Buttface’s shouts made everyone who was watching take in a sharp breath of cold air. Even though they didn’t understand what it was that he was shouting about, it seemed pretty awesome.
Other than Buttface and Xu Que, no one else had any idea what a heavy sniper rifle the Barrett was.
But the fact that it had surprised Buttface so much and gotten him so excited, even a fool could see that Xu Que’s huge black gun was much more powerful than the previous AKM.
WHOOSH!
Xu Que brought the Barrett up to his eyes and, using the scope that magnified his target at eight times its original strength, aimed directly at the Celestial Kings of the Sage Sect who were still retreating in the distance.
As both the Celestial Kings were retreating, they were constantly shifting their shapes. It was extremely difficult to predict their exact positions, but Xu Que soon realized that there seemed to be a pattern to the old woman’s shifting.
Therefore, he aimed at the old woman.
When encountering a long-range target that was running to the left and then the right, as long as their next positions could be predicted, and also taking into account the calculation of the wind speed and the trajectory of the bullet, it was possible to hit the target.
These were the most basic functions of the sniper rifle, but Xu Que could use it very proficiently. Other than his own judgment, the calculation of the wind speed and the trajectory of the bullet could be calculated by the System in just the blink of an eye.
With such accurate data, Xu Que was confident that this shot would be a killing shot.
CLICK!
Finally, after a deep breath, Xu Que pulled the trigger of the Barrett.
BANG!
A deafening gunshot instantly sounded out, even distorting the surrounding void.
Everyone in the audience was horrified and their ears started buzzing.
If only the noise of this huge High-Grade Celestial Artifact firing was already so terrifying, wouldn’t the bullet that flew out of it be even more scary?
“Wait a minute, where was the bullet?”
Everyone seemed to think of something at the same time, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Earlier, when Xu Que had used the AKM to shoot, they were still able to see traces of the bullet, but now, after he’d fired the Barrett, no one could see any trace of a bullet.
WHOOSH!
At around this time, the old female Celestial King from the Sage Sect, who was still in the process of retreating, suddenly felt the air rip apart behind her. For a moment, there was a cold feeling at her back, and she experienced an unlucky sensation.
“What’s the matter with me?” She thought to herself. She frowned, and just as she shifted toward the left, there was a sharp sensation in her head.
This was her sense of danger, a kind of intuition that she had cultivated over the years. As soon as any danger was life-threatening, her head would tingle.
“How is this possible?”
The old woman felt a shock and, without any hesitation, exuded a Celestial Core Power throughout her body, exhausting all of it and sacrificing it for an armor of the same grade as a High-Grade Celestial Artifact.
WHOOSH!
After the High-Grade Celestial armor appeared, she covered her body with it, and a ray of light completely engulfed her.
Having learned from the previous experience of Li Xuanqi being attacked on the soles of his feet, the old woman not only protected her head and feet this time, but also the strands of her hair. Her entire person seemed to be wrapped in a cocoon that beamed brightly.
However, the tingling sensation in her brows didn’t disappear, but only became stronger and stronger.
“Unless all that wasn’t enough…”
There was a tremor in the old woman Celestial King’s heart, and, just as she was preparing to do something, the void behind her was suddenly torn open.
BOOM!
Following an extremely loud noise, a black bullet tore through the void and blasted through her armor as if it hadn’t even been there, piercing straight through her head.
BOOM!
Another loud noise!
The old woman Celestial King’s head burst open right on the spot, and a blood mist spread through the air. It was incredibly disturbing.
HISS!
Everyone in the audience who had been able to witness this scene breathed in sharply, dumbfounded!
“This…how is this possible?”
“Killing an enemy who is thousands of miles away, and furthermore killing a Celestial King?”
“Exploding her head with just one shot?”
“My God, what kind of weapon is this?”
All the people were shouting in shock and disbelief.
The impact that Xu Que’s shot had had on them was incredibly strong. “As a cultivator, who would want such a terrible Celestial Artifact to exist in the world?”
“Well, that wasn’t bad.” Xu Que said to himself with a smile, put away the Barrett, and sighed again. “Unfortunately, in this mode, its power is reduced, and it cannot kill the enemy.”
The crowd suddenly froze.
“Cannot kill the enemy?”
“What did this mean?”
BOOM!
The next moment, there was a loud noise from the headless body of the old woman Celestial King. The large blood mist swept through the air, and the surrounding Qi started to gather madly.
With the traction gathered by the Qi, the blood mist finally formed a ball of blood, which fell on the old woman’s neck and gradually solidified.
Immediately after that, the old woman Celestial King’s head, which had been originally blasted into pieces, returned to its original state.
“She did not actually die?”
“That’s right. A Celestial King’s vitality is so powerful, how could she die so easily?”
“Wait a minute, did Li Xuanqi also not die?”
The crowd reacted strangely and looked over to where Li Xuanqi had supposedly died, but the disciples of the Heaven Palace Academy were disappointed. Li Xuanqi was really dead.
“Sh*t, little fellow. This hasn’t killed her?” Buttface yelled suddenly.
“That was not unexpected.” Xu Que shook his head and smiled. Under the System’s transformation of metal, although the Barrett was very powerful and just one bullet had caused such serious damage, its power was limited.
It was already very good that it was able to tear off the other person’s head, but if he wanted to cut off their vitality and chase away their soul, all the metals in the System must be used.
For example, when Li Xuanqi had been killed, all the metals in the System had rushed out and pierced through Li Xuanqi’s physical body. He was smashed alive and even his soul was killed. There had been no chance for him to escape.
“Little beast, I want you to die right now.” Suddenly, the old woman Celestial King roared.
Although she had recovered her head and kept her life, Xu Que’s shot had also severely injured her vitality. Even if her life was safe, it would take hundreds of years to recover from the injury.
“Enough, let’s fight together!” The male Celestial King of the Sage Sect rushed to the side of the old woman and proposed they attack Xu Que together.
The strengths and ability of Xu Que had left him no choice but to have to take Xu Que more seriously.
He knew that it was useless to continue to retreat, and in order to avoid following in the footsteps of the old woman, he chose to propose that they fight together.
“Okay!” The old woman yelled through gritted teeth.
BOOM!
Suddenly, there was a majestic white-grey mist seeping out of the old woman, just like a white dragon, sweeping upward.
A black mist started pouring out of the old man’s body, just like a black dragon, whistling as it came out.
“Oh no, the two of them have joined forces, and their strength is close to that of a Celestial Prime,” Zixia Fairy immediately frowned and said in a low voice.
She had said before that the Celestial Arts of these two Celestial Kings from the Sage Sect were complementary, one Yin and one Yang. Once they joined together to fight, their power would be doubled and much higher than that of the Celestial Prime Realm.
But because the old woman had been wounded, now when the two of them joined together, their strength would only be comparable to that of a Celestial Prime.
But this strength was more than Xu Que could handle.
“Hey! Don’t panic, I still have a big trick up my sleeve!”
Xu Que smiled slyly. The metal Barrett in his hand had already turned back into a square halberd.
But the metal armor on his body had just begun to start to move and was turning into countless metal blocks, suspended around his body and shining brilliantly.
