Powell and Rice let their gazes follow the direction Thomas was pointing in. They were frozen, as if they had been shocked by electricity, and their fear was palpable, as if they had seen a ghost. The color drained from their faces, and in their field off vision they could see a man walking out of the forest with burn wounds and blood covering his entire body. There were bleeding blisters covering his face and arms, as if he were a bloody corpse that had crawled its way out of hell, like he had been skinned alive.

But they could see that the surface wounds were healing quite steadily; the flesh that had been charred fell off on its own and was new flesh grew in its place.

The bloody corpse headed towards them, one foot in front of the other. In this moment, it felt as if the temperature had suddenly plunged to freezing point. As the corpse came closer, his face was almost entirely healed. A dashing face formed, and who was it but Mie, who they wanted to kill?

It was eerie and sinister, as if the gates of hell had opened!

When Xiao Luo made his way to them, all of the burns on his body had been healed by the healing powers of the system. He was topless, only wearing a pair of black military-issued briefs.

It had barely taken him a moment to transform from a horrifying, bloody corpse to a dashing and aloof young man with all his skin and flesh intact, but the horror that this had dealt to the three soldiers was firmly imprinted into their souls.

Just...just what kind of a monster was this?

Powell and Rice were so spooked they were sitting on the floor, unmoving. They raised their heads and looked at Xiao Luo, consumed by their fright.

"Blowing up the entire forest, good move, a f*cking good move this was!"

Xiao Luo laughed coldly. Had he not found himself a gigantic rock to hint under, and were it not for the system's healing ability, his journey might have come to an end here. He had thought of every sort of attack, but this was the only one he did not think the Mei army would have dared pull off. After all, this was tantamount to triggering a war and leaving things up to international opinion. The Mei army should not have resorted to this just to kill him; besides, there had still been thirty, forty other SEAL soldiers in the forest.

"You people from Mei Nation really see yourselves as the top of the world, huh, and you think you can just do as you wish?"

Xiao Luo mocked, and then changed the topic. "Whose idea was it?"

He let his gaze sweep over Powell, Rice and Thomas, a scarlet bloodlust flickering in his gaze.

"It's him, it was his idea, Mr Mie. We...we didn't have anything to do with this..."

Rice and Thomas immediately pointed at Powell. They were trembling in the face of such a supernatural existence, down to their very soles. Rebel? They would end up becoming an international laughing-stock. Even if all the Mei Nation soldiers took part in this, it was likely they would not be able to destroy this man.

Powell's heart lurched. Cold sweat was forming. "Mr Mie, I...I surrender..."

He addressed Xiao Luo respectfully. Now that he had come face to face with absolute power, he was completely subservient. On top of that, there was this rule in war that you did not kill he who surrendered, so he thought this was the best course of action.

"Surrender?"

Xiao Luo looked at Powell as if he were staring at an idiot, and then he said impatiently with a wave of his hand, "Alright then, I accept your surrender. But the Hua Nation's rules of surrender requires you kowtow."

Kowtow?!

Powell was stunned, and also elated. There was nothing more important at this moment than protecting his life.
