Chapter 145: Branno’s Past (1/2)

Upon hearing this, Shen Cheng spread his palm and said with a faint smile, “I didn’t tell anyone around me about coming here, nor did I report it to the Bio-Scientific Institute.”

“…I believe you,” after a moment of silence, Branno nodded, but the next moment, he turned and said, “However, I still won’t let you find her so easily.”

As he spoke, Branno once again drew a dagger from inside his clothes, his eyes flickering with a faint bloodthirsty red light, “I wonder, after all this time, have you trained well with that gun of yours?”

“You can try,” facing Branno who was ready for battle, Shen Cheng casually flexed his wrists, “Of course, that’s only if you can force me to draw my gun.”

“Arrogant!” At Shen Cheng’s calm words, a fierce expression flashed across Branno’s face. He slightly exerted force with his legs, and in an instant, like an arrow leaving the bow, he charged forward at such speed that it left afterimages in his path.

It was clear that by that time, Branno had already become much more powerful than when he first met Shen Cheng!

If it were the Shen Cheng of the past, he wouldn’t have been a match for Branno. However, now Shen Cheng had grown significantly in strength!

Faced with Branno’s agile movements, akin to a leopard, Shen Cheng’s eyes sparkled as he flipped out a short dagger, swiftly rolling and slashing towards the side.

“Clang—”

Branno’s dagger, carrying the sound of tearing air, clashed with Shen Cheng’s short dagger, shooting sparks. The force transferred from the clash numbed Branno’s hand, almost causing him to lose grip of his dagger.

Branno’s eyes momentarily froze as he felt numbness traveling up his entire arm, utterly shocked.

How long had it been? Could this guy have already injected the Tiger Demi-Humans Genetic Agent?!

As Shen Cheng landed, he gave Branno no time to react. With a sidestep, he flashed to Branno’s side, slashing continuously with his short dagger, creating dazzling patterns in mid-air.

Facing Shen Cheng’s aggressive attack, Branno gritted his teeth, hurriedly dodging. He knew that he couldn’t go head-to-head with Shen Cheng, so he tried to keep his distance.

For Shen Cheng, the most threatening aspect of Branno was his accurate and deadly throwing knives, so he didn’t give Branno the chance to increase the distance. Clinging tightly to Branno as if he had endless energy, he launched a relentless barrage of attacks!

Finally, Shen Cheng seized a moment when Branno was exhausted, using force to knock Branno’s dagger away, followed by a heavy elbow blow to Branno’s chest!

“Cough!!”

Branno felt a cracking sound from his ribs and tasted blood in his throat, spewing a stream of blood as he flew backward.

Until his back collided with a tree trunk, Branno felt his organs churning, his body slowly sliding down the trunk, and his strength seemed to drain away suddenly.

Is this…defeat?

From exchanging blows with Shen Cheng to now, Branno had only been hit directly once. Yet, that single elbow strike left Branno completely drained of strength.

What terrifying strength…

Sighing inwardly, Branno looked at Shen Cheng, who was slowly walking towards him, and grinned, “It’s a pity I didn’t get to see your gun skills, but to be fair, your knife skills are pretty bad.”

After the fight, he could clearly sense that Shen Cheng’s every slash was completely disorganized, relying solely on his physical strength and reflex advantages to overpower him.

In response, Shen Cheng looked down at the short dagger in his hand, feeling the delicate “Su” inscription on the blade, and said, “I don’t really like sharp weapons like blades and swords; I find sticks and staves more suitable for me.”

“Hahaha…” Branno let out a dry laugh, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and looked up into the overhead canopy of branches, “I’m still a bit curious… Could you show me what it’s like when you fire your gun?”
