Chapter 71: Chapter 66 Assassination
“`
Master Batu stood up, and a powerful barrage of gunfire crazily shot toward his body, the bright Energy Light scorching the surface of his skin.
But Master Batu just stood there motionless, letting the intense firepower envelop him.
The Energy Guns, which could easily pierce through the body of an ordinary person, were unable to penetrate Master Batu’s skin.
Over the years, the effects of the Genetic Evolution Liquid had been fully absorbed and integrated into his body.
Moreover, he had never stopped practicing the Breathing Technique, maximizing the absorption of the Genetic Evolution Liquid’s effects and strengthening his body.
Master Batu was well aware of his own strength, these levels of Energy Guns were far from enough!
The gunfire was too weak.
The big shots on the surface had never allowed the City State Guards to control too powerful weapons.
Mecha were the strongest weapons they could deploy, and even then, they needed Council approval.
Otherwise, there was no authority.
He, of course, knew why.
The big shots above had never trusted them and would never trust them.
Simply because they were ‘ants’ from the Underworld, pitiful creatures who could not surface.
From the moment they were born, it was already destined.
His clothes torn by the gunfire, Master Batu’s skin seemed to undergo a change, hardening.
The faces of the City State Guards turned pale, under heavy firepower, they couldn’t make Master Batu budge even slightly.
Even the faces of the laboratory people changed.
They had done experiments later, but none as effective as Master Batu; it seemed he was extremely compatible with this type of Genetic Evolution Liquid, and his body had undergone a qualitative change.
It turned out they had underestimated their opponent’s strength.
“You all are a bunch of pitiful people too,” Master Batu said, staring at Kale and the others.
As soon as he finished speaking, he burst forward, the ground violently trembling beneath him as if an earthquake had occurred.
After his body hardened, it was no longer fat.
It was strong.
He was fast, charging at them like a Monster.
While the City State Guards fired while retreating, Master Batu’s body was already upon them.
“Bang…” Several people were directly knocked flying.
Master Batu grabbed one person with each hand, flinging them out and crashing into others.
“Thud.”
He continued to stride forward, an oppressive atmosphere reaching its peak.
“Lord,” Kale’s expression changed drastically, watching Master Batu approaching him.
“Since you fired, don’t blame me,” Master Batu said.
After hiding for so many years, he still couldn’t escape.
So just kill.
A huge palm lifted, directly smacking down on Kale’s head from above, a terrifying Power smashing onto his helmet.
Kale’s body trembled, a cracking sound emitting from the helmet, his head lolling to one side, and then his body collapsed.
The laboratory people also began to shoot frantically, not with energy this time, but with crystals, similar to the ones used against Xu Mo before.
The sharp crystals with potent penetrating power sank into Master Batu’s skin, followed by an electric current.
Feeling numb, Master Batu felt his body soften.
“This thing again?” Master Batu gritted his teeth, knowing that these were developed to counter Genetic Warriors, to prevent the cultivated Genetic Warriors from getting out of control.
Unfortunately, he was now not what he once was.
His eyes were extremely ferocious as he let out a roar, his footsteps continuing to advance with the ground shaking violently.
“Retreat.” The laboratory commander, seeing that Master Batu could not be controlled, ordered a retreat, and the people quickly left the villa.
“Still trying to retreat?”
Master Batu’s eyes had a touch of madness, his body seemingly still transforming, tapping into his inner potential.
Since they all came, not one should leave.
What he hated most were the people from the laboratory.
The gate was directly smashed through, and several lagging laboratory personnel were caught up. Master Batu’s body leaped into the air, bending as he smashed down.
“Boom…” Several people went limp on the ground. Even with Battle Armor protection, under absolute Power, the Battle Armor remained intact, but the people inside were dead beyond any doubt.
Outside, there was still a group holding strong weapons.
Stronger than those of the City State Guards.
The task to capture Master Batu was ranked ‘S’, and although he was just a suspect and not yet confirmed, they still afforded him significant attention.
“Kill.”
The laboratory commander spoke, and the line of people opened fire right away.
This time, it was heavy firepower.
“Boom…”
The heavy firepower exploded on Master Batu, his skin ripping open with bloodstains appearing.
Because he was too overweight, he couldn’t wear Battle Armor unless it was custom-made.
Guarding his eyes with his hand, Master Batu endured the firepower and charged forward.
“Hum.” His body was burning, intense energy releasing heat, Master Batu screamed in hoarse agony as his flesh ruptured.
But in his crazed state, all he wanted was to kill.
To exterminate all from the laboratory.
Enduring the excruciating pain, he continued to rush forward.
Seeing Master Batu approaching, those firing turned to run.
But the desperate have nothing to lose, and the crazed state of Master Batu was precisely one of having nothing to lose.
There was no escape for the slowest one as he was punched in the head and instantly went down.
While some tried to flee and kept firing, they were quickly caught up to and smashed to death.
It was a massacre.
Screams of terror echoed continuously.
The tranquility of the villa area was shattered.
