Chapter 36: Chapter 32: Bloody Battle
“Get out of the way!” Secretary Jin said coldly.
Cobra and Moke’s bodies retreated, disengaging from the fight.
The silver-faced man, Seth, and others stared at Secretary Jin, their expressions grave.
“Bang!” Fang Ze fired his gun directly, hitting Secretary Jin, but only an energy halo appeared on his combat clothes, merely making his body shake before he continued moving forward.
“Bang, bang…”
Fang Ze fired continuously, but after a while, Secretary Jin seemed to adapt to the gun’s power, ignoring it. Suddenly, he accelerated, sprinting forward, and the street ground trembled.
“Energy.” Xu Mo stared at that side, sensing the flow of energy from the opponent’s battle armor.
This was an advanced battle armor, different from the basic model they wore.
“It’s an advanced source power armor,” Fang Ze said beside him. The gun was useless; the firepower was too weak to shake the source power armor. This kind of advanced source power armor wasn’t something an ordinary person could wear; it came from the technology of the upper world, only possessed by ‘big figures’ in the underworld.
Clearly, this person’s identity was not ordinary.
Seth also stepped forward, wielding a heavy sword in his heavy armor. His strength was inherently powerful; when he wielded the heavy sword, it was as if Mount Tai was pressing down, slashing directly at the opponent’s charging body.
The opponent raised his left arm, directly blocking the heavy sword with his hand. With a loud crash, the fearsome power of the heavy sword was blocked by his arm, merely making his arm shake. Energy halos flowed, and at the same time, his right arm punched forward, hitting Seth’s heavy armor directly.
The sound of cracking was heard, the heavy sword cracked, and Seth’s body was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
“Armor breaking!” Xu Mo stared at the battlefield. Was this the armor breaking that Ye Qingdie mentioned?
When the opponent attacked, energy flowed on his battle armor, combined with his tremendous power, shattering the steel-built heavy armor. How strong must this power be? How powerful was the armor’s augmentation?
Even wearing source power armor, the opponent must have cultivated source power and was absolutely strong.
Xu Mo realized that the figure in the golden mask was the one behind Cobra, the same person who ordered Cobra to kill his entire family.
The law enforcement team and Cobra’s men were all present. His parents were killed because they went to the law enforcement team to report them.
The silver-faced man also rushed forward, his source power sword cleaving downward. The opponent didn’t confront it head-on as before but dodged sideways and then punched. His movements were fluid, indicating he was not only strong but also skilled in combat techniques.
Or rather, killing techniques.
The silver-faced man’s combat power was stronger than Seth’s. His sword was fast, curving to slash at the opponent’s eyes. Secretary Jin retracted his right hand to block the sword and attacked forward with his left hand.
“Haiiss…” The sharp noise forced Secretary Jin to slide to the side, but at the same time, the silver-faced man was hit by his left hand, retreating even further.
“Bang.” Gunshots rang out. Fang Ze shot at Secretary Jin’s head. Secretary Jin’s head tilted, the bullet hitting the part of his face covered by the battle armor, making his head shake slightly. He stared at Fang Ze, his eyes flashing with cold killing intent.
“Buzz.” His body suddenly erupted with terrifying speed, rushing toward Fang Ze’s position. Seth stood in front of Fang Ze, and simultaneously, the silver-faced man rushed toward the opponent, his sword slashing at the opponent’s head.
Secretary Jin directly clashed with him, both fists striking repeatedly, clashing with the sword, their speed so fast it was dazzling.
With a loud crash, the silver-faced man’s chin was hit by a fist, and his body was sent flying.
Secretary Jin’s body didn’t stop attacking. As the opponent flew up, he still advanced, his foot stomping on the ground. His body leaped into the air, stepping down.
“Boom…” The ground cracked. The silver-faced man crashed heavily to the ground, spitting blood. Secretary Jin’s foot stepped on him. Fang Ze and Xu Mo fired simultaneously, but Secretary Jin ignored the bullets, raising his hand. The bullets hit his palm, causing energy halos to flow and his palm to shake, but his foot kept stepping down on the silver-faced man.
“Get lost.” Seth roared, rushing in with his heavy sword slashing down. At the moment Secretary Jin’s foot stepped down, the heavy sword arrived. Secretary Jin raised his hand to block. In his haste, the powerful force made his body shake back, but the silver-faced man took another kick. Even with battle armor, he couldn’t bear it, spitting blood again.
Xiao Qi rushed forward, dragging the silver-faced man’s body back.
Xu Mo looked at the critically injured silver-faced man, his face changing. The man in the source power armor was someone they couldn’t deal with.
Who was he?
In his previous perception, there had never been such a person on Stran Street.
He must have appeared during the fight.
This person’s sense of oppression was too strong. In front of them, he was invincible. They couldn’t break through his source power armor.
Creaking sounds were heard continuously. Seth was enduring the opponent’s frenzied attacks. The cracks in the heavy armor grew more and more, accompanied by the sound of heavy armor breaking. The steel on Seth’s chest was shattered. The opponent didn’t stop, his fist striking again, intending to punch through the broken area.
At this moment, Xiao Qi’s body leaped, his arm turning into a blade, slashing at the opponent’s eyes. Secretary Jin’s attack stopped, raising his hand to grab Xiao Qi’s transforming blade, crushing it forcefully but still not letting go. His other arm punched out.
With a crisp sound, Xiao Qi’s body flew out, his mechanical arm breaking off.
“Xiao Qi.” Seth shouted, desperate.
