Chapter 154 – One Shot, Headshot

After calibrating the Great Gun, Su Hao and Yashan returned to the tower, found a hidden spot, and set up the Great Gun.

This time, Su Hao would be the one to shoot, while Yashan would be responsible for keeping watch and driving away anyone who tried to climb the tower.

Su Hao closed his eyes, slowly adjusting his breathing to keep his body relatively still, so that the slight fluctuations from breathing wouldn’t affect the shooting accuracy.

At a distance of over a thousand meters, even the slightest error would cause the bullet’s final landing point to deviate significantly from the objective.

Su Hao gathered information about the surrounding environment, such as wind speed and humidity, while quietly waiting for an opportunity.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Hao suddenly opened his eyes.

Because [Sky Lord] Stan in his Radar Perception had moved, leading a few people out of the castle.

The opportunity Su Hao had been waiting for had arrived.

He activated the ‘Far-Sight’ Rune on the upper part of the Great Gun.

A vulgar middle-aged man dressed in outrageously flashy attire appeared within Su Hao’s sight. This middle-aged man’s hair was styled elaborately, adorned with a pile of sparkling decorations, and he wore a faint smile on his face, exuding immense dignity.

His steps swayed, like a king inspecting his territory and reviewing his soldiers.

This must be the leader of the Sky Sand Gang, Stan the Sky Lord.

Su Hao had imagined Stan in various majestic images, but he never expected him to look like this. If you knew he was the Sky Lord, you’d think he was some local tycoon drained dry by women.

A few subordinates followed Stan the Sky Lord with imposing strides, while several alluring young Zhu Huo People girls carried various fruit platters and snacks, feeding him occasionally before kissing Stan the Sky Lord’s old face, making him laugh heartily.

Su Hao slowly calmed his emotions, took out an iron core he had prepared long ago, and then generated his Steel Armor to wrap the iron core, forming a bullet tip gleaming with metallic luster. It was as thick as a finger, enough to blow anyone’s head off in an instant.

Su Hao slowly pushed the bullet tip into the chamber, and the bolt, marked ‘Level Two-Fivefold Burst,’ was pushed up and locked.

The ‘Level Two-Hardness’ Rune was activated, and the entire Great Gun’s luster dimmed slightly.

The ‘Level Two-Penetration’ and ‘Level Two-Air Piercing’ Runes were activated, and their effects were applied to the bullet tip.

Next, Su Hao locked onto Stan the Sky Lord through his Far-Sight scope, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

The so-called opportunity was when Stan the Sky Lord stopped moving, or when he moved with his back or front facing Su Hao. At this point, the chance of a successful sniper shot would be extremely high.

A moving target was also possible, but it was prone to misjudgment. After all, at a distance of over a thousand meters, even if the bullet only took one to two seconds to fly, other accidents could easily occur.

Su Hao understood that for a powerful Evolved Human like the Sky Lord, there would only be one chance. If he missed it, he would have to fight him with a blade himself.

A moment later!

The opportunity Su Hao was waiting for arrived. Two or three people suddenly walked out and knelt before Stan the Sky Lord, seemingly reporting something.

Su Hao immediately activated the ‘Level Two-Barrier’ Rune to protect his Great Gun, while simultaneously inputting Blood Qi into the bolt.

‘Level Two-Fivefold Burst’ was ready.

Su Hao held his breath, his entire being entering a state of extreme calm.

‘Activate’!

“Boom–“

……

Stan the Sky Lord in the distance had no perception of the shadow of death that was about to engulf him.

After listening to his subordinate’s report, he sneered, “So, the people from Flying Stone City can’t come up with the money?”

The subordinate said fearfully, “That’s right. We turned that broken city upside down and couldn’t find much money! We killed quite a few people and personally went to search, but in the end, we only got six hundred thousand Zhu…”

“Slap!”

The subordinate seemed to hear a loud bang, and a bit of warmth splashed on his face. He subconsciously reached out to touch it and then looked at his hand.

“Blood?”

“Bang!” A muffled sound came from afar at this moment, but no one cared anymore.

He raised his head in confusion.

He saw that the head of their gang leader, [Sky Lord] Stan, had disappeared. His tall body still stood intact on the ground, but blood spurted from his neck like a fountain, staining his magnificent clothes.

Immediately after, he watched [Sky Lord] Stan’s body slowly fall.

