The struggling Xiao Yiqiu realized that there was a change in the situation, and it was slowly favouring his situation, so he calmed down instantly to heighten his awareness. He slowly congregated his energy. If the rings restricting him showed any signs of loosening up, he would try to break through it again.
The forest regained its peaceful state, only Xiao Yiqiu's haggard panting could be heard within the tense atmosphere. The skinny man knew that a top tier sniper like his opponent would be very patient. It might take a long time before his opponent reveals a weakness, but he couldn't be as patient as his opponent. If the chubby man knew that he was forced behind a tree by a sniper, he would be teased to the ends of his time. Hence, he decided to attack proactively.
The skinny man made this bold decision because he was confident that with his domain realm defense capability, normal ejection guns would not be able to harm him. The skinny man walked out from behind the tree. He looked like he was walking casually but he was already searching for his opponent using his domain. If any bullets get near him, they would be stopped by his domain.
He focused all his attention in the direction where he predicted the sniper was so the rings restricting Xiao Yiqiu started to loosen up. Xiao Yiqiu had been waiting for this chance. The moment he felt the rings getting looser, he explosively released his energy to break free from the metal rings.
"Clang, clang, clang…" The metal rings broke. Xiao Yiqiu executed his plan the moment the opportunity came so he managed to succeed in breaking free from the rings.
The skinny man got a shock. He turned around and looked at Xiao Yiqiu. Just as he wanted to form new metal rings to restrict Xiao Yiqiu again, a killing intent slowly got near him.
"Bang!" The sniper who was hiding finally found an opportunity and shot his second bullet.
When the bullet was around half a meter away from the skinny man's head, it suddenly bounced off in mid-air. The skinny man gave a malicious look. I finally caught you. The skinny man moved and disappeared from Xiao Yiqiu's vision.
Xiao Yiqiu instantly realized that he fell under a scheme by the skinny man. He was trying to get the sniper's position. He got a shock. He was worried about the sniper who helped him so he immediately shouted, "Be careful!"
The skinny man had already calculated the sniper's position. He saw a shadow lying on a tree branch. It was not moving at all. If he didn't actually see that there was someone there, he would miss the sniper again.
The skinny man smiled coldly. He attacked the sniper without mercy.
When his palm touched the back of his opponent, the body instantly turned into a ball of meat.
Something is wrong! The feeling he received from touching the body told him that the person he attacked was already dead. He stopped and took a look at the physical characteristics of the body. He was one of the snipers they had stationed in the forest. The sniper who hurt him was nowhere in sight.
This is impossible! How can someone escape without a trace under my eyes? The skinny man was dumbfounded. Before he could understand what had happened, he felt a stinging pain on his back. He lost control of his body and fell down from the tree branch.
In mid-air, the skinny man used the last of his strength to turn his body around so that he could face the night sky. He saw a man dressed in black standing at his position a while ago, and there was a beam gun in his hand. He couldn't see the sniper's face but he could feel the coldness within the sniper's eyes. It was so cold that he could feel a chill in his bones.
He saw his opponent raising a gun. A colorful beam appeared from the nozzle and engulfed him.
He was using a beam gun, not an ejection gun! The skinny man thought about this when he breathed his final breath.
After Xiao Yiqiu shouted, he realized that this was his best chance to escape. However, after he ran for a few meters, he gritted his teeth and changed his direction. He started to sneak towards the direction where the skinny man went.
It couldn't be helped. The people from the Xiao family would never abandon their life savior. Xiao Yiqiu knew that if he really did escape, he would never be able to achieve a higher realm anymore as this experience would haunt him for life.
It could be said that the people from the Xiao family were born with this character trait. This caused most of them to die before they turned into adults. This was why the Xiao family had so few members. However, it was not easy for a member of the Xiao family to let themselves be indebted to a person. They knew the flaw of their character so they rarely accepted the help of someone, especially those that required the sacrifice of a life.
Xiao Yiqiu carefully walked for a distance. There was no sound around him and there was no trace of the skinny man. He was worried about his life savior but he wouldn't recklessly charge forward. Suddenly, his nose grew larger and he started to sniff around.
