Chapter 103: Projection of Inner Force!

In that desolate location, even trees were sparse, making it a perfect spot for sniping.

If Ye Lingchen and Lin Ruoyu just stood there, they would be like target dummies.

What can he do?

Ye Lingchen gasped for air. Both of them were stuck close together with Ye Lingchen laying atop Lin Ruoyu, not daring to move an inch.

The small mound was really low, barely reaching half a meter. Furthermore, it was really small, just enough to hide the two of them. They could only try their utmost best to lower their body profile. If they showed their heads they would be shot by the sniper.

“Lingchen, what do we do now?” Lin Ruoyu asked in a low voice. She could almost feel Ye Lingchen’s warm breath hitting her face.

“I’ll think of a way.” Ye Lingchen tried his best to take in the view of his surroundings, formulating a plan to escape.

Following that, he strained his ears to listen.

The birds in the sky flew by continuously. Along with that, he heard the birds frantic words as they flew away from the sniper.

“I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die! Help!”

“That human is so ugly. Especially that mustache above his lips.”

“He’s such a coward, hiding between that big rock and tree even though he has a gun.”

“Aiya, come look over there. There’s a man and woman hiding. The man is lying on top of the woman in public. So perverted!”

There were many birds, which led to many random voices mixed in his hearing. However, Ye Lingchen did manage to obtain a few important pieces of information.

First of all, that man had a mustache. Secondly—

He tried looking up as high as he could. Based on the direction the birds were flying from, he made out a general direction.

There was a huge rock jutting outwards over there, surrounded by the cover of trees. It was the perfect hiding spot.

“You stay here. Don’t show your head!” Ye Lingchen ordered as he started removing the weights on his wrists and ankles.

“You mustn’t go out!” Lin Ruoyu’s expression changed drastically, holding tightly onto Ye Lingchen’s clothes. She looked extremely worried and her eyes were red.

“It’s fine. He won’t be able to kill me,” Ye Lingchen answered with a nonchalant smile. With the weights removed, his entire body felt free.

The weights added up to a total of 70kgs. Ye Lingchen made a rough estimation that his speed would be at least two times faster than usual. Paired with his Parkour skill, his speed would be close to flying.

“Can’t we just stay here? Our reinforcements will be arriving soon.” Lin Ruoyu looked at Ye Lingchen, “That’s a gun! Furthermore, it’s a sniper from Earth’s Gate. He’s definitely above average. You’ll die if you show your head!”

“If we have reinforcements, the Earth’s Gate would have theirs too. If they are held back by this sniper and bring a few more people along, we will die for sure!” Ye Lingchen explained calmly. He took a deep breath, then locked his gaze with Lin Ruoyu, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Lin Ruoyu stared intently at Ye Lingchen, then suddenly leaned in towards Ye Lingchen.

Their faces were already almost touching. With that move, their lips met!

‘My god, did I just get… my kiss stolen?! Are all girls this proactive now?’

Three seconds later…

“You must be careful,” Lin Ruoyu muttered as she let go off Ye Lingchen.

“Mm,” Ye Lingchen savored the taste on his tongue, “You had strawberry ice cream didn’t you?”

“I had one secretly before I picked you up…”

‘No wonder it tasted like strawberries.’

He did not expect Lin Ruoyu, the daughter of a prominent family, to have liked such things.

After taking a deep breath, Ye Lingchen picked up a piece of rock and threw it high above his head!

Pfft!

A muffled sound could be heard. In an instant, that rock was destroyed.

A gleam flashed through Ye Lingchen’s eyes and he leaped up like a cheetah, dashing forward with all his might!

His speed was too fast. In a gust of wind, the surrounding scenery flew past him in a blur.

That speed was already beyond a human’s limitation. If Ye Lingchen were to take part in the Olympics, he would send the world into a frenzy.

Behind the big rock, that man with a mustache narrowed his eyes and fixated his unblinking gaze on Ye Lingchen.

When an ordinary person were to follow a moving object at high speeds, they would easily lose track of its direction. That was not the case for the mustached man. He was destined to be a sniper!

In Earth’s Gate, he was the cream of the crop of their sniper team. Once a target was in his sights, they were doomed to die!

The corner of his mouth turned into a contemptuous smile. His index finger hooked onto the trigger and the crosshair trailed Ye Lingchen’s movements.

Ye Lingchen may be fast, but that was not enough to escape his aim.

‘You think you can escape my aim with speed? Dream on.’Read comics on our webnovel.live

The mustached man licked his lips. That was a habit of his, like a predator anticipating the taste of its prey.

Just as he was ready to pull the trigger, Ye Lingchen had reached a tree. Using his arms and legs, he climbed up the tree effortlessly.

Hm?

The mustached man frowned, thinking that he might be imagining things.

How could someone be that good at climbing? It was almost supernatural!

Following that, Ye Lingchen dropped from the tree and sprinted to another tree, again effortlessly climbing up that tree.

Ye Lingchen was like Tarzan, jumping directly from that tree to another one.

‘That’s f*cking insane!’

The mustached man’s heart skipped a beat, ‘Even monkeys can’t climb at that speed!’

‘Seems like this will be a test of my skills in shooting.’

He quickly composed himself and accustomed himself to Ye Lingchen’s rhythm, continuing his aim.

At the same time, he realized something. Ye Lingchen was approaching him!

‘Is he trying to counterattack?’ The mustached man scoffed in his mind.

Sniping had a very strict range requirement. While shorter distances were not suited for sniping, it did not mean that a longer range would be better.

Every sniper had an optimum sniping range. With Ye Lingchen’s encroachment, he would soon enter the mustached man’s optimum sniping range!

He might not be able to kill a target with one bullet at long distances, but once the distance was closed, he was confident he could hit the head in one shot!

Finally, Ye Lingchen once again climbed up a tree and followed up with an abnormal leap.

In the mustached man’s eyes, Ye Lingchen was in the air, free from any cover. Ye Lingchen raised his hand, as though trying to swing his fist in the air!

‘Punching air? Are you kidding me? You’ve read too many novels. Are you expecting to shoot out qi or something?’

He hooked onto the trigger, getting ready to shoot in the next instant.

However, an invisible force suddenly rushed forth. It felt like a typhoon, distorting his face with the force, swaying trees. He could not open his eyes.

Boom!

Immediately after that, a bomb-like explosion could be heard. The rock he hid behind made a loud crack and his body was sent flying off along with the explosion!

Pfft!

He spat a mouthful of blood. Looking down at his chest, he noticed a fist-sized hole!

That single punch not only went through the rock he was hiding behind, it even pierced through his body. The power of it was terrifying.

He continually coughed up more blood from his mouth and stared at Ye Lingchen in disbelief, exclaiming, “Pro… projection of inner force!”
