Chapter 749 The third Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll!
“You’re asking who the fuck Charry is?” Ren Xiaosu laughed. “Whoever looks like he’s been charred, of course!”
T5036 said with a sinister smile, “You can still laugh when you’re on the brink of death? Let’s see how you’re going to laugh later.”
“Don’t wait any longer. Let’s get started quickly,” Ren Xiaosu said. When T5036 heard this, he got so angry he saw red. However, Ren Xiaosu was very serious when he said that.
The T5 combatant swung his saber at him. He tried to get past Old Xu to finish off Ren Xiaosu first, but Old Xu stuck close behind him and did not give him a chance. The T5 combatant got wary. He did not even know when White Mask had appeared behind him.
As a matter of fact, the news of White Mask killing T5102 had already spread. Although his serial number was ranked higher than 102, they were both still categorized as T5s, so being ranked 36 might not necessarily mean he was stronger than 102.
However, he did not understand why White Mask was so protective of that infuriating young man.
Previously, Ren Xiaosu had controlled Old Xu to lead the escape and take away a large group of his teammates. As a result, their five-man team’s target became smaller.
But very quickly, Old Xu managed to shake off the rest of those teammates. Disregarding everything else and just based on Old Xu’s speed alone, no one could keep up with “his” pace. Ren Xiaosu would not possibly leave his trump card to run around out there.
After killing one of the T5s earlier, Ren Xiaosu had Old Xu lie here in ambush. All Ren Xiaosu needed to do was to pass by. “I’ll deal with White Mask first. You had better commit suicide before I finish him off. Otherwise, I won’t let you die even if you beg me to kill you.” T5036 sneered. With that, he went all out and tussled with Old Xu. The two of them clashed continuously in the wilderness, resorting to brute strength to fight. The result was an extremely violent battle.
The trees in the forest were destroyed as easy as paper by their battle.
Ren Xiaosu turned around and had a look at the sniping spot they used to be at. The troops that had been waylaid by the grenade trap had already turned around and were rushing towards them.
While he was thinking about how to deal with the situation, he caught a glimpse of a saber appearing near the treetop diagonally above him.
The saber brightly reflected the orange glow of the setting sun.
The tree branches shattered upon contact with the blade as the air around was mercilessly parted, sweeping up an air current in the process.
Before the blade could even reach him, the air current created by the blade had already made a mess of Ren Xiaosu’s hair.
But just as the blade was about to hit Ren Xiaosu, he lowered his head slightly and let it pass overhead.
When the T5 combatant, who had launched a sneak attack from the treetop, tried to use his full strength to slash at Ren Xiaosu again, Ren Xiaosu pushed off his feet and retreated out of the reach of the blade’s swing!
This time, in order to kill these two snipers, the Pyro Company had sent out three T5s rather than two!
It was only because Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin had disrupted their plans from the beginning that the commander behind the scenes wanted to deal with the greatest threat. The T5 combatant who had just joined in raised his long saber diagonally, only to see the young man facing him looking up at him with crimson eyes.
With City Crusher activated, Charry, who was on the battlefield off to the side, suddenly felt the pressure multiply. Old Xu, whom he was facing right now, was also affected by Ren Xiaosu’s use of City Crusher!
Just as Ren Xiaosu was about to take advantage of the 30 seconds City Crusher gave him to kill the T5 combatant, he was surprised to hear the voice from the palace speaking.
“Quest: An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Host, please express your attitude of reconciliation and improve your relationship with the enemy.”
T5019 said with great interest, “Dodging my blade while I was ambushing you, I have to say that you are the first one to achieve that. I think the higher-ups would be very interested in your DNA. By bringing you and White Mask back, T5036 and I will score a great contribution for sure.”
Ren Xiaosu remained silent throughout.
T5019 continued sizing up Ren Xiaosu and said, “But I’m very curious. Where is that companion of yours? Is it because you know you’re about to die, so you’re trying to buy some time for your companion to escape?”
But Ren Xiaosu was not in the mood to answer him at all. Just as he had said previously, coexisting with the palace was more like learning how to comprehend and understand what it really wanted. How was he supposed to view this quest that required him to improve his relationship with the enemy?
He would have to express his attitude first before seeking to improve their relationship.
Turn hostility into friendship? If he wanted to achieve a normal level of completion for the quest, that would be more or less enough. But Ren Xiaosu wanted it to be perfect.
Become friends? Somehow, it still felt a little lacking. Become brothers? Ren Xiaosu still felt it was not perfect enough. When T5019 saw Ren Xiaosu not responding at all, he got a little impatient. “Hey, I was asking you a question. Where’s your companion?”
Ren Xiaosu said, “Call me Daddy.”
T5019 was confused.
‘As long as I can complete the mission, I’m willing for us to have a father-son relationship!
“Quest complete. Awarded Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll.”
At the same time the palace announced the quest had been completed, the Pyro Company discovered that the original sniping spot where two of their combatants had been killed by the grenade trap had been abandoned. As such, they did not search the spot carefully.
Moreover, the battle between Old Xu and the T5 combatant had already started, so they hurriedly rushed down the hill towards Ren Xiaosu in an attack.
As a result, no one realized Yang Xiaojin had emerged from a pile of decomposing leaves and appeared behind them.
The setting sun slowly descended behind the horizon as the afterglow was replaced by darkness that cast down on her face.
Breathe.
Yang Xiaojin knelt on one knee. Her arm holding the black sniper rifle was as steady as a statue. She left the world to spin on its own and allowed the mountain breeze to blow through the sky. Meanwhile, her willpower was as firm as a rock.
Killing people was probably what she was best at in life. Furthermore, someone whose life was seemingly more important than her own was helping her attract everyone’s attention at this moment.
She could not fail, nor would she fail.
She pulled the trigger.
A bullet flew over the heads of the troops. Before T5019 could figure out what was going on with Ren Xiaosu, he felt a great sense of danger looming over him. He jumped to the left with no regard for his own safety. When he jumped, T5019 could only watch helplessly as the young man smiled at him.
With a muffled bang, the bullet hit T5019’s waist. The bullet carrying a copious amount of kinetic energy could not fully penetrate his body, but it kept on spinning within it. It was like someone had stabbed a knife into his lower back, twisted the handle of the knife, and crushed his organs!
However, T5 combatants tended to be so strong and full of vitality that he still had the strength to struggle to his feet even though he was seriously injured. T5019 did not care whether Charry was dead or alive anymore. He only wanted to make his own escape.
“Isn’t it a little too late to escape now?” Ren Xiaosu slowly chased after him.
T5019 paid no attention to whatever was going on behind him. However, he suddenly realized a void had opened up on the path he was escaping towards. A steam locomotive’s whistle came out of the void, paired with a metallic clanging of tracks.
It was too late for him to dodge. The steam locomotive crushed the T5 combatant under the train tracks as a total of 16 carriages passed over him, and his life force could only dissipate helplessly.
On the other side, Old Xu came over with a bloodied saber in its hand. Ren Xiaosu jumped onto the steam locomotive with a smile and headed straight for the Pyro Company’s troops together with Old Xu.
But Ren Xiaosu did not care about them a bit. He was going back to the sniping spot to pick up Yang Xiaojin. His girlfriend was there.
The Pyro Company’s troops were knocked around by the steam locomotive and sent scattering everywhere. The commander shouted into his radio, “It’s Wang Congyang! Wang Congyang has not left the Sacred Mountains yet! I repeat, Wang Congyang has not left the Sacred Mountains yet!”
