Chapter 979 - Barrier (1/2)

In the hitmen's plan, Luo Lan and Zhou Qi were supposed to be surrounded by four supernatural beings who would kill them.

Based on their original plan, even if the several hundred combat personnel that had sneaked into Luoyang City were unable to kill Ren Xiaosu, they should still be able to keep him occupied for half a day.

And in that time, Luo Lan would not have enough lives to make it out of the situation even if he were a cat.

But now that Ren Xiaosu had returned in advance with the rest of the hitmen nowhere to be seen, it looked like they were probably all dead.

The earpieces the four black-clothed supernatural beings were wearing rang out with, ”Number One, you'll intercept him while the rest of us go all out to kill Luo Lan. That should be enough.”

With that, the supernatural being being pursued by Ren Xiaosu spun around and faced him.

Ren Xiaosu quietly sized up the supernatural being. He was a young man around 28 years old and had a squarish face.

This supernatural being was standing ramrod straight, making him look like some kind of soldier. He had a tanned face, which was probably from the years of training he had gone through. This was an elite soldier from a certain organization's military.

Ren Xiaosu felt a little more reassured. As long as clues of their identities surfaced, it would only be a matter of time before he found the mastermind. What he was most afraid of was that these people had no past, since that would make it difficult for him to find any leads.

The Zhou Consortium, the Wang Consortium, the Kong Consortium, and the Pyro Company all had different ways of training their soldiers. Therefore, the subtleties of their soldiers' movements in battle would be different.

Of course, the subtleties were extremely minute, so Ren Xiaosu could not tell the difference.

But it did not matter. Now that Wang Yun had joined the Prosperous Northwest, even if Ren Xiaosu could not find any evidence after this battle, Wang Yun could definitely give him some answers as long as he brought the surveillance footage of this street to him.

Most superhumans who had just awakened their superpowers would not belong to an organization, so the way they fought in battle would appear exceedingly chaotic.

For example, Zhang Baogen, Dong Funan, and several others.

But over the past year, groups of people had started to awaken their superpowers. Some people felt that the number of superhumans in the Alliance of Strongholds had probably exceeded 300 already, and half of them were even ”born” in the military.

After the superhumans who were originally soldiers appeared, they were immediately recruited into the secret units by the various consortiums and trained with greater resources.

The combat strength of these people was very high, especially when they teamed up to fight. They would display combat skills that surpassed normal superhumans.

The superhuman before Ren Xiaosu closed in on him. He wanted to buy some time for his three companions to quickly complete their mission.

The remaining three superhumans rushed at Luo Lan from different directions. However, one of the superhumans suddenly felt that something was off. He turned around and saw someone wearing a white mask following him.

In the gloomy rain, White Mask's appearance was extremely abrupt and terrifying. There was no expression on the mask at all, but for some reason, the superhuman facing it could sense the other party smiling.

White Mask was a legendary being in the superhuman world. Too many major events had involved the presence of White Mask. However, every superhuman was aware now that White Mask was just someone's power.

The hitmen wanted to block Ren Xiaosu and have the other three surround Luo Lan and kill him. But their plan failed again.

From today onwards, it seemed that every one of their plans was going to be very difficult to achieve. With the emergence of one surprise after another, they would have to constantly change their strategy.

At almost the same time, Ren Xiaosu and Old Xu rushed at their respective opponents.

Although Old Xu's battle looked simple and unadorned with fancy moves, every slash it landed with its saber was extremely vicious.
