Myth Beyond Heaven

"What the…" Ross was shocked to the core. He hurriedly moved his gun around, but he couldn't find a trace of Yun Lintian.

Puff!

"Ugh!" In that instant, Yun Lintian suddenly reappeared behind a man beside Ross and cut his throat mercilessly.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing all over Ross. The warm sensation made Ross's body jolt awake in shock. He abruptly turned around, but Yun Lintian was nowhere to be seen now.

Puff!

In the next moment, another man on the leftmost had also suffered the same treatment from Yun Lintian. He clutched his throat with a look of horror written all over his face and died on the spot.

"G-ghost!" Ross's men couldn't help shouting aloud upon witnessing this bizarre scene and started randomly shooting. Bullets flew in all directions and almost hit each other.

Ross avoided the bullets and scolded angrily. "Are you trying to kill me? Stop shooting and form a circle formation!"

Ross's words were surprisingly working. His men immediately regained their composure and formed a circle with their backs against each other.

Ross took a deep breath to suppress the shock and fear in his heart while pointing the gun around, waiting for Yun Lintian to appear. At the same time, his mind kept replaying the unbelievable scene earlier over and over again. Yun Lintian's movement was genuinely beyond his comprehension now.

Before this, he always believed Yun Lintian was at best reaching the fastest speed that humans could achieve. It didn't seem to be the case now. This was obviously beyond human capability.

"He's here!" One among them suddenly shouted and pulled the trigger as soon as he saw Yun Lintian appear before him. However, the shots didn't hit the target as he expected because Yun Lintian had already disappeared once again.

Puff!

While everyone turned their head to look in that direction, Yun Lintian reappeared behind another man beside Ross and killed him on the spot before disappearing once again.

"Argh!" The same scene kept replaying one after another until only Ross left. He looked at his comrades' corpses with trembling legs. His face was ghastly pale, and his teeth kept grounding together involuntarily.

Overwhelming fear shrouded his heart as Ross suddenly recalled the report he received a long time ago. It was said all the Hell Church members in that base were slaughtered mercilessly without knowing who the enemy was… Could it be… it was Yun Lintian's works?

"You are the last one now…." Yun Lintian's cold voice suddenly resounded behind Ross, causing him to abruptly turn around and pull the trigger. However, nothing could be found as soon as he turned around. All the bullets were wasted once again.

Freezing cold gradually pierced into Ross's skins. He didn't know whether it was coming from the heavy rain or the fear in his heart. His mind was in a mess, not knowing how to deal with the situation before him.

Ross started regretting coming here. He was too eager to get merit and believed it should be an easy mission with the help of Zhu Ding. Turned out he was wrong. Everything was wrong from the beginning.

It was also at this time did he realize Zhu Ding was likely to hide some information from him. He couldn't help feeling both angry and bitter at the moment.

"Why don't you come out and fight with me in a fair and square manner?" Ross mustered his courage and shouted.

"Are you sure?" Yun Lintian's voice drifted into Ross's ears from a distance.

Ross didn't waste his energy to look at Yun Lintian but gritted his teeth and said. "Yes! Aren't you a dignified Cloud Shadow team leader? Why don't we go with the old rule?"

As his voice fell, Ross threw the gun and other weapons on his body away. He took out the combat knife and posted a close combat stance.

Yun Lintian's figure gradually appeared a few steps from Ross with the combat knife in his hand. He looked at Ross and said with a smile. "It seems you still have some dignities left after shamelessly attacking me with people for all this time."

Ross's face flushed red in embarrassment. He couldn't stand Yun Lintian's sarcastic remarks and hurriedly shouted. "Come!"

Following that, he slowly moved in a circle while staring at Yun Lintian cautiously. He knew that if he didn't take the initiative to attack first, he would definitely die without a chance to fight back.

Ross took a deep breath and rushed forward at full speed. He quickly stabbed the knife toward Yun Lintian's chest as soon as he arrived before him. His eyes glowed with ecstasy when he saw Yun Lintian didn't move away… Could it be he run out of his strength now?

However, Ross's fantasy immediately interrupted with a sharp pain in his wrist. He didn't even scream as he was too shocked to see his hand was already disappearing.

"Sorry. It's too fast, right?… I'll slow down then." Yun Lintian grinned and reached out to grab Ross's arm. He pulled the latter close to him and stabbed deep into his belly.

"Seriously… you shouldn't come to me. I have already washed my hands and choose to stay dormant forever." Yun Lintian whispered.

"Ugh!" Ross came back to his sense and grunted painfully. He struggled to get rid of Yun Lintian's grip, but it was futile.

"Alas… Looks like you have been deceived by Zhu Ding. He should have told you that I have never left my hometown since that day. So, anything that happened to your Hell Church has nothing to do with me." Yun Lintian continued and twisted the knife a few times.

Ross shivered in pain and turned his head to look at Yun Lintian with difficulty as if he wanted to see whether what Yun Lintian said was true.

Yun Lintian smiled faintly and said. "I have no reason to lie to you. Zhu Ding clearly wants to get Project Eve in my hand, but he couldn't find a reason to confront me head-on… Well, I should say that he didn't dare instead… And your Hell Church is an easy target to use as a scapegoat. You should understand what I mean now."

Ross coughed up fresh blood, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed. He immediately understood everything, but sadly, it was too late to regret now.
