The Eastern Region Army Command Center.
Three screens appeared on the dispatch platform. One was from the surveillance cameras in the courtyard of the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute, another showed a map indicating that the War Dragon Squad's armed helicopter had arrived at the entrance of the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
The last screen, shared by the Military Department Headquarters, captured the War Dragon Squad's armed helicopter via military satellite.
At this moment, through the screens, Qin Yuanzheng and others clearly saw that the old man in the black robe had not yet emerged from the grand curtain, but Qin Xiaozhi was already inside the helicopter, holding a customized sniper rifle and aiming at the curtain.
"Connect to Qin Xiaozhi again and ask him about the enemy's strength."
Seeing this, Qin Yuanzheng issued another order to dispatch.
"Yes, Legion Commander!"
The dispatch acknowledged the order and immediately attempted to contact Qin Xiaozhi as instructed by Qin Yuanzheng, but failed.
Then, he immediately tried to contact Qin Xiaozhi's special communicator, but the result was the same: no connection at all!
This outcome made the dispatch momentarily stunned, then he stood up and reported:
"Reporting, Legion Commander, the War Dragon Squad has disabled the armed helicopter's communication system, and Qin Xiaozhi has also shut down his special communicator. Shall I contact others?"
"No need."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuanzheng frowned and gave his instructions.
He had initially wanted to know the enemy's strength, but since Qin Xiaozhi had shut down the communication system, he thought of Qin Xiaozhi's earlier action of voluntarily cutting off communication, and thus abandoned his plan.
Meanwhile.
Above the entrance of the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute, the armed helicopter hovered in the air.
Qin Xiaozhi was unaware that his image had been captured by the military satellite. He held the customized sniper rifle, aimed at the grand curtain in the courtyard, completely focused.
Absolute Marksmanship was an extremely rare talent. It not only required the shooter to perfectly merge with the gun, treating it as an extension of their own body, hitting whatever they aimed at, but also demanded strong calculation and reasoning abilities to predict the target's movement and fire preemptively.
The prerequisite for all of this was absolute concentration from the shooter during combat, a perfect fusion of spirit, energy, and mind, completely isolated from the outside world. In this state, only the gun in hand and the target in sight existed.
At the same time, within the courtyard, the old man in the black robe within the grand curtain seemed to sense something and looked up at the armed helicopter in the sky.
Despite the darkness, with his strength suppressed and weakened by the rules of this world, he still possessed the power of a three-star War God at the ninth stage, giving him vision far beyond ordinary people. He clearly saw Qin Xiaozhi aiming the customized sniper rifle in his hands!
Huh?
This discovery caused the old man in the black robe's pupils to suddenly dilate, and a flicker of surprise crossed his brow! Da Feng Novel Network.
This was all because, before descending into this world, he had learned a lot about this world, especially about Jiang Wuming.
Among other things, he had thoroughly studied the details of Jiang Wuming's three battles in the Loulan Ancient Battlefield, Hanshan Temple, and Putuo Temple.
He was well aware that in the battle at Putuo Temple, Jiang Wuming had received support from his companions—a companion had used a mysterious long-range attack weapon to block a fatal blow for Jiang Wuming!
Furthermore, intelligence personnel from outer realms had obtained memories from this world and roughly sketched out the design of the customized sniper rifle.
Therefore, the old man in the black robe immediately recognized the customized sniper rifle!
Of course, in his understanding, it was a long-range attack weapon!
The look of surprise on the old man in the black robe's face was fleeting.
Immediately, a look of excitement appeared on his face!
This was because, according to the intelligence he possessed, in this indigenous world, only Jiang Wuming's companions used long-range attack weapons—he had encountered Jiang Wuming's companion!
And his purpose in descending into this world was singular: to kill Jiang Wuming!
To ensure the smooth completion of his mission, he had deliberately let the previous burly man in the black robe descend first to act as cannon fodder, to attract the attention of the indigenous world, allowing him to land and infiltrate smoothly, then find Jiang Wuming and kill him!
Now, encountering Jiang Wuming's companion meant encountering Jiang Wuming himself—this would save a lot of trouble, so how could he not be excited?!
On the armed helicopter, Qin Xiaozhi clearly saw the change in the old man in the black robe's expression, but he did not try to guess or deduce the reason. He didn't even show any emotional fluctuation. He simply stared intently at the grand curtain, his finger resting on the trigger.
As long as the old man in the black robe stepped out of the curtain, he would pull the trigger!
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Time slipped away silently. Dongfang Xiaoyao, Xing Tian, and Huangfu Weixia’s nerves grew increasingly taut, while Qin Xiaozhi’s movements and expression remained unchanged, as if he were a stone statue.
Until…
He saw the old man in the black robe step out of the curtain with one foot and decisively pulled the trigger!
"Bang!"
