Chapter 345 Is it faster, a fist or a stream of water?

Chapter 345 Is it faster, a fist or a stream of water?
The rain suddenly became torrential.

It was as if a huge hole had been torn open in the sky, pouring down the world's stored water.

A faint rumble of thunder could be heard, deep and muffled like the low growl of a giant beast.

It seems to be setting the stage for a somber prelude for this isolated, dark neighborhood.

Cheng Leyi's thin red halter dress was already soaked through, clinging tightly to her curvaceous body.

The cold rain slid down her wet hair and across her fair cheeks.

Her eyes shone brightly, a mixture of fear and anticipation as she gazed ahead.

A giant water sphere enveloped Lin Xuhao.

The face made of water also stared wide-eyed, looking in that direction with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

That dark corner.

In an instant, there was a sexy woman, a man about to suffocate, and a liquid monster.

The three figures, enveloped in rain, create an eerie and still scene.

"Who's there?!"

The transparent water-man stared intently into the darkness, unable to resist asking again:

"What kind of ability is it to hide your head and show your tail!"

The sound drifted through the torrential rain, sounding particularly distorted.

There was no response, and no additional breathing or heartbeat could be heard.

In that darkness, there remained a deathly silence.

It was as if everything that had just happened was merely a hallucination caused by the hypersensitivity of those present.

suddenly--

Two faint but rhythmic footsteps sounded.

pat.

Then, a figure emerged as if peeled from the curtain of a rainy night.

The outline of the body gradually became clearer from being blurry.

Cheng Leyi's pupils contracted slightly.

It was a tall and upright man wearing a black raincoat.

Just standing there exudes an invisible sense of oppression.

Rain dripped from the brim of his hood, forming a continuous curtain of water that obscured most of his face.

Only those eyes, in the dense darkness, reflected two terrifying points of red light.

His steps were unhurried, each one as if precisely measured with a ruler.

Stepping on the puddle made soft "plop" sounds, clear as if they were hitting my heart directly.

Just by looking at that steady, mountain-like walking posture, Cheng Leyi could tell that this person was very strong.

"Stop!"

The transparent water creature seemed to sense a threat, and its voice suddenly became shrill.

"If you take another step forward, I will kill him immediately!"

Lin Xuhao, inside the water sphere, struggled even more violently, his face turning a deep liver color from suffocation.

The figure cooperated and stopped as instructed, standing about twenty meters away from them.

Upon seeing this, the transparent water figure's eyes flickered uncertainly:
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night, with such heavy rain? Are you reinforcements from the special search team?"

"no……"

The figure finally spoke, slowly shaking its head.

His voice was deep and resonant, as if it had been soaked by rain, carrying a hint of indifference.

Upon hearing this, the transparent water spirit secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the other party's next words caused the liquid around it to fluctuate violently.

“I came here specifically for you, Scorpion.”

As they spoke, a strong wind swept across the damp street.

A murderous intent, colder than rain, spread out without warning.

Poisonous scorpion!

Upon hearing the name called out by the other party, the transparent water spirit was clearly stunned.

The water sphere enveloping Lin Xuhao also trembled violently.

click-

A pale bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the night sky, illuminating everything as bright as day in a brief flash.

In that instant, Cheng Leyi finally saw the person's full appearance.

It was a pure white stone mask with grotesque and terrifying lines, like a demon from hell.

And where those eyes were, two rubies were inlaid, radiating an ominous blood-red light.

"This mask?!"

Cheng Leyi's heart trembled violently as a code name, buried deep within the special investigation team's classified files, suddenly rushed into her mind.

It's a white owl!
That legendary demon king who killed without hesitation and struck fear into the hearts of countless people!
They had spent countless efforts trying to track this person's whereabouts in Dongdu, but ultimately came up empty-handed.

Unexpectedly, when he and his companions were on the verge of death...

This person, more dangerous than any enemy, appeared suddenly before him, as if by a cruel joke of fate.

At this moment, it's as if we're surrounded by hungry wolves behind us and fierce tigers in front of us.

