Less than half a minute had passed, yet everyone in Xiong Bing Lian had swiftly taken up their positions. They stood ready, waiting for Qi Lin to call out the target.
"Zhao Xin, front-left, 150 meters, in that big tree. The moment I fire, charge."
Qi Lin was also searching for Supreme Treasure's position. The sudden moonlight exposed his location, and she hurriedly shouted to Zhao Xin.
Though she was only a sniper, she had a deeper understanding of team coordination.
Bang...
The gunshot shattered the forest's brief silence.
Zhao Xin, having received the order, shot out like lightning. Then, with an "Ah!" he came flying back from ahead.
Supreme Treasure's shadow followed Zhao Xin out.
"Damn it, Cheng Yaowen, be careful! That was a clone!"
Seeing Zhao Xin suddenly sent flying, Qi Lin hurriedly warned everyone.
She had never expected it to be a clone. She had been fooled.
"No... it shouldn't have been a clone. I clearly hit him."
Qi Lin never expected that, at the instant the bullet was about to strike Supreme Treasure, he would use his first skill to leap away and knock the charging Zhao Xin flying with one swing.
And what Qi Lin had hit was merely Supreme Treasure's decoy.
"I've got it!"
Hearing Qi Lin's warning, Cheng Yaowen hurriedly formed several enormous stone hands, intending to use them to lessen the impact.
Bang!
"Ah... why is it me again?!"
A dull metallic impact rang out. Ge Xiaolun, standing to Cheng Yaowen's right, was struck in an instant. Before he could react, Supreme Treasure vaulted over Cheng Yaowen and took him away with a heavy blow, triggering the skill effect as well.
After knocking Ge Xiaolun flying, Supreme Treasure continued using Cheng Yaowen as a springboard. Vaulting over him, he swung down at the more fragile Qiangwei.
"Not good... Qiangwei, Qiangwei, careful, careful! He's coming, he's coming! Yaowen, Yaowen, make rocks, make rocks!"
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Unfortunately, Qi Lin's warning still came too late. Three consecutive sniper shots failed to hit Supreme Treasure. Every shot struck a decoy, every shot missed.
Over on Qiangwei's side, even though she promptly activated a wormhole displacement, Supreme Treasure still hit her, sending her flying with one swing.
If this were a MOBA game, everyone would know that Qiangwei's move was no different from blinking straight into her own grave.
But immediately afterward, Qiangwei's position conveniently provided Supreme Treasure with another springboard.
After leaving behind a decoy, Supreme Treasure performed a leaping strike and charged straight toward Qi Lin and Rui Mengmeng.
He was an agile Monkey King, a sexy Great Sage giving an online lesson.
"Not good, not good! Qi Lin, careful, careful! Xiaolun, are you dead? Hurry, hurry, hurry! Defend, defend! He's coming, he's coming!"
Cheng Yaowen finally understood who Supreme Treasure's target was. But this time, he had gotten smarter, forming seven or eight stone hands in succession to block Supreme Treasure's charge.
He was thinking that this had to be the Great Sage himself, right? He was far too good at jumping. First, he had used the Zhao Xin who had been knocked flying as a springboard to leap over. Cheng Yaowen had thought Supreme Treasure was attacking him, but instead, Supreme Treasure had vaulted right over him and knocked away Ge Xiaolun on his right. Then he jumped back, used Cheng Yaowen as a springboard again, and directly hit Qiangwei behind him.
The battle was about to erupt. Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin hurried back to defend, while Supreme Treasure used the cover of night to crouch in the brush again.
He had plenty of time anyway. He could play with them a little longer.
"Great Sage, we're not enemies!"
Qiangwei, who had only just recovered from that blow, shouted into the darkness.
"Huh, why do I feel like I've said that before?!"
They had lost sight of Supreme Treasure. She felt that since she was calling Sun Wukong by name, she might as well just call him the Great Sage.
After all, there was another Sun Wukong here!
And now, she only wanted to stall for time so Qi Lin could regain sight of Supreme Treasure.
Otherwise, with the enemy hidden in the dark and them exposed in the open, they could only take a beating without any room to fight back.
"Ah... over here, I'm over here..."
Supreme Treasure ignored Qiangwei's voice. With several flashes, he arrived beside Liu Chuang, then swung again, knocking Liu Chuang flying. His Golden Cudgel then grew larger and longer, and with one wide sweep, he took out Cheng Yaowen and Zhao Xin at the front in succession.
