Chapter 656: Chapter 31: Flying Sword Sniper Duel

"An Xuan, it’s too dangerous, retreat now!"

On one side, Mrs. Guang, who was using a Magic Artifact to reinforce An Jing, felt the Magic Artifact in her hand become unbearably hot. Just a single hit almost caused the Magic Artifact to overload, proving that the enemy’s sniper power was sufficient to threaten the life of someone who had undergone Foundation Establishment. It was definitely a military-grade ultra-heavy sniper weapon.

Facing this kind of attack, even she had no confidence in blocking a second shot. Moreover, she couldn’t understand why An Jing, who had clearly said to defend and ensure safety, took the initiative to attack and drew the enemy’s attention.

"It’s okay, you all just hold the perimeter and make sure no one else gets close."

Yet An Jing simply stood at the top of the cliff that had been blasted open with a breach. He had no intention of hiding himself; he just stood there, overlooking the entire battlefield from an elevated vantage point: "Some things can’t be escaped. It’s necessary to reduce unstable factors."

An Jing focused intently on the enemy sniper. He didn’t sense any killing intent, which suggested the opponent was not a sentient lifeform, but merely pure artificial intelligence? No, that’s not right. Even if it was artificial intelligence, if it posed a real threat, a Cultivator’s perception should be able to give a warning.

The sensation he had just felt was not so much ’absent’ as ’natural’; the opponent had merged with the whole world, with a faint sense of ’Unity of Heaven and Man.’

The enemy’s origin was probably quite extraordinary; he wanted to test the metal of his adversary.

With his own eyes and body.

[Interesting, you were lucky to block the first shot, do you want to try a second time?]

In the center of the Fortress Area, at the top of an abandoned fortress, a large mechanical humanoid figure was crouching behind a firing position.

While it had a mechanical body, even somewhat like the ’Feather Transformation Demon Men’ from before, this humanoid figure had smooth lines, and a face extremely similar to humans. The structure of the Evergreen Wood was very regular, merely replacing flesh and blood in key areas. On the left side, there were four pupils, while the right side held two, creating a peculiar Six-Eyed pattern.

And the super-gigantic sniper Sword Box in its hand, rather than being called a Sword Box, would better be described as a kind of miniature railgun. The slender metallic rails were currently rotating, slowly building up storage power and emitting a golden-red glow.

[Sun-controlling Sword Box model one]. Shouyang Mountain

From the beginning, its design didn’t consider portability and recoil, nor did it think of logistics and the burden. Everything was focused on power. This anti-materiel Magic Artifact sniper Sword Box, specifically used for sniping enemy officers and important flying shuttles, required only one shot to destroy a small Airship.

The Six-Eyed humanoid would not hesitate or doubt itself. Since An Jing was within the aiming frame, it would simply pull the trigger upon locking on.

In an instant, the entire abandoned fortress shook violently, as all dust and debris were stirred up, rising as waves of smoke.

And the firelight, shining like the sun, threw out a screech behind it, and like thunder, struck directly at the target several miles away.

An Jing watched this firelight.

Time once again slowed down, decelerating.

But even thoughts accelerated five times struggled to clearly see this rapidly approaching heavy sniper bullet.

An Jing could even be sure, the enemy’s bullet this time was special; if it hit, Mrs. Guang’s shield would definitely be penetrated instantly.

Yet An Jing felt no fear.

No one fears an attack that cannot hit them.

He stepped forward to the right, turning his body.

Such a minor movement, a slow evasion speed, yet it was precisely perfect; the speeding sniper bullet grazed past the position where An Jing originally stood, brushing by his side.

The terrifying shockwave could blow away branches and leaves of trees, but it couldn’t harm An Jing, who had activated the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban. The hot wind only set his left sleeve alight.

Closest to the bullet, An Jing with the Grasping Heavenly Moment ability sensed an aura from it and made a discovery.

"This aura... The shooter is not human? Metal, and a bit of plant... Is it the Evergreen Wood Puppetry?"

Because they were in the Tianyuan Realm, An Jing’s first thought was whether someone was remotely controlling a Puppetry to battle with him, but he quickly found something was not right: "It’s not Evergreen Wood, it’s something higher in rank, much higher... Strange, what is the origin of this group?"

He couldn’t figure out this problem for the time being, and soon, the enemy’s third sniper shot was coming.

[Dodged? Coincidence?]

In the Fortress Area, the Six-Eyed humanoid had noticed something amiss: [Wrong, he’s gathering data!]

Alarms were going off in his mind: [Too dangerous, the target must be eliminated!]

At the same time, An Jing, who had learned the speed and direction of the enemy sniper, shifted his gaze back, raising the Boosted Sword Box in his hand. He overdriven the Spiritual Energy Boost Bottle, causing the Sword Box to emit a circle of light so bright and potentially dangerous.

Both sides pulled the trigger at the same time.

Two flying swords shot out, rotating and tearing through the atmosphere, raising a White Rainbow and golden light. In just an instant, a fiery orb of intertwined energies exploded in the sky between the mountain and the Fortress Area.

The scorching White Rainbow Sun expanded and burst in a flash, evaporating everything nearby, then disintegrated into a sky full of Fire Clouds and rain of fire falling down, igniting the forest below and blocking the Six-Eyed’s view.

[What?!]

Realizing this, the Six-Eyed was shocked, even with his true identity, he couldn’t help feeling a bit of human emotion at this moment: [He can snipe my flying sword with sniping flying swords?!]

[Is this still a human?]

But the more non-human thing happened.

On the mountain, after striking down the enemy’s launched flying sword, An Jing, disregarding everything else and allowing the sniping Sword Box to reach its limit, drove it to operate at full power in the shortest time to trigger an almost impossible ’double shot’ from the sniping Sword Box!

Boom!

The gunshot thundered, and as the flying sword rocketed off its trajectory, An Jing’s sniping Sword Box immediately fell apart, the Spirit Qi Furnace used for boosting exploded on a small scale, blowing the fruitful Sword Box to pieces.

And a beam of light, even more intense than the previous flying sword, followed the same exact trajectory toward the area where the Six-Eyed was!

[Is this guy really human?]

The Six-Eyed humanoid had already sensed something wrong when An Jing sniped his second flying sword, and he immediately planned to flee the sniping position, but An Jing’s second shot came too fast.

In the instant he leaped up and turned around to leave, he felt an impact on his lower back and thighs, somewhat like being penetrated by a scalding spike, followed then by an intense explosion.

Fierce Flame and the Sharpness of Golden Qi shattered his legs and the lower half of his spine, while the remaining metallic organs and other components were melted and twisted by the high temperature and the shockwave, turning into complete debris.

— Whoosh!

The belated howl echoed across the entire battlefield, and at this point, the Six-Eyed humanoid was left with only a head, rolling to one side in the corner.
