Chapter 9, the next appointment

Su fired his gun in advance, and the bullet grazed the edge of the corridor wall as it shot out. However, he did not anticipate that Oberon was sliding through the corridor with his body leaning back, causing the bullet to pass just ten centimeters from Oberon's chest, missing its target.

The most intense phase of the oil and gas flames quickly passed, and then was swiftly distanced by Su. Oberon did not emerge from the flames as Su had imagined; it seemed he had suffered significant injuries in this explosion. If he had truly burst forth from the flames, Su would not have been surprised. This quiet and refined young man possessed abilities as deep as the ocean, and achieving anything could not be considered a miracle; Su had already sensed this.

Only the sound of gunfire, no bullets are coming.

Auberon extended his right hand into the passage, and a flash of light gleamed in his eyes. Suddenly, there was a muffled thud, as if the entire subway station had trembled! An invisible force field rapidly extended through the passage, and wherever it passed, the stainless steel plates that formed the ventilation duct groaned and struggled. However, under the almost irresistible force that tore and twisted, the entire passage quickly warped and collapsed, as if it had been struck by countless boulders! An invisible force field rapidly extended through the passage, and wherever it passed, the stainless steel plates that formed the ventilation duct groaned and struggled. However, under the almost irresistible force that tore and twisted, the entire passage quickly warped and collapsed, as if it had been struck by countless boulders!

When the bullet was fired, Oberon had already activated his defensive force field. The projectile, as before, suddenly slowed down and began to glow red and deform under the immense kinetic energy. Ultimately, it breached his defensive force field, transforming into a metallic jet that shot towards his chest

Oberon was suddenly tilted sideways, his feet nailed to the balcony, barely avoiding the deadly metallic jet. He reached out and gently pressed on a discarded power line, and his body bizarrely bounced back, standing straight on the windowsill once again

Auberon’s body was propelled by the howling wind, soaring directly towards the opposite wall! He landed heavily on the wall, taking two firm steps, and then charged fiercely and aggressively around the first corner, as if running along the wall. The spot where he landed was marked by extensive cracking in the concrete.

The abandoned city is filled with large chunks of concrete, protruding steel bars, and fractured roadbeds, appearing particularly menacing in the darkness

Hula! A large swarm of enormous bats soared up from the distant city, as if startled, flying in droves over Laikona, nearly obscuring the already dim night sky.

Oberyn Martell's gray hair suddenly flew up as he roared into the darkness: "Am I not the next one to be killed?! You liar!"

Su did not know, nor was he willing to think about this matter. He only knew that the Roxerlan Company was involved in the pursuit of him and had nearly killed him. Su did not intend to remain silent about such actions; his life in the wilderness had made him understand that direct, simple, and brutal revenge was more effective than any kind of threat.

He suddenly let out a roar

Rigaole glanced at the camp of his followers, where Leikona's corpse was encased in a sealed bag made of waterproof material, placed in the center of the temporary camp. Some unknown gas was being pumped into the bag, seemingly serving both refrigeration and preservation purposes. Rigaole held no respect whatsoever for the deceased, even deliberately entertaining the most malicious thoughts about him.

At this moment, a muffled gunshot faintly echoed from afar, resembling the distant rumble of thunder, resonating with a deep and heavy sound

Fatigue crept upon Laikona like a vine, silently climbing to his heart, its tendrils spreading and permeating every corner. For the first time, Laikona felt that the glory captured from Su was not as alluring as it initially seemed; compared to a bright future, the threats to life were far more tangible. Although the pursuit had been fraught with difficulties, every kilometer gained in the vast wilderness was a victory, yet he remained undaunted. While others might fear long-range snipers, the Dark Dragon Riders did not; every qualified Dark Dragon Rider had undergone rigorous counter-sniper training. Perhaps Su's threat far exceeded that of an ordinary sniper, but at least with Oberon’s team, they still had the means to pursue him.

He leaned against the wall and slowly stood up, a chilling aura continuously emanating from beneath his uniform. The flames that were still burning on his body quickly weakened, and after swaying a few more times, they extinguished one by one

Perhaps Su cannot shake the Dark Dragon Knights, and after killing Leikona, the troubles ahead will be endless. He must leave this area. However, before departing, Su decides to make the Roksalan Company understand the price of provoking a sniper who has grown up in the wilderness

Li Gaolei smoked one cigarette after another. At the moment he was ambushed in Laikona, he saw Su, and he believed that Su had known of his existence long ago. In those emerald-like eyes that had once left a deep impression on him, there was not a trace of emotional fluctuation; the cold gaze was like a bucket of ice water, drenching him from head to toe. Su conveyed no information to him at all, but simply turned and leaped into the underground passage.

