Chapter 536: Repelling the Attack

"Screech—" Hearing the sudden gunshot, the driver was startled and instinctively slammed on the brakes.

The massive inertia from the vehicle's sudden stop caused Seitenshi to let out a muffled grunt, her body pitching toward Lingyun.

Lingyun flicked his left hand, and an invisible force released from his palm, shielding Seitenshi so she would not fall directly onto him.

Just at this moment, a Flash streaked across the top of a tall building in the distance once more.

Lingyun did not hesitate; his Divine Sense locked onto the rapidly flying bullet, and he pulled the trigger again.

The orange-yellow bullet, carrying immense kinetic energy, once again collided head-on with the rapidly flying sniper bullet.

"This, this, you've got to be kidding me!" Tina, hiding at the top of the high-rise, couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She no longer had the dazed appearance Lingyun had seen earlier; a powerful killing intent radiated from her body. In her hands, she gripped an anti-tank rifle, having witnessed this astonishing scene through the rifle's scope.

One must know that in this world, anyone capable of hitting a target from over a thousand meters away is called a master sniper. Tina was a Cursed Child who had mastered this very skill, and it was precisely because she possessed this ability that she had been sent by her master to carry out the mission of assassinating Seitenshi.

But what was she seeing now? Someone had actually used a bullet fired from a handgun to hit the special bullet she had launched. If it were once, it might be a coincidence. But if this was a capability mastered by her opponent, then it was absolutely a god-like skill.

"Get out of the car, quickly!" Lingyun kicked the car door open and leaped out, grabbing Seitenshi by the arm.

At the same time, the surrounding security officers also quickly exited the vehicle, gathering around Seitenshi to form a human wall.

"Quick, quick, take Lady Seitenshi behind the building!" Baoxie Zhuoren shouted loudly.

Atop the high-rise, Tina once again aimed her muzzle at Seitenshi. Although the curtain of rain made it impossible for Tina to see the faces of the people there clearly, Seitenshi's unique attire was far too easy to identify!

Without hesitation, Tina fired a third shot in Seitenshi's direction; the muzzle of the anti-tank sniper rifle emitted a deadly flame, and the third bullet sprayed out. As for the security officers forming a human wall around Seitenshi, Tina did not take them into account; this special bullet was enough to send them and Seitenshi to the afterlife together. Of course, this was assuming no accidents occurred.

"Sniping from nearly a thousand meters away; the abilities of the Cursed Children are truly quite terrifying!" Lingyun glanced slightly in the direction where the Flash had appeared.

"And a third shot? She really isn't afraid of death; it seems she hasn't undergone professional training!" Within Lingyun's Divine Sense Domain, three palm-sized spherical objects suddenly appeared, and at the same time, another bullet had already breached his Divine Sense Domain.

Lingyun's body turned abruptly, and four flashes suddenly appeared beside him; four bullets streaked past him almost simultaneously.

"Boom—" This was the sound of the sniper bullet exploding after being intercepted by Lingyun's bullet.

Simultaneously, three buzzing sounds rang out; those were the sounds of unidentified flying objects hovering in mid-air being pierced through by bullets.

"No, that's impossible, the Field of Fairies was actually shot down!" Detecting that the small reconnaissance drone, the Field of Fairies, which she had released, had lost its signal at the same instant, Tina's pupils shrank to the size of pinpricks.

Just as Tina was shocked, she discovered through the sniper scope that the opponent seemed to have fired in her direction. A deadly sense of crisis stimulated Tina's nerves; the red in her pupils deepened by a few shades in an instant, and in that moment, Tina even felt that everything around her had slowed down. Under these circumstances, Tina hugged her sniper rifle and rolled violently, dodging Lingyun's bullet at the very last second.

The bullet grazed past Tina, and she could even feel the intense heat radiating from around the bullet.

Immediately after, an even more surprising scene appeared to her; in her vision where everything around her was slowed, that bullet actually shattered, forming a large net connected by light, instantly shrouding the position where she had just been.

If she hadn't dodged just now, she would likely be trapped in this strange net right now. Her intuition told her that if she were truly caught in this large net, she would never escape the fate of being captured.

"What, what kind of bullet is this?" Tina's pupils constricted.

"Tsk, she dodged it?" Lingyun shook his head slightly.

In his perception, at the critical moment when his capture bullet was about to hit, the sniper's speed had suddenly increased several times over, narrowly dodging his capture net. And the opponent's current position was his blind spot for shooting; he couldn't hit her with this bullet alone.

As for chasing her, Lingyun didn't have that thought for the moment; after all, he didn't know if this was the only person assassinating Seitenshi. If he left, and something else happened on the road, relying only on the security officers around Seitenshi, Seitenshi would likely be completely finished.

"Mr. Lingyun?" Looking at Lingyun who had appeared before her, Seitenshi asked with some confusion.

Seitenshi was now soaked through from head to toe, and with her pale face, she looked even more pitiful.

"The sniper has fled, but I am not certain if this situation will only happen once. We are abandoning the previously planned route and changing course to return to the Seikyo!" Lingyun's tone carried a hint of indisputability.

Baoxie Zhuoren, standing to the side, wanted to say something, but Seitenshi had already spoken: "I will leave the next route to you, Mr. Lingyun!"

Hearing Seitenshi say this, Baoxie Zhuoren could only grit his teeth in resentment and say nothing more.

"Master, I failed!" Tina hugged her sniper rifle and flashed quickly into the stairwell, simultaneously dialing a phone. "There is an extremely formidable Civil Security Officer beside the target; even the Field of Fairies was shot down!"

Speaking to this point, there was a hint of disbelief in Tina's tone; after all, being able to hit such a small reconnaissance drone with a handgun bullet in the rainy night was a capability shocking enough to stun the world!

"Civil Security Officer? Shot down the Field of Fairies? Did you see clearly who the person was?" A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Did you see what that Civil Security Officer looked like?"

"I did, but because of the distance and the darkness and the rain, I didn't see the person's face clearly!" Tina said.

"Is that so?" The other party replied, wondering what he was thinking.

Hanging up the phone, Tina hugged her sniper rifle and looked at the sky, muttering to herself: "To dare to hinder me, who, exactly are you?"

Lingyun Town, confidential server room.

Su Wanyue was typing rapidly on the keyboard; on the screen in front of her was a map of Meiguo. As Su Wanyue continued to input commands, the scope of the map kept shrinking.

"Tsk, the phone hung up; the other party is still very cautious!" Su Wanyue stopped her fingers and said with some helplessness.

"No, this range is already enough!" Chen Jing looked at the map displayed on the screen and spoke slowly.
