When Lin Rui sensed the sniper bullet, he couldn't help but think to himself, "Impressive."
This was definitely a seventh realm sniper! The comprehensive score for firearms alone exceeded SS, with an overall sniping capability even surpassing that of Gong Hengdao by a margin, displaying an extremely powerful strength.
Lin Rui estimated that there were at least four top-tier snipers involved in the assassination attempt, two of whom were of the seventh realm.
However, he had Xue Lingxue, a tactical expert, who had marked ahead of time all possible locations and angles where snipers might be lying in wait.
Lin Rui's own individual combat tactics were also of the highest order, and every movement of his hand and foot from the start of the engagement was the result of intense, strategic drilling. The trajectory of his swift traversal might have looked casual, but it was the outcome of careful calculations. As such, through their psychic link, he could also guide Blood Blade Ji to maximize their avoidance of being targeted by these snipers.
At the very least, he would prevent himself and Ji Xueying from being attacked from multiple directions.
The sniper could not achieve the best trajectory and angle to take him down and had to bend the bullets mid-flight in order to hit Lin Rui.
Nevertheless, since the bullets followed a curved trajectory, their speed and power could not reach extremities, clocking in at just over 43 Mach.
One should know that when Gong Hengdao exerted his full strength and used a direct trajectory, the speed of his bullets could reach up to 65 Mach!
All these thoughts flashed through Lin Rui's mind as his left hand already maneuvered the dragon armor, forming a Dharma Seal.
"Boom!"
With this booming sound, the very fabric of the surrounding void and time seemed to twist.
Lin Rui and Ji Xueying beside him effortlessly dodged these powerful bullets, passing by them with ease.
The successive barrage of sniper bullets that followed crashed into empty space, causing a massive explosion.
Those turned out to be nuclear sniper shells with a caliber of 280 millimeters. Upon detonation, they released boundless light and heat, causing a massive shockwave that swept everything in its vicinity, leveling all buildings within thirty meters.
Fortunately, this was near Yongye Street, where there were no residential buildings in the vicinity of this street filled with magical artifacts.
Even a regular worker on this street had the cultivation of the third or fourth realm, with nearby buildings reinforced to be extra sturdy, and almost all the magical artifact shops were equipped with protective arrays!
Even so, when those few shells exploded, there were still hundreds of casualties in the vicinity, cries and howls of anguish filled the air.
Lin Rui and Ji Xueying, accompanied by Sword Bone Demon and Cold Blood Demon, had long since teleported away from the site.
They each possessed abilities of "Divine Sun Celestial Universe" and "Super Sun Celestial Instant," currently following behind the Spiritually Enlightened Soaring Dragon, moving swiftly forward.
The void capability of the Spiritually Enlightened Soaring Dragon was of the utmost tier, at 7SSS+ grade. Under Lin Rui's control, it traversed the void, leaving a trail of void wakes behind it. Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire
Lin Rui and Ji Xueying each grasped a person, following the trail of the void wake forward, leveraging the natural healing force of the spatiotemporal void to surf forward; their speed of escape was nearly in sync with the Spiritually Enlightened Soaring Dragon.
In less than 0.001 seconds, they appeared 120 meters away, at the central position of another tactical formation.
The Spiritually Enlightened Soaring Dragon still had its sights locked on the opponent's seventh realm battle dragon, bombarding it relentlessly!
This time it didn't build up power nor use any secret techniques, but the mighty bloodline power of the Spiritually Enlightened Soaring Dragon still produced nearly 200 billion times the pressure that could trigger a nuclear explosion at the space directly ahead of its fist the moment it striked!
In the brief moment of their clash, the Spiritually Enlightened Soaring Dragon instantly smashed the right hand of the opposing 7S-grade battle dragon.
Lin Rui and Ji Xueying were faced with a seventh realm King-tier expert!
The two of them threw the Sword Bone Demon and Cold Blood Demon to a safe distance and almost instantly appeared in front of this individual, moving as if by teleportation.
Together, using their potent bloodline power, they disrupted the surrounding area, causing severe disturbances in the temporal-spatial void so that no members of this tactical formation could lock onto them!
Realizing that he couldn't expect support within half a second, that seventh realm King-tier's pupils dilated in rage, and he burst forth with all his power without any reservation.
"You scum from the Extreme Pole Star, all of you die!"
The person wove a dense screen of blades in an attempt to defend by attacking, driving back the two persons in front of him.
But in the next instant, that individual heard the sharp metallic sound of 'clang'.
His body and battle armor were bisected by Lin Rui and Blood Blade Ji, chopped into several pieces.
Lin Rui employed the 'Instant Light Slash,' while Blood Blade Ji executed the 'Purple Sun Tribulation'—a 5S+ grade secret saber skill from the Purple Sun Tribulation Saber, which despite not being of the highest power, was easy to use and didn't require charging, unleashed rapidly, and with her bloodline power's enhancement, wielded astounding might!
Their hearts in perfect harmony, they coordinated with each other nearly as one entity. Their blades, complementary and seamless, cut through their foe without a flaw.
