Chase Game

Boom!

In the underground battlefield, a loud bang was accompanied by the explosion of a flower of fire.

Zhou Jie was sent flying backward, smashing a hole in the wall with a bang.

Ding Guifang had no choice but to use her arms to block the powerful pressure.

At the epicenter of the explosion, Wang Yun still stood.

Apart from slightly rapid breathing and a few holes burned in the hem of his clothes by the flames, he was otherwise unharmed.

However, the golden light bestowed by the [Three Lights Shield] dimmed a bit.

thump!

Zhou Jie, who had been embedded in the hole in the wall, fell down and coughed up a mouthful of blood, clearly suffering from internal injuries.

However, he immediately took out a bright red pill, which was the "Red Heart Pill" that he had obtained from Ding Guifang.

Swallowing it in one gulp, the pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a warm current that accumulated in the abdomen.

The warm current flowed to the injured parts of his body, and in just an instant, his body was completely healed.

"Wang Yun's strength is indeed formidable; thankfully, I have the Crimson Heart Pill!"

Zhou Jie was lucky, but then he regretted it. He only had two [Red Heart Pills], and he used one so easily. He should have asked for two more.

What he didn't know was that Ding Guifang had given him two, leaving him with only three.

However, she entrusted the task of direct confrontation to Zhou Jie, while she assisted from the sidelines. Her injuries were far from requiring the use of the [Red Heart Pill].

During the battle, she also spared some attention to observe Wang Yun, but the result made her frown slightly.

"Wasn't it... put away?"

Ding Guifang murmured that Wang Yun should have been carrying the item she needed with him at all times...

Before she could think any further, Wang Yun's enormous hand flew toward her.

At the same time, a powerful gravitational pressure prevented her from advancing an inch, but she remained calm and summoned her fiery creation to block the attack for her.

On the other side, Zhou Jie barely dodged the grasping hand in the void, leaped high into the air, clasped his hands together like a hammer, and slammed it down!

"Wang Yun's two enormous, ethereal hands are unable to retract for the time being; this opening is my perfect opportunity!"

Zhou Jie was overjoyed. He activated his [Iron Body] to its fullest extent and poured all his strength into his hand hammer!

Just as the hammer was about to smash into Wang Yun's head, Ding Guifang, who was being suppressed by gravity, felt a chill run down her spine.

"It's a trap!"

She only had time to shout that one sentence, but it was already too late.

Wang Yun felt a chill run down his spine as he watched the hammer hurtling towards him from the air.

It wasn't fear, but disappointment at Zhou Jie's all-out effort to kill him.

"In that case, I'll take you out first."

Suddenly, he raised his knee and delivered a powerful knee strike to Zhou Jie, who was in mid-air.

Of course, his knee did not make direct contact with Zhou Jie, but Zhou Jie was still sent flying and crashed hard into the wall above.

This is his advanced skill, "Void Shadow," which is the "Void Grip" skill.

He can launch any attack from a distance using his projection in the void, whenever he wants.

Just like now, Zhou Jie was slammed into the brick wall above by a knee strike from a distance. Immediately afterwards, Wang Yun continued to throw punches, smashing him into the wall again and again.

If this continues, Zhou Jie is likely to be defeated!

Ding Guifang reached this conclusion, but she also keenly noticed another piece of information—

Wang Yun's veins bulged and his face was contorted with rage. He appeared violent, but in reality, he was showing signs of being overwhelmed by the situation!

"If both sides suffer heavy losses, wouldn't I be able to reap the benefits without lifting a finger?"

The idea suddenly popped into Ding Guifang's mind, but the system gave her a warning.

[Player Ding Guifang, please abide by the contract, otherwise you will be punished.]

"Damn it..."

Ding Guifang frowned. She remembered the agreement she had made with Zhou Jie that if one side was in danger during a battle, the other side must provide assistance if it had the capacity.

It seems the system has determined that she currently has "extra capacity".

Reluctantly, she could only condense the fire creation into a giant firebird.

Feeling threatened from this side, Wang Yun had no choice but to stop and turn his attention to the firebird.

Zhou Jie fell down with a thud, feeling as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

He took out the last [Red Heart Pill], no longer feeling the pinch, and swallowed it whole.

As his injuries improved, he was secretly alarmed.

"When did Wang Yun upgrade his skill... Damn, he hid it so well."

On the contrary, apart from the few things Ding Guifang gave him, Wang Yun knew all his tricks and methods.

