Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 690 Show Of Strength.

The young man with the sniper rifle looked at Shi Lang and asked, "Are you sure you want to act so cocky with me?"

Shi Lang smiled and took out his sniper rifle. The people around were shocked and did not expect this guy to have a weapon in his hand. Bo Qingtan exclaimed, "Whoa, where did you get this?"

Shi Lang smiled, and suddenly, a person from the side said, "Why does this look different than the one Jack has?"

Everyone turned their gazes and compared the two weapons. Shi Lang replied, "My rifle is custom-made. That is why it is different in appearance. The rest of the functions should be the same."

Bo Qingtan said, "Brother Xing, what do you think?"

Shi Lang turned his head and found a young man with a broad chest gazing at him with great interest in his gaze. Hearing Bo Qingtan's question, he said, "I am fine with it as long as both of them do not harm each other."

Shi Lang took a few bullets and said, "We can use these practice bullets. However, a simple competition would be boring. I want to propose something."

Before Xing could say anything, Jack said, "Yeah, tell me, do you want me to give you a handicap?"

The people chuckled; they were all mercenaries and crude people. Shi Lang did not mind this and said, "I will give you a handicap. I will not use spiritual energy in the bullets."

The people were shocked. They did not expect Shi Lang to be so blatant. Even Bo Qingtan was shocked and felt unsettled at this moment. However, when he looked at Shi Lang's calm visage, he stayed quiet. Even if Shi Lang were to lose the battle, it would not make any difference.

Shi Lang said, "The real skill of sniping does not need spiritual energy. I use spiritual energy to charge the bullet because I am up against a stronger enemy. Come on, I will show you that I can still match you without spiritual energy."

Jack took these words as an attack on himself. He clenched his fist and said, "Fine, if that is what you want to do, then come. I will show you what sniping is, you cocky bastard."

Xing said, "The terms are set. You both have an hour to locate Xiao Jun and hunt him. You can only target his limbs and nothing else."

Shi Lang thought about it and nodded. Jack smirked and asked, "Do you know who Xiao Jun is? He is the scout in our ranks and is the fastest."

Shi Lang did not reply but only smiled silently from the side. He had his ways to fight against these people. Xing looked at the two men and snapped his finger. A figure from the crowd rushed into the forest. Xing said, "After ten minutes, you both can chase him."

Shi Lang nodded and began to check his weapon. Jack said, "We should also decide upon a penalty for the loser."

The terran replied while gazing at checking the arrays on the rifle, "Indeed. Tell me what you have in mind."

Jack felt his lips twitch at this guy's confident appearance. He said, "The one who loses will have to surrender his weapon and never use it again?"

Shi Lang smiled and said, "I will do this if I lose, but if you lose, you will have to learn the skills of sniping sincerely."

Jack was surprised and wanted to rebuke the terran when Xing said, "I agree on his behalf."

Jack was shocked. He looked at Xing and heard his voice in his mind, "You need to stop underestimating him. I can sense the killing aura on him even when restraining it to the limit. Shut up and do your best. You will not lose anything in this ordeal."

Jack was smacked off ruthlessly by Xing. However, he did not dare to rebuke the leader. Even if they were all at the peak of the immortal lord realm, Jack knew that Xing could beat all of them on his own. The leader was warm, but when he turned cold, even the ice paled in his comparison.

Ten minutes passed, and some of the mercenaries even decided to place a wager on who would win. Shi Lang, in the meanwhile, talked to Bo Qingtan. He asked, "Where is Yun Xue?"

Bo Qingtan was surprised and said, "We came here this time to find them."

Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "What does that mean?"

Bo Qingtan sighed and said, "Earlier, we found that the people from the Yin Blood Sect have been hiding in the woods here. Yun Xue headed here with her team of mercenaries, and even the leader of the female division had come over. However, things did not go as expected. The entire division is trapped inside the enemy's barrier array. The condition inside is unknown."

Shi Lang frowned and said, "You should have told me sooner."

He wanted to say more when Xing said, "Ten minutes are up."

Shi Lang turned around and found Jack rushing through the woods. The terran flickered from his position, and Xing stood in his place with a shocked expression. He gazed at Bo Qingtan, who said, "You will know soon if what I told you about him is true. He is a monster."

...

Shi Lang did not care about anything and located a trace of Xiao Jun. His tracker mind flipped on, and he rushed through quickly. He held the gun in his hand, and after one point, he found the traces disappearing.

He looked around and mumbled, "The best scout ability is not to run but to collect information by getting close to the enemy. He is hiding."

The terran turned around and found Jack fluttering through the woods. Shi Lang selected the highest tree and made his way over. In the distance, everyone was watching this scene unfold.

Someone asked, "Bo, what do you think your friend is doing?"

Bo Qingtan smiled and said, "Just watch, and you will understand."

The people exchanged glances and turned to look at Shi Lang, who was at the top of the tree crown. He held the rifle against his shoulder and looked around. Suddenly, he turned to his right, loaded the rifle, and aimed it against a tree. Just when everyone thought he would shoot, he froze.

On the ground, Jack spotted something and raised his rifle to shoot. The bullet flew through the void and hit the trunk of the tree by a margin. Xiao Jun behind the tree was startled, and he ran to seek cover somewhere else.

However, he had just taken five steps when he felt something sting on his leg. He looked below and found a rubber bullet stuck to his leg. The scout was shocked. He raised his head to see where the projectile came in from.

He said, "I am out. He shot my leg."

Jack had just finished the second bullet in the chamber when he heard this and was shocked. Shi Lang had defeated him so quickly. He wanted to say that it was unfair and that the terran had taken advantage of his shot earlier, but that would make him look like a sore loser.

However, he could not understand how Shi Lang made a shot at Xaio Jun while he was running because the target was a fast runner, and using the spiritual energy to propel him made it very difficult for the spotter to make a shot.

Shi Lang jumped from the tree, and everyone surrounded him. Jack asked, "How did you make the shot?"

The terran rolled his eyes and said, "I calculated where he would be moving before I squeezed the trigger."

Jack was surprised and wanted to ask a few more questions, but Shi Lang said, "Your questions can wait for later. Right now, we have another issue at hand."

Xing nodded and said, "I agree with Brother Ace. We need to find my sister and the rest of the girls."

The people immediately became serious and battle-ready. Shi Lang asked, "Can you tell me if you know where is the formation?"

Xing nodded and replied, "We found it three kilometers south here. The reason we backed off is the demon beast patrol."

Shi Lang narrowed his gaze and asked, "How many and at what level?"

Bo Qingtan said, "Three, two lords and one king."

Shi Lang frowned and said, "If you do not mind, can I lead?"

His gaze was focused on Xing. The latter frowned, and Shi Lang said, "I have experience leading a unit in the dragon army during the blood moon night."

The people were shocked, and Jack said, "Do not utter nonsense until you can take out the pr..."

He was about to say proof when Shi Lang took a token from his space ring and showed it to Xing. The latter was in a daze, gazing at the token and mumbling, "The new dragon champion, you are that Ace?"

Shi Lang nodded and Xing said, "Please lead us, Sir."

The impression everyone had of Shi Lang switched instantly. Even Jack's gaze softened and was filled with respect.
