Mercury and the others rushed down after them, all acting like islanders, as if they wanted to grab Van Shaw and retreat immediately.
However, just as they were getting close to Fan Xiao, an invisible barrier blocked their path. Du Ruo, who was flying at the front, was bounced back and almost fell off the platform.
After regaining her footing, Du Ruo took the opportunity to land on the ground, and Mercury and the others followed her down.
After everyone jumped off the flying platform, the leader, an orca, waved, and five flying platforms immediately flew toward him. They flashed a few times as they approached him and then disappeared without a trace.
"The barriers here are easier to deal with than the previous maze, but with so many players watching, we probably won't be able to get out unless we reduce their numbers."
Orca Li Xian quickly reminded his four companions, "Prepare for battle."
He said that in Japanese.
At this moment, Fan Xiao, who was not far away, inappropriately interrupted, saying, "There's no need to pretend anymore; these people already know your background."
"..."
Li Xian and the others did not respond.
What others know in their hearts and what they admit to are two different things.
I may know it, but I have no evidence.
As long as they deny it verbally, other forces will have no excuse to cause trouble afterwards.
"Brother! I'm fine."
Standing behind Luo Hao, Song Qingshan nodded to Fan Xiao.
Beside Song Qingshan, Su Qian cast a curious glance at Fan Xiao, while Su Tong was not as optimistic as her sister. With so many people surrounding them, she wasn't very confident about escaping.
"Fan Xiao, is that... your younger brother?"
At the same time, where the real Fan Xiao was standing, Lu Baizhi tugged at Fan Xiao's sleeve and asked, "Are you sure... it's your younger brother?"
The girl's expression was somewhat unnatural.
Looking at her younger brother, who was nearly two meters tall and had muscles bulging like they were exploding, she seemed to want to complain, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
“It’s him,” Fan Xiao nodded. “Don’t let his size fool you, he’s only 17 years old this year. Like you, Zhi Zi, he’s a senior in high school.”
"High school seniors..."
Lu Baizhi's eye twitched slightly.
On the other side, "Fantasy Fan Xiao" nodded to Song Qingshan and smiled, "You stay there first, Qingshan. After I've dealt with these people, we can catch up."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Du Ruo and the others, and continued, "At this point, there's no point in pretending to be Japanese. Anyway, I'll basically kill all these people who have gathered here, so why should you worry about the situation?"
"Heh, that's pretty arrogant."
Zhao Yu, the handsome young man standing opposite Fan Xiao, suddenly revealed a rather amused look in his eyes.
A smile played on his lips as he slowly and deliberately said, "I thought things were getting out of control after the Special Affairs Bureau got involved, but I didn't expect you to come to me like this... Since those foreigners can't handle you, I'll take matters into my own hands today."
Do you recognize this traitor?
Fan Xiaochao asked Du Ruo and the others.
"His surname is Zhao, given name Yu, and he is a member of a prominent domestic family. The time he became a player is unknown, but he is suspected of joining a player organization called 'Black Snake'," said Li Xian, the team leader. "Based on the information I have gathered, there is a 70% chance that 'Black Snake' was created by players from another region."
He said this in his native language.
He listened to Fan Xiao's words and has revised his next action plan.
Although he didn't know what gave Fan Xiao the confidence to claim he would wipe out all the enemies on the scene, judging from the intelligence provided, Fan Xiao, known as the "Butcher of Men," did indeed frequently commit massacres, and few of those who opposed him survived.
It seems that Fan Xiao must possess some powerful methods that he doesn't know about, which would allow him to deal with the current situation with an absolute advantage.
He chose to trust the other person this once.
Coincidentally, the complete annihilation of the enemy camp also benefits their side.
If that's the case, then there's no need to pretend to be from an island nation anymore.
On the other side, the handsome young man's smile vanished, and his eyes turned cold.
He shifted his gaze to Li Xian, whose expression remained indifferent, and said in a low voice, "You... are quite good! You even managed to find out information about me and 'Black Snake.' Heh... the people sent by the Special Affairs Bureau really gave me quite a surprise. It seems we can gain a decent slave."
Li Xian: "Oh."
Zhao Yu: "..."
"You have connections with players from other regions...tsk tsk, so this is another kind of 'worshiping foreign things and fawning on foreigners.' Calling you a traitor is really not an exaggeration."
At this moment, Fan Xiao said in a very calm, speculative tone, "Your own strength isn't that great, so you were intimidated by players with higher levels from other regions, right? How pathetic."
"shut up!"
Before the young man could respond, his female secretary, protective of her mistress, scolded him, "You dare to spout nonsense at your boss just because you have a little bit of power? You're a despicable wretch! Watch your tone!"
"Wow, you're licking it pretty enthusiastically."
Fan Xiao chuckled and said, "What a pity. I don't discriminate when it comes to dealing with enemies. Whether they are men or women, I won't show any mercy. I can only say... you're having a bad day."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed a finger at the female secretary.
