A gust of wind, carrying yellow sand, swept over the land, giving Long Chi's surprise attack a greater advantage.

Jin Gang recognized Feng Longwei immediately and charged forward first.

Feng Longwei's fists trembled as he fixed his gaze on Jin Gang and shouted, "Well met!"

Jin Gang's feet moved in the Soaring Dragon Step, his robust body displaying an unexpected agility as he threw a punch toward Feng Longwei's head.

A flicker of surprise passed through Feng Longwei's eyes as he felt the oppressive force of the punch. Twisting his waist, his power instantly gathered in his right arm as he lifted it horizontally upward to block Jin Gang's fist.

Jin Gang felt as though his fist had struck an iron plate, the recoil forcing him to stagger back several steps. Feng Longwei's body also swayed slightly.

"No wonder you've been able to defeat two units in a row, this year's Long Chi really is different from past years." A fighting spirit surged in Feng Longwei's eyes as he peered through the swirling sand at Jin Gang, his voice carrying a hint of amazement.

Jin Gang's arm muscles relaxed and then tensed again. From their brief exchange, he clearly sensed that the opponent was stronger than him. If it weren't for the martial techniques and footwork taught to him by Li Xiaoyao, he might indeed have had difficulty standing against him.

On the other side, Old Zhou and Ah Hua were surrounded by four members of Long Chi. Although the pair was stronger than their adversaries, if it came to one-on-one fights, they could claim an easy victory, but facing two at once, they seemed at a disadvantage.

From appearances, Canglang Unit seemed to be getting suppressed.

Ye Chu, keeping a close eye on the battlefield from afar, immediately said into his tiny earpiece, "Big Cannon, Little Ji, take action!"

As his words fell, nine figures emerged from both sides of the battlefield, armed and advancing swiftly towards the combat zone.

Seeing this, Jin Gang let out a low roar, "Brothers, take action!"

Almost at the same moment, as those nine had just entered the fray, Long Chi members who had been lying in ambush in the desert sprang up from the ground, guns or weapons in hand, encircling the nine.

Ye Chu squinted, issuing orders with calm precision, "Gunmen on both sides, get ready, open fire!"

Four members holding pistols dropped to one knee, aiming their barrels at the Long Chi members, and with the sound of "da da da," bullets flew towards Long Chi's members.

Hearing the gunfire, the members of Long Chi felt their hairs stand on end.

"They have guns, they've got guns!"

"Dammit, we've already taken the munitions pack, where the hell did they get guns from?"

The Long Chi members felt panic; although they too had firearms and had made many preparations before, even if they were currently facing their enemies head-on, they hadn't felt discouraged and had become more fierce as the battle went on. All this confidence came from Li Xiaoyao, from their consecutive victories over two units, and most importantly, from the guns in their hands.

However, now that they saw the Canglang Unit also had firearms, their firm will showed the first sign of cracking.

"Damn it, fight!" Jin Gang clashed fists with Feng Longwei, and after staggering back several steps, he cursed aloud and flicked his gaze towards Mu Tou in hiding, signaling him to shoot.

"Bang!"

The sound of the sniper rifle rang out, and a member of Canglang Unit fell to the ground.

This shot was not meant to take the member's life. The bullet pierced through his thigh, crippling his ability to move. This bullet also inflicted fear, deterring him from making any rash moves.

The deterrent force of the sniper rifle was far greater than that of a pistol, letting the members of Canglang Unit know that the Long Chi they faced was no longer the ineffective unit of the past but a terrifying force with a potent threat.

"A sniper rifle? Do you really think you're the only ones who have one?" Ye Chu snorted lightly and spoke softly into the headset, "Hei She, fire!"

Hei She had aimed at Jin Gang from the moment the latter appeared. He knew that this bulky figure was the strongest in Long Chi. If he could take him down first, Long Chi would be essentially finished. As for Long Chi's instructor, who had yet to show himself, he wasn't likely to be much of a tough character. Ye Chu was confident he could handle him.

The battle, on the surface, seemed evenly matched between Long Chi and Canglang Unit, but in reality, it didn't seem as strong as one might imagine.

Hei She's right index finger gently squeezed the trigger.

"Bang!"

The silver bullet fired from the barrel, the casing flying out to land on the sand, its searing heat making some grains jump. Through the special optical scope, the sharp-eyed Hei She saw the swirling trail the bullet created as it spun through the air. In just the blink of an eye, the bullet was to penetrate Jin Gang's head with unerring accuracy, bringing forth a spray of red and white and thereby pronouncing his death.

However, the imagined scene didn't occur. A man appeared out of nowhere in front of Jin Gang, like a ghostly apparition.

Hei She rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen wrong. But when he looked through the scope again, there was indeed another man in front of Jin Gang.

And that sniper bullet was eerily suspended in the air right in front of the man. Everything was as if time had stopped.

Li Xiaoyao's initial purpose was no different; he certainly intended for them to undergo rigorous training and tempering, but he was also absolutely committed to ensuring their safety.

This was what he had promised Cheng Dongliang, and he couldn't go back on his word.

The instant the gunshot sounded, Li Xiaoyao moved, his speed so fast it was almost like teleportation.

Li Xiaoyao stood in front of Jin Gang, looking up in the direction of Hei She.

Through the scope, Hei She met Li Xiaoyao's gaze and saw the intense killing intent in those indifferent eyes, making him shiver uncontrollably and quickly retract his head.

"F*ck!" Hei She's chest heaved, and he breathed heavily, his eyes full of fear, "Is this guy even human? To stop a sniper bullet mid-air! Even the instructor can't do that, right? And, why do I find this guy so familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before?"

Hei She wanted to take another look at Li Xiaoyao's face, but the thought of those eyes filled with dense killing intent made him wilt.

Because of Hei She's gunshot, everyone's attention was drawn, but when they looked over, they saw no one had fallen. Instead, they found an extra man in front of Jin Gang, the most bizarre aspect being that a finger-sized silver bullet spun rapidly in front of this man, but no matter how much it spun, it couldn't move any further.

The sight left the members of the Canglang Unit utterly startled.

Just what kind of immense power was needed to create such a scene?

Li Xiaoyao reached out with two fingers, pinched the bullet, and casually tossed it to the ground. Then he turned his head and looked at Feng Longwei, who was full of shock, and said indifferently, "Concede, and I'll spare your life."

In the distance upon a sand dune, Ye Chu's mind churned like raging waves.

Beside him, Blood Rose's red lips parted slightly, her eyes full of fear.

Cheng Yiyi covered her small mouth in disbelief.

"Li Xiaoyao, it's him. What's he doing here?"
