Chapter 118: Invincible in Battle

Three hundred meters away.

Le Kai sat down heavily, sweat pouring down his face, a trace of blood appearing at the corner of his mouth, his complexion paling noticeably. He grabbed the medicine bottle beside him and chewed the pills like beans with fierce determination.

That last strike had completely drained all his vital energy and spiritual power!

The treasure crafted by the professor was truly extraordinary—it absorbed all of Le Kai’s spiritual power and vital energy without the slightest abnormality. Only at the very end did it suddenly unleash its force, and from the moment the bow was drawn to the arrow hitting the target, it happened in an instant. It seemed as if it had traversed time and space, catching everyone off guard. Even Gu Bei, who was at the pinnacle of martial mastery and on the verge of ascending to the Hall of Warriors, was killed with a single blow—without any surprise.

Le Kai swallowed the pills rapidly and stood up again, spirit renewed. Ignoring the soreness in his muscles, he bit his finger and smeared blood on the bowstring. He once again drew a long arrow, closed his eyes, then opened them, blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment. He looked at the three figures far away, who were in utter chaos, his expression utterly emotionless.

He never felt pity or softness toward prey that was destined to die.

Over there, Sang Qing struck with a palm, sending the Vajra beast flying back tens of meters. He shouted, “What’s going on? What happened to Fourth Brother?”

“Boss, don’t worry. We will find that bastard and carve him to pieces to avenge Fourth Brother!” Gu Dong’s eyes were bloodshot, much like the mutated beasts they had slain. Though shocked, the three formed a triangular defensive formation, their magnetic guns emitting a cold gleam, sweeping the area in a carpet-like search.

What shocked and enraged them was that within the range of their spiritual power, there was no sign of any anomaly. This meant the enemy had launched the sneak attack from at least three hundred meters away. Even with firearms, the bullet traveling that distance would take a moment. Ordinary people might not notice, but experts at the peak of martial arts with strong spiritual power could definitely sense it. That was why the stronger one’s spiritual power, the harder it was to be ambushed. Moreover, their leader had a unique talent to sense danger whenever it appeared.

But by the time he sensed it, it was already too late.

“Beast! I have no patience to play with you any longer—prepare to die!” Sang Qing roared.

With a swift motion, he drew the sharp sword at his waist. The killing intent in his eyes surged like a rising tide. “To die by the ancestral technique of the Sang family, the ‘Heart-Wounding Life-Taking Sword,’ is the fortune of a beast like you.” He leapt into the air, sword flashing like a bright rainbow tearing through the sky, a ten-meter-long blade of light ripping the space before him.

The Vajra beast roared. Though massive in appearance, it moved with incredible agility. Its unique beastly danger perception was no less than Gu Dong’s. Sensing the threat, it wisely avoided a direct clash. Having already sensed Le Kai’s presence, its fighting spirit soared, its crimson eyes glowed as if the red light was about to burst through its body. It twisted and leapt into the air.

Boom!

The sharp sword light was incomparably powerful compared to before. The ground churned up mud and stones, gouging a scar about a meter wide and a hundred meters long—a terrifying sight.

Sang Qing hadn’t expected the Vajra to dodge his finishing blow and was stunned. Even more surprising was that the beast leapt up wielding a club.

“Damn, beasts can use weapons too? This is unbelievable!” Sang Qing was taken aback. He had never seen the beast use a weapon before! Had it been carrying that club all along without revealing it? It knew footwork, tactics, and martial arts—was this still a mutated beast from a backward planet?

Before he could dwell on it, the metal club howled as if the entire world was drawn into its strike, crashing down. Though the Vajra was several levels beyond him, Sang Qing still felt a crushing sense of powerlessness. He dared not block but could only dodge far away.

What followed was a fierce entanglement between man and beast, a battle shaking the heavens and earth. The violent aura was more than twice as intense as before.

The Vajra’s sudden burst left Sang Qing completely off guard, shocked at the possibility that this beast was playing possum to conceal its true strength.

He didn’t know that when it fell earlier, the Vajra had ingested a “Rage Pill” concocted by Le Kai. Already fueled by anger, the “Rage Pill”—a kind of berserker stimulant—had massively amplified its strength, far beyond simple addition.

Compared to the wild battle over there, Gu Dong and the others appeared much calmer yet eerily tense. The three kept shifting positions, expressions tense. They spared no effort weaving a net of spiritual power to monitor closely. Any attack within three hundred meters would be sensed immediately. Though draining, this was likely the only way against such a stealthy and unfathomable dark arrow attack.

Unlike the three, the siblings Lan Bo and Wu’s eyes gleamed with excitement and hope. That voice had clearly come from Le Kai. Never before had they found him so endearing.

