He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

He raised the scope, wanting to finish Zhang Beixing off with a single shot, but Zhang Beixing was no longer visible in the scope.

The sniper immediately looked down at a black screen device next to him.

It was a radar; within the green circular scanning area, every living person was a red dot, constantly fluctuating on the screen.

Drones at the four corners of the sky looked down and displayed everyone's location in real time.

"Sizzle—!"

Suddenly, all the red dot targets disappeared from the radar.

At the same time, a high-pitched eagle cry came from the sky, and a group of dark figures swept across the sky at high speed, as if they were holding something in their claws, and flew over the sniper's head.

The sniper's pupils constricted sharply; he spotted the drone in the eagle's claw.

The next second, the sniper felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if his body was being torn apart.

He slowly looked down and saw a sharp knife tip, dripping with blood, piercing through his back and protruding from his chest.

In his final moments before dying, the sniper slowly turned his head to look back, only to find no one there.

He stared in astonishment, his eyes wide.

There, there was only a black void gate.

Within the black vortex of the door, a powerful arm, holding a slender silver scalpel, slowly pulled it from his chest...

how so?!……

In the final moments before his death, the masked sniper had only one question that struck him like a thunderbolt in his mind.

He just couldn't understand why this was happening.
Why did a hand suddenly appear out of nowhere behind him, and why was that ordinary standard scalpel so easily able to pierce through the nano bulletproof vest he was wearing?

That's absolutely impossible!
Immediately afterwards, the boundless darkness swallowed up all his astonishment, leaving only a vast expanse of blackness before his eyes, nothing at all.

Fresh blood dripped from his heart, falling onto the tender grass at his feet, where it quickly congealed.

An urgent voice came from the walkie-talkie hanging on his chest.

"Ghost Hand! Ghost Hand! What happened? Respond when you receive this!"

"..."

There was only silence in response.

Because the sniper codenamed Ghost Hand has forever lost the chance to speak.

After Zhang Beixing stabbed him in the heart, the blade's energy swirled and shredded his internal organs to pieces.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, and after a brief silence, a cold voice rang out again.

"Good luck, may the twilight last forever... Hunters, move out, prepare the artillery fire, let these boy scouts stay here forever!"

At the same time, Zhang Beixing stomped on the four unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that the eagle had thrown down from the sky, crushing them to pieces.

With a long cry, the eagle flapped its wings and soared back into the sky, transforming into several small black dots and disappearing into the mountains and forests.

Within the black vortex of the Void Gate, Zhang Beixing slowly withdrew his right hand, which was tightly gripping the scalpel.

Zhang Beixing glanced down at the blood-stained, sharp tip of the knife and smiled.

This god-tier skill, a true backstabbing technique, which cost 100,000 merit points to acquire, is worth it, whether it's profitable or not is unknown. It shone brightly in its first battle, ending the opponent's life with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

This group is very strong, but their mistake was stepping into Chinese territory with weapons.

We welcome friends with fine wine, and we face wolves with hunting rifles – this is the consistent principle of hospitality in this great nation.

As for the voice coming from the walkie-talkie, it naturally reached Zhang Beixing's ears through the void gate.

A brightly colored titmouse swiftly flew through the air and landed on Zhang Beixing's shoulder, hopping and chirping incessantly close to his ear.

Zhang Beixing nodded slowly, looking just like a wise and attentive elder.

When Zhang Beixing heard that a position consisting of twenty ground-based artillery pieces was located a kilometer away from the valley entrance, and that all the howitzers with shells larger than 20mm were aimed at the forest, preparing for a large-scale cleanup, his face turned deathly pale.

"Damn it! Are these sons of bitches insane?"

"Large-scale artillery bombardment on the border, is this an attempt to provoke a real war? Those bastards from Twilight are a bunch of lunatics!"

Upon realizing this, Zhang Beixing immediately raised his voice and roared, his shout instantly spreading throughout the entire communication channel and resounding in the earpieces of every special forces member.

"Sniper killed! Abandon all heavy weaponry! Everyone, take the wounded and evacuate this forest immediately!"

“Demon King, we…” someone tried to ask.

"Don't ask why!" Zhang Beixing interrupted without hesitation, "Execute immediately!"

