Chapter 729 275: Man and Tiger_2
"The main reason is that I've never assassinated a high-ranking Citizen like him before. I'm a bit scared."
"Scared of what? Don't you trust my arrangements? We've carried no electronic devices this time, just this gun. I assembled this gun using spare parts with an expert from the lab. Once it's used up, I'll take it back, disassemble it, and return everything to its place, disappearing without a trace. Furthermore, once Ren Zhong is dead, my boss will take the opportunity to enter the Ren's group and swallow his industry. Ren Zhong now has no family or descendants; his death holds no value. Who would risk offending my boss to avenge him? The common belief here on Source Star is that the dead hold no value."
"This..."
"The most important thing is that we've already transferred the funds to you and paid the tax. No one has ever taken my boss's deposit and then not completed the job. Think it over clearly. Either bet big to rise to the top or wait for death. Do you even have a choice?"
After a moment, another voice resolutely said, "Alright, I'll do it and make sure it gets done."
"Smart choice."
...
The battle between Ren Zhong and the Vibranium Tiger erupted suddenly.
As usual, the Vibranium Tiger appeared on time at the "sacrifice" dumping spot, where humans and it had formed a mutual understanding.
It was filled with anticipation.
As a fully metalized silicon-based lifeform, it had a peculiar love for the brains of humans, these carbon-based creatures.
When its internal metal decomposition machine peeled and crushed human brain neurons one by one, its Crystal Core received some marvelous streams of information, making it feel fulfilled.
But today, disappointment was evident; there was supposed to be ten sacrifices, yet there was only one person in azure armor on the ground.
The Vibranium Tiger cautiously activated its sensory devices in advance.
It had a special ability to sense the connection between the human brain and information streams.
It quickly determined that this sacrifice was not here to take its life.
The Vibranium Tiger did not have a clear understanding of human Professionals' ranks, but it could instinctively gauge whether the person before it posed a threat.
Its judgment was basically equivalent to the human Brain-Machine Synchronization Rate.
At this moment, Ren Zhong's Brain-Machine Synchronization Rate was still at 49.99%, top-notch Fourth Level Mecha Warrior standard, yet still within the Vibranium Tiger's diet.
This time, the humans offered a more advanced meal, but the quantity was severely reduced.
The Vibranium Tiger planned first to fill the gap with this person, then go to the town and playfully kill a few more humans to give a warning.
With this thought in mind, it went forward leisurely.
Then... it was suddenly struck by Ren Zhong wielding a blade to cut its forehead.
The power set to 120,000 kilowatts, the modified Corrosive Blade hit its alloy skull the size of a truck wheel hard.
The specially reinforced corrosive energy caused it to feel pain emanating from the depths of its Crystal Core.
This corrosion ability was achieved through the special modified weapon aimed at the Vibranium Tiger's alloy body by Ju Qingmeng.
At this point, the impact force of Ren Zhong's Corrosive Blade was weak, but it continuously burnt the alloy structure like sulfuric acid on a carbon-based animal, specifically to counter the Vibranium Body.
The Vibranium Tiger roared in fury, emitting a metallic squeal from its throat.
Along with this piercing metallic squeal, an invisible stream of information surged from its throat, sweeping towards Ren Zhong right in front of it.
Two thumb-sized explosives ejected from the grenade launcher on Ren Zhong's shoulder, bursting open with a "pop".
These were two pricey Information Flow Interference Bombs.
The chaotic information streams collided silently with the Vibranium Tiger's Impact Tiger Roar.
The Impact Tiger Roar, which had previously succeeded against even Level Six Professionals, failed.
Similar to the situation on Earth, the tiger, as the solitary king of the jungle, the supreme ruler of wild animals, possessed remarkable combat wisdom and knew how to exploit its weapon to the fullest.
The next moment, its two feet stomped fiercely on the ground.
The terrifying power nearly shattered the rocky platform.
It activated the anti-gravity device within, transforming into a stream of light, pouncing forward.
A circle of white sonic clouds appeared around its body.
Before the booming sound arrived, its form suddenly appeared in front of Ren Zhong.
It extended two paw-sized metallic claws, which seemed almost invisibly transparent under ultra-high-frequency oscillation.
But it pounced to no avail.
It was fooled by a dynamic realistic projection that Ren Zhong had secretly learned from Shi Xuan.
It quickly twisted its body in mid-air, its powerful hind legs landing, compressing, and then bursting forward again.
Only now did Ren Zhong hear two loud booms from the spot where it started to pounce, along with a piercing buzz.
One was the explosive sound caused by both hind legs of the Vibranium Tiger striking the ground simultaneously.
The other was the air burst sound generated by accelerating past the sound barrier during the pounce.
As for the buzzing sound, it was produced by its claws continuously compressing air through ultra-high-frequency oscillation.
This time, the Vibranium Tiger missed again.
Ren Zhong had activated Consciousness Upload, and used the pseudo Time Intuition combined with Combat Intuition, predicting its attack, starting the lateral movement 0.5 seconds in advance, just avoiding its second pounce.
But the terrible gust generated by its body still blew Ren Zhong off balance.
From the beginning of their exchange until now, less than three seconds had passed, but the scene was already a flying sand and stones, dust billowing across the sky.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
Intense explosions erupted again beside Ren Zhong.
This was the commotion generated by the detonation of tracking conductive magnetic fluid spread bombs.
The remote-controlled tiger tail, stealthily mixed in the flying sand, was struck by nearly twenty spread bombs simultaneously.
Terrifying currents spread through the constantly splashing magnetic fluid from the air to the ground.
After a brief discharge, the approximately six-meter-long tiger tail drooped to the ground like a cable wrapped in fluid.
More than ten kilometers away, Ju Qingmeng, observing the battlefield through a high-definition drone, only felt her hair stand on end.
This was the effect of a super strong electrostatic field.
She clenched her fists tightly, praying in her heart that the equipment she and Chen Hanyu had planned in advance would be effective.
The Vibranium Tiger finally ceased its continuous pouncing and instead moved slowly along the ground with its back arched.
It kept observing its opponent.
It began to find this troublesome.
It didn't know what was happening.
The sense of human-brain-to-information-stream interaction did not make it feel threatened, yet the displayed abilities were so bizarre and powerful.
Nevertheless, the Vibranium Tiger did not intend to retreat.
In its assessment, it still had the absolute advantage with higher energy.
It had just crushed a Level Six Mechanical Warrior to death not long ago.
The energy manipulated by this person was almost the same as that of the dead person.
It just needed to find the other's weakness to make the win easier.
Five seconds later, the figure of the Vibranium Tiger vanished abruptly, zigzagging towards Ren Zhong after two rapid direction changes in a brief period.
During this process, the metallic squeal from its mouth continued without pause.
Wave after wave of impact information flow swept overwhelmingly towards Ren Zhong.
It pushed its Energy Level Index to the limit, 240,000.
It intended to use this fierce offensive for a decisive victory.