Perhaps Su will collapse in another minute, perhaps will give up, but this perhaps will never appear again

At this moment, Laikona's spirit entered a state of extreme tension, yet also of profound calm. He almost watched as the bullet's projectile spun towards him, a faint trace of flame igniting on the bullet's surface due to the high-speed friction with the air, before disappearing above his line of sight

Just ten meters away, behind a large pile of construction debris, a faint black shadow nimbly leaped into the entrance of the adjacent underground passage, disappearing into the complete darkness of the tunnel

Intersections flashed by one after another as Oberon sprinted forward, flames of anger flickering in his gray eyes. Just as another junction appeared ahead, Oberon suddenly leaned back, his feet abruptly bracing against the steel track

As for Oberon, Rigor had no idea what kind of abilities this unfathomable young man would reveal in a fit of anger. However, Su, with her eyes that were almost eerily beautiful, resembled a ruler in the darkness

At the other end of the corridor, Su leaned back, rapidly retreating. It is unimaginable that a person could retreat at such speed without witnessing it firsthand. Su held the modified rifle steady with his left hand, the muzzle aimed forward. Before him surged a fierce wave of flames and gas. The flames surged violently, yet Su retreated just as swiftly, always remaining a few meters ahead, never allowing the flames to engulf him.

He had a game with Li and they agreed on the rules for the next game. Was it Li who broke the rules

Su glanced briefly at the distorted entrance of the passage before disappearing into the deep underground tunnel with his rifle in hand

In the labyrinthine underground passage, a flurry of footsteps echoed like a storm. A faint light flickered in the depths of Oberyn's gray pupils, and the world in his eyes had transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors, among which a very distinct trace marked the path that Su had taken.

A sudden wave of intense pain surged through Su's head again. He withdrew his gaze, cradled his head with both hands, and his entire body trembled slightly. After about half a minute, the trembling gradually subsided. Su leaned against the wall, breathing slowly, each exhale long and silent. He could not engage in any vigorous movement, for the wolf pack was advancing not far away, and even the slightest sudden change could attract their attention.

Standing in the center of a narrow alley, Lecona looked up at the towering buildings on either side, remaining silent. Oberon stood beside him, his face finally showing signs of undeniable fatigue, yet he still wore a smile. Even the most relaxed of them, Rigaley, began to feel his body grow heavy.

Su's mind conjured the image of Li: her flowing chestnut short hair, her remarkably resilient skin, her soft yet powerful waist and legs, and that eternally rebellious gaze, all flashing before him. He did not believe that Li was the instigator of this pursuit; a creature like the Dark Dragon Rider was far beyond the control and manipulation of Rockserlan. Laikona's attempt to capture him was no different from capturing a rare mutated species. Su himself was a hunter, having once found and captured many new mutated species. The look in his eyes when he regarded his prey was almost identical to the look Laikona gave him.

Su Li quietly gazed at the underground passage, where flames flickered in the dim light. The young man with gray hair was indeed formidable; the various mysterious powers he had displayed far exceeded those of Su. Just the thought of the completely twisted ventilation ducts sent a chill through Su's heart. However, this would not shake Su's determination and confidence to kill him. The ruins and wilderness were Su's domain. Just the thought of the completely twisted ventilation ducts sent a chill through Su's heart. However, this would not shake Su's determination and confidence to kill him. The ruins and wilderness were Su's domain

Su indeed received two opportunities, but he did not take action. The expression of the sentinel was slightly unnatural, and the others who appeared to be team members or subordinates looked the same, which made Su alert. Although ten people were present at the scene, and Su believed there were no ambushes from others nearby, he always felt that such an easy victory was somewhat strange; the opponent was not someone who would make such a mistake. After carefully observing the surrounding terrain and silently calculating all suitable locations for sniping, Su began to understand the opponent's trump card.

Aubrey's heart was pounding powerfully, and the sudden onset of danger nearly made every hair on his body stand on end. He was hurtling towards the oncoming flames at a furious speed of over 70 kilometers per hour, and being in mid-air, he found it impossible to turn back!

