"No, this sniper is far too terrifying. This shooting ability is simply beyond what a normal human could possess. How is his ability to lock onto a target's aura so strong?"
The Sea Blue Star General felt ice-cold all over.
He did not feel the slightest pain over the deaths of the Level 3 soldiers.
But Level 4 soldiers were each an important combat resource for the Sea Blue Star People.
Losing even one made his heart ache terribly!
"The opponent's Energy Shield is running out of energy! Hurry and smash that damn Energy Shield! I want to kill this sniper with my own hands!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he stared murderously toward the ship's protective shield.
It was as if he were about to see through the ship's protective shield and lay eyes on the formidable sniper inside.
As the Sea Blue Star People attacked, the energy remaining in the Energy Shield began to plummet.
20%
"Hum! Hum!"
Two shots rang out, instantly claiming the life of another Level 4 Gene Warrior.
15%
"Hum! Hum!"
10%
"Hum! Hum!"
The Energy Shield's energy plummeted, while four Level 4 Gene Warriors of the Sea Blue Star People had also died at Su Ming's hands.
Su Ming tightened his grip on the Sniper Rifle. His gaze was exceptionally calm, but he had quietly made up his mind.
He crouched inside the ship, maintaining his firing posture as he stood motionless at the front of the ship.
5%!
The Energy Shield's energy had already fallen to 5%!
But this time, Su Ming did not pull the trigger. Instead, he sent his aura... locking onto that Level 5 Gene Warrior!
The Sea Blue Star General seemed to sense Su Ming's aura locking onto him. He slightly furrowed his brows, and a hint of ridicule appeared in his eyes.
He wanted to attack him? The opposing sniper was really getting cocky. Did he think that killing several Level 4 Gene Warriors meant he could actually launch an attack against a Level 5 warrior?
How naive!
If someone had been standing beside him at that moment, they would certainly have noticed that the Sea Blue Star General's body was making tiny swaying movements.
The movements were almost impossible to detect.
But... it was precisely through these tiny sways that he effortlessly evaded the aura Su Ming was trying to lock onto him with.
His body seemed to be swaying, yet at the next moment, he could dodge in any direction at any time. This made locking onto him with the Sniper Rifle exceptionally difficult!
At that moment, Su Ming remained utterly still, but it was clear to see... a layer of sweat was slowly forming on his forehead.
At that moment, he was exerting his mental strength to the limit.
There was no helping it. The gap between their Brain Domain Levels was simply too great.
Even after Su Ming unleashed his entire Brain Domain Level, it was still extremely difficult to lock onto the other man's aura.
Failing to lock on meant that if he fired, the other man would definitely dodge.
If he could not even hit him, how could he possibly injure him?
However... Su Ming showed no sign of giving up.
Sixteen years of training had made him understand perfectly that the contest between locking on and evading a lock was not merely a contest between energy levels. It was also a contest of endurance, calculation, and psychology.
There could be no result before the final moment!
He continued striving, trying every possible method to lock onto this Level 5 Gene Warrior.
Just then, an alarm sounded from within the Energy Shield.
Only 3% remained!
2%!
1%!
The alarms rang out one after another, like the approach of the Grim Reaper's footsteps, filling everyone with suffocating tension.
The mercenaries around them instinctively tightened their grips on their weapons and stared gravely at the Energy Shield.
Only Su Ming... still maintained the exact same posture, like a stone statue, without the slightest change.
At that moment, he felt as if he had entered the state he usually reached while dismantling and assembling mechanical equipment.
Focused, steady, with his mind free of distractions!
The accumulation of the past would eventually erupt one day.
And today was that day!
Su Ming himself did not realize that, at that moment, his Brain Domain Level had begun to surge wildly during his confrontation with the Level 5 Gene Warrior, instantly rising to an unbelievable degree.
"Beep... Energy Shield energy depleted..."
Just then, an alarm sounded from the Energy Shield. In the next instant, the Energy Shield shattered outright!
At that very moment, Su Ming abruptly widened his eyes, and an intense gleam burst from them!
Now!
The instant the Energy Shield shattered, the Level 5 member of the Sea Blue Star People experienced a momentary shift in his state of mind.
It was this tiny change that allowed Su Ming to successfully lock onto him!
"Beep... 100 Starlight Points consumed... Starlight conversion successful..."
A vast amount of starlight surged into the Sniper Rifle in Su Ming's hands, causing it to erupt with dazzling radiance.
The light illuminated the entire battlefield, startling everyone.
The next moment...
"Hum!"
Once again, a deep sound rang out.
But this time, everyone felt that the gunshot had sounded within their very souls.
Merely hearing the sound made their scalps tingle and their souls tremble!
The Sea Blue Star General felt an exceptionally terrifying aura surging toward him from all directions.
An utterly unyielding force of aura firmly locked onto him.
No matter how he dodged, this shot would strike him.
"How is this possible?"
His pupils abruptly contracted.
At that moment, a fear originating from the depths of his soul suddenly swept through his mind.
In the next instant, the Sea Blue Star General saw starlight blaze before his eyes. It was like a sea of stars, swallowing him whole.
After the starlight passed... darkness filled his vision, and his mind could no longer form a single thought...
"Boom!"
A terrifying explosion resounded throughout the entire industrial district. Even those several kilometers away could feel intense vibrations coming from somewhere in the distance.
When the deafening blast ended... the Level 5 Gene Warrior of the Sea Blue Star People had been reduced to ashes by that single strike, dead beyond any doubt!
After sensing the Level 5 Gene Warrior's aura vanish into the starlight, Su Ming finally relaxed. But then, he felt terrifying pain radiating from every corner of his body.
The Starlight Points he had just exchanged from the system had long since exceeded the amount his body could withstand.
Such enormous energy had nearly torn Su Ming's body to shreds.
Su Ming gradually felt his head grow dizzy and his body become top-heavy and unsteady.
Using the last of his strength, Su Ming spoke to the system in his mind: "System... use the remaining Starlight Points to restore my vital organs..."
"Beep... Remaining Starlight Points... 12... Beep... Restoring damaged internal organs..."
Upon hearing the system's voice, Su Ming finally relaxed. Then his vision went black, and he toppled forward at the front of the ship.
"Hurry! Mr. Monte, take Su Ming to the hospital for treatment first. We'll escort you out!"
"His entire body has been cracked apart by energy exceeding what his physique can withstand. He's injured everywhere, so be careful with your movements! Even using a little too much force could kill him!"
"Stop wasting time! The enemy commander is dead. We're taking Little Master Su Ming and breaking out of the battlefield!"
When they saw Su Ming collapse, all the mercenaries were instantly horrified. Like madmen, they escorted Su Ming toward the outside and fought their way out...
