Yan Gui was born into the Thief Sect. His sect had ancestral techniques that utilized special hand movements to use light to conceal one's form.
Combined with his outstanding agility and breath-concealing technique, he was virtually undetectable by god or spirit, capable of stealing both wealth and lives!
At this moment, he had wormed his way into the courtyard through the wall's drainage pipe, silently crawling in the vegetable garden, his small stature of only 1.5 meters hunched into the size of a basketball, waiting for the right moment.
[I don't need to face off against Liao Ya, I just need to take advantage of the moment and kidnap Liao Qe.]
He was indulging in his perfect plan when he suddenly realized that the weakest of the three, the sickly one, was staring right at him?
[Impossible! How could a mere Sinew-Strengthening practitioner detect me!?]
The next second, he saw this person swiftly draw a handgun and open fire on him!
~~~~~~~
"Hey, hey, hey~look, there's someone here!" Lu Yao, having achieved a great level of inner focus, easily spotted the "stealthy thief".
Yan Gui silently cursed: [How was I discovered as soon as I arrived!]
But he wasn't the least bit panicked. His agility was his greatest confidence. Crawling on the ground like a snake, he moved like a centipede skimming the surface, very fast and extremely low to the ground. If a normal person tried to hit him, they would surely find it head-splittingly frustrating!
Sadly, none of the three were average people.
Liao Ya let out a thunderous shout, and his spear transformed into a Black Dragon devouring men; Liao Qe fired her gun in rapid succession, her face flushed with excitement; Lu Yao simply lifted his hand, and the bullets completely blocked the thief's escape routes, forcing him to reposition!
Yan Gui narrowly dodged the engulfing Black Dragon, his face stung by the cutting force; he swung his Crescent Blade deflecting countless incoming bullets, his palms numbed by the impact.
The situation was perilous; a slight mistake would mean his demise right there and then, immediately causing him to despair:
[Damn that Sun Haoran! Talking about how it's just a small gym with three people, but it turns out there's a martial master close to marrow-cleansing, plus two sharpshooters with inner focus helping out. Damn it all!]
As an assassin, he had no wish to get entangled in a fight and was set to flee, but Luo Su, who was following him, didn't want to return empty-handed.
The craving for virgin blood burned inside him like a fierce flame, terribly tormenting.
Luo Su stood atop a distant rooftop, watching Yan Gui hop and leap about, a mocking smile on his face.
After observing for a while and getting a sense of each person's strength in the scene, his entire being merged into the air and disappeared from sight.
This was complete invisibility, not the mere visual deception of Yan Gui's.
~~~~~~
While Yan Gui was focused on dodging the attacks from Liao Ya and Lu Yao, the air in front of him suddenly thickened, sticky like glue, ensnaring him; then, a syringe appeared, and its contents were instantly injected into him!
Afterwards, Lu Yao turned the gun towards Luo Su. With full focus mode on, he pulled the trigger!
The initial velocity of the AK's bullets is 715 meters per second, twice the speed of sound. Luo Su surprisingly retreated sharply, dodging several shots.
But Lu Yao's focus was not for nothing, he rapidly followed up with gunfire!
Luo Su indeed had skills, waving his rapier like lightning, striking sparks as he actually parried several bullets!
Lu Yao kept his finger on the trigger without letting go, subsequent bullets followed up and Luo Su couldn't block them, "pop pop pop" he was shot with several black holes.
Amid his painful screams, a smoke-like substance oozed out of the holes.
Right then, Liao Ya followed up with "Blue Dragon Bearing Sorrow," her spear transforming into a dragon's head with a roar, taking a bite off Luo Su's sword-holding arm.
The tide turned too quickly, the vampire who had been elegant and composed just now was on the verge of death.
Luo Su's mood at that moment was like he had been screwed over by fate. The human male's weapon was formidable, packing huge power with automatic firing capability, and it was much more portable than a machine gun, far surpassing bolt-action rifles equipped by military forces of all countries!
What country had developed this new type of weapon!? It couldn't possibly be the backward Shun Dynasty!
With no time to think, Luo Su let his severed arm morph into smoke as thick as India ink, filling the room and obscuring vision, as he once again vanished into the air.
Liao Ya's spear struck out in all directions, but sadly to no avail, her enemy had disappeared without a trace.
With full focus mode on, Lu Yao faintly detected an abnormal fluctuation in the air in the distance, and immediately swung the gun around to fire.
The whistling bullets hit something, and after a wave of ripples, Luo Su, looking like a sieve, appeared, furiously staring down Lu Yao!
He had made it to the wall and one more step would have allowed him to scale it and escape with his life. But that one step was farther than heaven itself!
Liao Ya exerted force on her legs, launching forward with two deep footprints, and a thrust to the chest impaled the enemy, nailing him to the wall!
With a teammate holding the front, Lu Yao calmly reloaded, pulled out a new magazine to replace the old one, and at the same time cocked the gun, all within 0.3 seconds.
Luo Su began to roar, "You can't kill me! I am..."
He couldn't finish his sentence as ten 7.62MM bullets obliterated his head.
Luo Su turned into a handful of black ash, scattering into the wind and vanishing.
Although they had managed to kill the monster quite easily, Lu Yao still had a high regard for its strength.
It had formidable vitality, enduring so much beating only to be killed by a headshot; it could turn invisible and possessed many bizarre tricks, able to engage in close combat with Liao Ya and give as good as it got.
Luckily, teamwork made the task lighter; with Master Liao leading the front, all Lu Yao had to do was focus on shooting, drastically reducing the difficulty.
