Chapter 297 - 22: Nuclear Sniper, Mortal Slays God (1/3)
"What... kind of witchcraft is this?"
The power was rapidly dissipating, and Ye Zhong felt as if he was reverting to the state of his birth.
Back then, he had just transformed from an Evil Ghost into a Ghost God, a time when both his strength and condition were at their lowest.
Let alone breaking free from this unyielding bronze encasement, at that time, Ye Zhong couldn't even withstand the light of the sun.
"Just because you ask, do I have to answer?"
Keeping a safe distance, Li Jingshu snapped her fingers gently.
Immediately, the Bronze Treasure Book rapidly flipped pages, and a massive sniper rifle fell into Li Jingshu's hands.
In fact, other than its resemblance to Li Boyang's sniper rifle from his past life,
this massive sniper rifle had nothing in common with a real sniper rifle.
Especially with its enormous caliber, it exceeded the scope of "firearms" and was essentially an oversized cannon.
Whoosh—Boom!
Li Jingshu unhesitatingly pulled the trigger.
The powerful recoil then acted upon her body.
Even with Li Jingshu's current physical condition, she flipped several times in mid-air before barely dispelling the tremendous recoil.
But correspondingly, the bullet fired from this sniper rifle was also exceedingly fierce.
As if thousands of thunders tore through the sky, or like a small sun appeared out of nowhere...
Let alone in this sealed state.
Ye Zhong felt that even at his peak, he might not be able to withstand such a shot.
Bam!
The truth proved that Ye Zhong's feeling was not an illusion.
At the moment the bullet collided with flesh, the powerful force tore it apart directly.
Because the projectile that hit Ye Zhong's body wasn't ordinary metal, but the "scraps" from Li Boyang's research and refining pills.
Li Jingshu had collected them and used these "scraps" as poison without any discordance.
This terrifying toxin might not match "plutonium," but it was more than enough to dissolve the body of a God.
Boom!
But, like all Talisman Bullets, this was only the first part.
When Ye Zhong was about to rebuild his body,
the scorching sunlight exploded instantly, scattering those reforming body tissues.
—Talisman Bullet·Fiery Sun Talisman!
This talisman, mimicking the sun's rays, could raise the temperature to thousands of degrees in a short time.
Besides the high temperature, the Fiery Sun Talisman specifically countered Ghost Gods like Ye Zhong, with an exorcism effect stronger than Thunder Skill.
Woosh!
In just the blink of an eye,
the fleeting "small sun" ended Ye Zhong's life.
It left only an eerie void and silence in the turbulent waves above.
One could say, apart from lacking the iconic mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion, this shot's power was indistinguishable from a non-radioactive nuclear blast.
...........................
"This move is indeed effective!"
After witnessing the whole event, Li Jingshu, the mastermind behind it all, murmured with a smile.
Because even she didn't expect Ye Zhong to be so arrogant and take her attack head-on.
Although this combination attack had a "First-Time Kill" nature,
it also proved how formidable Li Jingshu's offensive power was now.
Swish...
At this moment, the Bronze Treasure Book suddenly flipped violently, and the solitary eye on the cover showed a hint of human-like fear.
Having been with the Bronze Treasure Book for so many years, Li Jingshu immediately understood its meaning.
The Bronze Treasure Book had detected a crisis and was warning her.
[Reinforcements are coming so quickly?]
This thought flashed in her mind.
Li Jingshu turned to look in the direction where Li Yu and others were retreating.
As expected, no matter how fast the Hunters retreated, they couldn't have reached a safe spot in such a short time.
In other words, regardless of what the Bronze Treasure Book's warning meant, Li Jingshu couldn't retreat now.
Thus, making up her mind, Li Jingshu took a deep breath and lifted the sniper rifle in her hand once more.
"Celestial Eye... open!"
With a low growl, Li Jingshu's brow split open, and a vivid Celestial Eye gazed into the distance.
In the view of this Celestial Eye, the anomaly of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was so obvious.
Especially at Ye Zhong's place of death, a twisted, sinister force was continuously expanding outward.
No time, nor did she care what that meant.
Li Jingshu decisively pulled the trigger again, firing a second bullet in that direction.
Whoosh—Boom!
Unfortunately, this time Li Jingshu's attack didn't achieve the expected result.
An invisible large hand materialized out of thin air, intercepting it mid-flight.
Boom!
In an instant, the nine heavens' Thunder turned into electric light and struck down.
But it only shattered that invisible hand, not the real target Li Jingshu wanted to attack.
Vortex... vortex... vortex...
Amid this brief attack interval, a Night Wanderer with visible female features appeared at Ye Zhong's place of death.
Next came the second, third...
In no more than a few breaths, seven Night Wanderers had appeared, eyeing Li Jingshu warily.
Clearly, through the Night Wanderers' special sensing,
these newly arrived Night Wanderers not only sensed Ye Zhong's death but knew precisely how he died.
"To slay a God with a mortal's body..."
"Even if it was with the help of that special Divine Artifact, you have reason to be proud!"
The female Night Wanderer suppressed her inner anger, eyes fixed on Li Jingshu.
Though all sixteen Night Wanderers shared a Unity of Heart,
their relationships inevitably varied in closeness.
As the first Night Wanderer to appear, the female Night Wanderer was closest to Ye Zhong among them.
Therefore, her anger far exceeded the other Night Wanderers.
If it weren't for her fear that Li Jingshu might have hidden aces,
the female Night Wanderer wouldn't have waited for the other six to appear before spewing threats at Li Jingshu.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I wouldn't pride myself over such a trivial matter."
Her eyes briefly stopped on the female Night Wanderer's disfigured arm, and Li Jingshu defiantly raised her head in retort.
"I think... you might be the second Night Wanderer to die by my hand."
While saying this, Li Jingshu purposefully aimed her sniper rifle at the female Night Wanderer, poised to pull the trigger at any moment.
Seeing this, the other Night Wanderers heightened their alertness and quietly encircled Li Jingshu.
Even the extremely angry female Night Wanderer didn't dare gamble whether Li Jingshu would fire again, immediately taking a defensive stance.
