“William, the target has been rescued and is now under heavy protection. We’ve also received reliable intelligence that Cyclops, the powerful storyline character, has intervened in this operation. One look from him and we’ll probably turn to ashes. We’d better retreat.”
The voice of the other sniper came from the earpiece. The moustached guy, William, had no intention of moving at all. He caressed his cheek with his pale, slender fingers as he carefully observed the commotion in the distant building.
“Give me three more minutes, Keith. The guy in the building is really strong, but that also means the loot will be rich! It’s rare to meet a Berserker-type like him; we can’t miss this chance! As long as we can kill him, it’s no big deal even if we fail the main mission. A Berserker that can take so much damage…he might have legendary equipment on him!”
“WHAT?! Are you sure?” Upon hearing the words “legendary equipment”, Keith could not help asking in shock.
“I’ve observed him for four minutes and thirty-seven seconds before I came to this conclusion. What do you think?” Moustached guy William replied confidently.
That silenced Keith. In terms of Perceptive Sense, there was a big gap between him and William. William was considered an outstanding scout even on a Bloody Battlefield.
Keith immediately came to a decision. “Let’s give him a few shots. Surely we’ll be able to kill him!”
“Great minds think alike,” Moustached man William’s lips curled into a mysterious smile. “Sure, he has a lot of HP, but how many sniper shots can he take before he dies? What’s more, you have a consecutive shot ability!”

At that very moment, Zi was strolling into this very airport building in high heels and a pink overcoat! Sounds of the high heels from Chanel’s latest collection clattering against the floor and Zi’s slender legs wrapped in sexy black stockings caused many heads to turn. Her clothes complimented her tall figure and made her look particularly charming. The large red suitcase she pulled behind her announced her identity as a passenger.
Zi’s entrance attracted at least 40% of the eyes in the departure lounge, half of them gazes of envy while the other half gazes of admiration. However, there were also three pair of eyes that were full of wariness. Their gazes swept past Zi like poisonous snakes.
There was no way the two snipers, Keith and William, had not taken any precautions in case their enemies closed in on them. Besides being guarded by their servants, they also had a companion who specialised in close combat. These people formed their second line of defence.
Therefore, the moment Zi stepped into the departure lounge, she could instantly sense a great threat.
The gaze from William’s servant was particularly sharp. The servant was a Native with extremely strong arms. His weapon was a boomerang with many sharp nails on it. Each nail was long enough to pierce through the enemy’s skull. He would throw the boomerang at Zi as soon as he detected any danger from her.
Keith’s servant was a member of the Special Forces. His weapon was an XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement System, an airburst grenade launcher with programmable ammunition, also known as the Punisher. It looked a little like an MP5 with a thicker barrel. Its ammunition was 25mm grenades. The shooter could program the grenades to fly towards the target and detonate at a specific position in the air. This feature of the weapon enabled the shooter to wipe out enemies who hid behind covers.
The companion of Keith and William who specialised in melee combat, Morris, simply stared at Zi with a chilly gaze without revealing any murderous intent or hostility, as if he was merely a cold brick.
This kind of people were the hardest to guard against. They could keep their murderous intent hidden while preparing to strike in secret. They would not strike until they were sure they could draw blood!
Morris quietly approached Zi from the side, trying to put Zi in his optimal attack range.
But unbeknownst to him, Zi was perfectly aware of him and the two servants. Although she could not sense them with her Perceptive Sense, she had the help of Professor X’s proud disciple Jean. The enemies’ thoughts were precisely transmitted into her mind.
Besides, Zi was not that simple herself. Even someone like Bind had to respect her and would not make her the primary target of an attack, despite her being a mage! Since she dared to come, she naturally had full confidence of defeating the enemies even without Jean’s help!
Although the crowd in the departure lounge was bustling, Zi could clearly identify the three enemies. They might not be completely under her control, but she was confident that their actions were well within her grasp!
Thanks to Jean’s help, the three enemies could not verify Zi’s identify that easily. Zi had also took the time to dress herself up in order to confuse the enemies. Under normal circumstances, contestants would try their best to hide themselves and maintain as low a profile as possible. No one would deliberately make themselves look so dazzling as to turn heads!
