I've Never Seen Anyone So Shameless

Siegfried drew his Holy Light Sword and sneered at Ren, "Boy, let's see just how strong you really are."

Ren nodded. "Please show mercy, senior."

As he spoke, Ren pulled a rocket launcher from his storage space and aimed the muzzle at Siegfried.

Siegfried: "?"

Other members of the Hero Faction: "?"

This competition seems a bit different from what they imagined.

If that thing hit you, wouldn't you get covered in bruises and welts?

However, Ren didn't give anyone else a chance to react, aiming directly at Siegfried and pulling the trigger.

The rocket was launched from the barrel instantly; the only stable discarding sabot armor-piercing round, trailing a plume of flame, hurtled toward Siegfried.

Faced with Ren's lack of martial ethics, Siegfried reacted quickly, immediately swinging his Holy Light Sword at the warhead, instantly splitting the alloy warhead in two, although the shells that flew to both sides still exploded.

The rest of the Hero Faction members dodged in time, but before the cannonballs exploded, Georg waved his staff to create a defensive barrier.

After the explosion subsided, everyone was safe and sound.

Although no one was injured, they were still wary of Ren's fighting style.

If a battle breaks out in the future, wouldn't it be easy to accidentally injure friendly forces?

When the smoke cleared, Siegfried was also unharmed, except that his exorcist's silver uniform was covered in dust.

He glanced at Ren and sneered, "This kind of weapon is useless against me."

Immediately afterwards, Siegfried's body surged forward, his legs pushing off the ground with incredible speed, and the Holy Light Sword in his hand became a blur in the eyes of others.

The other members of the Hero Faction showed expressions of amazement.

"As expected of Lieutenant Siegfried, the Church's strongest exorcist, hailed as the Demon Emperor, I wouldn't even last a single round against him."

"Lieutenant Siegfried hasn't even used his true abilities yet. He's using the most ordinary Holy Light Sword, not his signature magic sword, Gram."

"Even so, the newcomer must be under a lot of pressure. It seems we have no choice but to use the Longinus."

"..."

Listening to the comments of her companions, Jeanne of Arc felt a little anxious.

Although she fought alongside Ren, Siegfried was no less powerful; in terms of close combat alone, he was second only to Cao Cao.

I wonder if Ren can handle it.

Although the Longinus still exists, once it's used, it's clear that Ren will lose this match.

On the other side, Ren also saw Siegfried's movements. What seemed like a blur to others was no different from normal speed to him.

Siegfried's strengths were not speed, but close-combat skills and extensive combat experience.

The bullets that Ren fired after activating his Gun Fu were all deflected by Siegfried's sharp blade. Moreover, Siegfried's fighting style was somewhat like that of an old coin; once he missed his target, he would never be greedy and would immediately retreat away from his original position, not intending to give Ren any chance to retaliate.

Since that's the case, we'll have to open it only a small time.

--Clock Up.

Accompanied by electronic sound effects that appeared out of thin air, Ren's figure vanished from his spot in an instant.

At this moment, Ren' entire being lacked any skill; it was all about the aesthetics of numerical values.

In Ren Super Acceleration state, the world seemed to be slowed down hundreds of times. At this moment, he could even count the number of nose hairs sticking out of Siegfried's nostrils.

Siegfried was also taken aback by Ren's sudden disappearance.

However, this feeling only lasted for a moment.

The intelligence sent back by Jeanne indicated that Ren possessed a special speed-boosting technique, and now it seems that it is indeed extraordinary.

"I'm not afraid of anything as long as it's fast!"

Siegfried snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and focused on sensing Ren's presence.

"Hmph! Here I am!"

Siegfried suddenly swung his sword down to his right.

You hit the target!

Wrong!

Although he did feel some resistance, it wasn't the usual sensation of flesh being cut into. At that moment, Ren, in the Super Acceleration field, used two fingers to catch the Holy Light Sword that Siegfried was slashing down, while his other hand shot out like lightning and pressed down on the other's shoulder.

"Got you!"

"..."

Siegfried's body stiffened abruptly, feeling as if he were being grabbed, but he still couldn't see Ren.

He instinctively tried to pull away, but was shocked to find his body being held down by a tremendous force.

Ren then deactivated his Super Acceleration state, allowing himself to reappear in the sight of the others.

You lost.

Ren chuckled softly as he spoke.

However, how could Siegfried, whose blood was rushing to his head, possibly withstand such a thing?

"Don't think you've won just because you caught me!"

Siegfried instinctively struggled again, but still found that the Holy Light Sword remained unmoved.

How could this guy be so strong?!

If his sword is grabbed, he will be completely unable to use his superb fighting skills!

However, Siegfried was clearly unwilling to be defeated by a newcomer in front of everyone. His expression hardened, and he reached out with his free left hand to draw his second magic sword to fight.

Although this might seem like an unfair victory, Siegfried certainly wanted to win more than to lose.

Otherwise, where would he, as the vice-captain, put his face?!

Then he fell into a deep, baby-like sleep.

Siegfried was already at close range, still wanted to resist, but at this distance, Ren didn't need to make any extra movements. He could simply pick Siegfried up and throw him to the ground.

The pressure was just right; it won't make you faint or hurt your brain.

After Siegfried fainted, the surrounding barrier was dispelled by Georg.

