Volume 1 Chapter 335 Sniper Rifle

Xiang Yun's tone was very serious. After hearing it, the three of them couldn't help but put away their playful attitude and take it seriously.

They all went to carry out their respective tasks, leading a large number of Fire Cloud Army.

Xiang Yun's mind was always on the surrounding environment. This place was only five miles away from the Eight Gods Temple, and there was a high possibility that there were disciples of the Eight Gods Temple circling around.

If they were discovered before the Fire Cloud Army attacked, although it would not have much impact on the battle situation, by then the number of Eight Gods Temple disciples that could be killed by the Great Sun Cannon would be much less.

This battle was caught off guard. Everyone was filled with deep hatred, so who cared about the moral code of the underworld?

The Huoyun Army's mortar unit, led by Qin Su, was rapidly approaching the Yashen Temple. This mortar, developed by Peng Ying in the arsenal, had a range of three to fifteen kilometers. Logically speaking, the current distance was already within the range.

However, Qin Su needed to lead his troops to find an open firing range to prevent the shells from being intercepted midway and failing to cover the Yashen Temple in all directions.

Behind him followed the artillery unit of the Great Sun Cannon, which was in charge of Jiang Yue. The Great Sun Cannon was heavy and could not be moved quickly. In addition, this place was mountainous and steep, so the transportation was very slow.

Unable to increase their speed, the breathing of these Fire Cloud Army soldiers became rapid and they were very nervous. After all, a big war was about to begin, so how could they not be excited?

In the woods on both sides of the two teams were many soldiers holding large Japanese rifles with sniper scopes. Each of them was a sharpshooter in the army, and they had all been through a rigorous selection process to be able to get a sniper rifle.

If these one million Fire Cloud Army are the elite of all the Fire Cloud Army in the Dayun Empire, then their sniper team is the elite among the elite.

At the forefront of all the troops, Xuanyuan Dabing was holding the precious Xuanxin Hammer and constantly looking around, then moving forward to clear the way for all the troops.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by a hundred meters ahead and quickly disappeared into the forest.

Xuanyuan Dabing's cultivation was much higher than those soldiers, and he was walking in the front, so they didn't see it, but Xuanyuan Dabing saw it. He raised his eyebrows, and immediately put the Xuanxin Hammer into the Sumeru Ring, then quickened his pace and chased after the black shadow.

The sniper team soldiers behind him saw Xuanyuan Dabing continuing to run forward without saying a word, and they immediately knew what was going on. They activated their Taixu Qi one by one and chased after him together.

Xuanyuan Dabing was very fast and soon approached the figure. When he saw the figure clearly, he couldn't help but smile. Then he slowly took out the sniper rifle from his back and started aiming!

The black shadow was a bald lama about thirty years old, wearing an orange-yellow robe. Seeing him in such a place and with such an appearance, he must be a person from the Eight Gods Temple.

The lama looked panicked. He ran forward and looked back, afraid that someone would catch up with him.

So many troops suddenly appeared on the mountain, their plan must be to attack their Ba Shen Temple. He must go back immediately to inform the elders in Ba Shen Temple and let them know so that they can prepare to meet the enemy.

The Eight Gods Temple has been standing for so many years, and it is not the first time that it has been attacked by enemy forces, but without exception, no one has been able to gain the upper hand. As long as the elders and the master of the temple know about this, these people will definitely not be able to cause any waves!

The lama was thinking this in his heart when suddenly a gunshot was heard!

“Bang!”

As soon as the Lama heard the sound, a strong wind blew and the back of his head felt cold. A bullet instantly pierced through his brain. The terrifying impact force of the bullet caused his fragile head to crack, and his brain and blood splattered all over the ground. His body fell down while he was running so fast, and he rolled a few times before he became motionless.

One thousand meters away, Xuanyuan Dabing put away his sniper rifle with a smile on his face, obviously very satisfied with the accuracy and power of the shot he just shot.

The bullets used by this sniper rifle were specially made according to Xiang Yun's order. They were engraved with a spirit gathering formation and a similar propulsion formation. Both formations were obtained from the Taixu Fairyland. With the assistance of these two formations, when the bullets are fired, ordinary cultivators will find it difficult to resist. They are enough to pose a life threat to cultivators in the Tengyun Realm and barely harm cultivators in the Huiyang Realm.

It’s a pity that this kind of bullet is difficult to mass-produce and the quantity is very scarce. Only the sniper unit has this privilege. The rest of the ordinary Huoyun Army still uses ordinary bullets.

Soon the sniper troops caught up, and two of them rushed to the Lama's body to check it, and then returned to report: "General, he is dead."

Xuanyuan Dabing nodded and said, "Well, keep moving forward. Everyone, pay attention. People from the Eight Gods Temple may appear around at any time. Once they are found, they must be shot and killed in the first place. They must not be let go!"

"Yes!" Everyone agreed, then immediately dispersed and continued to move forward.

A gunshot rang out in the mountains and forests. Not only could it be heard by all the soldiers of the Fire Cloud Army, but also by those in the Eight Gods Temple.

Many people frowned and looked up at the sky, obviously wondering how such a sound came from and who made it.

As the distance was too far and there was only one sound, it was difficult for them to determine the direction. So although they were confused, they had no choice but to let it go.

As time went by, fortunately Xuanyuan Dabing and the others had a smooth journey, and they never encountered any disciples of the Yagamis Temple along the way. Soon, the Great Sun Cannon and mortars were all deployed, and their range covered the entire Yagamis Temple. As long as an order was given, the entire Yagamis Temple would explode instantly, engulfed in a sea of fire, and the power of the shells would destroy everything.

Soon Jiang Yue and Qin Su sent soldiers on horseback to report that everything was ready and they were just waiting for Xiang Yun to give the order to attack.

Xiang Yun never relaxed his attention. The speed of Qin Su and the other two's actions and their strategic deployment were so smooth. If they were not well-trained in their daily lives, they would definitely not be so well-organized on the battlefield.

Moreover, they were really lucky this time. They were not discovered first, which gave them the best opportunity for an ambush. If they were late, something might happen. Xiang Yun directly ordered: "All troops, attack, fight to the death. Anyone who is stingy with shells or is slow to act will be charged with treason!"

"Yes!" The two soldiers agreed, and then hurried back to report, with excited smiles on their faces.

Ten minutes later, endless gunfire suddenly erupted in the silent forest!

“Boom boom boom!”

The entire area of the Eight Gods Temple was instantly submerged in artillery fire. Countless temples and buildings were shattered and reduced to ruins. A raging fire broke out and continued to rage inside.

The speed of the shells was very fast. Many lamas in the Eight Gods Temple had just heard the sound when a shell fell beside them and exploded. The lamas' souls were still in a daze while their bodies had already broken into hundreds of pieces.

The structure of the buildings in the Eight Gods Temple is very complex. It is divided into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, and further into the deacons' courtyard and the elders' courtyard. The main courtyard where the master of the temple lives also has a martial arts hall, a lecture pool, a scripture pavilion, an alchemy room... and so on. It has all the facilities and houses that a force should have, and even more.

There are hundreds of years old towering trees in the temple, colorful flowers in full bloom, and even magical herbs and herbs that are about to mature.
