Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Bloodstained

In the distance, the Dark Hunting team’s figures were hidden. They originally thought that Greedy Wolf’s people would walk into the trap, after all, it was meticulously set up by them.

Unexpectedly, they were discovered!

“Silver Ring, did you notice anything unusual?” the Dark Hunting captain asked.

“A Cyan Fox on the enemy sniper alerted them; this little thing is overly sensitive to danger,” Silver Ring replied.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement from the high-explosive grenade thrown by Wang Xuan. They of course knew by now that the enemy had been alerted.

The recently recovered Scorpion cursed under his breath: “Damn it, I shouldn’t have kicked earlier.” He was afraid, if the high-explosive grenade went off, he’d be in the worst position.

Black Bear, whose arm was blasted by a sniper, is still lying in the hospital now. He definitely didn’t want to get injured again, caution is key, but it turned out to be too cautious.

The captain had a red blotch on his face; his grin grew more vicious: “Three Wolves, attack from the front, with Silver Ring and Iron Head covering you. I refuse to believe three guns can’t take down that sniper!”

Beside him, there were four unfamiliar figures, two were snipers, and the other two were Martial Arts Masters hired at great expense by him and Golden Wolf to kill Greedy Wolf, experts in the Blood Exchange Realm.

“Blood Hand, Thousand Shadows, please circle around the back, we’ll attack from both sides and surely kill them!” the Dark Hunting captain said coldly.

At this time, Greedy Wolf’s men had already set up positions, ready to fight, but after waiting a while, they still didn’t see any movement from the other side.

“Qin Hu, throw another high-explosive grenade!” Wang Xuan commanded.

Qin Hu nodded. His single-arm strength was astonishing. He suddenly appeared from one side and threw a high-explosive grenade, drawing a high and long arc.

“Bang!”

Two gunshots were heard, one bullet grazed Qin Hu’s retracting foot, and another bullet hit the high-explosive grenade, shattering it without explosion.

“Two people, two positions.”

Wang Xuan’s figure was hidden in the shadows, and when the Dark Hunting snipers fired, they exposed their positions. The shock waves from the sniper rifle shots spread out, causing nearby leaves to sway and dust to fly, allowing him to determine their approximate positions.

Two bullets were fired, a spray of blood appeared, and one was hit, whereas the other had already evaded, narrowly escaping death.

“I’ve been shot, left shoulder injured.”

The sniper nicknamed Iron Head was careless earlier; he hadn’t expected Wang Xuan to aim so fast. The bullets barely paused, hitting his shoulder blade.

In that condition, self-treatment would take too long, and it would be hard to regain combat effectiveness.

After just those two shots, Wang Xuan quickly lowered his head and moved aside, not daring to be careless.

Captain Yan Hua and a Martial Arts Master bypassed from one side, closing in on Dark Hunting, but suddenly heard Shen Yuan’s voice through the earpiece: “Not good, two people are sneaking in from the other side; Qin Hu, Zou Ping, Zhou Minglun, the three of you prepare!”

Yan Hua’s heart tightened: “Protect Wang Xuan; Brother Chen is counting on you.”

“Doing my best,” an aged voice responded.

Rushing like a tiger downhill, he closed in on a Dark Hunting member; this person in the Organ Refining Realm was killed instantly, while another Martial Arts Master severely injured one.

“Such audacity!”

The Dark Hunting captain and three Bone Marrow Refining Martial Artists struck simultaneously, engaging in battle. The air ripped with a piercing sound, their punches and kicks could shatter the trees around them, showcasing incredible combat power.

Their fighting figures were hard to follow with the eyes of ordinary people, it was like watching an accelerated martial arts film.

Moving with the agility of a rabbit, strength surpassing a ceremonial elephant, as fierce as a powerful tiger, and as graceful as a startled swan, the Martial Arts Master’s reactions, speed, and strength were all beyond human level.

In the blink of an eye, an incoming Organ Refining Cultivator was hit in the chest, his heart exploded instantly, bleeding from the seven orifices before dying.

On another front, the two invited Martial Arts Masters faced Zhou Minglun, Zhou Ping, and that elder Martial Arts Master, thanks to Shen Yuan’s prior warning, else someone would have surely been injured.

Fierce battle sounds came from afar, as Blood Hand and Thousand Shadows, two Martial Arts Masters, fought Zhou Minglun and others. Each collision echoed heavily; Qin Hu and Zou Ping were repeatedly hit, their strength was inadequate. Without joining Zhou Minglun and others in simultaneously attacking a Martial Arts Master, they definitely would have died on the spot.

Martial Arts Masters in the Blood Exchange Realm have entirely transformed bodies. Their five senses are astonishingly sharp, with defenses as formidable as a powerful machine.

“Kill!”

Qin Hu’s body glimmered silver, a sign of the Iron Cloth Shirt at perfection. His punches and kicks were heavy, but his reactions and strikes were too slow, leaving him only on the defensive.

“Pfft!”

Struck again, he spat a mouthful of blood. No matter how strong his defense, he couldn’t withstand many blows; the Martial Arts Masters’ power and fist force far surpassed his own.

Wang Xuan didn’t lose focus, his attention fixed on his gun and the enemy’s snipers.

Amidst the thick forest, Greedy Wolf and Dark Hunting members intermingled in battle, and often in the blink of an eye, they would disappear or overlap, which required high precision in aiming.

“Bang!”

Wang Xuan fired a shot, and as the bullet left the chamber, he changed shooting points. Whether he hit, he never checked; as long as his instinct was accurate, he believed he’d never miss, surely striking the enemy.

Sure enough, after his bullet fired, a Dark Hunting member’s head exploded on impact, like a watermelon dropped from a height, splattering a mixture of red and white pulp.

After killing one, the pressure on Captain Yan Hua and his partner was greatly reduced, and their maneuvers became even more fierce.

“Bang!”

“Bang Bang!”

Three gunshots rang out; two bullets landed at Wang Xuan’s previous hiding shooting point, while the other struck Qin Hu, tearing a chunk of flesh from his left waist.

Fortunately, the Executioner Shield No. 1 body armor was top quality, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to move.

Shen Yuan focused ahead; the moment three figures appeared, he detonated two high-explosive grenades. The sudden attack severely injured one, and even Golden Wolf, the leader of the Three Wolves, had his arm grazed.

Golden Wolf’s fierce gaze fixed on Shen Yuan, making him turn to flee, faster than anyone else. In the blink of an eye, he was dozens of meters away, draining Golden Wolf’s desire to pursue.

That slippery one was simply a shit-stirrer. His target was the sniper who had already killed many of them, posing a tremendous threat—Wang Xuan.

Once at close range, that sniper would be at his mercy.

Snipers, known to have limited close combat abilities if their cultivation level is high. This is a common belief.

Cultivation requires specialization, and practicing marksmanship divides focus, making high cultivation realms unlikely. Achieving both is exceedingly difficult.

Or rather, many who reach limits in Martial Dao would then specialize in spear techniques. Someone like Wang Xuan, whose spear technique is near-perfected, certainly couldn’t have deep Martial Dao skills.

“Gray Wolf, White Wolf, you two go assist Blood Hand and Thousand Shadows, finish this quickly; the captain’s side is very dangerous now,” Golden Wolf commanded.

With a few steps, he advanced a dozen meters, heading in the direction where Wang Xuan was hidden.

With the distance closing, even Blood Exchange cultivators had to be extremely wary of Wang Xuan. But if it came down to close combat, it would be his domain!
