That figure bouncing on the rooftop like a flea could cross over ten meters in a single leap.
This inhuman way of moving made Lu Bai realize it would be hard to shake him off just with his legs, so he simply stood in place waiting for the other to catch up.
He didn’t wait long before seeing a flesh strip with a hook claw at the end fly over, hooking onto the electric pole by the roadside.
The flesh strip quickly contracted, dragging the Chang Tiger to the top of the electric pole.
To avoid losing balance, the Chang Tiger crouched down low, lowering his center of gravity.
Lu Bai naturally recognized this guy, but what he didn’t expect was that this guy had actually gotten a parasitic organism on himself.
The Chang Tiger’s left hand, with the flesh strip flipping wildly, returned to normal, his face ferocious as he said, “Smiling Face, do you still remember me?”
Lu Bai didn’t rush to reply, instead pacing a few steps to position the Chang Tiger in a straight line with the full moon in the sky.
He nodded satisfiedly, chuckling as he said, “This composition looks much more oppressive.”
This made him feel a bit annoyed, so he spoke up to seize the superficial initiative: “Still bluffing?”
Lu Bai tilted his head slightly.
The Chang Tiger snorted coldly and said, “Let me tell you, a large number of police officers are rushing over, so count yourself lucky—I won’t kill you right away. I’ll let you first experience what it’s like to be fully wanted, wait until you’ve felt…”
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Bai suddenly fling out a wild katana of exaggerated length.
The Chang Tiger reacted quickly, turning his left hand into a bone blade to deflect the Long Fang.
He grinned: “Lost your temper? Don’t be hasty, this is just the beginning, wait until you’ve felt…”
Lu Bai flung the Long Fang out again, heading straight for the Chang Tiger’s face.
Incidentally, Lu Bai maintained a kind smiling face throughout, and for a moment, it seemed like he was playing a dart-throwing game at an amusement park.
After all, the [Armory] ability worked that way—flung weapons could be recovered, so being deflected didn’t matter.
Lu Bai ignored him, recalled the Long Fang, and flung it out again.
The Long Fang came at him once more, this time clamped by a bone clamp hastily formed from the Chang Tiger’s left hand.
But having his speech constantly interrupted made the Chang Tiger really unable to hold back.
His brows furrowed, and he scolded harshly: “I said I won’t kill you right away, but that doesn’t mean I’ll tolerate you continuing to provoke me.”
To be honest, as long as he paid attention to Lu Bai’s every move, this Long Fang-throwing attack method posed little threat.
However, being harassed like this repeatedly still ignited nameless anger in the Chang Tiger’s heart.
“Alright, I’m anxious now.”
Lu Bai replied confidently.
At that moment, a girl with a high ponytail hairstyle rushed out from the corner.
She panted as she surveyed the scene, looking slightly disappointed: “Tch, someone beat me to it.”
The Chang Tiger glanced sideways at the high ponytail girl, thinking this sudden death fighter had come at just the right time.
It could make his words more convincing.
“Heh, see, not only police officers, but also death fighters—wait until you’ve properly felt…”
Swish~
The Long Fang interrupted his verbal assault again, and this time, because he was distracted by the high ponytail girl, his response wasn’t timely enough, resulting in an injury on his arm.
“You’re asking for death!”
The Chang Tiger was furious, his left hand extending several flesh strips with bone blades at the ends in succession.
Lu Bai quietly activated [Flash Time], retreating half a step, watching as those several flesh strips stabbed into the cement ground.
To be fair, the bone blade lethality of the parasitic organism was pretty strong—these strikes kicked up quite a bit of gravel.
Lu Bai recalled the Long Fang, gripped it in his hand, and looked at the Chang Tiger on the electric pole with a half-smile: “Come down and spar?”
The Chang Tiger’s anger wasn’t feigned.
“There will be an opportunity, but not now.”
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his emotion: “But before that, I want to watch you flee in embarrassment first. You must experience the humiliation I felt in the hospital.”
“I don’t quite understand why your revenge mentality is so strong.”
Lu Bai turned to look at the high ponytail girl: “Do you have a way to get this guy down?”
Worth mentioning, the high ponytail girl was striking an exaggerated pose.
The high ponytail girl didn’t change her pose, casually retorting, “Why should I help you?”
“Because that way I’ll have a reason to let you live.” Lu Bai raised the Long Fang in his hand.
Hearing this, the Chang Tiger couldn’t help but sneer.
He then stood up from the electric pole, turning his left hand into a hook claw shape, as if about to leave.
Just as he was about to hook out, he suddenly felt his calf grabbed by something.
Looking down, there was nothing there.
The next second, that invisible hand suddenly exerted force, yanking him off balance and making him fall from the electric pole.
Fortunately, he had prepared to hook out in advance, barely dragging himself to the rooftop nearby mid-fall.
[Stand User (Gold): Possesses a stand visible only to the user, with strength equal to the user’s body.]
Seeing the sneak attack fail, the high ponytail girl was inevitably disappointed, quietly controlling the stand to return to her side.
The Chang Tiger couldn’t figure out what that strange ability was, didn’t even throw out a harsh remark, and quickly hooked away into the distance.
Seeing the Chang Tiger flee, the high ponytail girl immediately looked at Lu Bai vigilantly, while secretly controlling the stand to sneak toward Lu Bai.
She thought that without competitors, there wouldn’t be any change of circumstance affecting her obtaining the “node”.
Regrettably, just as she controlled the stand halfway there, Lu Bai’s figure abruptly vanished from the spot, making her even suspect she was seeing things.
The blade fell, blood splattered.
[Ding!]
[Points +2, Current Points: 52, Current Rank 1/138]
“Still lacking ranged means, flying would work too.”
Lu Bai muttered to himself, simply summarizing his weak points.
The death fighters chasing into the alley weren’t just the high ponytail girl; however, due to the alley’s interconnected paths, the other death fighters hadn’t caught up in time.
He put away the Long Fang and strolled through the alley entrance at a walking pace.
Before the police officers arrived at the scene, he planned to take out as many death fighters as possible in this complex environment, so running too fast definitely wouldn’t do.
……
A garbage station emitting a sour stench.
Lu Bai carried a head and threw it into the trash can.
In just half an hour, he had faced nearly ten encirclement and kills.
On average, every few minutes, he would be blocked by unfamiliar death fighters.
Fortunately, the death fighters currently encircling him were all lone wolves; in one-on-one situations, they wouldn’t waste too much of Lu Bai’s time.
But he didn’t relax.
Considering that his position had always been exposed to other death fighters’ eyes, those who hadn’t moved to encircle him were probably forming teams in secret.
Presumably, the truly troublesome moment hadn’t arrived yet.
