Jas touched the blood flowing from his head, feeling a lingering fear.
He never expected Ye Zhongming could so easily withstand Zuo Jinxuan's ten thousand swords rush to the sect, and he definitely didn't anticipate that Ye Zhongming would launch another attack on him, this time with a gun!
At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of Anman’s recent death.
That gunshot was powerful beyond measure!
At Jas's level, the threat posed by firearms was gradually diminishing. Even when he first evolved to seven-star, he had deliberately tested it. Ordinary firearms, even with concentrated fire, wouldn't turn him into a sieve; he could even counterattack while taking bullets, without relying on skills or bloodlines.
Only silver bullets posed a significant threat when he couldn't dodge. It was only when paired with firearms of at least white-level that he would genuinely take it seriously.
He originally thought that at such a close distance, Ye Zhongming wouldn't have the chance to fire again, but Ye Zhongming was simply too fast. Jas barely had any reaction time before being struck by a bullet.
Fortunately, he had a piece of bulletproof equipment—an item called the Mirror Substitute—which could resist rapidly approaching projectiles. Just now, this equipment activated, halting the bullet.
However, it was only a white-level piece of equipment and was destroyed in an instant. The bullet still grazed the side of Jas's head, leaving a wound.
If it had hit directly, even if Jas relied on his strong seven-star evolver body to survive, he would likely suffer a severe concussion or even lose consciousness.
Then, his opponent could easily finish him off with another shot, taking his life.
For the first time, this seven-star evolver felt how close death could be.
He had to use another piece of protective equipment, the Swirling Barrier. A massive shield made up of countless tiny whirlwinds surrounded Jas, preparing for a potential second attack from Ye Zhongming.
The green sniper rifle, combined with the bullets and an unknown shooting skill, even intimidated a seven-star evolver.
Everything happened very quickly. Ye Zhongming merely glanced over and immediately switched targets. The muzzle of his gun turned slightly, and a bullet was fired, heading straight for the gasping Zuo Jinxuan, who had just used her ten thousand swords rush to the sect.
Still using muzzle space folding and the initial velocity of the sniper rifle, once the gun fired, the bullet almost reached the emotionally lacking seven-star evolver in an instant.
Zuo Jinxuan saw Jas fall and naturally understood what was happening. When she saw the gun aimed at her, she immediately sprang into action. At the same time, her soft sword rapidly danced around her body, creating shining sword lights. The difference this time was that these sword lights moved at an incredibly fast speed, completely shielding her.
When the bullet came, it collided with these sword lights, producing a shower of sparks.
Zuo Jinxuan's eyes flashed with horror. She knew that the bullets capable of killing Anman and injuring Jas would be incredibly powerful, but she never imagined they would be this powerful!
The sword lights protecting her were actually a professional skill, called—Repelling Enemies Outside. It was a great defensive ability, although it consumed a small amount of mental energy over time. Once activated to block an attack, it would expend mental energy based on the strength of the incoming attack.
However, after that last hit, Zuo Jinxuan felt a warmth in her nose. Then, warm liquid began to flow down—her mental energy experienced a significant shock and depletion, causing her to bleed!
If she hadn’t had protection… Zuo Jinxuan shuddered at the thought of what could have happened if that bullet had hit a vital area.
After two shots, having intimidated the two seven-stars, Ye Zhongming's body began to fall, and Ji Rui Guang's dagger attack was initiated.
The C-zone commander’s eyes were red; Ye Zhongming had severely hindered his plans, and he could only kill him now.
