Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The snipers hidden throughout Great Xia fired first, directly using black-gold God-Slaying Bullets.

Lin Xiao's outbreak had come too suddenly. Even Sno had not expected Lin Xiao to start a battle without hesitation.

The heads of four Taotie soldiers standing on aircraft exploded. They were not super soldiers, and the armor on their bodies could not withstand black-gold God-Slaying Bullets.

"Spread out! God-Slaying Squad, move out and find the snipers."

The Taotie commander responded immediately. Their first target was the War God Squad's four snipers.

"Split into four teams and protect the snipers from the enemy."

Lian Feng had already drilled Crow countless times on the methods of future warfare. Snipers would become the absolute backbone of a squad.

Once a sniper's position was exposed, the squad should immediately stand in front of them and block any advancing enemies.

The War God Squad split into four five-man teams, and everyone had a clear role.

Two people would remain around the sniper at all times. If necessary, they would sacrifice themselves to protect the sniper.

The other two would serve as the squad's assault troops, charging forward to scatter the enemy formation and eliminate enemy snipers.

Crow, Water Chicken, and six others immediately drew their combat knives and charged at the enemy. The snipers in their squad would help them take down the enemies closing in to surround them.

The newest tactics produced astonishing results. The Taotie had no way to employ this kind of super-soldier combat method.

Although beast bodies far surpassed ordinary God River Bodies, they could not compare with true super soldiers. Group combat was their preferred method of warfare.

The Taotie force of more than a hundred soldiers was thrown into complete disarray by the War God Squad, especially after their commander gave the order to spread out.

Whenever a Taotie soldier faced a War God Squad assault trooper alone, they were either taken out by a sniper's bullet or beheaded with a single slash!

"What are our snipers doing? Shoot them down!"

The Taotie commander roared furiously in midair. Unfortunately, Lin Xiao's Flight Wing was extremely powerful. The assault troops moved rapidly through the air, making them difficult to lock onto.

Furthermore, once their snipers exposed their positions, they would face concentrated fire, so they did not dare shoot carelessly.

Of course, the battle was not completely one-sided. The Taotie snipers occasionally managed to hit War God Squad soldiers, and the sniper rifles they had brought this time were extremely powerful.

The soldiers who were hit would be injured, but as long as the wounds were not fatal, powerful recovery agents could quickly heal them.

So far, the Taotie artillerymen had instead become the biggest headache for the War God Squad. The energy shells they fired were incredibly powerful.

The explosions from those shells could blast them far away, and the violent shockwaves put enormous strain on their bodies.

Overall, the more than one hundred Taotie soldiers had gained little advantage against the War God Squad.

The battles in the other two locations were the key to this fight. The Taotie's Death Warrior Mecha was extremely powerful.

Aside from slashing the Death Warrior once at the start, every subsequent attack from Lian Feng had been blocked by the opponent's Flame-Class Weapon. Its combat experience was simply too extensive.

Lian Feng was not a professional combatant, and she could not fully bring out the Lieyang Mecha's performance. For the moment, the two mechas were evenly matched.

Lin Xiao was also observing each battlefield. Lian Feng's blue-gold short blade could easily break through the Death Warrior's defenses. As long as she found an opening, she would definitely win.

"Sno, it seems you really look down on me."

Lin Xiao and Sno were locked in a standoff, neither of them making the first move.

Lin Xiao was quite displeased by Sno's contemptuous posture, standing there with his hands tucked into his pockets.

"Heh. I was looking at your weapon. I've never seen this kind of metal before. It possesses powerful God-Slaying force, and even my divine body gave me a warning of danger. I'm very curious—where did you get it? The De Nuo Civilization only makes those functional weapons."

Sno spoke unhurriedly and did not take Lin Xiao seriously. He was not even a super soldier. With only a mecha and a God-Slaying Weapon, at most he was no stronger than a Death Warrior.

"Hmph. You'll pay for looking down on me! Qi Lin, use the blue-gold God-Slaying Bullets directly!"

Bang!

The moment Lin Xiao finished speaking, Qi Lin fired. A streak of blue light tore through the air at an extreme speed.

Sno only had time to shift his body slightly before the light struck him.

Pfft!

The sound of the bullet entering flesh was incredibly clear. Qi Lin had not aimed for his smaller target, his head, but had chosen the safer target of his chest.

