Chapter 220: Kill the Leopard, Seize the Ranger

“Da da…”

An intermittent burst of rapid machine gun fire streaked across the silent rainforest in the Luang Namtha Province. Birds that inhabited here all year round had already disappeared before the gunfire started.

The sporadic gunfire quickly came and left.

Soon, the rainforest was restored to its initial silence.

“Colonel, we have just repelled the Emperor Army that wanted to break in. Do we need to dispatch the Jungle Ranger now?” The soldier who had his face covered with fireproof oil and stood upright like a pole reported to a Black male Colonel.

“No.” The Black man leaned against a big tree and pushed his bulletproof helmet up with a knife while his other hand was gently touching the area around his ear. A sinister smile flashed through his eyes, “I’m waiting for a big fish called Ming Kun. The Jungle Ranger is to be used to greet him.”

As the Black man glared at him, the soldier lowered his head quickly and shifted his sight to the mud under his feet. He dared not to look at the Black man’s ear area, as there was no ear at all, only a malevolent scar.

As the seasoned soldier of Wu Lianda, he knew that the ear of this Black Leopard Wu Henfeng had been chopped off by Ming Kun during a nighttime battle.

Wu Henfeng looked at the soldier with ridicule and waved his hand casually, “You may be dismissed now. Let everyone pay attention to the police. Push them back if they wish to break through, don’t let them run away again. If there is anyone who comes in from outside, kill him on the spot.”

“Understood!”

Wu Henfeng did not bother looking at the soldier who left with instructions. He grabbed the binoculars on his chest and observed the surroundings. He had a very, very bad feeling just now — his heart had contracted out of sudden.

He had this feeling before. For instance, the time when his ear was chopped off. The stronger the strength of a martial artist, the more life and death experiences he went through, the sharper his intuition would be.

“Am I sensing wrong?” Wu Henfeng held a leaf with his mouth. He scanned the area and there was indeed nothing wrong.

“After some contemplation, Wu Henfeng still felt that caution was the parent of safety. He put on a Dragon Skin bulletproof vest and snapped his fingers, “Twelve Iron Guards, surround me”

The Twelve Iron Guards were personally trained by Wu Henfeng after he got raided by Ming Kun. They were twelve personal bodyguards with Iron Mantle Arts. Their goal was not to kill enemies, but to help Wu Hanfeng resist any critical blow.

Surrounded by twelve five-star martial artists who practiced Iron Mantle Arts, Wu Henfeng’s uneasiness was reduced greatly.

Grabbing his binoculars, Wu Henfeng looked at the Emperor Army, which had been encircled again. With this amount of bait, even if he could not lure Ming Kun here, he must have to at least lure a lieutenant commander of the Emperor Army to make this worth his effort.

Without finishing his thoughts, Wu Henfeng’s head burst suddenly with a “bang” sound, like a watermelon being blown apart by a bomb.

His neck without the head was like a fire hydrant on the roadside that was hit by a car, spurting streams of water in a few meters height. Except that this stream of water was bloody red.

The Twelve Iron Guards already heard the gunshot that came from afar but they were unable to respond fast enough.

Puff!

The Iron Guard standing behind Wu Henfeng had a hole burst through his chest that was the size of a human head. His Iron Mantle turned into a torn cloth immediately.

Sniper! The remaining eleven Iron Guards finally responded. There was an absolutely ace sniper in a distant unknown position! Otherwise, it was impossible for Black Leopard, who was so sensitive, to not detect him.

The eleven Iron Guards jumped to different directions almost simultaneously. Everyone knew very well that the sniper’s bullets could not rake like a machine gun. Thus, the chances of survival were very high if they fled separately.

Shoop…shoop…

As the Iron Guards leaped off the ground, a series of whooshing sounds were heard in the air.

Drug dealers who lived in the Golden Triangle all year round were familiar with this sound.

Grenade!

The hairs of the Iron Guards all stood up straight like steel needles, and they had rice-sized goosebumps all over their bodies. Unlike the armor-piercer, grenades were not single target destructive weapons. It was the reduced version of heavy artillery that possesses extremely strong explosive and destructive power.

Nine people, including Red Eyebrows, were stunned as they stood behind a tree.

They had never seen such a determined and decisive shooter – he had climbed the tree while carrying two weapons with a total weight of one hundred and fifty kilograms on his back, then he simply grabbed the Barrett and shot almost without aiming as soon as he assembled the weapon, which only took seconds.

Qin Fen did not even bother to confirm the result by using the sniper lens after the shot was fired. Instead, he threw the Barrett away immediately and grabbed the grenade launcher and started continuously firing. There were about ten grenades that launched within a second.

“What are you looking at?” Qin Fen shouted, with a grenade launcher in his hands, “Attack!”

As a cold shiver ran down the spine of Red Eyebrows and the rest, their eyes flashed with strong hints of self-deprecating. They had fought in many battles in these few years and were considered competent seasoned soldiers. However, they still watched another person’s fight, stunned like a rookie…

No tiger, no roar.

With the speed of light, nine people including Red Eyebrows rushed to the position they were assigned to previously.

Red Eyebrows and the rest felt even more embarrassed when they looked at the demon-like Lin Ling who was sprinting in front of them. As Qin Fen shot, Lin Ling dashed forward simultaneously. Their concentration was far poorer than a woman as they still required people to remind them about their tasks.