They were in an unimaginable predicament.

call--

The wind picked up a bit more.

The raindrops kept hitting my bare shoulders and thighs, raising goosebumps.

Cheng Leyi instinctively hugged her arms and shivered.

Transparent Water Man, no, it should be called a Poisonous Scorpion.

After a brief silence, it seemed to return to its calm state.

What grudge do I have against you?

Suddenly, the scorpion asked a question.

"No."

Fang Cheng shook his head again, his eyes glowing crimson as he fixed his gaze on the liquid monster before him:

"I just don't like you."

This extremely arrogant statement silenced the scorpion once again.

A moment later, he suddenly let out a strange laugh, and his tone softened.

“Friend, since we have no grudges against each other, why fight and kill each other?”

"Look, this female detective from the special investigation team has a great figure. If you help me deal with them, you can have this chick. How about it?"

Cheng Leyi's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to burst into a tirade.

But while the scorpion was still talking, it had already launched a covert attack.

The murky water that had spread across the streets seemed to come alive, transforming into dozens of tiny venomous snakes.

They moved close to the ground, silently, winding their way towards Fang Cheng's location.

With its target within reach and victory imminent, the scorpion let out a hysterical scream:
"go to hell!"

The water snakes suddenly sprang up, instantly weaving into a dense, impenetrable net, fiercely strangling towards the spot where Fang Cheng had originally stood!

However, a whooshing sound of wind was heard.

There was no one there.

Fang Cheng's figure vanished like a ghost the instant the water snake closed in.

When he reappeared, he was already standing several meters away.

It was as if I had just teleported without any warning.

With Fang Cheng's high Spirit attribute of 50 points and Agility attribute of 40 points.

This level of sneak attack didn't even qualify to make his heart race.

"Damn, this guy's tricky, I have to be careful..."

Seeing that his sneak attack had failed, Scorpion cursed inwardly.

His eyes darted around, and he immediately incited the hostages encased within his body, shouting:

"Don't move! Or I'll crush him! I want to see if your fist is faster, or my water flow is faster!"

Looking at the masked man, who, despite his threats, simply stood there, clenching his fists in vain and staring blankly.

The scorpion was immediately quite pleased with itself, thinking it had seen through the other party's lie.

At this moment, they have clearly grasped the enemy's weakness and regained the initiative.

But he didn't notice that during the few seconds that Fang Cheng was talking to him, his right arm was undergoing some strange change.

His skin was red and hot, and his muscles were constantly swelling.

The five-second charge-up time for the Qilin Arm has now been completed.

boom!
Fang Cheng's body suddenly leaned forward, his waist snapping open like a steel cable twisted to its limit.

His right fist broke the sound barrier, unleashing a sonic boom that distorted the air with intense heat!

The air at the tip of the fist was compressed violently, and a faint red glow could even be seen burning around it!

This punch, spanning a distance of over twenty meters, arrived first despite being delivered later, striking the face of the person floating on the water sphere like a hammer blow.

The scorpion couldn't even see his movements clearly; he only saw a flash of red light before his eyes.

bang——

The giant water sphere enveloping Lin Xuhao exploded in response!
The terrifying force of the punch instantly shattered the liquid cage, and the crimson fist stopped precisely in front of Lin Xuhao.

Water droplets mixed with yellowish-brown slime splashed everywhere.

"what--"

Cheng Leyi gasped in surprise and instinctively closed her eyes, unable to look over.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw that her companion had been detached from the water sphere and was lying on the ground.

"Lin Xuhao!"

Cheng Leyi's face lit up with joy, and she quickly put on her high heels and ran over to help him up.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

"Ahem... vomit!"

Lin Xuhao knelt on the ground and vomited violently, spewing out murky yellow sewage that emitted a foul stench. He gasped for breath, his face deathly pale, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Luckily, I'm tough and can hold on for now... Damn, this guy is disgusting, I need to get my stomach pumped when I get back!"

