These gang mbers following the Bloodhand Brotherhood must have never imagined that the reinforcents they were hoping for were destined never to arrive.
Without any warning, Jiu’er leaped high into the air, not even uttering a harsh word, and like a teor, she crashed thunderously into the crowd—
The tall man in the front was caught sowhat off guard by this.
With no ti to spare, he could only lift the table beside him, confronting Jiu’er with it.
But the Battle Axe, entwined with black and red blood energy, effortlessly shattered the table raised like a shield, cleaving through the skull hidden behind it as well.
"You bastard—!"
The man, looking drunk and with a crimson body, suddenly beca enraged.
They no longer waited for support to arrive, but instead attacked without a second word.
Three people aid their shotguns, two pulled out handguns and began loading bullets. One person spun a throwing axe and hurled it, landing on Jiu’er’s left shoulder, embedding itself and spattering blood.
Two stealthy figures stepped back into the darkness... while the leader exhaled a puff of white mist, filling the air with the sll of sulfur.
He must be the only one among this group who had gained the power of a demon, a fallen one.
The others were at best only Bronze tier—
Jiu’er quickly assessed the strengths and weaknesses of friend and foe.
The next mont, the muscular man with crimson skin launched a punch at Jiu’er through the air!
His blood, like sharp needles, pierced the skin on the back of his own left hand, turning into scorching sparks flying towards Jiu’er.
Jiu’er paid no attention to the throwing axe embedded in her shoulder.
She pulled the axe from her shoulder with her right hand and rapidly retreated. With her left hand, she lifted the black and red Battle Axe in front of her, casually blocking the fiery needles erupting from the burning blood.
The attacks that appeared as tiny sparks, when they landed on Jiu’er’s Battle Axe, did not extinguish.
One could clearly see that these were structured like bee stingers—black needles with barbs. And every needle burned steadily with a dark red fla, scorching Jiu’er’s Battle Axe, emitting a foul sll.
—Just like the burning of rubber.
And as Jiu’er retreated, she threw the flying axe back.
The flying axe did not hit the person who had thrown it, but it did knock down soone next to him who was loading bullets.
Having retreated from the crowd, Jiu’er again had the distance to charge.
She stepped forward on the spot, using the inertia to fling her Battle Axe forward—as if completing a Full Force Strike. She hamred the axe towards the "elite monster" already capable of using the power of the fallen.
The man just snorted coldly, as purple veins abruptly erged on his right arm. With the sweat like blood oozing out, his clothes burned fiercely, turning into toxic flas.
He had seen clearly now—
The one opposite him was just a kid.
His right arm burned fiercely, swelling to three tis its size.
The bulky and crimson right arm, its knuckles becoming extrely thick, grew a layer of hard, red keratin on its skin.
His right arm, nearly finished mutating, was already impervious to blades and spears. rely by extending it in front of him, it beca a huge and impenetrable shield.
Not to ntion a human head—he could even hold the blade of a Greatsword in his hand and crush it.
This was a demon-like grasping attack!
He tried to catch Jiu’er’s strike—and disarm her with it!
But just at that mont.
His body suddenly stiffened.
"—[Don’t move]!"
With a cold and authoritative shout, an invisible power spread like soothing lightning throughout his body, slowing his movents for a mont.
It was just over a second of control.
But it was this brief mont of control that prevented him from catching Jiu’er’s "Full Force Strike" with the palm of his hand.
Jiu’er, exerting force from her waist all the way through her entire body, twirled her small fra along with the much larger Battle Axe as if it were a top.
Rather than cutting down, it was more like she hurled it out.
The fully charged axe ca crashing down, and Jiu’er was catapulted into the air!
With Jiu’er’s adjustnt, it precisely struck the connection between the index and middle fingers of the demon’s giant hand and the back of the hand.
The two demon fingers, each thicker than Jiu’er’s waist, were brutally chopped off by her.
"Save , Gang!"
Jiu’er let out a piercing scream.
"—Then you! [Dodge]!"
With Lin Yiyi’s shout.
Jiu’er’s body moved on its own, an invisible force deflecting her to the side.
And from behind her, the sprinting Lin Yiyi, holding a silver mithril staff wrapped with curse runes, sprang forth agilely like a dragon.
