"Xiao Jiu! No..."

Watching Xiao Jiu also fall after being shot, Ai Nan's desperation reached a point of near-frantic despair as he let out such a roar.

Although he knew that this was just a simulated combat using paintballs and there was no actual risk to life, when Ai Nan watched his teammates fall one by one before him, he could finally empathize with the sorrow and despair that the older generation of soldiers felt watching their comrades fall.

War is just that cruel, either you die or I do!

In the past, it was Ai Nan's team that would annihilate the opposition with absolute superiority; even when they lost once, it was to the strongest special forces team of the Jincheng Military Region, and they had also achieved a victory that cost the enemy more than half their numbers...

For this exercise, it seemed they had almost completely wiped out the enemy, and their combat achievements already appeared to be very good. Such a result might not seem much on its own, but if anyone knew the entire process, their team would be thoroughly humiliated.

A team of nine people!

Ambushing six on the other side!

Among them, two didn't even put up a fight and surrendered after not firing a single shot.

Out of the four remaining, three were the ones they focused on, and by using their team's better familiarity with the terrain, they managed to eliminate these three first.

One could say the start was perfect, almost like a dream, where in less than ten minutes they had annihilated the majority of the enemy's force, leaving only one person alive.

Unfortunately, that one survivor happened to be their team's nightmare!

Eight shots!

Qin Fang had fired only eight shots!

Seven of those shots were made using a sniper rifle from a distance, showcasing Qin Fang's superior sniping skills. On this point alone, even if Ai Nan didn't want to admit it, he had to, as he knew he did not have such abilities.

Another was taken down at close range by a Desert Eagle, and at that time, Qin Fang was only two to three hundred metres away from Ai Nan. If Qin Fang had set his sights on Ai Nan instead of his teammate, Ai Nan would have already been killed.

This fact, Ai Nan was very clear about in his heart, as much as he understood it!

Without a doubt, Qin Fang didn't target him first, but instead eliminated everyone else before truly facing Ai Nan. This was indeed a respectful gesture towards Ai Nan.

Of course, to the always prideful Ai Nan, such respect was a humiliation!

"Qin Fang!!!"

At that moment, Ai Nan was truly at the peak of his fury, and even though he still did not know where Qin Fang was, he still let out such a roar.

"You're calling me?"

As if in response to Ai Nan's roar, Qin Fang's voice came through from not far away, and even... astonishingly, Qin Fang brazenly walked out from behind a stone cover.

Dressed in an army green camouflage uniform, wearing a matching steel helmet, with a red cloth tied around his arm, and combat boots on his feet, all standard equipment similar to Ai Nan's. The only difference was that Ai Nan had a blue cloth tied around his arm.

Holding an M24 sniper rifle in his hands, the same model as Ai Nan's, it seemed the two had some fate in common, only now they were each other's adversaries.

"You actually dare to show yourself..."

If Qin Fang continued to hide in the shadows as before, Ai Nan truly would have had no way to deal with him. With Ai Nan in the open and Qin Fang concealed, the situation would be greatly disadvantageous to him.

Qin Fang could kill him at any time, but Ai Nan didn't even know where Qin Fang was.

"Why shouldn't I come out?"

Qin Fang laughed, a laugh so casual and plain, yet it sounded so mocking in Ai Nan's ears.

Xiao Jiu and the others were not far off, now in a "killed in action" state. They clearly detested Qin Fang deeply, yet they were the defeated, no longer having the right to accuse Qin Fang of anything, let alone this wasn't a real killing, they were just eliminated from the exercise, even though Qin Fang's glorious achievements resulted in a complete loss of face for them.

"What do you want?"

Ai Nan's face wasn't looking very good, but he also didn't raise his gun. At least Qin Fang had come out of hiding to stand before him openly, instead of ambushing from the shadows and directly eliminating him. From this point, Ai Nan actually had quite the respect for Qin Fang.

"A confrontation exercise? Of course, it's about confronting..."

Qin Fang grinned, "Before, you outnumbered and outmatched us, with one against nine, I had to resort to some tricks. Now well... we both use sniper rifles, why not have a one-on-one duel?"

Qin Fang's words gave Ai Nan quite a bit of face. This whole affair had Qin Fang making Ai Nan's group lose a lot of face. Qin Fang himself didn't care—after all, the Jincheng Military Region may be powerful, but they didn't have authority over Ninghai.

But Li Yang was from the Jincheng Military Region, and if Qin Fang seriously offended all these military sons too harshly, it was likely Li Yang would also be implicated. Although there wouldn't be any serious consequences, Qin Fang didn't want to cause trouble for his friend.

