Chapter 279: River of Blood (1st update!)
"His voice sounds so young!"
"He must be at the Initial Stage of Dark Strength!"
"Youngsters these days are so arrogant!"
The Huajin Grandmasters around the Mie family leader chuckled, their tone lighthearted as if they were casually chatting or watching a child's play. It seemed as if the enemy attack outside was of no importance at all.
"Hahaha, disciple sister, the guy who just spoke, pretentious much? What era does he think this is? 'Kill without mercy'? Does he think he's some ancient emperor? A mere Initial Stage of Dark Strength, he's not even qualified to serve as a shoe boy for any of the elders here!" At Wei Donglai's side, the male disciple Zhong Nan turned towards his disciple sister Yan Yun'er, and laughed.
That said, Yan Yun'er faintly narrowed her eyes. Such audacious words... The grandmasters mentioned that the owner of the voice must be quite young, but she wondered how old exactly?
At the Initial Stage of Dark Strength...he must be around thirty years old, no?
After all, not everyone is fortunate enough to have powerful masters who are willing to go to great lengths to nurture them like she and her senior brother did.
Such thoughts crossed Yan Yun'er's mind in secrecy.
She hadn't even met the man behind the voice, but already she was curious about his appearance.
It was indeed hard to fathom a girl's thoughts.
Oddly enough, she found herself feeling a tinge of affection towards the man who was her master's opponent.
"Let's go, let's have a look..." At that moment, Wei Donglai smiled faintly, and said.
"I want to see whether this guy has three heads and six arms to behave so audaciously in front of us grandmasters..."
"Didn't expect him to come so soon, so be it. Let's get this over with quickly. I have to go back and train some disciples..."
The grandmasters chuckled and spoke.
As they spoke, they began to head outside the villa compound, their hands clasped behind their backs, a demeanor befitting grandmasters. True to their ranking, they could traverse several, even tens of meters in a single stride while seeming completely at ease and moving at an astounding speed.
"Let's go, disciple sister, let's go take a look. I bet he didn't expect so many grandmasters to be here. Can you imagine his face when he sees all of us? Haha! The thought of it is making me chuckle..." Zhong Nan turned to Yan Yun'er, laughing again.
"Yes."
Yan Yun'er nodded.
As they spoke, the two began to follow their teacher and other martial arts grandmasters.
"The Mie family — one of the dominating forces of Huaxia. They aren't easy to deal with. These people who wanted to challenge the Mie family are too naive..." On their way, Zhong Nan paused, then laughed again.
Earlier, the head of the Mie family had flattered him a bit, which had given him a good impression of the Mie family.
"If you won't see the light, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
At this moment outside the Mie family villa, Lin Yun looked at the speedily approaching elites who had even started shooting at them and coldly remarked.
Perhaps many of these people were innocent, but those who insisted on defending the Mie family certainly weren't — countless people had lost their homes and lives because of them.
"Buzz..."
In the meantime, Lin Yun, Lin Yi, and Lin Jiu were instantly enveloped by a protective shield that intercepted the gunfire.
"Although the special energy in these bullets can rapidly deplete the shield's energy, as long as they can't penetrate it and as long as we still have energy, they won't cause us any harm and are utterly useless..."
Lin Yun shook his head, and said.
The energy consumed by their shields could recover naturally over time, though it needed a bit of time. He could also purchase energy supplements from the Cosmic Trading System — and though they weren't cheap, compared to their current consumption, it was nothing.
He currently had more than 300 Spirit Crystals in his Cosmic Trading System, enough to purchase ample energy to withstand attacks for a long time.
Moreover, his Cosmic Trading System was accumulating a large amount of Spirit Crystals all the time.
"Boom — Boom —"
While they talked, Lin Yun, Lin Yi, and Lin Jiu had already drawn their guns, unloading rounds into the crowd. Lin Yun was trained in gunnery, and Lin Yi and Lin Jiu were robots — their shooting accuracy was high.
These people probably hadn't expected that Lin Yun and his party could unreservedly draw their guns under such circumstances. Caught off guard, almost each one was taken down by a single bullet.
In the blink of an eye, around twenty elite soldiers were hit, all receiving fatal blows.
The bullets were powerful, piercing through the vital spots of these elite soldiers. Even their sophisticated protective gear proved useless.
It was a massacre.
So far, Lin Yun and his team had only taken a few steps.
It was, essentially, one kill per step.
"What is that?"
"This is bad, they've got some strange protective shields!"
"The fire power of their guns is massive; our gear can't resist it!"
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
"Be cautious and dodge!" Your journey continues with empire
Witnessing this, the elite soldiers were frightened. Some of them figured out that Lin Yun's team might be using a strange kind of protective shield. However, most of them remained unsure.
The ones who did realize this found it hard to believe.
It was this disbelief that led to their lack of vigilance.
Reality compelled them to believe and pay a heavy price.
They were all elite soldiers, and yet, so many of them were killed in the blink of an eye. The mood was incredibly heavy.
In the past, even when they went abroad for missions, capturing the fiercest drug lords and fighting against the most powerful gangs, they never faced such casualties.
"Bang—Bang—Bang—"
Lin Yun and his team continued their relentless attack, specifically focusing on members of the Mie family.
"That person is from the Mie family," Lin Yun quietly said while aiming at a distant figure.
He had once looked over the list of the Mie family members and recognized the man.
"Bang—"
The next moment, Lin Yun raised his gun and fired. The member of the Mie family was an ordinary man and couldn't escape. Instantly, he was shot through his vital spots.
Just before dying, the man's eyes widened in terror. He seemed to realize his impending death, but had no time to think or do anything else. And so, he died.
All of these elites were well-trained and strong. But even after being cautioned, Lin Yun and his team's next attacks couldn't guarantee strikes on each individual. This lack of assurance made the scene even gorier.
"Ah!!!"
"I'm hurt!!! Help me!!!"
Several elites who hadn't been hit in vital spots started screaming in pain, rolling on the ground as their blood sprayed everywhere like a fountain.
In no time, the battlefield was filled with agonizing screams with blood flowing like a river.
Lin Yun didn't rush to finish off the ones who couldn't retaliate but prioritized attacking those who were fighting back.
"This..."
Arriving at the horrifying scene, Wei Donglai and the other grandmasters gasped.
"How... how did this happen... so fast... " Wei Donglai's disciple, Zhong Nan, turned pale at this sight.
Although he had been practicing martial arts with Wei Donglai since childhood and had attended numerous martial arts tournaments, even witnessing death in underground boxing matches, he had never seen such a gruesome scene before.
