My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 219 - 174: Anna

Both parties exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

"This is a Saint."

After a brief standoff.

The leading woman spoke first, her tone stiff: "Someone I respect the most."

She seemed to notice Xia Li's team being a little tense, and she took the initiative to explain.

She spoke in Mandarin.

Despite the strange accent, everyone present understood.

"...Understood."

Li Zheng seemed well-prepared and upon hearing the word 'Saint', instantly understood, squinted his eyes and examined the corpse, then voluntarily introduced himself: "My name is Li Zheng." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"You can call me...Anna."

The leading woman uttered a name in her native language.

"Anna."

Li Zheng repeated her name and then said, "Next, let's exchange some information to see if we're aligned, to avoid any misunderstandings or unnecessary arguments later."

Anna heard this, nodded lightly: "Okay, but before that...I must tell you something."

"What?"

Li Zheng frowned.

"You're headed for death."

Anna said softly in clumsy Mandarin: "The First Rider Position is a cancer, a festering wound, a group of villains...but it cannot be denied, they are formidable. We tried to besiege them before, but failed."

Upon saying this.

She paused, twisted her neck to look around, glanced at the people behind Li Zheng.

"There are some despicable and shameless people stirring trouble in here, but the First Rider Position is indeed hard to deal with."

"And you, though looking good, still have a gap compared to them, especially their leader.

Furthermore, they possess many weapons, you should send higher-end combat forces, I've seen it before."

"Celestial Strategy Mansion's Celestial Strategy."

"That's what it's called...you should call them over."

"Otherwise, I don't think going with you is a good idea."

"..."

Li Zheng heard this, was silent for a while: "Our Celestial Strategy will come later."

"Oh?"

Anna heard this and continued asking: "One or two?"

"One."

"Is it Xia Yue?"

"No."

"Then I still think it's not feasible."

Anna shook her head lightly, seriously said: "The First Rider Position has two leaders, one person, not Xia Yue, can't handle it. Plus, they've collected many advanced 'Divine Format' to make weapons. The power of their weapons is vast, almost like Artificial Antiques, completely different from normal weapons, you'd be shot dead before getting close."

"That's our issue."

Li Zheng was silent for a moment, replied: "We'll assess this aspect on our side. We're just cooperating, doesn't mean you have to follow my orders, vice versa as well. I understand your concerns, but we have a solution."

"Solution?" Anna showed a puzzled look.

"That's our issue."

"I don't think your solution will work."

Anna looked at the weapons Li Zheng and the others carried, then said: "I know you also carried weapons, but not of the same caliber...and now you're not in your master's embrace, so you should be affected."

"...If you find us untrustworthy, then please leave."

Li Zheng didn't hesitate, directly said: "I've already said, we're just cooperating, just like I'm asking you now, who the 'Saint' you're carrying is, what effect does it have, you wouldn't answer me just as we also have our own secrets. Additionally..."

He paused, suddenly lifted his foot, gently stepped on the land beneath him, expressionless said: "Strictly speaking, this land doesn't belong to your master, it's still part of Yellow Springs Mainstream, using your words, we're still in master's embrace, your statement is incorrect."

"..."

Anna quietly watched Li Zheng, remaining silent, after a long while, she slowly raised her hand, drew a cross on her chest: "Then good luck to you, Аминь."

"Alright...tell me the final confirmed location."

Li Zheng heard the other side staying silent, finally sighed in relief.

…

Time rewinds slightly.

Before Li Zheng and the others set off.

Another entrance.

Just at dawn.

Three off-road vehicles set off, first heading to another direction of Ussuri Shallow.

Initially, the road was winding and quite rugged.

The off-road vehicles bumpy on the mountain paths, the engines roared and tires screeched occasionally.

About two hours later, at the same time Li Zheng met Anna, the three off-road vehicles drove up high, finally stopped.

Chen Lu Si was the first to push open the car door, got off the car, then stretched a bit and looked into the distance.

The vast primordial forest unfolded before him, thick green fir trees covered the ground, a wide river calmly traversed through it...a nice view.

"I'm leaving."

A voice suddenly spoke.

Chen Lu Si turned back, looked at Yu Zhou with whom he had a brief encounter, and asked: "Going to find Li Zheng?"

"Yes, Zhou Jian will take you to the best location based on the intel sent by Li Zheng later and also be responsible for monitoring the surroundings and help you shift."

Yu Zhou and Chen Lu Si exchanged a glance, explained: "If I keep going up, I might not make it."

"Did you come here to activate Authority?"

Chen Lu Si looked up at the sky, which was fine just a moment ago, now covered with dark clouds, seemed to rain, a dull grey.

"...Looks like Xia Yue mentioned it to you."

Yu Zhou heard this, smiled: "Yes, recently I battled with one of the leaders from the First Rider Position, truly tough, whether out of concern for my own safety or responsibility for others, I need to prepare in advance.

And my Authority Ability can't spread infinitely, standing in a place with a wide view allows better control, also faster to activate."

"Understood."

Chen Lu Si nodded lightly.

"...Then I leave it to you here."

Yu Zhou looked at Chen Lu Si, actually felt odd...

After all, this was his first time saying such words to an Empowerer in Bleeding Stage.

Chen Lu Si hesitated for a while hearing this, then asked: "It's really okay if I don't go to the First Line?"

Yesterday.

Just arrived at the destination.

He followed Li Zheng, met with Yu Zhou, and Yu Zhou also told him the arrangement for this action.

After the three exchanged ideas, Li Zheng and Yu Zhou finally decided...not to let Chen Lu Si go to First Line.

"..."

Yu Zhou heard Chen Lu Si's words, glanced at the bag he carried, expression even more odd: "It's alright, dealing with the 'First Rider Position', what you carry now is much more useful than going to First Line."

Indeed.

Yesterday, he witnessed it too...

Only can say.

Too damn surprising.

"Problem is, my accuracy isn't very good."

Chen Lu Si pondered, expressed his concern: "You saw it yesterday too."

Yu Zhou: "..."

He fell silent.

Chen Lu Si used the weapon he carried...everything was good.

It's just the accuracy, truly hard to compliment.

A few meters away could miss...

At first, because of the explosion, it wasn't noticeable, the range was large after all.

But once the explosive effect was gone...dogs would shake their heads.

Thankfully, last night Chen Lu Si barely found a solution.

Otherwise, the whole plan would be dead on arrival.

"Range attack doesn't need accuracy, you just shoot, as for targeting individual beings...handle it like yesterday."

Yu Zhou was silent for a moment, replied: "Switch Burst to Guaranteed Hit."

…

As time passed.

The primordial forest gradually awakened.

The rhythm of life began to manifest.

And what followed was restless agitation.

Li Zheng's location, thirty kilometers east, an undulating mountain range.

A muscular, full-white-bearded man stood on high ground, crossed his arms over his chest, excitedly licked his lips, then muttered to himself: "...Two orders, need to kill a third of the people, then can get two rewards, easy money.

A country, hehe...more chaos like this would be nice, I like such chaos!"
