Aili?
How could it be Aili?
Fang Xin leaned forward again, looking at the figure through the windshield.
Fang Xin and Aili had fought side-by-side before.
Although they weren't extremely familiar with each other...
Fang Xin at least knew her appearance very well.
At this moment, the person blocking the road in the middle, riding a Three-Headed Dog, looked exactly like Aili.
The Three-Headed Dog was entirely black.
Its massive heads rotated.
As a rumbling, threatening sound came from its throat, fangs and sharp teeth protruded from its mouth, and its six crimson eyes stared over here.
The left head's mouth and nose exhaled frost with bursts of cold air, while the right head's nostrils spewed out rolling thick smoke with sparks.
The middle head looked very rigid, staring motionless at Fang Xin's side.
Space seemed to be frozen at this moment.
The figure on the Three-Headed Dog's back stared at Fang Xin.
A tender white hand gently patted the Three-Headed Dog beneath her.
Then, the Three-Headed Dog let out a roar.
The sound was terrifying, like thunder.
It came from the middle head, and the sound waves seemed to have become substantial at this moment.
The car was slowly pushed backward by the sound waves.
Only then did they realize that the Three-Headed Dog's middle head was for mental attack.
The Three-Headed Dog's other two heads, almost one after the other, spewed out pillars of fire and ice.
Cold and hot air mixed together; visibility was already very low, and at this moment, with the two alternating hot and cold currents, visibility was almost zero, and outside the window, it instantly became pitch black.
The car's display emitted an alarm.
"Xin Ge, this Three-Headed Dog has a tenth-tier combat power! And each of its heads can unleash tenth-tier combat power. Our car can only withstand one tenth-tier attack at a time. If this continues, we can only withstand three attacks at most!" Shen Yu turned his head and said to Fang Xin.
Bai Yulin stared out the window, "Why don't we turn back the way we came!"
The car reversed and suddenly jolted.
"The road behind the car has been twisted into a chasm by an Awakened with an earth-attribute talent!"
Bai Yulin pulled out a sniper rifle from his spatial ring, "Our route changed. How did they know we were taking this route?"
"Is there another mole?"
The thought also flashed through Fang Xin's mind. The route had changed, so how did the other party know to block them on this route?
But Ren Ling had clearly heard everyone's inner thoughts when they were at the service area just now.
Fang Xin stared at Ren Ling, "Did you read everyone's inner thoughts just now?"
Ren Ling's face was pale from the current commotion, and she quickly nodded.
"I did! Everyone else was fine!"
Fang Xin suddenly realized a problem: if someone knew Ren Ling's talent in advance and deliberately altered their inner thoughts, wouldn't they be able to completely evade Ren Ling's observation?
In the mission brief before coming, there was no mention of Ren Ling's talent.
In other words, the only people who knew Ren Ling's talent were the few who went to pick her up at the time.
Fang Xin immediately thought of someone.
Creak! Creak!
The car began to deform under the combined assault of heatwave and cold air.
The car windows also emitted fine cracking sounds under the attack of the sound waves.
Clang!
A loud noise came from outside the car window; it seemed someone wanted to smash through the car window on Ren Ling's side.
Ren Ling was scared stiff at this point, and she directly burrowed into Fang Xin's arms, grabbing onto him like a Ba Zhua Yu and refusing to let go.
"Why are you holding me so tight? How am I supposed to fight?"
Ren Ling's voice trembled, and she said in a terrified tone, "I... I'm scared!"
Fang Xin comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay! I'm scared too!"
Ren Ling was speechless for a moment.
Bai Yulin turned his head and asked, "Xin Ge! Can we still summon Sixth Brother Hua!"
"No!"
Bai Yulin rubbed his nose with his finger, "It seems our three brothers are going to fall here today!"
Fang Xin turned his body to face the car window where the collision sound came from.
He could vaguely see that the person smashing the window was the one who looked exactly like Aili.
The opponent had a tenth-tier combat power Three-Headed Dog, and Su Ben, Fang Xin's highest combat power, was currently tied up.
