Stronger from Earth-Chapter 51: Dark Hunting Defeated and Fleeing
"Blood Hand, Thousand Shadows seniors, we’re here to help you!"
The Grey Wolf and White Wolf, bloodied, rushed forward to join the battle with Zhou Minglun, Qin Hu, and the others. Instantly, it was a four-on-four situation. The martial arts master known as Thousand Shadows faced Qin Hu with a crushing force.
The moves were incredibly fast, each punch leaving a series of shadows.
One punch, two punches, three punches.
Hit in the chest and back, if not for guarding his head, Qin Hu would have been killed already. Even after taking three punches from this martial arts master, three black fist seals appeared on his body, and he was thrown over ten meters away.
Immediately, Thousand Shadows and Blood Hand joined forces to fight against the martial arts master with the surname Chen, forcing him to retreat, dodging the attacks. Clearly, it wouldn’t be long before he couldn’t hold on.
"There are two more snipers!"
Wang Xuan had just taken down one person when he received Shen Yuan’s warning. The Three Wolves had already moved forward, and here, they were being suppressed in combat.
"Bang! Bang!"
Qin Hu and the others were less than a hundred meters from him when two gunshots rang out. Grey Wolf and White Wolf’s chests exploded, their bodies splitting into dozens of pieces, a bloody and terrifying sight.
Wang Xuan stood with his gun, having spotted Golden Wolf’s figure, as had the other. The little fox had already scampered up a tree, its small eyes darting around quickly.
In a flash, they both moved.
The soil beneath Golden Wolf’s feet exploded, and his figure vanished, moving at an astonishing speed while keeping an eye on Wang Xuan’s actions.
The sniper rifle shifted with his movement, and Wang Xuan immediately fired.
"Bang!"
A large tree as thick as a man’s waist exploded right behind Golden Wolf, wood chips flying, the tree crashing down with a creak.
Unfortunately, it missed.
Golden Wolf’s figure drew closer, covering 30 to 40 meters in the blink of an eye, now just 70 to 80 meters from Wang Xuan.
In one more breath, he would be upon him.
At this moment, Wang Xuan felt the urgency in his heart, but his sniper rifle remained steady, eyes sharply focused on Golden Wolf.
One step, two steps, as Golden Wolf changed directions, Wang Xuan fired.
"Pfft!"
A spray of blood appeared, a thumb-sized chunk of flesh was torn from Golden Wolf’s neck, blood spurted out with the violent pounding of his heart, like a fountain, yet he did not stop moving.
"So close, do you still have a chance to shoot?" Golden Wolf sneered inwardly, and as his muscles shifted, the blood flow in his neck abruptly slowed, the circulation in that blood vessel blocked, his heartbeat slowing down.
If the bleeding didn’t stop, he would go into shock. He could only stop the bleeding like this, even if it meant his combat power would be compromised, unable to go all out.
In a breath, he was ten meters in front of Wang Xuan, a very dangerous distance for a sniper, because a martial artist’s movements were too fast; perhaps the moment you raised your gun, your neck would be broken.
Wang Xuan tossed aside the sniper rifle, letting it hang between the tree branches, an action that made Golden Wolf raise an eyebrow.
"Giving up? Yes, at such close range in front of a Blood Exchange Cultivator, there’s only a dead end for you." Golden Wolf’s arm lashed like a steel whip, closing in directly.
Clang!
A flash of a saber, Wang Xuan drew his blade, moving forward with the force of a Wild Bull, and slashed down!
The saber was fast, faster than a bullet!
The saber was fierce, unstoppable!
The saber was heavy, even an iron wall would be split by Wang Xuan!
"I’m impervious to blades and bullets, my defense is superior to the Perfect Realm’s Horizontal Training, what can you do to me?" Golden Wolf was extremely confident, as his steel whip-like arm lifted, fingers like steel pincers about to clamp down on Wang Xuan’s descending blade.
In an instant, Wang Xuan’s blade arrived.
The saber fell!
From top to bottom, the power fully unleashed.
The long saber descended from the top of Golden Wolf’s head, saber qi entering his body.
Immediately, blood splattered three feet!
