Myth Beyond Heaven

Reaper put the phone away and glanced at Donkey, who was sweating nervously. "If you want to leave, then leave now."

Donkey hesitated for a moment. He didn't know which choice was better. Staying here and waiting for Reaper's helper to come or leaving this place by himself. Judging by Reaper's conversation earlier, he believed the helper should be someone from the opposite camp. It was difficult to believe they would truly help him.

Donkey gritted his teeth and hurriedly left the room under Reaper's contempt gaze. He hastily ran along the corridor, heading toward his own lab to get his research data.

At this moment, Yun Lintian's group gradually arrived at the intersection. Going in the right direction would lead them to the control room, while the left path was toward the central lab.

After checking there was no enemy around here, Yun Lintian turned around and said. "Ah'Hao and Yaoyao, you two go to the lab. Ah'Feng and I will find Reaper."

Lei Hao and Tu Feng had no objection to this arrangement. However, Xia Yao interjected. "No. I'll go with you."

Yun Lintian hesitated briefly and let out a soft sigh. "Alright. Let's go."

Lei Hao and Tu Feng glanced at each other and quickly headed to the central lab.

Yun Lintian stared at Xia Yao for a while and said nothing in the end. He wanted her to leave this place, but it seemed impossible now.

The two of them cautiously moved along the corridor. Whenever the enemy showed up, they would take turns to take them down effortlessly. Reaper's men could not hinder them at all.

Yun Lintian and Xia Yao walked for a few minutes until they arrived at a corner ten meters away from the control room.

Before Yun Lintian could take a look at the path ahead of him, a rounded object suddenly slid along the floor and arrived before him.

Yun Lintian's complexion abruptly changed. In that instant, he turned around, hugging Xia Yao, and retreated with all his might.

Boom!

The rounded object was immediately exploded, turning everything within ten meters of it into pieces.

The explosion swept Yun Lintian and Xia Yao away, sending them landed heavily on the floor. 

Yun Lintian quickly looked at Xia Yao and asked concernedly. "Are you alright?"

Xia Yao replied with a smile. "I'm fine." She only suffered from a scratched wound and nothing more.

Yun Lintian heaved a sigh of relief and pulled Xia Yao up, preparing to move forward once again.

Suddenly, Reaper's voice rang out from a distance. "Long time no see, Cloud and Rain." His figure slowly emerged behind the smoke as he spoke.

Yun Lintian stared at the familiar figure coldly, unbothered to make a response. The gun in his hand quickly moved, and the bullet immediately rushed to Reaper at full speed.

It was as though Reaper had predicted this beforehand. He instinctively avoided it before Yun Lintian could pull the trigger.

Bang! Bang!

Xia Yao seized this chance when Reaper dodged Yun Lintian's attack to shoot at him. This time, there was no way for Reaper to avoid it.

Just as the bullets were about to hit Reaper, a blue translucent shield suddenly appeared before him and blocked all the shots effortlessly. 

Seeing this scene, Yun Lintian and Xia Yao frowned at the same time… What the hell was that?

  Reaper landed on the floor and glanced at the blue shield in front of him before looking at Yun Lintian and Xia Yao with a smile. "Surprised? This is our new technology. We called it Nano Shield. An ordinary bullet could never penetrate it."

"Really?" Yun Lintian responded by consecutively firing at Reaper. However, the blue shield could still block all the bullets with no problem. This made Yun Lintian frown deeper. Looked like dealing with the Hell Church would be more difficult in the future if they were all equipped with this thing.

"No need to waste your bullet. As I said, an ordinary bullet could never penetrate it." Reaper appeared extremely relaxed with his hands behind his back.

On the side, Xia Yao's eyes flashed with a cold glint. She changed into a new magazine and shot at Reaper. The new bullet she used was called an explosive bullet. It had the ability to explode upon touching the target. She didn't believe it couldn't destroy the Nano Shield.

Boom!

A mini explosion occurred on the blue shield, creating a small crack. Seeing this, Reaper started to frown, and he quickly raised his gun, immediately firing at Yun Lintian and Xia Yao.

"Cover me!" Yun Lintian shouted while avoiding the incoming bullets. He leaped forward and rushed to Reaper with Xia Yao's covering him.

As he was running, Yun Lintian skillfully changed into a new magazine containing explosive bullets before shooting at Reaper non-stop.

Reaper was having a hard time blocking the bullet while trying to make a counterattack. The crack on his Nano Shield began to spread out, becoming a big spiderweb-like crack. Undoubtedly, it would break if the situation continues like this.

Reaper couldn't help cursing those scientists that developed this Nano Shield. Didn't they say it would never break? And where was the self-recover ability?

That was right. The Nano Shield that Reaper was currently using was only a prototype product. It still had many flaws that needed to fix it. Since Reaper was the first person who used it on the actual battlefield, this unexpected event was inevitable.

Reaper did not dare to stay here further as he saw Yun Lintian draw closer to him. Although it was slightly embarrassing to retreat like this after appearing so proudly, he had no choice but to escape in this situation.

Yun Lintian could see Reaper's intention at a glance. He instantly accelerated his speed and charged at Reaper before he could take aim at him.

Bang!

Yun Lintian fiercely struck the Nano Shield with his shoulder, forcing Reaper to fall backward slightly.. He swiftly took this chance to draw closer to Reaper and sent a kick toward the latter's arm.
