Casey stared angrily at the guy with the black hood in front of him. “You don’t seem to be on our intel.”
Xu Cheng flicked the butt of his cigarette and blew on it. “So now I’m here to let you guys get to know me better. The drones above your heads will record footage of me for your intelligence, and I’ll have to do my best to put on a show for myself and make you guys a stepping stone to my fame.”
“You?” Bowen sneered. “We don’t know what the hell you’ve been doing around here, but you will be helpless in front of true power even if you have a gun!”
“Who said I was going to use a gun to fight you guys?” Xu Cheng laughed. “Can’t you see that I’ve already thrown away my sniper rifle?”
He looked around at the sand and said, “I don’t have much time, this storm of sand will probably calm down and disappear in a minute, so I’ll have to take out the three of you before it does.”
“You’re mistaken, we’re the ones taking you out!” Zachery said as he threw a punch at Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng purposely took on this punch with his chest.
Dang!
Zachery felt like his bones were going to crack!
His hard fist struck Xu Cheng’s chest, which was even harder, as if he had hit an aluminum composite steel plate with his bare hands.
Zachery’s face twisted in pain, and Xu Cheng reached out to grab his arm when he saw his hands withdraw.
Zachery tried to struggle out of it, but Xu Cheng gave it a hard twist.
With a crack, Zachery’s wrist was broken by Xu Cheng and hung loose vertically at a 90 degrees angle!
“Ah!” The sound of Zachery’s scream was heard directly by the commanders.
“Whose voice was that?” Their drones couldn’t capture anything visually inside the cloud of sand dust and the sudden sound of this scream in the quiet atmosphere added to the tension in the air.
“It sounded like…. It sounded like Zachery!”
“What happened to him? He’s S-rank! You sure it’s his voice?” the Commander-in-chief asked.
A few instructors answered, “I’m sure it’s him, I’m familiar with his voice.”
Technician: “The sound frequencies confirm that they came from Zachery’s headset. It’s him!”
The four commanders’ faces looked even worse.
“Zachary, answer if you can hear me!”
When Zachery’s wrist was broken off, Casey and Bowen came over to take some of the pressure off of him as they closed in on Xu Cheng.
Casey kicked Xu Cheng’s neck which could be fatal to an average person as they would die from a broken spine; yet Xu Cheng raised his arm to block his kick, and his steel-hard arms struck against Casey’s retracting foot, making Casey feel like he had kicked a huge hard rock.
He withdrew his foot with a stare while Bowen reached for Xu Cheng’s heart with a dagger.
Xu Cheng grabbed the dagger with one hand; not caring how sharp it was, he grabbed it over with his bare hands and bent it forcefully!
The dagger broke on the spot, and he grabbed the broken dagger blade and plunged it directly into Bowen’s throat. His actions were so fluid that Bowen didn’t even have the time to react nor think that Xu Cheng would catch the dagger with his bare hands, break it, and attack him with it. He wasn’t able to prepare himself for the sudden turn of events at all.
