Star Ring

  "Lao Si, coming out to stroll around at this time is really not a wise decision!" As the National Day was approaching, Beijing was packed with people everywhere. Lin Tian whispered to Zuo Yunfei beside him. Zuo Yunfei smiled wryly: "Lao San, just take it as experiencing Beijing's enthusiasm in advance, by tomorrow, you might understand what 'people mountain people sea' means!"

  Zuo Yunfei and his group set out, which made things difficult for those who were secretly protecting them. However, they were all skilled experts, so it was unlikely that anyone would get lost! "Boss, there are too many people on the street, we're too far apart to effectively protect!" reported one of the high-ranking experts who had been secretly following Zuo's family.

  "Just follow from a distance, Yunfei and the others are quite capable. Even if there's trouble, they can hold out for a while! During National Day, no one dares to make a move with firearms!"

  At such a sensitive moment, using firearms on the streets is completely disregarding the country's authority. The consequences would be unbearable, even for a powerful force like the Left family!

  "Understood, boss!"

  "Master, there are several groups of people following us!" Xiao Ling said in Lin Tian's mind. "Don't worry about them, they should be Zuoyunfei's bodyguards. Xiao Ling, if someone emits strong hostility towards us, can you detect it?" Lin Tian asked.

  "Alright, master, but the range is only within two kilometers. Beyond that, Xiao Ling will be powerless! Although Xiao Ling is a super light brain, it's not specialized in scanning and only has simple scanning functions!"

  Lin Tian nodded slightly: "Two thousand meters is a bit short, but it's almost enough. Most firearms have an effective range of no more than two thousand meters, and some sniper rifles may have a longer effective range, but most shooters won't choose to shoot from that far away. If we get closer, the chances of hitting our target will be much higher!" "Xiao Ling, if you detect strong enemy intent, notify me immediately!" Lin Tian instructed, walking alongside Zuo Yunfei and the others. Lin Tian still felt a sense of insecurity; if an accident were to occur, Zuo Yunfei and the others might be able to dodge with their superior strength, but he was only slightly stronger than an average person, making him more likely to get into trouble!

  "Twenty-eighth one!" Lin Tian silently counted in his heart, they had only been out for half an hour, but the number of people kicked flying by Nangong Yu'er had already reached a staggering twenty-eight! Those swift and ruthless moves left Lin Tian in awe, thinking to himself that even if he were to go up, he would probably end up being kicked flying as well. "Strength, I really need to improve it quickly, otherwise it's too humiliating!" Lin Tian muttered to himself, casting a pitiful glance at the guy who had just been kicked flying - Brother, you can rest on the ground for five minutes, but be careful not to get trampled in this crowded place...

  "Old Three, I'm right, aren't I? We didn't need to lift a finger!" Zuo Yunfei leaned in close to Lin Tian and chuckled. "Be careful that Nan Gong Yuanyu doesn't hear you, she might think you're saying she's violent!" Lin Tian said with a hint of annoyance. Zuo Yunfei's face changed slightly: "Really? Is there anyone who would interpret it that way?"

  "This is extremely understandable!" Lin Tian didn't say it out loud, he didn't want to touch Nangong Yu'er's sore spot.

  "Not far away, on top of a building." "Mr. Yamamoto, if I carry out the task, I won't be able to escape!" A thin middle-aged man in black clothes said through an earpiece, and in front of him was a sniper rifle that had already been assembled! "The Left family, the Zhou family, the Qin family, and the Xiao family have all overextended their reach, and the organization's interests have been damaged. Killing a few young masters from these families is just a warning to them, and it will also be a small surprise for the Chinese government. Heh, at this time, having a bloody incident on the streets will definitely be very lively! The organization will take good care of your family!"

  "Hey!"

