Chapter 244: Drilling Through
"We are surrounded?"
"Yes, President."
"How many people are there on the other side?"
"A lot! People are coming from all four directions!"
“…”
Amaryllis had set up "sand towers" at least two or three kilometers around the camp for early warning, but they kept sending back warnings of being trampled on.
If it was a monster or a zombie, such a large-scale movement would have been impossible to hide. But now it is not, so it must be a human who knows how to conceal his presence!
Moreover, such a big fuss is obviously not for these free hunters, it is 100% aimed at them!
…
"Walk!"
As soon as they heard the news reported by Amaryllis, Ryan and his companions did not hold out any hope. They found a direction and quickly rushed into the darkness.
The scavengers who had just been eating, drinking and chatting together were now stunned.
"What... happened?"
"Why did they leave so suddenly?"
"I just heard them say...it seems like someone has surrounded this place?"
“…”
The scavengers hadn't figured out what was happening yet, but they all became alert and picked up their weapons.
On the other hand, as soon as Ryan and his five companions ran out of the camp, they seemed to have been discovered.
Suddenly, flares exploded in the sky, illuminating the ruins.
The five figures in the darkness were illuminated and stopped.
Because they chose the direction of escape, they happened to run into hundreds of well-equipped hunters wearing uniform group emblems who surrounded them.
"Sunflower Chamber of Commerce!"
When Ryan saw the regimental emblems, his pupils shrank suddenly.
Obviously, those guys seemed to have mastered some secret positioning method and clearly located the direction of their evacuation.
As soon as the five of them rushed out of the camp, they ran into the main force of the encirclement and suppression.
The people leading the group were familiar faces.
Leading the group was a green-haired young man dressed in aristocratic attire, who was none other than George Rosas, the young lord of the “Black Wind Territory”.
Ryan had seen this guy once in the Black Wind Territory.
At this moment, the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion was staring at Ryan and the others with a playful look on his face.
The other beautiful lady was more familiar, she was Phoebe von Sebir, the vice president of the Sunflower Chamber of Commerce.
The Sunflower Chamber of Commerce is now the most important official cooperative chamber of commerce in the Kingdom of Light. Ryan was not too surprised that Wumu was not dead and that Madam Phoebe did not die in the Plague Base.
Beside these two men, in addition to some guards in heavy armor, there were three others whose attire was particularly eye-catching.
Two of them were dressed in long martial arts robes, one of them had half-sleeve boxing gloves covered with fish scale armor on his arms; the other one was a burly bald man with his upper body exposed, his muscular body was very eye-catching.
These two were well-known in the martial arts world, and Ryan recognized them at a glance. They were both disciples of the martial arts master Rocky Refar, [Mysterious Hand] Nord Green and [Iron Tower] Hope King!
Ryan had talked about them with the wasteland hunters before.
Both of them are third-level transcendents, and each of them has specialized in a field of martial arts and has profound attainments.
One [Cannon Fist] has reached the pinnacle, and one punch can kill a large fourth-order monster; the other [Vajra] has reached perfection, and is invulnerable to swords and spears!
Ryan looked at the two men and frowned slightly.
…
And the other one was a gray-robed wizard.
Amaryllis recognized the blind wizard holding the crystal ball, and was shocked. She blurted out, "It's the fortune teller, [Blind] Dennett!"
Mystical extraordinary people are already rare, and those in the "divination sequence" are even rarer.
There are a lot of so-called fortune tellers and prophets in every city, but 99% of them are professional scammers. There are not many who can really tell fortunes, predict, and locate things.
The [Blind] Dennett in front of him is one of the most famous fortune tellers in Glory City, and is good at psychic divination.
When they saw this man, Ryan and his companions immediately understood how their position was exposed.
Just now they thought that the trouble was caused by the patrol team they killed during the day, but obviously, it was not the case.
Instead, it was accurately located by the fortune teller!
Thinking about it again, things seemed to become clear in an instant .
[Ghost] The news of Chilos's murder has already reached the top leaders of the Sunflower Chamber of Commerce.
And because there was a traitor around Catherine, it was easy for the enemy to get some biological samples such as hair and nails as a medium for psychic divination.
Unexpectedly, after divination, I found that the "target" was nearby.
Moreover, there are only five people on Ryan's side, so it is easy to guess who is targeted by the divination.
Ryan and Amaryllis were non-intelligence personnel, and they were high-level transcendents, so the cost of divination was not small. Catherine was originally a mystical transcendent, so the divination result was not accurate. However, her son Gannicus was the most suitable!
