Myth Beyond Heaven

The heavy downpour was still pouring down without any sign of stopping. The tragic scene where he was carrying Lei Hao and a lifeless woman on his shoulders while running in the rain appeared in his mind. The atmosphere at that time was extremely similar to the current one.

Yun Lintian grabbed onto a silver necklace on his neck, taking a deep breath, and his mind immediately calmed down. In the darkness, his eyes behind the night vision seemed to glow with golden light. His gaze was like a torch piercing through the curtain of rain and landed on seven figures that were lying in the distance and pointed their guns in his direction.

He seemed to forget the pain as he sat down on one knee, aiming his machine gun at the seven figures at the end of his sight. At this moment, Yun Lintian's body had blended into the environment, as though he had become transparent.

Yun Lintian stared at a man with a rocket launcher lying beside him. This person was located at the farthest position compared to the other six. The gun in Yun Lintian's hand slowly aimed at him and his finger gradually touched the trigger.

Bang!

As Yun Lintian pulled the trigger, the bullet immediately traveled through the air and landed on the target's face, directly reaping his life. 

If anyone saw this scene, they would stare at Yun Lintian in disbelief because his action had defied all the logic. How could a machine gun with a hundred meters of firing range achieve such a feat? The target was obviously at least two hundred meters away from Yun Lintian's position. Not to mention in this environment where the wind howled, and rain surged. 

"What's going on?" The other six people were startled as they saw their comrade die mysteriously.

Bang! Bang!

Before they could react, another two bullets flew out and hit a man beside the death. The result was the same; he was killed on the spot.

This time, the other five people regained their sense and began to shoot frantically toward the edge of the forest.

"Did you see him?" A sturdy man who seemed to be a team leader changed the magazine while asking his comrade beside him.

The man beside the team leader shook his head and replied solemnly. "According to the information, he didn't have a sniper rifle with him. Don't tell me he killed them with a machine gun?"

Bang! Bang!

As his voice fell, his face was immediately pierced through by two bullets, and lost his breath on the spot.

"Damn it! Use the grenades!" The team leader was shocked to the core and quickly gave the order.

Instantaneously, four grenades flew toward Yun Lintian's direction and exploded upon landing on the ground. 

The team leader seized this chance to command his team to move forward. However, when they were about to stand up, two bullets once again flew out from the edge of the forest's direction and killed one of the four. This scene caused the remaining three people to be scared witless and lose the ability to move for a second.

Yun Lintian moved his gun to lock onto the man standing on the team leader's right side and pulled the trigger, sending another two bullets to reap that man's life.

In that instant, Yun Lintian turned his gun toward another man beside the team leader and successfully killed him.

The team leader was frightened to the extreme. He had never encountered such a ghostly situation before. His legs subconsciously moved and brought his body to retreat. 

However, as he was about to take another step further, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, causing him to involuntarily touch it. A warm liquid on his hand made his head turn blank. He fell to the ground while clutching his neck, trying to stop the blood from gushing out like a fountain. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed. His body twitched a few times before completely stopping. 

"Ugh!" After killing the target, Yun Lintian suddenly coughed up blood. His mind turned heavy as his vision started to blur. He forcefully shook his head and dragged his body toward the mountain's peak.

Passing the corpses, Yun Lintian didn't even take a glance at them. He continued to move forward with heavy steps. Later, he arrived at an open space with a colossal ginkgo tree that stood tall at the center. Beneath the ginkgo tree, an exquisite tombstone made of jade could be seen. Even though it was soaking with rain, its beauty did not diminish in the slightest. 

Yun Lintian halted his track and stared blankly at the tombstone. At this moment, he seemed to see a peerless woman standing there and smiling at him. Her face was gorgeous beyond words. Whether Lynn or Yang Ningchang, they could not be compared to her.

"Yaoyao, is that you?" Yun Lintian spoke softly. Water filled his eyes. It was hard to tell whether it was rain or tears.

The woman, Xia Yao, looked at Yun Lintian affectionately. Her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but no word came out.

Yun Lintian looked at her with a longing expression. His legs began to move step by step until he arrived before Xia Yao.

"Yaoyao, I miss you." Yun Lintian uttered while choking.

Xia Yao smiled at him. Her eyes were filled with endless tenderness. She reached her hand out and touched the wound on Yun Lintian's waist, expressing her concern.

Yun Lintian didn't know whether it was an illusion or not; the pain on his waist seemed to miraculously disappear completely. However, he did not care about it. His mind was fully occupied by the peerless woman in front of him.

"Yaoyao. I'm sorry. It should be me who died on that day." Yun Lintian spoke hoarsely. He raised his hand, trying to touch Xia Yao's face, but he stopped it midway as he saw a bloodstain on his hand. 

However, Xia Yao did not seem to care about it.. She gently pulled his hand to touch her face and smiled at him as if she told him everything was going to be okay.
