Chapter 199 The Longyuan Sword that Illuminates the Dark Night
At night, the cold wind was howling around the Tibetan Frontier, and the air pressure was extremely low, making people feel quite uncomfortable.
The place where Liu Feng was headed for, was located in the southwest of the Tibetan Frontier. The terrain there was quite rugged, as the mountains were covered with plateaus of old-growth forests, which moonlight could hardly penetrate. Occasionally, regions covered with snow could slightly reflect a bit of daylight. However, more snow would make it riskier to walk around, for snow mainly accumulated in low-lying areas. One could not tell how deep it was below the snow.
In such a harsh environment, Liu Feng walked for nearly two hours, alone and fully-armed. At the moment, a clear voice came out from the hidden earpiece in his right ear. “Chief Liu Feng, you have already entered the war zone. There is a mercenary squad camping in front of you, about 350 meters away.”
Liu Feng leaned against a short tree and looked around his surroundings. Despite his vast experience, it still took Liu Feng a long time to discover a well-hidden mini monitor on a tree, diagonally opposite.
Uninhabited though this place was all year around, the military of Celestial Empire had made every effort to set up a Skynet, all over the area.
Liu Feng raised his hand to his right ear and whispered, “How many people are there in the campsite?”
“The exact number is not known yet, because their campsite is beyond our watch range and we are only able to observe a corner of the campsite,” the clear voice rose again from the earpiece. Apparently, it was a female soldier who was communicating with Liu Feng.
“Okay, copy that.”
Liu Feng climbed up a tree, with the agility of a civet cat, and took out a big sniper rifle from his back.
Through the sniper telescopic lens, Liu Feng saw more than ten simple matching tents in a dark and dense row, about 300 meters away. The tents were arranged in a triangular formation, with sentries guarding each side.
Liu Feng checked his watch, which had luminous pointers. It was after one o’clock in the morning, but outside the mercenary camp more than 300 meters away, none of the sentries showed any signs of tiredness .
“This Hindian Asan mercenary squad is not bad. They are a professional team. No one is smoking and there are no lights on,” Liu Feng commented to himself. Then pressing on his right ear, he asked, “Any message regarding the sixth generation of Heavenly Sword?”
“Chief, the sixth generation of Heavenly Sword has already split up and are out of the Skynet range. We can’t locate them now. I’ll inform you once we find out where they are,” the female soldier said.
“OK!” Liu Feng replied. His eyebrows suddenly furrowed just as he was about to put away his sniper.
Through the telescopic sight, Liu Feng was a woman bursting out from a Hindian Asan mercenary tent.
Yes, a woman. She was wearing a skin-tight sweater and a pair of long johns, and her hair was disheveled. Her long, fair legs were partly exposed in the long johns, which had been ripped apart.
Then, two topless Hindian Asans dashed from the tent. Both were quite strong, and one of them had whiskers. They grabbed the woman’s arms to drag her back in.
“Let.. me... go, you... bastards...”
The woman was struggling hard and screaming loudly. Although they were more than 300 meters away and from against the wind, Liu Feng could still hear her voice, with his keen hearing.
“Chinese, that woman is speaking Chinese, maybe she’s not Tibetan.”
Liu Feng quickly mounted a silencer onto the sniper muzzle. “No matter Han or Tibetan, she’s Chinese either way. It’s your time to die for trespassing on our Chinese territory, and insulting a Celestial woman.”
Puff!
In an instant, Liu Feng pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the bullet shot out of the sniper chamber, from 350 meters away. The Hindian Asan grabbing the woman suddenly went stiff and flopped to the ground.
“Ganda, why are you... dead? Enemy attack!”
At first, the one with whiskers thought his partner had been accidentally tripped by him. But he suddenly realized that there was blood oozing out from the middle of his forehead. He had been shot in the head!
“Enemy attack!”
Hearing the whiskered man’s loud roar, some of the others in the other tents came running out.
However, Liu Feng, who was hidden in the tree, began to pull the trigger continuously. The sound of the bullets leaving the chamber, was completely masked by the sound of the wind blowing strongly along the Tibetan Frontier.
The bewhiskered man was shot in the head, and fell on the ground before he could yell “Enemy attack” again.
The mercenaries who rushed out of other tents were hit by bullets successively. In less than fifteen seconds, eight men were already downed by bullets.
“He’s at our seven o’clock direction, take cover and shoot back, everyone.”
“Watch out, everyone. They might have more than one sniper. Otherwise, it’s impossible for one single sniper to shoot so fast and continuously, and with such overwhelming firepower.”
“Come on, shoot at the seven o’clock direction.”
The reactions of the Hindian Asans’ were not slow. After losing eight men at one time, they started to retaliate.
They were totally spot on about Liu Feng’s location. After all, Liu Feng had made eight successive shots from one spot. The Hindian Asans did not deserve to be called mercenaries if they could not trace the enemy’s position.
However, Liu Feng had already jumped off the tree, and gone towards another direction, carrying his sniper, when they began to strike back.
In the Asans’ campsite, a hail of bullets burst forth.
