Chapter 1313 Sniper
Two minutes ago.
Human Circle, north side.
A figure carrying a heavy black box was racing through the vast desert.
Large beads of sweat slid down Leng Xuan’s face, and flying sand stuck to his eyelashes, forcing his eyes to squint, but even so, his pace didn’t slow down in the slightest.
“This old fox…” Leng Xuan muttered.
During this time, Leng Xuan had been searching the “Human Circle” for the locations of the mass graves arranged by Loki. Even after capturing almost all church bishops and interrogating them extensively, he had only found the locations of two mass graves.
According to Leng Xuan’s count, out of the original population of about 40,000 in the city-state, only a scattered 10,000 people remained alive, which meant that 10,000 people had vanished without a trace.
Leng Xuan could guess that Loki, not trusting these church bishops, had secretly taken away 10,000 people after having them complete two burial sites, and had secretly arranged a third mass grave!
After searching almost every corner of the “Human Circle,” Leng Xuan finally found some clues at the edge of the desert on the north side.
As Leng Xuan continued forward, several dark spots appeared faintly at the end of the desert.
He raised his binoculars and saw the remains of a stone city nearly buried by yellow sand, standing tall amidst the howling wind and sand, desolate yet magnificent.
“Found it…”
…
The abandoned stone city.
Black ravens circled above the ruins buried in yellow sand, their piercing cries seemingly tearing through one’s eardrums.
Countless rotting corpses were piled high like small mountains, with stench and the smell of blood permeating every corner of the stone city.
At the top of this mountain of corpses, the body of a four or five-year-old boy, already disfigured by ravens, suddenly rolled down from the peak as a cold wind swept by, exposing a blood-stained, strange stone platform.
Mysterious black threads etched a complex pattern at the top of the corpse mountain. In the howling wind, these patterns gradually lit up, and an eerie, sinister aura spread throughout the stone city.
Black threads extended from the patterns, frantically devouring the flesh and blood from the surrounding corpses. The pile of over ten thousand corpses visibly shriveled, and simultaneously, the form of a man rapidly took shape out of nothingness above the corpse mountain!
Heat waves rolled, and the mountain of corpses turned to dust and disappeared in an instant. The figure emerging from nothingness had already been restored by more than half.
Loki’s pale face was filled with coldness and cruelty, his eyes sweeping with murderous intent as he muttered:
“Xiao Nan… hehe…”
His upper body was fully restored, and countless threads began to weave his legs. Just as he was about to float to the ground, something unexpected happened!
A dazzling red flare whistled into the sky, and tens of kilometers away from Loki, a figure pulled a trigger.
Bang——!!
A thunderous explosion erupted at the edge of the stone city ruins!
A deep, dark bullet pierced through space, flashing from tens of kilometers away to Loki’s face in an instant, with surging divine power bursting from the bullet head.
With the bullet as its center, the space within a hundred meters was torn apart, creating an extremely thin and sharp vortex that instantly ground the surrounding yellow sand and ruins into powder… and at the sharpest end of the vortex was Loki!
Loki’s pupils suddenly contracted!
The bullet was too fast, and he, whose resurrection was not yet complete, had no time to mobilize his divine power to weave his “tricks.”
The bullet tore through space, whistling past Loki’s incomplete body, forcibly creating a huge hole in his body that had been restored to the knees. All the flesh below his neck was instantly turned into a bloody mist, dissipating in mid-air!
Loki, with only a head remaining, glared angrily toward a certain direction in the sand-swept stone city.
“You?!” he growled.
Tens of kilometers away, a dark red heavy sniper rifle weighing two hundred jin was set up like a battery on top of the highest ruin. The divine power glow on its surface was receding like the tide. From the black muzzle, pungent hot red smoke slowly rose.
Click——!
The bolt was pulled, and a dark gold shell was ejected high from the hot barrel.
The smooth shell reflected a calm, cold face in the sunlight, buried behind the sniper scope, motionless like a stone statue.
With a soft rustle, the shell sank into the thick sand, its scorching surface emitting wisps of white smoke.
“Caught you… Loki.”
Leng Xuan’s finger hooked the trigger, staring at the incomplete figure locked in his sniper scope, muttering to himself.
Loki, with only a head left, hovered in mid-air, his eyes fixed on Leng Xuan’s direction. Strands of flesh gradually materialized from nothingness, slowly rebuilding his body.
The sniper rifle, crafted by the God of Forge, fired bullets equivalent to main god-level divine artifacts, but they didn’t contain any laws. Even though they could shatter Loki’s body, they couldn’t kill him.
Loki’s recovery was just a matter of time.
“No wonder there’s been no news of you for so long… so you’ve been hiding in the ‘Human Circle’ all this time?” Loki spoke coldly. “Are you also part of Si Xiao Nan’s plan?”
Loki’s voice wasn’t loud, but it seemed to penetrate space, clearly reaching Leng Xuan’s ears.
Leng Xuan didn’t answer. His eyes narrowed slightly as he pulled the trigger again!
Bang——!!
The thunderous gunshot exploded, and the next moment, Loki’s half-restored body shattered again, along with the “trick” threads he was secretly weaving behind him, turning into fragments scattered on the yellow sand.
Seeing his “trick” exposed by Leng Xuan, anger appeared on Loki’s face:
“Leng Xuan, do you really think this can change anything?
With that gun, you can’t kill me… If I’m not mistaken, you only have seven bullets in total?
After these bullets are used up, what else can you use to stop me?”
Leng Xuan pulled the bolt, ejecting another hot shell, and expressionlessly put his eye to the scope, watching Loki’s every move.
He could see Loki’s body gradually returning to normal. His finger slowly applied pressure on the trigger, but he didn’t fire the third bullet.
Loki was right. He only had seven bullets in total, so he had to carefully control the interval between each shot, ensuring Loki couldn’t fully repair his body while dragging out time as much as possible.
Loki’s flesh formed half a body again. A cruel look flashed in his eyes, and instead of weaving another “trick,” he directly propelled his half-complete body, lunging toward the distant Leng Xuan like a ferocious ghost!