Lin Xuhao cursed a few times, then he and Cheng Leyi turned their surprised and uncertain gazes to the man wearing a white mask.

Who is he??

Lin Xuhao looked puzzled. He had been trapped in the water sphere and hadn't been fully conscious.

In a daze, I thought it was a senior member of the special search team coming to help.

"Look closely at the design of that mask. Does it remind you of anything?"

Cheng Leyi pointed out, her throat sounding somewhat dry.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuhao's eyes widened immediately, and he observed carefully.

When I saw clearly the mask with its ferocious expression, like that of a demon, I couldn't help but gasp.

"He...he's...the mysterious masked man we tracked before?"

Lin Xuhao stammered as he spoke.

Suddenly, the scene of carrying out a mission with Cheng Leyi came to mind.

In their search for the mysterious man who killed the ghoul, they had been lying in wait in the Jiangbei Old Factory Street area for a long time, monitoring suspicious targets.

Although he ultimately failed, the legend of the powerful and cruel "White Owl" was already deeply etched in his memory.

"careful!"

Just as the two were talking, Cheng Leyi suddenly let out another exclamation.

The raindrops seemed to transform into deadly bullets at that moment, swarming towards Fang Cheng like a swarm of locusts!

Caught in the aftershocks of the violent attack, the two scrambled back to the corner of the street, seeking cover.

At this moment, the battle scene unfolding before our eyes was far more shocking than the name "White Owl" itself!

The scorpion had completely disappeared.

It seemed to transform into the torrential rain itself, merging into the boundless night.

Bullets, whips, and blades formed from rainwater relentlessly attacked from all directions, launching a saturation assault.

Every hit on the wall and the ground leaves a shocking mark, creating a dense array of craters.

Some even emitted white smoke and made a hissing sound, as if concentrated sulfuric acid had been poured on them.

Fang Cheng, however, seemed like a ghost strolling leisurely through a storm.

His figure flickered constantly amidst the dense barrage of bullets, sometimes disappearing from the spot.

The next second, it reappeared at the other end of the street.

The speed was unbelievably fast; even Cheng Leyi and Lin Xuhao could only barely catch a glimpse of it.

"It's no use! It's no use! This downpour is my perfect help. Here, you can't even touch my body!"

The scorpion's sharp voice came from all directions, trying to disturb Fang Cheng's mind with trash talk.

He seemed somewhat resentful that his opponent was so indifferent to his teammate's life and didn't play by the rules.

Fang Cheng ignored him.

His scarlet eyes calmly scanned the surrounding movements.

In another dodge, he suddenly made a move, precisely pinching a drop of yellowish-brown viscous liquid from an oncoming stream of water.

The liquid writhed violently between his fingers, as if it possessed its own life.

chi chi-

A corrosive, burning sensation came from my fingertips.

"This is it……"

Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

It is almost identical to the yellow slime substance found in the scorpion's room.

Thinking of this, Fang Cheng's gaze suddenly swept across the surroundings, instantly discerning the flaws in the enemy's concealment.

Although scorpions can blend into the heavy rain, using darkness and water to conceal themselves, they are indeed difficult to detect.

However, this ability does come at a price.

Each time it launches an attack, the scorpion secretes this highly active and corrosive biological enzyme.

That is, the special biological enzyme recorded in the police forensic report.

Rain can be controlled remotely, but this yellowish-brown slime, which is part of his body, can only be produced from his own body.

It's absolutely impossible to create something out of thin air!
"found it!"

Fang Cheng thought to himself, his gaze suddenly turning sharp.

Amidst the torrential rain, he spotted a few drops of yellowish-brown viscous liquid that had just seeped out a dozen meters to his left.

This time, Fang Cheng no longer dodged.

He was unaffected by the barrage of bullets, each capable of piercing the flesh of an ordinary person, which rained down on him with a series of loud crackling sounds.

In an instant, the raincoat he was wearing was pierced through, becoming riddled with holes and almost shattered.

Fang Cheng seemed oblivious, clenching his right fist once more.

