Chapter 276 City Crusher!
Li Dingding had come prepared. Unlike Lin Qi, the test subject, he was one of those in the Li Consortium with the largest amount of nanomachines in their bodies. His synchronization rate was as high as 94%!
Although there were a lot of people with a synchronization rate above 80%, only a rare few would come close to a 100% synchronization rate.
Besides that, Li Dingding had also brought 30 elite nanosoldiers with him, and these people were much stronger than the average nanosoldier of the Divine Arms Battalion.
But when Ren Xiaosu jumped in front of him, Li Dingding suddenly found that he did not even have time to dodge. It was not because he was too slow, but that his opponent was too fast!
Moreover, the appearance of the armor really shocked him. Although Li Dingding knew it was made of nanomachines, he wondered just how many nanomachines were needed in order to create a strong armor like it?
Previously, he could not figure out where all the nanomachines had disappeared to. But now he finally understood. Just how many nanosoldiers did he have to kill to get them? Could it be that all the dead nanosoldiers were killed by Ren Xiaosu right from the beginning?
Just as expected, the answer had laid in the many coincidences!
But what shocked him the most was the time it took for Ren Xiaosu to finish covering his body with the armor. It had only taken him a moment!
The insiders of the Li Consortium knew well that since the synchronization rate went from low to high, it meant there was a difference in the efficiency of controlling the nanomachines. The lower the synchronization rate, the slower the nanomachines could be operated after receiving a command.
But for Ren Xiaosu?
The time it took for his opponent’s armor to be formed was remarkably fast. Even Li Dingding knew he would absolutely not be able to achieve such a speed.
But he was already at a synchronization rate of 94%. If even he could not achieve that, then just how high could Ren Xiaosu’s synchronization rate be?!
It was already too late to think about that. Ren Xiaosu had Li Dingding’s neck firmly in his hands through the cold and menacing armor. Li Dingding could feel his entire body being lifted up into the air. Then that hand tightened its grip and slammed him right into the hard ground. In that instant, Li Dingding felt like he was being wrapped in a strange sense of weightlessness!
He attempted to break free from the grasp but found that the nanomachines he was so proud of were totally useless in the face of his opponent’s strength!
All his struggles were in vain. His opponent was simply too fast and too strong!
How could a human being reach a speed like that?!
With a loud crash, Li Dingding’s head, neck, and back were slammed into the ground. He could even feel all his bones getting utterly smashed while the nanomachines that were being used to strengthen his musculoskeletal frame were disintegrated.
Li Dingding was sprawled out on the ground facing up. The empty gaze in his eyes could only see Ren Xiaosu’s face hidden behind a mask of armor. He was exuding a look of menace and resolve.
It only took a split second for all this to happen, and the surrounding nanosoldiers that were standing guard did not even have time to react. They had not expected Ren Xiaosu to actually try to kill someone with so many of them surrounding him!
Furthermore, they had not even seen anything like that menacing armor before! The Li Consortium had only taught them how to use the nanomachine as an a.s.sistive tech, but they never told them the nanomachines could be used that way!
The nanosoldiers raised their guns and started shooting at Ren Xiaosu. w.a.n.g Yuchi shouted in a low voice to the other students, “Get down!”
It was as though they had discussed this beforehand as w.a.n.g Yuchi, Li Qingzheng, and the students all dropped to the ground at the same time. The bullets that hit Ren Xiaosu’s armor only making clinks on impact. They did not cause any effective damage at all!
As the nanosoldiers fired their weapons, a gold-and-black staff suddenly came swinging in. Chen Wudi yelled, “Whoever dares hurt my master shall die!”
The front end of the Golden-Hooped Rod suddenly grew in size and length. It hit the three nanosoldiers right in the waist like a club. When the cudgel was swinging in the air, it made a terrifying whoos.h.i.+ng sound and created a vortex of air behind it!
Based on previous tests, nanosoldiers were definitely enough to deal with typical supernatural beings. However, Li Dingding and his men had not expected that the two supernatural beings in this tent were not the usual supernatural beings!
Li Qingzheng was lying on the ground with his hands protecting his head and muttering, “I knew it… I just knew it…”
In the blink of an eye, the nanosoldiers lost the rhythm of their attacks. As they had too little combat experience against supernatural beings, they couldn’t tell who the bigger threat was between Chen Wudi and Ren Xiaosu.
Moreover, as the tent was not that big, this environment ended up being even more suited for Ren Xiaosu and Chen Wudi to unleash their superpowers in.
Some of the nanosoldiers turned their guns on Chen Wudi. But after firing half a magazine of bullets at him, Chen Wudi was still totally unscathed!
A golden glow kept s.h.i.+mmering around Chen Wudi’s body. When a bullet hit his shoulder, traces of the golden armor would become visible there before disappearing again. When the other nanosoldiers concentrated their firepower on him, a wave of bullets rained down on Chen Wudi and caused his golden armor to become completely visible.
It was the toughest armor in the world, so tough that not even a 100,000 lightning strikes from the Heavenly Palace could destroy it. Chen Wudi said calmly, “Are you all done shooting? It’s my turn now!”
Then Chen Wudi disappeared from the nanosoldiers’ view. Only Ren Xiaosu’s voice could be heard in the tent. “Cover the left while I take the right!”
Ren Xiaosu charged over and rammed into the nanosoldiers without any fanciful moves. It was as though a mountain had hit them. Two totally helpless nanosoldiers were sent flying out of the tent, and they even tore a large hole in the tent as they flew out!
In a normal situation, other people would probably have already noticed that something strange was going on here. However, with the Qing Consortium coming back for another attack, it had created an excellent opportunity for Ren Xiaosu.
The nanosoldiers landed on the ground outside and couldn’t get up anymore. It felt like all of their bones were broken.
If they only suffered a few broken bones, the nanomachines in their bodies could have filled the fractures and mended them quickly.
But they had broken too many bones!
The artillery fire outside was even more intense than the earlier wave the Qing Consortium had carried out. The tent with a hole in it was flapping hard in the strong winds created by the bombardment.
Ren Xiaosu stood next to the hole and looked behind him. Only these 20 nanosoldiers remained standing in front of him, while the night sky behind him was abuzz with noise.
The nanosoldiers knew their guns were useless against this armor. One by one, the nanosoldiers discarded their guns and drew their nanoswords from their waists!
Ren Xiaosu drew his black saber from out of thin air and broke into a smile with the pattern on the face armor also seemingly revealing a smile. “Whatever you have, I have too. But whatever I have is much more than all of you combined! Let’s start counting down: 30 seconds!”
“What do you mean, ’30 seconds?”” The nanosoldiers got even more uneasy when they heard that. They did not even dare to take the initiative to attack him now.
Ren Xiaosu said, “The last 30 seconds of your lives.”
The next moment, he muttered silently in his mind, “City Crusher!”
His pupils hidden behind the face armor turned crimson in color.
