Ballistics Are the Dao, Marksmanship Is the Law!

Qi Lin's expression turned grave when she heard the voice through the communicator.

Qi Lin put down her unfinished bowl of mala tang and said, "Xu Yi, leave this place quickly. There's something dangerous ahead."

"No." Xu Yi shook his head.

"Don't be willful. This isn't the time for jokes," Qi Lin said.

"Oh." Xu Yi nodded, but showed no intention of leaving.

"..." Qi Lin.

Soon after, Qi Lin headed for the Third Street mentioned over the communicator, with Xu Yi following behind her.

He naturally knew what had happened. The Taotie vanguard scouts had appeared after all.

He clearly remembered that a single sword qi had wiped out the Taotie near the wormhole at the edge of the Chiwu Star System. Yet Taotie had still appeared now. Sure enough, the power of fate was full of mysticism.

In truth, Xu Yi's sword had indeed wiped out the Taotie in the Chiwu Star System, but only a portion of them. There was still a Taotie legion on the other side of the wormhole.

Moreover, after that Taotie legion had been destroyed by an unknown force, the Taotie that had originally planned to attack Tianhe City directly chose to infiltrate secretly, investigate the situation, and eliminate ordinary people who carried Super Genes along the way.

Before long, the two arrived at Third Street. The place was already in chaos.

Gundam-like Taotie were wreaking havoc everywhere. Human weapons and tanks were as fragile as paper before them.

"Heavens, where did these monsters come from?" Qi Lin asked in shock.

When the Taotie's lasers hit ordinary people, they instantly turned into ashes and vanished.

"Aliens," Xu Yi explained.

"Aliens look like this?" Qi Lin took a deep breath and prepared to join the rescue effort.

However, compared to ordinary people, humans carrying Super Genes were more valuable targets.

Most of the ordinary people who died had merely been caught in the crossfire. The Taotie were not firing wildly or slaughtering people at will; they were scanning for Super Gene carriers.

Even so, many people still died.

"It seems there are quite a lot of humans carrying De Nuo Genes among ordinary people now. Juxia City is also the main base of the Deno Descendants. No wonder they attacked here," Xu Yi thought.

Du Kao and the other alien forces had come to Earth Star thousands of years ago. Naturally, they could not truly have come here merely to rest and recuperate.

This was a planet similar to Deno, and it was undoubtedly capable of continuing Deno's legacy.

As for whether they had intended to claim Earth for themselves, perhaps they had entertained such thoughts.

But because Sun Wukong existed, it was difficult for a series of plans to be carried out.

Besides, Deno was merely a group of God River lifeforms with Super Genes, not gods. They did not possess particularly strong combat power and had originally been a pack of homeless dogs.

If they truly fought the natives of Earth, they might end up losing more than they gained and wipe themselves out.

Xu Yi had no interest in such conspiracies. If the Deno Descendants died, then they died. People died unexpectedly every day anyway; there was no need to lament it.

Qi Lin prepared to help and raised her service pistol.

But the Gundam Taotie detected the God River Sniper Gene within Qi Lin first. It walked toward her and fired a laser in her direction.

The laser was extremely fast, tearing through the air. Ordinary humans would not even have time to react.

Yet in Qi Lin's eyes, for one brief instant, the beam in the air seemed to pause, moving as slowly as a turtle.

Almost instinctively, she rolled aside and dodged it.

"Looks like that hotpot wasn't for nothing." Xu Yi smiled faintly.

That hotpot had contained the essence of the Big Black Immortal Dog. Although he had processed it, ordinary people who ate it could still strengthen their physiques and increase their potential. It was even possible for them to develop some kind of Superpower.

In Xu Yi's eyes, Qi Lin's physical fitness had already improved by a great deal compared to before.

It was just that Qi Lin herself had not realized it yet. Now, under this crisis, her potential had been stimulated, and everything fell into place naturally.

Qi Lin was incredibly excited at that moment. The feeling just now had been wondrous, impossible to describe.

It was like an adrenaline rush, yet also like lightning flashing through her mind, like the birth of the Universe...

At that moment, the three- to four-meter-tall Taotie approached Qi Lin. Its metal arm turned into liquid and condensed into an Alloy Broadsword, which it swung down at her.

"Master Qi, try hitting its centerline!" Xu Yi reminded her from the side.

"?"

Qi Lin was not some fragile little girl. As an outstanding police officer, her fighting skills were highly refined.

The moment she heard him, she understood what Xu Yi meant. She immediately focused, charged forward, and punched the Taotie in the chest at even greater speed.