But even if I figured this out, it was too late.
Because they are surrounded!
…
At this time, Madam Phoebe came out, looked at the few people for a moment, and soon fell on Catherine. With a hint of gloating in her tone, she said, "Hey... Isn't this President Catherine? It's so late, where are you going?"
Glory City has poured in too many resources, but has still not been able to defeat the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce. The vice president of the Sunflower has been questioned about her abilities by people from the Omar Royal City recently, and she has been angry a lot.
Now it seems that this problem can be completely solved.
Ryan and his companions were all disguised, dressed like ordinary scavengers.
But Mrs. Phoebe still called out Catherine's name right away, obviously she was well prepared.
Moreover, since they surrounded us with such fanfare, they probably didn’t intend to leave anybody alive.
After her identity was exposed, Catherine did not continue to pretend. She took off the veil on her head and asked in a deep voice, "President Phoebe, what do you mean by this?"
Phoebe smiled playfully, "No, no, no, this has nothing to do with our Chamber of Commerce. I just heard that there were dangerous people approaching the camp, so I followed to take a look. I didn't expect it to be President Catherine..."
Even though they are irreconcilable business rivals, they still have to put on a show.
Otherwise, if word gets out that their "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce" is unable to beat the other party through legitimate business operations and resorts to this method to eliminate dissidents, it will affect the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce.
At this time, the green-haired young man stood up and said, "You are suspected of murdering the knights of the Duke's Palace. I, George Rosas, declare you under arrest! Put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"
Hearing this, Catherine sneered and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Excuse me, Master George, where is the evidence? I am a legal businessman. You can detain me if you want. In the future, will there be any other businessmen who dare to do business in your territory?"
Although they killed a bunch of patrols during the day, she was very confident that they had done it cleanly and did not leave any clues to cause suspicion on them.
The fact is, the other party really has no evidence, and he just said this without thinking.
But when he heard Catherine's question, the green-haired young man seemed humiliated.
In the eyes of the upper nobility, the status of merchants is not much higher than that of commoners.
He sneered repeatedly: "Whether it was you who did it, you can find out if you follow my guards. Why is it that the orders from our Lord's Mansion are useless in the eyes of you merchants from the Redwood Chamber of Commerce?"
Previously, for the sake of the territory’s reputation and because these chambers of commerce could bring some vitality to the territory, they were allowed to grow and develop.
Now that the "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce" has moved in in a big way, other small chambers of commerce are not so important anymore.
What's more, now the two empires are sharing the fat piece of meat of the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce". Young Master George has heard that those nobles who took action are making a lot of money.
The "Redwood Chamber of Commerce" has also become wealthy, and now that it has been liquidated, they will be able to reap a large amount of unexpected wealth in their territory.
Besides, even if there is a breakdown, it won’t be a big problem.
Now that the Glorious Kingdom is developing at a rapid pace, countless chambers of commerce are scrambling to move in. Even if there is only one Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, there are still countless chambers of commerce.
…
"Haha... it's just a false accusation..."
It was obvious that the other party was determined to defeat them tonight, Catherine sneered.
Surrender?
In this desert ruins, no one knows what happened even if they die.
There is no room for luck in this matter.
Everyone knew that there was only one way tonight, and that was - fight!
At this time, she also heard a calm voice beside her saying, "I will take action soon, and you will find a chance to break out."
Catherine glanced at Ryan and nodded.
They have seen Ryan 's abilities. Although the other side has more people, it is not certain that they can be stopped.
As he said this, the magic power in Amaryllis' body began to surge slowly.
…
And just at the first moment when Ryan and his men were surrounded.
The high-level transcendents on the opposite side were also watching Ryan and his companions closely.
Intelligence shows that there is an "absurdly powerful" mysterious second-level person who killed [Ghost] Qilos.
There are only five people in front of us. Excluding Catherine and her son, and the third-level magician, there are only Ryan and the guard Jimmy.
In order to defend against sneak attacks, Ryan's fighting spirit was released. Ryan, who was "only in the early stage of the third level", was not taken seriously by the two veteran strong men [Mysterious Hand] Nord and [Iron Tower] Hope.
On the contrary, Jimmy, the second-level extraordinary guard, seemed to fit the description in the intelligence completely, and was locked by the two men's aura.
The other party was not stupid either. When he saw the strange expressions on Ryan's faces, he also ordered at the same time: "Go!"