Su's physical strength was rapidly declining, but he believed that the enemy's stamina was being consumed even faster than his. Their water supply had been completely exhausted, and there was little high-energy food left. Most importantly, the enemy was unable to get effective sleep. Su moved stealthily around them, constantly waiting for the opportunity to take out a solitary sentry.

As he rushed around the corner, Oberon’s pupils suddenly constricted; he saw that an iron oil drum had appeared at another corner, and a tracer round had just shot into the drum from the side

It was actually the center of his brow... Leykona surprisingly had time to entertain such a thought, but unfortunately, the speed of his consciousness had completely outpaced the reaction capability of his body. During the ten meters that the bullet traveled, Leykona's body was entirely unable to evade.

It seems that among the opponents, there must be someone skilled in perception and detection, and his sensing range should be 700 meters. ... And this person ... . Su immediately recalled the gray-haired young man who had thwarted his seemingly certain shot. He appeared delicate, even somewhat shy, and silently followed the main force, rarely expressing his opinions! Yet it was this young man who not only sensed his murderous intent but also intercepted the sniper bullet at a critical moment!

Yet it was this young man who not only sensed his murderous intent but also intercepted the sniper bullet at a critical moment!

The cigarette case of Ligolei was empty. He rummaged through his pockets but could not find a single cigarette, only pulling out two beautifully packaged old-fashioned cigars. He greedily touched the two cigars, his fervent yet cautious demeanor resembling that of caressing the body of a beloved in a dream. Ultimately, Ligolei withdrew his hand from the pocket of his coat lining, glanced at the makeshift camp set up by his attendants, and spat out a thick phlegm with a "pah" sound.

The bullet penetrated Leikona's forehead and exited through the back of his skull, the immense kinetic energy lifting his entire cranium. It then grazed the head of a nearby attendant, tearing off his entire ear, and blood immediately gushed down like a waterfall

The sudden change nearly astonished everyone

The junction passage connects to a parallel maintenance corridor, where Su stands in the maintenance corridor, leveling a rifle and aiming this way. In the darkness, those emerald eyes shine like a brilliant gem, emitting a faint glow

Su sat by the window on the thirtieth floor, coldly observing the cautious procession moving along the street below. He did not aim, did not reveal any intent to kill, nor did he prepare to take any action; he simply watched, keeping everything in mind. When alone, he would replay the scene, familiarizing himself with each person's steps, postures, and even the most trivial habitual movements. It was precisely for this reason that he did not attract the attention of these perceptive enemies. When alone, he would replay the scene, familiarizing himself with each person's steps, postures, and even the most trivial habitual movements. It was precisely for this reason that he did not attract the attention of these perceptive enemies.

There is almost no light down there, and the terrain is extremely complex. Li Gaolei, ignoring the looks from his attendants that suggested they could kill him, said leisurely: "You cannot be of any help there. If danger arises, your master will not abandon you. To save you, he is likely to lose his life as well! Therefore, the best course of action is to stay here and wait."

Li Gaolei believed that the cold gaze itself carried sufficient information

The modified rifle was slowly lowered, its muzzle angled towards the ground, as Su steadily walked down a sloping staircase towards the ground.

At the other end of the passage, the modified rifle was thrown out, and then Su almost rushed out from the entrance of the passage, catching the modified rifle in mid-air and landing lightly on the ground

But this shot was aimed at Lecona

This game of pursuit is not easy, as the roles of hunter and prey are constantly exchanged

A bullet shot in from the window on the other side, grazing closely past the body of the attendant and Laikona, and heading towards Oberyn, who had just steadied himself on the windowsill

Individuals from large corporations generally do not regard those living in settlements as their peers. Similarly, in the eyes of the residents of these settlements, the homeless and the rioters are hardly distinguishable; both can be viewed as beasts akin to feral wolves. However, before joining the Rockserland Company, Rigoray was once a homeless person himself, and thus his perspective on them differs from that of others.

If Oberyn had truly charged out of the flames just now, Su's poised shot would most likely have blown off one of his legs

In the night, the city resembles a massive, dark beast, seemingly on the verge of collapsing and crushing everyone into a pulp

A layer of frost seemed to cover Oberyn's handsome face, with a faint anger simmering beneath the surface like magma melting beneath an icy crust, ready to erupt at any moment

Hidden in the shadows, Su resembled the most cunning of corrupted wolves, patiently waiting for the moment when its prey would be utterly exhausted. Undoubtedly, the severely injured Su should have fallen before the rigorously trained Dark Dragon Knights, but in this game of tracking and counter-tracking, it was surprisingly Leikona and his subordinates who could not hold out any longer!

