"That's a brilliant analysis, brother!"

The little boy's flippant voice rang in Lu Mingfei's ears. Someone was lying down beside him. Without thinking, Lu Mingfei picked up a brick and smashed it down.

The brick hit the wall, but it didn't hit anyone.

"What's wrong with you now?"

Nono, on the other side, was startled and couldn't help but complain. The enemy was already very close to their position, and any movement at this time would alert those guys. She didn't want to be ambushed instead of launching a sneak attack.

But Lu Mingfei didn't answer him, and turned to look at Lu Mingze.

"Brother, that girl was right. You're too impulsive. Haven't you heard the saying that anger makes people lose their minds?"

Lu Mingze appeared silently on the other side. This time, he didn't lie down, but looked down at Lu Mingfei.

"I'm not angry, I just simply don't like you."

Lu Mingfei said coldly, lowering his voice, "If you're here to help, I'd be very happy to, but you'd better lie down first. Standing so high will give me away."

"Don't be naive, brother. Haven't you already guessed it? The people who came to capture you weren't ordinary assassins. They were a group of human-dragon hybrids. Although their bloodline was very low, they had all awakened the power of words. And your weapon against them was just a brick."

Lu Mingze glanced at Lu Mingfei and said, "You're no match for them. If you think you can win by sneaking up on them, you're being too stupid. So come and make a deal with me. I can kill them all for you, and I promise I won't get your hands dirty."

The only response he received was silence. Lu Mingfei was so focused on the other end of the alley that he had no time to pay attention to this dramatic little devil. The group of foreigners were standing there, but they didn't come in directly. Their black shadows were stretched out under the light, like evil spirits intertwined.

He and Nono held their breath, gripping the bricks, their muscles tense, ready to jump off the wall and smash a brick over the heads of those guys.

"Alright, brother, it seems you'll only give up when you actually see the Yellow River... Don't look at me, I'm your devil so only you can see me and hear me speak. My rambling here won't scare away your prey."

Lu Mingze said, "I'll be right here tonight. Brother, if you can't take it anymore, you can make a deal with me anytime. Trust me, my service will absolutely blow your mind! I guarantee you'll want to come back again and again!"

He was saying some horrible things as he slowly backed away.

Lu Mingfei withdrew his gaze from Lu Mingze and counted the shadows on the ground. There were four of them, all burly men with the physiques of bodybuilding champions. They had no chance of winning against him and Nuonuo in a head-on confrontation, so they could only resort to sneak attacks.

If he's fast enough, he might be able to knock out two of them, and Nono can at least knock out one as well. Then, he and Nono will be able to handle the remaining person much better.

He didn't know what Lu Mingze meant by human-dragon hybrid. Didn't two different creatures have reproductive barriers? But even dragons, creatures that exist only in mythology, had come out, so it wasn't so hard to accept that humans and dragons could have offspring.

As for the power of words, it was actually easier to guess. After all, the questions that Shudeya asked him during the day were very targeted. Asking him whether he believed in aliens was an implication that dragons exist in this world. As for whether he believed in superpowers, it should refer to the power of words.

Therefore, he only has one chance to end the battle before the enemy unleashes their incantation.

But those swaying shadows suddenly vanished from the ground, and no sound came from them.

Those burly men probably didn't realize how loud their voices were, thinking that as long as they lowered their voices, no one could hear them. That's why Lu Mingfei was able to detect their arrival in advance. But now their voices have disappeared, and their shadows have gone too. In the darkness, only the insects in the grass are still diligently chirping.

Did they leave because they couldn't find their target?

Lu Mingfei didn't stand up, as did Nuonuo, who was lying on the opposite side. They looked at each other in the darkness and both sensed that something unobservable had suddenly happened in the alley, but they couldn't see it.

"Brother, they've found you. Your ambush plan has failed."

Lu Mingze said quietly, "You should run away now."

As if to prove his words, the next moment a fierce wind descended from the sky like thunder, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air, but there was nothing in front of Lu Mingfei.

But he still reflexively rolled to the side, and heard a loud clang like metal being struck. The spot where he had been lying had been sheared away, leaving a "V"-shaped gap.

The sound of hurried footsteps rang out, as if hundreds or thousands of people were charging up the wall at the same time, carrying an unstoppable momentum to crush Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei couldn't see what was attacking, but there was only so much space on the wall. Since the other party wanted to crush him, it could only charge at him from the front.

This is probably the power of words, similar to a kind of invisibility ability.

Lu Mingfei quickly assessed the situation: the wall was too narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time, so he would only be facing one enemy at a time.

He recalled the height of those burly men, stared intently at the air in front of him, and guessed which spot might be a vital point.

The footsteps drew closer, and the metallic hum rang out again. Lu Mingfei suddenly crouched down, and the brick flew through the air in a beautiful arc, hitting its target. A sound similar to an eggshell cracking was particularly clear in the darkness.

"A beautiful home run! Straight to the bullseye!"

Lu Mingze gasped, clutching his groin and grimacing as he said, "Sometimes I really wonder if you've awakened, brother. You can actually see through Mingzhao's disguise."

"I can't see it, but it's easy to guess."

Lu Mingfei straightened up and looked down. The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground echoed in the alley. The black shadows receded like flowing water, revealing the people hiding below.

Four burly men were piled on top of each other. The man on top, with his veins bulging, rolled off the cushion in pain, clutching his groin. He lay on the ground, his back arched like a boiled shrimp, with drops of bright red blood seeping from between his fingers.

"Words of Power, Illumination!"

Everything happened so fast. Only a few seconds had passed from when Nuonuo heard the sound to when she jumped off the wall. She finally realized how these burly men had sneaked in. She and Lu Mingfei had really been ambushed instead of ambushed.

What surprised her even more was that Lu Mingfei was able to fight back even when he was ambushed. He actually knocked down four muscular men whose arms were thicker than his legs with just a brick!

"Finish him off!"

Lu Mingfei shouted, reminding Nuonuo to finish off the opponent.

"Brother, you've really surprised me!"

Lu Mingze stood on the wall, laughing and clapping. "It's a pity your enemy is a lion. Even if a lion is injured, it can still kill two deer... You should have run away."