  The sniper rifle protruded from the window, its muzzle pointing towards the area where Lin Tian and the others were. "Master, strong enemy intent detected on the left high-rise building, the opponent is using a sniper rifle, aiming at Zhou Yao!" Xiao Ling hastily said in Lin Tian's mind. Lin Tian's face changed, he had already let Xiao Ling detect the abilities of Zhou Yao, Mu Rong Xue, and Qin Ke. From the data, Qin Ke's strength was similar to that of Xiao Bai, slightly stronger than Zuo Yun Fei and Nan Gong Wan Er. Mu Rong Xue's cellular intensity was close to 700, her cellular vitality over 500, and her spiritual power nearly 400, making her strength far surpass that of Xiao Bai and Qin Ke. As for Zhou Yao, she was unexpectedly just an ordinary person, with the only special point being her spiritual power exceeding 100, which was significantly higher than the average of 50 for ordinary people, but still much weaker compared to Qin Ke and the others.

  If the sniper rifle is aimed at Murong Xue and them, Lin Tian wouldn't be worried. With their martial artist instincts, they should be able to sense being targeted. As long as they have that sense, with their abilities, even if they can't completely avoid it, avoiding the vital areas would be no problem at all. But now, the one being aimed at is Zhou Yao. For an ordinary person like her, trying to dodge the sniper rifle's bullets is simply impossible! "Master, enemy hostility rising, about to fire!" All this was said in just an instant, Lin Tian didn't even have time to issue a warning!

  "Zhou Yao, get out of the way!" Lin Tian shouted loudly and quickly knocked Zhou Yao to the ground about two meters in front of him. "Puff!" Lin Tian knew he had been hit, the bullet entering from his back. "Master, I've exhausted 20% of the Two-Dimensional Boundary's power to construct a local defense, weakening the bullet's power by 80%!" Xiao Ling's voice sounded in Lin Tian's mind!

  "Old Three!" Zuo Yunfei saw Lin Tianzhong get shot and let out a loud roar, rushing over to him. Xiao Bai and Wei Feng had already gone ahead by some distance, but when they heard Lin Tian yell at Zhou Yao to dodge, they turned back around. At this moment, they also happened to see the scene of Lin Tian getting hit by the bullet. Both of their faces changed color drastically, and at this point, they couldn't care about hiding or not hiding anymore. With a flash of movement, they blocked the direction from which the bullet was shot. Xiao Bai's right arm was instantly enveloped in a faint layer of pale light, making his entire arm seem like white jade - this was the full-force manifestation of his White Jade Hand technique!

  His entire body's vital energy was already mobilized, when suddenly, Xiao Bai's right hand transformed into countless phantasmagoric shadows and flashed out like lightning. A muffled boom exploded from Xiao Bai's hand, and he stumbled back a step, his face deathly pale. His tightly clenched right hand seeped out several strands of blood! He had actually used his bare palm to catch a sniper bullet in mid-air!

  Not far away, several groups of people who were secretly following Lin Tian and his group saw that they had been ambushed, their faces changed drastically. Some people rushed over quickly, while others rushed to the building where the bullets came from!

  The third bullet also came, but was deflected by a soft sword drawn from Murong Xue's waist and flew into the air! Deflecting this bullet also made her face change slightly, but her strength was much stronger than Xiao Bai's, and she didn't get hurt! The martial arts were so strong that they could deflect bullets, which made the terrified crowd around them shocked beyond measure!

  Three bullets were fired, and then no more bullets were fired. Apparently, the sniper had either surrendered or seen that things couldn't go on and had taken his own life to meet God!

  "An ambulance!" shouted Zuo Yunfei as he sealed off several of Lin Tian's acupoints and poured all his internal energy into Lin Tian's body!

  Very soon, Lin Tian was lifted onto an ambulance and sent to the hospital. Li Yunfei and the others naturally followed him to the hospital. As for the situation at the scene, they didn't need to deal with it. In short, although the shooting incident occurred, Lin Tian did not see any reports about this incident afterwards.

