356: Chapter 356 Barrett’s Debut 356: Chapter 356 Barrett’s Debut “Form the defense formation, quickly,” Coscola shouted aloud. Only then did the people in the team snap out of their daze, but despite having more than two thousand individuals, the formation was in complete disarray. Panic painted everyone’s faces, highlighting the gap between true soldiers and those merely masquerading as such. The Mad Lion Mercenary Group, on the other hand, moved swiftly, securing their positions in the blink of an eye. Yet these positions were rather delicate, set up for both offense and defense, allowing for retreat at the first sign of failure. Coscola glanced at the spot where Karan and the others were, frowning slightly, but he said nothing. After all, in such a situation, it was already commendable that they had not fled immediately. In fact, even if they had chosen to escape, it was unlikely that the opposition would have tried to stop them. Such a significant incident could not possibly remain hidden, so there was no need for deliberate silencing. The strength of the Mad Lion Mercenary Group was not to be underestimated either; if they insisted on staying, the Xue Feng Thief Group would inevitably suffer some losses. “Sir, they have started to accelerate,” Qiao Miya stated gravely next to Zhao Guang. Although he was not overly familiar with military affairs, he had some understanding. With the cavalry beginning to speed up, it meant they had entered the range of attack. At this moment, without even uttering a word, the acceleration signified that the attack had begun. Zhao Guang, standing behind a cart, nodded slightly: “They have also entered my attack range.” The mere distance of less than two hundred meters fell within the optimal range for a sniper rifle to be effective. Moreover, with the enemy already charging, the opportunity for them to dodge had significantly decreased. The people of this world were indeed strong, but they also had rules to follow. Moreover, they were unaware of the nature of the items Zhao Guang was carrying. Otherwise, given their strength, if they had sought cover to protect themselves, Zhao Guang would have genuinely been at a loss. Such carefree targets that don’t dodge bullets were hard to come by. Aiming and firing, accompanied by a tremendous blast, he completed all actions in one fluid motion. Protected by the Anti-Magic Rune, the bullets were unaffected even as they sped out of the barrel. Once the bullets were fully activated, the Magic Elements had little effect on this pure physical attack. Here, the Barrett rifle manifested its fearsome power to the fullest. On the opposing side, Xue Feng suddenly felt an immense danger approaching. Looking up, he saw a tiny object hurtling towards him at a terrifying speed. At that instant, he realized he likely had no chance to evade. Even if he had not been in the middle of a charge, that speed far exceeded his limit to dodge. What was this object, and why was it so incredibly fast? Without time to ponder, Xue Feng focused all his kinetic energy into his long sword in hand. A horrifying Sword Qi instantly thrust forward, the surrounding air giving rise to flecks of frost. This manifestation of Ice Attribute Combat Energy indicated that the opponent’s Cultivation Technique was anything but simple. Suddenly, an explosion sounded— the bullet had been shattered by a single sword strike. However, the bullet’s enormous kinetic energy brought the fiercely charging Xue Feng to a sudden halt. If one looked closely, they could even spot tiny indentations that had appeared on him. The weapon quality didn’t make the cut, the Combat Energy was hastily gathered; otherwise, it wouldn’t have come to this. Zhao Guang’s eyes were incredibly sharp, and he immediately noticed that Xue Feng’s complexion had gone somewhat pale. Good, the power of the Barrett was indeed immense. Even an advanced warrior couldn’t possibly remain unscathed after taking such a bullet. Zhao Guang quickly worked the bolt of his rifle and followed up with another shot, giving his adversary no chance to recover. It wasn’t until this moment that Xue Feng finally heard the first gunshot. The iron ball flew faster than the speed of sound; sensing the power, Xue Feng immediately realized what was happening. But then, another bullet came flying toward him. Without any other option, Xue Feng lowered his tired right hand and drew a javelin from beside him, quickly imbuing it with dense Combat Energy. With a “bang,” the javelin shattered completely, but the bullet was deflected off its original trajectory. Xue Feng’s left hand was torn with gashes, and blood was streaming from the tiger’s mouth. Still, Xue Feng’s eyes were fixed intently ahead, for Zhao Guang did not hesitate and fired another shot. The third bullet flew towards him, and at this moment, even an advanced knight like Xue Feng felt his Combat Energy sink into a state of immersion. His Lifebound Battle Skill was for offense and did not include the Defense Type. Facing such a fearsome attack, his weaknesses finally showed. Because the Combat Energy he had rushed to muster was scattered, he now found himself temporarily exhausted. Barely stirring his Combat Energy to shield himself, Xue Feng instinctively tried to dodge but found his body in a state of numbness and soreness. Xue Feng, who had exceptional vision, could easily see the bullet aimed straight at him. Yet, at this moment, there was nothing he could do but watch helplessly as the bullet hit his arm, which he had reflexively lifted to shield his face in haste. The massive kinetic force instantly tore through the thin layer of Combat Energy and exploded his arm. The remaining force struck his chest, depleting its energy almost completely; but it blew a huge hole in Xue Feng’s chest. To the naked eye, one could see his still-beating heart, covered in wounds. With each beat, blood would spray out, quickly drenching the surrounding area in red. At this moment, the people beside Xue Feng still hadn’t grasped what had happened. Why did their leader slow down just after a few explosive sounds? Xue Feng was at the front, so those behind hadn’t realized what had occurred. It wasn’t until Xue Feng fell that they saw their leader’s dreadful condition. “Leader, leader, what happened?” “No good, it’s a trap, let’s retreat.” Although they said so, they were powerless to change anything, as they were all in a state of charging. In such a state, slowing down wasn’t something that could be done in a short time. Not to mention the soldiers behind, who were even more oblivious to what had happened up front, merely following the rest of the troop forward as they always did. At this moment, it was not only the enemies who were confounded but even their own side was left in shock. Karan was filled with regret in his heart, wishing he had known earlier that Zhao Guang had such a formidable alchemy weapon in his possession—why had he spoken as he did before? Now there was trouble; his credibility would be at stake in the future. But what could he do now? His only option was to wash away his disgrace with the blood of his enemies.
