"You..." Chen Xiao gasped for breath, "Why didn't you make a move just now? You... all of you together. If you had attacked together, I wouldn't have had a chance at all!"
"Why should I intervene?" The ghost glanced indifferently at the towering pile of collapsed ruins beside it. "It's not worth my time to help such a brainless idiot."
Alice walked over slowly, but stood respectfully behind the ghost. She only occasionally raised her head, her eyes sweeping over Chen Xiao with a hint of malice and hatred.
“Your abilities are quite diverse, but you’ve shown me an interesting direction: combining multiple abilities together can have unexpected effects.”
The ghost "stared" at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao squinted, trying to lock onto his opponent with his remaining mental energy... but when his mental energy probed forward, it seemed to be nothing but empty space!
This guy is clearly standing right in front of me, but my mental probe leaves absolutely no trace of him!
"Don't waste your energy." The ghost chuckled mockingly. "My ability is spatial manipulation! If I wanted to, there are very few things in the world that could lock onto me—at least you can't right now."
As he spoke, he seemed to sigh, "It's really a dilemma... I originally wanted to kill you. But now it seems you're quite an interesting toy, and taking you back might be more useful... However, I promised this little venomous snake I'd take your life..."
"You...you can't let him go! He killed Boss Qiu Yun!" Alice's expression changed slightly.
"Qiu Yun?" The ghost's voice was laced with disdain: "That kind of trash, let him die. Is it worth wasting such a valuable individual on a dead person? What a laughable display of revenge!"
After saying that, he actually took another step forward: "Kid, come back with me! Haha!"
Just as the opponent was about to reach him, Chen Xiao suddenly raised his finger, and a pile of pebbles shot out from the ground...
This was truly his last ounce of strength.
But before the rubble could reach him, the guy's body vanished into thin air again...
The next instant, a voice came from behind Chen Xiao: "Interesting little guy, I love your fierce look. I think... I could train you into a little wolfhound. That's much more interesting than this stupid ox and a little poisonous snake!" Chen Xiao snorted. His mind raced, but he couldn't come up with a single solution.
finally……
"Did they even ask us old folks before taking our agent away?"
A hearty laugh came from the street!
On the street, the flames of the burning car had not yet died down. Behind the flames, Lao Tian's figure slowly walked step by step.
He was wearing a mechanic's uniform, his face smudged with engine oil, but in his hand he was carrying... a gleaming, ancient-looking longsword!
"Long time no see, Yaksha!"
Old Tian smiled faintly, his eyes fixed on the ghost: "You've come to K City, how come you didn't even say hello to your old friends? That's a bit unreasonable!"
After a pause, Old Tian's voice carried a hint of mockery: "After all these years, why do you still dress like a ghost... I have to say, your taste hasn't improved at all!"
Then, another voice came, this time it was Gonggong!
At the other end of the street, Gonggong's imposing figure slowly emerged from the shadows: "Old Tian, I told you long ago, this guy is probably related to a mummy. I've never seen anyone not change their clothes for decades—except him!"
As he spoke, Gonggong stood at a distance and nodded to Chen Xiao, his eyes warm: "Chen Xiao, how are you? You're not dead, are you?"
Old Tian chuckled, "We were playing cards when suddenly the detector radar went off incessantly. We thought some guy had come to K City on business and was making such a commotion. You really are a messy, incompetent mummy, aren't you? Humph..."
With a slight twitch, the longsword swished...
A chilling sword light suddenly burst forth from the blade!
The ghost remained silent, listening to Lao Tian and Gong Gong's back-and-forth conversation. After listening, he lowered his head as if thinking for a moment, then raised his head and sneered.
"You surnamed Tian? And you, you henpecked husband... Haha! You two want to stand up for me? Don't forget! It's nighttime! At night, you're no match for me!"
Chapter Ninety-Nine: [Wasn't that too direct?]
"Oh, really?"
Old Tian raised an eyebrow: "But, Yaksha, haven't you noticed something's wrong? We always go out in groups of three, but now..."
Yaksha snorted, his body flashing several times before finally landing atop a large tree. Standing there, he looked down at Lao Tian and Gonggong at either end of the street: "Not bad, where's that Flame Woman?"
"I'm here!"
From the rooftop came Zhu Rong's voice. Zhu Rong stood on the roof of a building, one foot on the eaves, a cigarette between her fingers. After taking a puff, she flicked her finger, and the cigarette butt slowly fell from the top. Zhu Rong turned around, and behind her, a fat man was frantically lifting a black oilcloth off a metal frame.
"Fatty! The wire!" Zhu Rong gave the order quickly. The poor fat man scrambled to his feet, grabbing one end of the wire and rushing down.
"Yaksha, look what this is!"
Zhu Rong rotated the large, round lamp on the metal frame so that it was facing downwards...
"A simulated solar searchlight!" Zhu Rong laughed smugly. "Since we knew it was you, how could we not have prepared?"
Finally, the fat man behind shouted, "Grandma, the wires are connected!"
Bang!
The searchlights suddenly blazed on! A beam of light shone down from the rooftop, instantly enveloping the Yaksha!
Yaksha cried out in alarm, his voice tinged with fear and pain. His body vanished instantly, reappearing several meters away. He looked up and roared angrily at the rooftop, "You lot were here all along, weren't you? Deliberately watching this kid get beaten up while hiding behind and preparing?!"
"You've wronged us." Old Tian slowly walked over, his sword pointing at Yaksha. "Luckily, when I went back to the island last time, I bought a large detection radar at a high price and installed it at home. From now on, whenever there are superhumans using their powers in this city, we'll be able to sense it very quickly! Tonight, we sensed that it was you, so of course we've prepared the special equipment to deal with you!"
Zhu Rong, watching the Yaksha below, immediately swung his searchlight. The massive beam of light caught up with the Yaksha once more. The Yaksha sounded somewhat panicked, and his body vanished again. However, Zhu Rong's eyesight was extremely sharp. The Yaksha teleported several times in quick succession, whether leaping into trees, onto windowsills, or landing on the road. Zhu Rong could quickly spot him and then swung his searchlight to pursue him!
The Yaksha seemed genuinely afraid of the searchlight's beam. After being cornered by Zhu Rong three times, he finally lost his temper and became enraged. With a swift movement, he appeared instantly in front of Zhu Rong on the rooftop!
"Aha, mummy, you're attacking me directly?" Zhu Rong laughed loudly, flipping his hand and instantly conjuring a fireball in his palm! Then he shot it towards the Yaksha with a whoosh! The Yaksha's body dodged repeatedly, and Zhu Rong fired more than a dozen fireballs, all of which missed their mark!