Auberon stood upright on the balcony, maintaining an air that combined both military and noble demeanor, whether standing or sitting. His complexion was pale to the point of being somewhat frightening, occasionally touched by a sickly flush of red, while his lips bore a purplish-gray hue, and large beads of sweat continuously fell from his forehead

Less than ten meters away from Laikona, a fingertip-sized piece of concrete rolled down from a pile of debris and garbage.

Laikona turned his head and saw Oberon’s pale face, which shook his last bit of ambition

Twenty minutes later, the last ray of light disappeared precisely on the horizon, and this vast abandoned city was completely engulfed in darkness

At K 7, in the Falcon Manor, all the retainers watched with an expression of indifference as Leikona unleashed flames, incinerating human bodies. They observed with the same demeanor as Leikona personally impaled the Falcon leader on a randomly chosen stake, and they likewise impaled the remaining eleven resisting Falcon men on stakes without any change in expression. The resisting elders were thrown into the burning farmhouse, and when the retainers attempted to do the same to the women and children, Oberyn arrived and stopped them, allowing these women and children to leave. Although, after losing their refuge, the fate of these women and children would not be much better than that of the men, at least they could survive for a few more days.

Although, after losing their refuge, the fate of these women and children would not be much better than that of the men, at least they could survive for a few more days

In turbulent times, the differences between ranks and classes can sometimes be even more significant than those based on race. Even in the case of Rigoré, it is no longer considered a matter of great concern to kill a resident of a settlement who dares to offend him. However, Laikona is different; he does not merely kill one or several residents, but rather engages in mass slaughter.

The thunderous gunshot from Su made Li Gaolei feel exhilarated. He even had the impulse to invite Su for a drink, although reason told him that the only reason Su's shot had not been aimed at him was likely because he was not worth it. Such a good opportunity should naturally be used to eliminate someone of value.

Everyone must be on guard at all times against bullets that may come from unknown directions. Although Su only fired a single shot during the entire process and set only one trap, the constant state of tension rapidly drained the energy of everyone involved. After blocking Su's shot, Oberyn's spirit showed clear signs of fatigue, and it appeared that he had already exhausted more than half of his strength. No one knew how many more shots he could withstand.

The initial section of the ventilation duct extends vertically upward, then horizontally outward, ending in a patch of darkness that even Oberon cannot discern

In the underground passages, dense as a spider's web and harboring countless deadly creatures, the outcome of a life-and-death struggle between two individuals is truly known only to heaven

With a single sound of a wave, countless dust and debris were ejected from the entrance, then twisted and entangled together, as if being twisted by an invisible giant hand. If Su Wan were to emerge even for a minute, she could be crushed by the steel ventilation duct!

The attendants came to a halt, turning their heads in anger to glare at the outsider, Rigaley. In truth, they were well aware that after the furious Oberyn had rushed into the underground passage, there was no way they could catch up with him.

In the early morning, Su sat atop a high-rise building, watching the procession slowly leaving the city. His emerald gaze traversed thousands of meters, landing on Li Gaolei.

The prey is now within reach, and the atmosphere of Su seems to permeate this vast city, showing no signs of preparation to leave, yet...

The entourage exchanged glances, as they did not comprehend the meaning behind Oberyn's furious roar

I feel the same way. In the night breeze blowing towards Su, there is an added chill.

The attendants gradually fell silent and then dispersed. They collected the body of Leikona, reported to headquarters to request support, established a camp, set up a security perimeter, and divided their tasks in an orderly manner, handling everything with great efficiency. These seven attendants possessed overall capabilities that could easily be compared to the elite secret guard of the Roxerlan Company, yet their equipment and military training far surpassed that of the secret guard

Auberon fell from the wall, landing in a standard position, yet he nearly lost his balance. Large flames still burned on the uniform of the Dark Dragon Knight, and his beautiful gray hair was singed and scattered. He began to cough violently, blood continuously spilling from his mouth and nose.

The sudden appearance of Leikona and Oberon, these two exceptionally formidable individuals, is undoubtedly related to Rigor. At the very least, Rigor is also their guide. Trouble, or rather, disaster, has only just begun. This was clear from the moment Su shot Leikona. The almost identical uniforms worn by Leikona and Oberon, along with the ten well-trained attendants, suggest that they belong to an extraordinarily powerful organization, a conclusion that does not require much intelligence. Judging by the ages of Leikona and Oberon, it is likely that they are merely low-ranking members of this organization.