"Great Sage, if you've got the guts, fight me one-on-one! I want to duel you!"
Ge Xiaolun had no idea where he found the courage. He sank his breath into his abdomen and shouted loudly.
His move made Zhao Xin, who had just climbed back up, give him a thumbs-up.
"Whew, time to loosen up."
"One swing of the cudgel—wow, it's so much quieter now!"
Once Supreme Treasure saw Ge Xiaolun reveal his position, he leaped over and brought his cudgel down.
Bang, ahhh, missed again.
Another gunshot rang out, and sniper Qi Lin missed once more. After missing several times, she was beginning to doubt herself. Every bullet passed through that infuriating body; every time, it was only a decoy afterimage.
After knocking Ge Xiaolun flying, Supreme Treasure's Golden Cudgel instantly extended. Qi Lin, perched in a nearby tree, had no time to react before she was struck and sent flying.
Then his target changed to Qiangwei, and he charged toward her at high speed.
He wanted to see whether this teleporting Qiangwei could withstand his ultimate move.
"Xiaolun, Xiaolun, hurry, hurry, hurry! His target is Qiangwei! Defend her, go!"
"What... Silence!"
Seeing Qiangwei about to be struck by Supreme Treasure, Ge Xiaolun shouted those two words in desperation. The moment he did, Supreme Treasure, who had been moving at high speed, fell in response.
As Supreme Treasure fell, a gunshot rang out as well.
"This is the real body, not a decoy!!!"
Ge Xiaolun was completely dumbfounded. He had never expected to possess such an ability. Though after shouting it, his head did feel a little dizzy.
"Holy shit, Xiaolun, that was awesome! Is that reality-warping speech? It even has a stun effect."
Seeing this, Zhao Xin gave Ge Xiaolun a thumbs-up. He had never expected Ge Xiaolun to have a day like this. That skill was incredible. He wanted it too.
"I... I don't know either. I saw him trying to hit Qiangwei, and I got anxious, then... then, uh, I just shouted it without thinking. I didn't expect it to interfere with the Great Sage."
Ge Xiaolun scratched his head and said awkwardly.
He really had been anxious then. He could not rush over, but he could not just watch Qiangwei take a beating either.
A few two-and-a-half seconds later, Supreme Treasure shook his head and climbed back up.
Qi Lin had already aimed at Supreme Treasure. Seeing him move, she hurriedly fired another shot, while Supreme Treasure made an emergency dodge.
But Qiangwei would not give Supreme Treasure an opportunity. Qi Lin fired twice in succession. One shot hit a decoy, while the other, with Qiangwei's cooperation, successfully struck the real body.
Seeing that the distance was about right, Supreme Treasure leaped up, used Qiangwei as a springboard, and charged straight at Qi Lin.
"Silence... Cough, cough, cough..."
Thud!!!
Affected by Ge Xiaolun's reality-warping speech, Supreme Treasure crashed to the ground again, and Qi Lin took the chance to fire another shot.
After several exchanges, Ge Xiaolun could not take it anymore. Coughing, he said, "Cough, cough, cough, I can't do it anymore. I can't."
He felt completely drained, but they had already found a way to defeat Sun Wukong, so it had been quite a gain.
Seeing Supreme Treasure lying motionless on the ground, he cautiously asked, "Qiangwei, we didn't kill the Great Sage, did we?!"
"Qi Lin, were you using God-Slaying No. 1 Bullets?"
Hearing Ge Xiaolun's question, Qiangwei was completely stunned. The Supreme Treasure in front of them had taken at least five or six shots.
They had hit his body rather than his head, but what if one had struck his heart?
God-Slaying No. 1 Bullets were not ordinary firearm ammunition.
"Yeah. I brought ten rounds. I used them all."
"What? It's over, it's over. We killed the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!"
Hearing Qi Lin say that, Zhao Xin's legs nearly gave out.
"Pah, have some shame. You want to kill me? Keep dreaming."
The sudden voice gave everyone a huge fright.
Then Supreme Treasure and Sun Wukong jumped down from a large tree. Supreme Treasure said to Sun Wukong, "See? I told you so. You lost. Ten peaches."
"I lost..."
