Chen Jinzhao’s intent to kill had already been ignited.
Ling Nan, who had previously been elusive, finally appeared before Chen Jinzhao. This was a golden opportunity.
Ling Nan stood his ground, seemingly unafraid of Chen Jinzhao.
Chen Jinzhao gripped the hilt of his Taisui Saber, his nerves tensed, ready to strike. But he suddenly stopped, frowning and looking around.
No wonder.
This old dog Ling Nan wasn't afraid at all.
He had guards.
As Chen Jinzhao watched, figures appeared to Ling Nan's left and right, both with Oriental features.
The aura emanating from these two was terrifying, and Chen Jinzhao guessed they were likely S-class.
A young man with a Chinese face, standing to Ling Nan's right, spoke, "Heh, Chen Jinzhao, it's been a long time. Do you remember me?"
As Chen Jinzhao heard the voice, he frowned, feeling a sense of familiarity.
He looked up abruptly and saw an incredibly familiar face, which made the anger in Chen Jinzhao's chest burn even fiercer.
"Su Xiao, is that you?" Chen Jinzhao narrowed his eyes.
In an instant.
Killing intent surged!
The young man Chen Jinzhao called Su Xiao laughed heartily, raising a hand to stroke his buzz cut and saying, "I didn't expect you to still remember me. Speaking of which, it's been many years since we last met. We should have a drink sometime."
Chen Jinzhao said coldly, "I have nothing to reminisce about with you. I only want to take your dog head now."
Su Xiao burst into laughter.
He repeatedly said, "Good, good, good. It seems you're still much the same as you were back then, just as I remember you."
"But you probably don't have the ability to kill me."
Chen Jinzhao snorted and said no more.
Su Xiao before him had also been a member of the Candle Dragon Special Operations Team back then. His strength surpassed Chen Jinzhao's. Chen Jinzhao had treated Su Xiao like a brother. But on a certain night later, Su Xiao went on a killing spree in the camp, taking the heads of more than a dozen Candle Dragon Special Operations Team members and defecting to the Black Blood organization.
From then on, Chen Jinzhao had wanted to kill Su Xiao every moment.
But—
After Su Xiao's betrayal, Chen Jinzhao also became the most prominent figure in the Candle Dragon Special Operations Team, receiving much resource support.
Otherwise, Chen Jinzhao might not have become a general now.
The person who had become a general might have been Su Xiao, standing before Chen Jinzhao.
Chen Jinzhao knew that the most important thing now was to remain calm. After taking a deep breath, he looked at the person standing to Ling Nan's left. It was a middle-aged man with an Asian face. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Nishikori Eisei. Candle Dragon should have heard of my name."
"The number one blade of the Eastern Sun?" Chen Jinzhao raised an eyebrow.
"Someone whose strength can rank in the top ten of the individual combat list, and he's also a member of the Black Blood Group."
"I truly never expected this."
Nishikori Eisei laughed heartily, "What individual combat list? I don't care for such things. Besides, that's a list for your soldier kings to compete for, it has nothing to do with me."
What ordinary people didn't know was that the people on the World Individual Combat List were the individual combatants or soldier kings from various countries and even various organizations. Those who were not in this category and were strong couldn't get on this list. Nishikori Eisei was an expert who didn't make it onto such a list.
But his strength was enough to rank in the top ten of this list.
Chen Jinzhao felt much more pressure.
After all, he didn't know how strong Su Xiao had become. If his strength was comparable to his own, then with Nishikori Eisei added, Chen Jinzhao would be far from a match.
This was trouble.
Ling Nan clapped his hands with a crisp sound.
"Meeting you here is truly an unexpected surprise for us. We'll kill you after we get the extraterrestrial meteorite. This trip to China will then be complete."
As his voice fell.
Chen Jinzhao sensed two more terrifying figures appear behind him.
He turned and saw two more familiar faces.
They were two soldier kings codenamed 'Skunk' and 'Porcupine', whose strength was outside the top ten, and both were members of the Black Blood Group.
Four S-class powerhouses, Chen Jinzhao's pressure increased sharply.
Even with all the confidence he had in himself, he believed he would likely perish here today.
Ling Nan suddenly sighed, "Actually, I originally brought eight S-class experts with me. Who would have thought four of them died in the extreme north. This place is truly strange. However, if we can kill you, then losing four S-class experts wouldn't be too much of a loss."
"It might even be a small profit."
Chen Jinzhao's heart stirred, and he thought of Huang Lang and the others.
He frowned and said, "In this place, someone dares to provoke your Black Blood Group? Are you joking with me?"
Ling Nan said in a deep voice, "Chen Jinzhao, did your people kill our experts?"
Chen Jinzhao shook his head directly.
This was impossible. If there was any action, he would have known immediately.
At least Yu Mengzhi hadn't informed him via satellite communication.
"Then that's strange," Ling Nan also hesitated.
"If you didn't do it, then who did? And that expert was very strange, using a long sword as a weapon. Could it be that there are still hidden masters in China?"
Hmm?
Ling Nan's words caught Chen Jinzhao's attention.
Perhaps there was such a possibility.
Ling Nan smiled and stared at Chen Jinzhao, "Dead is dead. Anyway, all our top forces in the various continents are still alive. Now our goal is to kill you first."
Chen Jinzhao said coldly, "Aren't you going to contend for the meteorite?"
"Our subordinates are still digging for the meteorite. Even if they find it, no one dares to compete with us, so I plan to kill you first," Ling Nan said, increasing Chen Jinzhao's pressure. Ling Nan added, "After killing you, we will have no worries."
Chen Jinzhao turned to Li Xiaoning and said, "After we start fighting, run away without looking back. Remember, never look back."
Ling Nan smiled without speaking.
Compared to killing Chen Jinzhao, a small woman was not worth his attention.
Su Xiao sneered, "Chen Jinzhao, surrender. Otherwise, you will surely become our fallen soul today."
Chen Jinzhao had underestimated the Black Blood Group's determination to seize the meteorite. If he had known that so many people from the Black Blood Group had come, he would have contacted Yu Mengzhi via satellite communication first and had Yu Mengzhi convey the news about the extreme north to Li Buyan and Xu Hanchen.
It was too late now.
Su Xiao and the other three had already surrounded him, and an unparalleled battle seemed inevitable.
"Wait!"
A firm voice came, drawing everyone's attention to him. Chen Jinzhao also turned to look at the speaker.
It was a middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes.
The middle-aged man smiled faintly, "Ling Nan, can you give me some face and spare Chen Jinzhao's life?"
Ling Nan frowned immediately, "Burke Ross?"
"Why are you obstructing our actions? I remember Chen Jinzhao also has enmity with your Ross family!"
Burke Ross shook his head and chuckled, "I'm not the only one who wants to save Chen Jinzhao's life. Everyone, come out."
Swish.
Several more figures appeared around them, clearly all S-class powerhouses!
They would not allow the Black Blood Group to hunt Chen Jinzhao.
Chen Jinzhao was initially confused, but after thinking carefully, he quickly understood. These people had made the most correct choice.
The Black Blood Group's strength was the greatest among everyone.
Therefore, they were the most likely to obtain the meteorite, which was what these scattered individuals were most unwilling to see.
Coupled with Chen Jinzhao's extraordinary strength, they wanted to join forces with Chen Jinzhao to eliminate the Black Blood Group first, and then compete for the meteorite through their own means.
In an instant.
The balance of power shifted, and the Black Blood Group was at a disadvantage.