After a round of desperate pursuit, Oberyn finally understood that he could not catch Su; even if he pinpointed Su's location, it would be of no use. When Su's injuries healed, he would have even less opportunity. Su also knew that his previously unfailing sniper rifle was ineffective against Oberyn, whether at long range or close range. If Su had a handgun in hand, it might have been a different story. But he currently had no handgun, and in a world composed of ruins and wilderness, there is no such thing as 'if'.

In an abandoned office building a thousand meters away, Su sat quietly on the bare concrete floor, cleaning the barrel of her firearm after firing. The remnants of the glass curtain wall hung outside the building, reflecting the daylight and obscuring Su's silhouette. Beside her lay a row of over ten bullets, each with a different colored tip, representing various types of ammunition such as incendiary, armor-piercing, and high-explosive fragmentation rounds. In Su's mind, the map continuously adjusted its angles, recalling every detail of the neighborhood.

He is aware of the dangers ahead, yet he does not believe that his status is so esteemed as to warrant the kind of protection his attendants envision, nor does he consider himself above risking his life. What drives him forward is another powerful force, known as honor

Su quickly noticed this as well, but he maintained a steady pace, seemingly preparing to compete with Oberyn in terms of stamina consumption. Oberyn's speed remained consistently 1.5 times that of Su, neither fast nor slow, showing no signs of significant stamina depletion.

At the moment when his upper body leaned out from the subway exit, Oberon suddenly lurched forward, falling straight down. Just before hitting the ground, he gently propped himself up with his right hand, stabilizing his body. He maintained this position, gazing into the darkness.

The moment Oberon saw Su, he swung his left hand, and then his senses were filled with the blaze of fire and the sound of gunfire, while the residual kinetic energy in his body dragged him through the corridor

When Oberon reappeared at the junction of the corridor, Su had already vanished. Embedded in the wall of the maintenance passage was a circular ice shard with a diameter of over thirty centimeters. The edges of the ice shard were extremely sharp, having cut into the concrete wall by nearly ten centimeters. Oberon withdrew the ice shard, finding no traces of blood on its edges.

In the underground passage, various dangerous creatures reside, yet at this moment, not a single one has emerged; they have all distanced themselves from this area. Whether it is Oberyn or Su, who no longer conceals his presence, both have instilled in them a strong sense of danger.

Laikona remained standing, maintaining an upright posture, and slowly fell backward

The room was almost devoid of furniture, appearing exceptionally spacious. A large mass of flesh and blood was stuck to the opposite wall, and it was burning. A living corpse had half of its chest and an entire arm missing, writhing on the ground while howling. An empty shell casing was embedded in the floor, with several stones and scraps of steel scattered nearby. Another bullet was also embedded in the floor, showing signs of being struck. This was an incendiary round, its tip smeared with what appeared to be the blood and flesh of some unknown creature. It seemed that these living corpses believed there was even more delicious marrow inside, so they kept striking, ultimately causing the bullet to detonate. The living corpse struggling on the floor was clearly the unfortunate victim.

Moreover, looking back now, the intense excitement and pleasure during the act of torture were also extremely exhausting.

What unknown abilities does this young man with gray hair and gray eyes possess?

Thus, Oberon accelerated, racing through the intricate passages at a speed exceeding fifty kilometers per hour. His objective was to leverage his overwhelming advantage in physical strength and speed to catch up with Su and eliminate him.

The terrain in the city is complex, lacking the conditions for long-distance sniping in open areas. Furthermore, around the two rest locations of the opposing side, all potential long-distance sniping spots are less than 700 meters away at the farthest. This is true for both instances.

