Invincible through Touching Corpses

"Don’t just stand there gawking! Start reloading! And hand me your guns."

After emptying his magazines in five seconds, Lin Xinghai glanced back. Seeing that everyone was still frozen in a daze, he urged them on, annoyed.

At Lin Xinghai’s urging, the members of the Wolf Hunting Squad finally snapped out of it, but they still stared at him with utter disbelief.

"Leader, how did you do that?" Fu Yuan couldn’t help but ask while handing his custom-made assault rifle to Lin Xinghai.

He knew this was likely one of Lin Xinghai’s secrets, and that he probably shouldn’t pry. But his curiosity got the better of him, and he had to ask.

The others all looked at Lin Xinghai, just as eager to hear the answer.

Lin Xinghai took the gun and said casually, "It’s nothing special, really. I have a special ability that lets me make bullets curve in mid-air. It’s as simple as that."

’Compared to my other secrets, the Intermediate Shooting Skill is really nothing. And with my current status, there’s no need to hide it anymore.’

Lin Xinghai said it nonchalantly, but as former special forces soldiers, Fu Yuan and the others knew better. An ability like that might sound simple, but it was absolutely terrifying in practice.

In the hands of a Divine Sharpshooter, a special ability that could make bullets curve could only be described as terrifying.

Because with an ability like that, cover was completely useless against a Divine Sharpshooter.

That was exactly the case with Lin Xinghai, which was why he could kill enemies even when they were completely hidden from view.

Of course, Lin Xinghai was even more frightening than a typical Divine Sharpshooter. A normal sharpshooter, even one who could kill with every shot, would at least need to aim. Lin Xinghai, however, was just spraying bullets the entire time.

You could say his kill efficiency alone was equal to that of ten Divine Sharpshooters combined.

At this thought, Fu Yuan and the others didn’t dare delay any longer. They grabbed the remaining magazines and began reloading with haste.

As for Lin Xinghai, he had already left the passageway and charged out.

He had no choice. Although he had just destroyed a dozen emplacements in five seconds, dealing a heavy blow to this section of the defensive line, he had also drawn their attention. Several enemy squads were now charging toward his position.

More importantly, his Perception picked up several artillery positions swiveling their cannons to aim in his direction.

If a few shells landed, he might be fine, but Fu Yuan and the others probably wouldn’t. Under the circumstances, his only option was to grab several firearms, charge out, and draw their fire while laying down a spray of his own.

Seeing this, the members of the Wolf Hunting Squad worked even faster. It was one thing to be unable to help, but their pride wouldn’t allow them to become a liability.

As for Lin Xinghai’s safety, they weren’t worried in the slightest. With his terrifying Speed, he could practically run rampant on a battlefield like this.

After a burst of rapid gunfire, their vision blurred, and Lin Xinghai was back. He tossed aside five empty firearms, grabbed another five, and charged out again in the blink of an eye.

As he charged back and forth, the enemies were cut down without even catching a glimpse of him, let alone getting close.

In the span of a few breaths, Lin Xinghai had annihilated the squads advancing on their position.

This was the first time Lin Xinghai had ever tried this kind of tactic—charging deep into enemy lines to wreak havoc.

After all, while his Gun Technique had always been superb, he’d never had his current, terrifying Speed, and hadn’t dared to weave through a rain of gunfire.

But things were different now. Even Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artists couldn’t track his movements, to say nothing of ordinary armed personnel. Even a concentrated web of firepower posed no threat to him.

On top of that, Lin Xinghai discovered that the special forces’ firearms weren’t half-bad. Even the range of a standard-issue Tearing Rifle had been increased from 200 to 400 meters, and its killing power had nearly doubled.

Combined with specialized Armor-Piercing Bullets, a single shot could pierce the Blood Qi Power defenses of a fully-armored Blood and Qi Realm Martial Artist and deliver a fatal headshot.

Under these conditions, Lin Xinghai launched a one-man counter-offensive. With the Wolf Hunting Squad keeping him supplied with weapons, he charged back and forth several times, leaving this section of the enemy’s defensive line in tatters.

From the moment Lin Xinghai took action to the point where the defensive line was on the verge of collapse, less than a minute had passed.

By this time, the main force had just finished assembling the Sharp Blade Camp and was beginning its charge, only to find a defensive line that was already crumbling.

Three minutes later, with Lin Xinghai providing covering fire, the Sharp Blade Camp pushed straight through and quickly reached the secret passageway.

"General Kong, what are you doing here?" Lin Xinghai was startled to see the man leading the Sharp Blade Camp and quickly snapped to a military salute.

The newcomer was none other than the commander-in-chief of this operation, Lieutenant General Kong Hua.

"You’ve all worked hard," Kong Hua said grimly, returning the salute. "I never expected such a major screw-up in this infiltration mission. I had to come and clean up the mess myself."

He had been stunned when he received the message from Huang Tianyu. He’d never imagined that a Divine Demon Realm expert was hidden in this underground base.

What was even more surprising was that the Wolf Hunting Squad had managed to withstand that pressure and blow up the enemy’s entire armory.

The effect was just as one would expect. The armed militants still putting up a fight would have no way to resupply their weapons and ammunition. At the very least, they would be without their most destructive weapons, and our side no longer had to worry about the threat of intercontinental missiles.

Of course, and more importantly, the power of the explosion had far exceeded everyone’s expectations. They had felt the intense tremors even from several kilometers away.

Having their own base blown up was an absolutely fatal blow to the morale of the resisting militants.

The intensity of their resistance had dropped by at least two levels. At this rate, the battle would likely be over in less than half an hour.

Hearing this, Lin Xinghai immediately understood General Kong’s intention: he was going down personally to deal with the Divine Demon Realm expert.

After all, even within the military, Divine Demon Realm experts were exceedingly rare. Among the forces deployed for this operation, only Kong Hua had reached that Realm.

"Since you’ve come in person, what about commanding the main force? Will that be alright?" Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but ask.

"Don’t worry. The general staff is there, so it makes no difference whether I’m present or not. But I had to come here. The enemy hid a Divine Demon Realm expert here for a reason, which means their ambitions are anything but small. We have to find out what that reason is."

"Alright, I’m going in first. You can rest and recuperate here, or you can return to the main camp." After these instructions, Kong Hua led the elite soldiers of the Sharp Blade Camp down the secret passageway and quickly entered the underground base.

Every second is precious on the battlefield. The only reason General Kong stopped to talk to them at all was because the contribution they had made was simply too immense.

Watching the general’s rapidly departing figure, a glint flashed in Lin Xinghai’s eyes. He turned to Fu Yuan and the others. "Find a place to hide. I’m going to follow him and see if I can help."