Thanks to this, she was able to take more than ten noisy steps into the departure lounge in her high heels until she was within 20 meters of Morris. Then, she abruptly flicked her red checkered velvet scarf to block the sight of the two servants, and smiled at Morris.
Morris was a little surprised, but also somewhat hopeful of a possible romantic encounter. But suddenly, an indescribably sharp glint appeared in the eyes of the stylish woman in front of him and directly penetrated into his heart!
A sharp pain suddenly came from all over his body, as if it was tearing apart. His whole body was paralysed. He felt as if his mind was going to go numb too.
This was the move which had caused Sheyan much suffering once: ‘Force.Needle Explosion’!
Zi continued walking towards Morris with a smile. No one noticed her long finger moving in the air, tracing various strange symbols as if there was an invisible silk thread tied to the finger. Every time a symbol was drawn, Morris, who was paralysed in place, would twitch in pain!
When the number of abilities Zi performed reached five, her face was already looking a little pale. Finally, her finger traced a symbol which signified “The End” in Sith text.
Zi had performed a series of her abilities, namely ‘Force.Collision Wall’, ‘Force.Needle Explosion’, ‘Force.Alternate-Shuddering Wall’, etc…. All of them had struck Morris, but none of the damage occurred until the symbol signifying “The End” in Sith text appeared. All the stacked up power hit Morris at the same time like an avalanche. It also happened to trigger an explosive hit. Together with the special effect of the Ndipaya set, the Growth Hunter Morris was insta-killed!
Suddenly, the lights in the whole departure lounge flashed once, as if the electric supply was unstable. Morris’ eyes suddenly opened wide. A trail of blood dripped down the corner of his mouth as he slowly collapsed. He had died on the spot.
The reason for this anomaly was that Zi had finally comprehended her Awakening Skill after giving it much thought. She had long accumulated enough power and combat experience, while her equipment was also strong enough. What was lacking before was just insight. So once she managed to see the light, everything naturally fell into place. This was the first application of her Awakening Skill in actual combat. As expected, its power was breathtaking!
The name of Zi’s Awakening Skill was ‘Shattered Republic’.
Zi had originally planned to gather all her abilities and release them in a single attack, and she wanted to name it ‘Republic’. But after seeing the fight between Sheyan and Rocky, Zi realised that perfection was an unreachable distance, so she gave up on her previous thought. Instead, she would first paralyse the opponent, then combine several skills she was most proficient in and pour them into the opponent before “detonating” them for a great outburst of power!
In memory of her previous idea, Zi named this ability ‘Shattered Republic’. At present, she could only combine five of her abilities, and they must be instantaneous ones.
Morris was actually rather unlucky. He specialised in melee combat, stunning, illusion, and poison, but he was killed before he could even do anything! Lust was indeed a man’s greatest bane!
The two servants had clearly realised that something was off by now, especially when they saw Morris slowly fall down! The servant holding the XM-25 system on the second floor immediately released the safety catch. He skillfully aimed the black cross in his scope on Zi’s head and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
He licked his lips excitedly. An inexplicable pleasure washed over him, and it even gave him a slight erection.Too see the head of such an unparalleled beauty burst like a watermelon from his shot was no longer a job for this guy, but his pleasure and a source of excitement.(ED: ew)
However, right after the servant had pulled the trigger, the head he was aiming at through his scope suddenly turned into Morris’ chest!
Zi had already abandoned her suitcase and dashed towards Morris, who had not reached the ground yet, to lift him up with one hand and use him as a shield!
The grenade launched by the XM-25 system was very powerful. It first drilled into Morris’ chest, then exploded with a loud boom! If it had hit an enemy, the enemy would first be subjected to a penetration damage, then explode from the inside!
Flesh and blood sprayed everywhere, dyeing the area more than ten square meters around in a cruel crimson. A woman who was passing by stood motionless with a dull expression on her face, seemingly unable to comprehend what had just happened until she wiped a handful of warm flesh and blood off her face. She stared at her hand blankly, then let out a horrifying scream!
Zi, who should have been severely injured by the attack, had vanished from the sight of the two servants. She had cleverly disappeared into the crowd like an agile fish with ulterior motives mingling into a swarm of panicking fishes.
