CHAPTER 728: CHAPTER 438: COUNTERATTACK

One shot hit, and Lin Zeyu thought he had taken one down and was ready to boast in the communication channel.

At that moment, the Invisible Assassin who had been shot suddenly erupted with a burst of blood. The flesh and blood that splattered out seemed to be pulled by some force, contracting back into his wound, congealing into a mass that blocked the bloody hole in his chest.

Seeing this, Lin Zeyu widened his eyes, showing a surprised expression.

This blood seal is a life-preserving skill of the Bloodline Clan. It cannot heal the wound, but it can use congealed blood to block the ruptured vessels.

The wound no longer bleeding means the life is temporarily saved.

Moreover, this skill has a pain suppression effect, allowing the Caster to continue fighting with the injury.

This is also a major characteristic of Bloodline Demons; as long as they are not completely killed, there is a chance of a counterattack, and their combat power does not decrease much even when severely injured.

This assassin, possessing the skills of the Bloodline Clan, did not retreat after sealing his wound. Instead, he transformed into an invisible blood shadow and pounced again toward Su Muyu.

He had already charged within 300 meters of Su Muyu and accelerated once more, able to burst into attack range in an instant.

Lin Zeyu noticed the assassin was not dead and immediately shouted a warning: "Be careful!"

Clang!

The assassin’s right hand ejected the Blood-sucking Fist Blade, using a supersonic assassination skill, aimed at Su Muyu’s throat.

Just half a meter away from Su Muyu’s throat, a hand appeared before him.

This hand spread its five fingers open, allowing the Blood-sucking Fist Blade to slip through, then clutched his fist.

Bang!

A hand and fist collided, a supersonic clash erupted with a thunderous sound.

The assassin tried to use a skill to attack, but Lu Heng gave him no chance. Lu Heng squeezed with his right hand, a "crack" sounding as he crushed the assassin’s hand bones, then burst with a circle of Thunder and Lightning, infusing it into his body.

Chirrr...

The frenzied lightning struck directly at the assassin, rendering all his cells paralyzed. His blood boiled under the scorching lightning.

His skin began to carbonize, exuding a burnt stench.

This assassin was too arrogant, as an assassin, he should not have been the first to charge into enemy formations to hunt the perceiver.

A qualified assassin should have let other melee superpower users and ranged fighters initiate attacks, then strike amidst the chaos, killing the perceiver with one hit.

Once the perceiver was successfully killed, the rest would be his personal show.

Tonight, those ambushed here were the most powerful superpower users in the ASE Alliance. Each one released would be a formidable presence that nations feared.

Combined with the terrifying explosion just now, which should have killed Lu Heng.

As a result, when making his move, this assassin believed that he alone could handle the remaining three targets.

If Lu Heng was already dead in the explosion, and if he were stronger, this possibility might exist.

Because perceivers, snipers, and Spirit Mind Masters, these three reinforced routes of superpower users, all feared assassins.

Perceivers, although able to scout the assassin’s position, need to invest a lot of resources in perception skills. In a face-to-face encounter of the same level, a perceiver cannot withstand the assassin’s assault.

Therefore, the assassin’s initial strategy was reasonable. He merely needed to kill the perceiver, leaving the sniper and Spirit Mind Master as prey he could play with at will.

It was just that Lin Zeyu’s ability far exceeded his expectations, directly hitting him during his charge.

Since the assassin’s movement speed broke the sound barrier, he had long since disregarded bullets, for bullets couldn’t catch up with him, let alone hit accurately.

Under normal circumstances, hitting a supersonic state superpower user with bullets is more difficult than a machine gun sweeping a supersonic fighter.

The assassin’s strategy was reasonable but underestimated the opponent’s strength this time.

...

After the assassin’s surprise attack failed, five more ambushing superpower users charged.

The fastest was a black man, who spread steel wings and swooped down towards Lu Heng, hurling his shield like a weapon.

The revolving shield churned up a storm, crashing towards Lu Heng.

Lu Heng lifted a hand and tossed the assassin away, then drew his sword and slashed out.

Clang!

A fierce sword light cleaved down from above, slicing the assassin along with the shield into two halves. The sword light left behind formed into a Rift Wind Dragon, surging towards the black man in mid-air.

Wind Dragon rolled up thousands of Rift Wind Blades, instantly slicing the black man into molecular-level fragments.

Immediately following.

The second flying brown-haired white man arrived, cloaked in lightning, preparing to strike.

But in the next instant, "Bang!" A gunshot rang out, a bloody hole burst open in his chest, and before he could even scream, he plummeted from mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, three of the six ambushing high-rank superpower users were dead.

Seeing the situation go awry, the remaining three halted their blind advance and began to switch to defense.

At that moment.

Su Muyu loudly warned, "Rockets incoming! Take cover!"

As his warning sounded, everyone in the team already saw the rocket trails appearing in the sky, and it wasn’t just one.

Dozens of rocket trails appeared in the sky, shooting like meteors towards their position.

Lu Heng’s gaze sharpened, and he quickly said, "Take cover! Beware of superpower users with terminal guidance."

From the flight path of the rockets, one could generally discern that these rockets were medium-range, likely launched from 50 to 60 kilometers away.

Launching dozens of medium-range rockets at once meant at least five or six rocket launch vehicles were ambushed.
