Boom!

Just then, a black gun barrel suddenly protruded from the nearly burnt-out car window. A flash of fire erupted, and countless steel pellets sprayed out.

"Ouch!"

One of the militiamen, standing too close, was hit in the shoulder by the hail of steel pellets. Blood instantly soaked the fabric of his shoulder.

The two men standing beside him immediately dragged him behind a nearby dirt pile to prevent the attackers from firing again.

All three stopped firing, greatly relieving the bandits' pressure.

Wells's eyes flashed fiercely. He kicked the car door open and, with extreme ruthlessness, shoved Chen Jinshui in front of him, jumping out of the burning vehicle.

Following behind him were the remaining thirteen or fourteen bandits, who also jumped out of the car in a disheveled state, fleeing frantically along the road towards their base.

In this brief clash, lasting only a minute, nearly half of them had been lost.

Some were killed by stray bullets, others were burned alive into charred corpses…

Even these hardened bandits, witnessing such a horrific scene, were nearing the breaking point.

They dared not continue fighting Li Tianran, for they had no idea how many more tricks he had up his sleeve!

The unknown is always the most terrifying!

"You son of a bitch! Didn't you say their ambush was near the farm? Didn't you say they were a bunch of useless weaklings?" Wells yelled, dragging Chen Jinshui along as he ran, his face contorted in rage. "Then explain to me why a bunch of zero-combat-ability losers were able to beat my men so badly in one round? At least half my men are dead!"

Chen Jinshui's legs were trembling so badly he could barely walk. He was completely reliant on the tall Wells and another bandit to drag him along.

Wells suddenly smelled a foul odor. He looked down and saw that Chen Jinshui's crotch was soaked, steaming with mist.

"Fuck you!" Wells exploded, his native language erupting from his lips!

He turned back and saw Li Tianran leading his men in pursuit. Fury and panic mixed together, and he raised his shotgun, pressing it against Chen Jinshui's chest. "You dared to lie to me. This is the price for deceiving me!"

Chen Jinshui seemed to suddenly snap back to reality. He screamed, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I was also kept in the dark! I sincerely wanted to help you, Mr. Wells…"

Bang!

Wells's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he pulled the trigger.

Chen Jinshui's body was instantly thrown back three or four meters, a bloody hole blown through his chest. He fell to the road, convulsing uncontrollably.

"Move!" Wells shouted, leading his remaining thirteen men in a frantic escape.

Chen Jinshui's eyes were vacant, his pupils gradually dilating, blood spreading across the ground.

His mouth opened and closed, muttering to himself, "Li Tianran… you tricked me, you tricked me… you'll die a horrible death…"

Li Tianran also led his men in pursuit. He saw Chen Jinshui lying on the ground, clinging to his last breath, but felt no pity, no guilt.

From the moment Chen Jinshui decided to betray them, whatever end he met was his own doing, nothing to do with Li Tianran!

"Next life, don't be a traitor." Li Tianran glanced at him coldly, then strode past him.

The militiamen also saw Chen Jinshui's terrible state, but Li Tianran had already told them about Chen Jinshui's plan to defect to the bandits the night before. Their eyes were filled with contempt, especially Wang Bing, who hated the bandits and even more so, the unprincipled lackeys like Chen Jinshui!

"Heh… ptooey!" Wang Bing was the last to pass him, spitting a mouthful of saliva to express his disgust for Chen Jinshui.

Chen Jinshui's body finally stopped convulsing, and he breathed no more.

…

Wells ran wildly, ordering his men to scatter, no longer simply following the road but dispersing into the fields on either side.

He realized that although Li Tianran's militia was well-equipped, most of the men besides Li Tianran were indeed ordinary people with low combat ability, and their stamina was far inferior to that of his men.

After two or three minutes of pursuit, the militiamen had gradually fallen behind, with only Li Tianran relentlessly chasing after them.

If the bandits scattered, Li Tianran alone would be unable to pursue them in several directions at once!

But just then, the sound of a cannon-sniper rang out again.

A bandit who had already run into the desolate fields fell to the ground, half his body blown away!

The other bandits were instantly terrified, retreating back to the road!

Wilson felt his scalp tingle at this sight.

Among those chasing them, it wasn't just Li Tianran, but also a sniper!

At this moment, a combat mecha exuding a metallic sheen, was lurking in a hidden spot five hundred meters away, a gun barrel extending from its palm, still faintly smoking…

"That damned yellow-skinned monkey… if we can't shake him off, we'll all be killed by that sniper hiding in the shadows!" Wells glanced at Li Tianran with extreme anger, then suddenly raised his gun and fired a shot backward.

Li Tianran's pupils contracted, and his body suddenly flashed to the left, the steel pellets whizzing past his side.

"Damn it!" Wells cursed again and continued to run.

The murderous aura in Li Tianran's eyes grew stronger. In fact, he could have caught up long ago, but there were too many of them. The militiamen couldn't keep up with his pace. If Li Tianran charged in alone, he might face the awkward situation of having a dozen shotguns aimed at him at once.

So he maintained a distance of a dozen meters from them, chasing them from not too far, not too near, using the superior range of his pistol to take down an enemy every few seconds.

As they ran, the number of people around Wells dwindled. Now, including himself, there were only eight people left!

"There's no escaping." Wells's stamina was also approaching its limit. He felt like his lungs were about to explode. Even the air he sucked into his throat felt scalding hot. If they kept running like this, they would be exhausted to death even if Li Tianran didn't kill them!

He felt as if Li Tianran's stamina was infinite. Even he, with his specially trained physique, felt like he was about to collapse, but Li Tianran's speed remained steady, as if he wasn't tired at all!

And most importantly, he felt that Li Tianran seemed to be playing a cat-and-mouse game with them!

He could have killed them directly, but he kept giving them hope, then shattering it little by little!

"Prepare to fight back! There are eight of us, and they only have one person and a cannon-sniper. Even if they fire at the same time, they can't kill us all in an instant!" Wells stopped abruptly, then suddenly turned around, glaring at Li Tianran with bloodshot eyes, raising his gun to aim.

Bang!

Just as Wells finished speaking, another bandit beside him exploded, his body shattered by the sniper's powerful force!

Blood splattered, splashing on the faces and bodies of the remaining bandits, demonstrating in the most direct way what cruelty meant!

"He who kills shall be killed." Li Tianran looked at Wells and his bandits expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Are you ready to die?"
