Under the imnse pressure from Muto, Xiaofan wished to shatter them with sheer anger, but it was impossible. Conversely, under Lingze's interference, Xiaofan was forced into retreat.
anwhile, Lingze was awaiting the right mont to strike. Given Muto's formidable power, finding a flaw in Ye Xiaofan wasn't difficult.
Sure enough, having just dodged Muto's attack, Xiaofan once again exposed his back to Lingze.
Lingze, being soone with rich combat experience, knew approaching the furious Ye Xiaofan was risky, yet faced with such an opportunity, retreat wasn't an option.
So Lingze took action... A fierce attack erged behind Xiaofan in that instant.
Muto also showed a look of appreciation, knowing his disciple had seized the opportunity with precision.
If this move succeeds, Ye Xiaofan's defenses will be breached, and just a couple more big strikes would be enough to eliminate him completely.
But would our fellow student Ye Xiaofan really fail to anticipate Lingze's sudden attack from behind? Yet, if he knew, why did his expression remain unchanged?
"Got him."
"Not yet..."
Just as Lingze was about to succeed, a figure suddenly dropped from the sky, and without any preparation from Lingze, a flying kick hit him precisely in the chest.
'Bang...'
Lingze was kicked five ters away, crashing into the wall, before he could see his attacker clearly, another strike ca his way.
"San, watch out, his speed has increased."
"Don't worry, even if this kid can fly, I'll still knock him down."
Indeed, Li San moved at the critical mont. This ti, Xiaofan didn't act alone as he had last ti. By bringing a companion, it ant the danger wasn't too great.
Although their strengths matched, Li San had the upper hand, utilizing the Divine Thief Sect's nimble Lightweight Skill for attack speed, Lingze almost couldn't defend.
'Whoosh...'
If not for that eerie toothpick repelling Li San, it's likely he was really about to lose so teeth.
"Damn, this kid's toothpick is becoming more like yours."
"That's nonsense, compared to , he's far behind." Xiaofan was still struggling with Muto. Anger simred inside him, yet he couldn't vent it on Muto.
"Hey, you two, get ready to retreat, their reinforcents are coming." At this mont, Tang Tianyou's voice suddenly ca through the intercom.
It indeed was an ambush, however, it did not affect their retreat.
Lingze, catching his breath, launched a fierce attack against Li San, who hadn't anticipated Lingze's strength would be so formidable, finding it hard to parry.
"San, stop playing around..."
"I'm not playing, this kid is quite strong."
"You retreat first..."
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, Li San no longer lingered in battle, turning swiftly to utilize his Lightweight Skill to leap onto the wall to escape.
But how could Lingze let him go easily, he imdiately chased forward with large strides.
"Swallow's Counterattack..."
"Lingze, watch out, you can't intercept this move..." Muto had previously seen Xiaofan using this move at the base, aware that the ambush of Swallow's Counterattack was terrifyingly effective, once followed up, it was inevitable to be hit.
Lingze too had so impression of this move, hurriedly halting his steps, but........
Gone? Li San suddenly leapt up and disappeared beyond the wall, nowhere to be seen.
"Xiaofan, they've reached the alley mouth."
"Hmm..."
Unable to defeat Muto, but Xiaofan could outrun him, tossing a toothpick, Xiaofan swiftly leapt over the wall. As Muto was about to pursue, a sudden white smoke from the wall forced him back.
"Damn..." Initially thinking that without a grandiose setup for the ambush, there was a chance to capture him, who could have foreseen that this ti he ca prepared.
Evidently, he was already familiar with the surrounding terrain beforehand, and had people outside watching. Once in action they imdiately retreated, even without success, the escape route was ready.
"Master, your disciple is inadequate..."
"No, you perford very well, this Ye Xiaofan and Li San are no ordinary individuals, you have to strive harder."
"Yes, Master."
"Ah..."
"Ah..."
At this mont, cries of pain suddenly arose from the alley mouth.
"Not good..." Muto inwardly cursed, imdiately heading with Lingze toward the alley.
From afar, it could be seen that among the thirty-plus people originally sent to flank Ye Xiaofan, twelve lay in pools of blood.
As Ye Xiaofan saw the two charging forward, a sinister smile appeared on his face, with a flicker he vanished again into the night.
"Damn... Damn..."
Indeed, Xiaofan needed to kill a few to vent, it was these unlucky fellows who crossed him at his angriest.
After Xiaofan leapt over the wall, he didn't imdiately follow the escape route but went along the wall to the alley mouth. The thirty-plus people rushed in without anticipating an ambush, and the alley wasn't wide, making it difficult for thirty people to maneuver. He just needed to scatter so toothpicks from above, and several would fall.
Following that, Xiaofan descended into the crowd, flashes of cold light snatching nurous lives in an instant.
Muto and Lingze arrived, Xiaofan vanished once more, venting a large portion of his rage. Yet, he still rembered Lingze's mocking words, acknowledging his own incompetence; unable to rescue Shen Zuimo, and contentedly basking in having annihilated Red Butterfly to beco a hero, though this venting was substantial, Xiaofan's quest for the antidote was only going to beco tougher.
Before coming to Hiroshima, upon learning Lingze's hotel location from Bai Xue, Xiaofan pre-arranged by scouting the area and reviewing hotel footage to monitor Lingze's activity range, knowing he would visit the bar.
Of course, the woman was soone Xiaofan had arranged for Tang Tianyou to bribe, enticing her to lure Lingze into the alley. The excuse being she and Lingze were good friends, wanting to prank him by having soone rush in to photograph them during their business.
Won, naturally unwilling when photographed in such contexts, but the sum Tang Tianyou offered back then was substantial, so inevitably, she agreed.
Lingze, conversing with her, also sensed sothing odd, hence deliberately following her to the alley, though before going he had already instructed Muto who resided in the apartnt opposite the hotel. Subsequently, Muto's appearance followed naturally.
Even with Lingze's ticulous preparation and planning, capturing Ye Xiaofan proved fruitless, indeed, reflecting upon the base's superior setup where success was elusive, how less likely it was outside. Must it really wait until Shen Zuimo perishes, prompting him to make a grand disruption in Japan?
Even in imagination, such a scene was daunting to Muto... After all, that guy wasn't soone easily caught by anyone.