A gray giant hand suddenly condensed on the ground where Ryan and his companions were fighting. This was the control skill of a high-level mage - [Hand of the Mage].
In order to cast this spell instantly, Madam Phoebe even wasted a very precious fifth-tier magic scroll (to cast a third-tier spell instantly, one must be a fifth-tier wizard, and the same goes for the scroll).
At this moment, guard Jimmy, who had no reaction at all, was grabbed by the big hand and trapped and unable to move.
The people on the other side were all delighted when they saw Jimmy being controlled. According to the intelligence, "this guy" was good at fighting and had a very fast escape speed. Now that he was restrained, he could only wait for death.
What no one expected was that almost at the moment the scroll was released, there was a sudden explosion in the air.
"Bang!"
Others might not be sensitive enough to the sound, but the expressions of the two veteran fighters suddenly changed.
How could they not be familiar with the sound of feet hitting the ground and breaking the air?
Just by hearing this sound, they immediately realized that the opponent's speed was even faster than the intelligence said.
When the sound reaches your ears, it means that the opponent's body has already rushed in!
But wasn’t the second-level extraordinary person in front of him being controlled? Who made the explosion?
Accused the wrong person!
They realized something immediately, but it was too late.
At this moment, the five figures in the field of vision were still in the same place, but at this time, there was one more person among their group!
Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was the "merely early third-level" transcendent who they had thought was not to be feared.
Everyone immediately realized that this was the mysterious and powerful man in the intelligence!
Only with such ghostly movements could he chase down the [Ghost] Qilos, leaving him no way to escape.
But... didn't the intelligence confirm that he was only a Level 2 Transcendent? In just a few days, he had already advanced to Level 3?
However, this is not the time to think about this.
Before everyone could express the shock in their minds, they saw Ryan appear in front of the fortune teller and raise his hand to punch.
"Oh no, he's going to kill Mr. Dennett!"
But even if they all guessed Ryan's purpose, no one could stop him.
Because he is so fast!
…
"snort!"
Ryan flashed and appeared in front of the blind wizard. Before he could stand firm, he took advantage of the inertia and punched out without hesitation.
The mystical transcendent is weaker than the wizard's physical body. Although there is a faint defensive magic shield on the wizard's body, he is probably always on guard against sneak attacks.
But the essence of a magic shield is to block, reduce, and buffer damage, and it is only one or two times stronger than the extraordinary body protection fighting spirit of a melee fighter of the same level.
The wizard's magic shield was very solid, and a few ordinary third-level punches might not kill him. But it was like nothing against this punch that was several times stronger than the third-level extraordinary punch.
If the magic shield is not broken, part of the damage will be blocked.
But after the power becomes strong enough to break the magic shield in an instant, it is as good as nothing.
Not to mention a second-level fortune teller, even a third-level heavy armored warrior would surely die if he was hit by this [Cannon Fist] at close range.
Ryan knew very well that if he wanted to escape the endless pursuit tonight, he had to kill this fortune teller first!
There was a muffled "bang" sound.
He threw a punch without hesitation, and before anyone could react, a bloody hole was punched in the fortune teller's chest.
This second-level fortune teller passed away before he even understood what was happening.
After killing one person, Ryan was like a tiger with bloodshot eyes. His momentum of charging forward did not slow down at all, and his feet made another loud explosion.
This time, he rushed directly towards the green-haired young man!
Now they were surrounded, and he knew that if he forced his way out, no one would be able to stop him, but it would be difficult for Catherine and the others to escape.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Capture the young master of the Duke's Mansion, and the danger will be resolved tonight!
…
The sudden change made all the people who were surrounding this area terrified.
A punch pierced through a person's chest, and the bloody scene effectively stunned everyone, making them even forget what to do.
The guy they thought was a mouse just a second ago suddenly jumped up and bit off the cat's ear. Everyone realized that things seemed a little unexpected.
Young Master George, who was regarded as Ryan's next target, was glared at by the ferocious eyes and his face turned pale in an instant.
I thought tonight would be a good show of catching a turtle in a jar, but I didn't expect the other party to be so fierce and dared to rush into a group of masters and violently kill one of them?
The mockery in his eyes suddenly turned into fear, and he shouted, "Protect me!"
Ryan was like a tiger, rushing into a pack of wolves and tearing a hole in their ranks.
…
At this time, Ryan's purpose and identity were exposed because he killed a person.
