Chapter 98: The Reign Of Modern Weapons

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

The 3 fugitives realized that they were about to be surrounded. The strength-type metahuman proceeded to carry his 2 partners and continued to escape North.

A police car approached from the front but the strength-type metahuman seemed to have no intention of stopping. As the two parties were about to collide, this man leaped into the air and easily passed the car from above. This was the prowess of strength-types, their physiques were too overpowering!

Just how incredible were the physical abilities of a Class D strength-type? If he wishes to escape, not even the police or the Class D experts from the Heavenly Network could match his speed.

He wasn?t invincible but just stronger in this aspect. At Class C, could a man?s speed be faster than a flying sword? In that Class, even a bullet would not match the speed of a flying sword!

Lu Shu thought for a moment and told Lu Xiaoyu, ?Go home and wait for my call!?

He ordered firmly and Lu Xiaoyu was able to access the gravity of the situation and obediently leaped from roof to roof back home.

Lu Shu made Lu Xiaoyu leave as he wanted to follow them, not because he wanted to fight with the strength-type but because he wished to see what other techniques the Heavenly Network experts had in store.

Also… he wanted the soul of this Class D metahuman!

It wasn?t for himself but in preparation for Lu Xiaoyu. He had no plans to intercept amidst the chaos as doing so would be problematic. Given Lu Shu?s careful nature, he definitely wouldn?t do something so stupid.

But having the knowledge of where this man died meant that he could bring Lu Xiaoyu over after the chaos. And by that time, Lu Xiaoyu would have gained enormous combat power equivalent to that of a Class D expert.

This metahuman was violent by nature. He had harmed countless innocents yesterday and in today?s escape, he had sent multiple passers-by flying.

Being knocked down by him would be worse than being knocked down by a train!

So absorbing that man?s soul would not affect Lu Shu?s conscience.

He could not believe that the Heavenly Network was going to let the 3 man escape. If their escape was really successful, then the scenario that the Heavenly Network painstakingly built would become a joke. Even a Class D could toy with them and

this would reflect badly on the Heavenly Network?s combat power!

The heavenly kings were strong but how few of them were there?

Lu Shu suspected that the heavenly kings were similar to Li Xianyi who started their training ever since the era with scarce magical energy. And the other practitioners probably only started training after the recovery of magical energy. As the period of time since the recovery was still relatively short, there would be a huge gap between the real experts and the rest; even Class Cs were scarce.

Whether this was the case could be determined from the fight later that night.

He dared to follow them because of two reasons- one was that everyone?s attention was on the 3 fugitives, both the police and the Heavenly Network had their hands full on them and would not notice him.

The second reason was that Lu Shu was of a different caliber now. If even a Class D strength-type could wreak havoc all over the city, then Lu Shu would be able to too!

At that point in time, Lu Shu had just achieved Class D and his power may not be too far off compared to this strength-type. He also had his Corpse Dog. Neither the strength-type metahuman of that Heavenly Network Class Ds would expect a Tier F aptitude Daoyuan class student like him to possess such powers!

Furthermore, under the cover of his celestial cloak, it would be hard to recognize him and thus, Lu Shu was confident in keep himself away from trouble and to be able to retreat tactically if needed!

Without this confidence to be able to retreat, Lu Shu would not have chosen to follow them.

Lu Shu also realized the benefits of Li Xianyi?s training from the basics. He had a better understanding and control of his own strength which also explained his confidence.

Asking Lu Xiaoyu to go back wasn?t because of her strength but because Lu Xiaoyu had not broken through the second nebula, which meant that without the celestial cloak, her face would be easily recognizable.

It would spell trouble if their identities were exposed.

Lu Shu continued his advance along the roofs as there was no surveillance. The dark night and the shadows from the street lights provided extra protection. The lights could light up the roads but if someone were to look up past the street lights to look at something, it would be too difficult.

Basically, the lights were blocking their visions.

Everyone was heading North. Tall buildings weren?t much of an obstacle for Lu Shu and there weren?t many tall buildings to the North of the Wang Cheng bridge to begin with. The tallest building was a 4 stories tall furniture warehouse and to say that he was like walking on flat ground wasn?t an exaggeration.

Everyone was sprinting at top speed with the fugitives in the lead and Lu Shu following closely behind, then followed by the Heavenly Network people. Judging from this, Lu Shu must have one of the best physical capabilities among all of the people there!

Luo Cheng was a small city and the strength-type metahuman was about to reach the Longhai overpass and further north was just mountains. Once within the mountains, given strength-type physical capabilities, it would be impossible to track him down again.

But Lu Shu doubted that it would so simple.

At this moment, loud bangs from an automatic rifle could be heard from a nearby rooftop as the bullets hit the soil, causing a veil of dust and small potholes.

It wasn?t missed on purpose but that metahuman was too fast and even the snipers could not do anything to him.

This was the advantage of having speed!

A concentrated gunfire could be heard through the night sky which sounded like the roar of a wild beast. Lu Shu noticed, from afar, a man donned in an army uniform and immediately jumped off the building. Given that the sniper was set up on a rooftop, staying there would be hard to stay undetected.

Lu Shu hid in the shadows of the buildings and observed the situation.

That metahuman was forced to hide within one of the buildings to prevent any stray bullet from hitting him. Even a Class D metahuman had to beware of the destructive capabilities of modern weapons.

He could still dodge the scattered bullets of the police but under this concentrated firepower, how could he hide?
