Chapter 744 Killing
Cheng Yu knew his own killing prowess was limited. However, he realized his cooperation with Wang Yun was almost flawless. The illusions he created could only be seen by himself. Take, for example, if he worked with others. It would be very easy for them to get taken in by his illusions just like the enemies. If there were really a pit in the ground that he had covered up with his illusions, would a normal person instantly remember what the original terrain looked like during battle? So they would similarly get confused along with the enemy and perhaps might even lose their balance and fall into the pit before the enemy.
But Wang Yun was different. His memory was exceptional. When he first joined the Kong Consortium’s intelligence agency, his ability shocked everyone.
Right now, no matter how Cheng Yu’s illusions changed, Wang Yun could still remember what the forest looked like originally. Furthermore, he was able to quickly plan all of his attacks to lure the enemy into a trap. The battle had already started. After killing a small group of Pyro Company members, Cheng Yu’s illusions started changing to prevent the remaining Pyro Company members from figuring out a pattern.
However, Wang Yun still managed to appear and disappear mysteriously. The illusions did not seem to affect him at all.
Before the battle, Wang Yun even specially instructed Cheng Yu, “Don’t exaggerate your illusions. When you sold the information, you said the Pyro Company saw through your illusions at a glance because they had someone with the ability to see through illusions, right?”
Cheng Yu answered, “Yes, they did.”
“If a fucking dragon were to suddenly appear in the sky, I would also immediately think that there was something off.” Wang Yun snapped, “Why didn’t you just create a false path and let them crash into the mountains instead? So be it real or fake, you haven’t even mastered the essence of illusions yet. I wonder why no one from the Anjing House warned you about that.”
Cheng Yu choked. “Can’t I like dragons? Can’t I be born in the Year of the Dragon?”
“If you wanna put it that way, we can’t continue this conversation,” Wang Yun said speechlessly.
But no matter how Cheng Yu argued with him, Wang Yun’s words reminded him that using the environment was much more useful than creating a dragon illusion.
When he saw how Wang Yun was always able to take the enemy by surprise with the help of his illusions, Cheng Yu started pondering if he could also develop his own close-range assassination skills since he was not weak physically.
Come to think of it, Cheng Yu and Wang Yun’s cooperation even seemed quite compatible.
But just as Wang Yun was about to continue killing more enemies, a person in the forest came flying over like a cannonball and collided with Wang Yun without any deviation. Wang Yun spat blood while airborne. The moment he landed on the ground, he did not even care about the pain he was feeling and quickly crawled back into the illusion!
It was a T5 combatant! The Pyro Company members were just cannon fodder. The real killer moves were still to be taken by the T5 combatants who had just appeared. It seemed they were the true last line of attack for the enemy.
No matter how good Wang Yun’s memory was or how realistic the illusions were, the T5 combatant managed to seize an opportunity and severely injured Wang Yun. Thus, Wang Yun could only take cover behind the illusions.
Nobody dared even breathe too loudly as they were afraid the enemy would sense their position by listening.
The T5 combatant stood calmly in the illusion as though he did not think Cheng Yu and the others could cause him any harm.
He used his hearing to get a sense of any abnormal activities in the surroundings. The illusion had not been dispelled yet, nor did he have the ability to see through it.
Cheng Yu looked at Wang Yun silently, seeing Wang Yun gesturing to him. This gesture was different from the one Luo Lan made to Ren Xiaosu. It was a common tactical gesture: Cover me.
When Cheng Yu saw this gesture, he was stunned. Could Wang Yun really be bold enough to want to kill the T5 combatant?
There was no time to think. Cheng Yu signaled to his assistant to get ready for battle at any moment.
But something unexpected happened. Wang Yun was lying on the ground quietly, but his internal injuries were too serious, and he could not help but cough up blood.
The sound of him coughing was like a signal of death. The T5 combatant’s figure vanished from where he was standing, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Wang Yun as he slashed down at him. “Open fire, save him!” Cheng Yu roared. They were all in the same boat. If Wang Yun died, the others would not survive either! Cheng Yu activated an illusion to disrupt the T5 combatant’s vision while Wang Yun’s subordinates had already rushed out to save their boss.
But how could they possibly be faster than the T5 combatant?
The saber in the T5 combatant’s hand slashed straight down, and a sharp whistling rent the air. But a split second later, something strange happened. Wang Yun floated backwards like a feather, and the T5 combatant’s attack missed!
Wang Yun’s body floated in the air weightlessly as the T5 combatant kept charging forward. But like a child grabbing at a feather in the wind, it pushed Wang Yun further and further away from him.
Wang Yun roared, “I can’t hold on for much longer! Stop him!”
A second later, his four subordinates fired off a barrage of gunfire, but the bullets only went as deep as the surface of the T5 combatant’s skin. Wang Yun’s heart sank. The T5 combatant was really as tough as the rumors said. Not even rifle fire could penetrate his body!
Fortunately, the impact of the bullets still had some effect on the T5 combatant. The T5 combatant turned around coldly and looked at Wang Yun’s subordinates. However, Wang Yun did not retreat. Instead, he drifted towards the T5 combatant.
The T5 combatant retaliated with a slash. Wang Yun’s eyes were red with rage as he pointed a finger at his opponent’s ear. The calm air wildly rushed straight into the T5 combatant’s ear and kept compressing within the narrow ear canal, making the T5 combatant scream in pain.
The saber in the T5 combatant’s hand had made contact with Wang Yun’s chest, but Wang Yun still managed to conjure up a final blast of air that pierced through the T5 combatant’s eardrums, and the powerful air pressure penetrated through his brain! “Sir!” Wang Yun’s four subordinates ran towards where he landed, while the T5 combatant collapsed stiffly on the ground.
Cheng Yu ran over to check on Wang Yun’s injuries as well. He thought Wang Yun might not survive this.
However, he was shocked to discover that Wang Yun was still wearing a thin bulletproof vest under his shirt. The T5 combatant’s saber had even cut through it. But fortunately, while Wang Yun had a slash wound on his chest, he managed to avoid any injuries to his organs.
Wang Yun paled as he searched around his own body. Eventually, his arm trembled as he took out a small vial of black medicine. “Apply it on me. Hurry, or it’ll be too late!”
He was losing blood rapidly. In fact, Wang Yun was not sure if the black medicine could save him.
When he bought the black medicine off Ren Xiaosu, he had kept some for himself to use in case he got injured in the Sacred Mountains. Cheng Yu sighed and said, “I only understand how terrifying a T5 combatant’s power is after facing one. I wonder how White Mask was able to crush that T5 combatant. He’s simply too scary!”
“Let’s get out of here quickly.” Wang Yun said strenuously, “There’s more than one T5 combatant around. The Pyro Company has made up their mind to finish us off this time. If the others don’t have any contingencies to deal with them, I’m afraid they won’t survive this.”
“Sir, where are we going?” his subordinate asked.
Wang Yun frowned. “We’ll head to where Luo Lan and the others are!”
“Do you think they’re capable of dealing with the T5 combatants?” Cheng Yu asked curiously.
“We gotta bank on it!”
