A familiar giant ape
Badun may seem domineering, but his opponent is extremely cautious.
Without sufficient advantage, Badun would not rashly charge, which is why he preferred to fight Zhang Xuezhou rather than engage in a direct confrontation with Ren Yisheng.
Whether it was Zhou Xin or Changkong Luo and the others, after decades of contact, they all knew each other's backgrounds. No matter how much Badun caused trouble, he knew he wouldn't suffer any losses.
But Ren Yisheng appeared out of nowhere.
Without any impressive battle record or a dominant fighting style, the opponent has brazenly gained a relatively dominant position in the Scarlet Alliance State.
This is an extremely high-risk opponent. No one knows what Ren Yisheng's trump cards are, and no one is willing to clash with a top-tier master whose background is unknown.
Badun, holding a long stick, watched cautiously as Ren Yisheng, dressed in a windproof suit, slowly approached, a hint of regret already creeping into his heart.
Ren Yisheng's style of doing things is very shrewd; he pressed on relentlessly, leaving him no room to retaliate.
Just like the madness at the Alliance Island meeting, it's either compromise or a complete breakdown, or even negative consequences—that's Ren Yisheng's style.
This is true when utilizing those in Sequence Holder twilight years, and it is also true for Ren Yisheng, meaning "A Lifetime") when dealing with himself.
Badun thought Ren Yisheng was a madman.
He could already foresee the trouble this kind of opponent would cause in a confrontation.
"You killed my beast, and now you want to kill me?" Badun said, slowly backing away.
"You treated Zhou Xin, Changkong Luo, and others the same way before, so it's normal for me to take advantage of your weakened state!"
Ren Yisheng reached out and pressed down, causing Badun, fifty meters away, to get goosebumps and roll and turn repeatedly.
It is no different from psychological intimidation. Ren Yisheng's blows make no noise or leave no trace. Only upon impact do they spin and cut like a sharp blade.
Aside from flaws in the distance of his strikes, Badun couldn't find any other deficiency in Ren Yisheng's control.
Shattering a truck's windshield is nothing special, but casually slicing through the steel plate separating the cab and piercing the beast's body with such power that Badun had no intention of conducting a close-range test.
He is not afraid of sharp, large-area cuts; what he fears are penetrating blows that penetrate small areas.
The resistance layer is not Zhou Xin's Black Armor Combat Technique, and Badun does not have a direct confrontation fighting style.
He tumbled and leaped, the metal rod in his hand swinging out unintentionally.
Although it is called a stick, this metal stick is not a complete stick; the complexity of genetically engineered weapons also determines its variability.
An alloy wire flew out like a fishing rod, and Ren Yisheng's body was immediately enveloped in a burst of blue light, his hands and feet instantly becoming thicker and stronger.
"Is that all you've got, just a piece of alloy wire?"
A blue light rippled around Ren Yisheng.
The existence of the resistance layer provides a margin of error, preventing him from being a mental deterrent Sequence Holder who would be easily defeated.
The wind and waves guided by spiritual power swept over his body, and the alloy wires binding and cutting were instantly slicing into countless pieces.
"You have short legs, I have long legs. You can run, but I have a single-unit flying vehicle to chase you. As long as you don't return to Qinmeng, I'll catch you no matter what!"
Ren Yisheng gestured with his fingers, effectively silencing Badun's original words.
Damn it!
Whether by chance or deliberate preparation, Ren Yisheng and the others did not have any metal on them. Even the buttons on their clothes were made of plastic, and they did not have any genetically engineered weapons made of metal.
They have always relied on controlling metal to fight enemies. Even if they cannot defeat their opponents, they can destroy their genetic weapons, thus becoming the most hated high- Sequence Holder among their opponents.
Badun has never been in such an awkward position.
This was probably the type of opponent he least wanted to face, and it was also the first time he had ever met someone as unprepared and capable as Ren Yisheng in Qin Mengjian.
Although Ren Yisheng never completely defeated him, Badun was utterly unable to control this type of Sequence Holder.
Moreover, Ren Yisheng is in great danger. If he is careless in any way, he will be entangled and cut by those unseen and intangible energies.
Badun cursed, watching Ren Yisheng approach step by step, clearly aware that the other was now imitating his past behavior of endless harassment.
"I'm going back to my country to rest!"
Badun retreated step by step until the distance between them was about 100 meters, then he turned around and sprinted away.
"Ren Yisheng, don't get cocky. Maybe I'll catch you next time!"
As he ran away, Badun didn't forget to utter a threat.
His threat elicited a shrug from Ren Yisheng.
"Don't talk nonsense before you leave Qin Meng. Hurry up, I've taken the giant ape's corpse and will be there soon!"
"You wait!"
Badun, traveling alone, clearly suffered a silent loss.
If Badun had Clark, Steelham, or other skilled shooters by his side, things would be much better. Even having just one long-range shooter would put Ren Yisheng at a disadvantage.
After uttering several harsh words, Badun looked around, glancing at the two-wheeled vehicle driven by Ren Yisheng, before speeding away.
"I feel like there's no difference between working at the top level and being a petty thug!"
High in the air, Zhang Xuezhou's body plummeted like a meteor, and upon landing, he couldn't help but complain.
"In a place without rules, only the law of the jungle prevails, and this kind of behavior is very similar to the bullying of the weak by petty thugs!"
As Badun drove away, Ren Yisheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
He withdrew the power of the mental storm, only to feel a slight dizziness and blackening in his head.
After taking several deep breaths to calm himself down, Ren Yisheng finally responded to Zhang Xuezhou.
"It's outrageous for the top management to do this," Zhang Xuezhou said.
"If you step into the Eighth Sequence or Ninth Sequence, your word becomes the rule, and you can be as civilized as you want," Ren Yisheng laughed. "Anyway, I'm currently acting in accordance with the Qin-Mongol rules set by Badun, Zhou Xin, Grenas, and others, following their instructions in everything!"
"Wouldn't this be considered Badun's own doing?"
"I guess so, but these kinds of rules aren't entirely bad!"
How so?
"If a weaker group infiltrates your battle with a ferocious beast, and they use the principle that Sequence Holder different nations must not harm each other to seize the beast, or treaties such as peace treaties to bind you, ultimately relying on their numerical advantage to keep you at bay and forcibly lock the beast away, what would you do?"
"It seems this has happened before!"
"There have been too many outrageous things in the past; every unreliable rule leads to an outrageous case!"
Ren Yisheng jumped into the truck's control cab and steered the out-of-control truck, while Zhang Xuezhou crawled into the truck's back.
He removed the device that was stunning the beast, and the truck immediately stabilized, its speed increasing significantly, no longer swaying and moving slowly as before.
"This giant ape-like beast looks familiar. Hey, aren't you one of Tiger Hao's men?"
Zhang Xuezhou used the lights in the truck to examine the beast's wounds.
Ren Yisheng inflicted numerous and widespread wounds, resulting in a terrifyingly profuse flow that turned the giant ape beast red. However, many of these wounds did not target vital organs or other critical parts. After releasing two consecutive Supreme Purity True Technique, the giant ape beast's external injuries were barely stitched up.
Zhang Xuezhou looked at the ferocious beast curled up in the alloy cage and felt that the beast's face was somewhat familiar.
However, he genuinely lacked the ability to distinguish animal faces, and since there was no human voice responding to the giant ape's continuous groans, he couldn't be completely certain for the time being.
