Chapter 753: Snipe! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"Should we send them?" The skinny man frowned. Although people like them would send higher authorities new materials every year, not all of them could succeed. Until now, there was only one successful case. Those that failed took up much of the organization"s wealth and manpower. If he was not satisfied with the performance of the material, he didn"t want to let them join. The two people in front of him didn"t meet his standards.
"You are thinking about it too much. We are just in charge of sending materials in. As for whether they will become a success or a failure, that is the job of those lunatics." The chubby man continued smiling. However, the words he said did not fit his image at all. He even looked at Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu coldly with an icy gaze while still having that smile on his face. It was like they were looking at a poisonous snake.
Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu were outstanding talents in their families. With them being able to reach the peak stage of Qi-Jin at 16 years old, they, of course, were not stupid. When they heard what the other party was openly saying, they knew that nothing good was going to happen to them in the near future. They exchanged glances with each other, and without even saying anything, they simultaneously escaped in separate directions. They hoped that their opponents would hesitate for a moment.
This short gap in time might not allow them to escape safely.
The moment Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu ran off, the chubby and skinny man gave a sarcastic look before each of them choosing a target and chasing after their own targets.
The surprise escape allowed them to distance themselves from their pursuers, but this distance was getting shorter and shorter. It could be said that the two men purposely allow them to have the chance to run away. They wanted to see how these two young men would react when hopelessness engulfed them.
Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu were frightened but they were calm and collected. Thus, they immediately understood their opponents" intentions. Su Pei made a decision and Xiao Yiqiu showed a wild look in his eyes. The two of them immediately stopped in their tracks and charged at their opponent.
Since they couldn"t escape, they might as well fight to their deaths!
"Haha, not bad. Courageous! I like it!" The firm look on the two young men"s faces made their pursuers excited. They were not satisfied with their capabilities but their temperament might allow them to survive the secret arts and become a successful experiment.
The chubby and skinny men were prepared to take their attacks. Unexpectedly, their attacks were a feint, and as of this result, Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu flew past them safely.
This was out of their expectations. Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu had succeeded in buying them more time. The two men got slightly furious. They stopped holding back their speed and they instantly appeared behind Xiao Yiqiu and Su Pei.
However, Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu already managed to group together. Xiao Yiqiu pulled Su Pei behind him. His face turned red. He opened his mouth wide and roared loudly.
The loud roar echoed through the entire forest.
"Domain!" The chubby man reacted quickly. He immediately released his domain realm power to forcefully contain the sound within the barrier he created.
The skinny man"s expression changed. "That is the Conqueror Wave from the Xiao family."
Xiao Yiqiu realized that his family"s Conqueror Wave was not able to break through his opponent"s technique. He now knew his opponent was not at any stage of Qi-Jin. No one on the same stage as him should be able to contain his Conqueror Wave. It meant that his opponent couldn"t contain it even if he was at the optimal peak Great Perfection of Qi-Jin.
"Su Pei, you only have ten seconds." Xiao Yiqiu"s eyes were turning red. His handsome face started becoming hideous.
"Xiao Yiqiu…" Emotions started appearing in Su Pei"s eyes, which was unexpected as he always seemed nonchalant about everything.
"Remember the thousand years long alliance between the Su family and the Xiao family.. hurry up and leave!" Xiao Yiqiu pushed Su Pei forcefully. Su Pei made use of this force and moved at the speed of light towards the edge of the forest.
Xiao Yiqiu, if we both manage to live, you will be my most important friend. You will be my only confidant too.
"I will take care of the young man from the Xiao family. You can go and chase after the other one." The skinny man knew that the chubby man used up too much energy to contain the Conqueror Wave so he volunteered to take care of this troublesome fellow in front of them.
The Xiao family. Based on their ability and their bloodline, they should be able to become a second-rate elite family. Unfortunately, just like the Xie family, they had too little people in their family. Thus, they were only able to become a wealthy family on a third-rate planet.
However, it was wrong to think that they were just a low-cla.s.s family. They didn"t have many family members but everyone in the Xiao family was a human-beast. It was said that this ability inherited from their ancestors. Once they release the power of their bloodline, they would become a ferocious and strong beast. Of course, this was just a rumor among the upper echelons. No one had really seen the members of the Xiao family transforming before.
