150: The third option

Gu Qinghan glanced at him, then grinned, "It's fine, as long as you die before me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all sixty-nine Sky Eye Skeletons activated their active attack skill, "Sky Sniping."

"Sky Sniping: Consumes 50 mana, performs an ultra-long-range powerful sniper shot with a tracking effect."

Gu Qinghan had tried the effect of Sky Sniping before; even the Bear King's dark golden protective aura couldn't fully block it.

This tracking effect is incredibly exaggerated; unless you're blocked a second before it hits the target, the attack will keep tracking.

Sixty-nine huge crossbow bolts, flashing with killing intent, shot towards Captain Huang, causing him to instantly push away the Bear King and run into the distance.

He directly smashed through the Little Skeletons in his path, completely ignoring the shockwave released by the Bear King.

All he wanted to do was dodge this chilling volley of attacks.

However, these sixty-nine crossbow bolts seemed to have eyes, chasing relentlessly in Captain Huang's direction.

Captain Huang looked back and saw only a dense swarm of crossbow bolts flying towards him, instantly sobering him up quite a bit.

The reason he ran was because he also recognized that these skeletons all seemed to be Eye of the Sky Professionals.

He had witnessed the power of an Eye of the Sky Professional from the Shicheng Military during an earlier outing.

At that time, there was an incredibly fast monster that killed many Professionals, yet no one could even touch it.

At the critical moment, a single Sky Sniping shot pinned it to the ground, buying time for the other Professionals to attack.

And now, there were sixty-nine such attacks.

No, a second round of Sky Sniping appeared again!

Two waves of crossbow bolts from two directions cornered Captain Huang, then all shot into his body.

A dull thud of flesh being pierced sounded as all the crossbow bolts embedded themselves in Captain Huang's flesh.

Captain Huang let out continuous painful howls; although his body had been modified by Demonic Power, he still felt pain.

Despite the pain being greatly weakened, he finally got a taste of the agony of being pierced by a thousand arrows today.

Gu Qinghan, not reassured, had the Sky Eye Skeletons unleash a third volley. Only after all the attacks hit did he let the Bear King approach Captain Huang.

At this point, Captain Huang was almost unrecognizable; he was covered in crossbow bolts like a porcupine.

Gu Qinghan initially thought he still had the strength to stand, but a closer look revealed that the shafts of the crossbow bolts were actually supporting him.

"Not dead yet? You really are tenacious!"

Gu Qinghan watched the rapidly wriggling flesh, which seemed to be repairing his body.

Moreover, the Eye of the Sky's sniping skill can penetrate walls, yet at this moment, it could only partially embed itself in the opponent's body.

This showed the extent of Captain Huang's physical strength at this moment.

At this moment, Captain Huang even had a crossbow bolt stuck in his head, yet he still turned to look at Gu Qinghan and said,

"You… you can't kill me. If you kill me… you'll be branded with a soul mark…"

"You mean this?"

Gu Qinghan showed the black flame mark on his arm. At this moment, the mark seemed to respond to some call, as if it had come alive.

"Yes… Although I don't know how you can materialize the mark… but once the marks are full, you will definitely be targeted by demons…"

Captain Huang was still desperately fighting for his life; he really didn't want to die.

Gu Qinghan could also see that his current state was far, far stronger than Li Qingshan's at that time.

At least, Captain Huang still vaguely retained some human characteristics.

Gu Qinghan merely glanced at Cui Rang, whose face was growing increasingly grim, then looked back at Captain Huang and said,

"What happens if I'm targeted?"

"You will die… or become one of us…"

As Captain Huang said this, he noticed a thoughtful expression appear in Gu Qinghan's eyes.

He immediately became somewhat excited. He wasn't necessarily trying to get the other party to spare him by saying these things.

In fact, the Demonic Power within him had already begun to rapidly repair his injuries.

His internal injuries were mostly healed; although his external injuries looked severe, they wouldn't have much impact.

He just needed to stall for another two minutes… No! One minute would be enough!

By then, he could launch an explosive attack, rushing to Gu Qinghan's front despite his severe injuries.

The opponent clearly looked like a mage Professional, and would definitely not be able to withstand one of his attacks!

However, the thoughtful look in Gu Qinghan's eyes only lasted a few seconds before returning to normal.

"Forget it, I choose the third option."

Gu Qinghan sighed, shrugging at Captain Huang.

Captain Huang was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously asked,

"Didn't I just mention two outcomes? Did I misremember?"

"No," Gu Qinghan shook his head, "the third option is one I added myself."

Seeing Captain Huang's somewhat dazed expression, Gu Qinghan slowly uttered a sentence:

"The third possibility is that I kill the demon that targets me, how about that?"

Gu Qinghan's voice wasn't loud, but at this moment, it carried an extremely strong sense of confidence.

Chen Yuting had previously said that she was infected by some kind of power, and it now seemed to be the so-called power of demons.

This power was the main reason Chen Yuting exhausted all her time to return to the present, and naturally, it put her on the opposite side of Gu Qinghan.

For enemies, Gu Qinghan had only one attitude: eliminate them as quickly as possible.

As for whether he could kill this so-called demon, Gu Qinghan wasn't entirely confident.

However, if he, the top of the three rankings, couldn't do anything, then probably no one in this world could.

If this world was destined to be destroyed, Gu Qinghan hoped to be the one who died fighting.

Captain Huang looked at the faint, confident smile on Gu Qinghan's lips and suddenly felt a hint of fear.

Because he suddenly felt that this young man truly seemed to possess such ability.

He violently slapped off the crossbow bolts on his body, letting his flesh tear open, desperate to escape at all costs.

But it was too late.

Gu Qinghan directly condensed a ferocious Bone Spear. The moment it was shot, the surrounding Bone Spears transformed into streaks of white light and merged into it.

After flying a certain distance, the originally pale Bone Spear had become as smooth as jade.

But beneath that beautiful exterior, a terrifying killing intent was hidden.

Captain Huang was very fast; he felt he might be able to dodge this attack.

However, he suddenly felt his feet tighten and he tripped directly to the ground.

Looking down, there were two chains under his feet, seemingly made of ice.

"Die, you scum."

Gu Qinghan softly uttered a word, directly pronouncing Captain Huang's death sentence.

The jade-like Bone Spear pierced through him, directly crushing Captain Huang's heart.

At the same time, an extremely powerful dark red Necromantic Power slowly seeped out from his body!
