Xue An, it’s like a joke.
At least when his Divine Sense spread out, though unable to reveal all secrets, he could vaguely sense the existence of certain humanoid entities.
And for Xue An, even faint detection was enough.
Indeed.
As he leapt toward one of the silhouettes, the figure sensed its exposure and immediately turned to flee.
But how could his speed compare to Xue An’s?
In the blink of an eye, Xue An was already close to the figure.
The figure knew escape was hopeless and reacted swiftly.
He turned, raised his gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger.
Countless arrays gathered, ultimately igniting the special gunpowder, transforming into immense kinetic energy.
The bullet shot out from the gun muzzle at a terrifying speed, but the recoil failed to move the shooter an inch.
He watched the void coldly, but deep in his eyes was a full expression of dread.
Because everything that had just happened had overturned his understanding.
Someone actually connected multiple bullets fired by himself and his team without any warning.
And caught them with a naked hand.
Heavens know how shocked words filled the team channel upon witnessing this scene.
This was already indescribably incredible.
Yet what happened next shattered everyone’s comprehension further,
The teenager wasn’t the least bit intimidated by the mist’s concealment, rushing in at high speed, directly targeting their side.
At first, the person didn’t believe Xue An could find him.
But the cruel truth was undeniable.
Until Xue An’s figure was already vaguely visible, he thought of escaping but was already too late.
Forced by circumstances, he made a hasty shot, hoping to inflict harm.
But it all turned into wishful thinking.
After firing the shot, it didn’t even stir a ripple, only the mist drifted back and forth.
Suddenly.
The sniper’s pupils shrank to needlepoint size.
For just then, a figure slowly emerged from the mist.
As he stood fully in front of the sniper, the sniper couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.
Because the bullet he had just fired was in the mouth of the young man.
White teeth contrasted sharply with the yellow bullet.
What terrified the sniper most was the faint, cold smile at the corner of the young man’s mouth.
"Good shooting, but that’s all there is!"
"Spare..."
Before the word ’life’ came out, a sword light flashed like lightning.
Pfft!
A bloodline appeared at the sniper’s throat, rapidly widened, followed by his head soaring into the sky.
The corpse fell.
Xue An leisurely walked forward, bending over to pick up the long gun tightly held in the dead man’s hand.
As soon as he grasped it, the gun trembled slightly, as if resisting Xue An.
But with a casual swipe from Xue An, the remaining consciousness in the gun was wiped out.
Then he examined the long gun with interest.
Its appearance was basically the same as a sniper rifle on Earth, except for the dense pattern covering the gun body.
Given Xue An’s cultivation level, although the patterns were extremely dense and complex, simply glancing allowed him to uncover most of the gun’s secrets.
"Interesting modification, using the power of runes to ignite special gunpowder, forming massive kinetic energy that could defeat strong figures below a Saint! This Firearms Society is quite something!"
Xue An murmured to himself, then grasped the long gun and silently vanished into the mist.
Chen Shichun felt downright dreadful now.
What he thought would be a light-hearted assassination turned out far from simple.
Especially the boy catching bullets in his palm had given Chen Shichun quite a scare.
According to sniper rules, if a shot fails, one should quickly relocate.
But considering the precious mist used in the assassination to ensure nothing goes wrong, leaving would be a massive loss.
So Chen Shichun gritted his teeth, did not order a retreat, and commanded his men to continue attacking.
The second attempt at sniping also failed.
This boy seemed like an omnipotent god or demon, with no bullet angle escaping his grasp.
Now Chen Shichun truly felt fear rising in his heart.
He didn’t even have time to command a retreat when Xue An rushed into the mist.
With no other options, Chen Shichun ordered his men to rapidly gather towards him.
But this command led to his demise.
As the team leader, he could see the light dots in the squad going out one by one.
Each extinguished dot represented a dead subordinate.
Chen Shichun felt like going insane.
He truly couldn’t understand what method this guy used to see through the mist.
But at the moment, it was useless to think about anything else.
He knew he was now utterly trapped.
If he turned to flee, the death would be even worse.
So he took a deep breath, holding the long gun, with utmost caution silently entered the mist.
To avoid revealing his position, he even controlled his heartbeat to match the ambient sound frequency.
His body temperature swiftly dropped.
If one didn’t approach closely to observe, they couldn’t imagine he was a living person.
This was Chen Shichun’s life-saving skill on the battlefield.
With it, Chen Shichun survived countless brutal wars, eventually becoming the captain of this sniper squad.
And now, Chen Shichun knew his life’s most severe test had arrived.
