I really didn't want to burn it.

Perhaps fearing a sudden sneak attack, both sides simultaneously chose to pull back after landing.

Ryougi Shiki, having lowered her center of gravity, slid backward for three or four meters before coming to a steady stop.

Sigurd, on the other hand, slid more than ten meters in one go.

Swish.

Sigurd spread his arms, and the dancing lightsabers surrounded him like funnels from a Gundam.

"Hey, this is more fun!"

Ryougi Shiki's lips curled up again; she realized that going out with Li Ang tonight was definitely the right choice.

"I wonder how things are going on Ang's side? The thought of him being alone in a room with that queen makes me a little uneasy. I hope you can help me relieve some of that stress, Mr. Hero of the North."

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

On the other side, Pink Butterfly, who plays Li Ang's Hundred-Faced Doppelganger, is running at an extremely fast speed through the streets of Lin'an.

"Why has the First Lord become like this?! Lord Leon, where are you?!"

The butterfly ran while looking around.

"Li Ang, don't run!"

Closely following behind the pink butterfly was Cú Chulainn.

"Don't follow me!"

One of the clones pleaded inwardly.

Her original task for tonight was very simple: just pretend to be Li Ang, follow Ryougi Shiki around Lin'an City, and then find Master Ritsuka and say a few words.

This task, which couldn't be simpler, was thrown into chaos by Sigurd's sneak attack.

Unfortunately, while Pink Butterfly can mimic Li Ang's appearance, she cannot mimic his strength, nor does she know any rune magic. Once she fights against an opponent at the Heroic Spirit level, she will be exposed without a doubt.

Therefore, Ryougi Shiki had no choice but to personally stop Siegfried, while Pinkie Pie continued to leave the battlefield as Leon.

Then, tragically, the white butterfly got stuck to Cú Chulainn.

From Cú Chulainn's perspective, it's not hard to understand; he saw Ryougi Shiki fighting Sigurd while Leon secretly left.

Fearing that Leon, that cunning fellow, might pull some tricks, Cú Chulainn naturally chose to follow.

As for Ryougi Shiki...

Anyway, Lin'an is their Chaldea base, and if they cause such a disturbance, other Servants will definitely follow suit.

"This is terrible!"

As the dog drew closer, Pink Butterfly's face was full of conflict.

If I turn around and retaliate, I will definitely be discovered, and then my secret of counting undercover agents will be exposed. But if I don't do this, I will be caught sooner or later.

Pink Butterfly had tried several times to hide in the crowd to confuse the situation, but she was seen through each time.

"Now I finally understand why Lord Leon likes to call Cú Chulainn 'dog,' that guy really has a dog's nose!"

Compared to the increasingly anxious butterflies, Cú Chulainn's smile grew ever wider.

"Li Ang, we finally caught you this time!"

Cú Chulainn stretched out his hand, almost touching the hem of "Leon's" clothing in front of him—

boom!

A bright flash suddenly erupted from Li Ang's body, and white light particles sprayed and exploded in all directions, creating a brilliance even more dazzling than a high-intensity flashbang in the street.

Cú Chulainn, who was chasing after someone with his eyes wide open, was completely unprepared for this move and fell right into it. Even though Cú Chulainn shielded his eyes from the blinding light with his arm, he was still temporarily blinded.

"what!!!"

Cú Chulainn let out a scream, covered his eyes, and rolled on the ground in agony.

Swish.

Several chains made of light shot out from the void and bound Cú Chulainn directly.

"The Lock of Heaven... Li Ang, you are truly despicable!"

Cú Chulainn writhed on the ground like a maggot.

"There's nothing I can do, it's your fault for chasing me so relentlessly."

Leon's voice came from not far in front of Cú Chulainn, but Cú Chulainn was too weak to chase him anymore.

"Well then, see you later, Big Dog."

Li Ang waved his hand casually, turned around, and walked into a small alley.

"Alright, let's switch our identities back like this."

Li Ang spoke to a white-faced skeleton huddled in a corner.

Pink Butterfly breathed a sigh of relief: "Lord Li Ang, I'm really sorry to have troubled you."

"It's nothing. After all, something unexpected happened. You should go back and rejoin the other clones."

After saying that, Li Ang walked out from the other end of the alley. When he went back out on the street, he put on a straw hat and pulled the brim down as low as possible to cover his face.

Then, Li Ang followed the other fleeing civilians as if nothing had happened, walking towards the outskirts of the city.

Thanks to the Ziegrud operation, East Street is now in complete chaos, or at least the people on the street are too preoccupied to bother with other people's business.

