Chapter 130 – An the Ruthless

But then, something completely unexpected happened.

The bone ball, which had just barely landed on the ground, suddenly exploded.

Boom—

A powerful impact force swept outwards instantly, shaking the earth and sending debris flying. A crater over ten meters wide was left on the ground.

And An, at the moment of the explosion, was swept far away by the powerful impact force and thrown to the ground.

He had revealed his form by now. His clothes were tattered, and he was bleeding profusely from various parts of his body. After getting up, he vomited two large mouthfuls of blood.

Su Hao, having readjusted his flight state, exclaimed in surprise, “He’s still alive? A Level 4 Evolved Human’s physique is indeed powerful! Even three ‘Twenty-Burst’ grenades couldn’t kill the Thread Demon in one go.”

After getting up, An looked at his hands, his mind completely blank: “Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?”

It took him a while to snap out of it and remember everything that had just happened.

When he looked at the Bone Demon flying at high speed in the sky again, his eyes held undisguised fear.

His mind raced: “This is bad. The opponent is flying too high; my ‘Sky Walking’ can’t reach them. I don’t know if they can launch similar attacks, and if they can, it’s not good! I need to find a way to create an opportunity to attack!”

An gripped his twin blades tightly, not daring to let go even when violently blown away, because he knew these two blades were his last hope, even though they were already chipped.

“Run!” In the next second, An unhesitatingly entered Invisibility state again and sprinted into the distance, disappearing instantly.

Su Hao adjusted his direction and burst forward, chasing after An.

“One more shot, still a ‘Fifty-Blast’.”

He could create a higher ‘Hundred Burst’, but the ‘Hundred Burst’ was too large and required changing the cannon barrel, which Su Hao didn’t want to bother with.

If one shot doesn’t work, try another; three or four shots, and one will eventually succeed!

Besides, he could also collect landing data and test the cannon’s performance.

Soon, Su Hao’s cannonball was ready, and he loaded it into the cannon barrel.

The cannon was great in all aspects, except its cooling time was a bit long.

Aim!

Fire!

Boom!

Cannonball fired!

An was already prepared. He pushed off with his sturdy thighs, forcefully dodging to the side, trying to get as far away as possible, roaring in helpless anger, “How is there still another one?!”

The cannonball exploded two meters away from An. The moment it detonated, he curled his entire body up, using his back to meet the impact of the explosion.

Boom—

The violent explosion roared to the heavens, scattering grass and stones. An was also blown to the side, rolling helplessly on the ground, colliding and finally crashing into a large rock, coming to a halt.

Pfft!

An suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to stand up, swaying unsteadily. The next moment, he face-planted onto the ground, no longer moving.

Su Hao raised an eyebrow. “He’s dead already?”

His expression instantly turned playful. An’s Blood Qi intensity had indeed decreased, but he still showed no signs of losing consciousness or dying. “Could he be faking? Trying to lure me down and then counterattack?”

But it didn’t matter. Su Hao had plenty of cannonballs; he could conjure one up casually.

Su Hao flew up again, a cannonball gradually forming in his hand. His idea was simple: it didn’t matter if he was faking or not. A few more cannonballs would ensure he wouldn’t need to fake it anymore!

One minute later, Su Hao swooped down again, lowering his altitude. The muzzle of the Black Hole cannon was aimed at the An lying on the ground.

An could no longer lie down.

An’s chest felt suffocated. This was the most frustrating battle he had ever experienced. He was utterly unable to use his strength, couldn’t run away, couldn’t fight back, and his invisibility was discovered. He was about to curse!

But his usual composure made him hold back.

He immediately jumped up and ran, invisible.

The moment he fled, a cannonball exploded violently where he had been lying. He was once again blown away, his injuries worsening. He knew he couldn’t take many more hits.

An’s clothes had been blown to shreds, leaving only a pair of briefs stubbornly clinging to their post, saving him the embarrassment of walking around naked.

After firing a shot, Su Hao, satisfied, ascended again, preparing the fourth cannonball.

And An…

An’s mind was shattered.

He barely maintained his sanity and reviewed the previous events, trying to figure out where things had gone wrong.

“First, my escape speed has no advantage; I can’t run away. Second, the opponent is very cautious, and I can’t attack them. Finally, invisibility is useless; I can’t shake off the opponent. In other words, my only way to survive is to figure out how the opponent is positioning me, then eliminate it, and use invisibility to evade their tracking.”

An took a deep breath. With his objectives clear, he immediately took action.

Based on the pattern, there was a short period before the next explosion.

An immediately turned, ran to a small pool, then plunged in. He didn’t care if he had wounds, he vigorously scrubbed his entire body with water.

Su Hao flew in the sky, looking at An, who was still in the mood to wash himself, with surprise and a head full of confusion. “Do you want to look more presentable before you die?”

However, Su Hao did not hesitate in the slightest due to his surprise. After reaching a suitable distance, he raised his cannon barrel and aimed.

An immediately jumped up and escaped while invisible.

Su Hao pursued and fired a shot.

Boom—

An was sent flying again. This time, he just lay on the ground, not rushing to get up. He was truly out of strength and needed to recover.

“Washing didn’t work, something must have trapped me. Or it’s hidden somewhere!”

So An picked up his Short Blade again and started scraping at his head, this time shaving his hair. He thought something might be hidden in his hair.

Su Hao watched, even more puzzled. “Why are you cutting your hair again? Your hairstyle was fine and presentable, why shave your head? Is there some special custom?”

Puzzled, Su Hao stepped forward and fired another shot.

Boom—

An was blown away again. His breathing was like a bellows, his chest heaving at high frequency. He felt like he was on the verge of death.

An understood that he only had one last chance, because the next time, he wouldn’t be able to dodge.

He didn’t get up. With a calm expression, he drew his Long Blade and made a shallow cut from his neck down his chest to his stomach, spilling blood.

Then he made another cut from his upper thigh down to his foot, followed by his arm…

Then, something chilling happened.

An began to peel his own skin!

Five hundred words omitted here.

Indescribable!

A moment later, An, with his exposed flesh and dripping blood, slowly turned invisible and left the Yuan area at extreme speed.

This was An’s last struggle, to survive!

If…

For An, there was no “if”!

The word “if” was meaningless. He had done all he could; now he could only await fate’s judgment.

He understood that whether he saved FordeHarmony or not, the outcome would be the same.

The moment he stepped into this city with his three subordinates, the outcome had already been decided.

And as the team Leader, he made a wrong decision – taking Forde back to Silin City to hunt the [Bone Demon]!

Su Hao, flying in the sky, gasped the entire way.

This An is a true Wolfman!

Then fire another shot at An!

Boom—
