Chapter 657: Authority on the battlefield
Most sentiments in the world would fade with time. Like sand running through an hourglass, it would disappear bit by bit.
Be it friendship or love, it was all the same.
There was a time Yang Xiaojin really thought Ren Xiaosu had died in that flood. Her stubborn persistence in waiting was actually just her way of dealing with it.
Although she told Yang Anjing she wanted to go look for Ren Xiaosu, she did not even have the slightest idea of where to start. As she journeyed aimlessly in the wilderness, Yang Xiaojin was struck by a wave of loneliness.
That was until Li Shentan found her in the wilderness. Li Shentan held up a copy of a newspaper and waved it around as though he were holding a white flag. Then he threw the newspaper on the ground before running away.
After confirming Li Shentan and Si Liren had left, Yang Xiaojin put away her sniper rifle and walked over to the newspaper puzzledly.
She then came across the news of the steel armor appearing in Luoyang City!
At this moment, Yang Xiaojin was running madly within Luoyang City. She had not slept for the past two days, all for the sake of an inexplicable hope.
She had traveled more than 300 kilometers during these two days as she trekked across mountains and rivers day and night.
Right now, Yang Xiaojin was so close to that person it was like she could sense the other party’s aura. That warm feeling was like a hand brushing past her cheek and stroking her hair.
Her cap was a little dirty, and her hair was also messy, but that didn’t matter at all!
In this chaotic city where everyone was avoiding gunfire, only this girl wearing a cap was rushing towards the gunshots without hesitation. She was looking for someone over there.
On Wangchunmen Boulevard, the young man was fighting furiously to open up an escape path.
Outside Wangchunmen Boulevard, a girl wearing a cap was making her way to the top of a high-rise building.
A moment ago.
Ren Xiaosu asked with a smile, “Do you believe in me?”
Xu Ke replied that he did, rather startled.
And a moment later, Xu Ke heard Ren Xiaosu say with a smile, “And now, the person that I believe in is here.”
A supernatural being suddenly raised his hand, and a green glow appeared around it. No one knew what kind of killing blow he was preparing to make.
However, a gunshot suddenly rang out from a high-rise building in the distance. The bullet traveled through the vast sky, through countless days and nights, through incessant persistence, through longing, and turned that supernatural being who was about to release his killing blow into a bloody mist!
The Perfect Firearms Proficiency user started taking control of the battlefield. From this moment, anyone who wanted to kill Ren Xiaosu would die.
This was her authority.
Ren Xiaosu had deliberately announced to the world that the user of the armor was here. It was as though he knew Yang Xiaojin would definitely show up once she heard news of him.
After receiving news that Ren Xiaosu was at Luoyang City, Yang Xiaojin trekked across the treacherous mountains and passed through a sea of people to fulfill that unspoken promise with him.
Ren Xiaosu turned around and looked at the high-rise building in the distance. The girl wearing the cap seemingly acknowledged him as she pulled the trigger and killed a supernatural being who was trying to sneak up on Ren Xiaosu.
A smile appeared on Yang Xiaojin’s face under her cap. ‘You knew I would come to meet you, so here I am.‘
But suddenly, time seemed to freeze. The two of them had been waiting for this day for too long. So every minute and second of this day slowed down, allowing them to cherish every moment of it.
It had been a while.
Ren Xiaosu turned to Xu Ke and said with a smile, “Do you have any strength left?”
Xu Ke said with a wry smile, “I should be able to kill a few more enemies.”
“Then let’s kill all of them.”
Then screams came from both ends of the boulevard. It sounded like someone had launched a surprise attack from both sides.
Xu Ke’s gaze pierced through the crowd, and he saw Old Li, Qin Sheng, and Zhang Qingxi arriving. But he was even more surprised to see Luo Yunxian and Huang Xiaoyu with them.
The consortiums’ combatants roared, “We’re under attack! Be careful, there’s a sniper and Riders too!”
