The group was badly startled from the surprise attack and only Miles was prepared. It was to say his experience from his previous life were still useful.
In addition, he sensed Mendes's intentions through the small shift in position in preparation to spring while counting.
Accumulating all his energy to the max, Miles stomped his feet heavily to the ground, his body flashed as he appeared before Mendes.
His muscles trembled and seem to expand as his veins bulged. Immediately he slashed vertically in an arc.
Mendes was surprised and a little bit unprepared for any kind of reaction, he definitely did not expect that this group of youngsters would be able to resist him at all.
Mendes huge bald with Miles blade collided together.
"Ding!"
Sparks lit up like fireworks as it exploded in a directions. Miles's wrist suddenly turned and his blade shifted slightly and slid pass Mendes's blade.
"Shiiing!"
Another burst of fireworks exploded and Mendes's waist was scratched with a blade cut, a little bit of blood slowly leaked out from the shallow cut.
Everyone who witnessed this just could not believe their own eyes: A level 2 Supersoldier had wounded a level 3 Super Soldier warrior with just one movement. It was just impossible.
No one would know that Miles himself was actually a little bit disappointed.
If he had learnt some sort of movement technique or battle technique, then this fight would have been over in just one move.
However, now that his surprise attack didn't work, the enemy would stop underestimating and the battle would become increasingly difficult.
Seeing his first attack failed to create a huge impact, Miles didn't relent. He immediately absorbed 20 units of biomass stored in his storage.
Instantly, his strength increased rapidly but it wasn't enough to breakthrough to Level 3.
His heels dug to the ground and he spun his waist, recalling the momentum as he delivered his second attack.
The wind shrieked as the blade traveled at an even faster speed, slashing towards the leader's head.
"Damn, this brat is actually quite skilled!"
Mendes had a horrible look on his face. His blade raised like it was about to slice the sky, the blade moved with an overwhelming strength as it sliced downwards like an hammer, towards the center of Miles's blade arc. Mendes wanted to destroy Miles's momentum, otherwise he knew he would be in trouble.
"Whoosh!"
His attack was heavy and immensely powerful but suddenly, Miles's blade sped up and Mendes's attack failed to hit its target.
Mendes was shocked, his sword cut through the afterimage of the blade , but was as useless as trying to slash through air.
Using an intense amount of explosive Force, Mendes immediately leapt back, hurriedly retreating, making Miles blade slice through his shirt instead.
A second miss.
Miles's eyes flashed as he expected Mendes's retreat.
The ground beneath his feet instantly caved in as he exploded after Mendes.
Raising his blade to the skies, he slashed downwards like a descending meteorite as the air seem to combust in reaction to the fiction between his blade and air resistance.
Mendes's eyes flashed with murderous intent. A spark suddenly lit up in his palm, transforming into a flame the size of a tennis ball.
He immediately threw it towards Miles blade as an attempt to push back Miles's fatal attack, he yelled: "Damn brat, go to hell!"
"KA-BOOM!"
Flames exploded like lava, splashing in all directions in a circular shockwave.
A Level 3 Super Soldier was not so easy to kill. The shockwave was like a hurricane, blowing away Miles's body.
But in that split second when the flames exploded, he grabbed the Crossbow behind him, aimed and fired.
"SU!"
The smoke and fire hadn't even cleared when a grave sense of danger exploded in Mendes's mind.
His eyes opened wide as he tried to use his blade block the arrow aimed at his head, but he was two inches late.
He was an F-rank bloodline warrior with minor flame manipulation. Hence, pushing his flames to explode like that weakened him mentally and made his reaction a bit slow.
The arrow shot into the center of his head, coming out at the back before stopping.
Only the end of the arrow could be seen. A look of shock and disbelief appeared on Mendes face before he collapsed to the ground. It all just happened so quickly and smoothly.
A bloodline warrior with the hopes of reaching Genetic Soldier realm was killed by a crossbow, as easy as having tea and eating lunch.
Miles grinned as he finally understood his own power level and fighting skills. As long as he could catch his opponent off guard, he could kill them in an instant.
Pulling the arrow and shaking off the blood on it, Miles tried not to think about the fact that he just killed a person. He looked around and found the two groups were already fighting against each other: Eight burly men were attacking Maine and the group in a circle. The sounds of weapons colliding against each other were continuous and seemingly endless.
"Piss off!", said Maine who had the highest power level among the group. He threw a couple of punches that rolled in a row and four burly men were blown away.
However, one of them had only been pushed back three steps, and even though the clothing over his chests were all ripped apart, but he wasn't hurt at all.
Seeing that, Maine's pupil narrowed, "...Iron Skin Combat art!"
The guy had a square face and a huge mouth. Standing at two meters tall, his back was always hunched. His massive chest muscles were like two high mountains raised up from the ground and strong like iron. It also seemed to flash a vague dark navy color, no where close to a normal human body.
"Haha, I specialize in the Iron skin combat art. Years and years of practicing everyday caused my skin and bones to be as tough as bronze and iron. As long as I have stamina, I am invincible!"
"Die!"
