Above the barrier, the sound of the sniper bullets hitting the barrier sounded like a copper bell being rung above their heads.
It had to be said that the barrier was indeed sturdy. It did not really crack even after taking 15 or 16 hits from the sniper rifle. Moreover, it seemed like it could still hold out for a very long time.
Yang Xiaojin's shoulder was still hurting. She had fired too many shots at Zuoyun Mount, which nearly crippled her shoulder. This injury was definitely not something that could be healed in a day or two.
But with a frown on her face, she continued firing at the barrier. Every time she fired a shot, the huge recoil from the black sniper rifle would cause the butt of the rifle to hit her injured shoulder. Even though it hurt, she did not take it to heart.
At this moment, Yang Xiaojin only cared that she was not absent when Ren Xiaosu put himself in danger.
The supernatural being in the barrier hurriedly used his own energy to patch up the area that had been hit. But the speed at which he did so was not as fast as the enemy's attacks!
Moreover, the sniper did not seem to have any intention of giving up. Every shot was accurately aimed at the same spot.
Shot after shot was fired quickly and densely, as though there was no end to it.
For some reason, the supernatural being in the barrier suddenly felt a little afraid. He watched as the spiderweb-like cracks grew larger and larger. This was also the first time he had seen someone so persistent in trying to break his barrier.
By right, a barrier that could withstand so many shots from an anti-material sniper rifle should be very sturdy indeed.
But all of a sudden, the sound of glass shattering rang out in the world. The light blue, semi-transparent barrier shattered into pieces. Then the wreckage dissipated in the air.
The supernatural being who had put up the barrier spat out a mouthful of blood as he suffered a huge backlash!
Seeing that the plan had completely failed, the other supernatural being hurriedly left.
He did not even care about his injured companion who was vomiting blood. It was not that he was cold-blooded and heartless, but that this was the training and requirements they had received. Once the plan failed, they were to quickly evacuate by themselves and not try to rescue anyone else.
Luo Lan looked at Yang Xiaojin, who was standing on a tall building not far away. She was wearing a cap and a poncho and was starting to lock onto her target through her scope.
"Both husband and wife are here. Do you feel like you're a divine general?" Luo Lan said excitedly.
Zhou Qi said helplessly, "You're a supernatural being yourself, so why don't you think about how to improve your own abilities instead of always relying on others?"
Luo Lan thought for a moment before explaining, "This ability of mine is actually a little cruel. The soldiers have sacrificed their lives for the Kyung Clan for so long, and they can't even rest in peace after they die. No matter how I think about it, I can't bear to see that happen."
"It's up to you." Zhou Qi suddenly felt that Luo Lan's Awakening skill was a little contradictory. It was clearly very powerful, but Luo Lan himself was not very willing to use it.
This was because Luo Lan felt that the Temple of Martyrs wasn't the best home for Martyrs.
He could not bear to see the warriors suffer the endless darkness of the Temple of Valhalla. To him, that kind of darkness was like a punishment that transcended the laws of nature.
At this moment, the sound of a sniper rifle rang out. The sniper on the tall building hit the back of the fleeing supernatural being. With just one shot, the supernatural being lay motionless on the ground.
However, after a few seconds, the assassin's corpse gradually faded until it turned into thin air.
Yang Xiaojin frowned. Could this be some kind of substitution ability? She did not expect the other party would still escape.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaojin prepared to go downstairs and give chase. She knew Ren Xiaosu would not want to let any of the assassins escape.
But before she could get up, she saw "Old Xu" turn out of a street with a black saber dripping with blood in its hand.
"Old Xu" raised its hand and waved at Yang Xiaojin to signal that the fleeing supernatural being was already dead.
Five minutes ago, the battle on "Old Xu"'s side had ended cleanly. However, Ren Xiaosu did not let it join the battle on Luo Lan's side. Instead, he quietly hid it outside the battlefield in case the other party had an escape skill like the Shadow Door.
Yang Xiaojin went downstairs to meet up with Ren Xiaosu. When Luo Lan saw her, he immediately greeted her with a smile. "Miss Xiaojin, it's been a while. Thank you for coming to Luoyang City in person …."
"We just met at Zuoyun Mount." Yang Xiaojin said calmly, "You don't have to thank me. You should thank Ren Xiaosu instead."
"You're a couple, so it doesn't matter who you thank," Luo Lan said with a chuckle.
Yang Xiaojin glanced at him but did not refute his words.
Elsewhere, Ren Xiaosu's battle had also ended. He was wearing his armor and dragging the dying supernatural being No. 1 in his hand. He dragged him all the way to the front of everyone from another direction.
The clanging of steel as the armor walked on the ground was heavy and gloomy. Some of the Luoyang City residents hiding in their homes quietly looked outside. When they saw the armor and Yang Xiaojin's cap, they were reminded of the sculptures on Wangchunmen Boulevard.
Some people got excited. So the guardian had come to Luoyang City to avenge Chief Editor Jiang Xu.
As the armor started to fade, a lot of people wanted to see what Ren Xiaosu looked like. But before they could get a clear look, Ren Xiaosu had already put on the large hood of his raincoat.
He dragged the killer to where Jiang Xu had gotten into trouble and stood there quietly. Yang Xiaojin, Luo Lan, and Zhou Qi did not disturb him.
Ren Xiaosu had his head lowered, and the hood of his black raincoat formed a shadow that covered his expression. However, everyone could feel how upset he was.
"I've killed some of the people who tried to kill you." Ren Xiaosu threw the killer in his hand to the ground and said to the end of the street, "Actually, I should've expected that someone would try to kill you. That's why I should've brought you to the Northwest a long time ago. But I knew you wouldn't go there. That's because only a place like Luoyang City that doesn't belong to any faction and has the support of the neutral Qinghe Group can allow you to do what you like in a clean manner. But if I had known this day would come, I would've knocked you out and brought you to the Northwest. "
"In the past, I had a vague feeling that there was something wrong with this era. It wasn't until the day I died that I finally confirmed it." Ren Xiaosu said, "I know that people can't be brought back to life after death. If life doesn't have a time limit, it'll seem especially frail. But I feel that this world can't do without people like you. So I'd like to ask you if you're willing to be reborn in another way?"
Off to the side, Luo Lan was stunned. Why did Ren Xiaosu's words sound a little similar to what he had said before?
Ren Xiaosu did not avoid Luo Lan. He just looked at the empty space in front of him in silence.
But one second, two seconds … one minute, two minutes. This was the first time Ren Xiaosu felt that the passage of time was so long and torturous.
But to his disappointment, Jiang Xu did not appear like the other martyred spirits.
Jiang Xu had left. He had completely left.
Just like his clean life, when he left, he did not have the slightest bit of regret, nor did he have the slightest bit of hesitation.
He was calm and composed.
