Chapter 795: Chapter 40: Kill Those Two Mobile Cavalry

Asgard immediately said to the stranger behind her, "Don’t come any closer!"

Actually, even up to this moment, Asgard had not understood what Jeanne was afraid of. In her view, the biggest threat on their side had been the Rangers, and now that the Rangers were being hunted down, that should have been a good thing.

It didn’t matter if the person who killed the Ranger wasn’t a Hero or from the Neutral City-State.

Based on this thought, she didn’t react too drastically but rather raised her pistol at the Martial Artist, "One more step and you are the enemy."

The Martial Artist stopped there, sizing up Asgard and Jeanne.

Then, with a distinctly unfriendly tone, he asked, "You two, are you Rangers?"

"What?"

Asgard blinked slightly. She knew her lengthy Ranger training had shaped her character, and her behavior still revealed a hint of a "Ranger" temperament. She also knew that those who had highly developed Inner Strength could discern this.

Moreover, she knew that this city was very hostile towards Rangers.

But she had never expected to be recognized here.

Normally, Rangers’ missions involved infiltrating the Jianghu. Without exceptional Inner Strength, it was not possible to "read" these behavioral habits through psychological profiling.

—What’s going on... This guy is an Internal Strength Master...

As soon as she said this, several pedestrians looked their way.

"We are not Rangers..."

"As if Rangers would admit it!" charged the Martial Artist, "Accept your fate, government’s lapdogs!"

Saying this, he drew a dagger and rushed towards Asgard.

Asgard knew that firing her gun at this moment would escalate the tension between her and the bystanders, so she lowered the muzzle simultaneously jumping backward, shouting loudly, "We really aren’t..."

In that instant, Jeanne, as if guided by some unknown force, reached out and touched Asgard’s shoulder. In a moment of mingled forces, Asgard spun her body.

Then she dodged a leg strike that came from below by the unknown Martial Artist.

The high-frequency wave dagger in the Martial Artist’s hand was just for show. His Leg Technique was tricky; he intentionally kicked from a blind spot when coming closer, aiming to strike Asgard’s head and then move behind her to clamp her neck with his joint.

The following move was supposed to be the Mech-Breaking Martial Arts aimed at dislocating the neck.

Jeanne, supporting Asgard’s upper body, leaned forward simultaneously, using Clever Force to push the Martial Artist away. The Martial Artist lost control of his balance, retreating three steps back.

Jeanne looked surprisingly at her own hand, seemingly shocked by the martial intricacy in that push.

Asgard shot at the opponent’s feet, shouting indignantly, "You start with killing moves? Even if you really suspected us, shouldn’t you have asked first?"

"Rangers deserve death!" the man sneered.

"Well said! There’s no need for fair play against the Imperial Court’s Houndhawks—let’s join forces!"

Since ancient times, the "Jianghu code" has been "no holds barred when fighting the Imperial Hounds."

As these words were spoken, the crowd seemed ready to stir. It appeared as if several people were emerging from the shadows.

"Hey, aren’t you going to reason anymore?" Asgard was puzzled, "Are you all insane? Huh? We are not Rangers!"

Jeanne tugged at her, "Run!"

She had already realized that these guys were members of the Six Dragons Sect.

Rangers were often suspected of their identities. The instructional manuals from those years contained several counter-tactics, but it was rare to encounter a situation where someone would "identify you as a ranger and then attack without a second word."

Rangers were adept at imitating Heroes, and if doubts led to confrontation, then Heroes would inevitably kill many of their own.

But if before a gathering activity of Heroes, everyone went to great lengths and expended manpower to eliminate Rangers, then the existence of this troop was meaningful enough.

The resources of the Heroes were already at a disadvantage.

King Aqini was trying to deal with the Heroes using the same strategy Martial Ancestor used against highly organized societies. It had some effects, but the Guerrilla Team structure of the Heroes was quite resistant to this approach.

This method of attacking without a word didn’t make sense.

Clearly, the Six Dragons Sect intended to silence her.

At this point, nothing said would be of any use.

Until now, Jeanne had not discerned the basic structure of the Six Dragons Sect. As of now, within the armed personnel of the Six Dragons Sect, there certainly existed some characters who were not very strong and took on basic support and fire suppression roles. However, the level of "Banner Leader" was generally higher than the average Ranger, and some "Banner Leaders" were even on par with mid-level officers.

It was said that there were positions higher than Banner Leader, but Jeanne had never seen them.

This squad from the Six Dragons Sect was formidable in itself, almost comparable to an equal number of Rangers. There might even be a master above the First Heavenly Layer hidden amongst them.

These were not enemies that Jeanne and her companions could handle at this stage.

While Asgard loudly proclaimed he was not a Ranger, he shot at the opponent’s feet with a pistol. The local residents around also felt this scene was eerie and didn’t directly intervene.

The two of them ran through the crowd like this. Two members of the Six Dragons Sect tried to intercept them from the front, but were easily taken down by Jeanne and Asgard.

Before arriving, Jeanne had already planned the escape routes based on publicly available maps. At this moment, they needed to find a way to shake off the pursuit, leave the area, and ideally rendezvous with people from the Hermo Association.

—Hurry... hurry...

The two former Rangers exerted their movement technique to the utmost, only wanting to leave this inexplicable place as soon as possible.

—It was just a hunt for traces of Rangers hunting others... Why did it turn into a scene of the Six Dragons Sect hunting Rangers? Why were they targeted by the Six Dragons Sect? Have the Six Dragons Sect realized that I am opposing them on Mars? That shouldn’t be...

—What exactly caused us to be hunted down...

Jeanne rapidly pondered in her mind.

Then, suddenly, Asgard threw a punch, knocking Jeanne against the wall.

Jeanne adjusted her posture in mid-air, planting her feet on the metal wall surface, and shouted angrily, "You..."

A dark shadow flew past her face. That was Asgard’s arm.

The silvery flash blended seamlessly with the surrounding environment. It was a Magnetic Chain weapon. It launched from Jeanne’s blind spot, targeting her.

Since just now, Asgard had kept his laser vibration sensing active for different orientations, so he detected the anomaly first.

Asgard’s arm collided with the Magnetic Chain weapon, and then the weapon violently contracted, evenly driving the power of the electromagnetic gun into every blade, slicing into Asgard’s External Armor and then tearing off half of his arm.

Asgard lost his balance entirely, while on the ground, there were two snake-like Magnetic Chain weapons.