The gun god, with his own strong spiritual power, flickered with a hint of unease. He could sense the three had formed a nearly impenetrable spiritual net. Under such conditions, any sneak attack by Le Kai from any angle would be doomed.

Le Kai stood as steady as a rock, like a statue carved from stone, motionless, the bow drawn to a full crescent but not releasing. Not a tremor betrayed him, though blood slowly dripped from his mouth. He seemed oblivious, maintaining this posture. His spirit and consciousness had completely merged with the bow and arrow. In this moment, he was the arrow, and the arrow was him. Every detail of the target was in his sight, yet he could not approach, for the entire three hundred meters was shrouded by the enemy’s spiritual power. Any foreign force would be detected immediately.

Though this drawn state carried immense power, without locking on the target with spiritual force, it was ineffective. Of course, wild shooting still had power. But with Lan Bo and Wu siblings and the gun god all within the attack range, this arrow, powered by Le Kai’s full strength as a Hall-level warrior, was far from trivial.

Suddenly, Le Kai’s eyes flickered slightly. In the next moment, the arrow in his hand vanished. At the same time, a heart-wrenching wail erupted from three hundred meters away!

At that moment, Le Kai no longer hesitated. Having taken down two opponents, even facing them head-on, victory was within reach.

He grabbed another pill nearby and shoved it into his mouth without looking. His body surged like a leopard, darting forward. The long arrow reappeared, but this time it was an ordinary arrow. Without hesitation, as his body moved at high speed, Le Kai drew the bowstring again.

Whiz, whiz, whiz!

Le Kai had practiced archery nearly every day, his skill now flawless. With the aid of spiritual power, his shots were near divine. The three arrows flew in quick succession, indistinguishable in order, screaming toward the target.

In that instant, the gun god exploded with spiritual power, gathering all his energy into a sharp cone, suddenly striking from within at the weakest spiritual power among the three—Gu Nan. Though only a martial warrior, the gun god’s spiritual power was stronger than Gu Nan’s by a fraction. The sudden attack stunned Gu Nan, his mind ringing, falling into a dazed state. The spiritual net constructed by the three immediately collapsed.

In that brief moment, Le Kai—the patient hunter—finally found the perfect opportunity. His spiritual force surged in, locked onto Gu Nan, and unleashed a fatal arrow.

When Gu Nan, like Gu Bei before him, was burned by Le Kai’s compressed fire elemental vital energy, the remaining two brothers lost their minds. They wildly swept their magnetic guns, unable to locate the target. Gu Xi howled madly, pointing his gun at the real culprit—the now unconscious gun god.

Le Kai naturally could not stand idly by.

The fast-approaching arrows no longer carried the ghostly, unpredictable traits of before. As soon as they entered the three hundred meter range, Gu Xi sensed them. Though killing the gun god took less than a second, the following arrows were coming no slower than his shots. It was not worth exchanging his precious life for the death of an insignificant insect. Furious, Gu Xi shouted and rolled sideways, simultaneously turning his gun and pulling the trigger toward the incoming arrows.

Knowing the enemy’s location, things became easier. That strange stealth attack earlier was the most terrifying.

At the same time, Gu Dong also fired toward the same direction. The magnetic guns possessed terrifying power. The small hill ahead shrank mysteriously by half under the shockwave. No matter how hard the rock, it was vaporized by the two shots. If the target was hit, there would be no chance of survival.

Whiz, whiz, whiz!

Boom, boom, boom!

Both fired together, aided by spiritual power, accurately vaporizing the three arrows.

“Come out and die!” Gu Dong’s talent played its role, but his eyes revealed deep fear. His body moved rapidly, the gun muzzle constantly adjusting, yet he did not fire another shot. He even began to doubt whether the opponent was human or ghost, as he could not lock onto him. The enemy moved constantly, mysteriously and at incredible speed.

How was this possible? Was the target really just a teenager from a primitive planet?

The next second, all doubt vanished as a figure suddenly appeared in his sight.

Seeing the youth rushing directly at him, Gu Dong’s eyes turned blood-red. He roared, seemingly venting all his hatred, and fired fiercely. A blinding light erupted, the space before him seeming emptied, forming a visible vacuum corridor extending all the way to the target, reducing everything to ash.

Everyone was dumbfounded, their hearts trembling with despair. Could Le Kai survive such an attack?

Including Gu Dong, none believed anyone could evade the direct assault of the godlike magnetic gun. It covered a terrifying diameter of thirty meters—no one could move beyond that range in an instant!

Yet, in the next moment, Gu Dong was stunned.

That cold, resolute figure was still there, strangely approaching, strolling as if leisurely. Yet in an instant, the distance between them shrank from three hundred meters to barely a hundred.
