Myth Beyond Heaven

Chapter 436 - Cloud Shadow (9)

Chris's head was burst out, and his brain splattered all over the place. Everything happened in a split second that other members hadn't yet to react. When they came back to their sense, Yun Lintian had already rolled away and successfully killed another one nearby Chris and disappeared into the forest. No matter how they tried to shoot, it did not hit the target at all.

"Damn it! Is he really a human?" One of the two remaining people cursed aloud. Fear enveloped his heart as he had never seen anyone moving like Yun Lintian before. 

Another man beside him was already trembling. He quickly pressed on his intercom, intending to contact Ross, but suddenly saw another unknown object flying toward him. Without thinking further, he hastily jumped away and rolled onto the ground.

Boom!

This time, it wasn't a fake grenade like the previous one. The grenade instantly exploded before hitting the ground, and the man who was cursing earlier could not escape in time. His body was ruthlessly hit by the shell, and lost his life on the spot.

At this moment, Yun Lintian's figure emerged right after the explosion disappeared. His eyes were now covered with the night vision he got from Chris earlier. He could immediately locate the last survival and rushed to him. 

The man hadn't yet recovered from the aftershock. He didn't even have a chance to stand up, but his throat had already been cut by Yun Lintian, and lost his breath in the next moment.

After finishing his opponent, Yun Lintian quickly searched their corpses and took some useful weapons such as grenades, combat knives, and pistols with him. 

Yun Lintian knew he could no longer move toward the east further because other teams should have noticed his position already. If he insisted on moving in the same direction again, he would be immediately sandwiched between the two groups. Thus, the best way he could do right now was to head toward the mountain's peak.

On the other side of the mountain, Ross had long heard the explosion and was now moving in the sound's direction with his team. At the same time, he gave other groups an order to close Yun Lintian's path.

When Ross's team arrived at the battlefield, his brows involuntarily knitted together upon seeing his subordinates' corpses. Each one of them had been brutally killed. Especially the team leader, Chris. A massive hole in his head was good evidence to describe how ruthless Yun Lintian was. Even though everyone was a veteran that went through many battles before, they still had the urge to vomit when they saw this.

Everyone's heart grew heavy. They began to feel the danger of this operation. Although Chris's team couldn't be ranked in the top three, they weren't weak at all. Yet, they were slaughtered by Yun Lintian like this. 

Ross took a glance at the surroundings and determined Yun Lintian's direction. Without a doubt, he should move toward the mountain's peak. Thinking of this, he gave an order and led everyone up the mountain.

Along the way, they were especially cautious than before. They paid great attention to the trap, as they didn't want to end up like the previous incident.

At this moment, Ross suddenly raised his hand, and his team members were quickly halting their step. For some reason, Ross always felt something was amiss, but he could not pinpoint out. He was sure it wasn't because he was too nervous, but rather it came from his intuition.

Ross grabbed the gun tightly as he looked around carefully. All of a sudden, he caught a movement on the top of the tree ahead of him. In that split second, he instantly pulled the trigger, sending a rain of bullets to the target.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

When others saw Ross shooting at the tree, they did not hesitate to follow. Instantaneously, the mountain was filled with gun-firing sound.

A while later, Ross raised his hand to stop the firing and slowly walked to the targeted tree. When he drew closer, the object on the tree had become clearer. He immediately wanted to curse out loud when he saw it was Yun Lintian's windbreaker that was hanging on the tree.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

While everyone was looking at the broken windbreaker, a few gunshots suddenly rang out. The bullets immediately hit two people on the team. Both of them were hit precisely on the hands, making them let go of the guns and roll on the ground to avoid further attack.

Ross was no exception. He instinctively rolled on the ground the moment the gunshot rang out. As he was rolling, his hand swiftly reached his chest, taking a grenade out, removing the safety pin, and throwing it in the direction the gunshot was coming.

Boom!

Several trees in that area were instantly blasted away by the explosion. However, Yun Lintian had long escaped after sending the bullets to the enemy. At the same time, he also took out the grenade and threw it in Ross's direction.

When Ross saw this, he hurriedly got up and jumped away, avoiding the explosion timely. Unfortunately, two people under his command had been caught in the blast and were immediately lost their lives.

Seeing this scene, Ross couldn't help feeling cold all over his body. In his mind, Yun Lintian's reaction was beyond the human realm. There was no way a human could do this… What exactly was going on here? Was he a genetically modified human or something?

What Ross did not know was that Yun Lintian's reaction had nothing to do with the gene modification, but it was coming from the hellish training given by his father when he was young.

Under his father's training, Yun Lintian's intuition had become exceptionally sharp. He could anticipate the enemy's movement ahead of time and react before their attack came. This made him look like he responded extremely fast.

Ross did not dare to get up for fearing Yun Lintian might aim at him at the moment. He quickly rolled away and pressed his intercom, calling for reinforcement.

"All of you, quickly come to my position!"