Despite being a strong seventh realm King-tier heteromorphic cultivator, his attention was divided, and he was unexpectedly killed in their first exchange!
After his head was severed, his eyes wore an expression of sheer disbelief.
"Emperor level of the sixth realm! No, it's beyond Emperor—how is this possible?"
And these two, donning Heavenly Demon armors, displayed combat capabilities that were thoroughly at the Emperor level.
Both their bloodline power and martial arts are of Emperor Level!
Especially that Instant Light Slash of Lin Hao's, even this Seventh Realm Martial Cultivator could hardly see clearly.
He strongly suspected that this person's comprehensive combat strength had already reached the standard of surpassing the Emperor Level in the Sixth Realm!
In that instant, the battle groups were nearly out of control, with everyone's emotions exploding.
——Zhang Ge is dead too? What the fuck, can't even the Seventh Realm hold them back?
——These are two Emperor Level fighters! Absolute Emperor Level, both this man and the Heavenly Demon, whether in bloodline power or combat strength, have definitely reached SSS rank! And terrifyingly, they also have a 7SSS+ level war dragon with them.
——Emperor Level? Together, they're beyond Emperor Level! Their coordination is like conjoined twins; folks around, retreat fast! You can't face them head-on, both of these people are speed types, literal killing machines, their blades are too fast!
——Where's our sniper? Why is there no containment?
——They can't lock on at all, that guy's combat skills are too high! He actually avoids all shooting angles; I seriously suspect he's a top-tier special forces soldier trained on the Federation's side.
——Xu head! We can't keep fighting like this, we must use the tactic of tactical retreat, otherwise we're all going to die!
——Old Xu, the Watching Heaven's Eye is shining over here, sorry, I'm retreating first.
Xu Yu looked at Lin Hao's figure, his scalp tingling and forehead breaking out in a cold sweat, he decisively ordered, "Retreat!"
He had originally held a glimmer of hope and wanted to retreat in an orderly manner, to minimize losses as much as possible.
But at this point, they had no choice but to retreat.
The two Seventh Realm snipers they had hired in their team had already seen the bad situation and withdrawn one after another, leaving the three from their own team, who had now also fallen silent.
That Lin Hao was also about to destroy their second 7A tactical squad.
Just now, under Xu Yu's watchful eye, the Cold Blood Heavenly Demon next to him gave it his all to release "Cold God Breath" under the full protection of a Fifth Realm Super Emperor Sword Bone Demon.
This Cold God Breath even contained a powerful concept of cold, causing almost everyone within a 100 meters to have their movement and reaction speed significantly slowed.
And that ignited the second bloody massacre of the day!
The strength of this 7A tactical squad was inferior to the previous one, and it stood even less of a chance against the blade storm of Lin Hao and Ji Xueying.
"Dual Super Emperors!"
Xu Yu felt a chill in his hands and feet; he had not expected this man and demon to be so strong! Far exceeding their pre-battle analysis.
Xu Yu, at the Eighth Realm, could even better judge the level of combat strength of this master and servant pair!
Their overall combat power had definitely reached beyond the Emperor Level! At this moment, this man and demon had a great deal in reserve, especially that Lin Hao, who had not fully displayed his bloodline and martial arts strength, nor was there a need.
It was two minds in perfect harmony, an understanding beyond words, with their combined state greatly boosting their fighting power, leaving no one present who could force out his full strength.
As Xu Yu issued the retreat order, he also withdrew quickly and decisively.
But just as Xu Yu exited the ambush room and headed in the direction of some civilian houses to the east of the city, he saw a powerful saber qi sweeping toward him from a distance.
"Clang!"
Xu Yu managed to block the saber with his own in the nick of time, his pupils slightly constricted.
This seemed to be the Imperial Guard's Zhonglang General, Li Wei, from the Great Song Dynasty?
Sure enough, in the next moment, he heard Li Wei's voice distantly transmitted over to him.
"Once, twice, and thrice, you Heavenly Demon bastards, do you take me for a decoration?"
Also at that moment, Li Wei's war dragon, the 'Titanium Gold Saber Dragon,' descended from the sky, slashing down fiercely.
Xu Yu originally wanted to use his own Eighth Realm war dragon to block it, but from the sky, a huge crimson figure plummeted down.
It was the 'Undying Flame Heart Dragon' he had seen earlier, this Sixth Realm Super Emperor, and possibly Emperor Level, war dragon, had already disposed of its opponent and was now using the impact of its rapid descent to knock Xu Yu's 'Void Hiding Dragon' a hundred zhang away.
"Boom!"
Xu Yu could only rely on his own strength to combat the sharp and overbearing saber force of the 'Titanium Gold Saber Dragon.'
Blood oozed from all seven apertures of his body, and he was smashed away, flying out like a meteor, and crashing into the ground a hundred zhang away.
Just at that moment, the Watching Heaven's Mirror had already shone down a beam of blue light, illuminating Xu Yu.
Xu Yu fell into despair, knowing his chances of escaping today were slim to none.
