Chapter 390: Unexpected Ambush! (1/2)
“The Price of Blood!” shouted the guy who had conjured the barrier. His hat flashed, and five scarlet silk threads shot into the bodies of his team members.
The next second, the three frozen in mid-air broke free from Bai Ye’s control. At a close range, Bai Ye clearly saw that their eyes were blood-shot. The buff skill just now was definitely not something good but was scarily effective in boosting strength. It allowed the barrier man to forcefully skyrocket them to the Master Rank!
“Back!” Launching a defensive ability, the first person who landed punched at Bai Ye’s shoulder.
Having no intention to pursue the fight, Bai Ye used the opponent’s force to fly out of the battle range. However, the next person who landed raised their hands towards him and a light circle glowed in between, from which countless light arrows shot out.
“Fair Replacement, Strong Shield!” Chu Yue behind acted, his target this time being Bai Ye, who was unable to dodge. A huge energy shield rose in front of Bai Ye and blocked the arrows.
“You can’t choose two people at the same time, can you?! Open Mountain!” At the same time as Chu Yue rescued Bai Ye, the opponent captain suddenly moved in an unimaginable burst of speed. His long staff glowed a blood-red color, different from the puppet level, as he slammed it down on Chu Yue’s head with terrifying power.
At that moment, Qin Lingyan was unable to lend a hand as the last opponent found her right after landing. Although this person had no offensive ability, they were a puppet master proficient in super restrictive defensive ability.
“Starnet Brilliance!”
Everyone else was fighting, but Bai Xiaofei had been so idle that it hurt. In a swift slide, he got in front of Chu Yue with a golden light barrier around him. Then, the supposedly fatal blow of the enemy captain hit his hand without any damage.
The second second of Starnet Brilliance, he grabbed the captain’s long staff and yanked it. The captain lost his center of gravity and was pulled towards him.
In the third second, with origin energy resonance plus the force of Devouring the Heavens and Earth, Bai Xiaofei turned his body and punched into the captain’s back, smashing him to the ground.
When the golden light disappeared, Bai Xiaofei ruthlessly twisted the captain’s arms and disconnected their joints.
“Stop, or the next thing twisted will be his neck!” shouted Bai Xiaofei as he dragged up the captain who had lost all ability to resist.
The remaining four people immediately stopped attacking. Soon after, the scarlet lights on them faded, and their faces turned a lifeless pale. Sure enough, the barrier man’s assistance was not a good thing. It forcefully exchanged their vitality for a short-term power-up. There was no suspense to victory as soon as Bai Xiaofei’s group resisted the first wave of attacks.
“You will regret this!” the captain, weakened and sweating profusely due to pain, said coldly. He refused to admit defeat despite his team losing the battle.
“That’s my business to care, not yours.” Bai Xiaofei smiled, not taking the captain’s cruel words to heart. He gestured to Bai Ye, and the enemy team was once again tied up under Bai Ye’s control.
“We were very close to delivering the Bright Road Merchant House’s item. You are ruining the mission by doing this!” the captain gritted his teeth and spat.
“Sorry, the item you got isn’t the item to be transported but just bait. A bait especially prepared for the big fish who was hiding among us,” said Bai Xiaofei indifferently. The captain’s heart tightened.
“What do you mean?!
“Literally, of course. Why, taking your spy job for the Thunderstorm Bandits so seriously that you forgot your real identity?” Bai Xiaofei said seriously, looking as if he was absolutely certain of the accuracy of his words.