  Zuo Jia, Zuo Yunfei's father Zuo Guoqiang was enraged, "Find out which faction is behind this!"

  "Boss, not yet. The gunman committed suicide and there's nothing on him that reveals his identity. The sniper rifle he used is also a common international model!" A man in a black suit beside Zuo Guoqiang said respectfully. "Can we find out who the person was?"

  "The gunman died by injecting a strong corrosive needle, and when our people arrived, the body had almost corroded away, making it impossible to determine his appearance. We are currently searching for relevant information in the international gene bank, but I estimate that the chances of finding relevant information are not high!"

  Zuo Guoqiang nodded, he also knew that for a gunman like this, walking in the dark, the possibility of entering genetic information into the international genetic database was extremely small. "Xiao Tian, what about the boy who was shot? This time it's thanks to him, otherwise the anger of the Zhou family would not be easy to bear, after all, the main protection personnel are still our Zuo family!" Zuo Guoqiang's expression softened a bit.

  "That boy," Lü Xiao Tian furrowed his brow, "Boss, that boy didn't receive a fatal injury, but it's strange. With the power of that sniper rifle bullet, not to mention just shooting through one person, even if it shot through two people, it shouldn't be a problem at all. But somehow, it only penetrated two inches into the boy's back. And he's just an ordinary person, how could he have discovered that Zhou Ya was locked onto by the sniper rifle before those martial artists did?!"

  Zuo Guoqiang smiled slightly: "Xiao Tian, do you still think that child is just an ordinary person? In this vast land of China, there are many extraordinary people. He should have some special skills too!"

  "Boss, shall we put him under surveillance?"

  Zuo Guoqiang shook his head: "No need, he has helped us a lot this time. If that's the case, it would be somewhat ungrateful. Moreover, if he can detect the threat of a sniper rifle from a thousand meters away, do you think he won't notice our secret surveillance? Yunfei and he have a good relationship, with him around, Yunfei is much safer!"

  ……

  The bullet was quickly removed from Lin Tian's body, and fortunately, it wasn't coated with a potent poison, or else Lin Tian would have been in big trouble! As for Xiao Bai's hand, it was just a minor injury, and after applying some medicine and bandaging it up, he was good as new. With his internal energy, that small wound would heal completely in no more than two days!

  "Lao San, you scared me to death! That's a sniper rifle, not some small handgun. How could you be so stupid?!" Zuo Yunfei sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Lin Tian who was lying on his back with fear and said. "The situation was urgent at that time, how could I think of all that?" Lin Tian smiled bitterly. If it wasn't for Xiao Ling's emergency use of her last two dimensional powers to form a local defense shield, he wouldn't be lying in this hospital bed right now, but rather in the morgue! The Star Ring's three chances of resurrection were only applicable when Lin Tian was in the Star Realm, but in the real world, if you died, that was it!

  "Lin Tian, thank you!" Zhou Yao said softly while peeling an apple for Lin Tian, her eyes revealing a hint of affection.

  "What a great opportunity for a heroic rescue, and it just so happens to be you, little guy! Old Three, how did you know there was a sniper aiming at Zhou Yao? And besides, the sniper's bullet only penetrated two inches into your body, tsk tsk!" Zuo Yunfei chuckled. Lin Tiandao said: "It's intuition, sixth sense, you know? My skin is too thick, the sniper rifle can't penetrate it!"

  Zuo Yunfei rolled his eyes: "Still got a sixth sense?"

  Xiao Bai suddenly said, "Old Three, did you cultivate a defensive technique and now it's broken?" Xiao Bai felt that Lin Tian's body was completely devoid of power at this moment, his muscles were soft, let alone sniper rifle bullets, even a sharp stone could pierce through. "I guess so, but give me some time, I can still recover!" Lin Tian nodded slightly.

  Lin Tian's heart was bleeding. Originally, his boundary power was only two-dimensional, but now it had completely disappeared, and he couldn't even heal his wounds!