Why was it like this?
Who was this person? How could he be so strong?
Xiao Qi’s body crashed heavily to the ground, blood seeping from his mouth.
“Xiao Qi.” Xu Mo glanced at the broken arm, only to see the opponent lifting his head, looking at Xu Mo and forcing a bitter smile: “Luckily, it’s a fake.”
His smile was bleak, whispering: “You should go, this has nothing to do with you.”
Xu Mo was unwittingly dragged into this. He just wanted to kill Cobra for revenge; he wasn’t part of the organization.
They thought it was a hunting mission, so they let Xu Mo participate, but it was a trap.
Xu Mo heard Xiao Qi’s words in silence. He was only fifteen years old.
Xu Mo truly wanted to leave, but could he? Cobra and Moke had been watching him from the beginning. They didn’t even participate in the fight, just watching.
They both had mocking smiles in their eyes, as if watching Secretary Jin torture those in the fighting arena. This feeling was quite enjoyable.
These people were all going to die here today. Secretary Jin would make their deaths miserable.
Secretary Jin looked up, seeing Xu Mo and Fang Ze still standing there.
He wasn’t in a hurry to kill. He wanted these people alive.
This time, his target was Xu Mo.
Seeing the opponent running toward him, Xu Mo gripped the source power battle blade in his hand. He had no way out.
“Boom.” Secretary Jin’s fist, wrapped in a terrifying energy storm, sent a wave of pressure. Xu Mo could feel the oppressive force. He sidestepped, dodging the punch, his blade slashing out. But Secretary Jin’s left arm blocked it directly.
The battle blade scraped against his arm, unable to break the armor. Secretary Jin twisted his body, his right arm striking Xu Mo’s chest. Xu Mo felt as if all his bones shattered and his body flew out, crashing to the ground.
Under absolute power pressure, he was no match at all.
Secretary Jin continued walking toward Xu Mo when Xu Mo suddenly said: “Elsa.”
Secretary Jin paused, his eyes staring at Xu Mo.
Seeing his reaction, Xu Mo knew he guessed right. He had been recalling when this person appeared.
Before, this person didn’t appear on the street; a middle-aged man walked toward this area, and Elsa greeted him. The middle-aged man disappeared.
Yesterday, Mia mentioned Elsa to him.
Su Xi’s father worked at the City State Council. Elsa knew Su Xi, which meant Elsa’s father might be related to the City State Council, having an unusual status, and her home was nearby.
The man in the battle armor in front of him could command both Cobra and the law enforcement team simultaneously.
He was Elsa’s father.
“Our people should have arrived. If you want her to live, don’t move,” Xu Mo reminded. Secretary Jin’s eyes were freezing cold. He suddenly turned and ran back, shouting: “Kill them on the spot.”
Seeing Secretary Jin retreating, Xu Mo knew they didn’t have much time: “Retreat quickly.”
Cobra and Moke moved, their eyes filled with ferocity.
Moke lunged at Xu Mo while Cobra lunged at Fang Ze.
Seth stood in front of them, his heavy sword sweeping out, shouting to Xu Mo and Fang Ze: “Go.”
But he was already severely injured by Secretary Jin, moving slowly. Cobra’s blade was swift.
“Watch out.” Sensing Cobra’s movements, Xu Mo’s face changed, charging forward with his battle blade slashing, but Moke blocked him.
“Swoosh…” Cobra’s mechanical blade pierced Seth’s shattered heavy armor, going through his body before Seth’s heavy sword fell. Xu Mo was pushed back by Moke.
“Seth.” Xu Mo gazed at the hulking figure in front of him, his heart twitching.
“Seth.” Fang Ze also looked at Seth in terror. At this moment, he remembered Uncle Fang’s death. Fear made his body tremble.
“Retreat,” Seth said with difficulty, turning to Xu Mo and Fang Ze. Cobra’s mechanical scimitar sliced through his body, staining his battle armor with blood.
“No…” Fang Ze’s voice trembled, his footsteps retreating continuously. Watching Seth’s body fall, he trembled: “I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die…”
Fang Ze turned, wanting to escape this hellish battlefield.
Xiao Qi watched Fang Ze’s fleeing figure. He didn’t feel hatred; who wanted to die?
Seeing Fang Ze escape, Cobra smirked, chasing after him. He was faster, while Moke still faced Xu Mo.
In the distance, Ye Qing, having defeated her opponent, rushed over.
“Bang.” Fang Ze was caught. Cobra kicked him down, stepping on him.
“Let him go.” Ye Qing raised her heavy spear at Cobra, but the mechanical scimitar in Cobra’s left hand hooked up Fang Ze’s body, blocking in front of him. The mechanical scimitar wrapped around his head, pressing against his neck.
“Why is this happening?” Fang Ze’s voice trembled, tears falling: “Sister Butterfly, I’m scared!”
“Swoosh…” The mechanical scimitar slit his throat, blood flowing. Ye Qing’s face showed extreme pain. Fang Ze’s eyes remained open in despair, looking at her. He was terrified.
But the Grim Reaper showed no mercy.
Cobra dropped Fang Ze’s head and looked at Ye Qing opposite him.
“Bang.” Ye Qing shot at Cobra, making his body retreat.
“Bang, bang, bang…” Ye Qing fired continuously, wanting to know why.
Why was the intel wrong, why did they fall into a trap? Ye Qing felt a chilling fear. Was it exposed from above, or were they sacrificial pawns?
Whichever was the case, she dared not think.