The flames suddenly illuminated every dark corner of the passage, surging forward as the roaring fire rolled in, violently advancing through the confined space of the underground tunnel

When Oberon saw Su, the entire corridor was illuminated by the flames spewing from the gun muzzle. By the time the thunderous gunfire reached Oberon's ears, the bullets had already struck the walls of the corridor, blasting down a large chunk of heavy concrete, with the flying debris hitting Oberon's face and hands, stinging like needles

The maintenance passage soon reached its end, connecting to a long-abandoned subway station. The traces left by Su became increasingly pronounced, turning a corner and disappearing into the restroom on one side of the platform

Lord Oberyn! The attendants could only call out once before Oberyn had vanished deep into the underground passage

The oil and gas flames that crashed against the wall lost their forward momentum and had no choice but to turn left, rushing towards the side passage. In an instant, the force of the explosion had diminished, and the passage was filled with flames burning everywhere. These flames, fueled by gasoline, are extremely difficult to extinguish, and the temperature in the underground passage suddenly rose to a level where ordinary living beings cannot survive

A warm, trembling hand supported Laikona, gently laying him down. Laikona gazed blankly at the night sky, his right hand slowly reaching upward, as if searching for something.

At the moment when Su and Oberon exchanged glances, they each turned and left, gradually moving further away

Auberon instantly bent his body, shielding his head with both arms, his legs bent forward and straightened backward, striking a pose of complete defense in mid-air. Just as the flames were about to engulf him, a circular ice shield with a diameter of several dozen centimeters suddenly appeared in front of Auberon.

A group of people silently advanced through the darkness. Except for Leikona, all the attendants seemed to have relaxed. Upon passing through the intersection ahead, they reached the edge of the city, where they could find a safe place to camp and call for support from the Dark Dragon Knight headquarters. Having experienced Su's cunning and resilience, nearly all the attendants believed that only by summoning high-ranking dragon knights could they possibly capture this elusive creature

Laikona suddenly accelerated; although his movements were erratic and unpredictable, his speed was still breathtaking. In the blink of an eye, he located the source of the gunfire and then stood still, his face ashen.

When the distance between the two parties had narrowed to 30 meters, Su suddenly came to a halt. Oberon’s gray hair suddenly flew up as he exerted himself, his military boots striking the steel track and creating a shower of sparks as he abruptly accelerated forward! He had traversed this passage before and knew that Su's position was just beyond two bends. At this distance, Oberon could reach Su in just 2 seconds. He was confident in his ability to dodge Su's bullets, or at least to avoid being hit in a vital area, and when he made his move, Su would have no chance left. At this distance, Oberon could reach Su in just 2 seconds. He was confident in his ability to dodge Su's bullets, or at least to avoid being hit in a vital area, and when he made his move, Su would have no chance left.

Around this usually quiet and shy young man, within a radius of 10 meters, a dense and chilling mist suddenly arose, extinguishing all the flames that were still burning in an instant

I have been wandering in this labyrinthine city for a full day and night

Thus, Li Gaolei understood that in the eyes of the Dark Dragon Riders, the inhabitants of the settlement were not considered kin, not even Oberyn. Even though he showed compassion towards women and children, that compassion resembled the treatment of harmless little animals

Whether in the old era or in times of turmoil, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Similarly, there are no gains without costs, and the Rockshalan Company is no exception

The Chain Trap

In the past 24 hours, Su continuously approached them, only to swiftly retreat and hide back into the shadows. He repeatedly targeted and locked onto different enemies with his awareness, then immediately vanished. In this manner, he tested the enemies' perceptual acuity and applied pressure.

Li Gaolei had a cigarette in his mouth and was climbing up the external drainage pipe. Suddenly, he felt a heat above his head and immediately thought it was bad. He leaped to the side and landed on the balcony of a neighboring household.

Auberon gently set Lecona down, suddenly standing up and rushing towards the dark underground passage! With this burst of energy, his figure instantly transformed into a faint wisp of smoke, almost as swift as Su.

The sound of water splashing

The harsh sound of metal scraping echoed through the nearby underground passage, as the soles of the soft alloy boots rubbed against the steel tracks, producing a dazzling shower of sparks. Oberon maintained this posture as he glided past the intersection

If his pursuit truly originated from Li, then Su would not mind adding a beautiful name to his hunting record

These attendants neither smoke nor drink, resembling the Puritans of old legends. Even that Leikona, who enjoys roasting people slowly with flames and seems to derive a peculiar pleasure from their anguished screams, abstains from tobacco and alcohol, and does not use any stimulants. If it were not for the raw and unabashed desire in Leikona's gaze when he looks at Li, Ligore would have thought he had no interest in women at all. Otherwise, why would he not touch that fairly attractive woman in Asmoth, merely resorting to acts of cruelty? Perhaps this fellow is simply a softie who cannot perform; even if Li were given to him, it is highly likely that he would end up being harshly whipped by her, seeking climax in trampling and pain.

