Chapter 66 Sneak Attack
The next second, Black Rose accurately and ruthlessly pierced Kokushibo's heart. At this moment, the winner was clear.
Blood flowed slowly along the blade of Black Rose, dyeing the ground beneath Kokushibo's feet red, and also dyeing the silent and solemn battlefield red.
Kokushibo lowered his head and looked at the broken sword in his hand, but his face was unexpectedly calm.
There was a complex light flashing in his eyes, in which there was recollection of the past, relief about the future, and deep emotion for this moment.
In the last moments of his life, deep in Kokushibo's soul, waves of emotions that had not been experienced in hundreds of years finally began to surge again.
In the long years since he became a ghost, he has not experienced such real and strong feelings of life for a long time.
Although the battle with Lin Yi was short, it allowed Kokushibo to find his long-lost self.
He raised his head, and six eyes were fixed on Lin Yi in front of him, as if they wanted to engrave Lin Yi's appearance deeply in their hearts.
"Young man, what's your name?" Kokushibo asked in a deep voice, revealing a rare gentleness and calmness in his voice.
"Lin Yi."
Kokushibo nodded, a smile appearing on his face.
Then, Kokushibo took out an old book from his arms. The cover was worn out, and it was obvious that Kokushibo had read it countless times.
Kokushibo gently threw the tattered book towards Lin Yi.
The book drew an arc in the air and finally landed steadily in Lin Yi's hands.
Lin Yi took the book and looked up, and found that Kokushibo's body was gradually dissipating and turning into a ball of ashes.
In the ashes, only the remaining clothes and the broken flute that was given to Yuichir that year were left.

Lin Yi tried to move forward and wanted to pick up the treasure chest on the ground that was flashing blue light.
But his body, which had lost too much blood, began to disobey Lin Yi's commands. Lin Yi had to use the tip of the sword to support his shaking body to prevent himself from falling.
Recalling Kokushibo's slashing blow, Lin Yi still felt a lingering fear.
That attack was extremely terrifying. If it weren't for the azure robe Lin Yi was wearing that blocked some of the attack for him, he would have probably died under Kokushibo's sword and become another ghost at the hands of the other party.
After putting away the blue treasure chest, Lin Yi cast two healing spells on himself.
As the effect of the treatment gradually emerged, Lin Yi's face, which had looked pale due to excessive blood loss, gradually regained a hint of redness.
Then, Lin Yi took out a fire egg from his backpack.
This flaming egg was bright red all over. Lin Yi carefully peeled off the shell of the flaming egg, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Suddenly, the aroma and hot taste of the flaming egg filled Lin Yi's mouth.
That feeling was as if he was tasting a ball of burning flame, and a warm current slowly flowed through Lin Yi's limbs and meridians.
Just as Lin Yi was about to throw away the eggshell, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged over him like a tide, causing his heart to tighten suddenly.
Almost instinctively, Lin Yi lowered his head.
A gunshot broke the tranquility of the night sky, and a sniper bullet flew past Lin Yi's right ear, bringing up a trickle of blood.
The moment he realized there was an ambush, Lin Yi's body reacted faster than his brain.
He rolled over with quick and decisive movements, and hid behind a rock in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yi pressed his body tightly against the rock, using it as cover to ensure his own safety.
Pulling out a small mirror from his personal space, Lin Yi used the reflection of the moonlight to see the scopes of several sniper rifles flashing in the mirror, like wolf eyes staring at prey in the dark.
These people were Yun Xi's carefully arranged backup. She took advantage of the gap between Lin Yi and Kokushibo's fierce battle and attempted to defeat Lin Yi in one fell swoop through a sneak attack.
Yun Xi knew very well that no matter who won, the opponent would inevitably fall into a brief period of weakness, which would be a good opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
A sniper from the Xichuan Adventure Group shook his head helplessly. That was the moment when Lin Yi was most relaxed, but Lin Yi had already reacted. It would be difficult to have such an opportunity again in the future.
With the cover of darkness, Lin Yi quietly left the rock from a slope like a ghost. His movements were light and quick, and did not attract the attention of the observers of the Xichuan Adventure Group.
Arriving at a shelter on high ground, Lin Yi carefully hid his body to ensure that he would not be discovered by the enemy.
With the help of the cover, Lin Yi stuck his head out and clearly observed the Xichuan Adventure Group lying behind the slope.
Lin Yi took out the NTW-20 anti-material sniper rifle from his personal space.
From the size of the bullet hole left by the opponent's sniper rifle just now, Lin Yi judged that the opponent was only using an ordinary conventional sniper rifle.
Compared with the NTW-20 anti-material sniper rifle in his hand, the opponent's sniper rifle was as lethal as a toy in a child's hand.
Just as the Xichuan Adventure Group was looking for Lin Yi's trace, suddenly, the chest of the contractor in the front who was responsible for measuring the wind speed exploded, and his upper body was torn into countless pieces in an instant, turning into a thick blood mist and dissipating in front of everyone.
The sudden attack was like a bolt from the blue, causing the other contractors to lose their minds instantly. They stared blankly at the gradually dissipating blood mist, their minds going blank.
Then, a dull gunshot was heard from a distance, echoing in the silent night sky.
The gunshot was like the call of the god of death, awakening the panic of the Xichuan adventure group.
All the contractors put away their weapons, used their own methods and began to flee in all directions.
Following three consecutive gunshots, the upper bodies of three more contractors exploded and turned into a cloud of blood mist.
The power of the NTW-20 anti-material sniper rifle is so terrifying that it was not originally designed to target humans.
Once an ordinary person is hit by this 20mm caliber bullet, due to the huge kinetic energy and destructive power of the bullet, the target will often be torn apart instantly, and it is a miracle if the body can be left intact.
Unfortunately, the NTW-20 anti-material sniper rifle in Lin Yi's hand can only hold six bullets in one magazine.
While Lin Yi was changing bullets, the rest of the contractors of the Xichuan Adventure Group had already taken advantage of the cover of night and terrain and disappeared without a trace.
