On a hill, the sniper who had a different uniform than the field members of AST is currently training his scope on his target in a very good sniping spot .
When he saw how easily Wu Yan dodged his bullet he’s surprised . He is even more shocked when Wu Yan noticed his hiding spot .
“s.h.i.+t!”
Wu Yan is smiling back at him through the scope . The sniper gasped and he felt anxious . He is about 500 meters away from his target yet the target tracked him accurately and within a second after he missed the shot .
The sniper calmed down . He’s a trained soldier, this much is nothing . If he panicked then he would smear the reputation of all snipers .
He contacted operation control .
“Point A, objective failed!”
Other snipers responded .
“Point B, target locked!”
“Point C, target locked!”
“Point D, awaiting instructions!”
Their squad leader gave them the permission to go ahead .
“Point A, B, C, and D, fire at will!”
Advertis.e.m.e.ntThe snipers replied .
“Hmm?”
Wu Yan could sense the snipers aiming him from far away . He relaxed his raised eyebrow . Licking his lips, he considered his options .
“The snipers are widely dispersed, this is problematic…”
He didn’t look troubled though . He scanned the four locations where the snipers were at and he grinned .
“Let’s do this…”
The four snipers saw him grinning at them and they pulled their triggers at the same time . Four bullets came at him from four different directions that made dodging nigh impossible .
The snipers are confident that not even a spirit can dodge the bullets . Maybe the snipers are right that this barrage can’t be dodged . But, whoever said he can only dodge?
Pwoosh
The bullets melted away without even touching their targets, crimson flames sprouted around the target like a great wall of fire that s.h.i.+elded its master from harm .
“What?!”
The snipers all cried out . It only occurred to the snipers that they had royally messed up .
“Squad leader, point A sniping failed! Requesting directions!”
“Squad leader, point B sniping failed! Requesting directions!”
“Squad leader, point C sniping failed! Requesting directions!”
“Squad leader, point D sniping failed! Requesting directions!”
The squad leader received the reports with a grim look .
“All sniping efforts have ended in failures?”
A pillar of crimson flames shot up towards the sky, the intensity of that flame pillar looked like it could scorch the sky until it’s reduced to ashes . The flame pillar’s heat could be felt from where they are currently situated .
“Give me a sitrep!”
A fiery figure shot towards one of the hills after the flame pillar dissipated .
The first sniper who attacked Wu Yan is currently there .
The squad leader turned grave and he wanted to give orders for them to retreat but shrieks of anguish came from the other end of the microphone .
The snipers were too stunned .
“Point A, what’s going there?! Point A! Do you copy?! Do you copy?!”
Static noise greeted the squad leader’s ears . The sniper there screamed and the squad leader heard it .
“Hey! What’s the situation over there?!”
The squad leader turned pale, the shrieks and screams he heard were different voices, meaning…
The last scream fell on his ears . Now, all he can hear is the grim silence of static noises .
“d.a.m.n!”
In a small alley, a middle-aged guy with bulletproof vest smashed his earpiece in frustration .
The squad leader heaved in anger . He’s very p.i.s.sed off at the failure of this operation .
“I failed the mission…”
The squad leader gnashed his teeth as he bitterly cursed the spirit who had done a number on his squad .
“That d.a.m.ned spirit!”
“Don’t think this is over just yet, even if you don’t have any spirit signatures, I am going to make you regret running around on our turf like you’re the boss, mark my words…”
“Okay, marked . ”
The squad leader turned around in a hurry . He raised his head and saw something that caused him to despair, it’s a very familiar guy holding his four subordinates .
Floating in the air above him is a figure with deep red eyes that were mocking him . It’s the target they are after .
The squad leader’s pupil shrunk until they were pin-sized . The guy carried four grown men like it’s nothing, a strange oppressive aura emanated from him . It made the squad leader tremble like a kitten .
Wu Yan unloaded his subordinates onto the ground with loud thuds . Without consciously thinking about it, the squad leader backpedaled away .
Wu Yan scanned the guy and he descended towards him in an insidious manner .
“AST, I presume?”
The squad leader calmed his nerves down to the best extent he could but he still looked at him in terror .
Wu Yan sn.i.g.g.e.red as he shook his head .
“What? Peeing your pants from seeing a spirit or are you frightened by the fact that you’re the only one left?”
He approached the squad leader but the squad leader retreated away . He shook like a leaf . Wu Yan can’t even take this guy seriously anymore .
“Afraid of just this much? It seems AST higher management really needs to revise their development programs . Your fighting capabilities are subpar compared to the AST strike team from before . Even your mental state is in such feeble states . I see why they chose women to fight spirits, you males are so impotent!”