Facing a true god, Qi Lin still lacked a little confidence. She prioritized certainty.

Qi Lin's judgment and choice had both been correct. Sno's reaction could not have been faster.

His evasive movement made the bullet strike only his shoulder. If it had been an ordinary sniper rifle, he would have dodged it.

Sno had been shot in the shoulder, black blood streaming down his arm. As an undead body, he felt no pain, but his face was filled with disbelief.

He had a divine body, and a special undead body at that. Yet this shot had pierced through it, and the God-Slaying force within it was destroying his genes.

"Weak ants, I'll let you witness the strength and terror of a god! Use your humble lives to please my greatest god!"

After the disbelief came overwhelming fury. Sno intended to display the power of a god and kill these ants amid their terror.

Soul of Sorrow!

Thick black mist surged across Sno's body, and twisted souls flew out one after another.

The soul forms let out mournful, resentful wails as they danced through the air. Their cries spread outward like ripples.

"Can this thing affect the mind?"

An inexplicable grief welled up within Lin Xiao. He could even feel it while his emotions were suppressed.

Eye of Perception, scan.

Lin Xiao transferred the information he had gathered to Little Light for analysis. The amount of data was terrifying, and his brain could not process it.

"Grieve, suffer, and then sink into despair!"

Sno stood where he was and began controlling the Soul of Sorrow as it approached Lin Xiao, intending to make him completely sink into the sorrow in his heart.

"Sink into despair my ass! Qi Lin, stop conserving bullets and fire!"

Sno's ability was extremely powerful. He could control other people's emotions, and even if they did not fall into despair, their actions would still be affected.

But he had encountered Lin Xiao. The sorrowful emotions could not break through his emotional suppression and were quickly suppressed.

The Flight Wing of the Xia Lan Mecha spewed out long trails of particle flames, propelling its body into a streak of blue light.

Under Sno's astonished gaze, Lin Xiao thrust straight at him.

Wall of Resentful Spirits!

Countless resentful souls appeared around Sno once again, forming a transparent wall that enclosed him. It was somewhat similar to the shield Lin Xiao had shattered earlier.

The wall appeared too suddenly. Lin Xiao had no time to stop his charge and could only plunge headfirst into it.

Pfft!

The blue-gold longsword pierced into it as if it had stabbed into jelly. Countless arms on the wall continuously tugged at Lin Xiao, preventing him from breaking free.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three blue-gold God-Slaying Bullets tore through the air, severing the three arms clutching Lin Xiao.

The three bullets ultimately collided with one another. One of them curved around the wall at an unbelievable angle and shot toward the completely unprepared Sno.

Pfft!

Sno's chest was pierced by the blue-gold God-Slaying Bullet, and his body was blasted backward.

"How is that possible?"

Sno's face was full of disbelief. He did not even care about the blood spilling from his chest.

"Qi Lin is incredible. She can even pull off geometric shots!"

Lin Xiao, who had just broken free, was also shocked. Qi Lin's talent and super genes had elevated her sniping to a terrifying level.

"Perfect chance, Plasma Ray!"

A blazing ray shot toward Sno as he flew backward. In the blink of an eye, it was already upon him.

Wall of Resentful Spirits!

Another wall formed from condensed souls surged up around Sno. The souls on it rushed toward the ray one after another, opening their twisted mouths as if trying to swallow the light.

The Plasma Ray's temperature was too high. The twisted souls melted into nothingness, and the two sides began wearing each other down.

In the end, Lin Xiao's energy was exhausted first, and the ray stopped. Frowning, Lin Xiao replaced the reactor with a new one.

"Little Light, how are the analysis results?"

"Doctor, more data can speed up the analysis!"

Little Light's answer made Lin Xiao frown. The technological gap was still so enormous. Sno was merely Carl's subordinate; one could only imagine how advanced Carl's technology was.

"Qi Lin, don't conserve bullets. Do everything you can to hold him back and buy me time!"

Lin Xiao rapidly retreated, widening the distance between himself and Sno as the Eye of Perception activated at full power.

A massive stream of data was transmitted to Little Light. The analysis speed increased, and the progress bar on the screen leaped forward by a large amount.

In the Super God world, physical power was sometimes indeed highly effective.

But when facing powerful technology, if one lacked the matching strength to counter it, then one could only find a way to crack it.

The Plasma Ray's energy limitations made it seem somewhat powerless against this god-level technology.