As the grenade launcher vibrated vigorously in his hands, Qin Fen started to feel excited. M134 was certainly incomparable to the grenade launcher that fired continuously. Following every shot of the grenade, there would be an explosion!

Since the opponents were all drug dealers, he did not have to bear any psychological burden killing them. The chance of fully-committed gunfire was indeed rare.

The eleven Iron Guards did not expect to find that there was a grenade at each of their landing spots!

“What fucking man is this? He could guess where I’m jumping to?”

As this thought went through their minds, the grenades hit heavily on their body at the same time!

Boom…

Flame soared to the sky and splinters from shells spurted in all directions.

By listening to the sound of the grenade explosion, Qin Fen knew that the eleven Iron Guards have died.

According to shooting psychology taught by Squad Leader Hao and Gun King, one could roughly estimate the place where the enemy would most likely want to hide when being attacked based on the standing position, the direction they were facing and surrounding environment of the enemy.

Obviously, the eleven Iron Guards did not know what shooting psychology was, much less anti-shooting psychology. Their instinctive reaction as martial artists provided the best tomb for them.

Qin Fen grabbed the infrared binocular on his chest and scanned the front quickly while pressing the talker beside his mouth, “Red Eyebrows, seven hundred meters ahead, twelve enemies, all AK47. Two grenades on each person…Lin Ling…”

By now, Wu Henfeng’s men had already gotten news from their observers that the colonel had been killed.

Because of having been in battles for all year round, in addition to their advantage in number, they did not retreat immediately. On the contrary, they took up their weapons intrepidly to eliminate the small group of intruders reported by the observers.

“They are changing their formation in a very target-oriented way…” Qin Fen furrowed his eyebrows and replaced his binoculars with the Barrett sniper. He searched for several opponent observers first thing. His flesh crept at that moment.

This was the feeling of being aimed at! Even if he was not entirely in the sight, he was exposed anyway! The opponent also had a sniper!

Without any hesitation, Qin Fen jumped down the tree. A “bang” sound was heard, and the spot he was at a second before was filled with sawdust that flew into the air, followed by the sound of the gunshot from the sniper.

Nice shot! Qin Fen praised in his heart. The distance between them was at least one thousand and five hundred meters. Even an ace sniper might not have been so accurate. The only weakness was the sniper’s murderous aura was too obvious when aiming at his target.

Qin Fen dodged another bullet with a standard military sniper evasive maneuver. Only now did he realize how lucky he was to get coaching from Gun King.

With this distance of one thousand and five hundred meters, the only way for an ace sniper to have an accurate shot was to use his murderous aura to aim at the target. However, once he aimed this way, he would also expose his purpose and target. It could be said as a double-edged sword that hurts both sides.

The third bullet hit the spot where Qin Fen stayed at shortly. He already understood that there were at least two opponent snipers.

At the same time the Barrett was lifted, the trigger pulled.

The sniper afar did not get the chance to be shocked as his head had already turned into a fleshy paste.

Another sniper hidden in the dark jumped to another direction without thinking. He saw very clearly that his prey shot while dodging just now. It was impossible to do any aiming. He merely relied on the instincts as a gunman and utilized the killer’s murderous aura released to aim at his target.

The dodging sniper knew that he was not capable to do so. The previous shot had also exposed his position. Thus, he did not want to risk any potential danger.

Bang!

A high-speed rotating bullet penetrated the sniper’s chest while he was still halfway in the air.

The sniper did not instantly die as his body was still falling down. He looked at the transparent hole in his chest as he could not believe this. He never failed in utilizing the anti-sniper dodge that he was performing just now, even in previous extreme sniper wars. How…how could the opponent see through my dodging route while he himself was dodging too? Don’t tell me the Emperor Army invited one of the Top Ten Snipers of the Federation?

After killing the opponents with two shots, Qin Fen leaned against a big tree calmly with the Barrett in his hands. As he watched his falling opponent, an ace sniper, he sneered cruelly.

Life or death on the battlefield was decided within seconds.

Only fools would do things because of the “like knows like” principle, such as simply destroying their opponent’s weapons and letting them go.

Qin Fen carried the Barrett calmly and found the only surviving observer opponent. His fingers pulled the trigger without any hesitation.

As the gunshot burst, the opponent fell from the tree.

Qin Fen climbed another tree that was very suitable for being undercover and used his binoculars to observe the fierce battle in the jungle.

Lin Ling was just like a massacre machine that never burns out. Her shots, temporary grenade traps, and ghost-like close assassinations impressed Qin Fen greatly. He knew that he could not do any better than Lin Ling.

Red Eyebrows and the rest formed groups of three. Even though they were at a disadvantage in number when facing fifty plus enemies, they would always prevail.

Bullets were whizzing by beside his body but Red Eyebrows had never been as excited as he was today. His body seemed to have entered an ethereal state that he has never experienced before. Obviously, he was distant from the enemy but he could clearly sense when the opponent lifted his gun, what angle he was aiming at, and when he would pull the trigger.

In the past, he would still have a hint of worry when bullets were whizzing past him. Now, he seemed to have another layer of mastery where he knew whether the bullet would hit him or not.