"The smell of blood and another weird smell…" The Conqueror Wave was not Xiao family's only ability. Of course, when compared to the Conqueror Wave, their other abilities seemed very negligible.
Xiao Yiqiu was agitated when he smelled blood. Is his life savior killed? If that was the case, why didn't the skinny man come back and catch him?
Xiao Yiqiu slowly moved towards the smell of blood. He was curious and hopeful at the same time.
The smell of blood got stronger. When Xiao Yiqiu reached a thick tree trunk, the smell of blood got extremely strong. He didn't even need his special ability to smell it. He knew that he had reached his destination. He leaned close to the tree and slowly inched his head out.
Something dripped on his face. Xiao Yiqiu wiped it away. He realized what it was and looked up. On a branch more than ten meters away, two arms could be seen just hanging down. Fresh blood was dripping down the arms. The droplet that dripped on him just now was blood.
Is that his life savior? Xiao Yiqiu flew up and landed on the branch. He saw a body wearing the same uniform as the skinny man. There was a huge hole at the back of his body. He had already died for quite a while now. If not, with the hole at his back, there would be more blood gus.h.i.+ng out.
Xiao Yiqiu didn't know who the body belonged to so he looked at the other tree, the other location with an intense stench of blood. Another corpse laid under the other tree. Only the lower half of the body was left. Xiao Yiqiu recognized the shoes and pants. They belonged to the skinny man who captured him not long ago.
Xiao Yiqiu jumped down and inspected the skinny man's corpse.
"There are signs of burns due to high temperature at the cut. He was probably shot by a beam gun. His upper body was melted off and his lower body was left lying on the forest floor." Xiao Yiqiu was puzzled. The energy of a beam gun was powerful but the skinny was a domain realm master. How could he be killed so easily by a beam gun?
Anyone below the domain realm is n.o.bodies. Domain realm and Qi-Jin were two entirely different concepts. Not only that, domain realm masters and above were able to block attacks by firearms. They were also able to fight against mechas single-handedly. Anyone below the domain realm would be more susceptive to firearms.
"The only possibility was, the other party broke through the domain realm defense capabilities of the skinny man. However, such a battle shouldn't have been so quiet." Xiao Yiqiu found an answer but another query popped up.
"Did the Federation invent a beam gun that could immediately break through the domain realm defense capabilities?" Xiao Yiqiu laughed at his own idea. This was impossible. A powerful beam gun needed a strong power source, a power source strong enough to kill a domain realm master was impossible to create as it would be too unstable to contain it.
As Xiao Yiqiu mocked himself, he saw the smooth cut on the corpse. "No, this can't be the work of a normal Federation's beam gun…" He touched the surface of the corpse and felt a chill down his spine.
"It's cold light. No, it's a power source many times colder than the normal cold light. I almost got frostbite from the residual energy…" Xiao Yiqiu was frightened. He felt frustrated at himself. How could he make such a dumb decision? If the energy didn't disperse due to the pa.s.sage of time, his finger might have dropped off by now.
He was sure that the person who killed the skinny man was his life savior.
An advanced beam gun with cold light as its power source. Is he a sniper? Xiao Yiqiu remembered these two points. One day, he would find his life savior and return this favor.
The chubby man moved at an extremely fast speed. Within ten seconds, he managed to catch up to Su Pei. As Su Pei desperately trying to run away, he could feel fatigue trying to wash over him. With the help of Xiao Yiqiu just now, he was already on the outskirts of the forest. Just a few more seconds and he would be able to escape.
Suddenly, something pulled him back. He stopped. Despair flashed pa.s.sed Su Pei's eyes. The time Xiao Yiqiu bought for him was not enough for him to escape.
"I wonder what your parents are thinking. You came happily for the test but now, you want to escape halfway through…" The chubby man appeared in front of Su Pei with the same smiley face.
"That's because we were tricked by you all," Su Pei screamed angrily. At his moment, he could no longer maintain his calm att.i.tude.