The skinny man knew of this trait so he knew that the weak-looking Xiao Yiqiu was not easy to deal with.
The chubby man moved. Xiao Yiqiu wanted to stop him. He was prepared to use his life to exchange for ten seconds of time for Su Pei to escape.
"Your opponent is me!" The skinny man moved and blocked Xiao Yiqiu. However, at that moment, Xiao Yiqiu"s face turned hideous. It seemed as though his entire face was splitting apart. He opened his mouth larger than normal. He roared.
"d.a.m.n it!" The chubby man had no choice but to stop. He released his domain and stopped the Conqueror Wave from hitting him again. Because of this, Su Pei got closer to the edge of the forest.
"Don"t care about him. Leave him to me." The skinny man stopped holding back. He took over the chubby man"s position and released his domain. He sealed Xiao Yiqiu within his domain.
A few shiny metal wires appeared on the ground. These metal wires slithered up Xiao Yiqiu"s body and bonded him up like a dumpling. The metal wires coiled around his body turning into metal rings, which restricted Xiao Yiqiu. The element of the skinny man was metal.
"Okay!" The chubby man saw that the skinny man had subdued Xiao Yiqiu so he disappeared to chase after Su Pei.
Xiao Yiqiu tried his best to escape from the metal rings. However, the strength of a domain realm master was too powerful. Even if he aroused the power of his bloodline which allowed him to get near the optimal peak Great Perfection of Qi-Jin, he would still be unable to break free.
Xiao Yiqiu never expected the skinny man to be a domain realm master too. That was why he could only stop the chubby man for a mere three seconds, much shorter than the ten seconds he predicted. The only good thing was, Xiao Yiqiu thought that he would be dead by now. Yet, he was still alive and could continue fighting with the skinny man.
Meng Shaoran saw Su Pei and Xiao Yiqiu splitting up. He was indecisive. Which one should he help?
Based on his ability, he could only fight with one of the two domain realm masters. If the two of them attacked him together, he would surely die. It meant that he must give up one person in exchange for the life of another.
"I"m curious about the Xiao family but I"m more curious about the Su family…" Meng Shaoran made a decision. He moved and followed behind the chubby man.
Compared to Xiao Yiqiu, Su Pei was calmer and more decisive. In the face of a life-or-death situation, he wouldn"t show any emotions in his eyes. Even when Xiao Yiqiu decided to sacrifice himself to save him, he still made the right decision, even though he was touched.
He has potential! Meng Shaoran had a good impression of Su Pei.
"Ah!" Xiao Yiqiu sounded like a beast roaring. His body started to turn into a beast. This meant that the power of his bloodline was fully released. As the power of his bloodline was released, the metal ring that the skinny man created started to crack.
"Troublesome." The skinny man frowned. He stomped his feet and his force of presence started exuding out. The metal ring on Xiao Yiqiu"s body lit up, and the cracks disappeared.
There were not many metal elements found in the forest. This was why the skinny man couldn"t make a metal coffin to encase him. The skinny man didn"t expect the young man"s bloodline to be so strong. It pushed him further than the optimal peak of Qi-Jin. It almost broke his metal ring.
When he saw that Xiao Yiqiu had no more energy to resist, he walked up and wanted to take Xiao Yiqiu back to his secret base.
Just as he was about to grab Xiao Yiqiu, he felt a killing intent targeting him. He moved to the side instinctively.
Boom! Blood spurted out of his right shoulder. The skinny man shuddered and moved a few meters back. He hid behind a thick tree trunk.
He looked at the direction where the shot came from. He hadn"t recovered from the shock. The person who shot him was an exceptional sniper as he used a normal bullet to hurt him. The man looked at his wound. A bullet slowly floated out of it. At his stage, bullets shot into his body could be forced out using his hidden energy.
The bullet dropped to the ground silently. The skinny man waved his hand and the bullet landed on his palm. He looked at it. It was a familiar model. This bullet should be from the sniper rifle their own sniper used. Seems like the other party killed the sniper attacking him and took his gun.
"I never expected such a powerful sniper to exist in the world. He could hide from the senses of a domain realm master." The skinny man gave a malicious look. As long as he found where the person was, there was nothing his opponent could do. So what if he was a powerful sniper? In front of a domain realm master, he was nothing.
