Ruthless Person

However, an unexpected situation occurred.

The bone sphere that was about to land on the ground suddenly exploded.

"Boom—"

A powerful shockwave swept outward instantly. The ground shook, stones flew, and a crater over ten meters wide was left at the original spot.

An, at the moment of the explosion, was swept away by the powerful shockwave, falling far away.

At this moment, he had revealed his figure, his clothes in tatters, blood flowing from various parts of his body. After getting up, he vomited two large mouthfuls of blood.

Adjusting his flying state, Su Hao said in surprise, "Still not dead? Level 4 mutant bodies are really strong! Even three 'Twenty Explosive' grenades couldn't kill the Thread Demon in one go."

After getting up, An looked at his hands, his mind blank: "Who am I, where am I, what am I supposed to do?"

It took him a while to regain his senses and recall everything that had just happened.

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

His mind raced: "This is bad, the opponent is flying too high, my 'Step on Air' can't reach, and I don't know if the other side can launch a similar attack again. If they can, this is trouble! I need to find a way to create an opportunity to attack!"

An clutched the twin blades in his hands tightly, not daring to let go even after being violently thrown away, because he knew these two blades were his last hope, even if they were already nicked.

"Run!" The next second, An immediately entered stealth mode again, running swiftly into the distance.

Su Hao adjusted his direction, bursting forth and chasing after An.

"Another shot, still a 'Fifty Explosive'."

He could create a higher 'Hundred Explosive', but the 'Hundred Explosive' was too large and required a different cannon barrel. Su Hao didn't want to bother with that.

If one shot doesn't work, then another shot, three shots, four shots, it'll work eventually!

Besides, he could collect some landing data and test the cannon's performance.

Soon, Su Hao's shell was ready. He loaded it into the cannon barrel.

The cannon was great in every way except for its long cooldown time.

Aim!

Fire!

"Boom!"

The shell was launched!

An was already prepared, his thick legs kicked hard, dodging to the side as far as possible, feeling powerless and angry: "Another one!"

The shell exploded two meters away from An. At the moment of explosion, he curled up entirely, using his back to face the impact.

"Boom—"

The violent explosion was deafening, grass and stones splattered, and An was thrown aside, rolling powerlessly on the ground, eventually crashing into a large rock and stopping.

"Poof!"

An spat out a mouthful of blood, struggling to stand up, wobbling, and then collapsing to the ground, not moving again.

Su Hao raised his eyebrows: "Dead already?"

His expression turned playful; An's blood energy intensity had indeed decreased, but there were no signs of unconsciousness or death: "Is he pretending to be dead? Trying to trick me into coming down and then ambush me?"

But it didn't matter, Su Hao had plenty of shells, he could easily make another one.

Su Hao flew higher again, a shell gradually forming in his hand. His idea was simple: whether he's pretending or not, a few more shells would ensure he couldn't pretend anymore!

A minute later, Su Hao dived down again, lowering his altitude, aiming the dark cannon barrel at An lying on the ground.

An couldn't lie still any longer.

At this moment, his chest was stuffy and uncomfortable. This was the most frustrating battle he had ever experienced. He couldn't exert his strength, couldn't escape, couldn't fight back, and even his stealth was discovered. It made him want to curse!

But his upbringing made him hold back.

He immediately jumped up and ran while in stealth mode.

As he ran, a shell exploded where he had been lying, blowing him away again, his injuries worsening. He knew he couldn't take many more hits.

An's clothes were already torn to shreds, only a pair of underwear still holding on, saving him from the embarrassment of being exposed in broad daylight.

Su Hao, satisfied with the shot, ascended again, preparing the fourth shell.

And An...

An's mind was breaking down.

Barely keeping his sanity, he reviewed what had happened to find where things had gone wrong.

"First, my escape speed is not an advantage, I can't run away. Second, the opponent is very cautious, I can't attack him. Finally, stealth has lost its effectiveness, I can't shake him off. This means my only way out is to figure out how he locates me and then eliminate it, using stealth to avoid his pursuit."

An took a deep breath, determined his target, and acted immediately.

According to the pattern, there was still a short time before the next explosion.

An quickly ran to a small pond and jumped in, scrubbing himself all over with water, not caring about his wounds.

Su Hao flew above, puzzled by An who was in the mood to take a bath, full of doubts: "Does he want to die clean?"

However, Su Hao didn't hesitate because of his puzzlement. He aimed at the right distance and fired.

An immediately jumped up and ran in stealth.

Su Hao chased and fired.

"Boom—"

An was thrown again, this time lying on the ground, not getting up immediately, needing to catch his breath.

"Cleaning doesn't work, something must be tagging me. Or hiding somewhere!"

So An picked up his short knife and started shaving his head, thinking something might be in his hair.

Su Hao watched in confusion: "Why is he giving himself a haircut? His hairstyle was fine. Why shave it all off? Is it some kind of ritual?"

Confused, Su Hao fired another shot.

"Boom—"

An was blown away again. His breathing was labored, chest heaving rapidly, feeling on the verge of death.

An knew he had one last chance. He wouldn't be able to dodge the next shot.

He didn't get up, calmly drew his long blade, and made a shallow cut from his neck down to his stomach, letting blood flow.

Then he cut from his thigh to his foot, and then his arms...

What happened next was horrifying.

An started skinning himself!

Five hundred words are omitted here.

Indescribable!

Moments later, An, entirely bloody, vanished from sight, leaving quickly.

This was An's last struggle to survive!

If...

To An, there was no if!

The word if was meaningless. He had done all he could, and now he awaited fate's judgment. He knew, saving or not saving Fred and Yi, the result would be the same.

When he led his three subordinates into this city, the outcome was already set.

As the team leader, he made a wrong decision—bringing Fred back to Temple Forest City to hunt the Bone Demon!

Up in the sky, Su Hao watched the whole process, gasping in shock.

This An was truly a madman!

Then he fired another shot at An!

"Boom—"
