From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 125 - 110 Sniper Duel, Hunter and Prey_2
Lu Heng bowed his head in thought.
Just a few minutes ago, the attackers had been looking for the tracking device near Wangjiang Pavilion, which meant they had not found Lin Zeyu yet.
Now that they were chasing Wang Xiangfeng with three cars, it indicated that the attackers did not know Lin Zeyu's location and could only pursue Wang Xiangfeng first.
Moreover, there was another key point—what was the attackers' actual target?
As this thought struck Lu Heng, he immediately asked, "Is the contract in the car?"
Wang Xiangfeng was silent for two seconds before he replied, "Yes, the briefcase is on the passenger seat."
"Understood."
Lu Heng roughly understood what was happening and ordered the superpower bodyguard in the car, "Notify everyone, Coastal Bridge Three east interchange, support Wang Xiangfeng, the opponents have a sniper."
The communication privileges of the bodyguards from Huan Yu in the car were cut off, but there were still other ways to relay the command, and it was quickly passed down.
Lu Heng cut off the communication privileges of these people so as to not give the mole first-hand information.
Su Muyu asked, "What about me? Where should I go?"
Lu Heng said, "You come to the third bridge too. Have the scouting hawks look around the park to see if they can find Lin Zeyu's trail, and be careful to use invisibility."
All Huan Yu vehicles turned to head towards the east interchange of Bridge Three, and as they were close to the overpass, they saw three cars chasing one car rushing down from the overpass.
The lead silver SUV was extremely fast, overtaking continuously, causing vehicles on the road to honk incessantly with "beep beep beep."
The three cars behind were not slow either, descending from the overpass like a flash of lightning.
At this speed, even a slight problem could potentially lead them to crash through the guardrail.
Just as the silver SUV was rushing down the overpass, a black sedan burst out from a junction and with a "bang," it hit the rear door of the lead car.
The silver SUV flipped over instantaneously, rolled several times, and finally stopped when it hit the green belt.
All of the vehicle's safety systems activated, and the airbags filled the entire driver's space.
The car body was severely deformed, but fortunately, the impact was on the back door, and the A-pillar of the driver's seat was only bent, not completely broken.
Bang!
The car door was kicked open from the inside, as Wang Xiangfeng, with a bloodied head, rolled out of the car, his eyes dazed, clearly bewildered from the violent crash.
The head of the black sedan was also deformed from the impact but did not flip.
A superpower user wearing a ghost mask got out of the car, walked over, and dragged the briefcase from the SUV's passenger side, opening it to take a look.
The briefcase was empty.
The ghost-masked superpower user, seeing nothing inside the case, instantly grabbed Wang Xiangfeng by the collar in anger and lifted him up to demand, "Where is the stuff?"
Because the communication channel was kept open, Lu Heng could hear this voice.
He had also heard the sound of the car crash.
The questioning voice had a strange accent, clearly not belonging to a person from Da Xia.
Wang Xiangfeng, already somewhat stunned, grinned and said, "Behind you."
The "Ghost-faced Man" turned to look, only to see someone charging at a speed beyond human understanding—someone who, in the midst of moving, had also drawn a long sword that emitted a faint blue, ghostly glow.
Of course, it was Lu Heng. As soon as the car was close, he leapt out, activated Gale Step to the second stage for acceleration, and rushed over at a speed faster than a motorcycle.
The "Ghost-faced Man" snorted coldly, discarded Wang Xiangfeng, drew a glaringly sharp tachi, and held it in front of himself, ready for combat.
Lu Heng lunged forward and led with the Cloud Piercing Style of the Step Sword Seven Styles, stabbing directly at the "Ghost-faced Man's" throat.
The "Ghost-faced Man" swept his tachi upward, lifting it to block the Aurora Blade.
When Lu Heng executed the Cloud Piercing Style, he had not used his full strength, leaving a third of his power in reserve. At the moment the sword clashed with the tachi, he suddenly changed his move.
Only after mastering the Step Sword Seven Styles to the In-depth Level and reaching the Conception Level—or at least the cusp of it—could one attempt the subsequent change in move.
The change required more than just In-depth Level mastery; it also demanded greater control over the nuances of the moves, as well as a faster speed.
Lu Heng's swordsmanship had already reached the second half of the In-depth Level, and with his past life's experience, he was able to try the advanced changing moves.
In the instant the sword and tachi collided, Lu Heng executed the exquisite change known as "Swallow Reversing Body."
The slash of the Aurora Blade suddenly twisted, grazing past the side of the tachi and sparking a trail of fire, escaping the block of the blade. Then, the sword light flashed and drove straight into the neck of the "Ghost-faced Man."
Gurgle!

Blood splattered as the blade sank into the throat, and the "Ghost-faced Man" toppled over spinning in place.
Lu Heng crouched down to check on Wang Xiangfeng, "Are you all right?"
"Sniper... sniper..." Wang Xiangfeng murmured with his last bit of strength as a warning.
Lu Heng pulled him behind the green belt to avoid potential sniper shooting angles.
Then, he walked back, severed the "Ghost-faced Man's" head, held it in his hand, turned around, and looked in the direction from which the chasing cars were coming.
Huan Yu vehicles had also arrived and were engaged in intense gunfire with the three chasing vehicles.
If the enemies had a sniper, it was unlikely the sniper would be following the cars.
Considering how far Wang Xiangfeng had driven, it was unlikely the sniper had run ahead; they should be in the direction from which they had come.
Therefore, Lu Heng, holding the "Ghost-faced Man's" head, looked back in the direction they had come from, waiting for the sniper to take a shot, speaking through the communication channel, "Mu Yu, watch out for the sniper, he might be on one of the surrounding buildings. He should try to shoot me."
The attackers had been using tachis, and now that Lu Heng was showing off the "Ghost-faced Man's" head as a threat, the sniper would surely take a shot.
Lu Heng's gaze swept across the buildings in front, waiting for the flash from a sniper rifle.
