Fatal Shot

“F*ck, a Light Armor Warrior versus a Sniper! He should have been able to handle taking down our target, but he did not even last more than five seconds before being killed. He was too f*cking useless!”

While looking at the headshot wound on the Light Armor Warrior’s corpse, Young Master Sun grimaced under his white curly hair as if he was suffering from constipation.

One of the September Guild Snipers stared at Long Hair’s body before investigating it carefully. After making his observations, he felt a chill creep up his neck and took a deep breath in.

“Our enemy’s damage is too high. Based on the evidence left here, one bullet was all it took to pierce through Long Hair’s helmet and to kill him.”

Another Sniper, who had apparently watched videos on the forum of Feng Luo fighting on the Devil Tri-Horn Island, spoke in a worrying tone.

“Could it be that the speculations on the forum are true? Apart from awakening the Force, he has also completed the Legendary Grade sniper rifle set as well as acquired an S-Grade attack talent!”

“To actually succeed in escaping an attack like this… If he were to travel a great distance from us and use his pet to summon a bunch of wild monsters…”

The two Snipers’ conversation caused September Night Rain to grimace while Young Master Sun glared at them both in anger.

“No matter what, Mouse and Five are already in hot pursuit of our target. With their equipment and strength, they will definitely be able to kill that Feng Zhi Luo Ye!” said the Fire Manipulator who had once provoked Feng Luo. He hoped his comment would calm down Young Master Sun.

Only the two Light Armor Warriors, Mouse and Five, went to chase Feng Luo. The rest of the September Guild members had stopped at the spot where Long Hair’s corpse lay.

Although they all wanted to purse Feng Luo, the team consisted of only gunners, manipulators, one Heavy Armor Warrior, and one Doctor.

Upon witnessing Feng Luo’s speed, they’d be kidding themselves if they thought that those who weren’t Light Armor Warriors could catch up to him!

Moreover, the area beyond the slope was a dense subtropical jungle. Long-range professions would find it incredibly difficult to hit their targets in such a place.

“His speed was crazy fast! He even had a manipulator’s energy shield, which is stronger than most shields. If it were someone else, they would have been dead after the first round of our attacks. Furthermore, the Earth Energy Wall I conjured up was perfectly placed! How could he have reacted to it on time while he was running so fast?!” The Earth Manipulator was quite puzzled and left with many questions.

Another Sniper player, with a look of admiration, said, “Could it be a Legendary Grade item’s skill? After all, people who have awakened the Force can use the skills of Legendary Grade items!”

“Legendary?! As if! He survived and escaped because you are all a bunch of useless idiots. If my Legendary Machine Gun were complete, Feng Zhi Luo Ye, even with his Legendary gears and energy shield, would have been torn into pieces.” Young Master Sun scowled at all of them. Although he thought some of their predictions about Feng Luo were true, he refused to speak up in agreement with them.

“Young Master Sun, they left this behind!”

At that moment, a Scout player walking up the slope toward them was carrying the box containing the Cerebrate.

“They did not have this box with them when they entered the site. This must be something they retrieved from the abandoned ruin. It cannot be stored inside an inventory, yet they took the trouble of carrying it with them. Therefore, it must be incredibly important!” The Scout player had spoken with excitement.

“Important item? Hurry up then! Open it!”

Young Master Sun’s face relaxed slightly as he was filled with curiosity. However, after opening the box, his expression changed again.

“F*ck! What the hell is this shit?!”

The Cerebrate’s corpse was incredibly disgusting. Furthermore, due to the attacks they had unleashed on the Nightless Club, the corpse had a few more bullet holes on its body. Nothing about it was visually pleasing at the moment.

The Scout player immediately used the Detect skill on the lifeless Cerebrate.

[A Zerg Cerebrate corpse that has been acquired as a mission item. Other stats and details cannot be detected.]

“F*ck! Close it now!”

Young Master Sun retreated two steps. His face was filled with disgust.

“Since it’s a mission item, bring it along with us. We’ll return directly to Storm City and have an NPC appraise it. If it’s valuable, we’ll sell it to NPCs. If it’s not, we can just get rid of it. Since this thing is now in my hands, they can forget about completing that mission!” said Young Master Sun with a proud look on his face.

“Uh, Young Master Sun? Wouldn’t that be inappropriate to do?” A Water Manipulator looked at Young Master Sun and cautiously said, “This PK battle is fine because they did attack and kill all of us in the abandoned ruin last time. So, it’s fine if we get revenge. However, if this mission of theirs is very important, and we destroy this mission item, wouldn’t it make things unresolvable between our teams in the future? After all, the Nightless Club is still a subsidiary of the Lu Conglomerate…”

“That is not our problem! Are you worried about Lu Chen’s attitude? Let me tell you the truth. The Sun and Lu families are not as simple as you would imagine them to be. My dad connected us with the Lu Conglomerate and got us to work with the September Guild for a reason. Also, if not for our Sun family, the Lu Conglomerate would never have developed into their current state! Most importantly, Lu Chen could not wait for the Nightless Club to become enemies of our September Guild,” said Young Master Sun. He seemed to be insinuating something.

However, after that, he turned around to look at September Night Rain.

“However, if my dad asks about this, Brother Night, you’ll have to help me explain. The reason I am out here today is to help you attack Feng Zhi Luo Ye.”

Although Young Master Sun was temperamental, he was still rather clever. Due to these qualities, he was quite similar to the Rui family’s Young Master Xing.

“Yes,” replied September Night Rain. However, his dark and sunken eyes were still staring at the forest.

Young Master Sun, as the third son of the Sun family, still had decent financial strength. However, this did not mean that September Night Rain needed to fawn over him continuously.

Furthermore, even though Young Master Sun was considered an heir to his family, they had given up on grooming him into an eligible successor because he was too useless and reckless.

However, his father was still the person in charge of the Sun Conglomerate, which was a shareholder of the September Guild. Therefore, September Night Rain still needed to show Young Master Sun respect. At this moment, though, September Night Rain was in a really bad mood.

He was bothered because Feng Luo had actually managed to escape!

He had prepared three insurance backup plans for this ambush, yet his enemy still got away!

His plan for revenge was to destroy Feng Luo while his fame was at its peak. September Night Rain, who had his video recording function on, was now in an incredibly irritable state!

“Mouse and Five, the two of you better show me you can handle this! If you both cannot kill him, then do not bother coming back!” shouted Young Master Sun. He had turned to the party channel to yell at the two Light Armor Warriors pursuing Feng Luo.

“Young Master Sun, we are trying to chase him, but he is too fast! Moreover…” One of the Light Armor Warriors responded through the communication channel while panting heavily. However, before the conversation could continue, a panicked shout came from the other side. “F*ck me!”

“Bang!”

At that moment, the sound of a gunshot came from within the forest!

“Ugh!”

Through the communication device came the shout of the other Light Armor Warrior.

Immediately following his shout was a bunch of crackling sounds. Then came the sound of his throat getting sliced. After that, there was nothing. Just silence.

Since the party channel could not display the status of a teammate that was out of range, none of them understood what had just happened!

A Scout player whispered, “In truth, did we forget something? This Feng Zhi Luo Ye isn’t just a Sniper. The forum did say that his hidden profession is called Special Agent. It is also suspected that he has a second profession as either a Scout or a warrior!”

September Night Rain’s face sunk.

It was clear that the words “hidden profession and “special agent” had poked at a particular spot in September Night Rain’s heart.

“Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get your stuff so we can retreat! He is a Sniper who has already escaped our ambush! Are you waiting for him to come back and pick us off one by one!?” shouted Young Master Sun in a flustered and exasperated voice.
