“Put me down!”
The venomous beauty twisted her body, her full, prominent curves quivering with the motion, making it impossible to look away.
Don’t get the wrong idea.
Li Chi hadn’t done anything untoward.
He’d simply clubbed this villainous beauty over the head, dragged her over, and hung her from the ceiling.
As for that fallen cloth, it was just something that had slipped off when she didn’t pass out properly after the first hit and fought back fiercely.
Helpless, Li Chi had no choice but to give her another whack, which finally made her behave until he could hang her up.
At that moment, the woman who had been making a fuss suddenly went quiet.
Under Li Chi’s puzzled gaze, she spoke up.
“You’re done for. My companion’s here, and you’re no match for him.”
“Oh?”
The corners of Li Chi’s mouth curled up slightly under his mask.
I was wondering why she suddenly went quiet.
So, her backup had arrived.
I knew it! Letting her call for reinforcements was the right move all along!
“Lina, how did you end up hanging from the ceiling?”
A bright male voice reached Li Chi’s ears from not far away.
He didn’t dispel his invisibility.
Instead, he shrank back into a relatively dark spot.
Once Li Chi was hidden, the tuxedo-clad youth approached.
He looked at the venomous beauty hanging from the ceiling, the corners of his mouth curving up as a faint blush tinted his face.
Don’t get the wrong idea—he was just holding back a laugh.
“No laughing!”
The venomous beauty called Lina roared.
The tuxedo youth casually flicked out a short blade, and with a clang!, the five-meter steel chain snapped in the middle.
“Whoa.”
In Li Chi’s view, the short blade sliced through the chain like cutting through cheese—utterly smooth, with maximum visual impact.
“Who’s there!”
Alerted by the noise, the tuxedo youth immediately grew vigilant.
With speed too fast for ordinary eyes to follow, he severed the iron chains binding Lina’s hands.
Once freed, Lina and the tuxedo youth stood back-to-back, on guard against any attack that might come from any direction.
“What the hell happened?”
“Some weirdo barged in.”
Lina gave the tuxedo youth an extremely concise summary of the events.
The tuxedo youth furrowed his brows.
“A purple-black beast-shaped armored monster… Does it look like this?”
He pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lina.
“Uh… Who gave you this?”
Lina looked at the crude sketch in her hand.
While some of the obvious features matched, the overall art style was… hard to describe.
“The Doctor did it herself.”
“…”
“Uh… Gotta say, all the right features are there, and the recognition is pretty high.”
“Alright, alright. You can’t even flatter properly, and the Doctor’s not even here.”
Lina was momentarily speechless.
From her attitude and actions, this tuxedo-clad man seemed to be her superior.
A big fish, huh?
Li Chi was particularly excited.
Under normal circumstances, without knowing the opponent’s strength, one wouldn’t act rashly.
But Li Chi was different.
He was a hot-blooded teen at heart, and with Li Guang probably arriving in a few minutes, he decided to strike first.
He twisted the Fighter Grip.
His legs powered up and stomped the ground hard.
His transparent form, catching just a bit of light, instantly turned into a streak of light.
Severing Technique!
Going all out right from the start—this was his signature style.
The tuxedo-clad man, still chatting with Lina, suddenly felt a chilling dread run down his spine.
In a panic, he whipped out a cloak from thin air, pulled Lina close, and the cloak enveloped them completely. In the next instant, the two vanished from the spot.
The menacing Severing Technique sliced through the cloak.
Its overwhelming force even twisted the surrounding air.
The thin cloak was torn into shreds, scattering everywhere.
“Damn, that’s ruthless…”
The tuxedo youth looked at his beloved cloak with heartache. It was his trump card, something he only used when his life was on the line.
But he didn’t feel it was a loss, because in that instant, he’d sensed the threat of death.
The tuxedo youth believed that if that strike had hit him directly, it would have torn him in half.
Still, that move gave him some confidence.
From the power of that technique, he could infer it was one of Omega’s ultimate moves. And since he’d used it right at the start and missed, he’d surely be at a disadvantage now.
I don’t believe you can fire off a second finisher in a row.
But Omega’s next action left him dumbfounded.
Omega’s gauntleted hand twisted the Fighter Grip again. His crimson compound eyes flashed with an eerie glow.
Severing Technique! Second shot!
???
Dude, don’t you have a cooldown on your ult?!
The moment Omega charged, the tuxedo youth saw his death star flashing wildly above his head.
But then came the twist. Something strange happened again.
Right in the center where the tuxedo youth and Omega were about to clash, the space suddenly began to warp. Black mist, invisible to ordinary people, gathered from all directions and coalesced.
This was the sign of a monster’s birth—
Immediately after, the black mist began to take physical form. A blurry black mass rapidly grew into a humanoid shape.
It all happened in an instant—the black mist had fully transformed into a monster.
The tuxedo youth looked at the newly formed monster before him with a complex expression, feeling rather conflicted.
This was the real purpose of Lina and the tuxedo youth’s visit, and also the target for Li Guang and Chi Zaozao.
A growth-type base-form monster!
Too bad the poor thing had just said hello to the world and was about to say goodbye.
Slice—!
Terrifying blades sliced through its body, and Omega cut the monster in half at the waist.
Fortunately, it wasn’t completely useless. At the very least, this newborn monster had blocked a fatal blow for the two cadres, saving their lives.
Just as the tuxedo youth breathed a sigh of relief, under his horrified gaze, Omega twisted the Fighter Grip once more.
“Not you again, bro! Don’t you have any mana?!”
Where’s the cooldown? The mana bar? Did you eat them all?!
This time, it was really over—
But then, another twist appeared.
A voice filled with magical power suddenly echoed in Li Chi’s mind. He felt the raging flames of battle in his heart gradually extinguishing, his fighting spirit sinking lower.
“Wait!”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“Have you had enough?!”
Li Chi was annoyed. This was the third time! Every single time, his ultimate move was inexplicably interrupted!
Are these twists sold in bulk?!
The factory ceiling suddenly burst open with a large hole. A delicate little loli dressed as a nun descended from above, landing right between the three of them.
With her petite body, she shielded the two trembling figures behind her. The aura she emanated was like that of a large predator protecting its young.
The two sides faced off for a moment. During this time, neither made any unnecessary moves.
After a while, the nun loli examined Li Chi’s appearance. Relying on her sixth sense, she inferred that his age wasn’t very old.
Then, what the little loli said left everyone dumbfounded.
“Young man, I see your bones are extraordinary. Would you be interested in joining our Dark Organization?”
“…”
Li Chi was genuinely stunned for a moment. He suspected he’d misheard, so he asked again, “What did you say your organization is called?”
The loli replied expressionlessly.
“The Dark Organization. Is there a problem?”
“…You guys can’t even be bothered to put on a show anymore, huh?”
