On a hill, the sniper who had a different uniform than the field members of AST is currently training his scope on his target in a very good sniping spot.
When he saw how easily Wu Yan dodged his bullet he's surprised. He is even more shocked when Wu Yan noticed his hiding spot.
"s.h.i.+t!"
Wu Yan is smiling back at him through the scope. The sniper gasped and he felt anxious. He is about 500 meters away from his target yet the target tracked him accurately and within a second after he missed the shot.
The sniper calmed down. He's a trained soldier, this much is nothing. If he panicked then he would smear the reputation of all snipers.
He contacted operation control.
"Point A, objective failed!"
Other snipers responded.
"Point B, target locked!"
"Point C, target locked!"
"Point D, awaiting instructions!"
Their squad leader gave them the permission to go ahead.
"Point A, B, C, and D, fire at will!"
The snipers replied.
"Hmm?"
Wu Yan could sense the snipers aiming him from far away. He relaxed his raised eyebrow. Licking his lips, he considered his options.
"The snipers are widely dispersed, this is problematic…"
He didn't look troubled though. He scanned the four locations where the snipers were at and he grinned.
"Let's do this…"
The four snipers saw him grinning at them and they pulled their triggers at the same time. Four bullets came at him from four different directions that made dodging nigh impossible.
The snipers are confident that not even a spirit can dodge the bullets. Maybe the snipers are right that this barrage can't be dodged. But, whoever said he can only dodge?
Pwoosh
The bullets melted away without even touching their targets, crimson flames sprouted around the target like a great wall of fire that s.h.i.+elded its master from harm.