Three minutes later, the Asans’ shots finally stopped. A thin smog rose from the campsite, in the darkness.
Puff, puff, puff!
Before the Asans could react, several sniper bullets had flown towards them from a new direction.
An Asan who was observing the area with a single-tube night vision telescope, was hit directly in the temple.
“No, another sniper... ah!” An Asan, carrying an AK47, was hit and lost the top of his skull, the moment he uttered a warning.
“No, the sniper is not at the seven, he—”
“Guys, take cover. We may have met—”
Two Hindian Asans were trying to talk and warn their companions. But they were both shot dead, before they could finish their words.
“Damn, who the hell is the sniper we encountered?”
One short man in the squad, who was hiding behind a big rock, said seriously, “Bros, we seem to have come across a special-forces soldier from Celestial Empire, who is not any ordinary soldier. We shall retreat and meet with Big Boss now.”
“OK, let’s retreat. It was not wise of us to enter this country so openly, in the first place.”
“What was Big Boss thinking that time? Hindia is inferior to Celestial Empire in economics and particularly in military warfare. Why did we have to illegally provoke such a big giant?”
“What do you know? Big Boss could get benefits abundant enough for us to take risks. Let’s meet with Big Boss first.”
These Hindian Asan mercenaries were all having cold feet at the moment. Though consisting of over 30 men, the squad had lost nearly half of them, after Liu Feng’s two strikes. It was no wonder that they were losing the courage to fight back.
As for the innocent woman, she was squatting, with both hands covering her head, screaming without stopping.
No one would paid the slightest attention to such an insignificant woman. The Asans dared not get up and walk in the open. Instead, they turned around, and crawled back into the woods behind their camp.
“Retreat? Do you think you can leave?”
Liu Feng switched his position once more, and after two shifts, he was 30 meters away from the mercenary campsite.
Yes, a distance of more than 300 meters, was super easy for Liu Feng to move, even when he was trying to move under cover, instead of moving at full speed.
“Let’s get up and retreat, back to back.”
“One, two, three... go!”
The Asan mercenaries retreated for some distance, crawling on all fours. When they got close to the woods, they all stood up together, and started shouting out slogans.
In pairs, they began to retreat back to back, looking quite disciplined.
However, a black shadow ran into the dark shadows, and quietly appeared on the left of those men. At this point, Liu Feng was less than ten meters from the Hindian Asans.
It was hard to imagine how Liu Feng had managed to sneak so close to the mercenaries, without being discovered.
“Haven’t you ever heard that mercenaries aren’t allowed to be in Celestial Empire? Now that you’re all here, then you can stay for good.”
Liu Feng’s voice suddenly rang out. He jumped out of the dark, no longer bothering to hide himself. Then he held up a M20 submachine gun, and pulled the trigger, without hesitation.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
Within such a short distance, dazzling light was made by the friction of the submachine gun, which raked around, with the bullets leaving the gun chamber at a rapid pace.
The shadow of Liu Feng’s handsome, sharp and angular face, painted with camouflage, flickered in the light of the fire.
“Ah! A man!”
“That’s impossible. So many of us were killed by one man alone... Ah!”
“I can’t accept it—”
Nearly ten more men among the Asans, were killed by Liu Feng’s spray shots.
The remaining six or seven men quickly dispersed, and three of them suffered varying injuries.
“Run? Since you were bold enough to cause trouble in Celestial Empire, you should all be prepared to enjoy a long sleep in this land.”
Liu Feng continued to shoot with his right hand, and simultaneously pulled out a pistol from his waist, with his left hand. Then he swung his arm and shot toward the woods, almost without looking.
Bang!
After sparks flew out of the muzzle, an Asan, who had just rushed behind a big tree, suddenly straightened his back, and blood started flowing out.
Bang!
Another shot was fired, and another Asan was shot and fell heavily, as he was climbing up a tree.
Another two were reduced from the seven, oh no, another four reduced, as two more Asans were shot into bits by Liu Feng’s spray shots.
That was not all. After killing these four, Liu Feng put the machine gun away and disappeared in a flash.
Thirty seconds later, Liu Feng appeared from behind a tree, with a Hindian Asan, whose lips were trembling violently, standing next to him.
Puff!
This Asan’s fear had reached the peak, and suddenly there was a cold feeling in his neck, and then he could not feel anything anymore.
Five seconds later, an Asan with an injured leg, was struggling to run forward. But a sudden gun shot had him frozen to the spot.
Shortly, he felt his chest burning. He raised his hand to touch it and looked down, and then was totally startled. “Blood, why is my chest bleeding. Am I...”
Thump!
The Asan suddenly passed out and fell to the ground in no time, even before he finished his sentence.
One minute later, Liu Feng returned to the Hindian campsite. He was carrying an injured Hindian Asan in his hands. This was the last man alive in the campsite.
The mercenary squad containing over 30 men had been wiped out solely by Liu Feng. Liu Feng, member of the last generation of Heavenly Sword, was a Longyuan Sword, illuminating the dark night. With his skill, he manifested the power of the Celestial soldiers and protected the sacredness and inviolability of his homeland.
