A Chance Encounter with the Black Rose Squad

Several dozen kilometers away from Li Xin:

Most of the protective suits worn by the Black Rose Squad's seven female warriors had been torn open, and every one of them was bloodied. They were fleeing for their lives.

Their torn suits laid their perfectly sculpted curves bare.

"Damn the Tiger Shark Squad! They ambushed us!"

"Look, the monsters up ahead are surging! There might be a Beast Tide, and it's heading in the opposite direction from us."

"We're all injured, and the Tiger Shark Squad is hunting us down. Our only choice is to charge toward the Beast Tide and use it to force them back."

"Then let's go, sisters. Our chances of surviving this are slim, but I hope at least one of us makes it out and brings word back to our captain so she can avenge us!"

Though all seven members of the Black Rose Squad were women, their resolve and decisiveness were no less than any man's!

Had Li Xin been there, he would have discovered that he knew one of the seven members of the Black Rose Squad: Chu Hanling, a former classmate from university.

"Captain, the Black Rose Squad is charging toward the Beast Tide. They're practically committing suicide! Now we won't even have to lift a finger. They're as good as dead!"

Liu Wuwu sneered when he saw what the Black Rose Squad was doing.

"Keep chasing them. We absolutely cannot let a single member of the Black Rose Squad survive. Even if we can't kill them ourselves, we have to see every last one of them die!"

Wang Lichuan, captain of the Tiger Shark Squad, gritted his teeth and decided to lead his team onward.

"But Captain, that's a Beast Tide! Judging by its size, even a War God Level expert could die in it!"

"The Beast Tide isn't heading toward us right now. If we charge over there after the Black Rose Squad, we might draw it toward us. Then we'll all die!"

Liu Wuwu immediately objected to his captain's order. He would not risk provoking a Beast Tide for a reason like this.

"Do you think I want to? Think about it. If even one member of the Black Rose Squad survives and reports what happened, we'll incur the wrath of that newly ascended War God, Black Rose."

"Do I really need to explain what happens when a War God sets their sights on you?"

Wang Lichuan looked gravely at the six team members behind him.

The others, Liu Wuwu included, fell silent at his words.

Before attacking, they had already decided that every member of the Black Rose Squad had to die. Otherwise, they would be the ones to die in the end.

"But you don't need to worry. As long as we don't draw the Beast Tide's attention, we still have a good chance of surviving."

"Now, move out!"

With that, Wang Lichuan led his squad after the Black Rose Squad once more.

"Captain, look! There are intense combat shock waves up ahead. Maybe a War God is fighting the Beast Tide. We still have a chance to survive!"

"Why did the combat shock waves stop? Did the Beast Tide kill the War God?"

"No, the Beast Tide has broken apart! The monsters are scattering, and a lot of them are heading our way."

As the Black Rose Squad approached the Beast Tide, they had expected a fight. Instead, the monsters were fleeing in such haste that they paid the women no attention at all, racing straight past them.

Then they saw an off-road vehicle loaded with all kinds of monster materials speeding toward them.

There was no driver inside, and its wheels weren't touching the ground.

Most striking of all, a young man sat on the hood, with seven Blood Shadow Battle Swords floating behind him. He radiated a keen, intimidating edge.

"A Psychic!"

At the sight, the Black Rose Squad immediately realized they had encountered a Psychic—and an incredibly powerful one at that. Otherwise, he could never have scattered the Beast Tide.

"Ha ha ha ha ha! Black Rose Squad, let's see where you run now!"

Just then, the members of the Tiger Shark Squad caught up.

"Sir, we're members of the Black Rose Squad from the Tianjin District. The Tiger Shark Squad ambushed us, and our lives are in danger. Please save us!"

"Our Black Rose Squad has the backing of a War God Level expert. Once we return to the city, we'll make sure you're generously rewarded."

Du Zhiqiao, captain of the Black Rose Squad, hurried forward to plead for help from Li Xin, whom she had never met before.

The Black Rose Squad had exhausted its ammunition and supplies, and every member was injured. They were no match for the Tiger Shark Squad. Li Xin was their only lifeline.

"Please don't believe the Black Rose Squad's lies, sir. There's a blood feud between them and our Tiger Shark Squad. They killed more than a dozen of our members. We're only here to avenge them."

Wang Lichuan, captain of the Tiger Shark Squad, had also noticed Li Xin by then, so he hurried forward to try to keep him from interfering.

The man before them was clearly an incredibly powerful Psychic. If he intervened, the Tiger Shark Squad might be in serious trouble.

"Are you... Li Xin?"

At that moment, Chu Hanling stepped out of the Black Rose Squad and approached Li Xin in disbelief. As far as she knew, after being recruited by the Extreme Martial Hall, Li Xin should have gone to the Extreme Martial Hall Headquarters for training. Why was he here?

Yet the face before her was so familiar that she wanted to believe she had recognized him correctly.

"Chu Hanling, long time no see."

Li Xin smiled faintly. He had actually run into someone he knew out here in the middle of nowhere.

"Li Xin, it really is you!"

When Li Xin spoke, Chu Hanling ran toward him in delight, only to stop short a moment later. The invisible killing aura around him made her afraid to get too close.

"Let's go!"

Seeing that Li Xin knew someone in the Black Rose Squad, Wang Lichuan's expression darkened. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and fled with his team.

All the members of the Tiger Shark Squad were War General Level warriors. Unless a Psychic was a fool, they had no way of killing one. Their only option now was to abandon their pursuit of the Black Rose Squad and reconsider their plans.

"Did I say you could leave?"

The Tiger Shark Squad wanted to leave, but Li Xin had no intention of letting them go. He had spotted Liu Wuwu of the Liu Family among them.

He had never forgotten that the Liu Family had hired people to kill him. In the city, killing someone would have been difficult, but this was the lawless Wilderness Zone. Here, he had no such concerns.
