In the pitch-black night, the carriage carrying He Yishu and Leonardo suddenly halted, and a man jumped down from it.
“Friends from Fog Bang, behind, ” said the man, as distorted energy rose from his body, approaching, “Why have you been following so closely? “
Seeing three faint rings of light appear in the man’s eyes, He Yishu and the other, hidden in the darkness, immediately sensed danger.
“Quick, leave! ” He Yishu took one look at the situation and retreated without the slightest hesitation.
Amade, standing by the carriage, heard the rapid sound of two sets of footsteps retreating diagonally behind him. Seeing this, Bianca Doyle atop the carriage said, “Let’s get going. Better to avoid trouble than to court it.“
But the man, fully shrouded in a black robe, widened his eyes. “No. This matter must leave no witnesses.“
The second faint halo in the man’s eyes glowed dimly.
“Posture Resonance.“
With a soft hum, the faint silhouettes of the two retreating figures appeared in Amade’s mind.
Sensing the rhythm of their movement, Amade smirked slightly. “Just two people who never had any real training.“
As he spoke, fine, dense patterns emerged on his palm. With a subtle glow from the third halo, a miniature projection of an ancient monument stone carving materialized in his hand.
“Capture Data.“
As the bloodline ring power spread, the sounds and visuals he perceived instantly manifested in his palm. “I’m clear now. Wait for me. These two can’t be allowed to live.“
Amade’s figure shot forward like an arrow. From his belt, he pulled out a pair of gloves and slipped them on. The surface of the gloves instantly warped with swirling energy worms, their dense wriggling trails tracing faint arcs of light through the wind as he charged.
“Halt!“
He Yishu turned his head and saw Amade rushing toward him from the rocky street at nearly twice his own speed. His heart jolted in terror.
He had not expected that Yang Zicang would assign a lookout tonight who was a tainted individual with a three-cycle bloodline.
“You, get out of here.” He Yishu shouted to Leonardo beside him.
As he spoke, a faint orange glow erupted from his body, a trace of gravity in his eyes. Bracing himself against the rapidly approaching figure, he pushed off with a step and shot forward like an arrow.
Bang!
The two figures collided in the street. Amadeus’s hands accelerated through the gap of He Yishu’s arm in an instant, landing a fist on his jaw.
The head enveloped in an faint orange glow was momentarily jerked upward by the force of the punch.
“So, this is the kind of riffraff that’s tailing me? Two stinking losers like you! “
At that moment, the dagger gleaming faintly in Leonardo’s hand had already slashed towards Amadeus’s neck. But the man was clearly an experienced fighter; he twisted his head, sidestepping his torso, and while kicking He Yishu away, he thrust his right fist into Leonardo’s shoulder, which was protected only by a weak orange glow.
“Don’t take it head-on! “
｛He Yishu wants to invest 50000N in me.｝
In that split second, the red glow on Leonardo surged and turned an intense orange. The man—clad in the long coat rapidly altered his fist’s trajectory in the limited space, landing a direct blow on Leonardo’s wrist, the one holding the dagger.
｛I offset more than a dozen strikes worth roughly 5000N!｝
Gloves carrying a layer of Stellar Yuan energy, densely packed with writhing worms, twisted and touched onto Leonardo’s wrist, biting and tearing.
｛I have neutralized a total of 65,000N!｝
“Urgh! ” Leonardo’s arm was instantly gnawed into countless pits.
What is that thing!
He Yishu’s eyes revealed an overwhelming terror. This native, who lacked chronological sequence, had smashed him with a single blow of his fist, costing him tens of thousands of sequential powers.
No way, an enemy like this…! He Yishu immediately thought of the key in his hand. He glanced at Leonardo, who was on the ground—he could still go home…
-｛feilü Hotel is witnessing the daily routine of today’s travelers.｝
He Yishu’s eyes suddenly snapped open wide.
Seeing the man raise his fist, poised to deliver a powerful, crushing blow towards the man’s eyes, He Yishu gritted his teeth, flipped over on the ground, and charged off with a kick of his foot. “Ahhh!!! “
His entire body suddenly lunged to hug Amade, who was trying to turn but failing to do so. Because this man’s feet were already locked by Leonardo’s own legs, and his whole face was twisted in pain.
“You go! ” He Yishu shouted loudly.
The gloved fist kept punching down heavily onto him.
“What about you?! ” Leonardo climbed to his feet, eyes wide. This still-unfamiliar “countryman ” was already spitting blood from his mouth.
A thick smoke, scorched by Time Sequence, billowed out from Amad’s body. The man in the long coat pulled his clothing forward, nimbly slipped out of it, and swung a punch.
-｛I tipped 10 N for the key to COSTELLA HOTEL.｝
The energy field began to appear beside He Yishu. Seeing this, Leonardo finally relaxed and bit his lip as he returned to the dock.
“Such a thing exists—what is it? Leave it for me! “
Amade was even more determined now, not daring to let this man escape. He dared not even blink, fearing that in that brief moment of closing his eyes, the man would vanish from sight.
“You wouldn’t understand. “
-｛Distributor February. Di’an is paying attention to my Radiance Prelude event.｝
Bang! Another punch landed on his face. The phantom of a worm instantly wrapped around his skin, slithering downward.
At that very moment, He Yishu’s collar suddenly flipped up beneath his chin. He ducked his head, and his entire figure quickly vanished.
Pfft!
In that final instant, a black blade pierced through the chest of the collapsing coat. A longsword, mixed with blood, punched out through He Yishu’s chest.
A face wearing a top hat emerged from behind He Yishu. “Ha, tailing us. You’re an accomplice of that man covered in burns, right? What’s your treasure? “
One of his hands pierced through He Yishu’s coat from behind, reaching his hand just as it touched a key.
Suddenly, another expanding wave of energy burst forth from the person before him.
｛Trajectory Master!｝
The man in the long hat’s eyes flickered instantly as he rapidly retreated!
In front of him, He Yishu’s body vanished with a whoosh from the spreading energy passage.
“What was that?!“
Amad said in disbelief.
“That, that thing seems to be… no! Both of these things seem to be! Incredibly precious treasures!“
“What?!“
“I think I’ve heard of that key just now, but not sure exactly what it is. But the thing that flashed by just now, pulling a person into some special space — that’s absolutely the item we’ve been searching for! It was right before our eyes!“
Amad’s eyes lit up. “What are you saying? Could it be… that sudden fluctuation of spontaneously radiating light is the Ether Beacon calling card Black Sheep always talked about?“
“Yes!“
