Chapter 1752: So Simple?

~8 min read 1,490 words

The West City District at night was very quiet. Shark and Chris moved through the gaps between houses and soon reached the edge of the cordon.

"Break through directly."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Shark rushed forward without stopping, and soon, several Security Force soldiers appeared in front of them.

"Suffocation."

Chris extended one hand forward, making a virtual gripping gesture. Those few Security Force soldiers showed expressions of pain and fell down, covering their throats with both hands.

Chris's ability wasn't to exhaust the oxygen near the enemy, but to instantly release an oxygen-free barrier, repelling the oxygen in the enemy's body. The enemy wouldn't feel suffocation but would faint or die suddenly due to lack of oxygen to the brain.

Shark and Chris broke through the cordon in just over ten seconds.

Click, click, click...

Cold ice spread. Shark, who had just broken through the cordon, stopped. He exerted force under his feet, shattering the ice layer that had bound him to the spot.

Amu walked out from across the street, holding a cold ice war hammer, with cold air rising all over its body.

"Moo!"

Amu roared, and wisps of cold air spread with it as the center point.

"Suffocation."

Chris extended one hand forward again in a virtual grip. Amu in the distance stopped.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The whistling sound of wind breaking struck. Chris tilted her body, dodging the cold ice war hammer that came spinning.

Snap, the cold ice war hammer landed and shattered, like a bomb, with the shattered ice chips flying everywhere like shrapnel.

"Quick battle, quick decision."

Shark slapped the ground with one hand, and the ground rippled, continuously spreading to the surroundings.

Amu suddenly sank into the ground and disappeared, as if falling into water.

The ripples on the ground stopped, as if frozen. Shark rushed forward, and the two of them soon disappeared at the edge of Zuer City.

Crack!

A large hand broke through the ground, and the ground shattered like a frozen ice surface. Amu supported itself on the ground with its hand and easily broke free from the frozen soil.

Returning to the ground, Amu scratched its head somewhat blankly, not understanding why it had to pretend to be dealt with. It could have dragged those two for a long time just now, and it didn't even feel too strong a sense of crisis from those two.

It was Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang who let Amu pretend to be dealt with because it had set coordinates nearby in advance using the 【Wolf Clan Heirloom】. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang knew Amu's abilities very well and knew that pursuit was its weakness. Unlike Amu, being targeted by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was absolutely a terrifying thing.

Below the clock tower in the West City District.

Su Xiao stood in a large pile of minced meat, flicking the blood off the Dragon Flash.

"Xiang Bubu, don't alert them, just keep following."

After Su Xiao hung up the communication, he let out a long sigh of relief. The Space-Time Core wasn't in Mr. J's hands, which was easy to handle. Now that he had clues, he just needed to wait for the two contractors to find a foothold, and then kill them.

Outside Zuer City, Shark, who was rushing forward rapidly, slowed down. The wilderness at night was overgrown with weeds and dead silent.

"Just like that?"

Shark seemed somewhat incredulous. He looked at Chris, who was a lone wolf specializing in perception. Such lone wolf contractors were rarer than giant pandas.

"No followers, at least not in my perception."

Chris opened her eyes, and she was also somewhat strange.

Beside Chris, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang appeared, yawning. Working "overtime" late at night, he was a bit sleepy.

"I thought there would be a big escape. Since we've escaped the city, things will be easier to handle later. Outside the city, even if he is the Commander of the Execution Agency, it's impossible for him to let too many Awakened stay out of the city for a long time."

Shark checked the summon list, and that giant shark had disappeared from the list.

"Hmm, that's indeed the case. But we still need five to seven shelters, and we need to figure out how often the Space-Time Core is tracked. I don't believe he found that place by coincidence. Judging from the range of that cordon, the Space-Time Core must be tracked or perceived. According to the introduction of the Space-Time Core, this thing is transformed from the core of the Eye Chambers. The Eye Chambers in Zuer City were activated this morning, between 10:00 and 12:00. Calculating this way, roughly every 12 to 14 hours, that person can track the Space-Time Core once."

After Chris finished saying this, she looked at Shark with an inquiring gaze.

"Uh, I thought so too."

Shark nodded in agreement. In reality, he had only thought of a part of it. After all, he was a martial arts type, and it was normal for his brain to be worse than Chris's.

"In other words, we need to keep moving between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM tomorrow, and carrying the Space-Time Core with us is unwise. It's best to let your summon carry this thing, roughly 500 to 800 meters away from us. With this distance, if an accident happens, we can both rush over quickly and have a buffer time, so we won't be blocked in the shelter. It can significantly reduce the risk. What do you think?"

"Hmm, makes sense."

Shark was already secretly vigilant against Chris at this time, but he also felt that the six soul crystals were well spent. The two walked slowly. Chris kept her head down while walking, looking like she was thinking about something. Contractors who could live to the fourth tier and participate in the fifth-tier promotion all had their own strengths.

"And, damn..."

Chris suddenly stopped, her pupils contracting rapidly.

"What's wrong?"

Shark looked at Chris in confusion.

"What's going on with that dog! Is it your summon?"

Following Chris's slender fingers, Shark saw Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang on a nearby dirt mound. Noticing the two's gaze, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang raised his dog paw and pointed behind them, meaning: "Don't mind me, I won't do anything to you, but my master might not."

"I don't have a furry summon."

"Enemies approaching from behind, very fast!"

Chris turned to look behind her.

Boom!

A loud explosion came from afar. In an instant, dozens of blade lights flew toward the two. Shark was very disloyal, stepping on the ground beneath his feet, and sank into the ground with a splash, as if falling into water.

"Original World Wall."

Chris extended both hands forward, and a half-meter-thick barrier wall appeared in front of her.

Sizzle, sizzle...

The harsh cutting sound spread, and the blade lights slashed large cracks into the barrier wall.

Crack!

A long blade pierced through the barrier wall, stopping just a few centimeters from Chris's brow.

Chris clearly saw that on the side of the long blade in front of her, the "Original World Wall" shattered like tempered glass. She had used this thing to block the Tailed Beast Bomb of the Eight-Tails.

A pair of eyes flashing with blue light met Chris's gaze. Chris gripped her hands virtually.

"Suffocation..."

Bang!

A foot kicked Chris in the lower abdomen. Her delicate body instantly formed a C-shape, and drops of blood were spat from her mouth.

Sizzle~

The subtle sound of metal wires came. Among the large pieces of barrier debris, Chris hadn't even seen the enemy's face clearly.

Must not be entangled, otherwise, she would be dead!

This thought just appeared in Chris's mind when her pupils emitted a light like emeralds. She became more beautiful, but also could be slashed on the spot at any time, because her enemy didn't care about her appearance at all. Or rather, in Su Xiao's eyes, even a stunning woman was also an enemy, an enemy that needed to be valued.

Perhaps this was also the reason why most women who survived after fighting Su Xiao were hostile to him, rather than hating or loathing him, because they could feel that in battle, Su Xiao treated them as opponents, rather than hypocritically sparing their lives while ultimately wanting to ride on them.

"Original World Synchronization!"

With Chris as the center point, an invisible fluctuation spread. Su Xiao, who was holding the long blade, suddenly slowed down and finally stopped.

By this time, Chris had time to catch her breath. She quickly scanned the surroundings. A cyan metal wire was distributed near her. Not only that, a long blade flashing with cold light, which looked like its quality was bursting, stopped in front of her neck. Even though it was still a few centimeters away, she felt a stinging pain on the skin of her neck. ===== CHAPTER 1753 =====
