Chapter 88 The White Lotus Curse
There is great terror between life and death.
Even the most elite cult fanatics, who were steadfast and devout in their faith in the evil god and had undergone numerous trials, were utterly terrified after paying a 90% casualty rate.
No gods, no afterlife, no supernatural beings can suppress life's fear of death.
The last nine cultivators of the Heavenly Principle Sect eventually lost their minds and turned to flee, only to die from being shot in the back of the head.
The gunfire ceased, but a chilling aura spread to every corner of the secret realm, making everyone feel terrified and even causing their legs to tremble.
More than a hundred elite members of the Heavenly Principle Sect were killed, and the sect's Grand Protector was completely breached.
His face was grim, and he sternly rebuked, "Left Protector! Grand Protector! Our Heavenly Principle Sect has truly suffered a defeat. Don't you two families have anything to offer in return?"
This is a blatant threat!
However, once a great protector becomes isolated, he loses his vulnerability and can easily undermine the Sun Moon Holy Sect and the White Lotus Sect, causing their complete annihilation.
Left Protector said helplessly, "The followers of the Sun Moon Holy Sect killed that sharpshooter!"
The Grand Protector also commanded, "My fellow members of the White Lotus Sect, have you all seen that?"
"Unless we take down that sharpshooter from the Imperial Guard, everyone will be in constant danger of being shot by him."
"Rather than let him kill us from behind, we should charge in head-on and take him down first!"
The cult members admitted that the three great protectors made sense.
Thus, with cultivators from the White Lotus Sect and the Sun Moon Holy Sect as the main force, more than two hundred heretical cultivators gathered and launched an attack on Chang Yuan and Gao Su.
Faced with the surging crowd, Gao Su's face turned pale. He took out all the palm grenades he was carrying and neatly stacked them at his feet.
Chang Yuan remained calm and even joked with a smile: "Gao Su, have you noticed that we are actually facing a math problem?"
"A cruel math problem: which is bigger, the number of people multiplied by the cost of killing one person, or the firepower I can unleash?"
Gao Su was both amused and exasperated: "Captain, you're right, but let's fire quickly. If someone rushes up to us, we'll be in real trouble!"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
Chang Yuan raised the Jin Yang revolver, aimed, and fired!
Gunfire continued unabated, and brains continued to sprout from the heads of the cult members.
It has to be said that two hundred people are stronger than one hundred people, and by a significant margin.
There were more people capable of ranged attacks, some who could curse, and some with extraordinary running speed, forcing Chang Yuan to use more firepower to protect himself.
When the cultists were only 50 meters away, their total casualties were less than 20%.
Although it's only an increase from 100 to 200 people, their actual performance is more than doubled.
As they closed the distance, the cultists' attack methods became more diverse, but they also entered Gao Su's optimal firing range.
Gao Su's hands transformed into afterimages as he flung the palm lightning at his feet toward the cultist, subtly adjusting its trajectory with ten kilograms of mental power to ensure the impact was spread out as wide as possible, creating maximum damage.
Gao Su used his telekinesis to activate the fire cap, and the thunder in his palm immediately exploded with a loud bang.
The scorching flames of the explosion engulfed the charging troops, and the shockwave and flying shrapnel abruptly cut off the cultists' momentum, giving Chang Yuan a longer window of opportunity to fire.
With Gao Su providing cover, Chang Yuan was able to fire with greater ease. Every bullet fired from the Jin Yang revolver accurately hit the enemy's vitals, efficiently reaping lives.
The 50-meter distance between Chang Yuan and Gao Su became a dead end, a line drawn by the piled-up corpses.
The cult members were stunned, wavered, hesitated, and their morale declined significantly.
At the critical moment when they were on the verge of collapse, the founder and great protector of the White Lotus Sect stepped forward.
He said to the Grand Protector of the Heavenly Principle Sect and the Left Protector of the Sun Moon Holy Sect, "Cover me for three breaths!"
After saying that, he took half a step back, giving up the apex position of the Three Talents Formation, and retreated into a small safe area between the two of them, who were back to back.
The patriarch and great protector chanted obscure scriptures, and a phantom image of a white lotus altar appeared beneath his feet, lifting him up.
Around the White Lotus Altar, more illusory white lotuses bloomed, and the white light from their stamens continuously converged between the hands of the Ancestral Master and Great Protector.
As the white light condensed into a lotus seed, he shouted, "White Lotus Salvation Mantra!"
At a distance of nearly 400 meters, past almost a hundred Jinyiwei superhumans and a similar number of heretical cultivators, the Grand Master Protector launched the white lotus seed into the air above the remaining heretical cultivators.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the white lotus seeds sprouted, grew, and blossomed, their petals transforming into white lotus imprints that fluttered and flew into the bodies of the heretical cultivators below.
As the white lotus imprint entered their bodies, the cultivators trembled violently. Fear in their eyes was replaced by madness, and reason was overwhelmed by bestiality, causing them to let out wild and bloodthirsty roars.
They no longer dodged Chang Yuan's gun barrels, nor Gao Su's palm mines; they would even rush forward to suppress the palm mines, using their own bodies to bear the damage from the explosion.
What's terrifying is that even if they are blown to pieces, cultivators who have been hit by the White Lotus Seal will not die; they will even continue to charge forward with their intestines still inside.
When dozens of cult members went mad and became completely fearless of death, their attack became unstoppable.
Gao Su made a final attempt, throwing out all the palm grenades and detonating them simultaneously, blasting the cultists to pieces, but still failing to stop the frenzied charge of more than a hundred cultists.
He turned to his captain: "What do we do?"
Chang Yuan chuckled: "What? What should we do?"
"Of course, we run!"
Gao Su: "Huh?"
"What?!"
Chang Yuan grabbed Gao Su and ran off at full speed, firing his gun without looking back.
boom! boom! boom!
The distance was too close. Every bullet from Jin Yang's revolver could penetrate a human body and have enough power to kill the next person.
And that's not all...
Chang Yuan's three shots killed seven people.
There was a group of unlucky guys. It wasn't strange that the three of them stood in a line, but what was strange was that their eyes and the seams on the back of their heads also formed a line.
In that instant, they became the most conspicuous targets locked by the "precise" keyword.
In Chang Yuan's distant view, the three overlapping lock markers were as dazzling as the sun.
He dialed almost without thinking.
As the bullet pierced through two heads and rolled into the eye socket of the third cultist, Chang Yuan felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration!
That was awesome!!
He knew that he had mastered a new shooting technique, and that if he wanted to, and if the conditions were right, he could kill two or even three people with one shot!
Chang Yuan had a strong feeling that if he used the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, getting three or four kills with one shot would become the norm, and even a pentakill wouldn't be out of the question.
He raised his gun and fired.
boom!
There was a slight mistake; only one brain flower exploded.
"After this mission, I'm going to get a really powerful gun, the really fierce kind!"
"Is it the rapid-fire rifle you invented, Captain?"
boom!
Excellent, double kill, two brains!
"No, a gun even more vicious than that!"
boom!
Double kill, but the bullet's trajectory was altered by the skull, and the second person was hit in the throat, resulting in two brain damage.
"I want to be the 'Old Godmother' who can kill a hundred people in ten seconds after igniting a fire!"