The female secretary narrowed her eyes slightly, becoming more alert, but she felt no fear.
Now the entire factory is under the protection of her boss—Zhao Yu.
The barrier that blocked the Special Affairs Bureau members' path, and the barrier that prevented them from meeting up with Van Shaw, were both created by this prop.
This offensive and defensive item, which has reached level B, was a gift from the leader of the "Black Snake" organization to the boss in order to increase the success rate of this operation.
She is now under the protection of this item, and neither physical attacks, energy attacks, nor mental attacks can harm her in the slightest as long as they do not exceed the limit of the item's protective power.
"Ignorant fool!"
The female secretary watched Fan Xiao's comical actions and sneered inwardly.
The next second, bang!
She exploded.
The blood in the female secretary's body surged like a wild horse, bursting her blood vessels and internal organs, tearing her muscles and skin, and gushing out wildly.
Before she could even scream, she was reduced to a pile of mangled flesh, scattered on the ground by the force of the blood splattering through her body.
Fan Xiao's B-grade item "Master Tailor" does not possess physical, energy, or mental attack capabilities.
It can only connect to other people's bodies conceptually, sharing half of their health and injuries.
Its attack effect is not exaggerated, and it can even be said to be a bit weak, but as an alternative, it has a very strong coercive power when used to conceptually connect with the body of another person.
Combining these attacks with the "Dark Noble" who can manipulate blood will produce terrifying results.
Without specialized protective gear, the only way to avoid this combination attack is to distance yourself from the attack range, or... possess strong immortality so that you can temporarily maintain your life even if your body is torn apart.
The female secretary is only a D-level player and does not possess any items with powerful immortality effects.
So she had no chance to fight back and was killed instantly.
Witnessing this scene, the players present all showed surprise to varying degrees.
Many people instinctively took a step back, and those with defensive items quickly activated them, enveloping themselves completely.
What a bizarre attack!
They died without even having a chance to resist.
On the other side, Zhao Yu's mocking smile froze on his face, and his expression became stiff.
If we're talking about surprise, he was definitely the most surprised person among them.
Others were unaware of the situation, but he knew perfectly well that his female secretary was protected by his B-grade item. A B-grade item, how could it be broken through so easily?
How exactly did Fan Xiao launch his attack?!
He inexplicably felt a sense of panic.
Things seemed to have completely spiraled out of his control.
At that moment, Fan Xiao, who was not far away, shifted his finger and pointed in his direction.
Despite not feeling anything, Zhao Yu felt a terrifying sense of dread.
He couldn't care less about intercepting the Special Affairs Bureau personnel; he immediately activated his protective gear to the fullest extent, creating layers of invisible protective barriers that enveloped him, instantly covering him with a full 20 layers.
Given this scale, Zhao Yu was confident that even a small-yield nuclear bomb exploding nearby wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest.
Even radiation will be blocked.
At the same time as setting up the defenses, Zhao Yu quickly gave the order to the players behind him: "Attack! Proceed according to the previous plan!"
Five players responded quickly to his command.
Five C-rank items were activated simultaneously.
"You are a turtle!"
"A paradox of thought!"
"A passive, stagnant knight!"
"Nightmare Invasion!"
"Time Capsule!"
Their effects are respectively to restrict physical movement and deprive physical strength;
Creating a logical deadlock in thinking suppresses the pursuit of goals;
To put the target in a negative state, preventing them from even having the thought of attacking, and to deprive them of a certain amount of mental energy;
Put the target to sleep;
The surrounding environment transforms into a special substance, solidifying and sealing the target within it.
All five items worked together.
Suddenly, the air and earth around Fan Xiao began to glow, quickly turning into a gelatinous substance that covered and sealed him in place.
He was like an object placed in a time capsule.
This was a perfectly executed combined attack.
Even B-level players can fall victim to this trap and be directly controlled if they're not careful.
however……
Thud, thud, thud...!
Five explosions rang out in succession.
The five players who aimed their items at Fan Xiao were blown to pieces one after another.
Their blood floated into the air and mixed with the blood of the female secretary who had died earlier.
The effect of the props immediately ceases after a person dies.
The gelatinous substance dispersed instantly, and Fan Xiao reappeared before everyone's eyes, his smile sending chills down their spines.
"That's it?"
Fan Xiao's tone was filled with contempt: "With this level of skill, you dare to try and scheme against me?"
Should I praise your courage, or mock you for losing your minds?
His raised right hand shifted slightly, pointing at Zhao Yu.
Chapter 335 Massacre
Upon realizing he had become the target, Zhao Yu didn't hesitate and immediately began to retreat frantically.
Fan Xiao knew that he possessed a tool that could manipulate blood.
But... how can this item be so powerful?
Its performance is completely different from what is described in the latest version of Fan Xiao's materials!
Doesn't it take effect only after you slash the enemy's body first?
Why things turned out this way—Zhao Yu no longer had time to ponder this question.
After witnessing his five subordinates being slaughtered in an instant, he had only one thought in his mind—run! Run!