Those who can advance to the third level are not mediocre. The guards around Young Master George also reacted immediately and surrounded him.
Especially the two high-level fighters [Mysterious Hand] Nord and [Iron Tower] Hope, who are very familiar with the fighters' routines.
"Humph! Reckless man!"
Nord looked at Ryan who was rushing straight towards the crowd and sneered in his heart.
As a high-level fighter, how could he not know the advantages and disadvantages of [Godspeed]? This skill is indeed very fast, and the displacement trajectory is also easy to predict.
I was caught off guard just now, but now... don't even think about getting violent again!
Just as Ryan changed direction and rushed forward, he guessed something, predicted the direction in advance, and also flashed over with a loud bang.
Then he aimed in a direction and punched out with all his strength!
This punch predicted the opponent's trajectory and blocked Ryan's way to attack the green-haired young man.
The reality was just as he predicted, and it looked like Ryan was about to be hit head-on by his fist.
What Nord never expected was that the opponent did not dodge or evade, but also swung his fist, intending to fight him head-on?
"Humph, stupid choice!"
Seeing this scene, Nord was not afraid, but his eyes were filled with joy.
If the other party chooses to avoid him, he may have to use more means to subdue him.
But the hard steel on the front is exactly what he wants!
The boxing gloves that covered his entire arm were the famous boxing gloves [Wild Wind Silver Scale Arm Arm Guards]. With a powerful punch, they could split mountains and crack rocks. Yet, someone chose to fight him head-on?
In terms of martial arts, his [Cannon Fist] has reached perfection, not to mention the third-level, there are few fourth-level fighters who can match him;
In terms of strength, his almost pure strength-based extraordinary line made him look down upon any extraordinary person of the same level;
In terms of cultivation, as a veteran fighter who has advanced to the third level of transcendence for many years, would he be afraid of a newcomer who seems to be just beginning to gain momentum?
Equipment, martial arts, strength, cultivation... he is not inferior to anyone.
Nord felt that he had no reason to lose at all!
…
When the people on the side saw Ryan forcing his way in, they were also shocked, but then they turned their shock into sneers and ridicule.
That arrogant guy actually gave up his speed advantage and planned to fight head-on with [Xuan Shou] Nord?
In everyone's opinion, the outcome would be decided immediately after this strike...
…
And the next moment, this collision that everyone thought was without suspense, turned out to be unexpected.
In an instant,
The two fists, one purple and one blue, filled with fighting spirit, were like comets with long tails colliding with each other, making a loud "bang" sound that was deafening!
At the moment of contact, a visible air wave exploded with the contact point as the center, and the air wave blew sand and rocks around.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
Everyone watched as the white silk boxing gloves and the fish scale boxing gloves touched each other.
At this moment, [Mysterious Hand] Nord, who was at the center of the storm, sensed something and his face suddenly changed!
A huge force like a tidal wave came from his fist, instantly making his right arm lose consciousness. He cried out in his heart: "Not good!"
The evenly matched stalemate lasted only a moment.
A sneer appeared on Ryan's lips, and he rushed forward without fear.
You like to fight head-on. Unfortunately, I also like...
I am a reckless man!
The next second, everyone heard a series of fine "crackling" sounds of bones breaking, and then the blue fighting spirit dissipated like lightning.
The shock in their eyes didn't reach their brains, and everyone just watched a blood mist explode...
"Bang~"
With a crushing momentum, Ryan blasted away the protective fighting spirit on the opponent's arm with one punch, causing the entire right arm of Nord to explode into a ball of bloody mist!
The action of force is mutual, and the same is true for the ultimate martial arts such as [Cannon Fist] that can cause great damage. If it fails to kill the enemy, the force in the fist will not be released in advance and will definitely rebound in an instant.
Because both of them are using the same secret technique, in this kind of head-on collision, only the stronger side can unleash the full force!
Obviously, Ryan, who has supernatural powers, has an absolute advantage!
The shock force of the double [Cannon Fist] rebounded back to the weaker Nord side, causing the two arms to collide like a steel rod and a wooden stick, and the weaker side exploded into powder.
…
After the attack, Ryan didn't care about Nord, the Mysterious Hand, who had lost most of his skills even if he didn't die.
There was a loud "bang".
He stomped his foot on the ground again, and like a cannonball, he rushed towards the green-haired young man with unstoppable force!
Oh, surrounded?
Overthinking!
Can a bare palm wrap around a bullet that has just been fired?
