Chapter 206: Chapter 163 Sniping Point_2

"Master," Li Yi said respectfully with a clasped fist and a bow.

"Meng De, are you going to take action now?"

Zhao Ge looked at him, his eyes filled with a bit of shame, "Sorry, Master’s strength is limited, I can’t help you much. You must face this crisis on your own. I thought all night about having you take Rong Niang and Zhao Qian and flee the Four Seas and Eight Continents under the cover of night, but in the end, I couldn’t bring myself to say it."

"You are a natural-born strongman, and in the future, you might even become an invincible one. You must not let your spirit falter. If you can survive this ordeal, it will greatly benefit your martial arts cultivation. Otherwise, if you retreat, you will find yourself retreating from everything hereafter, and your inner weakness will surface. Go, I’ll wait for your return with the enemy’s head in your hand."

"Don’t worry, Master. Rest well at the mansion. Have the servants prepare some mutton; I like the mutton here," Li Yi said with a smile.

"Alright, I will have a feast prepared for when Meng De returns," Zhao Ge agreed immediately, his eyes brightening.

At this time, Shou Hou led a black steed over, "Brother, your horse. Your brother here will also wait for your triumphant return. If you have time in the future, could you take me out as well? I’d like to see the world."

"Sure thing. If you can refine points, I’ll take you cross-border. Otherwise, with your little strength, you’ll only be fit for factory work if you go where we are from," Li Yi laughed heartily and then mounted his horse, "I’m off."

After finishing his words, he slung his sniper rifle on his back and galloped away on his horse, showing no signs of urgency despite facing a formidable enemy.

Zhao Ge watched Li Yi leave, unable to help but remark, "He truly has the bearing of a hero. The Four Seas and Eight Continents are too small to contain someone like Meng De. If he truly can defeat a Gang Refining Expert today, he will become a legend."

Shou Hou did not share the sentiment but only admired and adored Li Yi, thinking how great it would be to follow his elder martial brother on adventures in the future.

Li Yi rode his horse, bought some things in Sanyang City, and had a breakfast before leaving the city and heading straight for Daqing Mountain.

He left the city so early naturally to make sufficient preparations. After all, his opponents were six people; one was a Gang Refining Expert and five were Refining Points. Such a lineup against him alone was indeed luxurious. Therefore, he also wanted to choose a geomantically auspicious place to bury their bodies.

Soon.

Li Yi arrived at the designated meeting spot and surveyed his surroundings, finally choosing a small hill.

There was an old pavilion on the hill, which was high and overlooked the plain below, providing a wide field of view. And with Daqing Mountain at its back, the feng shui was excellent. Burying his opponents here would certainly be fitting.

After choosing his sniping spot, Li Yi then took out three rolls of cloth he had bought in Sanyang City from the pack on his horse. He gathered some branches and made many flags of three different colors, beginning to place them across the plain in front of him.

These were his range markers.

Each flag was positioned five hundred meters from the pavilion, with the furthest flag at one thousand five hundred meters, a total distance of about two hours’ walk.

With these flags marking distances, Li Yi was more confident in sniping his targets, especially since long-range sniping required much consideration, especially considering his target was a Gang Refining Expert. A little extra preparation was always wise.

After completing all the preparations, two hours had passed.

The flat area nearby was filled with flags of various colors, and Li Yi stood in the middle of the pavilion with a slight smile on his face.

"The range is set, now just waiting for the target to enter the arena," he said.

Then he took a sip of water, ate a big medicine to replenish his energy and spirits, checked his sniper rifle, started adjusting the gun, and began loading the prepared red bullets one by one into the magazine.

A magazine could hold ten bullets of a special type.

With the one already in the sniper rifle, that made it eleven bullets in total.

Eleven bullets were all he needed to hit just one, and his opponent would certainly be dead. But considering that the target was a Gang Refining Expert with potentially astonishing reactions, Li Yi had prepared a second magazine as a backup.

"You are a Gang Refining Expert, and dueling with this transcendent M200 model sniper rifle would not disgrace you," Li Yi thought to himself.

At this moment, everything was ready, and he was simply waiting quietly now.

At the same time.

In Sanyang City, a carriage drove out.

The City Lord, Fan Zhizhou, accompanied by an old servant, came discreetly to the vicinity of Daqing Mountain.

They wanted to see for themselves what kind of methods Li Yi would use to confront the Meng Family’s Gang Refining Expert, and they were also curious about who would win this battle provoked by the Yin God.

"Stop here, that will do. If we go any further, we might displease Li Yi," Fan Zhizhou said to the old servant as they reached the first flag.

Fan Zhizhou looked around and saw many three-colored flags planted in the ground nearby, each flag spaced over two hundred steps apart, not randomly placed but arranged methodically.

"The flags are quite ordinary, nothing special," he said.

Fan Zhizhou examined them and found nothing unusual. The flags were simply pieces of cloth tied to sticks, which to the uninformed might seem like bird scarecrows in a field.

"This old servant can’t see anything significant, but I faintly feel that these flags are like those used in the military for measuring distances. My lord, look, three-colored flags, from east to west, every two hundred and fifty steps a flag, starting from here, seven hundred and fifty steps to the pavilion where Li Yi is," said the old servant who had Refining Points, his severe injuries not yet healed but his movement largely unimpeded.

Fan Zhizhou smiled, "Li Yi is prepared and must be fully confident. The other party has traveled from afar, unaware of the depth of the water here; they are likely at a disadvantage."

"I am very curious about the methods that can kill a Gang Refining Expert," the old servant said.

The old servant, with his gaze fixed on Li Yi who was in the distance, could vaguely see that Li Yi was resting calmly inside the pavilion.

"Less than two hours, and the Meng Family’s expert will arrive," Fan Zhizhou said with his hands behind his back, standing on the carriage, waiting for the drama to unfold.

As time trickled by.

Suddenly.

On the distant horizon, six majestic horses appeared each bearing a rider, who were speeding furiously, raising clouds of dust and exuding an imposing aura of thousands of troops which could be felt even before their approach.

"The Meng Family’s expert has arrived," Fan Zhizhou said, his gaze intensifying as he watched the six people approaching from afar.

But he didn’t know which Gang Refining Expert of the Meng Family had come this time.

"Have they arrived?"

Li Yi, his pupils gleaming with extraordinary Eye Power, had already locked on the group from afar.

But they were still too far off, not yet within sniper range. Only once the enemy approached about one thousand meters, would it be his time to act.

However, to deal with a Gang Refining Expert, Li Yi was planning to allow the opponent within a one thousand meter range.

This way, the sniper rifle’s power, precision, and accuracy could be maximized.

Therefore, there was no rush.

Li Yi stood firm in the pavilion, motionless, while the sniper rifle was already set up on the ground, ready to be fired at any moment.