Bang! In an instant, the Gundam Taotie's chest caved in, and sparks flickered across the surface of its body.

Qi Lin had not expected her strength to have become so great. She then twisted aside like an agile monkey, turned her palm into a blade, and chopped at the Taotie's joint, severing one of its arms.

"?" The Gundam Taotie. "Die!"

Having succeeded with one strike, Qi Lin realized that she was terrifyingly strong at that moment. She attacked the Taotie's joints one after another, tore off both its legs, then finally punched toward its heart, ripped it out, and crushed it beneath her foot.

After doing all that, Qi Lin slowly calmed down and looked at her hands in disbelief.

The police officers nearby who were evacuating civilians were dumbfounded, swallowing hard.

Tearing apart a Gundam with bare hands—wasn't that something only seen in movies?

This policewoman looked delicate, but she was unexpectedly so fierce.

"Xu Yi, I..." Qi Lin hesitated, not knowing what had happened to her.

"It's fine. Just kill a few more." Xu Yi smiled.

Sure enough, after their teammate was destroyed, three more Taotie gathered nearby. But they were wary of Qi Lin's combat skills and did not dare engage her in close quarters.

Instead, they fired lasers from dozens of meters away.

Relying on her unique senses and extraordinary agility, Qi Lin kept dodging and perfectly evaded every beam.

She wanted to fight them at close range, but she was quickly forced back by the Taotie's concentrated fire, unable to advance or retreat.

Through such combat, Qi Lin had already adapted to the rhythm of her body.

"Qi Lin, your talent is sniping. You need to make use of your strengths," Xu Yi reminded her.

"I know, but my bullets can't penetrate their defenses at all," Qi Lin replied.

"Come over here," Xu Yi said.

Qi Lin did not hesitate and immediately moved closer.

For some reason, even in this situation, Xu Yi clearly had done nothing, yet he gave her a powerful sense of trust and safety.

"Raise your arm and hold the pistol," Xu Yi said.

Qi Lin did as instructed. Xu Yi reached out and held her hand, placing his finger over the trigger as he said, "Fire!"

Qi Lin slowly pulled the trigger. In that instant, she felt a violent gale rise around her, while an indescribable force gathered in her hand and along the barrel...

A Golden Flash appeared at the dark muzzle. It contained terrifying energy and kept compressing.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

As the trigger was pulled, the Golden Flash pierced the Sky Dome, drawing a beautiful arc across the night sky.

The Taotie were instantly blasted into fireworks and all fell.

Qi Lin stared blankly. Would anyone believe that an ordinary pistol could fire golden beams with more power than bombs and cannons?

"How did you do that?" Qi Lin asked.

"This is the power of cultivation—the Great Dao Power," Xu Yi said solemnly.

"Cultivation? Great Dao? Can you speak properly?" Qi Lin said irritably. He was still being unserious at a time like this.

"Marksmanship is also a law, and ballistics are also the Dao! The Dao exists in our daily lives," Xu Yi explained.

"Uh... all right!"

Qi Lin wanted to refute him, but she realized that science could no longer explain what was happening before her.

She suddenly pulled her hand back after realizing that Xu Yi had been holding it the entire time. No wonder it had felt so warm.

In the distance, a military truck drove over. Di Lena and Qiang Wei stepped down from it.

"Girl, you've got some skills." Di Lena looked at Qi Lin with bright eyes.

Juxia City had come under attack, so they had come to provide support. They had seen the live broadcast on the way over.

"Aren't you that lunatic who calls herself the Sun Goddess?" Qi Lin asked.

"I'm a goddess, not a lunatic," Di Lena said.

"Thank you for saving the civilians." Qiang Wei looked at Xu Yi.

"Don't thank me. It was Qi Lin's doing," Xu Yi said.

"I'm a police officer. It's my duty. There's no need to thank me," Qi Lin said seriously.

"You all carry on. I'm leaving." Xu Yi waved.

Qi Lin wanted to leave too, but she was a police officer and had to cooperate in handling what came next.

"Little sister Qi Lin, did that guy give you some kind of cheat? You weren't this brave the last time we met."

As soon as Xu Yi left, Di Lena hooked an arm around Qi Lin's shoulders, her face full of gossip.

"What cheat? I don't understand what you're talking about," Qi Lin replied.

"If he didn't give you a cheat, could you tear apart a Gundam Taotie with your bare hands? Besides, your Super Gene hasn't even awakened yet. I can tell that much," Di Lena said confidently.