His mind went blank at this moment, he couldn’t think of anything, and he subconsciously let out a soft murmur: “Huh?”

After a moment of silence, the people around finally realized what had happened!

Their Sky Sand Gang leader, the Level 6 Evolved Human [Sky Lord] Stan, seemed to be dead!

A graceful girl was holding a vermilion fruit, preparing to feed it to her dear Lord Stan. In the next moment, her dear [Sky Lord] Stan’s head disappeared. She was stunned for a long time. However, she was the first to react on the scene and immediately screamed at the top of her lungs, bursting out the highest decibel of her life: “Ah——”

Following the first hysterical scream, everyone around descended into chaos.

“Quick, save Boss Stan…”

“Where’s his head? Where’s his head? Hurry and look for it, let’s reattach it to Boss Stan!”

“What do we do? Boss Stan seems to be dead…”

It was as if everyone had lost their leader, milling around Stan’s remains.

At this moment, someone immediately said: “Quick, go find Captain [Ricochet King] Tang Di!”

Everyone suddenly understood and immediately had objectives for action.

On the other side, Su Hao, confirming the opponent was dead, put away his Great Gun and said to Yashan, “Yashan, let’s go! Let’s get some of [Sky Lord]’s flesh and blood.”

Yashan took the Great Gun with trembling hands. Only now did he understand what this Great Gun truly meant.

He said in a hoarse voice, “Okay, Boss Wei!”

……

The Four Kings Gang members were concentrated on the southern city border, ready for action.

Gai Li and the others stood on the rooftop of a tall building, looking towards the south of the city, but they could barely see what was happening in the distance.

Ka Si suddenly narrowed his eyes and pointed in a direction, saying, “There’s a disturbance over there!”

The other three looked in the direction he pointed, but they couldn’t see anything clearly.

Xiao Tong frowned and asked, “Can that Wei really kill Sky Lord Stan?”

Gai Li laughed heartily, “Don’t worry, Xiao Tong, I don’t misjudge people! If Wei says he can kill him, he definitely can. That kind of deep-seated confidence from the soul, you Perception can’t grasp it, but I can, there’s no mistake. We just need to wait!”

Although he said this, Gai Li was actually still a bit uncertain in his heart.

After a while, a subordinate of the Four Kings Gang ran excitedly up to the rooftop and said directly to the four of them, “Four Kings boss, Sky Lord Stan is dead!”

“Dead?” Although the four had been prepared, they were still startled to hear the news.

Xiao Tong hurriedly asked, “Is he really dead? Did you see it with your own eyes? How did he die?”

The subordinate nodded and said affirmatively, “That’s right! Absolutely no mistake! Sky Lord Stan was listening to a subordinate’s report when suddenly, with a snap, his head was gone, and blood splattered everywhere. I saw it with my own eyes!”

The four looked at each other, disbelieving the news they had heard.

Ka Si asked, “Did you see who killed Sky Lord?”

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, recalled, and shook his head, “I didn’t see anyone attack Sky Lord, it was just for an instant, Sky Lord’s head inexplicably disappeared.”

A sentence immediately popped into the minds of the four: “This person cannot be made an enemy of!”

The other three looked at Gai Li with even more admiration. This guy Gai Li, as expected of him…

Gai Li laughed proudly and waved his hand, “Didn’t I say I wouldn’t misjudge people? Let’s go! It’s time for us to appear! Let’s act according to the plan! A Shi, Ricochet King Tang Di is up to you. He’ll probably head south to escape Linyuan City after hearing the news. You go wait for him there and see if you can intercept him.”

Sky Sand Gang’s Pervert King Luowan went out to collect protection fees a few days ago and is currently out of town. After we clean up Linyuan City, we’ll go block her Outside the City and take her down.

Xiao Tong and Ka Si, you two immediately take your brothers to capture the entire south of the city. Refer to the list and push through, don’t let anyone escape!”

A Shi nodded lightly, leaped up, and landed steadily in mid-air. Then he sped smoothly towards the south of the city.

Xiao Tong and Harmony nodded seriously, “Leave it to us!”

Xiao Tong leaped down, merged into the shadows, and disappeared. Ka Si’s entire body began to transform, growing two wings, and he shot into the sky, disappearing.

Gai Li stared motionlessly into the distance, a perfect arc slowly forming on the corner of his mouth.
