Chapter 11: Swift, Accurate and Ruthless

  "Get down..." Before he knew it, Ding Xuan had already arrived by Ruo Huo's side and pressed his head down. A bullet whizzed past the top of their heads.

  "Is there a sniper?" Huo Yan Jing exclaimed in shock.

  "Hmm..." Ding Xuan nodded.

  If it wasn't for Ding Xuan Cheng, she would have been shot in the head by a sniper. With a hint of gratitude, the relationship between them underwent some subtle changes. She was no longer just an instructor teaching him skills, and control seemed to be shifting into Ding Xuan Cheng's hands.

  There was no sign of the new Ding on Ding Xuan's body, and when he encountered this sudden situation, there was no tension in his eyes, but rather a calmness like a hunter, with a hint of excitement at finding prey.

  "The opponent seems to have dozens of people, just now I've already made four of them temporarily lose their combat effectiveness. The remaining few, you stall, and I'll go take down that scumbag with the cold gun." Ding Xuan's mouth hooked up, full of confidence in himself.

  "No way, it's too dangerous." Huo Yan immediately vetoed Ding Xuan Cheng's proposal. It seemed that she had only just remembered her identity as an instructor. In this sudden situation, maintaining their strength and waiting for rescue was the best option. This was the territory of the War Eagles, and the administrators would arrive immediately to handle any situation in the forest. Waiting for reinforcements and then catching their opponents off guard was the superior strategy.

  "Heh heh, you're not falling for me, are you? You're being so nice to me."

  Ding Xuan's expression immediately changed from calm to infatuated as soon as Re Huo said those heartwarming words.

  "Get out of here! Do you think I'd fall for someone like you? Unless I've gone blind!" Hot Fire said angrily.

  "What's wrong? This place has no silver, three hundred taels." Ding Xuan Cheng smiled and joked.

  "You..." The fiery words couldn't be spoken, and in a fit of anger, she turned her head away. But beside her, there was no sound, and when she realized something was amiss, Ding Xuan's figure had already vanished.

  The black-clad man searched meticulously, as if he would dig three feet underground to find the two. After Ding Xuan left, Huo Yan also calmed down. Can't let this kid look down on me! Huo Yan thought to himself. His competitive spirit drove him forward, slowly advancing through the grass thicket, constantly closing in on his nearest target.

  Ding Xuan understood in his heart that the equipment he was carrying was fundamentally unable to counter-snipe. Generally, sniper rifles have a range of over 800 meters, but all he had on hand was a Colt M2000 with a range of 50 meters, and then there was the ghostly 400 bow crossbow behind him. The bow crossbow could only be used in close combat, wanting to use it to deal with snipers was simply nonsense.

  His mind racing, Ding Xuan had a plan. The most realistic one at the moment was to get the effective range of 550m from his opponent's body. At least in terms of distance, he had narrowed it down quite a bit. He thought of ways to get within five hundred meters of his opponent, and Ding Xuan would be able to take out the sniper. He was very confident in his marksmanship.

  To cover for Ding Xuan, Huo Yan took the lead in launching a surprise attack. As an expert in wilderness combat, she was naturally very adapted to her surroundings. The dense thorny forest was like flat ground to her, and she even used some of its features to get closer to the black-clad man. A tall, burly black-clad man became the first casualty.

  The men in black dispersed in twos and threes, searching for the two people's trail. This scattered search gave Hot Fire the opportunity to take them down one by one. The tall, imposing man in black didn't miss any details, but he alone forgot about the dense, thick trees within the forest. This was a forest, with not only grass and shrubs, but also trees. The big, black-clad man's oversight was fatal.

  The fiery feet were hooked on the tree fork, hanging upside down, with the upper body suspended in mid-air. The tall and dark-clad man happened to be walking by.

  "Ah......" A mournful cry echoed through the forest, the fiery movement was as swift as lightning, his arm wrapped around his opponent's neck, a silver light flashed, and the defensive master slashed across the black-robed man's neck.

  Dada...

  The miserable scream startled the rest of the black-clad men, who with a hint of terror, swept their M16s wildly in this direction, completely disregarding the lives of their own companions.

  The flames distracted the black-clad men, giving Ding Xuan an opportunity. As several of them focused their attention on the fire, Ding Xuan quietly made his way behind one of them.

  "Who..." was approached by someone, and the black-clothed man instinctively reacted, suddenly turning around.

  Your sister... Ding Xuan Cheng was suffocated to death, he didn't make any sound, but was detected by the opponent. These people are not simple, they actually have a kind of sixth sense alertness, Ding Xuan Cheng knew that it was a kind of intuitive reaction accumulated in the bloody battlefield.

  He raised the M16, and before the man in black could fire, a dark muzzle spat out a flame, and the Colt M2000 in Ding Xuan's hand was smoking.

  Backed into a corner, the people in black were thrown into confusion once again.

  Whoosh...

  The unique sound of the sniper rifle bullet piercing through the air entered Ding Xuan's ears, and he knew that his previous shot had attracted the attention of the guy hiding in the dark, exposing his position. Rolling on the spot to avoid the bullets, he picked up the M16 from the black-clad man lying in a pool of blood, hung it around his neck, and then dashed into the waist-high grass.

  After finishing off the two, she no longer engaged in a fierce battle and immediately retreated. She was an expert within the War Eagle, with her opponent having sniper rifle support. In this situation, she could only engage in guerrilla warfare and couldn't easily expose her position.

  The men in black gathered together, switching from offense to defense. Although their opponents were only two people, they were strong and had the upper hand. At this moment, they could only try to concentrate their own personnel together to prevent the opponent's one-on-one strategy and protect their lives.

