“Finally willing to come out?”
The Chang Tiger stepped over the corpse at his feet and looked up towards the duplex apartment building.
This food stall was littered with overturned table and chairs everywhere, and the diners had long since fled.
After all, facing two death fighters with gold abilities, it was inevitable to rely on the power of a parasitic organism.
Even without a parasitic organism appearing, just the supernatural power they displayed was enough to scare the diners sober and send them scurrying for cover.
Of course, with something like this happening, someone must have called the police.
The police officers were probably on the road by now.
The Chang Tiger’s left hand split open with an exaggerated gash, looking like mangled flesh and blood, yet not a single drop of blood flowed out.
He grinned: “When those police officers arrive and see that smiling face nearby, I wonder how grateful they’ll be to me?”
He was even willing to cooperate with the glasses man he had always despised.
……
The duplex apartment building had no elevator.
The voice-activated lights in the corridor were fairly reliable, switching on for a fixed time with commendable brightness.
However, it wasn’t great that they were too bright.
As soon as Lu Bai turned the corner in the corridor, he was noticed by two death fighters locked in fierce fight.
The reason for their fierce fight seemed to be Lu Bai.
So when they saw the main target inexplicably appear, they simultaneously stopped without prior agreement.
“You actually dare to come out on your own?”
“Ha.”
The latter let out a “ha,” then swiftly launched an attack at Lu Bai.
Midway through lunging at Lu Bai, his body erupted with a ring of gray smoke, and what burst out from the gray smoke was a humanoid beast wielding a double-headed saber.
Notably, that double-headed saber was burning with scorching flames, and in the narrow corridor, one could somewhat feel the heat it contained.
[Wolf Head Instructor Template (Gold): Transformation ability. Using this ability turns the user into a fierce beast with a massive build and exquisite saber skills.]
These two death fighters hadn’t used their gold abilities during their fight.
Lu Bai had actually noticed this point quite early.
Most death fighters liked to hide their abilities, treating them as trump cards to conceal as much as possible and reveal only at critical moments.
This lunging guy directly used his trump card, which didn’t mean he was underestimating Lu Bai.
Unfortunately, it still wasn’t enough.
Long Fang appeared out of thin air in Lu Bai’s hand, instantly piercing the fierce beast.
This death fighter’s Wolf Head Instructor form was indeed quite large, nearly blocking the entire corridor.
Stabbing through it with Long Fang felt like a toothpick piercing a steak, not causing any serious injury at all.
The Wolf Head Instructor silently leaped back a distance, realizing that this environment restricted him too much—it was too narrow to maneuver.
Given Long Fang’s blade length, it was also somewhat restricted, but fortunately, Lu Bai could cheat.
[Flash Time] activated, finding the right angle for a small lateral slash that directly severed the wolf head.
Thanks to the Wolf Head Instructor’s massive build, the death fighter standing behind couldn’t immediately assess the situation.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Bai went all in.
He moved his foot, using his body to knock down the Wolf Head Instructor’s form, then activated [Flash Time] again, swiftly harvesting the opponent’s life before he could react.
Things were different now; even if curious, he had no intention of letting his opponent showcase his ability.
[Ding!]
[Points +4, Current Points: 50, Current Rank 1/140]
Lu Bai put away Long Fang and quickly passed through the corridor, exiting the apartment building.
He stood downstairs from the duplex apartment building, looking around.
The death fighters weren’t so aggressive as to block downstairs—that situation hadn’t occurred.
But Lu Bai had no doubt that at least double digits of death fighters were watching him from various spots at this moment.
Without searching one by one, he put on an innocent smile that, in this environment, overflowed with provocation.
His smile gradually faded, and without waiting for anyone to lose patience and act, he turned and dashed into the alley entrance on the side.
His speed was extremely fast, almost like his feet weren’t touching the ground.
Perhaps stunned, or maybe with other plans, no death fighter stepped out to block him as he entered the alley entrance.
Seeing this, three impatient death fighters immediately rushed out from roadside shops, trying to catch up and change the “node” ownership.
After a while, a few more figures followed.
The other death fighters could still keep their cool.
Clearly, they all wanted to first confirm who the other competitors were.
The Chang Tiger leisurely crossed the road.
Many people had seen his performance at the food stall and knew he was another tough one with an erratic style, so naturally no one provoked him.
The Chang Tiger was equally unsure which people were death fighters, so he just sneered and followed into the alley entrance.
Not long after he left, several police sirens sounded from the distance.
Even with the citywide search for Lu Bai’s traces causing a severe police shortage, that bizarre report would surely prompt a few police cars to check the situation.
……
This alley was no different from the urban area, with paths branching in all directions, numerous forks, and roads that weren’t neat straight lines—unfamiliar strangers entering would likely take a while to find their way out.
Along the way were piles of sundries and some cars parked right at house entrances; dilapidated, crowded, and chaotic were the main tones of this alley.
If a fire broke out in any house in the alley, firefighters would probably have a headache seeing the road conditions.
Yet in this poorly lit nighttime environment with complex road conditions, Lu Bai could still speed through the alley, dodging and weaving fluidly and elegantly.
But careful observation revealed he wasn’t making flashy parkour moves; his way of handling obstacles was very straightforward.
However, whether facing a trash can suddenly appearing at a corner or a vehicle blocking the path ahead, nothing affected his speed.
He maintained the same speed throughout, as if he had traversed this road countless times before.
Lu Bai cleanly leaped onto a car parked by the roadside, looked back, and temporarily saw no death fighters following.
He flipped down, about to continue, when he suddenly heard a strange movement.
It had no rhythm, just strong and forceful pauses.
It seemed to be coming from the rooftop?
Observing carefully, he could vaguely see a leaping black shadow.
Like Spider-Man, shooting a thread to the rooftop, then quickly shifting by pulling the main body along.
That black shadow continuously shot out rod-shaped things from its hand, but too far away to see clearly what they were.
Lu Bai narrowed his eyes: “Parasitic organism?”