If it were to get even more perverse, he might even beg Li to use that enormous handgun of Su's on him. ... And if Li happened to pull the trigger at that moment ...

Rigaole silently observed everything, a barely perceptible worry flickering in his eyes. In the darkness, only a faint flicker of light was visible, the glow of Rigaole's cigarette, which stood out starkly against the black backdrop. However, no one came to stop him. Oberyn had personally gone to hunt Su, and it was likely that this extremely dangerous and composed sniper had no opportunity to target the others again. The nocturnal creatures drawn by the glow of Rigaole's cigarette retreated in fear from the intense aura of danger emanating from this place, even from dozens of meters away.

The nocturnal creatures drawn by the glow of Rigaole's cigarette retreated in fear from the intense aura of danger emanating from this place, even from dozens of meters away.

In this ambush, neither side managed to hit the other. Su's sudden shot completely quelled Oberyn's reckless fury, yet it did not extinguish his fighting spirit. Oberyn pursued fiercely along the trail left by Su, missing this opportunity; he was unaware of when he might have another chance to confront Su directly. The recent battle had already demonstrated that even after sustaining severe injuries, Su remained an extremely dangerous opponent, capable of taking Oberyn's life at any moment. Nevertheless, Oberyn continued to chase after him. The recent battle had already demonstrated that even after sustaining severe injuries, Su remained an extremely dangerous opponent, capable of taking Oberyn's life at any moment. Nevertheless, Oberyn continued to chase after him

The attendants immediately rushed towards the underground passage, but at that moment, they heard the cold voice of Gairei coming from within, "Do you want to kill Oberyn?"

At the moment of blocking the bullet, a faint sting was felt on the side of Oberyn's head, and the message conveyed was still: "Next time, I will kill you"

Laikona suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and then saw a bright flame igniting ten meters away!

Perhaps you are right, let us leave here first and then call for support from headquarters. Raikona's smile was somewhat forced. At this point, when his physical strength was exhausted and his will was on the verge of collapse, he finally began to regret the energy wasted at Base K7 and Falcon Headquarters. At that time, the energy spent on incinerating those lowly individuals who dared to provoke or deceive him seemed so trivial, requiring only a few hours of rest to fully recover. However, after days and nights, who would have anticipated that there would be no adequate time or opportunity for rest? Even with sufficient manpower, theoretically arranging sentries should not be a problem, yet no one dared to enter deep sleep given the sniping capabilities displayed by Su. Under the shadow of such a gun barrel, comrades became completely unreliable. Now, every bit of physical strength and energy seemed so precious.

The ferocious flames of oil and gas completely engulfed Oberon, not only fully countering his momentum and shattering the ice shield, but also propelling him backward and violently slamming him against the wall of the corridor, ruthlessly crushing and colliding with Oberon's frail body

Bang! Oberon kicked down the locked bathroom door and rushed in. The ceiling above had been opened, revealing a deep ventilation duct and books. Judging by the size of the duct, it could barely accommodate a person. Su had fled in such a hurry that there was no time to reset the grille at the duct's entrance.

Only Rigor lay still in place, continuing to smoke somewhat boredly. If Su was aiming at him, he believed he would surely die, and there would be no use in trying to hide. If Oberyn were willing to save him, then by remaining still, Rigor could also lessen the difficulty for Oberyn.

Aubrey seemed to see Su sneering at him in the vast night sky, mocking his naivety. He had been concentrating on sensing a range of 500 to 800 meters, the optimal distance for a sniper to launch an attack, yet he never expected that Su would dare to lie in wait on their escape route, allowing them to approach within ten meters before firing. No matter how formidable the defensive power, it requires time to activate. If that shot were directed at Aubrey, he would not be able to withstand it either; although he would not die, he would at least be seriously injured. He had been concentrating on sensing a range of 500 to 800 meters, the optimal distance for a sniper to launch an attack, yet he never expected that Su would dare to lie in wait on their escape route, allowing them to approach within ten meters before firing.

At the moment Su fled into the underground passage, Oberyn clearly saw that Su's exposed skin was still covered with crisscrossing cuts. He believed that under such injuries, Su would not be able to hold on for long. Concealment and sniping are one thing, but direct confrontation is another.

Auberon grasped Lecona's hand. A flicker of comfort passed through Lecona's bewildered eyes as he tightened his grip with his right hand, like a drowning person finding a straw to cling to. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but at that moment, the light in his eyes faded, and his right hand gradually lost strength and loosened.

