In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

The hunter became the prey.

Xu Shi watched all this with great interest, thinking to himself, "It would be a miracle if my Su Lin couldn't catch you."

After all, he already knew that over the past year, Director Su's superpowers had made breakthroughs, and the new effects brought about by S-rank were quite interesting.

"Slow"

Just like slow motion in games or movies, once she activates her ability, everything around her will appear to slow down, as if she's on adrenaline.

This ability itself is definitely not high-level, but when combined with her original Flying Thunder God Technique, it is definitely more than the sum of its parts.

Although he couldn't experience it firsthand, he could imagine it in his mind. What Bai Yin Ge considered to be lightning-fast speed was probably no different from an old lady crossing the street in Su Lin's eyes.

Add to that the interruption of their long-awaited reunion... I'm afraid Director Su's anger is not small at this moment.

Tsk tsk tsk, why can't these people ever learn their lesson?

Su Lin's sudden entry into the battlefield naturally attracted the attention of other members of the Vatican.

Seeing their companions being toyed with like cats and mice by this woman, they were momentarily embarrassed.

It can only be said that they represent the top fighting force of the Holy See and even the Hualan Empire, yet Xu Shi sent someone who could easily defeat them. This kind of humiliation is probably something they have never experienced in their lives.

She originally thought that the other party had just caught Baiyin Ge off guard, but she didn't expect that Baiyin Ge was not her match in the first place.

It's so numb, are there any experts here?

However, the shock did not last long, because their own situation was not much better.

"Where are you looking, you brat?"

Completely letting loose, the beautiful Xie muttered a cold, low shout, her tentacles behind her flailing even more wildly, "Look me straight in the eye!"

"...Ignore her, kill Xu Shi!"

Park Guk-chang finally snapped out of his daze. This endless stream of people rushing in is no different from suicide; he'll be dragged to his death by this crazy woman sooner or later!

Fortunately, his reinforcements were also held back by Silver Bro, and this may be their only chance!

Unless there are other reinforcements... well, if there are, so be it! What's the point of worrying about this at this point? The chances of dying here are much higher if we don't risk everything!

As they spoke, he and Ji Bochang exchanged a glance, and the two of them immediately separated, leaving only the last person to deal with Xie Qingyan.

Their ice spears and rock spikes, one on the left and one on the right, once again targeted Xu Shi.

"careful!"

Jiang Chengcheng reminded her again.

Xu Shi still didn't move, but it seemed that this time no one would stand in his way.

But his expression remained as playful as ever.

The protective force field deployed, successfully blocking the attack from Park Ji and his companion without serious damage.

However, the two had anticipated this, as they both knew that Xu Shi possessed such a defensive armor that was both offensive and defensive, making it difficult to defend against.

Therefore, without the slightest hesitation, they launched another attack.

It's just a protective shield, not an absolute defense. Once it's broken through, Xu Shi inside will be like a fish on a chopping board...

?

Before they could think any further, they saw Xu Shi's figure suddenly disappear.

The next second, he actually appeared in front of them.

"Hi~"

He greeted her jokingly, but without hesitation, Xu Shi threw a punch straight at Park Guk-chang's face!

What happened next was completely unexpected.

As soon as Park Guk-chang took Xu Shi's punch, he was instantly sent flying like a kite with its string cut, all the ice around him shattered, and he was sent flying out of control!

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shi appeared in front of him like a ghost and kicked him hard in the chest!

boom--

A sound like a cannonball exploding echoed outwards, and when the smoke cleared, a huge crater appeared on the ground.

Park Guk-chang was deeply embedded inside, and couldn't be pried out.

Upon seeing this, the originally noisy battlefield fell into a brief silence.

"You, how could you..."

Ji Bochang, acting as a mouthpiece for his companion who was already dead or alive, asked incredulously.

It's important to understand that as Templar Knights, they weren't just outstanding in ability; they also honed their physical skills.

Although Park Guk-chang is as thin as a stick, he is actually quite capable of fighting without relying on his skills. Don't let his skinny appearance fool you, he's got a lot of muscles.

On the contrary, aren't you the one who has no fighting ability? How come you turned him into a paper doll in two moves?

Xie Qingyan is not weak and helpless, but how come you are?

Is the intelligence false?

