Chapter 1344: The Old Schemer Named Lan Zuo

Su Xiao moved his neck, his entire body's muscles tensed. After blood sprayed from over a dozen wounds on his body, the bleeding stopped. The ground beneath his feet gradually cracked.

The entire room shook, and Su Xiao charged straight toward Mask. As for retreating now, it was simply impossible. The enemy was a "scheming cat"; once Su Xiao chose to retreat, the opponent would definitely find a way to entangle him.

Clang.

The long blade sliced through the air, slashing over Mask's head. A cat ear flew out; it was an "ornament" on Mask's helmet.

However, this was no ornament. As a Fourth Tier Qiyuezhe, how could Mask generate useless ornaments on her helmet? Those two cat ears were a signal receiver and a signal amplification device, respectively.

Barely dodging Su Xiao's slash, Mask crouched, pressing both hands to the ground.

"Oscillation!"

With a hum, pulses radiated from Mask's body. Su Xiao's vision blurred; the enemy was oscillating the water molecules inside his body.

Su Xiao experienced a moment of dizziness. Just as Mask prepared to tear open Su Xiao's throat with a claw, a massive force struck her lower abdomen.

Bang!

Mask crashed through the ceiling, flying toward the heights.

Su Xiao swung his left arm downward, and the Jie Duan Xian connected to his arm tightened. After a scream, Mask was dragged down from the top floor of the hospital, crashing heavily into the ground.

Su Xiao stepped on Mask's spine, and the long blade slashed down. A soft metal helmet flew up, but no blood appeared.

Mask's entire soft metal outer armor actually extended by a segment, allowing her to retract her head into the armor at her torso, thereby avoiding the fate of being decapitated.

Mask's pupils were trembling. Just now, she had nearly been decapitated. In a head-on battle, she had already lost. According to normal procedure, shouldn't he try to extort her first? What kind of logic was it to go straight for decapitation?

Zhan Long Shan reversed in Su Xiao's hand. Holding the long blade in a reverse grip, he stabbed toward the torso of the outer armor, aiming straight for Mask's head.

"Wait a minute..."

Bang!

Su Xiao stumbled a few steps to the left. A sniper bullet was embedded in his shoulder, and the energy shield layer wrapped around the bullet.

Su Xiao exerted force in his shoulder, and the shield layer shattered.

On a high-rise building a kilometer away, a burly man chewing gum pulled the bolt of his rifle.

"Little wildcat, for the sake of Brother Kuang Hu, I'll save you once."

The shell casing hit the ground, and the sniper's sights aimed at Su Xiao.

"Is this the ruthless guy who defeated Brother Kuang Hu? Unexpectedly fierce, actually pressing the little wildcat to the ground and beating her."

The sniper didn't fire again; he had to change sniper points immediately. The previous shots from the opponent left a deep impression on him. This sniper could be certain that Su Xiao had already discovered his position and could rush over at any time.

Inside the abandoned hospital, Su Xiao's gaze looked into the distance. That feeling of being locked on had vanished.

Mask, who had been lying on the ground, had already leaped up. Without the obstruction of the helmet, Su Xiao saw her face. This was a girl with delicate features and black eyeshadow.

Suddenly, electric arcs spread across the surrounding walls, and the entire abandoned hospital collapsed with a roar.

Boom!

Dust surged, and the hospital completely collapsed in just a few seconds, turning into a large pile of building debris.

Within the building debris, blade light flickered, large amounts of concrete debris flew up, and a figure leaped into the dust.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

After a fit of dry coughing, Mask also crawled out from the building debris.

The dust slowly dissipated, and faint electric arcs flickered.

"Little wildcat, what are you screeching for? If you hadn't been screeching, I would have already made a move to save you."

A faint figure approached from within the dust. When the dust dissipated, Su Xiao saw a bald man.

"Bullshit, you old schemer, you were definitely following me the whole time, waiting for me to die before making a move."

Mask, leaning against half a cement pillar, spoke. The soft metal outer armor on her body had already been repaired, looking no different from before the battle. However, her body under the armor was covered in wounds, and she couldn't even stand steadily.

