The saber that was as cold as the moonlight, as overwhelming as the tide, and as cold as the wind and frost penetrated his spiritual shield and the Crystal Suit, tearing apart his skin, nerves, and bones. At the same time, Ye Changkong felt that nine thunderbolts were ringing inside his head, illuminated by the lightning of his thoughts!
He understood everything now!
Li Yao had never trusted the stupid woman at all. It had been a trap since the very beginning, a trap that was specifically targeted at him!
As the best gun expert of the Heaven's Origin Sector, his sniping was the greatest threat. Li Yao had learned the lesson near the square of the Federation the day before!
With him distracting the enemy and other experts surrounding him, it would be dozens of times more difficult for Li Yao to escape!
Therefore, Li Yao had to kill him first without caring about the cost so that he could escape unhurriedly!
It was true that he and Li Yao were both lone wolves who were adept at assassination. They were the same kind of people. Therefore, he knew Li Yao's fighting style and thinking pattern very well. In the meantime, Li Yao knew his fighting style and fighting style as well as the back of his hand, too!
It must be noted that he was a senior expert who had been famous for more than a hundred years. As the chief tutor of firearms in the Union Army, he was not a scoundrel who would hide his identity. Many of his classic assassination cases had been circulating on the market. The courses that he had taught for the geniuses of firearms in the Union Army and a few military schools were not top secrets, either. He had also written quite a few books on sniping techniques and published them to the public. He had also written dozens of biographies of famous people, describing his life from the age of three to the present. Even he himself had published two memoirs!
For more than a hundred years, the information that he had published to the public could only be a hundred times more than Li Yao's.
He knew Li Yao very well, and Li Yao could understand his thinking pattern and fighting style in only one day, too!
Therefore, Ye Changkong believed that Li Yao had never trusted the stupid woman Ding Ling Dong. The Internet chip that he had secretly sent to the cooling panel of Ding Ling Dong's Crystal Suit was a bait to fish himself out!
Perhaps … Before he sent the first message to Ding Ling Dong, Li Yao had already sneaked out of the underground city. After he snuck into the forsaken magical equipment factory, he hid himself deep inside the chimney, concealing his breath, heartbeat, and aura to the minimum. He lurked quietly like a cluster of cold iron slag.
Li Yao was very clear that the top of the chimney was the best sniping point in the abandoned magical equipment factory. Any sniper who came to this place would He wouldn't make a second choice.
In the underground district, the erratic signals of the crystal processors were very simple.
As long as the crystal processor was preset to turn on and send messages at a fixed time, and then automatically turn off after sending a message, it would create the illusion that someone was using the crystal processor.
As for why it was running away, it was not worth mentioning at all. It must be some kind of remote magical equipment that was under the control of Li Yao, such as flying swords or beast puppets.
The remote magical equipment carried a crystal processor and pretended to be Li Yao, leading the thousands of Secret Sword Agents by the nose in the underground maze.
Everybody thought that Li Yao had been discovered by the Secret Sword Bureau. Besieged on all sides, he had fled to this place in a panic. No one knew. It was a trap that he had chosen a long time ago. Every detail was within his calculations. He was the one who had led the Secret Sword Agents to this place!
He had been fooled!
Guo Chunfeng, the most dreadful demon hunter in the Tian Yuan Realm, had been fooled by Li Yao! Thousands of elite Secret Sword Agents had been fooled by Li Yao! Even he, 'Death Ray' Ye Changkong, had been completely fooled by Li Yao!
Ye Changkong shuddered.
It meant that while he was climbing, checking, squatting, aiming, and calculating … Li Yao had been hiding in the wall of the chimney dozens of meters below him the whole time. Maybe he was stuck to the wall like a giant lizard, not breathing. No heartbeat, no stomach wriggling. He was emptier than a ghost and quieter than a dead man. He had been holding himself back and waiting for the best opportunity!
It was not until he gathered all the spiritual energy in his body and shot out his gun at the lowest point of the circulation of spiritual energy that Li Yao launched the most dangerous stinger like a deadly scorpion!
The competition between the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators was no longer a competition of pure strength and speed. Instead, it was a comprehensive competition of wisdom, geography, trickery, information, deduction, and all the other factors, like Li Yao and Ye Changkong's.
In many cases, the outcome of the competition had been decided before the two parties really attacked each other.
It was exactly the case right now.
The attack had gathered all the essence of Li Yao's entire scheme. Ye Changkong knew that he could not dodge it when the aura of the blade was still on its way.
Without blinking, he threw out Herald and smashed it into the depths of the dark chimney. In the meantime, a delicate handgun appeared in the palm of his left hand. Without any hesitation, he shot three marrow crystal bullets at the back of the aura of the blade!
Now that Li Yao was within a hundred meters of him, it would be suicide to use a sniper rifle again. Ye Changkong immediately switched to the most suitable weapon.
"Shua!"
The invisible aura of the saber passed through his right shoulder blade like a breeze, but the three marrow crystal bullets that he had devoted all his telepathic thoughts to disappeared into the darkness without leaving a trace.
"Chi!"