People inside dared not come out, with some sneakily peeping before promptly closing their doors and windows, worried about getting involved.
After a while,
“`
The ground was strewn with many bodies, no one was alive except for Master Batu.
Master Batu’s clothes were torn and tattered to the point where they barely covered his body.
The cloth, sticking to his body with fresh blood, was smeared with bloodstains everywhere.
His eyes were already red and he was gasping for breath.
Fat men are prone to fatigue, all the more so after such a brutal battle.
Master Batu looked down and gradually, his expression returned to normal.
He’d better go back and change his clothes first.
A master’s reputation is at stake!
Having changed into a new set of clothes back at the villa, Master Batu then headed towards the exit of the villa district.
He knew that those pursuing him would soon arrive.
His power was decent, just barely reaching the top tier of the Underworld,
but still, he was no match for the core forces of the Underworld.
This time they had already taken him quite seriously, but they still underestimated his strength.
Otherwise, had they sent a mecha, he would have had enough trouble.
The combat power of a mecha was already the ceiling of the Underworld’s capabilities.
Once out of the villa, Master Batu saw a group of City State Guards staring at him.
He was a bit gloomy.
Being so fat certainly was inconvenient; he was an eyesore just walking down the street.
He was somewhat envious of that kid Xu Mo; once hidden, he was not so easy to find.
With a slight bend in his body, Master Batu then ran in a certain direction, moving very fast.
The ground trembled with a loud roaring sound, and passersby looked his way, their hearts pounding.
Lately, the city state had been getting more and more chaotic, for reasons unknown.
……
Xu Mo also lived in a relatively secluded residential building in the main city area, not far from the city gate, which was convenient for evacuation.
This house was unoccupied, so he had directly “requisitioned” it.
If someone came to check, he would immediately move to another place.
He was cultivating inside, dressed in his Battle Armor.
For him now, even resting meant staying armored, ready for battle at any moment.
Given the incident that happened at the small tavern before, it wouldn’t be surprising if it happened again, and the opposition might resort to heavy weapons bombardment upon discovering him.
At that moment, Xu Mo heard some noise coming from outside; the room seemed to vibrate slightly.
Voice and gunshots were coming from the window.
Walking to the window, Xu Mo looked outside.
He could see in the distance members of the Law Enforcement Team and the City State Guard in pursuit and arrest.
He even spotted a Mecha in the distance, gliding at high speed.
“What’s this?”
Xu Mo showed a look of surprise; they were resorting to using a mecha to hunt.
Had another thug like him appeared in the city state?
“Boom.”
A loud noise came, and Xu Mo saw the wall of the building across from him being directly breached as a figure burst out.
It was a fierce man!
Xu Mo praised the man in his mind as he broke through the wall, dust billowing in the air.
The man seemed quite fat, just like Master Batu.
The first thought Xu Mo had upon seeing the fat man was of Master Batu.
“Hm?”
As the dust cleared, Xu Mo got a clear view of the fatty and couldn’t help but pause in shock.
Master Batu!!!
“Master Batu is injured,” Xu Mo’s pupils constricted.
Master Batu was covered in bloodstains and was being chased.
Clearly, he didn’t expect to encounter Master Batu under such circumstances.
Where were Mia and Yaoer?
This thought made Xu Mo tighten inside.
Law Enforcement Team, City State Guard, Mecha.
This was a hunt.
Even if Master Batu was strong, he would likely eventually be drained of his energy, and once the mecha caught up to him, trouble would ensue.
Xu Mo tidied up the room, packed a few weapons into his backpack, and then slid directly down from the window, descending at a very fast speed, and soon landed on the ground.
“Master Batu.”
Xu Mo shouted.
Master Batu, seeing Xu Mo in front of him, paused for a moment and said, “Quick, leave, there’s a mecha.”
Having said that, his body once again disregarded the walls, smashing through with his flesh, shaking the entire building, creating chaos among the people above.
“Take another route,” Master Batu said to Xu Mo. “Don’t stick with me.”
Xu Mo followed him in, not leaving immediately but pulling out a device from his backpack.
Upon pressing a button, a metal cable shot out, piercing and hooking onto the opposite wall.
He grabbed the other end firmly. It was a climbing device, which he now used as a tripwire.
The high-speed gliding mecha was also rushing towards this side, with no pause as it burst through, further enlarging the breach in the wall.
At that moment, the mecha’s legs got tangled, the powerful force causing Xu Mo to fall over, the opposite wall also cracked open, and the cable was yanked out by the tremendous force.
But propelled by inertia, the high-speed gliding mecha also toppled forward, making a violent sound; dust and debris flew about, and the mecha, after falling, slid outwards.
“Go,” Xu Mo burst out and said to Master Batu.
Seeing the mecha tripped and flipping over, Master Batu made a return move, leaping into the air and then descended from the sky, his rampaging body coming down hard.
“Boom!”
Master Batu sat down on the mecha, causing it to shake violently.
As for Master Batu,
his butt hurt!
