On the top floor of a skyscraper, a sniper aimed his high-powered scope at the entrance of the izakaya and spoke into the radio by his mouth.
"There's one target left. Judging by the timing, though, they shouldn't wait much longer. Stay alert."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the izakaya's curtain was lifted, and Li Jinglin and the others filed out.
Then an order came through the radio amid crackling static.
"Make the first move and draw their attention."
"Understood!"
With a slight adjustment of his hands, he swiftly locked onto an Elite Reincarnator.
Li Jinglin had some renown in the space. He naturally knew that even his enhanced abilities and bullets could not harm that man, but with a prepared strike against an unsuspecting Elite Reincarnator...
Bang!
The supersonic bullet tore through the air, blasting a distorted trail through the atmosphere.
I could blow up even a tank!
Yet as the image before him twisted, he realized that his attack had struck a roadside fire hydrant instead. A high-pressure jet of water surged more than ten meters into the air, forming an artificial fountain.
The sudden accident sent nearby vehicles into a panic, causing several minor collisions. Pedestrians screamed and scattered as well.
When the sound of the gunshot reached them, it triggered even greater chaos and terror.
The sniper's face turned livid, and he hurriedly roared into the radio.
"They were prepared! That was probably Li Jinglin's illusion array. He set this up beforehand!"
But before his words had even faded, a cold gleam rapidly approached his eyes, making his pupils constrict.
Not good...
Before the thought could dissipate, the cold gleam pierced through his skull, spraying blood behind it...
Three flying swords circled the area, precisely and viciously locking onto enemies hidden among the crowd.
