Lin Rui and Lin Xi had just terminated their communication when "Dead Eye" Horn was fully exerting True Yuan, shuttling through the foul-smelling sewer like a fleeting shadow.
He had indeed sustained injuries, having been hit in the chest by bomb guns carried by the armed police.
It was a type of heavy individual weapon specifically used to launch micro-armor-piercing rocket rounds, which had penetrated his exoskeleton armor with two shots.
However, Horn had already treated his wounds and had injected medicine to stop the bleeding.
He abandoned that set of exoskeleton armor, which was now carrying his blood and mimicking his scent to lure the pursuers away.
This was the last chance he had bought for himself to escape alive; his survival depended on this final move.
Horn was fully concealing his scent, and his movements were agile and precise, his footsteps on the water not even causing a ripple to avoid making noise and attracting the armed police.
