Chapter 899 - Didnt You Only Say You Would Buy Us Some Time? (1/2)

As they battled, the sky began to brighten.

The expeditionary army had Ren Xiaosu surrounded, and there were so many barbarians that when Ren Xiaosu looked around, he felt like he was being enveloped by a horde.

The barbarians’ understanding of superhumans was that they would sometimes get exhausted too. If they could kill a powerful supernatural being like Ren Xiaosu by simply outnumbering him, the other main forces of the expeditionary army would face less resistance when they attacked the South in the future.

So even if they could not hurt Ren Xiaosu, they did not allow him to leave, nor did they make to retreat.

The barbarians had split up into two groups. One group circled Ren Xiaosu while the other circled Old Xu. In contrast, the battle at Old Xu’s side was much more intense.

As Old Xu barged around, the barbarians who came into contact with the black saber would either lose an arm, a leg, or be left with huge wounds on their bodies.

It was a bloody scene.

Meanwhile, it was much more reserved at Ren Xiaosu’s side. He kept activating Shadow Door and throwing out Explosive Poker cards around him. He would drop the more powerful bombs further away and the less powerful ones closer.

Outside the encirclement, some of the barbarians who could not clearly see what Ren Xiaosu was doing were blown to pieces before they could even figure out what was happening.

When Ren Xiaosu threw the Explosive Poker cards through the Shadow Door, the numbers and colors on the cards’ surfaces suddenly exploded with intense heat and light. Immediately after, a huge blast sent the barbarians flying into the air.

After throwing the low-numbered cards, Ren Xiaosu looked at the dense crowd of barbarians and thought to himself, ‘Since I’ve come this far, I might as well kill more of them.‘

Thinking of this, he took out four “tens”!

When he previously threw the “quad sevens” bomb, it had caused a small mushroom cloud to erupt. All of the buildings within 50 meters were razed to the ground and turned any surface within a 100 meters barren. Looking at the vast number of barbarians, Ren Xiaosu threw the “quad tens” right at the outermost perimeter through the Shadow Door before throwing himself prone.

The barbarians were a little baffled when they saw Ren Xiaosu suddenly drop to the ground. But a second later, a huge heatwave suddenly approached from the outer perimeter. A visible, circular layer of dust continuously radiated out after the Explosive Poker cards went off, and a transparent shockwave swept along the ground in a ripple. Meanwhile, huge flames instantly vaporized the barbarians closest to where the Explosive Poker cards were dropped.

With a loud explosion, the ground where the Explosive Poker cards landed caved in by more than 10 meters. The change in air pressure at the center of the explosion caused dust and debris to surge into the sky, forming a huge mushroom cloud.

Inside the mushroom cloud, red-orange flames were flashing within the dark gray dust and smoke. A faint, thunderous rumble even came from the inside.

Even though Ren Xiaosu had already gone prone in advance, he was still sent flying several dozen meters away by the terrifying explosion’s shockwave together with the barbarians around him.

He immediately felt his entire body burning with pain. There was a suffocating pain in his chest and abdomen as well.

Honestly, although he was the one who threw the Explosive Poker cards, he did not expect it to be so shockingly powerful!

With this explosion alone, more than half of the expeditionary army’s main forces were instantly killed. The remaining barbarians were dumbfounded.

This was the first time Ren Xiaosu saw the elite warriors looking at a loss. The barbarians seemed to be shouting something, but Ren Xiaosu’s ears were ringing, so he could not hear what they were saying.

Seeing that there were still a lot of surviving barbarians around him, and that they were about to surround him again, Ren Xiaosu suddenly could not find the ear pick the palace gave him!

He said over the radio that he brought with him, “Cover me while I retreat! If we drag this on any longer, the expeditionary army to the north will be here soon!”

However, Ren Xiaosu realized the explosion would definitely affect the wireless communications equipment. Yang Xiaojin definitely could not hear what he just said.
