The Last Sentinel

Bang bang bang!

Bullets grazed Ye Feng's scalp, causing him to howl in pain. "Damn it! Guo Xiaoqiang, are you really that good at gunfights?"

Guo Xiaoqiang said stiffly, "Big brother, I'm sorry, I'm only good at playing games."

"Bang bang bang—"

Another burst of bullets struck Ye Feng, and blood bubbles gushed out from beneath him.

The fake man, holding the fire unicorn, walked over step by step. "Forty-five deaths, it's not unreasonable to exchange them for forty-five injuries on your body."

Ye Feng looked at the fake mannequin, excruciating pain coursing through his body. "Not excessive, quite fair."

The fake man suddenly fired, bang bang bang, Ye Feng's legs suddenly burst into a spray of blood mist, the blood seeping through his clothes, his increasingly weak will awakening the chat group, but the chat group seemed to be blocked, completely unresponsive.

The fake man raised the fire qilin, this time aiming it at Ye Feng's head.

Just then, Guo Xiaoqiang shouted from upstairs, "Brother! I deleted my account! It's useless now!"

The fake man suddenly raised his hand, and the Fire Kirin fired a bullet that accurately hit the upper floor. Guo Xiaoqiang's computer exploded instantly, and flames shot into the sky.

"My God!" Ye Feng exclaimed speechlessly, "Couldn't you have deleted the character quietly? Why did you have to announce it? Does it increase combat power?"

The fake man turned around, tossed the Fire Qilin aside, and took out a golden-handled Gurkha scimitar. He lightly brandished it, the blade radiating a cold light. "It's over. You transmigrated little dog, you're nothing but stray dogs kept by your master. Whether you transmigrated or not, you and your chat group comrades are all homeless dogs, stray dogs!"

Ye Feng stared at the Kurkha scimitar radiating golden light, spitting blood as he exclaimed, "Hahaha! I should have died three days ago after being hit by the hundred-ton king. I've actually gained three more days by dying now! The only pity is that I'm still a virgin when I die! Damn it!"

The fake man suddenly drew his knife and slashed down towards Ye Feng's neck!

Time stood still at that moment.

Ye Feng felt he had never been as at peace as he was today. Was this chaotic and messed-up life finally coming to an end?

With a clang, a crisp sound rang out.

A jet-black entrenching tool fell from the sky, leaving a black afterimage, and knocked the Kurkha knife away!

A cool, clear female voice came from behind, "Sorry, there was traffic on the way, I'm late."

Both the fake man and Ye Feng looked up and saw a beautiful, dashing figure on the villa's courtyard wall.

She wore a mask, had a high ponytail, and was tall and slender yet powerful. She wore a gray-blue striped top, jeans that accentuated her perfect leg lines, a combat top with tight leather pants, a tactical vest, knee pads, and gloves, looking like a female character from a shooting game, the Fox Hunter.

The fake man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly drew his Golden Desert Eagle and fired, bang bang bang!

Bullets flew!

The woman leaped two stories high, her figure as graceful as a kite, dodging the dummy's gunfire.

The Fox Hunter's hands became ethereal in mid-air, and a visible black light appeared—a sniper rifle. He aimed it at the dummy from the air and pulled the trigger!

Peng!

The fake human body was suddenly blasted away!

The Fox Hunter landed, magically producing a pair of revolvers with his hands. He fired in rapid succession, hitting the dummy and sending it flying backward, its weapon knocked from its grasp.

Dust billowed as the fake man roared, "Who are you?!"

The Fox Hunter's voice was calm. "South Heavenly Gate Project, Personnel Team Leader: Xuan Nu."

The imposter roared, "Do you know who I am?"

The Fox Hunter said, "My mission is to contain you!"

The fake man leaped into the air, shouting, "You think you're worthy?! Behold my specialty: sword fighting!"

"Excuse me," said the Fox Hunter, "this is the real world, in infinite mode! And in the realm of shooting games, Guo Xiaoqiang is only a beginner gun king, while I am the king of gun kings, ranked in the top 100 of the region! Don't even mention you, even if Guo Xiaoqiang fought me, he wouldn't be a match for me in a knife fight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fox Hunter suddenly flicked his wrist, and a chilling, five-fingered sword—the Qilin Thorn—appeared on his slender right hand.

The Qilin dagger clashed with the False Man's Curved Blade.

In a single glance, the Fox Hunter landed steadily on the ground, and with a gentle wave of his five fingers, the Qilin Thorn vanished instantly.