Initially, this was a battle of ambushes and encirclement. But now, the hunters have become the hunted.
Actually, ever since Yang Xiaojin arrived, the scales of victory had tipped towards them.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly dropped his human shield and strode towards the crowd of people. There were clearly enemies everywhere, but all of them ended up turning into a bloody mist first no matter where Ren Xiaosu went.
At this moment, the consortiums’ troops were hoping the supernatural beings could use their strong physiques to dodge the sniper’s shots and finish off Ren Xiaosu.
Although the supernatural beings were extremely quick, Ren Xiaosu was even faster!
Some supernatural beings started jumping onto the rooftops of high-rise buildings in an attempt to close down on Yang Xiaojin. They intended to kill the sniper first.
However, their path was blocked by White Mask, “Old Xu.”
No matter how hard these supernatural beings tried, “Old Xu” was like a mountain blocking them. It could not be penetrated by guns, and its movements were demonically fast.
The appearance of “Old Xu” also gave Yang Xiaojin more assurance to pull the trigger without any worries.
When she saw “Old Xu” through her scope from the high-rise building, she almost thought he was a supernatural being she did not know. But when she saw the black saber in Old Xu’s hand, she understood it was actually Ren Xiaosu’s shadow clone. It was just that Ren Xiaosu had thoroughly disguised the shadow clone as a person.
Yang Xiaojin’s smile widened. “You’ve become more cautious.”
As she spoke, she fired another bullet.
The enemies collapsed one after another next to Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu looked more like he was taking a stroll than engaging in a fight to the death with the enemies.
That strong sense of self-confidence did not originate from just himself but also from that girl atop the high-rise building.
Although it was really hard to believe, it was a fact that all this chaos and overwhelming advantage the group had was because of this young man and young woman.
Before this, it was really difficult for anyone to imagine there could be two people in this world who would trust each other and cooperate so well together.
The young man strolled along the bloodstained boulevard without taking any defensive measures. But the strange thing was that no one was aiming their guns at him.
The people who had pointed their guns at Ren Xiaosu were all dead.
Xu Ke was following right behind Ren Xiaosu. He felt this young man in front of him must be the greatest poser he had ever seen in all his years. No one else came close.
The consortiums’ combatants tried countless times to reorganize their forces to counterattack. However, the sniper bullets seemingly had eyes and would keep targeting the commanders directing the battle.
For Yang Xiaojin, if all she could do was hit her targets with her shots, she would definitely not be considered a Perfect Firearms Proficiency user at all.
A true Firearms Proficiency master would know exactly which targets to take out first and where their precise positions were.
Yang Xiaojin had the entire battlefield in range from the roof of the high-rise building at the end of the boulevard. There were no blind spots, and no one could survive her attacks.
As such, the consortiums’ officers on the battlefield were killed one after another until there was no one left to give any orders.
Although the consortiums’ soldiers did not fear death, they could only fight individually without anyone to direct them.
Ren Xiaosu walked towards a supernatural being unobstructed.
He carried his sniper rifle and fired off shots one after another like an artillery attack.
“All of you have been surrounded.” Ren Xiaosu laughed heartily and said, “Put your weapons down and surrender.”
It had been a very long time since he was this happy!
The steam locomotive started moving again, leaving the enemies on the boulevard a little flustered. They did not know when the bullets representing the Grim Reaper would descend upon them.
This feeling of awaiting judgment was especially tormenting and dreadful.
Gradually, some people started fleeing. However, Li Yingyun, Qin Sheng, and the Riders had already blocked their path.
Especially Huang Xiaoyu. He cut his way through their enemies and forged a bloody path leading to Xu Ke.
Xu Ke was stunned. “Didn’t you…”
Huang Xiaoyu said calmly, “I was only against protecting the Qinghe Group and getting involved with those disputes over fame and fortune. That didn’t mean I’m willing to watch you die.”
Old Li roared in the distance, “Stop chatting! I’m injured all over! Hurry up and come help me!”