Cao Cao clapped as he approached, a smile of appreciation on his face. "Your speed is indeed very fast, and your strength is also quite good. I didn't expect you to be able to defeat Siegfried so easily."

At this moment, Siegfried also woke up, his face filled with resentment, and said, "Cao Cao, I didn't lose. I didn't even use a third of my strength."

"I haven't used my demonic sword, my Sacred Gear, or my Balance Breaker."

Although it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Siegfried is looking for trouble, that statement isn't entirely wrong.

Siegfried was called the Demon Emperor because he was the world's strongest user of the Demon Sword.

In addition, his Sacred Gear is the Variant Dragon Hand, which he has developed to a Balance Breaker state, unleashing several times its power once used.

I was just stunned by Ren' speed attack, purely because I didn't react in time and underestimated him.

If they played another match, he might not necessarily lose!

Faced with someone who was still stubborn after losing, Ren showed a surprised expression and said, "What a coincidence, but I only used one percent of my strength just now."

Siegfried: "..."

"Alright, we're all members of the Hero Faction. There's no need to fight to the bitter end. Our enemies are those high and mighty Asuras and Buddhas."

Cao Cao stepped in to smooth things over.

"Ren, you have proven your strength to us. In that case, I have a task for you."

Chapter 209 I have never seen such a shameless person.

Chapter 209

Cao Cao looked at Ren and said in a deep voice, "We previously received a commission from a very important person. He needs the current chief general of the Kyoto Youkai World to conduct a special experiment. We have already investigated the chief general's activity patterns. Every night, she rides a sedan chair back to her palace in the dead of night. We will ambush her on her usual route and capture her."

"Ren, how about I leave this mission to you? We happen to have other things to prepare."

As he spoke, Cao Cao nodded to Georg, who then used his staff to make a circle in the air, and a semi-transparent screen appeared, displaying a blonde, fair-skinned woman.

"This woman is the Nine-Tails, the current supreme commander of the Kyoto Youkai World. Your mission is to capture her and rejoin us."

"The Nine-Tails?"

Ren recalled that among the souls he had devoured with the Longinus was the Jade-Faced Golden-Furred Nine-Tailed Fox, Tamamo-no-Mae.

However, Tamamo-no-Mae is probably not the same kind of woman as the one in front of her.

Tamamo-no-Mae is now nothing but a fragmented soul, while the Nine-Tails before her is named Yasaka. She is a beautiful blonde woman with exquisite features, wearing a traditional and ancient twelve-layered kimono that accentuates her curves.

But apart from that, the most eye-catching thing is the two full-bodied Mount Fuji, even though they are covered by clothing.

As expected of a fox demon.

Both in terms of her shapely curves and size, she was comparable to Gabriel, who was currently ranked first in his heart, among all the women Ren had ever seen—both white and large.

That's not evil, it's clearly the human heart!

Fortunately, Ren was wearing sunglasses at the moment; otherwise, if someone noticed he had a scope, wouldn't he be instantly killed?

Moreover, apart from him, all the Hero Faction men present, including Cao Cao, kept their eyes fixed on Yasaka's face, their expressions a mixture of anticipation and trepidation.

Ren was quite surprised.

It's one thing for everyone else, but what's wrong with you, Boss Cao? Aren't you supposed to be a huge fan of married women?

I don't know if Yasaka has ever been married, but she has at least had children. Are you really not interested in that?

Sure enough, this guy wasn't the real Cao Cao at all!

Cao Cao has issued you a new mission.

[Mission: Kidnap Yasaka, the Supreme Commander of the Yokai World Realm]

[Objective: Kidnap Yasaka and hand him over to Cao Cao or Georg.]

[Reward: Hero Faction Reputation +30, Random Reward *1]

According to the information, Yasaka is always accompanied by a team of guards when he goes out, but they are not very strong. However, it is still necessary to capture them as soon as possible, otherwise it will attract other monsters from the Yokai World and make it difficult to escape.

"This mission is very important, so you and Jeanne will lead the team together."

Cao Cao entrusted Ren with an important task.

"You also want your power to have a practical use, don't you? In that case, then use it for me to defeat these enemies of humanity. In this way, the future of humanity will be in our hands."

These words stirred the blood of many members of the Hero Faction.

Many people had burning ambition in their eyes, eager to go out and make a name for themselves.

Ren chuckled inwardly.

If he hadn't been unaware of the plot, he could easily have been fooled by Cao Cao, that hypocritical fellow.

What about defeating Asuras and Buddhas for the future of humanity?

As far as he knew, the mission to kidnap Yasaka was personally ordered by Hades, the God of the Underworld.

He only wanted to use Yasaka, who was the "Dragon King," and Kyoto, the place where large-scale spells were performed, as a base to open a dimensional rift and conduct an experiment to summon the Great Red.

"That's possible, but I'd like to ask, who assigned us to kidnap the Commander-in-Chief? And why did we accept this mission?"

Ren feigned ignorance and asked.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao chuckled and said, "I'll keep the identity of the sponsor a secret, as it's their request. As for why we accepted the mission, it's because the sponsor promised to provide us with ample funds. After all, as you know, in any era, an army cannot survive without supplies."

This statement was shared by others, including Jeanne of Arc herself.

After all, there's no reason to complain.

The Hero Faction operated in the same way before she met Ren.

The reason why the Hero Faction was able to maintain and grow stronger was because Cao Cao frequently received tasks from sponsors to obtain financial support.
