153: Chapter 149 A Sniper Kill from 8,000 Miles Away!

The Goblin did not hesitate.

It didn't even ask why.

It simply nodded heavily.

"Alright, Master!"

Then, it slowly closed its eyes.

Its cyan claws, wearing the void touch gloves, pressed gently into the void.

Hum— Silver-white spatial ripples spread out in all directions, centered on its palm.

The Goblin's consciousness extended continuously along the void touch.

Passing through streets.

Passing through city walls.

Passing through the wilderness.

Crossing mountains and rivers.

Spanning a distance of thousands of kilometers...

Finally, in a desolate ruin, it "saw" them.

That group of people.

The bishop of the Dark Church and several subordinates.

And that unconscious young girl—Cheng Niannian.

...

Eight thousand li away.

A desolate and dilapidated ancient ruin.

The scent of decay permeated the broken walls and ruins.

The bishop of the Dark Church stood in the center of the ruins, turned his head, and looked toward the direction of the Capital City.

A smug smile slowly curled up on the corner of his mouth.

"A bunch of idiots."

"Still trying to find this bishop's location?"

"Even if that Lu Zhentian comes, he will only be led around by the nose by this bishop."

The subordinates behind him immediately began to flatter him.

"Bishop, you are wise!"

"How could those ants possibly guess the bishop's methods?"

"When the demon descends into this world, the bishop will be the greatest contributor!"

Hearing this, the smile on the bishop's face deepened.

He reached out and pointed at the unconscious Cheng Niannian on the ground.

"I have already sealed off this space; no one can come here in the short term."

"Prepare the sacrificial ritual immediately."

"Let the Abyss Demon descend into this world!"

Two subordinates quickly stepped forward, grabbing Cheng Niannian from left and right, and walked toward the altar already prepared in the center of the ruins.

The bishop stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the dense blood-red runes on the altar.

His eyes were full of fanaticism.

Soon.

It would be soon.

As long as the sacrificial ritual is completed, the Abyss Demon will descend.

At that time,

Hum!!!

Just at this moment!

An extremely dangerous aura suddenly descended!

The smile on the bishop's face froze instantly.

"Danger!"

His reaction was extremely fast.

Almost the instant he sensed the danger, his body had already reacted.

A layer of dark red light erupted from his body, rapidly condensing into a shield.

But—it was too late.

Boom!!!

A dazzling crystal shell flew in from the distant horizon!

The shell was crystal clear, as if forged from the purest crystal.

Under the sunlight, it refracted seven-colored light.

But beneath this beautiful surface, it carried world-destroying power!

The bishop's eyes widened.

He didn't even have time to make a second move.

That crystal shell had already slammed heavily into his body!

Boom—Crack!

Frost erupted instantly!

Centered on the bishop, everything within a radius of several thousand meters was frozen!

The ground, walls, altar, flames... as well as the bishop and all his subordinates beside him.

All were covered by a thick layer of ice!

Their faces still maintained the expressions from the previous second.

Shock, fear, disbelief,

A few seconds later,

A brilliant shooting star flew in from the direction of the Capital City.

The shooting star trailed a long tail of flame, like a falling meteor.

With an unstoppable posture, it slammed heavily into the bishop!

Boom!!!

The violent explosion resounded through heaven and earth!

The ice layer shattered.

The ground collapsed.

The bishop's body, under the impact of the shooting star, instantly fell apart!

...

Inside the Capital City.

The Goblin's body jolted violently.

The next second,

One after another, dazzling white lights rose from its body.

One.

Two.

Three.

...

A full eighteen leveling-up lights bloomed on its body in succession!

The Goblin lowered its head in a daze, looking at its hands.

Its level... soared directly from Level 1 to Level 19!

"Master, I, I leveled up!?"

The Goblin's eyes widened.

It didn't understand what was going on.

Why could it level up eighteen times just by firing one shot?

Lu Yuan walked up and gently patted the Goblin's head.

"Well done, little guy."

The Goblin came back to its senses, scratched its head, and smiled honestly.

"Hehehe..."

"This is what I should do."

Although it didn't understand what had happened, being praised by its master made it genuinely happy.

???

General Yuan Muzhi and Lu Zhentian were all stunned.

They looked at the Goblin that was smiling honestly.

"What happened?"

"How did it level up?"

"And it leveled up more than ten times in a row?!"

Just then,

A Demon Suppression Army soldier ran in in a panic.

"General! General!"

"It's bad!"

"That... that bishop of the Dark Church has been sniped!"

General Yuan Muzhi turned his head sharply.

"What did you say?!"

"It's true!"

The soldier panted, his face full of shock.

"Our satellite captured the entire process!"

"A crystal shell flew out from the direction of the Capital City, spanning over a thousand kilometers, and hit the target..."

"Then another shooting star flew out from the Capital City and completely obliterated the target!"

"The whole process took less than three seconds!"

Principal Kiran hurriedly pulled up the satellite footage.

On the light screen in the center of the hall, the scene from just a moment ago appeared.

A crystal shell flew out from the direction of the Capital City.

Crossing mountains and rivers.

Spanning a distance of over a thousand kilometers.

It accurately hit the bishop of the Dark Church.

Then a shooting star followed closely behind, completely obliterating him.

The entire process was clean and neat.

There wasn't a single superfluous movement.

In the hall, everyone was silent.

Their gazes slowly turned to the green-skinned Goblin lying on the ground.

That Goblin was currently holding a sniper rifle that was taller than itself.

The muzzle was still emitting wisps of blue smoke.

That 'magic crystal shell' was fired from this gun!!!

"Hiss~!"

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

A sniper shot from eight thousand li away?!

And that was the bishop of the Dark Church!

A top-tier professional over Level 80!

His strength was second only to Lu Zhentian's level!

He was an existence on the same level as General Yuan Muzhi, Principal Wu Long, and others.

Such an existence—was sniped by a Level 1 Goblin with one shot?!!!

Doesn't that mean...

This Goblin possesses the strength to snipe any professional from a long distance?!

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat seeped out on everyone's backs.

Fear.

Unparalleled fear.

Rose from the bottom of everyone's hearts.

...

A thousand miles away.

In the ruins.

On the bishop's broken body, blood suddenly began to squirm.

That blood seemed to have a life of its own, slowly gathering together.

Condensing into a human figure made of blood.

The bishop's phantom stood in the center of the ruins.

His eyes were full of fear.

He was a Dimensional Mage.

He had an extremely keen perception of spatial fluctuations.

He could clearly feel that the attack just now was launched from the Capital City!

A sniper shot spanning over a thousand kilometers!

Not only was the attack range ridiculously far.

The damage was also terrifyingly heinous!

Especially that final shooting star...

If it weren't for his Blood Demon Ring protecting him, he would have died completely from that attack just now!

But even so, his body was completely destroyed.

Now, he only had this wisp of a remnant soul left.

The bishop raised his head, looking toward the direction of the Capital City.

On that face made of blood, a look of fear appeared for the first time.

"No..."

"I can't stay here any longer."

He grabbed Cheng Niannian from the ground.

With his other hand, he tore violently into the void.

Rip—!

A pitch-black dungeon barrier was forcibly torn open by him.

Sounds of dragon roars came from within the dungeon.

"A dragon-type dungeon?"

"Can't worry about that much now..."

The bishop did not hesitate at all.

Carrying Cheng Niannian, he plunged headlong into the void crack.
