Absolute Death Game-Chapter 303 - 72: A Fight to the Death and Unexpected Support_2
He turned into a bolt of lightning and shot up into the air.
Just as he reached the clouds in the sky, before he could even rejoice, he was suddenly engulfed by a mighty suction force that came down on him.
(What’s happening?) He didn’t have time to react to the situation before the next moment he found himself uncontrollably plunging towards the ground, carried by that force.
With a loud boom, a golden bolt of lightning struck from the sky, landing squarely in the middle of the asphalt road, blasting the ground into a spiderweb of cracks and a crater. Xiao Buli knelt in the crater, feeling as if all his limbs were about to fall apart, and a sense of shock that was even more intense than before filled his heart.
The enemy seemed to have planned in advance, breaking through his Cloud Thunder Leap life-saving technique. The force just now was clearly some kind of spell, capable of absorbing the thunderous power within the clouds and directing it towards the ground, and in his lightning form, he was also affected by this force, forced to fall from the sky. Had he continued flying upwards, he probably would have faced the same result.
Just as he began to understand the situation, he was already surrounded by three figures from three sides. Yan Zhong’s eyes revealed a hint of mockery, "Did you really think that with your escape skill you would be invincible? Hmph, it seems you still don’t understand our power. The power of the Qilin Group is not something you cannon fodder can compare to, now—just accept your fate."
Xiao Buli looked up at the stormy sky, but he remembered the weather forecast he had seen that morning. It was supposed to be a sunny day today, which meant that this thunderstorm did not form naturally but was summoned by the Qilin Group, right?
The mere thought of his enemies having the power to control the weather filled him with dread, but then he realized that he could also summon clouds and rain now, so it wasn’t really a big deal.
Wang Lei clearly also had the ability to transform into lightning. The hit just now was probably his handiwork. It seems that escaping with Cloud Thunder Leap would be unlikely now. Damn it, this is going to be tricky.
Seizing the chance while his foes were busy scoffing and hadn’t launched an attack yet, Xiao Buli quickly used the Freezing Cloud Skills! As the mist shrouded the surrounding environment, Xiao Buli felt somewhat secure, but this sensation was short-lived; soon, the crisp and cold voice of Dian Lan filled the surroundings.
"White fog—I’m used to it. Let’s play hide and seek," she said.
The voice was erratic, sometimes far and sometimes near; Xiao Buli inwardly cursed, realizing this was bad. He had forgotten that the enemy had a top assassin; in a situation where no one could see anyone, what could be more dangerous than an assassin?
Still, he harbored a glimmer of hope; the Freezing Cloud Skills would slow down the enemies within its range, and perhaps he still had a chance.
But he soon discovered that he had been too optimistic; even if their speed was reduced, Dian Lan still had an absolute advantage in terms of speed. After several rounds of struggling in the mist, Xiao Buli became completely disoriented. Had it not been for the protective gear on his body, he probably would not have lasted this long. And now, as Dian Lan focused on his neck, Xiao Buli was finally forced out of the range of the Freezing Cloud Skills. Unfortunately, just as he emerged, he saw Zhang Biao charging straight at him.
All or nothing!
As he prepared to use his Sword Pinching Skills, ready to launch his Ultimate Skills, Zhang Biao suddenly trembled. Experience exclusive tales on novelbuddy
Bang! A gunshot rang out in the night sky, almost unnoticed under the cover of the thunderstorm, but its consequences were very clear. Zhang Biao touched his chest, and when he lifted his hand, it was covered in blood. The blood was quickly washed away by the rain, but the pain did not fade. Seeing the blood gushing continuously from his chest, his eyes showed an expression of disbelief.
"How, how is this possible! I am—undefeated!" He managed to speak before collapsing with a thud. His burly figure suddenly seemed so fragile, brought down by a single bullet—
"It seems the Golden Bell Shield can’t withstand bullets either, can it," Lu Xinying muttered to herself as she lifted her gaze from behind the scope on the rooftop of a residential building.
Xiao Buli was overjoyed, even though he didn’t know who had helped him, this was undoubtedly the best time to make a run for it. He hurriedly ran towards the deserted street. Yan Zhong was about to make a move to stop him when suddenly he felt a throbbing in his brow, sensing something lethal threatening his life. He violently raised his hand to the sky, and a sniper bullet was forcibly suspended mid-air, as if it had entered some extremely viscous material, flying slower and slower, until it finally stopped completely just one meter away from him.
Bang—The second shot rang out, followed by a third. Bullets flew towards him one after another, each freezing in mid-air, but the bullets were getting closer with each shot. By the fifth bullet, it was nearly hitting his face. Yan Zhong felt a sudden intense pain in his brow as he was beginning to lose his ability to withstand it, and he had no choice but to step back before violently swinging his hand forward.
"Take it back!" He yelled as he released all his telekinetic power, sending the five bullets that were suspended in mid-air flying back on their original trajectories.
Lu Xinying realized something was amiss as soon as she saw Yan Zhong wave his hand and quickly dived to the ground. A sound of metal being pierced rang out from above her; it was the noise of solar panels on the rooftop being collateral damage. She looked back and saw that the previously smooth metal plate now had five bullet holes in it.
(That was close!) Lu Xinying thought to herself. She didn’t dare to show her face again, swiftly disassembled the sniper rifle, and jumped off the other side of the rooftop.
Xiao Buli ran as fast as he could. He didn’t know exactly what had happened, but there was no doubt that someone had given him a hand, and now he had to take this opportunity to leave.
All of a sudden, lightning flashed in the sky. Before Xiao Buli could react, a bolt struck five meters away from him, the flying debris blocked by the Spiritual Energy Shield. However, it reminded him that Wang Lei must be attacking him from the sky, probably unable to see his position and thus firing blindly.
Xiao Buli quickly ran in a zigzag pattern, staying as far from the middle of the road as possible, while lightning continued to strike down one after the other. It was unclear whether the other party was too lucky, or his own luck was too lousy, but just as Xiao Buli was about to escape the area covered by the dark clouds, he was hit squarely by a bolt of lightning and sent flying.
Thanks to the Spiritual Energy Shield absorbing much of the damage, and his body clad in top-quality Divine Gear, he was only paralyzed with numbness in his limbs rather than being killed outright. The explosion, however, had disrupted his Invisibility Effect, revealing him just as he became visible.
He heard a rush of footsteps in the rain behind him. He turned to see the raindrops falling to the ground being warped as if an invisible person was quickly approaching him.
It was Dian Lan! Xiao Buli quickly gathered his Palm Thunder. Two seconds were left in the Casting time, but before he could finish, the semi-transparent figure had already charged up to him. Xiao Buli’s pupils contracted and, in the next moment, lightning struck from the sky.
Boom! The explosion flung him out, and the semi-transparent figure also seemed to be hit, flying out and landing in the mud, revealing its shape with a smack.
Xiao Buli struggled to his feet, tasting the saltiness of blood at the corner of his mouth; he must have spat out blood. He wanted to move in to deliver a final blow with his sword but feared another lightning strike from above. Besides, Yan Zhong was also running towards him, so he had no choice but to use Skimming Shadow Steps again and disappeared into the streets.
He got away! Dian Lan’s pretty face was pale as she struggled to her feet. When she saw Yan Zhong, she was suddenly taken aback, "Boss, your hair!"
"Hair?"

Yan Zhong looked puzzled at a glass store window by the street. A flash of lightning reflected his image, revealing that half of his hair had somehow turned white.
"It’s nothing," he shook his head, "Let’s go back and talk. After a sigh, "And bring Zhang Biao’s body with us." (To be continued.