"……Yes!"

"JF-17 understands."

"Lightning Commando Team received!"

"Fire Phoenix received!"

"Special Patrol Team received!"

"Red blood cells are collecting... Holy crap! What's happening so fast?"

Upon hearing a gasp from the red blood cell communication channel, even Zhang Beixing's brow twitched, and he immediately shouted, "Pilot, what's going on?"

"..."

No one answered.

Zhang Beixing's thoughts raced like lightning. He sprinted towards the red blood cell position, while simultaneously repeating the evacuation order sternly over the radio communication channel.

"I'll repeat myself! All combat personnel must immediately evacuate the position! Dump all heavy equipment! Quickly!"

In a wide open forest below the rainforest slope, two figures as swift as cheetahs sped out from the depths of the forest, interrupting Red Cell and the others from their attempt to reply.

The two JF-17 special forces members, who had just gotten up from the ground, reacted quickly, immediately raising their guns and firing, a burst of bullets whistling through the air.

However, what happened next made the two special forces soldiers feel uneasy.

The two black figures, clad in raincoats, moved with lightning speed through the woods, their bodies barely missing bullets as they charged forward. How could the guns not hit them?!
The two soldiers quickly changed magazines, but before they could even load the new magazines...

The two terrifying figures had already closed in on them. The two special forces soldiers were powerless to fight back and were directly pinned to the ground, their fate unknown!

The two dark figures continued to rush forward, swooping down towards Xu Tianlong and Song Kaifei with lightning speed.

"Holy crap! What the hell was that thing so fast?"

Song Kaifei was the first to be hit, and one of the black figures leaped into the air and then slammed his knee into Song Kaifei's chest.

Song Kaifei's face turned deathly pale instantly, his chest caved in, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, flying away heavily like a tattered sack.

"pilot!"

Seeing this, Xu Tianlong, who was not far from Song Kaifei, suddenly roared in anger.

At the same time, another black figure instantly attacked.

With a light tap of his toes, he leaped more than ten feet into the sky, his eyes, hidden behind the mask, gleaming with a scarlet light and brimming with murderous intent, as he pounced straight down at Xu Tianlong!

Xu Tianlong, as expected of someone from an ancient martial arts family, coupled with the training he received in the special forces over the years and his frequent sparring sessions with Zhang Beixing, has skills that Song Kaifei can no longer match.

As the opponent lunged forward, Xu Tianlong kicked up two clumps of mud at his feet and dodged out of the attack range with a swift movement.

With a loud "boom!", the masked man landed on the ground. The punch was so powerful that Xu Tianlong's expression changed upon hearing it; for a moment, he even had the illusion that the earth itself was shaking.

"This is troublesome; he's a tough nut to crack!"

"You dare hurt my brother? No matter how tough you are, I'll bend you! Bah!"

Xu Tianlong spat fiercely on the ground, then ripped off his glasses, threw them on the ground, and stomped on them until they were crushed. His expression became fierce and ferocious like never before.

The moment the lens shattered, Xu Tianlong was like a Tyrannosaurus Rex unleashed from its seal. His pupils almost spewed fire, his eyes widened, his muscles bulged, and he was filled with boundless power.

"boom!"

With another loud crash, Xu Tianlong collided violently with the red-eyed man in front of him, who was wearing a mask and a black raincoat.

The two exchanged blows, each a deadly punch and kick, leaving no room for negotiation. Every move was aimed at killing, a fight to the death!

Several trees around them were snapped in half by the two men's attacks, the cracking sounds echoing incessantly.

Severely injured, Song Kaifei lay on the ground, sweating profusely from the pain, his camouflage uniform soaked through.

Another masked man wanted to kill Song Kaifei, but sensed that his companion behind him was entangled in a fight with Xu Tianlong and couldn't break free. This didn't align with their original mission objective.

Their mission was to keep these Chinese soldiers occupied and tied them up here, waiting for the artillery fire from the howitzer positions to come down!
The code names for these two people are Eleven and Twelve.

Twelve hesitated for a moment, then quickly turned around and joined the battle.

