Chapter 979, Boundary
In the assassins’ plan, it was supposed to be four Transcendents who were supposed to surround Luo Lan and Zhou Qi.
According to their original plan, hundreds of latent combatants would be enough to stall Ren Xiaosu for half a day even if they couldn’t kill him.
With this amount of time, even if Luo Lan had nine lives, they wouldn’t be enough to kill him.
However, now that Ren Xiaosu had returned early, those killers of theirs were nowhere to be found, and it looked like they should all be dead.
The earpieces in the ears of the four black-clothed Transcendents rang out, “No. 1, you intercept him, the other three will surround Luo Lan with all their might, that should be enough.”
Saying that, the Transcendent that Ren Xiaosu was adorned with suddenly turned around and stood face to face with Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu silently sized up this Transcendent, a young man, aged around twenty-seven or eighteen, with a country face.
The other party stood like a javelin, looking like a soldier in general, his face had the brown skin texture after years of training, this was an expert who had come out from the army of a certain power.
Ren Xiaosu’s heart was slightly settled, as long as there were identity traits appearing, then finding the culprit behind the scenes would be a matter of time, his greatest fear was that this group of people did not have a past, making it difficult to look for clues.
Zhou Clan, Wang Clan, Kong Clan, Fire Seed, these consortia’s methods of training soldiers are always a little different, so the subtle movements of soldiers in the course of combat will also be different.
Of course, the difference was extremely subtle, and Ren Xiaosu couldn’t see anything at all.
But it doesn’t matter, now that Wang Yun has been greatly prospering in the northwest, after this battle even if Ren Xiaosu can’t find any evidence, but as long as the surveillance on this road is brought to Wang Yun, the other party will surely be able to give himself some answers.
Most of the transcendentalists did not have an organization when they were just awakened, so the fights also seemed extraordinarily scattered.
For example, this was the case with Zhang Bao Gen, Dong Neg Nan, and the others.
However, in the past year, as time went on there began to be batches and batches of people awakening, and some people thought that the number of Transcendents in the entire Barrier Alliance nowadays had probably broken through three hundred, and half of them were born in the military.
After these Transcendents, who were soldiers themselves, appeared, they were immediately secretly brought into the units of the various consortia with hidden numbers, and then more budgets were invested in their cultivation.
The combat power of these people was very strong, especially when they joined forces to fight, they would display a combat quality that surpassed that of ordinary Transcendents.
The Transcendent in front of them approached towards Ren Xiaosu, wanting to delay a little bit of time so that their three companions could quickly complete their mission.
The remaining three Transcendents quickly ran towards Luo Lan, however, the Transcendent in one of the directions suddenly felt that something was wrong, he looked back only to find a person with a white mask adorning his back.
That white mask looked particularly abrupt and frightening in the gray world of the rain curtain, there was not the slightest expression on the mask, but for some reason, the Transcendent opposite it felt that the other party was smiling.
The white mask, the existence of the transcendental world like a legend, too many major events have the figure of this white mask, and now, all the transcendentalists know that this white mask is just someone’s ability.
The killers wanted to stop Ren Xiaosu and use the remaining three to surround Luo Lan, but their plan fell through again.
From today onwards, it was as if every one of their plans was difficult to realize, with one accident after another appearing, causing them to have to keep changing their plans.
Almost at the same time, Ren Xiaosu and Old Xu both charged at their respective opponents at the same time.
Old Xu’s side of the battle looked simple and unassuming, but the slashes were extremely dangerous.
In just a split second after both sides met, his opponent immediately fell into a state where he could only keep running away.
However, this Transcendent soon realized a problem, Lao Xu’s speed was too much faster than his, and if he just passively fled for his life, he wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.
He stopped on the spot, and when the blade behind him came, he decisively bent down to avoid the sharp edge, and then he saw his arched back suddenly burst out thirteen bone spikes from his spine, and his whole body was like a saber-toothed dragon, looking exceptionally terrifying.
The bone spikes were more than a meter long, according to the Transcendent’s calculations, the moment the white mask swung his sword close to him would surely hit the sharp bone spikes on his back and then be pierced through his body by the bone spikes.
In a flash, bone knives also grew behind his elbows, ready to return to decapitate Lao Xu when he crashed into him.
But in the next moment, the Transcendent froze, he only felt that the bone spikes on his back felt like they were sticking into soft playdough, and although Lao Xu’s body was penetrated by the bone spikes, he continued to hack and slash without any stagnation.
There was no imagined blood spattering scene, there was just Lao Xu chopping his head from his back without any emotional fluctuation.
“It’s too bloody,” Luo Lan lamented, even for someone like him who had been killing and setting fire for years, he felt a bit sick to his stomach.
However, this killing method, which was like an execution, also made Luo Lan understand how angry Ren Xiaosu was about Jiang Xu’s death.
At this moment, the other two Transcendents who had not encountered Ren Xiaosu or Lao Xu had already entered the thirty meter distance around Zhou Qi.
However, the other party did not approach hastily, and they carefully surveyed the gentle rain, the ubiquitous raindrops causing their skin to tingle.
The closer they got to Zhou Qi, the more intense this tingling sensation became, and gradually, blood oozed out of their skin, as if those fine raindrops had really turned into sheer needles.
Luo Lan hemmed and hawed and laughed, “In this kind of rainy day, for you to take another step forward is to die, don’t believe me, you guys try?”
However, right at this moment, a black-clothed Transcendent suddenly raised his hand, a circle of blue millilight formed ripples spread outward as if it was a wave of water, wherever the ripples went, it was as if another world had opened up.
Luo Lan froze, the street was still the original street, but now it was as if the street had been separated, the rain immediately turned into ice and snow after entering this boundary, while the original snow on the ground instantly turned into ice.
On everyone’s hair and eyebrows, frost quickly condensed.
In order to kill Luo Lan, the other party of course had to figure out who was protecting Luo Lan and what abilities the person protecting Luo Lan had.
So the reason why they dared to do it, they must have absolute certainty.
Within the boundary, the other party used the icy sky and snow to lock all the water, so that Zhou Qi’s ability to manipulate the water system would be completely nullified, which was the principle of dehumidification of the freeze dryer.
By the way, ice was also water, but Zhou Qi’s ability was not that divine, he had to turn this ice into liquid water before he could use it.
Luo Lan laughed twice, “It looks like you came prepared, why don’t we discuss it, how much will the forces behind you pay you, and I’ll pay double? Or you guys arrest me to see your boss, I won’t resist, it’s not good for us to fight and kill in Luo city, wouldn’t it be bad if we hurt the residents?”
Only, Luo Lan was not someone who would willingly surrender, as he said that while pulling Zhou Qi behind him, he was ready to start summoning Ying Spirits to catch the other party off guard.
Those two Transcendents approached towards Luo Lan and Zhou Qi without a word, it was getting colder and colder within this boundary, Luo Lan felt like his hands were about to freeze.
However, at the very next moment, the sound of ice and snow shattering came, the four people within the boundary looked up at the same time, they suddenly saw that at the top of this circular boundary, someone was using a sniper rifle to hit the same point shot after shot.
The dome of the boundary, as if it was glass, bloomed with huge spiderweb cracks!