Before he knew it, Li Ang had reached the end of East Street. He only needed to cross two more streets to reach his "safe house" in Lin'an.

"It's simpler than I imagined."

Shrugging, Li Ang glanced at the direction of the battle between Ryougi Shiki and Sigurd in the distance and said softly.

"Hey, buddy over there, can I bother you for a minute?"

The tone remained unchanged; although it was a very gentle female voice, the way she spoke gave off a cold, mechanical feeling.

A woman with long brown hair, holding a huge staff, gently stopped Li Ang.

"..."

Why did I meet this person?

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowly turned his head away.

"Excuse me...is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Ang's face was plastered with a formulaic smile.

"Hey buddy, where are you going?"

Although she possessed a face so beautiful it could be a masterpiece of art when she smiled, the woman's face was expressionless at this moment. She stared silently at Li Ang, her normally gentle eyes now radiating a sharp gaze like that of an eagle.

Chapter 320 Li Ang: I'm outta here, I'm outta here!

"Hey buddy, where are you going?"

A standard smile appeared on Miss Da Vinci's lips, but there was no hint of amusement in her eyes.

"My lord, as you can see, I'm simply heading home."

Li Ang remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.

"Is it?"

Leonardo da Vinci asked with a strange look in his eyes.

“Of course it’s true.” Li Ang pointed. “My home is right there.”

Li Ang spoke with a hint of panic, looking just like a passerby who was slightly nervous from being questioned.

"There..."

Da Vinci raised an eyebrow, his narrowed eyes fixed on Li Ang.

"That's strange... why is there magical energy emanating from your house?"

"Well, it's because it's a safe house."

Li Ang sighed softly, and said resignedly, "We've been exposed. When did you figure it out?"

Da Vinci rolled his eyes at him: "Li Ang, are you out of your mind? How could I not recognize your face!"

"makes sense."

Li Ang scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.

Click.

Da Vinci pointed her oddly shaped staff at Li Ang, the blue crystal at its tip radiating a cold, icy light.

“I’ve got the magic ready. If you dare move, I’ll blow the whole street to smithereens! Don’t try anything funny. Put your hands up and come closer to me!” Leonardo da Vinci said seriously.

"Yes, yes, my shrewd businesswoman."

Li Ang said with a grin, and then he obediently raised his hands.

However, Leonardo da Vinci's expression grew even more serious. Although Li Ang behaved very obediently and did not emanate any abnormal magic.

But the other party's proud expression didn't look like someone who had been captured at all, which made Da Vinci believe that the other party was definitely not being honest.

"Where's the doctor? Aren't you two always inseparable? Where is he?"

While chatting casually with Leonardo da Vinci, Li Ang gradually moved closer to him.

“He has his own things to do,” Leonardo da Vinci replied coldly. “Don’t even think about causing trouble!”

"Okay, okay."

The two were getting closer and closer...

Then--

Bang!

A soft sound!

In an instant, a thick cloud of smoke enveloped the entire neighborhood.

"Cough cough, how could this be?!"

Leonardo da Vinci coughed repeatedly, choked by the smoke.

"Who said I have to use magic?"

Li Ang let out a prank laugh.

I just secretly activated the smoke bomb hidden in my sleeve. It was handmade and didn't use any magic.

Leon did this because he was betting that Leonardo da Vinci was always wary of him using runic magic, so he deliberately did the opposite.

"Damn it!"

Although Leonardo da Vinci was a cast member, her reaction speed was unsatisfactory.

As soon as the smoke rose, she activated her wand and fired several flashing silver beams in the direction of Li Ang.

Unfortunately, Li Ang seemed to have anticipated Miss Da Vinci's actions, and he had already left the place he was standing in before she made her move.

"As expected, they said they could blow up the entire block, but you simply can't do that." Leon's voice came from the smoke. "You Chaldea are too kind; it's easy to see through you."

"Long-winded!"

Da Vinci used her wand to launch several magic blade slashes in all directions. Anyway, the civilians around her had all disappeared when she stopped Li Ang. As long as Da Vinci controlled the attack distance, she was not afraid of accidentally hurting others.

Unfortunately, after a series of attacks, Leonardo da Vinci only managed to cut off a few strands of Li Ang's hair.

"hateful!"

Da Vinci wanted to confirm Li Ang's direction carefully, but by then the smoke had thickened and everything around him was a white blur. Li Ang had long since disappeared.

"Li Ang! You big liar!"

Miss Da Vinci tried to provoke Leon, but received no response.

Fearing a sneak attack from Leon, Leonardo da Vinci could only cautiously remain on guard amidst the thick smoke.