The sudden gunshot pierced the night sky. A three-star bullet shot out rapidly from the barrel of the customized sniper rifle, whistling towards the old man in the black robe.
Whoosh!
The old man in the black robe's body completely detached from the grand curtain. He waved his hands, unleashing a wave of yellow true qi, which formed a stone wall to block in front of him for defense. Da Feng Novel.
Boom!
In a flash, the three-star bullet struck the true qi stone wall in front of the old man in the black robe, exploding instantly and releasing terrifying energy. It directly shattered the stone wall, and a fearsome energy storm swept in all directions.
At the same time, the old man in the black robe sidestepped five meters, his entire body radiating yellow true qi, as if he were clad in armor. The energy storm could not harm him in the slightest.
"That's all."
The old man in the black robe sneered.
The moment he unleashed the true qi stone wall, he had already dodged, acting with foresight—even if the true qi stone wall couldn't stop the bullet, he could still evade it!
And now, the true qi stone wall he had unleashed could block the bullet, which completely relieved him of any worries—the long-range attack weapons in the hands of the natives posed no threat to him!
Thud!
At the same time, both Qin Yuanzheng and others in the Eastern Region Army Command Center, and Qi Wufu and others in the Military Department Headquarters Command Center, felt a thud in their hearts upon seeing this!
Although they didn't know the old man in the black robe's strength before, they could now infer it from Qin Xiaozhi's engagement with him!
The old man in the black robe was a three-star War God, and very likely a powerful one among them, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to block the three-star bullet from the customized sniper rifle with his true qi stone wall!
After reaching this conclusion, their expressions instantly became extremely grave—the worst-case scenario had occurred; Qin Xiaozhi and his three companions were completely unable to intercept the old man in the black robe!
Not only them, but even Dongfang Xiaoyao, Xing Tian, and Huangfu Weixia in the armed helicopter looked extremely solemn, their hearts sinking to the bottom.
Although they had been filled with worry and unease before the battle began, they had at least held a sliver of hope!
But now, the flame of hope in their hearts was instantly extinguished!
However—
At this moment, Qin Xiaozhi’s expression remained as calm as ever. After firing the first shot, he quickly reloaded and pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out again.
"Hmph!"
The old man in the black robe snorted and casually waved his hand, unleashing another true qi stone wall.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed again.
But this time, after the bullet exploded, it did not shatter the true qi stone wall.
What's going on?
Did the enemy hold back their strength and not attack with full force just now?
Seeing this, Dongfang Xiaoyao, Xing Tian, and Huangfu Weixia in the armed helicopter, as well as Qin Yuanzheng, Qi Wufu, and others watching the battle through the surveillance feed, were all shocked.
"Native, stop struggling. Your weapon cannot pose any threat to me!"
At the same time, the old man in the black robe sneered, his voice echoing through the skies above the War God Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
This was because he had clearly sensed that the power of the native's attack from the sky this time was far weaker than the previous one. Not only did it not shatter the true qi stone wall he had erected, but the stone wall didn't even show a single crack!
As he spoke, the old man in the black robe's feet flickered, and he darted forward. The true qi stone wall in front of him dissipated.
"Bang!"
Just then, the third gunshot sounded.
Qin Xiaozhi pulled the trigger again.
"Still at it?!"
Facing Qin Xiaozhi's attack again, the old man in the black robe did not unleash another true qi stone wall, nor did he dodge. He simply protected himself with true qi, his face filled with disdain!
This was because, based on the weakened power of Qin Xiaozhi's second shot, he subjectively believed that the power of the long-range attack weapon in Qin Xiaozhi's hands was gradually decreasing.
And with his strength, he could easily withstand it even with just his protective true qi!
Boom!!
As soon as the old man in the black robe's disdainful words left his lips, an explosion sounded again, and terrifying energy erupted.
Under the cover of night, the old man in the black robe was instantly sent flying!
"Ugh…"
This sudden turn of events once again left Dongfang Xiaoyao, Xing Tian, and Huangfu Weixia, as well as Qin Yuanzheng, Qi Wufu, and others watching the battle through the surveillance feed, stunned—what was happening?
Among them, Dongfang Xiaoyao, Xing Tian, and Huangfu Weixia instinctively turned their gaze towards Qin Xiaozhi.
In the co-pilot's seat, the young man's expression was unchanged. He skillfully and swiftly continued to reload, intending to fire a fourth shot before the old man in the black robe landed.
First shot, three-star bullet, attempting assassination.
Second shot, one-star bullet, to paralyze the enemy.
Third shot, three-star bullet, to launch a sudden attack.
Fourth shot, three-star bullet, a fatal blow!
Substance within illusion.
A small figure, great wisdom.
The world only knew the young man, once considered a prodigal son of the Qin family, possessed absolute marksmanship, and achieved god-like status in the battle at Putuo Temple!
But who cared that he was once the strategist of the War Dragon Hall?!
