Chapter 980 - Untainted (1/2)

Above the barrier, the sound of the sniper's bullets hitting it was like a copper bell ringing over their heads.

Truly, the barrier was very strong. It did not really break even after being blasted by 15 to 16 sniper shots, and it even seemed like it could continue to hold for a long time.

Yang Xiaojin's shoulder was still aching from all the shots she had taken back at Mt. Zuoyun, which nearly crippled her shoulder. Her injury was definitely not something that would heal within a day or two.

But she just frowned and continued firing at the barrier without stopping. Each time she fired a shot, the huge recoil of the black sniper rifle would cause the buttstock to hit her already injured shoulder. But even if it hurt, she did not care.

Yang Xiaojin was only concerned with being present on this occasion that Ren Xiaosu had risked his life to fight for.

The superhuman in the barrier hurriedly used his own mental strength to reinforce the area being fired upon. However, the speed at which he was reinforcing it was not as fast as the other party's attacks!

Moreover, the sniper did not seem to have any intention of giving up, with every shot consistently fired at the same spot.

Shot after shot, they came fast and intense. There was no end to it.

For some reason, the superhuman in the barrier suddenly felt a little scared. He saw the spider web cracks getting larger and larger. This was the first time he had seen someone so insistent on breaking his barrier.

Logically, it was already very strong for being able to withstand so many shots from an anti-materiel sniper rifle.

But at some point, the sound of glass shattering could seemingly be heard throughout the entire world. The light blue translucent barrier shattered into pieces before the ”debris” dissipated in the air.

The superhuman who set up the barrier spat blood and suffered huge backlash.

When the other superhuman saw that their plan had completely failed, he hurriedly fled.

He did not even care about his injured companion coughing up blood. It was not that he was cold-blooded or heartless, but that the training they had received and mission requirements were just like that. If the plan failed, they would have to quickly retreat and not attempt to save their comrades.

Luo Lan looked at Yang Xiaojin, who was on top of a tall building not far away. She was wearing a cap and a rain poncho as she started locking onto her target through the scope.

”Both husband and wife are here. Don't you feel like you're a divine general or something?” Luo Lan said excitedly.

Zhou Qi said helplessly, ”You're a superhuman yourself, so why don't you think about how to raise your power level instead of relying on others?”

Luo Lan thought for a moment and explained, ”Actually, this power of mine is a little cruel. The soldiers fought for the Qing Consortium for so long, yet they still can't find peace after death. No matter how I think about it, I can't justify it.”

”Whatever.” Zhou Qi suddenly felt that Luo Lan's awakened power was a little contradictory. Although it could be a very powerful skill, Luo Lan himself was unwilling to use it.

That was because Luo Lan felt the Martyr's Palace was not the best place for the martyred spirits to return to.

He could not bear to see the soldiers suffer endless darkness in the Martyr's Palace after their deaths. To him, that darkness was like a punishment for bringing them back from the dead, something which transcended the laws of nature.

The crack of the sniper rifle could be heard again. The bullet fired from the high-rise building hit the back of the fleeing superhuman. It was only one shot, but it was enough to leave him lying still on the ground.

But a few seconds later, that hitman's corpse gradually disintegrated to nothing.

Yang Xiaojin frowned. Could this be a kind of substitute power? She had not expected him to get away in the end.
