Chapter 968: Billy the Kid

Li Yue's comfort brought a touch of rosy color to Lu Huang's face.

He coldly turned his head away to avoid letting others see his expression.

Lu Huang said, "I know that even without your reminder!"

He secretly clenched his fist.

But at this moment, the desire for slaughter within him was surging.

The most dangerous existence in this investigation team had been unable to suppress his inner wildness since the moment he set foot on the island.

Other superhumans from the two major districts also received the news.

But without exception, they were all happy and greatly encouraged by Zhang Yi's achievement of killing Boon.

The Ironblood Squad was currently moving through a thick toxic miasma fog in Makipo City.

Captain Lilong was always completely wrapped up, with even his face firmly covered by a mask, not a single patch of skin visible.

He had just learned the news of Zhang Yi killing Boon, his dry throat emitting a hoarse sound.

"He's really a surprising guy."

He adjusted his white gloves and said calmly, "However, our mission isn't slaughter, but finding the Divine Source."

"If we can avoid battles, we should try our best to do so."

"Because in the coming time, battles will become increasingly frequent. Only those who successfully survive to the end will have the qualification to participate in the competition for the Divine Source."

The team members behind him were similarly completely wrapped in dark green combat suits, with even the style of their head coverings closely resembling old-fashioned gas masks.

Zhang Yi attracting the attention of the joint forces on the periphery had created favorable conditions for them. The most update n0vels are published on novel⁂fire.net

Lilong led his team members, unhurriedly following the marks left by the reconnaissance unit.

But suddenly, Lilong's combat suit received an audio signal.

That was the sound of leather boots stepping on snow.

Lilong raised a hand, and all the superhuman team members stopped in a well-trained manner, then quickly deployed into formation.

Gunners raised their weapons aiming forward, while several burly enhancement-type empowered individuals stood in front of the team.

Lilong himself walked at the very front of the formation, his hands suddenly swinging out to both sides, revealing ten metal blades like claws and fangs from his combat suit!

All were weapons made of Adamantine Metal, which could even penetrate diamond.

Just from his weapons alone, one could tell this was an extremely dangerous close-quarters combat expert.

The toxic miasma slowly parted, and a Western man with a peculiar appearance walked out, appearing before the Ironblood Squad.

The reason he was described as having a peculiar appearance was because the style of his combat suit was very novel.

It was that retro Western cowboy style, with a large felt hat on his head and calfskin boots on his feet.

Two revolvers at his waist, one gold and one silver, both decorated with elegant golden gorse patterns.

"It seems I've found prey too."

The man's lips curved into a smile.

Since it was confirmed they weren't allies, they were enemies.

The Ironblood Squad members didn't hesitate in the slightest before launching their attack.

Lilong's [Ten Claws] opened with a "clang," crimson blood energy beginning to boil around him.

However, even though they attacked first.

Before they could even make their move, the world before them underwent a strange transformation.

Streaks of white light passed through the space before their eyes, as if dividing space into countless pieces.

Time seemed to slow down, as if an entire century had passed.

And the scene before each Ironblood Squad member was changing.

In their daze, they seemed to leave this toxic miasma-covered area, returning to their hometowns, seeing their childhoods and various past events.

Only Lilong, at the critical moment, dodged the fatal attack.

Yet in an instant, all his team members around him had their heads pierced through by that white light.

The reason they felt time slowing down was simply because they were dying.

Lilong's pupils sharply contracted; in his entire life, he had never encountered such a terrifying opponent.

From beginning to end, he hadn't even seen how the enemy before him had made his move, yet his team members were already dead.

But now, he had no time to think about that.

Because although he had dodged the bullet aimed at his forehead, his shoulder was still heavily hit.

That shot pierced through his combat suit, shattered his shoulder, sending metal components scattering through the air in disarray.

The cowboy still hadn't reached for his guns.

Or perhaps he had already drawn them, but his speed was simply too fast, so fast that these superhumans couldn't perceive him firing at all.

Nor could they perceive that they were already dead.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Bullets cut through space, emitting sharp yet faint whistles; when facing life and death, the world before one's eyes becomes blurred and slow.

Lilong's body was pierced by three bullets, his arm, right chest, and waist simultaneously hit.

But what flew out were all mechanical components.

Lilong's body underwent a violent explosion, his head flying high from his neck, then using the force of this explosion to quickly flee into the distance.

The cowboy looked somewhat surprised at the half-corpse remnant left before him: "An artificial human? How very cyberpunk!"

A leisurely smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

But deep within that remnant, a red light was flashing frantically.

Soon after, the entire area was enveloped in dazzling white light, the shockwave from the violent explosion destroying everything within several kilometers!

Captain-level superhumans all carried such mutually assured destruction self-destruct devices.

Lilong, as an artificial human, had his bomb inside his body.

This move was his final trump card.

But after using it, he didn't pause for even a moment, instead quickly running into the distance.

Because he could sense that the superhuman he had encountered was terrifyingly powerful!

Just one encounter had left him completely unable to fight back.

Lilong never could have imagined his luck would be so bad.

The first enemy he encountered was actually the deputy captain of Hell's Lock, [Billy the Kid] Yasin Canero.

"I must escape, encountering such a monster, there's absolutely no possibility of winning!"

Before absolute strength, even his proud tactics had completely lost their effectiveness.

The other party had destroyed the entire Ironblood Squad with just one move. How was he supposed to fight someone like that?

But the next moment, a bullet shot from a distant place, piercing through Lilong's head.

Lilong's head was pierced through front to back, the most important part of his body now destroyed as well.

In his final moments before death, a kaleidoscope of lights flashed in Lilong's eyes.

He transmitted everything that had happened today to the command center.

Soon after, the cowboy walked over, reached out and picked up his head.

After just one look, he disappointedly threw it on the ground.

The head was completely destroyed, the origin dissipated, already useless.