Looking at the fake man again, a huge gash had been pierced in his chest, and a silver coin had appeared between his eyebrows. The silver coin was frantically absorbing and devouring the black energy ripples around him.

The fake man was gripped by fear and frantically cried for help, "Sanctuary silver coins! Tokens! How do you have tokens! Don't kill me! I... I'm willing to share a secret with you, a secret about time-traveling dogs, don't kill me—ah!"

The Fox Hunter suddenly threw a punch, and the Qilin Dagger flew out of his hand, piercing the fake man's heart like a dart!

The fake man exploded completely, and wisps of black energy spread out, mixing with the temple silver coin.

The immortal imposter finally died at the hands of the Mysterious Maiden of the Southern Heavenly Gate Plan.

He thought that by using Guo Xiaoqiang's most powerful shooting character, he would be invincible.

But here comes the "King of Guns," a top 100 player from the shooting game region!

The false man's death was entirely justified.

What made Ye Feng happiest was that the fake man never revealed his secret of being a time-traveling dog. This secret would remain his secret alone.

"You look unlucky!"

The fox hunter approached, took out a syringe, and stuck it into Ye Feng's shoulder. "Fortunately, these are all minor injuries."

Ye Feng watched as the silver liquid in the syringe was injected into his body, and then his injuries began to heal. Bullets were expelled from his body through granulation tissue, and his breathing and blood flow became smoother and smoother.

Ye Feng looked at the Fox Hunter who was so close to him. The mask covered most of his face, adding to his mysterious aura. His phoenix eyes were cold but with a hint of joy. This was even more exciting than the job interview.

The Fox Hunter raised his hand and said, "Mr. Ye, you are welcome to join the Southern Heavenly Gate Project."

Ye Feng shook hands and said, "I'm very happy to participate in the Southern Heavenly Gate Project! Thank you so much, Miss Xuan Nu, for saving my life!"

Xuan Nu paced back and forth, her fingers tapping the buttons on her shoulders. Her camouflage combat uniform quickly vanished, revealing her in ordinary attire: a horse-face skirt on the lower body and a tight-fitting white top on the upper body.

Ye Feng looked at Xuan Nu in confusion, "Where did all your equipment go?"

"Unreal Engine 10, a fairly mature but not widely adopted technology within a small circle," Xuan Nu said. "You'll learn about it once you join the Southern Heavenly Gate Project."

Ye Feng blinked. Unreal Engine 10? Isn't Unreal Engine 5 the strongest in online games right now? How could there be Unreal Engine 10?

The Mystic Woman said, "The technology in this small circle is incredibly advanced, far more outrageous than anything you've encountered in real life. You'll see later!"

Ye Feng said, "Maybe, so now?"

The goddess took out a pen. "Close your eyes. I'm going to erase the memories of all the witnesses around us, including the satellite surveillance footage."

Ye Feng closed his eyes, accompanied by Guo Xiaoqiang's exclamation.

The Mystic Maiden said, "It's over."

Ye Feng opened his eyes again and saw Guo Xiaoqiang lying on the ground, unconscious.

The Mystic Maiden said, "He no longer has the mark on his body, so the imposter won't come looking for him again!"

Ye Feng asked, "Is it only possible to find it if it has a brand?"

Xuan Nu nodded, "That's right, but I don't understand why the fake man insisted on killing such an ordinary guy. Generally speaking, the fake man only targets geniuses, especially those geniuses who haven't been discovered yet. This guy doesn't seem like a genius."

Ye Feng remained silent, after all, it was best to keep the fact that Guo Xiaoqiang was the younger brother of a 15th-level martial artist to a minimum.

Ye Feng said, "By the way, I have two other friends who also have branded marks on their bodies. Could you help me get rid of them?"

"Yes," said the Mystic Maiden. "Where?"

Ye Feng said, "Let's go to Jiangbei First Hospital, according to Guo Xiaoqiang."

The Mystic Maiden said, "Someone has come to take him to school! Let's go!"

Xuan Nu walked ahead, wearing a white top paired with a black and gold patterned horse-face skirt, looking heroic and extraordinary.

"Get in the car!"

Ye Feng looked at the electric scooter in front of him. "An electric scooter? The Nantianmen Project is really keeping a low profile."

The Mystic Maiden said, "There's a traffic jam, so this is the only way we could get here. You can sit in the back!"

"I'll ride the bike!" Ye Feng said. "I'm better at driving this."

Xuan Nu hesitated for a moment, but still sat in the back row.

The electric scooter roared away, carrying the two of them, and disappeared from sight.