Several hundred meters away, Su Jing stood quietly in the center of the intersection, her emerald eyes gazing at Oberon. The modified rifle was not aimed but was slung behind Su's back. She had merely formed the intention to aim, and then Oberon sensed it, instantly moving out of the area she had locked onto.

When Laikona suddenly came to his senses, a strong chill unexpectedly surged through his heart. Almost instinctively, he suddenly crouched down and simultaneously pushed down a retainer standing beside him.

Auberon rarely displayed such seriousness; with a firm grip of his right hand, his body sprang back to life as if wound up like a clock. He stepped out of the subway station, standing in the middle of the road, facing Su Yaoyao.

"Next time, I will kill you." This message came with a sharp pain in Oberyn's forehead.

This area is unfamiliar to both Su and Oberon. Su records every place he has run through on the map, so there is never a problem of getting lost. Oberon also seems to possess an extraordinary memory for the terrain; even though he follows Su through the winding passages of the maze, the distance between them gradually decreases. As long as he has traversed a place once, there will be no instances of taking detours or going the long way around.

The battle is far from over

This is an abandoned seven-story building, which, even in the old days, was considered quite an ancient structure. Its most prominent feature is the high ceilings of the large rooms, while the windows are small in size but numerous, not affecting the lighting. Later, the purpose of this building became unknown, and most of the windows were bricked up, leaving one or two narrow windows that rendered the rooms very dark, allowing even creatures like zombies, which fear sunlight, to move about inside.

However, why did Ligore suddenly bring this organization's people to pursue him? Could it be related to Li?

Dozens of extremely hot metallic droplets fell down in a flurry, with many landing precisely where Li Gaolei had just been standing. Had he not reacted quickly, being splashed by these molten metal droplets would surely have resulted in the loss of flesh at the slightest contact

He suddenly looked up, gazing at the passageway that had just opened.

At another subway station entrance, Oberon pushed open the half-closed wire mesh gate and walked up the steps one by one. He could have easily flung the wire mesh gate aside, and indeed felt that impulse at the moment of pushing the door. However, Oberon's mood gradually calmed, and he chose to ascend to the surface in the most conventional manner.

The moment he recalled the scene from that time, Ligore felt a strange discomfort within his body, as if those wooden stakes were being driven into him one by one. He muttered a curse under his breath, and when he thought of the sight of Raikona's brain matter oozing down, a peculiar sense of pleasure surged within him, making him want to crush what remained of that half-destroyed head into a pulp.

Auberon did not deliberately lighten his footsteps, knowing that it would be meaningless. Su was evidently a person with extraordinary perceptive abilities, and no matter how careful Auberon was, he could not conceal himself from him. Moreover, Auberon did not have extensive experience surviving in the wilderness, while Su was clearly well adapted to it. Once given enough time to hide, Auberon would have no chance of finding him again.

The roar echoed thunderously, traveling an unknown distance, reverberating back and forth among the towering skyscrapers. If one had not witnessed it with their own eyes, no one would have imagined that such a frail body could produce such a tremendous volume

Almost simultaneously with the sound of gunfire, the attendants in the team had already taken evasive actions, while Leikona and Oberyn stepped sideways a moment before the gunfire.

Auberon did not understand the underground passages in this area, and he even abandoned the method of tracking the traces left by Su. Su moved through the ventilation ducts at an unusually fast speed, leading Auberon to believe that a certain hit would land, only to find it missed. However, these close encounters had already allowed him to lock onto Su; in his perception, Su appeared as a flickering green firefly constantly moving. Although Auberon was unfamiliar with the terrain, he was steadily approaching Su, and with a speed nearly double that of Su's, he could quickly return to the right path even if he took a detour, continuously closing the distance to less than 100 meters between them.

The afterglow of dusk illuminated the glass curtain wall, reflecting a dazzling array of colorful brilliance. Su knew that this intense light would last at most 20 minutes, after which the entire city would plunge into the deepest darkness

Auberon leaped up, his head and upper body already entering the ventilation duct. He then delivered a lateral strike with his left elbow, which surprisingly broke through the stainless steel wall of the duct, leaving his body suspended.

This is a simple yet effective trap

This time, it was Oberon who tightly grasped Lecona's hand, preventing him from slipping away. Oberon's left hand, which supported Lecona's head, was soaked with a considerable amount of warm, slippery sensation, yet he dared not look!