One against two, Xu Tianlong was no match for two opponents, and he gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. After taking several heavy blows, his stamina began to fail, while the two masked men in front of him seemed to have inexhaustible strength, making Xu Tianlong feel extremely troubled.

Eleven and Twelve attacked from the top and bottom respectively, using both fists and feet, their attacks raining down on Xu Tianlong's open spaces.

Xu Tianlong exchanged blows with his opponent with a mid-air kick, but could no longer hold on and staggered to the ground.

Twelve pulled out a standard military knife that Xu Tianlong had never seen before, and thrust the sharp blade straight down toward his chest!

"Captain, help me!" Song Kaifei suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.

Eleven and Twelve were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, their bayonet movements froze for a split second.

In that instant, Zhang Beixing descended from the sky like a black lightning bolt.

The silver scalpel streaked through the air, slicing off Hunter Twelve's right arm with a slicing sound, as easily as cutting tofu.

Hunter Twelve didn't let out any screams, as if he couldn't feel any pain at all, and just instinctively took a few steps back.

Hunter Eleven let out a hoarse and strange roar from under his mask, and clenched his fist like a chariot, smashing it towards Zhang Beixing.

Zhang Beixing responded with a cold laugh and also threw a punch to meet the attack.

The two were on completely different levels of strength; Hunter Eleven's arm was smashed open, bones broken and tendons snapped. A hint of fear finally appeared in his usually calm, blood-red eyes.

It was too late for regrets. Taking advantage of the moment when the two hunters were stunned, Zhang Beixing took out a self-defense pistol from thin air, aimed it at their heads, and the bullets whistled into their skulls.

The mask shattered and broke apart, revealing two hideous faces that made people want to vomit.

The only visible feature was a pair of scarlet eyes. The nose, mouth, ears, and other parts of the face were melted as if burned, turning into coils of blue veins on the face, making it look extremely terrifying.

Zhang Beixing frowned slightly, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Before he could think about it further, a series of sharp whistling sounds came from the high-altitude sky above his head.

Zhang Beixing looked up and gazed into the distance. Hundreds of black bullets rose into the sky, falling in high-altitude parabolic arcs towards the hillside!
Zhang Beixing's expression changed drastically. He grabbed one of his teammates with each hand and ran away without saying a word!
Are you kidding me? The firepower coverage of this 100-round howitzer shells of 20mm or more can create an absolute kill radius of over 500 meters.

Within this area, nothing grows; even Zhang Beixing wouldn't want to risk his life.

"Attention everyone! Stay hidden!"

Amidst the whistling of shells filling the sky, Zhang Beixing roared in fury.

—Boom boom boom boom boom boom…!
A barrage of howitzer shells rained down like a storm, flames and explosions instantly creating a hellish inferno. Everyone who witnessed this turned deathly pale.

This is terrifying, utterly horrifying. This is a weapon of mass destruction created by humankind, a pure killing machine that flesh and blood cannot withstand!
The overwhelming barrage of rocket and artillery fire sent shivers down the spines of the entire mountain forest.

The deafening explosion tore through the sky in an instant, and towering flames and billowing black smoke surged and rose, looking from afar like a black dragon breathing flames, as if it wanted to burn everything on the earth to ashes.

Everyone who witnessed this scene turned pale, their pupils reflecting the flames of the explosion.

Less than ten seconds later, they would have been engulfed in the absolute kill radius by this barrage of fire, with unimaginable consequences.

If Zhang Beixing hadn't made the right judgment and response in the shortest amount of time, this so-called elite joint special forces unit would have been removed from the world's list of elite forces.

All the special forces soldiers were still shaken, their clothes soaked with sweat—it was hard to tell whether it was cold sweat from lingering fear or excessive sweating from the sweat glands after strenuous exercise.

But whatever it may be, the battle is not over yet.

This is no longer just a simple anti-drug operation, but a battle to defend the nation's dignity!
Yuan Lang gazed at the wildfire, his face pale, and murmured, "Are these people a bunch of lunatics?"

“War is inherently a matter of life and death.” Zhang Beixing glanced back at him. “However, the good news is that their artillery positions are located within the Chinese border. Although we don’t know how they smuggled so many heavy weapons in, as long as they’re not outside our borders, we can completely annihilate them.” (End of Chapter)
