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

Others also reported frequent successes.

Ye Shanshan finally proved herself, defeating the two Silver Knights in front of her one against two.

It has to be said that her unpredictable shadow-stealing ability is incredibly useful against this kind of zombie-like being that has lost its self-awareness. It's no exaggeration to say that she can manipulate her opponent at will, moving left and right without letting the enemy even touch her.

Of course, this was also thanks to her opponents being Lu Baiyan and Han Jingchuan, two unfortunate fellows. Both of them were non-combatants, so being turned into a puppet would be a sure thing and a major weakening, and breaking through the threshold would be useless.

Especially Lu Baiyan, even if Xu Shi hadn't repeatedly tried to win him over, he probably wouldn't have planned to get involved in this battle.

He's just a super soldier with better physical attributes.

But this level of skill is no challenge for Curly Hair.

I've trained before, okay? Don't underestimate me just because I'm small!

indeed.

She was only relatively inexperienced in Xu Shi's team, but that was only relative. If she couldn't take on ten or more ordinary people or even combat teams, she would have resigned without Xie Qingyan even having to say it.

"Chairman Xu."

She gave Xu Shi a wink, indicating that she hadn't gone all out.

She remembered that Xu Shi had said Lu Baiyan was useful, so she should try her best to make him lose his fighting ability. As for Han Jingchuan... Xu Shi hadn't mentioned him, so she was just benefiting from her colleague's reputation.

Xu Shi nodded, "He's quite reliable."

Meanwhile, Shen Qin's battle was also nearing its end.

To be fair, she was a bit unlucky. Two non-combatants ended up with Ye Shanshan, so her opponents were naturally Luo Yu and another Silver Brother.

Neither of them were easy to deal with. Luo Yu was a given, and the other one wasn't much worse.

This battle was not easy.

But who is Miss Shen Qin? Although her memories have been reshaped, her ruthlessness towards others and even more ruthlessness towards herself has not changed.

Not to mention that she was protecting her brother—that's right, no matter how big the battle was, she only had this one thought in her mind.

At most, she also felt a bit resentful towards Luo Yu—the two had fought before, and in theory, they were evenly matched, but in her mind, she had been at a disadvantage. Now that she had a second chance, she had to prove herself!

On this point, everyone seems to be the same.

Therefore, she also removed the threshold restriction and pushed "blood burning liberation" to its limit.

"die!"

With a sharp cry, anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was the one who had been turned into a puppet.

As it turns out, once she broke through her inner constraints, she was invincible.

When Xu Shi looked over, she was standing right in front of Luo Yu, surrounded by a towering aura of black energy, and she had driven the short knife in her hand into his head.

As for the other one, he had long since become a corpse.

"Brother, I did it..."

She managed a smile, but due to the excessive exertion, her vision went black and she lost consciousness.

“…Well done.”

Xu Shi paused for a moment, then calmly offered his approval.

He felt a rare pang of guilt, after all, his dear sister's situation was special, and she had risked her life to protect her, so he did feel a bit of indescribable emotion.

Ugh, so annoying, I'm going to have to be so compassionate again.

Despite his words, he was quick-witted and caught her before she fell, gently laying her down beside him.

Ms. Shen Qin's situation is not optimistic.

This is the same situation as last time. Luo Yu's devouring is like a bone-deep infection. Even if he dies, the devouring aura clinging to Shen Qin will not disappear.

This time it's even worse—the opponent's ability threshold was forcibly removed, and coupled with their frantic training during this period, their strength is naturally incomparable to what it used to be.

Not to mention that the ability to devour is inherently very effective against melee fighters. If you fight your opponent in close combat with such an ability, even if you win, it will inevitably result in mutual destruction.

Fortunately, I had saved her once before and had experience, plus her own self-healing ability, so all I needed to do was increase the dosage of the blocker.

However, she probably won't wake up anytime soon.

"Oh my, is Brother Xu Shi feeling sorry for you?"

Xia Ke'an, ever the entertainer, made a sarcastic remark.

“...Take good care of her.”

Xu Shi was too lazy to argue with her, and his expression did not relax because of the deaths of these few silver-level people.

Because the real boss hasn't died yet.

Although Miss Saintess's condition is not very good either.

She did have some martial arts skills, but strictly speaking, she wasn't a combat-type fighter. Naturally, she couldn't withstand Su Lin and Lin Yue's decapitation strikes and basically had to rely on the cannon fodder puppets in her hands to keep up.

As the Templars were wiped out, her condition deteriorated further.

Clearly, as the person controlling the puppet, she will inevitably be harmed once the puppet is destroyed.

The blood constantly flowing from the corner of her mouth is the best proof.

But no one will let their guard down because of this.

Because everyone knows that she still has her biggest trump card to play.

The old Pope.

Someone who can be compared to Cheng Gujian, the pinnacle of combat power in the Hualan Empire, is certainly not inferior.

On the other hand, manipulating his words and actions is not a big problem, but the cost of truly driving him to fight will be no small matter.

Everyone knew this, which is why Su Lin and Lin Yue tacitly planned to take her down directly and end the battle at the lowest possible cost.

The Saintess originally thought the same way: avoid using the Pope if possible. After all, she still had five Silver Knights and so many cannon fodder. If she could win with their help, that would be even better.

But she did underestimate Xu Shi's side's fighting strength. Even if they couldn't hold on, they shouldn't have been defeated so quickly!

She doesn't want to lose.

So after throwing out two puppets to block Su Lin and the other person's attack, she suddenly pulled away and clenched her fist tightly as if she had made up her mind!

next second.

Suddenly, a white light flashed in the eyes of the old pope who had been standing there in a daze, and he raised his head as if he had just woken up from a dream!

"..."

He slowly raised his hand, and circles of light rippled outwards.

moment.

Everyone felt the air pressure inside the church drop, making it difficult to breathe.

SS!

Just as Xu Shi had predicted, he had felt this natural sense of oppression from his maternal grandfather Cheng Gujian and the Sea God before, and this was the fourth one!

What's worse is that without Xia Xiaomao, even though everyone present is now much stronger than before, their chances of winning against such a thing are probably not high.

Therefore, Xu Shi did not hesitate.

"Su Lin!"

he shouted.

"Yes!"

The other person understood immediately, instantly appearing behind him and taking his hand.

"Young Master, take a deep breath!"

Xu Shi obediently took a deep breath, and then everything went black before her eyes.

Followed by.

Then he saw that Su Lin had already led him to the Saintess's side.

Everything happened so fast that the other party couldn't react in time.

"you……"

Before she could say anything more, Xu Shi had already put his hand on her shoulder.

"Threshold Space" activated.

"If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who caused it."

Chapter 296 How could you not even be the protagonist?!

2023-10-20

Swah——

In an instant, the saintess felt dizzy and disoriented.

When I came to my senses, the scene before me had changed.

It was still the main cathedral of the Vatican, but the fighting and bloodshed were gone, and everything was clean and tidy.

The others had also disappeared, which made her eyes even look a little confused.

But when she saw Xu Shi appear before her, she instantly realized what had happened.

"This is...your ability?"

Miss Saint frowned.

Xu Shi didn't answer, but subconsciously gagged.

vomit.

It has a strong aftereffect.

This was clearly a side effect of being teleported by Su Lin—he had previously talked to the real First Madam and learned that after breaking through to S-rank, she could teleport people.
