Chapter 1696 - 1697: Hidden Landmines
Amidst the woeful cries, Fan Yi's Essence Qi exploded like a volcano within the family member's body, sending flesh and blood flying.
The other family members were greatly startled.
However, before they could react, Fan Yi landed and withdrew his Little Knife.
A cold gleam flickered in his hand, trailing a long arc of light that vanished in an instant.
The four family members maintained their original posture, suddenly frozen with a look of astonishment on their faces.
Fan Yi stood among them, holding his knife, and coldly regarded the four.
Slowly, one of them tilted his body and fell down.
A small wound appeared on his throat.
That wound gradually expanded, and immediately with a puff, a cascade of blood gushed forth like a flowing spring.
At the same time, the others also had wounds appear on their throats like this Martial Artist.
Their throat wounds gradually widened, eventually spraying out a large amount of blood as they fell dead.
Fan Yi put away the blood-stained Little Knife, his figure flickered and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Yang Fei held the Barrett Heavy Sniper, facing off against the head of the Asou family and the other three Martial Arts Masters.
No one wanted to make a move; whoever acted first would expose themselves and surely face the opponent's attack.
Yang Fei was indifferent, as long as he occupied these four masters, he trusted the Evil Dragon Brothers to handle the others.
Once everyone else was dealt with, they could besiege these four masters, and it would be a piece of cake.
Overwhelming the few with many was Yang Fei and his group of ruffians' favorite tactic.
On the other side, the head of the Asou family listened to the dying screams of his family members, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken, as if bleeding.
These family members were elite talents personally nurtured by the head of the Asou family; they represented the future of the Asou family.
If this group perished here, the head of the Asou family would not be able to answer to his family.
Thinking of this, the head of the Asou family stuck his head out and glanced in the direction where Yang Fei was lurking.
In the palm grove, there was absolute silence with no sound.
The head of the Asou family gritted his teeth, made a gesture to the three masters, and quietly crept towards Yang Fei's position.
The head of the Asou family's plan was simple: combining the strength of the three masters to kill the guy in front of them.
Then, the four masters would support the other teams, and there would still be hope for victory in this battle.
However, little did he know, Yang Fei had already activated Snake Stupefaction.
He could hear all the movements within a one-kilometer radius.
The head of the Asou family thought his actions were secretive, but how could he deceive Yang Fei's senses?
Yang Fei listened to the three masters and the head of the Asou family approaching him, a cold smile forming in his heart.
"Since you want to play, I'll give you a grand gift."
The head of the Asou family and the other three martial arts masters surrounded the area where Yang Fei was lurking.
Everyone's nerves were tightly wound, as they faced a Super Sniper.
Such a person must not be allowed to have an opportunity to strike.
Otherwise, no one can guarantee they could escape his Soul Chasing and Life Snatching bullets.
The target area was silent, and there was no one there, puzzling the head of the Asou family.
He waved his hand, signaling the others to halt, while he restrained his aura and cautiously approached the target.
After a while, the three masters worried for the head's safety, also stealthily followed along, keeping within ten meters.
At that moment, the head of the Asou family's left foot suddenly sank in.
In his ear, the sharp sound of a metal firing pin echoed.
The head of the Asou family was horrified and glanced down, discovering the metal outline of a coil beneath, causing him to feel soul-shattered.
A landmine!
The head of the Asou family shouted as he lunged forward with all his strength.
Landmines aren't a joke; when they explode, the hundreds of steel balls inside are instantly launched, with strong penetration power.
No matter how skilled a Martial Arts Master is, they can't escape this peril.
The direction the head of the Asou family lunged in was towards nine o'clock.
Only the nine o'clock direction was flat, avoiding collision with palm trees.
However, just as he was airborne, he shockingly discovered that the ground at nine o'clock had risen, forming two mounds.
"Not good, there's a landmine at nine o'clock too."
In almost an instant, the head of the Asou family realized this.
The enemy must have anticipated that after discovering the landmine, he would evade it in this direction.
That's why they first set such a sinister hidden landmine here.
The experienced head of the Asou family could even immediately judge that the two landmines at nine o'clock were scatter mines.
If one is triggered, the other is sure to explode, extremely insidious.
The heart of the head of the Asou family nearly leaped from his throat.
In this critical moment, he desperately kicked a palm tree beside him.
Borrowing the force, the head of the Asou family rolled in mid-air, finally changing direction, heading for ten o'clock.
This was also due to the head of the Asou family's powerful Essence Qi, enabling him to overcome inertia; had it been someone weaker, they would certainly have met their end.
Bang!
The body of the head of the Asou family landed heavily among the fallen branches and withered leaves.
He took a deep breath, filled with lingering fear.
However, oddly, the landmine at the spot he fled from didn't explode.
He turned back and looked at the landmine's location, hesitantly scratching his head.
A fake landmine?
Ding!
Just then, beneath him came the crisp sound of a metal firing pin hitting.
The head of the Asou family's heart sank, followed by a complete body tremor.
He never dreamed that, despite careful calculations and temporarily altering his evasion, he still stumbled upon a landmine.
In this life-or-death moment, the head of the Asou family couldn't help but glance again at the nine o'clock direction, where the landmine was buried.
The two mounds at nine o'clock still existed.
Yet, the head of the Asou family unexpectedly discovered that there was no landmine at nine o'clock, just an arch made from branches.
Too unscrupulous, too despicable!
The head of the Asou family bowed his head deeply, the person who planted the landmines was a master.
He had calculated his escape angle and direction precisely, even his secondary direction change was within their calculations.
Facing such an enemy, aside from resigning to his fate, what else could the head of the Asou family do?
Then, unexpectedly, the landmine beneath the head of the Asou family didn't explode.
Looking puzzled, he examined the landmine beneath him, pondering silently.
The three disciples concerned for the head's safety rushed over, surrounding him.
"Head, are you alright?"
The head of the Asou family didn't answer, waved them off, staying immobile, continuing to observe the landmine below.
Soon, the head of the Asou family was startled to discover the landmine was modified, connected to a simple timer.
The time on the timer slipped away, second by second.
It was a timed landmine!
The fourth segment is coming soon.
