But such a problem was not an issue at all for Qin Fang.

The greatest challenge for snipers is their form; perform well, and they can make a kill shot from over a thousand meters away, but in a bad state, they might miss even at 500 meters.

Yet, Qin Fang didn't have this problem, as he was a skill-based combatant. As long as his skill was there, his performance would always be on an upward trajectory. After all, every shot fired meant an increase in proficiency, and higher proficiency meant stronger techniques, so he was always improving.

Qin Fang's position was now more than a thousand meters away. While others lacked high-powered scopes, his M42 sniper rifle was equipped with one, which he was now exploiting. He could gun down the enemy from a kilometer away, and they couldn't even catch a glimpse of him, dying without knowing what hit them.

Xiao Jiu's team's nightmare was just beginning.

The shock of the first shot had not yet dissipated when the second shot arrived.

This time, the target was a teammate beside him, still immersed in deep surprise. Just a small part of the body exposed, and he was instantly killed, another clean shot to the head.

At that moment, he was less than two meters away from the teammate who was shot. If it wasn't for his instinctive dive to the ground after the gunshot, he would have definitely become the third victim.

"Damn it, everyone fire at all suspicious targets, suppressive fire..."

The most frustrating part was not being able to locate the enemy. Xiao Jiu felt a profound sense of helplessness, knowing all too well how terrifying a sniper could be in such an environment.

With their longer range, ultra-high accuracy, and an unseen hiding spot, how could they possibly take him down without even seeing a shadow?

Conversely, they had become sitting ducks.

The most important thing for a sniper is to stay concealed. As long as they remain undetected, they are invincible. But once their position is uncovered, it becomes truly dangerous.

This is no surprise since a sniper's mobility is somewhat compromised compared to an assault team that can move swiftly. For example, Xiao Jiu's squad could move quite fast. Otherwise, they wouldn't have arrived at the predetermined location earlier than Li Yang and his team.

Qin Fang was well aware of this. Although the limitations of a sniper didn't apply to him, his abilities were already sufficient to defeat the opponent; there was absolutely no need to cheat.

Sniper rifles are not light, and they can't be thrown around carelessly. Any damage to the parts could affect their shooting accuracy. And if the accuracy can't be ensured, then the sniper rifle is as good as ruined.

After all, at a distance of over a kilometer, even a slight deviation can cause the bullet to miss by several meters. What's the point of shooting then?

Faced with such an opponent, Xiao Jiu's plan was to use heavy firepower to attract the attention of the sniper, even provoke him to shoot, so they could pinpoint the sniper's location.

Thus, a flurry of gunfire erupted...

They were successful!

Qin Fang fired his gun too!

However, another one of their men fell, and they still hadn't found Qin Fang's position, only roughly guessing a direction.

But the problem was that the visibility in that direction wasn't wide, and the angle was quite tricky; yet it was precisely positioned to target their hiding spot. And the range of their guns fell far short...

Faced with such a result, Xiao Jiu truly regretted it deeply, but in the end, aside from cursing, it was of no use.

Their current predicament was indeed dire.

Close?

That was a no-brainer, facing a sniper with precise gunmanship, recklessly popping heads out would just turn them into targets, as demonstrated by the third shot that took down a teammate just earlier.

Retreat?

He wished to, but the problem was that after they had killed Li Yang and his two companions, they had penetrated deep into the hollow of the hill, left with only cover to shield their bodies. To successfully break out, they needed to run a distance even further than Li Yang and his team had before.

Facing such a sniper, running around carelessly was even more dangerous; any slight move and they would be shot dead on the spot.

So, the surviving three of them were forced to stay behind cover, not daring to carelessly show themselves, let alone charge rashly.

Three men being suppressed by one, their loss of face wasn't ordinary—it was colossal!

Or rather, all six faced one enemy, with three killed and three trapped... this was even more humiliating.

"Brother Jiu, it's no use, we can't break out! We can only wait for Young Master Ai's support!"

Suppressed behind cover, the survivors looked terrible. But after searching for a long time, they failed to find the enemy's whereabouts or a suitable route to break out. Trapped like this, they could do nothing but wait for rescue. They didn't even dare to raise their heads; this confrontation was the toughest they had faced in a long time.

Not because the enemy team was stronger, but because of one person on the opponent's side...

"What I'm most worried about now is Young Master Ai and his team! That damned sniper—we don't know where he's hiding. If Young Master Ai and others come back..."

Xiao Jiu's face was particularly unsightly. Ai Nan and his team were at the opponent's main base. By drawing four of the enemies here, there would only be two left at their main base.

One was definitely Chu Yunxuan, and the other was either Qin Fang or Qiao Zhenfei. Presumably, one wasn't very strong, at least there had been no gunshots from there, and judging by the time, they likely had already captured the two opponents.

So now, Ai Nan was undoubtedly planning to join up with them.

Once they entered Qin Fang's shooting range, with the accuracy of Qin Fang's sniper rifle, there was absolutely no chance of survival. And if Ai Nan was killed, they would have completely lost the possibility of a comeback.

"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die, we must get this message out..."

Xiao Jiu was not indecisive. Three had fallen, yet the message was still under wraps; it had to be sent out. With Ai Nan's shooting skills, plus the few of them remaining, taking down a sniper would not be too difficult.

Once they were prepared, it would be practically impossible for Qin Fang to use the terrain for sniping again; he would be left only with being hunted down.

"Brother Jiu, the three of us break out simultaneously in three different directions. Regardless of how formidable he is, sniper rifles need time to react. Of the three of us, as long as one breaks out successfully, that would be enough..."

A teammate immediately suggested this.

Indeed, they had an absolute advantage in numbers. Even if two more of them fell, including Ai Nan's team, they would still have four people.

And Qin Fang was alone. With four against one, their chances of victory were certainly greater!

As for Qin Fang being a fearsome sniper, so what?

They had snipers too. Their leader, Ai Nan, was once the top marksman in the entire military district, with formidable strength, surely much stronger than Qin Fang.

Of course, this was just wishful thinking on their part. Whether Qin Fang or Ai Nan's marksmanship was stronger, that would only be known after a real confrontation.

It's just that their relationship with Ai Nan was too good, having cooperated too many times. Coupled with the numerous unbeaten records credited to Ai Nan's miraculous sniping, they had somewhat idolized him, feeling that only their boss was the true sniper expert, and other snipers were far weaker than Ai Nan...(To be continued.
