Chapter 58 58:Enemy Ambush?
Leon knew he had a chance of getting ambushed, the moment he walked out of Zephyr's base. He had already noticed a few suspicious cannon fodder hovering around as if observing him so he tried his luck by discussing his travel route with Jeremy.
Last night he also analyzed the nearby routes finding the best possible place he would get ambushed and where he can set an ambush.
Late at night, using disguising techniques, he sneaked out to prepare the place in advance. He prepared three points to strike in advance.
Due to sneaking out, Leon also managed to save himself from Ye Tian who sneaked into the base to kill him only to find the empty bed of pillows.
Luckily, by the time Leon returned, it was already midnight and Ye Tian had gone back otherwise he would have gotten some nice kill points.
At dawn, he took the most suitable route for ambush, and the other side followed his movements.
And when they thought Leon was trapped, he let go of the jeep and pulled out a bike from his storage ring, escaped through a gap in the trees, and waited at the spot after littering the entire path with smiles.
With a smile, Leon raised his rifle and shouted.
"Thanks for playing with me to ease my boredom."
BANG!
The next moment, an explosive bullet flew over the distance and hit the area at the center of the road that had an x sign engraved on it which was right under the armored vehicle driven by Ron.
A landmine was buried underneath that surrounded and linked by many. This time it wasn't just a single landmine but a place filled with dumps of TNT, and many other poisonous mines.
The moment the bullet stuck, the mine exploded which in turn set a chain of explosions.
Leon immediately pulled out a slab under his foot leading to an underground pit that he had dug yesterday. He put on a face mask and jumped in waving his head.
"Sayonara."
An earth-shattering explosion followed after shaking the whole place.
BOOOOOM!
A small mushroom-shaped cloud of flame emerged from the place rising up towards the sky followed by ferocious bellows of shockwaves ringing like thunder in one ear.
Flames shot up toward the sky while radiating all around covering everyone's vision in a mixture of orange and reddish hue.
A sea of flames swept everything in its path burning every damned thing that came before it. A radius of around 200 meters was engulfed by flames with debris getting swept away.
The loud crackling sound similar to thunder lasted for a while. A few moments after the sounds died down, Leon emerged from the pit and cracked his body.
"Thank god, I had ear plugs otherwise I might have become deaf today," Leon commented looking at the reddish patch of hellfire all around.
The flames dissipated gradually leaving burning scraps of metal, a pungent stench created by a mixture of smells from burning bodies and toxic gas of bombs and burning soot.
Leon, wearing a gas mask, walked around to check up. He could already hear a ringing notification however there were some alive.
Leon breathed and smiled looking at the picture painted by him.
Putting his hands on his waist, Leon shook his head."So Sad! I wasn't able to see the live telecast."
At that time, Leon's eyes suddenly flickered as a shadow jumped out from beneath the ground.
It was the guy named Ye Tian whose body had suffered some severe burns.
Emerging from a pile of dirt, he dashed rapidly and stabbed his dagger swiftly toward Leon.
Ye Tian from the training knew that in the case of an explosion, if one managed to lay flat on the ground with cover cover, one could avert the significant amount of lethal fragments.
However, surfing still depends on various factors.
The moment he heard Foxy scream, he jumped down and dug a tunnel, going down as far as possible. His body was jolted away by the thundering explosion and his internals were shattered nevertheless he managed to survive.
A ray of light flickered off the surface of the dagger. Leon's eyes narrowed as he dodged it and slammed his arms rapidly toward Ye Tian who ducked it easily showcasing his flexibility despite his injury and circled around Leon.
He increased his speed and, leaving behind after images, ran around Leon in the circle and attacked, throwing a few stabs to confuse Leon.
Leon dodged the blows easily because Ye Tian wasn't able to deliver a swift strike due to the discordance between his two feet.
The more he moved around, the more his body condition worsened.
Suddenly, Ye Tian's body froze due to a suffocating pressure that pinned him down in his place.
On raising his chin, his eyes met a piercing cold gaze horrifying him. Those gazes were windows leading to an underlying barbarity creating a storm in his heart.
For a faint moment, he held an illusion of seeing a dragon looking down at him and making him conscious of his position as a mere bug.
The small lull in the moment was enough for Leon to do his task.
The image of Leon in Ye Tian's eyes blurred and a dark shadow zoomed in before his eyes and a palm followed, grabbing his head, and pinned it down.
BOOOOOM!
Leon, holding the man's skull, blasted it down with a brute force that cracked both the man's skull and the ground beneath creating a small shockwave.
"KHUEM!"
Ye Tian groaned a bit and the dagger in his hand flew away due to his loosened grip but instead of losing hope, he held Leon's hand tightly and with a quick motion wrapped Leon's hips to retrain him and pin him down.
"Ohh!"
Leon smiled, noticing something.
"Do it!"
Ye Tian shouted following which a shadow flickered behind Leon and Foxy appeared holding two daggers aiming straight at Leon's neck.
Her daggers lowered down with an insane speed but just as it was a few inches away, Leon raised his free left arm and grasped his fist.
SWISH!
Ye Tian's eyes widened in horror feeling a burst of spiritual energy erupting from the clasped palm of Leon.
At the next moment, three golden lines scratch the air behind with a sound akin to the tearing of paper, and Foxy's figure splits up into three parts and falls into three different directions.
Blood burst out and sprayed on Leon's back.

Ye Tian felt his vision going blank seeing how easily Foxy was taken down with a small flick. He knew that with his condition he stood no chance before this monster.
He even felt that the man before him was much crueler than his boss and his talent was as terrifying as him.
Though he was smiling like a gentleman, his eyes were emotionless and dark depicting a man that just crawled out from the abyss to have his revenge against those who pushed him into the abyss.
"Now what should I do about you, Mr. Ye Tian?"Leon
"Spar....me."
BOOM!
Ye Tian's words got stuck as Leon pulled his head and smashed it on the ground.
"Sorry for the misunderstanding, I wasn't asking you, rather I was talking to myself."
Leon then held Ye Tian and bashed him on the ground repeatedly until it was smashed into chunks of pieces leaving behind soft squishy matter of the brain.

Shaking his head to get rid of dirt, he got up and walked around to survey things. That poor Grandmaster Ron was killed without being able to show off due to the heavy explosive in the Jeep that exploded along with others.
Not a piece of his presence was left behind to bury and burn incense. A pitiful guy indeed.
"Don't worry Ron, I will send your captain and his fellow men there so that you won't feel lonely and they also won't have to feel sad for not being able to bury you."
"Ughh!"A faint moan escaped from the battlefield drawing his attention.
Leon looked around and found the source.
It was Ye Hou whose limbs had been shattered in the explosion and his body was covered with dark burns.
He didn't look human anymore.
"Why.....Why are you doing this...."
"Why….Why are you hunting…"
Even before he could finish his grand speech, Leon pulled out a gun and shot him down.

"Sorry, I am a bit busy. I will catch up to you in hell when I die for real."
"Till then see ya and better luck next time."
