Chapter 267 An Explanation
Kuang Chao was scared, she was truly frightened.
She feared her body would split into pieces again.
The thought of retreat emerged in her mind.
Meanwhile, Su Chen's battle was in full swing.
Strictly speaking, his strength was somewhat inferior to that of the woman in the leather coat, but because of Black Stone, he was fearless of any attacks from her.
He just needed to dodge her fatal strikes.
Then, he could launch attacks at will.
And so, when both of them had accumulated over a hundred wounds.
The woman's attacks finally began to slow down.
A flicker of disturbance appeared in her eyes.
Actually, Su Chen alone couldn't have pushed her into this situation.
The main problem was that there was an extremely skilled Sniper hiding in the forest.
This posed a significant disruption for her.
It forced her to constantly pay attention to the forest while fighting Su Chen.
Clang Clang Clang!
The woman was forced to continuously retreat under the attack of the military saber.
The military saber had already developed dense cracks and was nearly shattering.
But Su Chen continued to wield it rapidly as if he couldn't see them.
Bang!
A gunshot sounded again.
A Sniper Bullet was flying towards her at high speed.
The timing was impeccably grasped by the attacker.
Even a Saint wouldn't dare let a Barrett bullet hit them.
Being slashed by Su Chen's sword might not be lethal.
But being hit by a Barrett meant certain death.
Without any hesitation, the woman took a slash from Su Chen and swung her katana at the incoming bullet.
Bang!
The bullet was once again deflected by the katana.
In the distant forest, Liang Bing touched her now-empty Barrett magazine with a hint of regret on her face.
Her timing was perfect, yet she still failed to kill the woman.
She had no bullets left; the rest was up to Su Chen.
Although Liang Bing's bullet did not wound the woman, it created an opportunity for Su Chen.
When the woman used her katana to block the Barrett bullet, Su Chen immediately closed in, driving his knee into her sternum.
The woman's body uncontrollably fell backward.
He dashed forward.
The military saber stabbed mercilessly towards the woman's chest.
A hint of madness appeared in Su Chen's eyes.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time he directly killed a Saint by himself.
Although he had killed Saints before, it was with the help of a team.
This time, he had single-handedly slain a Saint.
Well, not entirely alone; he had Liang Bing's help.
He also felt a sense of relief.
He was fortunate that Liang Bing was with him; otherwise, he couldn't have defeated the woman in the leather coat so quickly.
Bang!
The woman's head slammed heavily onto the ground, her mask popping off.
Coincidentally, Su Chen could see who was beneath the mask.
But when he saw the face below the mask, his pupils suddenly contracted, and the military saber in his hand stopped an inch from the woman's chest.
A surge of emotions flooded his eyes in an instant.
Confusion, incomprehension, anger…
How could it be her…
Su Chen had considered who might be under the mask.
But he had never thought it would be her.
His sister-in-law!
The leader of the Reverse Dragon Group!
Su Chen couldn't accept that the woman who led the Reverse Dragon Group to glory, the woman whom everyone in the Reverse Dragon Group treated like family, turned out to be the one slaughtering members of the Reverse Dragon and pushing Reverse Dragon into a corner.
How could this be?
In a moment, Su Chen's mind went blank.
Boom!
Su Chen's body suddenly flew up, crashing heavily backward.
But his gaze was vacant, as if he had given up resistance.
The woman quickly picked up the mask from the ground, put it on, then leaped into the air, landing on top of Su Chen, directing her katana straight at Su Chen's heart.
Yet, Su Chen seemed to be oblivious, just staring dumbly at the woman.
Looking into the eyes beneath the mask.
He wanted to know.
Why.
If his sister-in-law wanted his life, he could have handed it over without reluctance.
"No!"
Members of Reverse Dragon Group witnessing this scene showed expressions of madness.
They launched the fiercest attacks towards the Kuang Chao.
Two more lines on Kuang Chao's body were severed.
Her body was almost splitting apart.
The woman glanced back at Kuang Chao, her pupils contracting,
And thrust her katana fiercely toward Su Chen on the ground.
Plunge!
The katana pierced Su Chen's heart fiercely. Еnjоying thе stоry? Find mоrе аt МV-LЕМРYR.
It even went through his body, nailing him directly to the ground.
Then, the woman quickly went to the critically injured Kuang Chao, hoisted her on her shoulder, and sped into the depths of the dense forest.
The Shura retreated.
Except for two core members, all were wiped out.
This battle was supposed to be a victory for Reverse Dragon Group.
Although it was a Pyrrhic victory.
Fortunately, all five core members were still alive.
Only two ordinary members remained.
But at least Liu Li was still alive.
The Reverse Dragon Group did not pursue but instead rushed to Su Chen.
They saw Su Chen, impaled through the heart by a katana and nailed to the ground.
Each of them bore a look filled with incomprehension.
Because just now, Su Chen clearly had the opportunity to kill that leather-clad woman.
But in the end, his blade did not strike.
At that moment, Liu Li regained consciousness.
Upon seeing Su Chen nailed to the ground by the katana, she immediately thought to heal him.
But she was stopped by Chu Feng.
It was a joke, Su Chen's heart was pierced, and if Liu Li was to heal him, even taking on just half of the injuries, she would die immediately.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen won't die," Chu Feng said blandly.
As core members of Reverse Dragon Group, they might not know that Su Chen had obtained Black Stone.
But they knew Su Chen possessed a special ability.
Anyone else pierced through the heart would undoubtedly die.
But not Su Chen.
"Let's take the deputy team leader back first," said Dragon King of the North indifferently.
...
A day later, at a secret base of Reverse Dragon Group.
Su Chen woke up. His heart had healed, and although not fully recovered, he believed it would return to normal in just a few days.
Others did not have his formidable self-healing ability, but the base had medicine to treat injuries.
So, everyone's injuries were temporarily under control.
The only one was Liu Li.
Her injuries were too severe; she had taken on too much for Reverse Dragon Group.
And she was still not out of danger.
In Su Chen's room, all four Dragon Kings and Chu Feng were present.
Everyone was wrapped in thick gauze.
"The deputy team leader is awake," Dragon King of the North was the first to see Su Chen awaken.
The other three Dragon Kings and Chu Feng also gathered around.
But no one spoke.
The atmosphere seemed somewhat silent.
A full half-minute later, Dragon King of the North spoke, "Deputy team leader, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
Su Chen knew what explanation Dragon King of the North wanted.
That was why, although he clearly had the chance to kill that woman, he ultimately did not.
