Bang!
The gunshot suddenly rang out.
A piece of the rooftop cracked at the man's feet, and as a small piece of gravel flew up, it grazed his calf, causing him a sharp pain!
The man immediately understood what had happened. Without any hesitation, he raised his gun and sprinted towards the side.
Bang, bang, bang…
Bai Ye fired continuously, but all the shots hit the rooftop, failing to hit the man.
Soon, he reached the edge of the rooftop and leaped off.
There was a huge billboard at the edge of the building, so there were metal support brackets underneath. After falling, the man landed directly on the brackets.
The man glanced at his bleeding calf, quickly tore his pants, and bandaged it. He cursed inwardly, unable to comprehend how Bai Ye had escaped the clock tower.
How did he escape?
Bai Ye grinned. Of course, he jumped!
He had thrown the beast-taming ball down from the building and had Goodra act as a cushion below.
Goodra was a beast with astonishing defensive capabilities. Besides its juicy mucus, it had a very thick layer of fat, which gave it formidable resistance to impact. It was no problem for it to buffer the force of Bai Ye jumping from the building.
Bai Ye’s landing spot was the back of the clock tower, a place the opponent couldn't see. He then circled around and climbed onto the current building to regain the initiative.
Unfortunately, the building the opponent chose was covered with all sorts of billboards on all four sides, and it also had many solar panels installed. There were too many obstructions, so Bai Ye couldn't find a good angle. The only angle he could use to see the opponent’s legs was through the gaps in the billboard supports, making it difficult to hit. As expected, the shot was slightly off.
Bai Ye thought as he shouldered the Reaper's Strike and walked towards the side.
If the opponent didn't flee, they would definitely use the surrounding billboards to find a sniping position. The most concealed position that could see his location was… xxs1
"Found it!"
Bai Ye grinned, quickly set up his sniper rifle again by the wall, and then…
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…"
Fatal Camouflage: When you maintain a consistent posture for 9 seconds, you will enter a camouflage state, and your body will blend with the surrounding environment.
A strange luster appeared on Bai Ye's body, causing him and the sniper rifle to completely blend into the environment.
On the other side, the man endured the pain in his leg, grabbed the billboard's support bracket, climbed up, and jumped onto the outdoor unit of an air conditioner. Using the air conditioner's outdoor unit, he quickly moved to the other side of the building. After lying on a billboard, the man poked his head out from behind the billboard's support, took out a thumb-sized telescope, and observed.
"Hmm?" The man frowned. "Gone? Or changed position again?"
Based on his experience, the man could accurately determine the direction of Bai Ye's shot, and once the direction was correct, he could roughly deduce Bai Ye's location.
However, when he looked at the rooftop, he found no one at the edge. He couldn't see Bai Ye at all.
The man hesitated and began to climb up along the support bracket.
The difficulty of urban sniping was far greater than that of field sniping.
This was because there were many sniping positions, but also many obstructions. Therefore, it was not impossible that Bai Ye would shoot and change position, avoiding being discovered while looking for a better sniping spot.
But the time was too short!
The man didn't think Bai Ye could find a better sniping spot in such a short time. The surrounding buildings were quite far apart, beyond jumping distance. Running down one building and then up another…
That was too absurd!
The only possibility the man could think of was that Bai Ye had hidden himself to avoid being discovered!
And this, in the man's opinion, was a definite flaw. If Bai Ye didn't show himself, he couldn't suppress the man, and the man could then position himself, aim, and counter Bai Ye.
But the moment the man climbed over the billboard…
Bang!
The gunshot suddenly rang out!
A spray of blood suddenly erupted from the man's left arm, and a piercing pain instantly engulfed him. The intense pain even made the man stumble, almost falling off the billboard. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and, enduring the pain, grabbed the billboard's support bracket.
"Damn it!" the man cursed. "Where the hell did he snipe from!"
The man found it too bizarre. There was no one on the opposite rooftop!
Bai Ye was very dissatisfied with his shot. The opponent had truly given him an opportunity, standing entirely on the billboard and about to jump back to the rooftop. Yet, he had only hit the arm.
"Used it too little!" Bai Ye sighed. "My skills are rusty!"
Sniper rifles had too many limitations, and the opportunities to use them were indeed few. Using them infrequently naturally led to rustiness.
Looking at the billboard, the opponent remained hidden for a long time without any movement. Bai Ye felt that the opponent was about to flee. After all, with an injured arm, any sensible person would retreat.
However, Bai Ye didn't want to let the opponent go.
Because he was a sniper!
When the Hidden Dragon Society had a numerical advantage, it was difficult to contend with them if the others didn't cooperate. However, it was surprising that the Hidden Dragon Society had failed. With Alex being kidnapped, others had a chance, and Bai Ye certainly wouldn't give up, preparing to compete.
But how could he go to the front lines to fight with a sniper lurking in the shadows, making him feel at ease?
Just like how Bai Ye had harassed the members of the Hidden Dragon Society before, a sneaky shot from nowhere – who could stand that?
Therefore, Bai Ye felt that he had to kill the opponent before he could confidently participate in the frontal combat!
"Goodra!" Bai Ye forcefully threw the beast-taming ball onto the opposite rooftop. "Take care of him!"
The man was panting, and as Bai Ye had predicted, he had no intention of continuing the fight and was quickly looking for an escape route.
But at that moment…
"Yaa~"
A strange cry attracted the man's attention. He couldn't help but look up and saw Goodra looking down at him.
What is this?
The man was stunned at first, then wanted to curse.
You said we were competing in sniping, but you sent a beast?
That's not playing by the rules!
Then…
Goodra's tentacle flicked downwards, directly coiling around the billboard's support bracket, and with a forceful swing.
The billboard was yanked down by Goodra and began to fall.
"Ah!"
The man screamed, crashing heavily onto the ground, spitting blood from his mouth. His body trembled, and then…
Clang!
The broken support bracket smashed onto the man, directly bisecting him at the waist. Blood mixed with internal organs instantly splattered everywhere.
The man's eyes widened, and he lost all signs of life.
