Ever since he escaped from Stronghold 146, Ren Xiaosu had not experienced getting chased by anyone in the past two months. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was odd. Didn’t he only come here to watch the commotion? Why did the Pyro Company start chasing after him then?
Although he had shot and killed another member of the Pyro Company just now, they were the ones who attacked first!
‘I might have been holding a sniper rifle on the roof, but it was only because the view was clearer through the scope. I really did not intend to attack anyone! I don’t care whether you believe it or not, I only wanted to have a look! So since I was only here to have a look, and you all tried to attack me, I’m forced to fight back!’
In the entirety of Stronghold 63, it was estimated that there were only ten people from the Pyro Company’s advanced fighting force in total. However, the Pyro Company ended up splitting half of their forces to attack him even though the Anjing House was the one attacking them…
Who was he supposed to bring the attention of this injustice to?
Ren Xiaosu thought about it carefully. Could he defeat the three members of the Pyro Company? Yes!
When he thought of this, Ren Xiaosu wondered why the hell he should keep running.
Ren Xiaosu came to a stop on the roof of a building. The three members of the Pyro Company were chasing after him in a triangular formation when they saw Ren Xiaosu stop in his tracks and were bewildered.
Although they did not witness how Ren Xiaosu killed their comrades earlier, they knew he must be an extremely powerful supernatural being if he could kill two members of their Dusk squad in a row.
As the three members of Dusk came to a gradual stop, the two sides were now facing each other on the roofs of two buildings, separated by a gap of more than 20 meters.
Ren Xiaosu’s fighting spirit was so fired up that it felt like an intimidating presence that could fill people’s hearts with fear. Suddenly, the three members of Dusk were a little afraid to chase after him anymore.
Thinking about it calmly now, the three of them had only pursued the enemy when they saw him running away just now. But now that they had caught up to him, they were finally able to consider if they could defeat him or not.
As sirens rang out in the distance, a continuous stream of Stronghold 63’s security forces started heading over to encircle the area. They were looking to capture all the members of the Anjing House and the Pyro Company in the stronghold.
The three Dusk members looked at each other and got ready to make a move. No matter how powerful their opponent was, he was all by himself at this moment. As they were genetically modified super soldiers, how could they not take care of one person if the three of them attacked all at once?
“We can’t wait any longer. If we don’t kill him today, we’ll be seen as defective goods when we return.”
“Kill him!”
But before they could come to a decision, they saw Ren Xiaosu slowly take a few steps back. The three Dusk members wondered, “Is he going to run away again?”
Then they unexpectedly saw Ren Xiaosu starting to charge towards them from the opposite building.
Those few steps back that he took were actually to facilitate his run-up!
“Open fire!”
The three of them aimed their silenced guns at Ren Xiaosu and started shooting rapidly. With their physiques, they could easily match Ren Xiaosu’s movement speed as they kept their aim on him.
But before they could even pull the trigger, Ren Xiaosu’s armor immediately covered his entire body.
In the eyes of the three Pyro Company members, the figure leaping over from the opposite rooftop gradually got larger. Then it suddenly turned into an indestructible armored being that no one could lay a finger on.
This turn of events was really shocking. When the bullets from the pistols hit the armor, they could only leave behind a white mark without causing any substantial damage.
“Wait, it’s him!” A member of the Pyro Company roared, “What’s he doing here!”
After the battle in the Northwest, any organization that had paid attention to the situation there would know there was a young man who could conjure up a set of armor and had single-handedly destroyed a stronghold.
Any organization with ambition would have to keep abreast of such developments, after all. Although the Northwest was a remote place, it would be extremely stupid of them if they did not even know about an important development like that.
Not only that, but they also had to purchase the information and intel regarding this young man from the various secret intelligence organizations.
But to their surprise, the two secret intelligence organizations that were usually the most familiar with the happenings in the Southwest and Northwest expressed they did not have any specific information about this young man.
After Fortress 178 marched into Stronghold 146, the first thing they did was not to take over the resources of the stronghold but to search for all of the wanted portraits of that young man and destroy them.
When the members of the Pyro Company realized the enemy they were facing turned out to be that legendary figure, they immediately turned gloomy!
One of them shouted into their radio, “We’ve encountered—”
Before he could finish speaking, a black shadow dashed into them from behind. The black saber pierced the chest of the person speaking, and blood instantly filled the alveoli of his lungs. When he tried to speak, blood started gushing out of his throat.
The remaining two people quickly fled in two different directions. Their speed was comparable to that of the best of the best among superhumans and might even be a tad faster than them.
In an instant, their powerful brains figured out their best escape routes.
However, they were shocked to find they could only cover two steps before they were quickly caught up to. Although they were fast, Ren Xiaosu was even faster!
Even without activating City Crusher, Ren Xiaosu’s physical fitness had almost placed him above all the other members of Dusk.
As fireworks shot up into the rousing night sky again, the chaotic mixture of sirens, gunshots, screams, and shouts filled Stronghold 63 with the smell of blood and smoke.
Ren Xiaosu and the shadow clone brushed past each other as the two figures blocked the two escaping members of Dusk separately. Their movements were so exact that they looked like two sets of synchronized machines!
Since he had used his armor here, he could not allow any of the Pyro Company members present to leave alive.
Seeing that these two members of Dusk had jumped off either side of the roof to the other roofs, Ren Xiaosu and his shadow clone jumped after them. The strong force they generated as they leaped off from the rooftop even shattered the waterproof layer of the rooftop.
When Ren Xiaosu got ahead of the Dusk member in midair, he turned around and slashed his saber. His opponent had wanted to pull out a saber from his belt to block the slash, but Ren Xiaosu pressed down on his hand in the air. No matter how hard he tried, he could not draw the saber from his belt. Then Ren Xiaosu stabbed the black saber into his heart fast as lightning.
‘Why are you so strong?’ This was the only thought the member of Dusk had before he died. Ren Xiaosu kicked off him in midair and flew towards the roof on the opposite building. Due to the great inertia, he slid for five to six meters on the building’s rooftop on one knee before finally stopping.
Meanwhile, his shadow clone on the other side was even more efficient at killing its victim. Even Ren Xiaosu had to admit that his shadow clone’s physical fitness was much stronger than his…
Ren Xiaosu panted as he recalled his shadow clone while he stood on the rooftop. Afterwards, he quickly fled the stronghold. After experiencing so much tonight, he had no need to risk his life here anymore.
As for who would come out victorious in the battle between the Anjing House and the Pyro Company, that had nothing to do with him.