"Thanks to your screaming, those lone wolves were attracted again. This place is no different from the Gunpowder Tavern."

The bald man, Lan Zuo, rubbed his bald head.

"It is said that baldness adds critical hits; I don't know if it's true or not."

Lan Zuo's gaze drifted toward Su Xiao. From his previous words, it could be heard that he believed Su Xiao would definitely die here.

It was not strange for Lan Zuo to have this thought. On the tops of the surrounding buildings, lone wolves stood or sat.

"Is this that sniper? How did he do it?"

"Not clear, but I know Luo Jie's sidearm is on him."

"After going around in circles, it's another group of people fighting for a gun. This is indeed no different from the Gunpowder Tavern."

"I don't care. If I can't get it, no one else should think about getting it."

The lone wolves leaped down from above the buildings, closing in on Su Xiao in a surrounding formation.

"You have today too; it's so gratifying to me."

Mask revealed a gratified smile. She had been pressed to the ground and rubbed earlier, almost rubbed into sparks.

"Letting others take the blame... feels great, right."

From the beginning until now, Lan Zuo was actually not angry. He just wanted to know how Su Xiao managed a certain link in this matter.

"Lan Zuo, give up. This guy is a mute."

Mask waved her hand, meaning that this guy wouldn't pay attention to you.

"Is that so? Bai Ye?"

Lan Zuo naturally recognized Su Xiao.

"It's a pity that the black pot didn't smash you to death."

Su Xiao spoke for the first time since the battle started. Mask, not far away, was stunned, and then a fit of stifling anger rose in her heart.

"Of course it couldn't smash me to death. Come to think of it, our leader is very fond of you. Really not joining us? If we are our own people, the previous grudges will be wiped out. I'll help you rush out, and the reward for Luo Jie's sidearm will be split equally."

Hearing Lan Zuo's words, Su Xiao's first reaction was a trap.

"Is Lan Zuo crazy?"

A lone wolf looked at Lan Zuo in astonishment.

"Has he... ever been normal?"

"Eww~"

Amidst the surprised expressions of many lone wolves, Lan Zuo issued an invitation to Su Xiao. This seemed absurd, but in reality, it was a good choice.

If Su Xiao were besieged to death, the scene at the Gunpowder Tavern would be reproduced: a group of people guarding Luo Jie's sidearm, and whoever moved would die.

But if Su Xiao and Lan Zuo joined forces to rush out and found a way to split the reward for Luo Jie's sidearm, the situation would be different.

But would Lan Zuo really split the reward equally with Su Xiao? This possibility was very low. If Lan Zuo were sincere about cooperating, he would at least draft a contract.

And Lan Zuo also revealed another meaning, which was that whoever was willing to cooperate with him to seize Luo Jie's sidearm and break out of the encirclement would split the benefits equally.

"This old schemer."

Mask murmured, slowly retreating to the periphery. She had already been beaten to the point of losing her qualification to compete.

"I refuse."

Su Xiao naturally didn't believe Lan Zuo's bullshit.

"Sure enough, not easy to fool."

Lan Zuo spoke in a low voice. A lone wolf nearby heard this, and the corner of the lone wolf's eye twitched. Regardless of Lan Zuo's expression or tone, he had felt Lan Zuo was very sincere before; unfortunately, the previous words were completely meant to trap people. This was a guy who would eat people without spitting out the bones.

If it were just an old schemer, it wouldn't be too terrifying, but a powerful old schemer was very terrifying.

To be precise, Lan Zuo didn't join the Phantom Lutuan after being invited. He killed the previous No. 10 member of the Lutuan, thereby obtaining the 【Phantom Lutuan Invitation Number】, and joined the Lutuan in this form.

Su Xiao had also obtained the 【Phantom Lutuan Invitation Number】 before, but he didn't choose to join the Lutuan, instead selling that number as World Source. That was the number of the No. 11 Lutuan member, Carl.

Precisely because of this, Lan Zuo had always been the No. 10 member of the Lutuan.

"So, are you prepared to go 1 against 43?"

The smile on Lan Zuo's face faded.

Pale blue light surged on Su Xiao's body, and his gaze swept around. Now... he could only use that.
