184 Rescuing Yang Xiaojin (1/2)
Finally, he arrived at the entrance of the tall building.
The firing of the sniper rifle had stopped. It was quite likely that the Experimentals were already up on the roof, and Yang Xiaojin had given up on using the sniper rifle and switched to close combat.
Ren Xiaosu did not choose to take the stairs. He called upon his shadow clone and hopped on its back as it started climbing to the top of the building from the exterior.
Between here and the top, the shortest route was a straight line. If he took the stairs up, Yang Xiaojin would probably already be dead by the time he got up there!
Ren Xiaosu felt some regret. If he had completely copied Luo Xinyu's power, would he have to spend so much effort now?
When he first copied Shadow Door, he got Yan Liuyuan and Xiaoyu to buy a live chicken back from the market for him. It wasn't because he wanted to eat meat but that he wanted to try and see if he could pull someone through the Shadow Door like Luo Xinyu did.
But as it would be too dangerous to test it on Yan Liuyuan, he could only try it out on an animal.
After testing it out, Ren Xiaosu gave up. Even when the target he was trying to bring through the Shadow Door was a chicken, he could only manage to get one of its legs through. It couldn't be pulled any further than that.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu still got a little angry about it.
Suddenly, perhaps alerted by the sound of him climbing up the building, two Experimentals crashed through the windows on the seventh story and climbed out. They were forcefully blocking Ren Xiaosu's path to the roof.
Ren Xiaosu frowned and said, ”Just the two of you and you want to block me? Do y'all know how many Experimentals I have killed? Do y'all know…”
However, the two Experimentals simply hung upside down on the façade and kept their eyes on Ren Xiaosu without flinching.
Ren Xiaosu lamented, ”Alright, it seems like I couldn't scare you.”
As soon as his voice trailed off, his shadow clone pushed off from the exterior with all of its limbs and leaped up. The fuzzy outline of the shadow clone solidified into steel.
Ren Xiaosu and his shadow clone separated in midair, and both of them drew a black saber out of thin air at the same time, their actions in unison.
The two Experimentals above him growled and pounced down. But before they could finish, the two black sabers cut through their necks.
The shadow clone kicked one foot off of a falling Experimental's body and used this change of direction to regain its grip on the steel frame of the building with one of its hands. The other hand grasped tightly onto Ren Xiaosu's wrist.
In the blink of an eye, the two Experimentals did not even make a ripple when facing Ren Xiaosu and his shadow clone.
The coordinated move of Ren Xiaosu and his shadow clone was flawless.
Without any obstacles between him and the roof, his shadow clone took him to the top in a single bound.
When the Experimentals that had surrounded Yang Xiaojin saw another human being jump onto the rooftop, all of them turned to look at Ren Xiaosu ferociously.
Ren Xiaosu stood on the edge of the roof and scrutinized his surroundings. There were seven Experimentals in all, but one of them was already immobilized on the ground. Yang Xiaojin, who was injured and stained with blood all over, had her back facing the parapet walls of the roof as she gasped violently for breath. She was holding a new dagger that did not look like it was cast from normal steel.
This was Ren Xiaosu's first time face to face with so many monsters. If it weren't for his shadow clone, Ren Xiaosu would probably have to die here as well.
Seeing the suspicious look on Yang Xiaojin's face, Ren Xiaosu said to his shadow clone, ”Old Xu, let's get all of them!”
For some reason, Ren Xiaosu somehow felt that Yang Xiaojin was hiding a slight smile in her eyes despite looking really pathetic at this moment.
Yang Xiaojin said weakly, ”Xu Xianchu is already a few hundred kilometers from here.”
”Hahahaha, is that so?” Ren Xiaosu laughed in embarrassment.
Yang Xiaojin did not bother arguing with him and slowly sat on the ground. Every wound on her body was giving searing pain. Having lost a lot of blood, she was almost in a state of shock as well.
Ren Xiaosu calmly said, ”You rest for a bit. I'll get you out of here.”
”Mhm,” Yang Xiaojin responded softly.
