Vehicles were chaotically parked outside the forest, and clearly, Tan Shaojie and his men had already escaped into the woods.
A few more kilometers into the forest would take him to the border of Huaxia.
Ling Zhenfei knew that his only chance was to intercept these bandits before they crossed the border.
"Never venture into the woods," a timeless adage among the martial artists of Jianghu. However, Ling Zhenfei could no longer care about these taboos; he had to capture Kun Ze Haosan again. He would not allow these bandits to rescue the captive from his grasp!
Jumping out of the car, Ling Zhenfei first used his Perspective Divine Eye to scout the jungle, determining the direction Tan Shaojie and his group were heading, and then he hurriedly followed.
Bang!
Although Ling Zhenfei was moving incredibly fast, as he dashed over a depression in the ground, he suddenly heard the screeching sound of a gunshot.
Whoosh!
At the same time, he saw a sharp blast of wind shooting towards him!
Bad news, a sniper!
As the gunshot erupted, Ling Zhenfei's heart jolted, and he instantly realized what was happening. His body moved like lightning, sidestepping in an unimaginable angle, he rolled on the spot and took cover behind a pile of rocks.
That was close!
He had been so focused on the chase that he hadn't considered that Tan Shaojie would definitely have some skilled fighters obstructing him in the dense forest.
If it hadn't been for his swift reflexes, his head would have been blown off by that bullet.
Ling Zhenfei lay motionless behind the cover, taking this opportunity to activate his Perspective Eye, and scanned the area where the gunshot had come from.
Indeed, about seven or eight hundred meters away on a small hill, Ling Zhenfei spotted Sniper Viper. He was lying still in the grass with a large sniper rifle, camouflaged like a chameleon.
Ling Zhenfei had experienced Viper's sniping skills during the previous school hostage crisis.
This guy was definitely a seasoned and mature sniper, currently hiding in the bushes, very well concealed. If it wasn't for Ling Zhenfei's Perspective Eye, even if someone walked right past him, they would not have been able to spot him.
Viper's face was smeared with camo paint, and though he still lay motionless in the grass, Ling Zhenfei clearly saw a look of extreme terror in his eyes.
There is a ranking among the world's sniper experts, and although Viper doesn't make the top ten, he would boldly challenge any of the top ten experts.
Viper never fired a bullet without confidence, always shooting to kill. Yet today, this carefully prepared shot had completely missed Ling Zhenfei!
What shocked him even more was that Ling Zhenfei had not only swiftly dodged his bullet but also moved so quickly that he couldn't pinpoint his location at all.
This situation had genuinely frightened Viper, whose hands, normally steady when holding a gun, felt unstable, and a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Viper couldn't understand how he had encountered such a formidable opponent.
This Ling Zhenfei was even more terrifying than he had imagined!
The first shot of a sniper is the most crucial; against a skilled opponent, if the first shot misses, the situation becomes extremely dangerous.
And Viper was now in such perilous circumstances.
He lay in the grass daring not to make a move, his sniper rifle still clenched in his hands, but he could no longer track the target with his eyes, a disconcerting feeling, to say the least.
Just minutes ago, he had treated Ling Zhenfei like prey, but in those critical moments before the next shot, their roles had reversed.
Ling Zhenfei was like a tiger waiting for the opportunity to strike, and any slight mistake from Viper would lead to his utter catastrophe.
Silence!
After the gunshot, all that remained in the vast jungle was endless silence!
Ling Zhenfei and Viper were both lying in ambush, waiting for a chance to deliver a fatal blow to their opponent.
However, such an opportunity was too elusive; Viper could wait and delay, but Ling Zhenfei couldn't afford to wait or delay.
He knew that Tan Shaojie and others were fleeing towards the border at full speed. Any delay in his movements would allow them to escape!
He couldn't afford to consume any more time with this sniper!
Ling Zhenfei realized this clearly and immediately dashed out from behind the cover like lightning.
Although, his Perspective Eye had already located where Viper was hiding, he had no gun in his hand.
Even if he had a gun, it would not be possible to effectively kill Viper from such a distance!
He had to go all out and test, to see whether Viper's bullets were faster, or his own movement technique.
Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!
Ling Zhenfei's figure moved as fast as thunder, completing a hundred meters in just three seconds.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Viper's eyesight and reaction speed were also incredibly fast, quickly firing three shots. However, the shots all flew just past Ling Zhenfei.
My god! This man's movement technique is unimaginably fast!
Such a full-speed attack still posed no threat to Ling Zhenfei. By this time, the fear and awe in Viper's heart had grown immeasurably.
Indeed, it was the fear of death that he had hidden deep inside for many years!
Viper was terrified and wanted to flee. However, Ling Zhenfei did not give him that chance.
"Your marksmanship is indeed good, you certainly could have completed the mission if it were someone else,"
In a flash of thought, Ling Zhenfei's figure sped hundreds of meters towards Viper, and with a touch of disdain mixed with slight admiration, he spoke, "Sadly, you encountered me!"
No sooner had he spoken than Ling Zhenfei's figure, like a phantom, suddenly moved sideways in front of Viper, turning his palm into a claw, and crushed Viper's throat with one move.
"Uh..."
Viper stretched out his hands in terror, clutching his own throat. He could clearly hear the sound of his throat bones breaking, yet he hadn't even had time to feel the pain!
"You... are..."
Viper desperately widened his disbelieving eyes, his mouth agape. In his last moments of life, he wanted to question Ling Zhenfei, but he struggled to utter a complete syllable.
"Do you want to ask how I discovered your hiding place almost instantly?"
Ling Zhenfei looked at him expressionlessly, staring coldly as he slowly articulated every word like ice, "Actually, it's quite simple. My cultivation has already reached the Mingmu Realm, and I've long opened the Perspective Eye. Your little tricks... have nowhere to hide!"
"Ah! Ming... mu! Perspective..."
As Ling Zhenfei's voice settled, Viper let out a half-stuttered cry of terror, then fell straight down...
His cultivation was only at the Body Refining Realm; being killed by a master of the Mingmu Realm seemed... not a disgrace at all!
Whiz!
After killing Viper, Ling Zhenfei did not stop at all and continued to pursue in the direction where Tan Shaojie and the others were fleeing.