Ye Changkong's right arm, which was wrapped in the Crystal Suit, flew up. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, as if it should not have been on his body in the first place.
With only one slash, the arm of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator had been chopped off without the slightest trace of anger!
Ye Changkong's pupils constricted again. He did not expect that Li Yao's control over his spiritual energy would be so delicate at such a young age.
For a Yuanying, the strength of a Yuanying was not measured by the power of the attack or the glamorous sound and visual effects.
It was true that when a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator burned their life and soul and summoned their spiritual energy to the maximum, they could tear apart the clouds in the sky with a single attack, triggering a blast that could reach several square kilometers nearby. Lightning flashed, sand was flying, and clouds were being blown away, resulting in glamorous sound and visual effects.
But it was useless!
The sound and visual effects could not kill anyone. They were just the consumption of spiritual energy after the attack. The more intense the sound and visual effects were, the more energy would be consumed in the attack, and the less energy would be transformed into 'damage' and 'lethality'.
Therefore, unless there was a special need, such as boosting the morale of the allies on the battlefield or intimidating the enemy, the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators always pursued absolute control over their strength. The smaller the noise, the better. The less sound and visual effects, the better.
The highest level was to snap one's finger, and the target several kilometers away would fall to the ground without any noise. Even an autopsy would not be able to find the cause of death.
Li Yao's attack was still far away from such a level, but he was already on the right path!
His right arm had been cut off, but Ye Changkong was not panicked at all. He still shot out the last three marrow crystal bullets calmly.
BOOM!
Inside the dark chimney, his sniper rifle 'Herald' was bounced back brutally, followed by a streak of scarlet brightness!
Demonic energy! A demonic aura that blotted out the sky! Like a volcano eruption or a flood, it was spreading out all of a sudden! Together with the surging demonic energy, there was also the wailing background music. It pierced through Ye Changkong's brain like iron needles and disrupted the rhythm of his spiritual energy circulation!
At this moment, it had only been half a second since Ye Changkong shot out the first bullet.
The members of the hunting team who were lurking nearby all sensed Li Yao's demonic energy.
The Secret Sword Agents who were swarming out of the underground all sensed Li Yao's demonic energy.
The battle-type Yuanying Cultivators several kilometers away sensed the overwhelming demonic energy that was soaring to the sky, too!
Everybody hurried to the chimney as fast as they could!
"Zi, zi, zi, zi!"
Zi! Zi! On the top of the chimney, when Li Yao was about to cut within three meters of Li Yao, six streaks of lightning suddenly appeared around Li Yao and split into thousands of electric arcs in the blink of an eye. They turned into a powerful electric net and blocked Ye Changkong's fatal pursuit for a moment.
They were the six marrow crystal bullets that Ye Changkong shot out earlier. They did not miss the target but tied up Li Yao into a barrier of lightning!
Ye Changkong knew very well that, from the second he climbed up the chimney, he had lost the competition!
However …
Now that he had abandoned everything and joined Lu Zui's side, he had never cared about the unimportant things such as life and death and honor!
He was a member of the Union Army, a member of the Union Army who was not afraid of death at all!
Right now, he was going to create an opportunity with his own life as bait and drag Li Yao to hell together with him!
BOOM!
The Crystal Suit did not stop Li Yao for long. Li Yao, who was wearing the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and whose combat ability had been boosted to the maximum, still managed to cut close to him. After only one punch, he blew up the breastplate of Ye Changkong's Light Crystal Suit, which was designed for snipers, into pieces. The scraps of the Crystal Suit, mixed with terrifying spiritual energy and demonic energy, blew into Ye Changkong's internal organs!
Pu!
Ye Changkong's throat seemed to be erupting like a volcano. A large cluster of blood mixed with minced meat was spurting out.
Ye Changkong's handsome face, which was hidden below the facial cover, was beaming with a hideous smile.
He sensed that several strong auras were approaching. As long as Li Yao launched a second attack, there would be no escape for him!
The best case scenario would be that Yuanying killed Li Yao in order to save him in another battle.
Even if he was not killed on the spot, Li Yao had unleashed overwhelming demonic energy in front of everyone, and he was wearing such a weird … demonic armor. Furthermore, he had killed the chief tutor of firearms of the Union Army in front of everyone!
How could he explain all that?
Even if he did bring out any evidence, would anybody still believe him?
The Federation is the Federation of human beings! I will not allow you demons, ghosts, monsters, and monsters to taint it! Come on, kill me! "
Ye Changkong burst into laughter in his heart. He threw out his pistol, and a pair of thorns popped out of his left elbow and his knees, before he lunged at Li Yao brutally!
But out of his expectation, Li Yao's judgment on the situation was beyond his expectations again.
Although Li Yao had gone through so much trouble to set up the trap in order to execute him, when Li Yao scanned the strong auras around him, he immediately realized that there would be no time for him to escape after he was killed!
Li Yao abandoned the assassination without any hesitation. He kicked Ye Changkong's abdomen brutally and threw him into the air. With the strong counterforce, he dashed back into the chimney again.
BOOM!