As a sharpshooter, even hiding and sniping from the shadows was justified. Initially, when Ai Nan's team faced the special forces team from the Jincheng Military Region, and they could cause the enemy more than half in casualties, it was mainly due to Ai Nan's sniping making a significant impact. To think that these military sons, whose coordination was merely adequate, could counter those special warriors—it was nothing short of a fantasy.

The strongest special forces soldiers in the military region weren't made of tofu; they were the kind who had killed people before, far more formidable than these young military scions who had grown up in a greenhouse.

Qin Fang was simply giving them a taste of their own medicine. Even if Ai Nan's team didn't measure up to those special forces soldiers, such a flawless performance still wasn't enough to prove that Qin Fang's gunmanship was stronger than Ai Nan's.

The only way to decide the victor was—

"A one-on-one duel?"

Ai Nan was also startled when he heard this. He truly hadn't expected Qin Fang to make such a choice while in a position of absolute advantage. It was quite a surprise.

"Fine, I accept!"

There was no reason for Ai Nan not to accept such a request. At least at this moment, the two of them were on a very fair and equal footing.

The competition had continued up to now and had reached the real final round. Who would emerge as the ultimate victor depended on the outcome of this one-on-one duel between the two men.

A distance of two hundred meters was neither far nor close.

But for a sniper rifle, this wasn't the optimal range. If the distance could be stretched to around five hundred meters, that would be perfect.

However, the closer the distance, the more it tested a sniper's strength and skill level.

Of course, luck was also very important!

All the "killed" soldiers had come over now, including Xiao Jiu from Ai Nan's side and Qiao Zhenfei, Chu Yunxuan, Li Yang, and others from Qin Fang's side had all arrived.

Since they had been eliminated for being "killed in action," they could now only watch this duel as pure spectators.

"I really didn't expect this, this guy... too impressive!"

Li Yang now truly admired Qin Fang wholeheartedly. A single person with two guns, moving through the mountains and ridges, it took only eight shots for him to "kill" eight of Ai Nan's nine people. Sadly, their remaining five people were completely annihilated by this "rookie team" without being able to touch the corner of the enemy's clothes.

"I told you earlier, Qin Fang's marksmanship is pretty good!"

Of course, Chu Yunxuan was the happiest here; she had known earlier that Qin Fang's gunmanship was at a professional level, a true sharpshooter. Li Yang's marksmanship was considered good, but compared to Qin Fang, the gap was huge.

As for Ai Nan, Chu Yunxuan never paid him any attention.

Why Qin Fang insisted on a duel with Ai Nan was not only considering Li Yang's relationship but also Chu Yunxuan's. After all, Ai Nan was one of the young masters from the Jincheng Military Region with the highest status and position pursuing Chu Yunxuan.

As long as he could intimidate him, Qin Fang believed others would be much more compliant.

"How many shots do you think Qin Fang will need to take down Ai Nan?"

This time, Li Yang would not argue with Chu Yunxuan. He had acknowledged Qin Fang's marksmanship strength, and with his understanding of Ai Nan, Ai Nan had no chance of victory when facing Qin Fang. The only thing that mattered was how many shots Ai Nan could withstand before being taken down.

"One shot!"

Chu Yunxuan glanced over there calmly and spoke confidently in Qin Fang.

"One shot..."

Li Yang couldn't help but be astonished; he had originally wanted to say three shots, but now it seemed that he had still underestimated Qin Fang's strength. Although he didn't completely agree with Chu Yunxuan—who might be biased due to their short acquaintance—her certainty could also be a case of loving the house and its crow.

The duel between Qin Fang and Ai Nan was simple: the two stood two hundred meters apart, then fired at each other simultaneously, dodging, ducking, or using other methods were allowed, but only one could emerge victorious in the end.

Of course, they were snipers and could only use sniper rifles; the use of Qin Fang's Desert Eagle was not permitted.

At this two-hundred-meter distance, if the Desert Eagle had been allowed, Ai Nan would have had no chance of victory...

Bang~~

Almost simultaneously, the two raised their sniper rifles, and even Ai Nan was a bit faster... no, to be precise, Qin Fang had deliberately paused for a moment, giving Ai Nan a chance to brace himself beforehand.

But even so, in the end, there was only one gunshot... because the other person didn't get the chance to fire before being hit.

Who was hit?

Without a doubt, it was Ai Nan who was shot!

A headshot with one bullet!

Another headshot with one bullet!

Ai Nan had no chance to shoot; he just saw Qin Fang suddenly raise his hand, and the bullet had already hit his head, so fast there was no delay for aiming.

"Damn, really one shot!"

Li Yang's eyes bulged when he saw Qin Fang deliberately slow down; his heart leaped to his throat. But to his amazement, the one to fire first was still Qin Fang, even if a step slower, he was still faster than Ai Nan...(To be continued.
