Ye Tong had caught the killing just in time.

The man before him had killed someone in a single move.

He was strong.

In fact, he looked every bit as strong as Butcher.

Ambushes.

One ambush after another.

This was the first time Ye Tong had encountered such a difficult man.

At that moment, his head felt a little foggy.

Perhaps that was the other man's ability.

Ye Tong's hand trembled slightly.

He should have fired straight away, but he was afraid the man had already used his ability and a shot wouldn't kill him.

However.

What Ye Tong didn't know was that Su Chen was nervous too.

He had used up his ability. He was just an ordinary person now.

One shot really could kill him.

He had only just discovered how inept his opponent was, but he still didn't dare make any rash moves.

With a gun pointed at him, Su Chen didn't know how to break the deadlock.

There was no time for a standoff.

He could only take a gamble!

"I still have to save my teammates. I don't want to waste time on you."

"I can pretend I never saw you."

"After all, I really do hate to waste talent, and I'm betting your bullets can't hurt me."

"Put down the gun!"

Su Chen stood there and, after a moment's consideration, spoke calmly.

For an instant, he felt as though his soul had left his body.

He stood opposite Ye Tong.

His expression was cold.

He even slipped his left hand naturally into his pocket.

He was still wearing a suit.

It was the white suit he had worn out of the mall in Xintang Town.

He still had something of a presence.

After Su Chen finished speaking, Ye Tong stole a glance to the side.

Butcher was fighting and hadn't seen him.

Ye Tong slowly lowered his gun.

Once Ye Tong lowered the gun, Su Chen walked slowly past him and continued on.

After he passed, his hand trembled involuntarily.

Su Chen admitted he had put on a bit of an act.

Within five paces, even if he still had a little of the Werewolf ability left, he couldn't be sure he could dodge a bullet.

Even Huang Wei would be in trouble if he was shot in the heart or brain.

After Su Chen passed him, Ye Tong dropped straight to the ground as well.

He began playing dead.

Under these circumstances, all he could do was play dead and wait for an outcome.

Ye Tong didn't like Butcher very much.

Staying by Butcher's side meant he could face death at any moment.

Su Chen continued surveying the situation.

Huang Wei was in a truly miserable state.

White bone was already visible through his wounds.

At the same time.

Although Xiao Zixia didn't seem to be attacking Butcher, she had been taking out other people all along.

The vines on the ground actually contained toxins now.

Originally, even with Plant Manipulation, Xiao Zixia hadn't possessed toxins this potent.

But there was quite a lot of poisonous fog nearby.

Some of the plants had also been contaminated with toxins.

By acting in secret, Xiao Zixia had knocked out quite a few of Butcher's men.

However, Xiao Zixia hadn't dared attack Butcher.

He didn't look easy to deal with.

Su Chen walked up to Xiao Zixia and touched her.

He copied her ability.

"Captain!"

Xiao Zixia called out, looking a little worried as she watched the battle.

Su Chen didn't order Xiao Zixia to attack.

By the time an order was given, the situation might already have changed.

He chose to trust Xiao Zixia and let her participate as she saw fit.

At that moment, he was thinking about how to touch Butcher.

Butcher's Sequence ability was truly powerful.

With the Pig-Killing Knife and his Sequence ability, he could deliver a killing move.

Bang!

Before Su Chen could work things out, he saw Huang Wei get kicked away.

Huang Wei lifted his hand a little, seemingly unable to get up anymore.

This time, he might really have reached his limit.

After dealing with the Werewolf before him, Butcher began looking around.

All my men are down?

Butcher immediately frowned, his gaze settling on the man and woman still standing.

At once, Su Chen felt as though a wolf had fixed its eyes on him.

What do I do?

Su Chen hadn't copied the ability yet. He truly didn't know what to do.

"Su Chen!"

"Just give up!"

Looking at Huang Wei, Su Chen shouted.

Xiao Zixia froze for a moment when she heard Su Chen's words.

"I surrender. I'm not following Su Chen anymore."

"This is an Anomalous Object. I'll offer it to you. Please spare my life."

Holding the Pig-Killing Knife up in both hands, Su Chen gradually approached Butcher.

He didn't want to gamble!

But under these circumstances, he had no choice.

Su Chen was betting that Butcher didn't know the exact details of his group's members.

No matter how they had been described, there would always be some discrepancy before meeting them in person.

Su Chen?

So that one was Su Chen?

Butcher turned to look at the figure who could no longer get up, unable to resist taking another couple of looks.

He hadn't expected his guess to be wrong.

"What's your name?"

Butcher looked at the Pig-Killing Knife before him, quite satisfied.

His dagger was only an ordinary blade.

If he had an Anomalous Object, it could greatly increase his strength.

Su Chen continued walking with his head lowered, and his hand touched Butcher, seemingly because he hadn't been watching where he was going.

After touching him, he bent his knees as if by reflex.

As though he was about to kneel.

At that moment, Su Chen struck instantly.

-Butchering the Ox!

Su Chen saw Butcher's legs before him visibly shatter.

Butcher wore armor over his upper body, making it genuinely difficult to attack. His legs were the only place Su Chen could strike.

Butcher hadn't expected the man before him, who was about to surrender, to suddenly attack.

He was already used to people kneeling before him.

Not to mention.

Su Chen, the captain of the other convoy, could no longer stand.

Victory was certain!

Butcher raised his hand, wanting to execute the bastard before him.

But.

With both legs gone, his whole body began toppling backward.

Butcher's attack ended up aimed at the air.

Su Chen instinctively rolled away as well.

He really only had one move!

At that instant, Xiao Zixia also placed her hand on the ground.

All the vines coiled toward Butcher's head.

This was to disrupt Butcher.

Yet they still faced the most serious problem: there was no one to finish him off.

Huang Wei really was about to bleed out. He only had a breath left because he was a Werewolf.

Xiao Zixia simply didn't have the ability to finish the kill.

Who else was there?

For an ordinary person, approaching a Sequence was courting death.

Rustle, rustle, rustle...

Suddenly, Su Chen heard the sound of a small animal moving across the road.

A metal ball actually rolled past before him.

The metal ball shook its body, and eight sharp claws sprouted from it.

The Metal Insect leaped up and pierced Butcher's skull.

At once, blood poured from all seven openings in Butcher's head.

Sharp claws had pierced his eyes, nose, and ears.

"Brother!"

Seeing that Butcher was completely dead, Su Chen finally breathed a full sigh of relief.

Thump, thump, thump!

In an instant, his heart resumed beating.

He admitted his heart had nearly stopped just now.

"Brother!"

As Su Chen braced himself against the ground to get up, he saw a wheelchair at the end of the road.

The Metal Insect turned back into a ball and bounced into Su Xi's arms.

The wind blew gently.

Su Xi's lower legs had long since disappeared.

There was nothing there anymore!

Braced against the ground, Su Chen stared blankly toward Su Xi. His eyes closed involuntarily, and tears slipped from their corners.