One arm was severed, a fist-sized gap opened between Golden Wolf’s left and right cheeks, his face filled with unwillingness, unwilling to die like this.
Snap!
Golden Wolf split in two from the middle, as dead as can be.
Wang Xuan panted heavily, his heart racing like a deer, the surging qi and blood rushing through his body, momentary exertion leaving him somewhat depleted.
He glanced at Golden Wolf, feeling a bit fortunate that if not for Golden Wolf’s underestimation of him, daring to directly meet his blade with an arm, he wouldn’t have been able to kill the enemy with the blade.
"Using Wind-Chasing Leg to accelerate, Life Generating Technique to bolster strength, and Overlord Saber’s full-force slash, such an attack exhausted my power, and you dared to underestimate it, if not you, who should die?"
Perfect Realm Overlord Saber, Perfect Realm Wind-Chasing Leg, fourth layer of Life Generating Technique, and his strength a few degrees greater than Bone Marrow Refining cultivators, comparable to Blood Exchange cultivators.
Such a slash was no less mighty than a full-strength strike from a typical Blood Exchange cultivator.
Wang Xuan laughed, this was the first martial arts master in the Blood Exchange Realm he had killed, even if the opponent underestimated him, even if previously hit in the artery by a sniper, it was still his glorious achievement.
The little fox chirped, its face filled with incredulous surprise, not expecting Wang Xuan to have taken down a martial arts master.
In a chilling instant, a cold sensation shot from the base of Wang Xuan’s spine to the top of his head, the ominous feeling of being targeted.
Not good!
"Bang!"
A bullet flew from afar, skimming across Wang Xuan’s scalp even as he ducked in advance, leaving a bloody streak.
Wang Xuan retrieved the sniper rifle, the little fox once again perching on his left shoulder, pain flooding his brain, he didn’t need to check to know his head was now certainly bleeding profusely.
"Damn it, I actually got hit by a bullet, what a disgrace for me as a sharpshooter," Wang Xuan’s good mood vanished, having almost been shot in the head.
Hiding his position, Wang Xuan stood with his gun, aiming at the martial arts master fighting with Zhou Minglun and Zou Ping. The sharp focus like a thorn on the back made the Blood Exchange cultivator called Thousand Shadows uneasy.
Distracted for a moment, Thousand Shadows was hit in the chest by Zhou Minglun’s punch, staggering back three steps. At that moment, a bullet zoomed in, creating a vacuum in the air, striking his thigh with a bang.
Pfft!
The martial arts master of steel bones didn’t have his leg blown into pieces, but it did create a bloody hole, the bullet breaking his bone, his whole body went soft, nearly collapsing.
"Run!"
Thousand Shadows roared a warning to his companion Blood Hand, crawling on the ground like a spider, his bloodied leg dragging behind as he fled.
The sound of swift movement echoed, and this martial arts master’s crawl was surprisingly not much slower than walking on two feet, his entire muscles mobilized, no sign of hesitation, truly resembling a crawling creature more than a reptile.
Blood Hand saw that the Three Wolves were dead, Thousand Shadows escaped, and from afar, Wang Xuan the sharpshooter was glaring. Knowing further fighting would be unwise, he punched Elder Chen away and retreated with flickering steps.
At this point, Captain Yan Hua and the martial arts master had already killed several people. Dark Hunting, apart from the leader and a Peak of Marrow Refining member, was left with only a few support members and two snipers.
"Retreat!"
At his command, the team members withdrew, fleeing after taking several hits.
"Think you can leave?"
Wang Xuan had already climbed to the treetop, coldly eyeing the few snipers with guns.
The figures of Dark Hunting weaved through the forest, appearing and disappearing, escaping a hundred meters in mere breaths.
"Bang!"
Wang Xuan fired a shot, then aimed again.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Three bursts of blood emerged, as he hit three retreating snipers, two killed outright, one saved by Executioner Shield No. 1, the shockwave breaking many of his bones, collapsing with a thud, killed by the pursuing Yan Hua.
The rest of Dark Hunting’s members did not look back, having no intention to fight further, otherwise more would die.
After a few minutes of pursuit, Dark Hunting’s figures vanished, leaving only several corpses behind.
In this battle, they suffered a thorough defeat, ultimately slinking away.