He suddenly threw a punch at the seemingly empty air in front of him!
boom!
The force of the punch exploded like a cannonball, and the strong wind even cleared away a large part of the rain in front of them.

"what--"

A piercing scream, no longer coming from all directions, came clearly from the spot where the fist struck.

It hit the target!
Fang Cheng's eyes shone brightly.

The silhouette of a naked man flashed by in the rain, as if hit by a truck, and flew backwards into the window of a clothing store on the street.

slam-la-

The sound of shattering glass echoed through the night sky.

"Monsters...these two are monsters..."

Lin Xuhao squatted in the corner, staring in disbelief.

Cheng Leyi's eyes sparkled, and her fingers couldn't help but pinch the hem of her slip dress.

They seem more tense than both sides in the conflict.

Fang Cheng stared at the broken shop window, then lightly touched the ground with his toes, ready to press his advantage.

"Roar--"

A roar that sounded inhuman came from inside the store.

Immediately afterwards, a massive wave, mixed with shards of glass and mannequins, surged out of the shattered shop window!

Not just ahead!

All the water in the streets and all the torrential rain from the sky.

At this moment, everything seemed to be summoned, condensing into giant waves several meters high, converging on Fang Cheng from all directions and instantly engulfing him!
A huge, irregularly shaped water sphere, with a volume of tens of cubic meters, trapped Fang Cheng firmly in its center.

The streets looked like swimming pools.

Fang Cheng felt as if he were sealed in a water prison, unable to put his limbs on the ground.

All around were endless streams of water under immense pressure.

He tried to throw a punch.

The force of the punch stirred up a surging undercurrent inside the water sphere, forming a white water line in its trajectory.

Upon reaching the surface of the water sphere, it merely burst into a splash, the water then slowly wriggling back as if it were alive, re-entering the water prison.

Amidst the surging waves, a human head emerged from the surface of the water prison.

The scorpion's blurry face, its features shifting constantly, emitted a wild, unrestrained laugh:

"Idiot! Do you think punching water will work?"

His voice was filled with resentment, and at the same time, he was filled with lingering fear.

If it weren't for its strange liquid body, which absorbed most of the impact, it would have been a disaster.

If that punch had landed squarely on his flesh, it would have blown him to pieces!

Suppressing his fear of the opponent's true power, the scorpion stared intently at his prey, now trapped in the water prison, and sneered:
"Struggle! Slowly suffocate inside me, slowly be digested!"

Upon seeing this, Cheng Leyi's heart sank to the bottom.

however.

Trapped in the water dungeon, Fang Cheng's expression beneath the demon mask was terrifyingly calm.

The water breathing technique was quietly activated.

What was a deadly prison for others was like returning to his mother's embrace for him.

He can even draw trace amounts of oxygen from the water around him.

Not to mention suffocation, even if you stay inside for a whole day and night, you will be completely unharmed.

Scorpion waited a moment, but the masked man did not react as expected.

His brows furrowed slightly, then he let out a sinister laugh:
"Looks like I'll have to add a little something extra!"

As they spoke, a yellowish-brown venom began to be secreted frantically from the inner wall of the water prison, spreading towards Fang Cheng's body.

"Hey, watch out! This guy's body is highly poisonous!"

Cheng Leyi couldn't help but loudly remind him.

Lin Xuhao muttered something:
"Both of these monsters are monstrous. For our special search team, it would be best if they both suffered heavy losses!"

Cheng Leyi glanced at him, her expression complex:

"If I had to choose one, I would rather Bai Xiao win than that perverted sex fiend win."

"Hahahaha! Melt in my most potent poison!"

"I'll also seep into your mouth, nostrils, and eyeballs, bursting your body and causing your internal organs to rot completely..."

The scorpion taunted them relentlessly.

at this time.

Fang Cheng, who was in the water dungeon, suddenly opened his mouth.

Gollum—

He actually took a deep breath of the yellowish-brown venom that was gushing out.

The scorpion's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped.

"What...what did you do inside my body?!"

He roared in a mixture of shock and rage.
