Chapter 299: The Injustice of Heaven?
Zhao Changlin was seriously injured? And Wang Yannian too?! Xiao Feiyu couldn’t believe it as he stared wide-eyed, his breathing growing rapid. He couldn’t believe Su Lin’s power had reached such a terrifying level…
Su Lin watched Xiao Feiyu’s shocked and fearful expression and smirked. “So you don’t need to overestimate yourself. If you have any last words, just say them now. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to speak.”
He toyed with a silver needle in his hand, slowly stepping closer. The subtle aura he exuded made it hard for Xiao Feiyu to breathe.
Xiao Feiyu looked at Su Lin with both hatred and fear. “It’s not fair.”
“Hmm?” Su Lin didn’t quite catch what Xiao Feiyu had just said, “Speak clearly, what’s the point of mumbling?”
Xiao Feiyu looked down and then burst into laughter. His laughter echoed around the empty space, carrying a melancholic tone that pierced everyone’s heart. He looked desperately at the man in front of him, spat into his palm, and saw blood. He was literally made so angry by Su Lin that he was spitting blood.
Once he didn’t know the idiom about the unfortunate coexistence of two talented individuals, but now, he felt like a character out of a book. “The ways of Heaven are unjust.”
Xiao Feiyu stood up trembling, laughing sorrowfully again. “The ways of Heaven are unjust! Why did Heaven bring me here only to be unable to compete against you? Every day I live in danger, never having a moment’s peace since I came to this world!”
“I’m always on tenterhooks, fearing when I might breathe my last.” Tears unexpectedly fell from Xiao Feiyu’s eyes, yet he also laughed.
He couldn’t understand why others who crossed over seemed to have smooth sailing, directly becoming the top of the world. Why did it turn out so differently when it was his turn? Everything was inferior to Su Lin, and he had to live in fear.
Su Lin still listened with a smile as he finished speaking. He continuously fiddled with his silver needle, occasionally causing sparks to fly, making all the silver needles shimmer.
“Isn’t everyone? Do you think I had it easy when I came to this world? I too survived by carefully plotting every step. Otherwise, I would have died somewhere long ago.” Su Lin shrugged and sighed again.
Xiao Feiyu was indeed a rare talent. If possible, Su Lin didn’t want to push things to such extremes. It was just a case of being born at the wrong time. Such a pity.
“You and I can never stand on the same side, so let’s meet in the next life.” Xiao Feiyu’s shoulders trembled, and he then laughed dryly. He looked up at the sky, tears silently falling.
Xiao Feiyu turned to look at Su Lin again, his despair evident. His desolate gaze was no less stark than the barrenness of the world. “Even if I die, I will die by my own hand, not by yours, Su Lin!”
Xiao Feiyu raised his hand to end his own life. At that moment, another swooshing sound came. Su Lin sensed the danger, looked up, and immediately leapt dozens of meters away to land on a hill. The spot he had just been standing exploded into a crater.
A chill ran down Su Lin’s spine. Though he was now a Human Immortal and could withstand such weaponry, he had almost been too slow to react under the surprise attack and nearly met his end there.
What exactly was going on? As he stayed alert, Su Lin also felt fortunate that he had already sent Li Ziyu and Jiang Ruoxi away. If the two women were still here, it would have hindered his actions. Trying to escape with them wouldn’t have been easy.
This kind of weaponry likely belonged to a martial sniper. Su Lin squinted, sensing the surrounding aura. There was no one around. What was happening? Could it be that it wasn’t a martial artist?!
“Who is it? Since you’ve attacked, come out! Don’t hide in the shadows like a coward!” Su Lin called out loudly, but there was no response. He narrowed his eyes. It seemed this was Xiao Feiyu’s backup plan, likely just a performance to divert his attention. He was indeed cunning! Su Lin almost believed it.
Now, with the enemy still unseen, Su Lin dared not make any careless moves, fearing another surprise attack. Xiao Feiyu, meanwhile, looked at the crater that had suddenly exploded on the ground, mouth agape, unable to speak.
“Come out! If you want to fight, let’s have a proper battle! What skill is there in sniping from the shadows?”
Su Lin continued to shout, puzzled as to why the opponent wouldn’t show themselves. “If that’s how it is, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
He sneered coldly at Xiao Feiyu who was still standing dazedly below. “Xiao Feiyu, you really are cunning, keeping such a trick up your sleeve. I almost fell for your heroic talking.”
“Since you’ve chosen to be so despicable and sneaky, I won’t show you any mercy. Prepare to meet your maker!”
Xiao Feiyu stared in shock at the figure on the hill transforming into a streak of golden light flying towards him, immobilized, unsure of how to react.
In the instant Su Lin flew towards him, another cannon shot was fired!
