Six bullets ripped through the air, this time from further away. They tore through the rain.

Xiang Ning’s Combat Instinct was instantly on high alert. He didn’t have time to activate Keen Observation, but sent out six flying knives. Within the range of his telekinesis, he caught most of the bullets.

The sound of metal hitting metal resounded in the area once again. The bullets were intercepted by Xiang Ning just ten meters away from the rest, but one of the bullets was deflected and shot toward Long Xiaoqi. Xiang Ning immediately leaped and took the bullet for her.

This time, the sound of metal hitting flesh was heard.

Experience Points +5352

Tier Five, One Star Martial Artist (14231 / 300000)

Over five thousand Experience Points! It was easily one of the stronger attacks Xiang Ning had received.

“Xiang Ning!” Chu Long’s eyes widened. He had seen the bullet hitting Xiang Ning’s back. He kept his cool and immediately dashed in front of everyone else, splaying his hands as a light blue shield appeared. All of the subsequent bullets were intercepted by the barrier.

The Energy Shield was a scientific invention that allowed the users to block multiple attacks as long as it had enough power. But this was a portable one, which allowed the user to block an attack from a tier six beast twice. It was also very expensive. They were given one for free since this was an important mission. It shouldn’t be an issue for it to block multiple bullets.

Xiang Ning didn’t feel anything at first, but he soon felt a stinging burn from his back.

“Don’t worry! I’m fine!” Xiang Ning gritted his teeth, but Chu Long had already grabbed him and entered a six-story building. The rest of them followed closely behind as they killed all the beasts surrounding them. There was no reason to hide anymore.

“Nothing? You think I’m blind?” Chu Long and everyone else’s expressions were unsightly. If it weren’t for Xiang Ning, they would be dead. The attack had come so suddenly that they didn’t even have time to react.

“Quick! Let me see his wound!” Yu Qian wasn’t just a strong fighter, but she was also well-versed in field aid.

“Wait, wait!! I’m still a man! Wait! Don’t touch me! I’m really fine! Believe me!” Xiang Ning was pinned down on the ground. He had just been about to get up when Yu Qian had already taken out the first aid kit and pinned him down. He had thought she was more reserved, but who knew she would have already torn off his clothes!!

“Hold him down!” Yu Qian furrowed her brows in annoyance. Chu Long and Gu Kun held him down. Long Xiaoqi had also joined and stripped off his shirt.

“Wait! Please don’t! I’m really fine! Don’t!! NooooOOOOO!” Xiang Ning felt like he had been violated. He was already embarrassed when Fang Rou pressed him against the wall, but who would have thought there were other girls who would do this.

Long Xiaoqi was just about to say something about how well-toned Xiang Ning’s body was, but then she remembered how he had just saved her life by blocking a bullet and threw out all of her impure thoughts.

Xiang Ning’s shirt was completely torn away, revealing his bloody back. Yu Qian held her breath as she saw the wound. At the same time, the howls of beasts came from outside. “I’ll go.” Gu Kun volunteered to protect them.

He took his long sword and walked out, completely ignoring the fact that the other party had snipers.

“Don’t move!” Yu Qian shouted. Xiang Ning was frustrated, too. He had managed to use a flying knife to block the bullet directed at his body at the last moment, but it’d somehow exploded. He felt his back burn as if it was doused in boiling water. His back may look bloody and scarred, but the wound wasn’t too serious. He would only need a healing potion and it would heal in minutes.

Yu Qian started cleaning the wound with alcohol. Xiang Ning felt his back stinging and burning as if it was on fire. He gritted his teeth in pain. Somehow he managed to get a thousand Experience Points from it.

I will fucking remember this! Seven Deadly Sins!! He teared up. He would remember those damn cultists and pay it back a hundredfold!

While Yu Qian was treating Xiang Ning, Gu Kun was facing off against more than twenty beasts. The cult members were silently watching from a distance away.

“Lord Vulture, are they idiots? They already knew that there were snipers. Why did he come out?”

“Lord Vulture, let’s kill him first. He’s obviously looking down on us.”

“I’ll kill him with two shots! The previous one was an accident!”

Lord Vulture was staring at Gu Kun, then suddenly chuckled, “No, don’t kill him. Let’s just watch. For them to be able to survive means they’re strong. We can always kill them when they’re retreating. Let them become the bait as they walk in front of us!” As he said that, he looked in the other direction.

“Truth be told, it’d be difficult for us to move ahead as well if they weren’t opening the path for us.”

In the direction that he was staring, more than ten Beast Generals were leading thousands of beasts toward them. In such a cramped space, it was a terrifying spectacle. They would be dead if they were surrounded by the beasts.

The other cult members nodded. The cultist who liked to lick the boots of his superior came forward. “Lord Vulture, you’re so wise! Even though they’re trash, we can still use them. As long as they attract enough beasts, we should be able to easily traverse the city. We can even record the entire thing and use it as promotional material to recruit more cultists.”

The other cultists nodded in agreement. “Lord Vulture is indeed wise.”

“But I still really want to kill them! You! Quickly aim and shoot him. Aim for the non-vital spots! His companion is already hurt, let’s see if they’ll leave a path open for us! Hahaha!” Lord Vulture suddenly laughed like a maniac. 

His followers were already used to his antics and immediately obeyed his instructions. Two more gunshots were heard in just five seconds. Gu Kun snorted. All those years surviving in the wilderness weren’t for naught! He was already ready for the snipers and dodged both bullets as they shot through the beasts. The wounded beasts howled in pain.

Accept your fate, MC. Get your clothes torn off by the two new waifus hohoho
