No one knew when that person in the white mask had hidden at the foot of the mountain. Not even the members of the Anjing House who had been lying here in ambush since earlier were aware.
Up on the mountain, these Anjing House members broke out in cold sweat. If this person were here to kill them, wouldn’t it mean they would not have even known how they might have died?
Fortunately, this person was here for the Pyro Company!
“Wait a minute, isn’t that the legendary White Mask?” someone asked.
White Mask had become too well-known in recent times. He had slaughtered many people at Stronghold 73 and even made it onto the newspapers for facing the Experimentals at Stronghold 74. Later, there were also rumors he had appeared at Luoyang City during the Qinghe crisis.
It seemed he was always involved in the major events that happened recently. However, no one knew where he came from.
Initially, Li Yingyun, Qin Sheng, and Zhang Qingxi had suspected Ren Xiaosu and White Mask were in fact the same person. But later, the two of them appeared at Hope Media’s headquarters at the same time, so that dispelled their suspicions.
However, this White Mask would not help the Qinghe Group for no reason, so he must be somehow related to Ren Xiaosu, right?
But of course, the Riders would definitely not tell anyone about this.
At this moment, T5102 was dashing crazily past the gunfire. As he ran, he kicked up a large cloud of dust.
Meanwhile, the speed of White Mask, who was rushing towards him in the opposite direction, did not decrease at all. If the two of them were to meet each other head-on, it would probably be no different from a high-speed train collision.
Even supernatural beings would get severely injured by that, let alone normal people.
The impact of this collision would crush a supernatural being’s organs!
“Neither of them are going to stop?” The supernatural being up on the mountain looked down with his binoculars. “These two are way too ferocious. They’re both probably going to die if they really collide with each other.”
Supernatural beings tended to cherish their lives a lot. Since they had already become supernatural beings, who would be willing to die before they got to enjoy their lives first?
But now, these two people seemed to be acting out of spite. It was like they did not care about anything else.
In a battle between experts, the first move would not involve a saber or sword but intimidation.
Whoever retreated first would have been intimidated.
This was not mysticism but a matter of psychology.
Furthermore, whoever changed their trajectory during this high-speed motion would inevitably affect their balance.
And balance was very crucial in battle.
Up on the mountain, the professional team of assassins had stopped firing and started to watch this first-class battle between two supernatural beings.
In the distance, the Pyro Company’s convoy was trying to give support to T5102, but they could not catch up with his speed. And they did not dare to chase too closely either. After all, there were still heavy machine gun nests up on the mountain. If those heavy machine guns were not destroyed first, it would be as good as suicidal for them to go over.
“Old Xu’s” and T5102’s speed was getting faster and faster. But just as everyone thought that they were going to collide, T5102 suddenly dodged to the left. At the very last second, T5102 still got intimidated!
But before he could regain his balance with that maneuver to the left, “Old Xu” had already grabbed hold of his collar. His clothes were even torn in the process.
“Old Xu” twisted its hips with some force as it traveled forward at high speed while dragging T5102 through the air. Like a shot putter pushing a ball, it forcefully threw this living person about 10 meters up into the air!
Many people liked resorting to flashy attacks, such as flying kicks or spinning kicks, but all true combatants knew that whoever’s feet went off the ground first and lost their balance while fighting would have already lost half the battle.
That was because no matter how strong your hips and legs were, you needed to have a firm footing on the ground to fully exert your strength.
Therefore, the moment the two sides came into contact and T5102 got intimidated, “Old Xu” was able to catch hold of his Achilles heel.
When T5102 was thrown up into the air, he tried his best to turn his hips around to attack “Old Xu,” who was approaching from behind. But how could “Old Xu” possibly give him a chance?
Before T5102 could adjust his balance in the air, the black saber had already come slashing at him from behind.
T5102 grit his teeth and decided to use his left arm to block the blade. In this way, he would still have a chance to get back on the ground and join back up with the convoy even if he lost an arm.
But he could only watch helplessly as the black saber slashed through his arm like a hot knife cutting through butter. Then it continued slicing through his body without any resistance!
He was a T5-ranked combatant of the Pyro Company. His body was capable of resisting bullets, but why couldn’t he even block a saber slash?!
A member of the Anjing House hiding up on the distant mountain said in shock, “Judging by his speed, I guess he should be a T5-ranked Dawn member, right? What kind of saber is that? It can even cut through the T5-ranked combatant’s body?!”
It wasn’t that no one had ever fought with a T5-ranked combatant before. But weren’t they supposed to be so strong they were almost invulnerable, with even firearms being ineffective against them?
However, this T5-ranked combatant suffered a crushing defeat against White Mask.
Actually, it was not that the T5-ranked combatant was too weak in the battle, but that Ren Xiaosu had taken advantage of the situation.
T5102 wanted to scare “Old Xu” away by relying on his strong body. He knew most people in this world would not dare to collide straight into him. But he did not know “Old Xu” was not even a person at all.
Others might be afraid to collide with him. But to Ren Xiaosu, all he would experience was a little pain and some cold sweat at most.
As a result, T5102’s wrong move affected all his subsequent moves. Because he got intimidated at the last second, he lost the initiative in the battle for that moment. He was then killed after a series of attacks by “Old Xu” that seized the opportunity.
If he had stood firm and fought steadily, “Old Xu” might not have a good way to defeat him. In fact, Ren Xiaosu might even have to resort to activating City Crusher to do that.
At some point, Ren Xiaosu even thought that if the Pyro Company had a lot of these T5-ranked combatants in their ranks, the Anjing House would probably not be a match for them.
After “Old Xu” killed the T5-ranked combatant, it went straight for the Pyro Company’s convoy. The Anjing House members who were watching the battle from the mountain said, “Let’s head down quickly. Who knows? We might be able to get something from that T5 combatant.”
But as soon as they got up, a sniper bullet came from nowhere and hit the ground behind them, sending loose gravel flying.
The five of them were immediately stunned and did not dare to move a muscle. “Sniper!”
“Did you get a clear view of where the sniper’s firing from?”
“No, but the sniper’s probably in the 9 to 3 o’clock direction.”
“Is there any point in giving such a wide range? You might as well say you don’t know!”
The five of them stayed still. As the other party did not kill them directly, it meant they did not want to start a killing spree. At this moment, it was better not to go looking for trouble since they were completely exposed and within shooting range.
Since the other party wanted them to stay here quietly, they would just have to remain in their positions obediently.
A supernatural being who could kill a T5-ranked combatant, and a sniper who was lying in ambush in the shadows, just who were these people?! They were terrifying!
Remaining hidden in the shadows, Ren Xiaosu was watching “Old Xu” as it attacked the convoy. He asked over the radio, “I’m going to attack the convoy soon. Are those people hiding on the mountain going to cause any trouble? That was an illusion just now, right? It caused quite a commotion, but it’s a pity that it was quite useless.”
Yang Xiaojin was covered with a yellow camouflage cloth as she lay in the wilderness. She took out a piece of chocolate and said while eating, “Don’t worry, they’re as quiet as quails now.”
