Chapter 608 The mysterious saberLuo Lan looked at the three people outside and ignored the creeper vines sweeping towards him. “Zhou Qi, are you convinced now?”

Zhou Qi, almost at death’s door, said in a daze, “I’m convinced, I’m truly convinced.”

Previously, in Zhou Qi’s opinion, no matter how amazing Ren Xiaosu might be, he was still only a superhuman like him.

Any superhuman would think they were extraordinary, and it was not like some of them had an extra arm or a leg, right? Zhou Qi felt that even if he were to go up against Li Shentan, he would not necessarily lose to him. He might not be able to take him head on, but he could always find ways to assassinate him.

Moreover, Zhou Qi was one of the earlier superhumans to awaken their superpowers, so his physical fitness also surpassed most of the current crop of superhumans.

Therefore, when Luo Lan kept mentioning Ren Xiaosu in the presence of Zhou Qi, it annoyed him very much. It was as though Luo Lan deemed Zhou Qi to be super useless.

But now that he had a reference point, it wasn’t the same anymore. The other party was walking leisurely over the creeper vines he could not defeat. He was even holding hands with two women as he walked towards them. The visual impact of this sight was too much.

But more importantly, why was he holding the women’s hands despite it being such a dangerous situation?!

Just as the creeper vines were about to entwine Luo Lan and the others, the dark shadow of a saber suddenly flashed in front of them. It went past so quickly they could not make out what it was, and it completely severed the creeper vines in front of them!

Zhou Qi suddenly looked up at Ren Xiaosu and saw the young man holding a black saber in his right hand. However, Zhou Qi did not understand how the young man managed to slash through the vines even though they were still a few hundred meters apart.

The slash was extremely mystifying.

It had to be mysterious! In the past, Ren Xiaosu had used the Shadow Door to smack Luo Lan on his head. His actions had to be quick, or Luo Lan would realize it.

The creeper vine whose feelers had been severed became enraged. Although it was a low intelligence lifeform, even an idiot would fight back after being attacked!

In its perception, Ren Xiaosu, Zhou Yingxue, and Li Ran were still “invisible.” Therefore, it focused all of its anger on Luo Lan’s group.

A moment later, Luo Lan could only watch helplessly as a huge green wave of creeper vines came slamming towards them. The vines were tangled together like a gigantic hand.

Luo Lan despaired. Perhaps this was not a power any supernatural being stood a chance against.

However, he suddenly felt like he had no regrets. Just as he had said to Zhou Qi, he and Qing Zhen had always regarded Zhou Qi as their best friend. They were just worried he did not see them as his friends.

He also felt the same towards Ren Xiaosu.

Luo Lan had always been very envious of Ren Xiaosu and admired him a lot. He already considered Ren Xiaosu to be a very good friend. Otherwise, he would not have invited Ren Xiaosu to the Qing Consortium on so many occasions, nor would he have sent an armored brigade to attack the Beiwan River on his behalf.

However, he was most worried Ren Xiaosu did not consider him a friend.

But Ren Xiaosu had actually come to this dangerous city to rescue him! Just how many people in this world would truly risk their lives for their friends?

Luo Lan felt he should be content. With a friend like this, he shouldn’t have any more regrets in life.

Luo Lan shouted, “You don’t have to save me anymore. Hurry up and escape! We can’t defeat it.”

However, he saw Ren Xiaosu run towards them without a second word!

The countless nanomachines in Ren Xiaosu’s body started surging like crazy. It was as though the nanomachines were hungry for some action. When these cute little guys sensed their owner’s call, they cheered inside his body and became restless!

The nanomachines ignored the danger and seeped out of Ren Xiaosu’s bloodstream, forming tiny honeycomb structures on the surface of Ren Xiaosu’s skin and instantly turning into the strongest armor for their owner!

This transformation was a long journey for the nanomachines. Emerging from the blood vessels to the surface of the skin, a great adventure was about to begin.

But this transformation zoomed by for Luo Lan and the others. It almost felt like Ren Xiaosu was racing against that gigantic green hand. The only thing was that time seemed to be on Ren Xiaosu’s side.

From their point of view, Ren Xiaosu completed the entire process of forming the armor in an instant. That handsome young man had transformed into a steel beast!

As Ren Xiaosu made a mad dash to rescue the others, the creeper vines started attacking him as he had let go of Zhou Yingxue’s hand. However, the creeper vines’ spiked feelers were a little helpless against the armor. The armor could not even be penetrated by bullets and could be considered one of Ren Xiaosu’s greatest reliances at the moment.

When the gigantic green hand was about to hit them, Luo Lan excitedly watched as Ren Xiaosu rushed up to them. Then Ren Xiaosu turned to face the entirety of that green wave by himself as he leaped forward to meet it!

Luo Lan could only see the back of the armored Ren Xiaosu. He was soaring against the sunlight and flying toward the creeper vines with the black saber, splitting the “palm” of that green wave from its “hand”!

Li Ran saw everything from afar. So this was the reason why Zhou Yingxue was willing to submit to Ren Xiaosu as his maidservant. That young man was always able to give people an unparalleled sense of security at the most dangerous times.

That power…

“Quickly save them! Make use of this time!” Ren Xiaosu shouted as he descended from midair.

Zhou Yingxue rushed over to the group with Li Ran. Before the creeper vine could organize another counterattack, she quickly shouted to everyone, “Luo Lan, quick! Grab ahold of Li Ran’s hand. And the people at the back, grab Luo Lan’s hand! Form a chain and hold each other’s hands. Don’t panic!”

Everyone other than Zhou Tao had been through countless battles, so they immediately understood what Zhou Yingxue meant. It was no wonder Ren Xiaosu was holding hands with her earlier. So it turned out she had some kind of power that allowed her to not get attacked by the creeper vines!

The Qing Consortium soldiers carried Luo Lan and ran to Zhou Yingxue’s side. They forced Luo Lan’s hand into Zhou Yingxue’s hand and brought the exhausted Zhou Qi to his side as well. Following this, the Qing Consortium soldiers formed an orderly chain, holding hands, while the platoon commander held Zhou Qi’s hand.

Usually, in desperate times like this, if people realized that holding Zhou Yingxue’s hand would save them, they would definitely rush forward and try to grab her hand instead. This would cause the entire situation to descend into utter chaos.

But the Qing Consortium soldiers did not do that. Instead, they completed the chain in an instant with the platoon commander at the front while the rest of the soldiers formed up behind him.

The last soldier even had time to look out for the Hope Media reporter, Zhou Tao!

The moment everyone gripped each other’s hand tightly, the creeper vines sweeping towards them suddenly lost their target. Ren Xiaosu did not continue fighting the creeper vines and grabbed Zhou Tao’s hand. He said, “Let’s go! We have to leave this place before it realizes what’s happening!”

Since he had found Luo Lan, his mission was accomplished. He had to evacuate from here as quickly as possible now!

The group began their grand escape by walking over the dense growth of creeper vines. It was a sight as strange as it could get.

Luo Lan said in anguish, “The last time I held hands with so many people was when I was playing games in kindergarten….”

However, Ren Xiaosu did not answer him. He realized he might have stolen too much “food” from the creeper vines this time. As such, even though the creeper vines did not attack them for a while, the feelers were still following close behind them and might attack at any moment!
