In the hitmen's plan, four supernatural beings should have surrounded and killed Luo Lan and Zhou Qi.
According to their original plan, even if the several hundred undercover combatants could not kill Ren Xiaosu, they would at least be able to hold him back for half a day.
If they had enough time, Luo Lan would not be able to survive even if he had nine lives.
But now that Ren Xiaosu had returned ahead of time, their hitmen were nowhere to be found. From the looks of it, they were probably all dead.
The earpiece in the ears of the four black-clothed supernatural beings said, "No. 1, you'll intercept him. The other three will focus on killing Luo Lan. That should be enough."
With that, the supernatural being that Ren Xiaosu was following suddenly turned around and stood face to face with Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu quietly sized up the supernatural being. He was a young man in his late twenties and had a square face.
The other party stood like a javelin and looked like a soldier. His face had brown skin from years of training, and he was an expert from a certain organization's army.
Ren Xiaosu felt a little more assured. As long as they could identify the culprit, it would only be a matter of time before they found him. What he was most afraid of was that this group of people had not gone there yet, and it would be difficult to find any clues.
The Zhou Clan, Wang Clan, Kong Clan, and Pyro Company — these organizations trained their soldiers differently. Therefore, the soldiers' subtle movements during battle would also be different.
Of course, the differences were so subtle that Ren Xiaosu could not tell anything.
But it didn't matter. Wang Yun had already prospered in the Northwest. After this battle was over, even if Ren Xiaosu could not find any evidence, as long as he brought the surveillance footage of this route to Wang Yun, he would definitely be able to give him some answers.
Most supernatural beings were not organized when they first awakened, so the battles they fought were particularly chaotic.
This was the case for Zhang Baogen, Dong Funan, and the others.
However, in the past year, as time passed, batches of people started awakening. Some people believed that the number of superhumans in the Barrier Alliance might have exceeded 300, and half of them were born in the military.
After these Extraordinaires, who were originally soldiers, appeared, they were immediately secretly brought into hidden units by the various consortiums. Then, they invested even more funds to nurture them.
These people had very strong combat strength. Especially when they joined forces to fight, they would display combat attainments that surpassed that of ordinary supernatural beings.
The supernatural being in front of him closed in on Ren Xiaosu. He wanted to stall for time so that his three companions could quickly complete their mission.
The remaining three supernatural beings quickly ran towards Luo Lan. However, one of them suddenly felt that something was off. He turned around and saw a person wearing a white mask following him.
In the gloomy world shrouded in the rain, the white mask looked particularly abrupt and terrifying. There was no expression on the mask at all, but for some reason, the supernatural being standing opposite it felt like the other party was smiling.
White Mask was a legendary existence in the world of supernatural beings. He was involved in too many major events. But now, all the supernatural beings knew that White Mask was just someone's superpower.
The hitmen wanted to stop Ren Xiaosu and use the other three to surround and kill Luo Lan. However, their plan fell through again.
From this day onward, it seemed that every one of their plans would be very difficult to carry out. Accidents kept happening, causing them to have to keep changing their plans.
Almost at the same time, Ren Xiaosu and "Old Xu" charged towards their respective opponents.
"Old Xu's" battle might seem simple and unadorned, but each slash was extremely dangerous.
In just the instant the two sides clashed, its opponent was forced into a state where he could only keep running.
However, this supernatural being soon discovered a problem. "Old Xu's" speed was much faster than his. If he had to passively run for his life, he would not be able to hold on for long.
He made a prompt decision to stop in his tracks. When the blade came slashing at his back, he bent down and dodged it. Then, thirteen bone spikes suddenly shot out from his spine, making him look like a saber-toothed dragon. He looked extremely terrifying.
The bone spikes were more than a meter long. Based on the supernatural being's calculations, the moment White Mask's saber got close to him, he would definitely collide with the sharp bone spikes on his back. Then the bone spikes would penetrate his body.
In an instant, a bone saber also grew out from the back of his elbow. He was prepared to cut off "Old Xu's" head when "Old Xu" collided with him.
But a moment later, the supernatural being was stunned. He felt like the bone spikes on his back had stabbed into soft plasticine. Meanwhile, although "Old Xu" had been penetrated by the bone spikes, it did not stop slashing at all.
There was no scene of blood splattering like he had imagined. All he saw was "Old Xu" beheading him from behind without any emotion.
"That's too bloody," Luo Lan lamented. Even someone like him, who killed and committed arson all year round, felt a little nauseous.
However, this execution-like method of killing also made Luo Lan understand how angry Ren Xiaosu was about Jiang Xu's death.
At this moment, the other two supernatural beings who had not encountered Ren Xiaosu and "Old Xu" had come within 30 meters of Zhou Qi.
However, they did not rashly approach him. They were carefully observing the drizzling rain. The ever-present raindrops were making their skin prickle with pain.
The closer they got to Zhou Qi, the more intense the prickle became. Gradually, blood started seeping out of their skin. It was as though the drizzling rain had really turned into needles.
Luo Lan chuckled. "On a rainy day like this, if y 'all take another step forward, you'll die. If you don't believe me, why don't you give it a try?"
But at this moment, a black-clothed supernatural being suddenly raised his hand. A circle of blue light formed a ripple that spread out like a wave. Wherever the ripple went, it was as though another world had opened up.
Luo Lan was stunned. The street was still the same, but it was as though it had been isolated from the outside world. After the rain entered the barrier, it immediately turned into ice and snow, while the snow on the ground instantly turned into ice.
Frost quickly formed on everyone's hair and eyebrows.
If they wanted to kill Luo Lan, the other party would naturally have to find out who was protecting Luo Lan and what abilities the person protecting Luo Lan had.
Therefore, the reason they dared to make a move was because they were absolutely confident of success.
Inside the barrier, the other party used a world of ice and snow to lock in all the water, completely nullifying Zhou Qi's ability to control the water system. This was the principle of the freeze-drying machine's dehumidification.
By right, ice was also water, but Zhou Qi's superpower was not that powerful. He would have to turn the ice into liquid water before he could use it.
Luo Lan chuckled. "Looks like you've come prepared. Why don't we discuss this? I'll pay you double how much the organization behind you is paying you? Or you can take me to see your boss. I won't resist. It's not good for us to fight and kill in Luoyang City. Wouldn't it be bad if we end up hurting the residents? "
However, Luo Lan was not someone who would willingly give up without a fight. As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Qi behind him and prepared to start summoning his heroic spirit to catch the other party off guard.
The two supernatural beings approached Luo Lan and Zhou Qi without saying a word. The inside of the barrier was getting colder and colder, and Luo Lan felt his hands were about to freeze.
But a moment later, the sound of ice and snow shattering rang out. The four people inside the barrier looked up at the same time and were surprised to see that at the top of the circular barrier, someone was using a sniper rifle to hit the same spot over and over again.
The dome of the barrier looked like it was made of glass, and a huge spider web of cracks appeared on it!