  The opportunity was not good, and Huo Yan did not force her hand because Ding Xuan's action had already begun. What was more important to her was to attract the opponent's attention and create an opportunity for Ding Xuan. Since she couldn't stop this guy, Huo Yan could only do her best not to drag Ding Xuan down.

  Moving slowly in the direction of the sniper rifle bullet, Ding Xuan Cheng approached about 500 meters after several minutes. For him, the most difficult part at this moment was to find the exact location of the opponent. A well-trained sniper could stay still for a whole day in harsh conditions, so if the opponent didn't want to expose himself, Ding Xuan Cheng was helpless.

  Expose himself... Ding Xuan's mind suddenly flashed a bold idea.

  Using himself as bait to lure the other party into firing, thereby accurately locating their position. Although it's very dangerous, under current circumstances there's no choice but to take a risk, otherwise he would have no way to make a move.

  Clutching the M16 in his hand, Ding Xuan Cheng raised his half-crouching body a bit higher, poking his head out of the grass thicket, and also quickened his pace, trying to attract the enemy's attention.

  Five hundred meters away, a rocky outcrop overgrown with weeds, a man in camouflage gear was crawling, his body covered with leaves, motionless, until something unusual appeared in the bushes, he put down the sniper rifle in his hand and picked up the binoculars beside him.

  "Hmm..." A sly smile spread across the sniper's face as he observed Ding Xuan's bold move.

  Lower the binoculars, raise the sniper rifle, all movements are so familiar, quick and rhythmic. Under the unhurried movement, the muzzle of the sniper rifle was raised, and through the scope, the sniper saw Ding Xuan Cheng more than 400 meters away.

  "Little kid, come and die if you dare." The sniper muttered to himself.

  Ding Xuan Cheng rhythmically controlled his speed, suddenly fast and slow, only by constantly changing his position and speed could he make the opponent's aim appear to be in error. By making such a risky decision, he had not prepared to retreat completely, getting hurt was no big deal, as long as it wasn't fatal, he had confidence that he would be able to take down the opponent.

  "Ha... think you can still run away..." A sinister smile crept onto the sniper's face, he had been aiming for half a day but couldn't quite get a 100% kill shot. Unexpectedly, Ding Xuan suddenly stopped in his tracks, this was the best opportunity he had found in several minutes.

  The finger slowly cocked the trigger, and the crosshairs of the scope were aimed at Ding Xuan's head.

  Bang... The gun went off.

  But an unbelievable scene appeared before the sniper's eyes. Ding Xuan Cheng, who was just crouching, suddenly stood up straight.

  The bullet tore through the air with a sharp whistle and shot towards Ding Xuan Cheng.

  Your sister... Ding Xuan Cheng heavily spat, the gunshot sound had just entered his ears, and he knew he had won the bet. The level of this sniper made him laugh and cry, originally he was circling to lure the opponent into firing, but unexpectedly the opponent didn't find an opportunity even when he deliberately exposed himself, he could only stop, letting the opponent shoot at a stationary target, then change his body position while the opponent fired, dodging the fatal spot.

  Ding Xuan Cheng smiled. The moment he stood up, he saw a giant stone 300 meters away with flames spewing out from it. Because it was at night, the scene was particularly clear.

  Pfft... The bullet pierced through Ding Xuan's arm, bringing out a blood arrow, but it didn't affect Ding Xuan's combat strength.

  Raise the gun, although his left hand was injured, it did not affect the stability of his hand. His legs were spread apart, forming a large character step, and his eyes aimed at the night vision scope. Ding Xuan's body moved like a machine, fast and accurate. The opponent's body crawling on the boulder appeared in the scope, took a deep breath, and everything around him, including his own movements, seemed to slow down. The figure of the opponent appeared near the cross star.

  Huu... Ding Xuan Cheng slowly exhaled the air he had just deeply inhaled into his chest cavity, and when he felt that about half of the gas stored in his lungs had been exhaled, he pulled the trigger.

  On the boulder, the sniper was still lamenting why he hadn't hit his target with one shot, when a tongue of flame appeared in his scope.

  No good... The sniper's heart secretly called out, and he felt a sharp object piercing through his head with a whistling sound, fresh blood flowing from his right eye.

  Ding Xuan's bullet shot through the sniper's right brain, entering from the eye and exiting from the back of the head, blowing his opponent's entire head to pieces.

  Yes, Ding Xuan Cheng swung his fist and threw away the M16 in his hand. With precision as if calculated, he fired a shot that was incredibly swift, taking less than two seconds to complete, it was truly divine.

  Ding Xuan's shooting method is not like ordinary people, he combines the precision of Old Jack and the feeling of Roger, and adds some of his own understanding, so he can save most of the time for aiming that ordinary people need, and shoot much faster than ordinary people.

  Rog's shooting is feeling-based, while Old Jack relies on body posture as a benchmark, with precise posture bringing extra points to the shot. Ding Xuan Cheng Bao adopts the strengths of both, with accurate posture guaranteeing a hit rate and feeling being the subconscious reaction of a well-trained body. These two combined can add up to higher accuracy and also save a lot of aiming time.

  The sniper's death was not unjust, compared to Ding Xuan Cheng, he had an insurmountable gap. The interval between the first and second shots was accurately grasped by Ding Xuan Cheng, ordinary people found it difficult to react in the short time between the two shots, so the sniper didn't take it seriously. Unfortunately, his opponent today was Ding Xuan Cheng, a quick, accurate, and ruthless shot ended his life.
