Chapter 298 Psychological Warfare
Shi Tian had lost most of his traps in the ambush earlier, but that was information only known to him. This group of elite soldiers had no idea just how many traps and grenades he had left.
In fact, they won''t even know if he had more stuff that he hasn''t yet revealed.
To them, Shi Tian was like a mysterious figure that hadpletely decimated them earlier.
Of course, he had been injured quite heavily by his bullets, but the soldiers didn''t know about how heavy the injuries were.
After all, he had shot their leader''s right eye despite their supposed formation defenses and still escaped in their very own eyes.
How could these elite soldiers not be slightly wary of him?
''Look at these bunch of cuties. So cautious and moving at a snail-like pace.'' Shi Tian eximed inwardly.
The psychological warfare proved effective with his meticulous nning.
However, this alone was not enough to frighten these elite soldiers.
If this was enough to frighten them, then they truly are a joke of a soldier.
Calmly waiting for the elite soldiers to walk to the first checkpoint, Shi Tian made sure to angle his trajectory to aim for the trap he hadid for them.
He might not have traps, but he did have some materials that could cause an explosion upon contact with the bullet. The material was sh powder, something he had found in thepartment of Mary''s Iron Sentinel.
"Wait a minute," Suddenly one of the soldiers in the front raised his hand and halted hisrades.
"I smell something unusual." He then said, warning his fellowrades.
"Let me help you out. What you''re smelling is merely the death door awaiting you." Shi Tian suddenly spoke, stunning the soldiers briefly.
Seizing the opportunity of their sudden stunned movement, Shi Tian quickly pulled the trigger, firing at the sh powder he had ced earlier.
The gunshot echoed through the area, a deafening explosion of sound that seemed to reverberate in every direction. The sh powder ignited in a blinding burst of light, catching the elite soldiers off guard.
Blinded by the sudden brilliance, they fumbled for their weapons, disoriented and struggling to regain theirposure. Shi Tian had used this momentary confusion to his advantage.
With his enhanced mobility and agility, he leaped from his concealed position,nding amidst the temporarily incapacitated soldiers. His mechanical right arm gleamed menacingly in the aftermath of the sh, its power enhanced by his [Cyber Samurai] subss.
In the chaos, the soldiers barely had time to react. Shi Tian''s mechanical fist struck like a battering ram, delivering devastating blows that sent them flying in all directions.
The precision and force behind his punches were awe-inspiring, a testament to the newfound strength he had gained at level 30.
The soldiers'' armor, despite its protective properties, crumpled under the force of Shi Tian''s onught. Bones cracked, and cries of pain filled the air as they struggled to defend themselves.
However, these elite soldiers were not to be underestimated. Despite the initial shock, they quickly regrouped, their training and discipline shining through. They formed a defensive formation, shields raised, and weapons ready.
Bullets and energy sts whizzed through the air as the soldiers unleashed a barrage of firepower.
Temporarily halting himself, Shi Tian realized they were going to counterattack, albeit faster than he had thought.
''As expected, they aren''t dazed by the ambush much.'' Shi Tian wasn''t surprised that they had regained theirposure rather quickly.
With his ss Talent [Digital Specter] abilities, it allowed him to predict their movements and anticipate their attacks, giving him a significant advantage in dodging and weaving through the lethal hail of projectiles.
As he continued to engage them, Shi Tian couldn''t help but feel a strange mix of exhration and fear.
His fear was that the battle might end quicker than he had thought, causing him to be unable to recognize how far his potential had gotten. As for his exhration, it was naturally the ease of how fast he could end thempared to previously.
Smiling menacingly, Shi Tian easily avoided the rain of bullets as if they were empty air.
And without hesitation, Shi Tian propelled forward to a weaker defensive potential. Illuminating the center palm of his mechanical right arm, Shi Tian was ready to give them a taste of their own medicine.
A st ofser produced by the Source Crystal in his mechanical right arm was his ultimate trump card.
Theser erupted from the center palm of Shi Tian''s mechanical right arm with a blinding intensity. It tore through the air like ance of pure energy, streaking toward the soldiers.
Caught off guard by this unexpected attack, they attempted to raise their shields and evade, but the searing beam of light was too fast. It struck with pinpoint uracy, slicing through their shields and armor as if they were made of paper.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The soldiers'' cries of pain and rm filled the air as theser struck home. One after another, they were incapacitated, their bodies scorched and smoking from the intense heat. The precision and power of the attack were nothing short of devastating.
As the smoke and haze cleared, it revealed a scene of chaos and destruction.
Several of the soldiersy on the ground, their armor and weapons damaged beyond use. Others were nursing severe burns, and theirbat effectiveness greatly diminished.
Shi Tian, however, didn''t let up. He knew that if he gave these elite soldiers a moment to recover, they would retaliate with deadly force.
His [Digital Specter] abilities allowed him to move with unmatched agility and speed, closing the distance between him and the wounded soldiers in the blink of an eye.
With precise strikes from his mechanical right arm, he swiftly neutralized any remaining threats, ensuring that none of them could pose a danger.
It was a brutal and efficient disy ofbat prowess, a testament to his growth and adaptability in the face of adversity.
"Should have listened to my warnings earlier." Shi Tian kicked one of the scorched soldiers away, showcasing his brutality.
