Chapter 285 - Do you really think I'm blind? (3)
Bei Nuan remembered the bombs in her pocket space. Would the instantaneous explosions be able to kill him?
She dismissed that idea. Those bombs were about to go off. If she really took them out, neither she nor Lu Xingchi would be able to run to safety. It wasn't worth giving up their lives to deal with Huo Ren.
Huo Ren quirked his lips. While smiling, he walked through the metal tornado and came towards them.
Bei Nuan could see that he wasn't a solid entity now. He didn't look like he was stepping on the ground either. It was more like he was floating over the floor like a ghost or a shadow.
Bei Nuan looked at him and pondered. If he was floating instead of actually walking over, then why didn't he just fly?
Presumably, there was some kind of limitation to his ability as well. Unfortunately, she didn't know what it was.
Huo Ren came towards them. He was still holding his gun.
For some unknown reason, Lu Xingchi didn't take Huo Ren's gun into the metal tornado.
Huo Ren looked down at the gun in his hand and smiled.
"Do you think I'm stupid? If I want to shoot, I would have to materialize the moment I shoot, and you would have had the chance to kill me. What's the use of a gun when you can control bullets?"
Huo Ren casually threw the gun away and walked towards Bei Nuan.
Bei Nuan had goosebumps all over. She tried to reassure herself that there was nothing to be afraid of. If he wanted to attack someone else, he would have to become solid. Even if it was only for a split second, it would be enough time for Lu Xingchi to seize the opportunity to kill him.
They had entered a stalemate. They couldn't kill him, and he couldn't kill anyone else.
They were competing whose ability lasted longer.
While she was thinking wildly, Huo Ren had already walked up to them.
He suddenly smiled, glanced at Lu Xingchi, bent down in front of Bei Nuan, and even inclined his head a bit.
It was a pose ready for a kiss in front of Lu Xingchi. This was outright provocation.
Although he couldn't touch Bei Nuan, it still looked like he was about to kiss her.
Bei Nuan was horrified when she saw his face rapidly approaching and stepped back in panic. She glanced over her shoulder and saw that Lu Xingchi's face was ashen. While reaching out to pull Bei Nuan behind him, he controlled countless sharp objects and shot them.
The metal tornado avoided Bei Nuan and passed through Huo Ren without any effect.
Bei Nuan's retreat wasn't as fast as Huo Ren's advancement.
In desperation, Bei Nuan broke away from Lu Xingchi's hand and grabbed something from space. Not caring whether the item was useful or not, she threatened Huo Ren with the item.
What came out was a knife.
It was Du Ruo's Ming Hong Knife. She had taken it out today, and it was placed in the most convenient spot in her pocket space.
That plastic knife wasn't heavy. Bei Nuan majestically swung it upwards.
Huo Ren's face suddenly changed.
When the knife came at him, he seemed to sense that something was wrong. He retreated in panic and raised his hand to block it.
The dark surface of the Ming Hong Knife suddenly flashed with a cold light, and two of Huo Ren's fingers were sliced off.
Luckily for him, he had taken a step back in time, or else, he would have been split in half.
He glanced at his fingers. He was in complete disbelief that such a thing could happen.
This girl in front of him, the girl he had thought could only survive by relying on men, suddenly had a knife appear in her hand.
And with a single slash, she did what no one in this world could do. She broke through his ability.
Huo Ren was only stunned for a split second before he charged towards the wall.
Lu Xingchi had already reacted. He took the Ming Hong Knife from Bei Nuan's hand, utilized enough strength in his wrist, and threw it towards Huo Ren's back.
Strangely enough, Lu Xingchi's thrown knife did not work. It passed through Huo Ren and hit the wall.
Huo Ren had already passed through the wall.
The knife bounced to the floor with a clatter.
Lu Xingchi stared at the wall and thought; the knife only worked when Bei Nuan was using it.
Bei Nuan ran over to pick up the knife. She was also surprised, but for a different reason.
She was surprised that Du Ruo's cosplay knife wasn't a cosplay prop knife. How could that be possible?
There were sounds of people from the hallway. It sounded like people were rushing towards here again.
Captain Zheng, who had just witnessed three people fighting with their abilities, had been completely stunned. It was only now that he spoke out. "People are coming. Let's go?"
Lu Xingchi nodded. They opened the door just in time to see a group of people with guns rushing up the stairs.