Her movent was silent and swift—as she moved, the storm that ensued blew her black hair back, revealing her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Her fine steel staff was coiled in the crook of her arm, reaching forward as she moved at high speed.
Lin Yiyi, like a high-speed train, ca to an abrupt and silent stop in front of the fallen enemy.
All the kinetic energy was transferred to the staff in her hands.
——Full Force Strike!
This was a technique that maintained precision during a high-speed sprint. It was also the evolved skill after Full Force Strike reached its maximum level.
The mont she ca to a sudden halt,
the staff thrusting forward was like a bladeless dagger, or a spear without its spearhead. Under the faintest of rotational vibrations, it bore all the energy of her charge and struck the most formidable enemy on the first floor!
It rested on the massive hand that Jiu’er had chopped two fingers off of, sparking a shower of sparks, and with a buzzing high-speed vibration, it stabbed precisely into the forehead of the elite fallen.
If it had been a spear, this one blow would have been powerful enough to pierce through the fallen’s skull and explode it.
But it was a solid steel staff.
There was only a muffled sound, like that of a massive weight being smashed to the ground.
The head of the elite fallen unnaturally bent backward, and blood gushed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. The re recoil made the steel staff rub against Lin Yiyi’s palm, heating it up.
"He’s not going to have his brains hamred out, is he..."
Jiu’er whispered softly as she rushed in front of Lin Yiyi to shield her from a wave of shotgun bullets.
These lead bullets couldn’t even penetrate Jiu’er’s body.
Under the propulsion of her writhing, lively muscles, they were soon pushed out one by one and fell to the ground.
She even had the leisure to chat, "Looks like this one’s an elite monster. Aren’t we keeping a live one?"
As Jiu’er spoke, she casually swung her battle axe, slicing in half an ambusher that had pounced from Lin Yiyi’s side.
"Nag!"
Lin Yiyi snapped in annoyance, "I used rciful Strike! The skill feedback told it was a success!"
"...Are you Batman or sothing? Just because you say you don’t kill people, they won’t die even if a car hits them at full speed?"
Jiu’er looked incredulous.
That person’s brains were nearly hamred out—how could he still be alive...
"Maybe he has a good constitution... Actually, I didn’t really expect to spare his life either. But my skill told that rciful Strike was activated successfully."
Lin Yiyi was also sowhat uncertain, "Seems like I need to level up this move a few more tis. Level three is still not too safe... Stop babbling, and block the bullets for !"
"—You’re the tank!!! I’m the DPS, sister!"
Jiu’er complained loudly but still stood in front of Lin Yiyi to absorb another wave of damage for her.
Lin Yiyi also had a face as if she had eaten sothing disgusting, "Then what do I do, I can’t parry these bullets..."
"You spin it, spin it! The ding-ding-dang-dang kind!"
"Let it be, they can’t kill you..."
Lin Yiyi still hesitated.
As an agility-based defense warrior, she was adept at parrying lee attacks and Parrying Arrows.
But as for bullets...
However, the next mont, several black orbs suddenly rolled on the ground, tumbling over.
With a thunderous explosion, the massive sound made the walls shake—those fallen resting upstairs would inevitably rush down no matter what.
But Lin Yiyi was not in a hurry.
On the contrary, she showed a look of relief, "You’re finally back, little brother!"
"...Sis, you guys are really embarrassing."
The latecor from the Four Dark Cards donned black fingerless leather gloves and walked in with disdain, "Do you guys even know how to assassinate?
"Co on, let show you what a real assassination is!"
As he spoke, he pressed his gloved left hand to the ground.
Seeing that things were going south, Lin Yiyi and Jiu’er turned their heads to run.
He closed his eyes as the silver object in the palm of his glove was activated.
Dark red runes poured out from his fingers, racing across the ground. They disappeared into a corner of the building, turning into rows of etched runes.
As the clamor grew closer, the footsteps from above also beca clearer.
The pupils of the Four Dark Cards suddenly turned a lava-like dark red.
The next mont, a thunderous boom erupted from above!
Flas burst out, and the shockwave blasted away walls and windows. The entire second floor was flattened by the Four Dark Cards!
