After hearing that the sniper was actually Xia Moyan, Li Feng hesitated.

Xia Ling was right, how could he use common sense to assess The Preceptor?

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Ling. It would be wonderful if he could die together with Xia Ling, then Xiao Lei would not be able to forget about him for his entire life… However, the speed of a bullet was faster than that of a dagger, and he understood clearly that even before he could cut open Xia Ling’s belly, the bullet would have disabled his arm!

Do not make unnecessary sacrifices.

Having thought through this point, Li Feng laughed slyly. “It’s such a pity, my dear sister-in-law, that I can’t cut your child out of you myself. But don’t worry, I have prepared an alternate plan in preparation for this kind of situation. Look.” He pointed to a tiny platform not far away, where there was only a chainsaw on it, as well as a huge meat grinder. The two machines were connected by steel cables, which sprawled across the snake pit and were connected to the chains that held Xia Ling’s hands together.

Xia Ling’s face turned pale once again.

Li Feng laughed like a child who had just expressed his love for his toys to adults. “The chainsaw and meat grinder aren’t bad, right? Xiao Lei, your beloved woman will be hung across the snake pit with the steel cable, and then longitudinally slashed by the chainsaw. The baby in her belly will also be sliced into two parts… After that, their bodies will be ground into pieces of meat, flowing into the snake pit piece by piece and feeding my snakes! Interesting, isn’t it? Hahahahaha!”

With that, he pressed roughly on a red button, and the cable started to turn slowly!

“Xiao Ling!” Li Lei shouted, so anxious that his tone had changed.

Xia Ling was hung on the steel chain, completely unable to resist against the huge mechanical force, and was slowly heading towards the direction of the chainsaw! Li Lei did not have time to think much further, he stepped onto the narrow bridge that linked the snake pit to the platform not far away, on his way to save her. However, the moment he stepped onto it, a snake flew up ferociously from the pit and tried to bite him!

He dodged it instinctively, relying on the intuitive response from all those years of knives and fire, only able to avoid it by using the instincts he had developed by facing life-and-death situations. The narrow bridge under his feet shook violently, almost throwing him into the snake pit. He stabilized himself, shocked, and heard Li Feng’s laughter sound from somewhere. “Oh Xiao Lei, this is the little bridge that I have prepared just for you. Is it fun? Hahaha! There are countless of these flying snakes, it will definitely be enough to make sure your journey is filled with joy, just be careful not to be bitten by them. Oh, and be careful not to fall into the snake pit, your dear little rabbit is still waiting for you to come rescue her! Hahahahahaha…”

He did not know what equipment he had used, but his voice seemed to come from all directions.

Li Lei raised his head to look and saw that Li Feng’s figure was no longer at the platform where he originally was.

He took a deep breath and focused all his attention on concentration. No matter how difficult the obstacles, he was going to strive his best to rescue the woman he loved!

“Li Lei!” It was Xia Ling’s voice. Her hands were tied up in mid-air, and she was sliding closer towards the chainsaw. Her voice carried her tears as she cried, “Go back! Don’t come here! Do you hear!”

Those snakes were colorful and had beautiful triangular heads, and at first glance, it was obvious that they were poisonous!

Li Lei bit his lip and did not answer. He advanced towards her step by step, he had to get to her before she was sawed in half by the chainsaw! Another snake leaped, and he ducked it yet again. On the other side, another flying snake flew at him in a smashing angle, trying to bite him, and it looked as though it was impossible to escape it!

“Li Lei!” Xia Ling cried out.

“Peng!” A gunshot sounded, and a sudden burst of blood was seen in the air. The snake that had been flying at him was hit by the bullet, and was instantly broken into two! The snake fell weakly before falling into the snake pit, and the tens of thousands of snakes inside fought over it for food. In a flash, all that was left was its white skeleton!

Xia Ling looked on with shock, almost forgetting that she was in danger herself, and only praying for Li Lei to be safe.

Li Lei clenched his teeth and continued advancing. Another snake leaped up, and this time, he did not need to dodge, for the bullet landed on the snake’s body firmly. Like its unfortunate predecessor, it burst into a ball of blood mid-air and was quickly gobbled up by his fellow companions.

That was…

Xia Moyan’s sniper rifle.

Stable and accurate.

Xia Ling was right, he was indeed not an ordinary person. No sniper in the world could hit at a distance like that, but he could. He was hiding behind a hole far away, narrowing his eyes to aim inside the snake pit, taking cover for Li Lei so that he could advance. One shot, another shot…

The two men worked together seamlessly, and Li Lei was nearing the rooftop little by little.

Another snake leaped up. Xia Moyan pressed onto the trigger, and a shot was about to go off when suddenly, someone came out from behind and stabbed a dagger into the back of his heart!

Xia Moyan was concentrating on his mission, and when that person appeared, he was completely unprepared. He only moved slightly to the side by instinct, barely avoiding the critical spot, but he still snorted and was immediately injured.

“Ah… I thought you were so powerful, but The Preceptor is just this much.” A cool, slimy voice sounded. It was Li Feng. This was the snake cave, his old nest, and when he was being aimed at by the sniper at the rooftop just now, he had already guessed the location of the sniper’s ambush and had come over quietly after pressing the chainsaw’s button.

He lifted his leg to turn Xia Moyan’s body, seeing how Xia Moyan’s white clothes were now stained with his fresh blood. He smiled happily. “Being able to kill The Preceptor myself… I am truly excited…” He slowly leaned down and was so excited that his whole body was trembling. Although his main target was Li Lei, it was undeniable that being able to step on Xia Moyan, whom the whole world feared, brought some kind of thrill to him!

He licked his lips and raised the dagger in his hands, then stabbed Xia Moyan.

Although Xia Moyan’s identity was honorary and had the technique of metaphysics to predict things, in the face of a real gunfire war, he was only good at his sniper skills. At close combat, he was simply not Li Feng’s rival, a man who had experienced countless wars. He could only watch as the dagger head towards his heart and stab into it, and yet he could not dodge it.

At the time of life and death, suddenly, another gunshot sounded.

This time, it was Li Feng’s chest that opened like a bloody flower. His eyes widened, and he slowly fell down, incredulous. “Who… You…” That gunshot had not hit his critical point, and he struggled, wanting to look back.

Xia Moyan looked behind him too, his expression calm as water. “You’ve arrived.”

Behind him, a tall God-like figure stood there, and although his face was sallow and full of illness, his cold bloodthirsty eyes made him seem like the Death God from Hell.

Pei Ziheng stepped forward, kicking Li Feng away and pulling Xia Moyan up.

“Li Lei still has not finished crossing that bridge, cough.” He coughed and said to Xia Moyan. “Continue firing to protect him. And even if he dies, we still have to rescue Xiao Ling.”
