As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 271 Sniping Confrontation? Throat Slitting!
The other party was very vigilant.

He did not rush to his accomplices' side immediately.

Instead, he pretended to be terrified by the explosion, looking around in a panic.

Xu Yan lowered his body, controlling his breathing and heartbeat.

Even her pores slightly contracted, concealing the heat she emitted so that the other party wouldn't be able to detect it.

The super sniper scanned the area but found nothing unusual, nor did he observe any reinforcements from the Security Bureau or other forces in Dawn City.

Only then did he press himself against the wall, blending into the shadows, and move closer to his companions.

Xu Yan immediately rushed to the other side of the rooftop.

He jumped from the back of the building he was in.

There was already a strong wind whistling between the buildings.

Propelled by the shockwave from the explosion, the turbulence became even more chaotic and intense, causing Xu Yan's clothes to flutter wildly.

He then brought his arms and legs together to reduce air resistance and continued to accelerate.

Until his head was only one meter away from the ground.

He took a deep breath, his eyes widened, and his muscles instantly expanded and then contracted back. It was as if his flesh and blood had grown springs, absorbing as much of the impact as possible when he crashed to the ground.

Xu Yan landed like a withered leaf, floating lightly without raising a single speck of dust.

Without even catching his breath, he darted off in the direction of the super sniper without even touching the ground.

The road was haphazardly filled with parked vehicles.

Most of the car doors were wide open, and the drivers and passengers inside had already fled in panic.

These vehicles became the best cover.

Xu Yan crouched low and weaved behind the vehicle.

Every now and then, they would crawl forward using both hands and feet, like a giant gecko approaching the other party from under the car.

As expected, the other party's attention was focused on their accomplice who was in a complete mess.

The warning area has been significantly reduced.

However, when Xu Yan was only twenty meters away from his opponent, he dared not continue to approach in this way.

He vaguely sensed the other party's hostility.

This doesn't mean the other party discovered him.

Rather, it was the aura or warning circle naturally generated by the opponent being a super sniper that expanded to a radius of twenty meters.

We must now change our approach.

Xu Yan looked around and found no suitable cover or anything that could distract the enemy.

Although the flames, black smoke, and mithril mist ahead were still lingering, visibility had improved slightly and was no longer so poor that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.

If you take just one more step forward, the other party will definitely notice your presence.

Xu Yan steeled himself, stood up boldly, picked up the wireless communicator, and roared at the top of his lungs:
"I'm at the intersection of Mole Street and Iron Felt Road, where there was a multi-vehicle collision, a hazardous materials leak, and an explosion!"
"To reiterate, there has been a multi-vehicle collision and explosion at the intersection of Mole Street and Iron Felt Road, along with a hazardous materials leak. Requesting backup! Requesting backup!"

Shouting, he tore off a piece of his shirt to cover his mouth and nose, stumbling and rushing into the smoke and fog.

In an instant, Xu Yan keenly sensed that the other person's muscles tensed up, like a cobra suddenly straightening up.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Xu Yan pretended to be inexperienced and somewhat reckless, and coughed loudly after being choked, even coughing up tears.

Nevertheless, he remained "dutiful," searching through the smoke and fog.

"Anyone?"

He continued calling out, "I'm a Security Service agent. Does anyone need help?" He could clearly sense that the other person hesitated for a moment, then relaxed completely, transforming from a venomous cobra into a wounded herbivore that had accidentally fallen into a trap.

"Help!"

Amidst the smoke and fog, the exceptionally weak voice of the master sniper rang out, "Help me, I'm stuck!"

"Don't worry, I'm coming!"

Xu Yan lunged toward the direction from which the sound came.

Nourished by the primordial purple energy, his eyes outlined the silhouette of a super sniper.

This guy actually found a car that had been overturned and twisted by the explosion and crawled inside.

His left leg seemed to be stuck in the twisted and deformed seat.

A pool of blood even flowed out from the gap in the car door.

His left hand was on his waist, where it was unclear whether it was a pistol or a dagger.

Three meters, two meters, one meter.

The corners of both the super sniper's and Xu Yan's mouths curled into subtle smiles.

The next second, Xu Yan had a thought.

The "jelly" placed on the rooftop immediately expanded, releasing a sharp killing intent that pierced the direction of the super sniper and precisely locked onto his brow.

The steel pipes and broken glass inserted into the "jelly" were also erected, and sunlight shone through the broken glass, reflecting a dangerous ray of light.

The super sniper instantly realized he was being targeted.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and the hairs on his body stood on end like steel needles.

His instincts as a sniper expert caused his neck to swell instantly with blood, releasing extremely powerful mechanical energy that caused his brain to vibrate at a high frequency, allowing him to dodge bullets that could never come.

His left hand, which was originally on his waist and holding the melee weapon, instinctively reached behind him, trying to draw a ranged weapon in a flash and eliminate the threat on the rooftop.

It has to be said that he is the most skilled sniper Xu Yan has ever seen.

Even though Xu Yan was right next to him, he couldn't see clearly how the man managed to hold a sniper rifle with sharp edges, a completely black and dull appearance.

There's no need to load or aim, no need for lengthy incantations or complicated gestures to activate the guardian spirit, and no need to adjust to an awkward posture.

An invincible killing intent shot out from the muzzle of the gun, rushing straight towards "Jelly" on the rooftop, and splitting into hundreds of beams in mid-air, like the Grim Reaper spreading a vast net, almost covering half of the rooftop.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Half of the rooftop was riddled with bullet holes.

The edge of the rooftop, riddled with holes, collapsed completely, sending large sections of reinforced concrete crashing to the ground.

It felt as if a red-hot bullet had been drilled into Xu Yan's head.

He heard "Jelly" let out a scream, probably from being hit by the barrage of bullets.

only--

"Jelly" ultimately does not have a fixed flesh and blood body.

Even if it becomes a beehive riddled with holes, it can recover to its original state thanks to its talent and the nourishment of the Primordial Purple Qi.

At this moment, Xu Yan was only half a step away from the super sniper who had just fired a shot.

The other party's scorching hot gun barrel was already poking into his back.

Xu Yan's smile became even brighter.

His mouth was almost torn to the roots of his ears, revealing his white canine teeth.

The right arm, hidden behind his back, could no longer conceal the swirling black energy, which coalesced into a curved blade as thin as a cicada's wing, exuding a stench from the depths of the River Styx.