In this mission, escorting Ren Ling was one part, and using Ren Ling as bait to draw out the mole was the second part.
He hadn't expected these people to be so persistent; they came once before and now again. How could the other party not be another case of 'the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind'?
Clang!
Crack!
The car window was violently elbowed open.
The figure stood outside the window.
At close range, Fang Xin saw the opponent's face even more clearly.
She looked almost identical to Aili.
But at the extremely close distance between them, Fang Xin found a difference between the two.
Aili's eyes were ice blue.
However, the person in front of him, who looked exactly like Aili...
Her eyes were red.
Their temperaments were also different.
Aili's temperament was gentler, while the person in front of him had a colder temperament, more like a cold-blooded killer.
A possibility instantly flashed through Fang Xin's mind.
A long time ago, Aili had said...
Her parents had also been in a car accident.
And she had a twin sister who was abducted by human traffickers and whose whereabouts were still unknown.
Fang Xin suddenly connected another incident.
Aili's parents were doctors, quite accomplished in the medical field. Fang Xin's parents were scientists, and Ren Ling's father also had achievements in the scientific field.
Red-Eyed Aili outside smashed open the car window, pulled open the car door, and with incredible speed, reached for Ren Ling.
Fang Xin, quick-witted, grabbed Ren Ling's arm, and relying on his Mangfu talent for great strength, the moment he pulled Ren Ling, he also reached out and grabbed Red-Eyed Aili's wrist, yanked hard, and pulled her into the car.
Red-Eyed Aili was incredibly fast. Knowing that her strength was no match for the Mangfu talent, she lifted her leg, and the heel of her high-heeled boot kicked towards Fang Xin's face.
Her movements were incredibly smooth; she wouldn't be this fast, fierce, and accurate without countless real combat experiences.
Fang Xin turned his head and leaned forward, directly putting Red-Eyed Aili's leg on his shoulder, twisted Red-Eyed Aili's arm, pulled her into the car, and then pressed her onto the back seat.
The two were locked in a strange and awkward position in the back row.
Murderous intent surged in Red-Eyed Aili's crimson eyes.
Her other hand spun a butterfly knife and stabbed towards Fang Xin's neck.
Fang Xin freed an elbow and smashed it over. At close range, a Strength-based fighter would have an advantage as long as they were close. Fang Xin pinned Red-Eyed Aili's arms.
"You were abducted by human traffickers years ago! Your parents are doctors, and you have a twin sister, don't you?"
Red-Eyed Aili paused for a moment, but quickly began to struggle again. Fang Xin felt his hands empty as Red-Eyed Aili instantly teleported to the other side of the car's back seat, smashed open the window, and tried to pull Ren Ling out.
Fang Xin's large hand gripped the back of Ren Ling's clothes and pulled her back, roughly yanking Ren Ling back. Just as he was about to teleport out to capture Red-Eyed Aili alive...
Mist surged behind Red-Eyed Aili.
The Three-Headed Dog stood behind her, its six crimson eyes staring at Fang Xin.
Red-Eyed Aili's expression was cold. She spoke for the first time, uttering only two faint words.
"Kill them all!"
Fang Xin held the Rewind Treasure Mirror in his hand, staring at Red-Eyed Aili, "See you later."
Behind him, the Three-Headed Dog's left head let out a muffled growl from its throat and spoke in human language, "You bold lecher, how dare you grope my young mistress!"
The right head angrily echoed, "How dare you grope her!"
The left head angrily rebuked, "You even dared to put my young mistress's leg on your shoulder! I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing!"
The right head echoed, "Wouldn't even dare to dream!"
The left head opened its mouth, and cold air condensed within its wide maw, "You dog! We must kill you to avenge my young mistress!"
The right head was like a broken record, "Must avenge her!"
Fang Xin smiled at the Three-Headed Dog again, "Sorry! I'm a cheater! You can't kill me!"
"What the hell?! I'll let you show off!"
"I'll let you show off!"
Ice and fire traversed the void.
The car directly softened and deformed.
After everything ceased.
The original spot was empty.
Fang Xin disappeared from the spot.