For example, the move I'm about to use, [Steel Body Giant Form]!

Since the opponent already knows our hand, we should play it as if it were an open card.

Ding Guifang's delay gave him time to use his skills.

By the time Wang Yun was able to free his hands a little, Zhou Jie on the other side had already completed his giant transformation.

He was like a small mountain of steel, taking each heavy step.

Wang Yun retreated hastily, his gaze darting rapidly between the gigantic Zhou Jie and the firebird.

"One against two, it's still too tricky..."

At this moment, the thought of retreating had already taken root in his mind, but it wasn't something he could just do so easily. He was surrounded by enemies, clearly not given a chance to escape.

Is it only possible to...?

Wang Yun unconsciously placed his hand on his heart, but quickly lowered it again.

"No, it's not time yet. We can still try one more time!"

Two attacks came at him from the left and right. Wang Yun swung his arms and took the attacks solidly.

Flames erupted on the left, while brute force rammed into the ground on the right.

Wang Yun already had an injury to his left shoulder, and he was the first to give way, his left hand went limp, and he lost his strength.

The flames struck him solidly, and with each wave of impact, the pale golden aura of the [Three Light Shield] on his body gradually wore away.

The firebird possesses absolute air superiority; no matter where Wang Yun tries to hide, its flames can accurately follow him.

In the end, the Three Lights Shield completely dissipated, and Wang Yun had no choice but to withdraw his right hand from suppressing Zhou Jie, instead kicking out a kick that sent both of them flying backward.

This allowed Wang Yun to fly out of the range of the flame impact.

Before he could catch his breath for even two seconds, Ding Guifang swallowed a red pill. In an instant, flames erupted around him, and the firebird in the air also gained a lot of momentum!

Wang Yun didn't know the name of the elixir, but Zhou Jie saw it clearly; it was undoubtedly the "Red Heart Pill"!

"The Red Heart Pill probably has some special effects on Ding Guifang besides healing her injuries."

Zhou Jie thought to himself, and at the same time felt a pang of annoyance, saying, "Damn it, after watching this show for so long, it's finally starting to look decent."

Ding Guifang also decided to put an end to this battle.

She swallowed one [Crimson Heart Pill] but wasn't done yet; she immediately swallowed another, feeling the surging power within her body before saying:

"That should be enough, let's leave it at that."

It turns out that she took the [Red Heart Pill] only to prepare for what she was about to do!

She threw something out, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an oil lamp, which hung in the air without falling.

The oil lamp was extinguished, but soon, the surrounding flames seemed to be drawn to it, rushing wildly towards it.

No matter how many flames came, the oil lamp accepted them all, continuously solidifying a small fireball at the wick.

Wang Yun didn't know what this thing was, but judging from its appearance, he could roughly guess that it was definitely charging up a powerful attack!

He tried to attack the oil lamp, but Zhou Jie would not let him succeed; he had already gotten very close to Wang Yun.

The fierce offensive left Wang Yun busy defending himself, leaving him no time to spare.

Soon, all the flames on the field were sucked away, and even the firebird was sucked into the oil lamp.

Without the interference of the Moltres, Wang Yun was indeed much more relaxed, but he did not feel happy at all; instead, he seemed somewhat flustered.

The oil lamp hanging above his head, which was only emitting a tiny flame, made him feel extremely threatened.

Then, his premonition came true.

Whoosh!

A red laser, about the thickness of a finger, shot out from the small flame on the oil lamp, moving so fast that it was impossible for anyone to react.

Wang Yun was caught off guard and the laser pierced his chest.

Wounds caused at this speed will even have a delayed onset of pain.

But the wound is indeed a real wound.

Wang Yun was terrified. If this damned laser pierced his brain or heart, would he have any chance of survival?

Fortunately, it was just a single laser; if it had been a continuous laser cut, he would have been cut in half long ago.

As he was thinking this, another laser shot out, this time piercing his left chest, less than a centimeter away from his heart!

It seems this oil lamp can automatically correct the trajectory of a bullet; that's incredibly powerful.

Faced with a sneak attack and encirclement, even Wang Yun, a captain-level officer, had no choice but to suffer a bitter defeat.

However, although he felt angry, he was not discouraged.

"Good...you guys are very good. I lost this round. Next time, you'd better be just as well-prepared!"

Wang Yun turned his gaze to the prop in his heart—

【Red Feather Nirvana Pendant】!
