Dian Jue was clearly enraged by Fang Xinhan. He then took out a… syringe and jabbed it into his own neck.
〈Item: Inferior Enhancement Potion〉
〈Type: Consumable〉
〈Quality: Common〉
〈Special Effect: After injecting this potion, user's attack power doubles for 300s.〉
〈Side Effect: May lead to mental confusion and a desire for repeated use.〉
(Note: Resist crystal meth, it's everyone's responsibility.)
With his strength greatly increased, Dian Jue charged at Fang Xinhan. Fang Xinhan watched Dian Jue rush towards him and directly swung his blade, forcing him to stop.
At this time, the three behind him weren't just watching either. Scar switched to another firearm and aimed a shot at the shabbily dressed man behind them.
However, Fang Xinhan was even faster and immediately surrounded the man with obsidian.
"Damn it, you guys ambushed me while I wasn't looking!" Fang Xinhan cursed, giving them the middle finger, only for Dian Jue to charge at Fang Xinhan again.
This time, Fang Xinhan didn't block with his blade but instead jumped onto the obsidian, causing Dian Jue to crash into it.
After a loud "Thud!", Dian Jue was knocked out and collapsed to the ground. The other three all raised their hands to their foreheads, indicating they couldn't bear to watch.
"You're pretty tough, huh, to dare to crash into obsidian."
The three opponents didn't give Fang Xinhan much time to retort and immediately launched an attack.
Dian Jue raised his gun and shot at Fang Xinhan. Fang Xinhan hid behind the obsidian. He had no choice; without enchanted projectile protection, he couldn't deflect the bullets with his blade.
Seeing this, Scar motioned for Harley to go and test the opponent's strength.
Harley obediently picked up her baseball bat and walked towards Fang Xinhan. Fang Xinhan, seeing the red dot on the mini-map moving towards him, remained calm. He picked up his fluorescence, activated the Gale Ring's ability, and walked out.
Scar saw Fang Xinhan emerge and immediately aimed for his head and fired, but the bullets all stopped in front of Fang Xinhan.
"Holy crap! He's hacking."
Then, the bullets suspended in mid-air returned along their original path. Shadow reacted immediately, activating a protective barrier to block the bullets.
Scar realized that bullets were useless against Fang Xinhan and immediately stopped shooting. Fang Xinhan also stopped the Gale Ring's ability.
Not because he wasn't afraid of a sneak attack, but mainly because it was expensive.
Harley also saw what just happened. Ranged attacks were useless against him, but from Dian Jue's earlier attack, it seemed only melee could harm him.
So, Harley walked over boldly. Seeing her so leisurely, Fang Xinhan sent an Illusionary Blade her way. She didn't react and took the hit head-on, flying back to her original spot.
Harley struggled to get up, looked at her ripped clothes around her abdomen and a clear blade wound, and her anger flared.
"You actually didn't dodge? I didn't expect you to be a tough nut to crack."
Harley: ...Can I say I didn't react in time?
"You actually dared to ruin my favorite clothes! I'll fight you to the death!"
Harley finished speaking and pulled out a rocket launcher. Fang Xinhan's eyes instantly widened.
"No, how do you guys have that thing?"
Before Fang Xinhan's confusion could be resolved, a rocket came at him. Fang Xinhan used obsidian to block, and the rocket exploded on the obsidian.
"Damn you, blockhead, come over here if you dare!"
Fang Xinhan wasn't going to go. He was just acting on a whim, not stupid. He just needed to wait for the Management Bureau people to arrive.
Shadow and Scar had been observing Fang Xinhan. Seeing him unmoving, they realized he might be stalling for time.
"Damn it, we can't drag this out any longer. The Management Bureau people are coming. Retreat."
Scar made a decisive order to retreat. The experimental subject was protected by the opponent's strange methods and couldn't be killed for a while. As for Dian Jue? He was just a consumable, and the Salvation Society had plenty.
Mission failure meant their Salvation Society stronghold would be exposed. They had to go back and report quickly.
Fang Xinhan saw that the opponents were actually trying to leave, so he used his building staff to block their retreat with obsidian.
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, stay a little longer." Fang Xinhan was basically certain that the opponent's threat level was low, so he became bolder.
Scar saw his escape route blocked and reluctantly pulled out his Bloodthirsty Dagger. He really didn't want to use this weapon; he would fall into a weakened state, and his teammates might not help him.
Seeing the Scar-faced man pull out his weapon, Fang Xinhan was slightly stunned but quickly returned to normal, first sending out an Illusionary Blade to test the waters.
A 'ding' of metal clashing rang out, and Scar blocked Fang Xinhan's Illusionary Blade.
"You can block it?"
Scar quickly charged at him, simultaneously slashing his palm with his blade, and blood flowed into the eye. Scar's aura suddenly changed.
Fang Xinhan raised his fluorescence to block, and then there was a series of 'clanging' sounds of impact. Scar knew that relying solely on his weapon wasn't enough, so he kicked out while Fang Xinhan was swinging his blade.
Fang Xinhan had always maintained his attack distance and immediately accelerated when he saw the kick coming.
A crisp 'crack' of bone breaking sounded as Fang Xinhan's fluorescence hit the opponent's thigh. The opponent was tough, grunting softly, and continued to attack with the Bloodthirsty Dagger.
The two behind them had already begun some kind of magic chant.
Above the sewers at this moment, several black cars stopped, and a man, about 20-30 years old, emerged. He had a cigarette in his mouth and wore a yellow German-style trench coat. One might have thought he was cosplaying Constantine.
"Report, team leader, there are people fighting below." A black-suited agent reported.
"Well, that explains why the sewer exploded for no reason."
This person was Qin An, the leader of the Second Combat Team of the Tianlan City Branch of the Dungeon Game Disaster Management and Security Bureau.
"Come on, let's go down and see." Qin An lifted the manhole cover and walked inside.
Shadow's chant was almost complete, and a magic circle appeared at his feet.
Scar saw this and knew he couldn't delay any longer. He pulled out a pistol and shot at the opponent. Fang Xinhan quickly used his fluorescence to block. Scar stepped into the magic circle at the last second, and with a flash of light, the three figures disappeared together.
"They still ran, but I wasn't really trying to kill them anyway." Fang Xinhan looked at the white dots on the mini-map moving towards him. He then dug open the obsidian and rescued the shabbily dressed man.
After the man briefly described his experience, Fang Xinhan told him that someone would pick him up over there and he just needed to go with them.
Then, Fang Xinhan tied up the very peacefully sleeping Dian Jue on the ground and handed the other end of the rope to the shabbily dressed man.
Finally, Fang Xinhan drank an invisibility potion and left. Since the area was already sealed off, Fang Xinhan activated the Gale Ring and flew upwards for a distance before switching to a hoverboard and flying towards the eastern forest.
Fang Xinhan couldn't go straight home; he had to take a detour to avoid being easily discovered.
When Qin An and his group arrived, they saw signs of a struggle and the shabbily dressed man dragging a guy who looked somewhat like an addict.
"Too late?"
