Chapter 977: He will do as he promised
Translator: Legge
The black-clothed hitmen were already sure of their victory. But when that familiar metallic-gray armored being appeared from behind the shattered door, the legendary figure completely destroyed the hitmen’s confidence in the blink of an eye.
Some time ago, the guardian angel of Hope Media had worn armor and slaughtered nearly a 1,000 thugs in Luoyang City.
A person like that was not someone they stood a chance against.
They thought that with hundreds of armed combatants on their side, they would be 100% a.s.sured of a victory even if they were facing a supernatural being. After all, there were not too many supernatural beings who did not fear bullets in the world.
However, the hitmen suddenly realized they had encountered the exact person who was not afraid of bullets.
That was right. After Jiang Xu was killed, how could Hope Media’s guardian angel possibly not come?
Ren Xiaosu had already charged into the group of hitmen in his armor. In front of this metallic frame, whatever combat formation and firepower they had would be useless.
Before Ren Xiaosu entered the villa, the manner in which he killed his enemies was more like a brutal work of art. But after he emerged from the villa, his killing techniques reverted to pure violence.
As Ren Xiaosu grabbed the necks of two hitmen in his armor, the tough armor covering his hands locked around their cervical discs. With just a light squeeze, a crus.h.i.+ng sound could be heard.
The armored being threw the corpses to the ground and started charging around with heavy and powerful steps, shattering the exquisite flagstone pavement in the neighborhood under its feet.
There was no need to precisely deal fatal blows anymore, nor was there a need to meticulously plan how to kill his enemies.
Ren Xiaosu had operated the armor for quite a while, so the moment the cuties connected to his neurons, he knew he had returned to his peak condition.
Gunshots cracked from the sides as the other hitmen teams started coming over to try to intercept Ren Xiaosu.
As the bra.s.s bullets. .h.i.t the armor, the normally highly lethal weapons only managed to send a few sporadic sparks flying.
Not only were the bullets not fatal against Ren Xiaosu, but they attracted his attention.
After Ren Xiaosu wiped out all the hitmen in front of him in his armor, he slowly turned around and looked at the hitmen who were shooting at him.
For some reason, those hitmen gradually stopped shooting and the gunfire slowly started ceasing.
They felt a sense of fear growing in their hearts with just a stare from the menacing armored being.
They had absolutely no way of inflicting any damage on this armored being. As the hitmen were originally planted inside Luoyang City, they could not bring in any heavy firepower with them.
At this moment, the armored being was invincible.
“Retreat!” someone shouted.
The hundreds of black-clothed hitmen had surrounded Ren Xiaosu like a pack of wolves that smelled blood and embarked on a sophisticated hunt for him.
But when the armored being appeared, the hitmen scattered in panic like jackals that had encountered a lion.
But just as some of the hitmen turned to escape, they saw White Mask standing behind them.
“Old Xu” stood there with its saber raised as raindrops kept dripping down from the tip of the black saber in the drizzle.
Ren Xiaosu smiled. He had only come here for revenge so he could kill all of the enemies to avenge Jiang Xu. Since he had painstakingly lured all of these people to one place, how could he possibly let them off so easily?
Screams could be heard coming from the neighborhood. The residents living there were all people of status in Luoyang City. But at this moment, everyone remained hidden in their homes and did not even dare to breathe too loudly for fear of getting caught in the crossfire.
They knew full well that the people partic.i.p.ating in this battle in the neighborhood had transcended this world.
The black-clothed hitmen started retreating quickly. But they somehow felt like no matter how fast they ran, they were still going to get caught by the two G.o.dly killers behind them.
But as there were simply too many hitmen, not even Ren Xiaosu and Old Xu could kill them all despite their strength.
Ren Xiaosu slowly stopped in his tracks. Actually, the hitmen were still unaware that he was only the bait. The actual trap had already been laid in the pouring rain.
The remaining 200-odd hitmen attempted to jump over the walls and flee for their lives. One of the black-clothed hitmen even threw away his gun and prepared to hop over the black metal railings in the neighborhood with his bare hands.
It was not that he was stupid enough to throw away his own gun but that he knew very well that the weapons were only sc.r.a.p metal in the face of the armored being.
When the hitman got to the metal railings, he propped himself up with two hands and was about to vault over.
But he did not notice that as he got closer, the creeper vines wrapped around the metal railings had quietly turned into sharp spikes.
Then the creeper vine’s spikes turned into sharp spears and pierced his body. Furthermore, it started sucking out his blood and draining all the energy from his body.
Everything happened in an instant. After the hitman’s body fell to the ground from the railings, the vine tentacles immediately reverted to their harmless state.
When the hitmen behind him who were also similarly escaping saw the body, they could not even understand how their companion had died.
Ren Xiaosu did not come to Luoyang City by himself but had traveled here together with his maidservant.
Actually, from this point alone, it could be seen just how furious Ren Xiaosu was. By bringing a top-tier superhuman like his maid to Luoyang City, his entire purpose was to start a ma.s.sacre known as revenge.
Now that the situation was not as terrible as he had expected it to be, it was better to have the creeper vines kill the enemies without causing a scene. But if there were really enemies everywhere, Ren Xiaosu did not mind destroying the city either.
Before coming to Luoyang City, Ren Xiaosu had already stated he wanted to pay his respects to Mr. Jiang Xu and avenge him, as well as to protect Luo Lan.
If someone attempted to a.s.sa.s.sinate Luo Lan after killing Jiang Xu, they could very well go ahead and try. But Ren Xiaosu would kill anyone who tried to do so.
Since he had said that, he would definitely do as he promised. He would kill every one of them and not leave a single person alive.
At this moment, Zhou Yingxue swayed her hips over to Ren Xiaosu with an exquisite umbrella in hand. She looked at Ren Xiaosu’s armor enviously. “Master, can you get Luo Lan to give me some nanomachines as well? I’d like to use this armor as well. It looks so awesome.”
Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Yingxue. “Have you surrounded all of them?”
“Don’t worry, Master, I’ve already laid a dragnet in the neighborhood, so none of them will be able to get away.” Zhou Yingxue beamed.
The maidservant thought it had been such a long time since she fought alongside her master.. Whenever she was alone in the Northwest, she would reminisce on the times she traveled around with her master.