At this moment, he truly didn't know whether it was Han Jingchuan's problem or their own.

In contrast, Xu Shi's side reacted much less, mainly because they knew the inside story.

Mr. Xu's transformation into a tough guy is certainly related to his abilities, but it's not due to "the increase of malice," but rather "the unity of the people."

As everyone knows, this ability, which was plundered from little Shenhe, has a great additional effect—it can enhance three-dimensional attributes through the faith of others.

During this period, as the popularity of the Holy Fire Cat Cult continued to rise, his popularity as the nominal leader naturally also increased. Not only in the main city of the empire, but even in the surrounding counties, people began to follow the new religion.

With such a large number of believers, the feedback is naturally quite exaggerated. Although the Vatican's public opinion has had some impact on it in the past two days, it has still accumulated a lot of die-hards.

This is only based on the premise that Xia Ke'an, the saint, is more popular; otherwise, she might really become a One-Punch Man someday.

Xu Shi clenched his fist, also feeling a little regretful.

The main reason is that his followers in the City of Night Sin were not included in the calculation—his second ability hadn't been activated yet at that time... otherwise, it would probably be even stronger.

However, his current level is still sufficient, and he has rarely stepped out from behind the scenes to the forefront, indulging in the thrill of being a combatant.

I must say, it feels pretty good.

Throw tiles!

"Next!"

Xu Shi made a childish, chuunibyou-like sound, no longer paying attention to Park Guochang who was embedded in the ground, but turning to Ji Bochang who was standing there in a daze.

The enemy belatedly realized they needed to defend themselves, but the hastily erected rock barrier proved to be quite vulnerable in front of Xu Shi.

Bang!

Fists rained down, and now it was clear that being big had its advantages.

Ji Bochang was at least not as disheveled as his companions, but under Xu Shi's relentless attack, he still felt excruciating pain in his internal organs as if they were dislocated.

Blood gushed out like it was free, and he didn't last long before losing consciousness.

You can't blame Boss Xu for being ruthless. This kind of improvement only focuses on physical fitness, such as strength, defense, and speed... It doesn't allow people to fly over walls, so in a way it's a bit of a waste.

But when it actually comes into play, it seems a bit too violent...

Looking back, Jiang Chengcheng was standing there, looking a little confused.

Knowing it is one thing, but actually seeing your man transform into a suit-wearing thug is a completely different feeling.

At first glance, he looks a bit unfamiliar, but upon closer inspection, he's just so handsome.

"...Go! Go!"

She belatedly clenched her fist, heeding Xu Shi's earlier advice, and became a temporary cheerleader.

Xu Shi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At the same moment, Su Lin also finished walking Bai Yin Ge's dog, delivering a fatal blow that ended his tragic life.

The one left to deal with Xie Qingyan fared no better. It turned out that their one-on-one strategy wasn't very effective either, as the beautiful Xie Qingyan dealt with him effortlessly.

Shen Qin and Ye Shanshan also led their combat team to wipe out most of the Vatican's miscellaneous soldiers.

The dust has settled.

"call."

Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could fix his appearance, a dark figure slipped into his arms.

"Hey Xu, long time no see! You've gotten even more handsome!"

Looking down, one could see, of course, the petite and adorable little black rabbit, Gu Yi.

"Are you here too?"

Jiang Chengcheng raised an eyebrow.

"I can't come... but of course I have to come!"

Gu Yi still respected this older sister, but her answer was somewhat perfunctory.

Her thoughts were all on Xu Shi.

That's right. As soon as she heard that she was going to go to sea, she was determined not to be left behind. Last time, even though she couldn't join the team through the proper channels, no one can stop her now!

However, there was nothing she could do in the situation just now, so she could only maintain her usual timid nature, find a safe place to hide, and only jump out to make her presence known after everything was over.

Watching her snuggle against him, Xu Shi felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"Whether you come or not, things won't get any quieter, right?"

He made a sarcastic remark in a voice only the two of them could hear, naturally referring to the previous time the two of them had made that intimate remark.

"I……"

Miss Black Rabbit hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly retorted, "So what? The real person would definitely be more comfortable."

Everyone blushed at these outrageous words, but few knew the specifics. They only felt that the child had probably become like this because he had been separated from Xu Shi for too long.

No, she wasn't exactly innocent to begin with...
