"You two be careful. Qian Ying is a B-Rank wanted criminal from Long Xia, and he's the former head of the Dongqi branch. His ability is Paramecia: Magnet Man. He was already a Second Order late stage during his tenure, and he's improved even more over the years.
That old man is Cha Duzi. His ability is Elemental: Poison Fungi. Three years ago, he used his ability to create a pathogen that wiped out an entire town! He's a wanted A-Rank criminal, and rumors on the dark web say he's broken through to Third Order early stage, with a combat power of 4300 points."
"Third Order mid-stage... a town-wiping incident." Zhao Yang and the other person were shocked. "Rumor has it that there was a COVID-19 outbreak in Ma Du Ander Town, C Province. Jian SORI, it caused the deaths of as many as a hundred thousand people, and the virus was finally contained through isolation, but the matter was left unresolved. Could it be this old man?"
"Haha... just a false reputation. I just wanted to test the speed and severity of the virus's spread, but who knew it would cause such a storm." Old man Cha Duzi said with a smile, completely disregarding human lives.
"You beast! Do you know how many people you've killed?" The two roared in anger.
"No matter what your purpose is, none of you are getting away today." Li Youwei shouted, his palms on the ground, "Third Group Attack Technique, Center of Gravity Attraction!"
An invisible energy wave surged from the ground, pressing the soil around him down ten centimeters. It was as if there was a mysterious, immense pressure filling the area around him, and then it suppressed everything.
"Old Li, they say the young are impetuous, but you're almost fifty years old, and you're still so rash. I heard that that dog sent out a large number of people to find his precious daughter. My goal is different from that old man's; I'm here to find that girl, so I can make that guy feel the same way."
Facing several times the pressure, Qian Ying remained unfazed, continuing to express the resentment in his heart.
"Tenfold Crushing!" Li Youwei's expression darkened as he continued to apply pressure, sweat beading on his forehead.
This move clearly had a significant effect, as the two were instantly crushed by a tremendous force, unable to lift their heads.
"Second Ultimate Technique, Light of Annihilation!" Zhao Yang's skill was like a dazzling laser beam, carrying boundless power, and rapidly shot towards Qian Ying and Cha Duzi.
"Don't be so arrogant! Second defensive skill, Magnetic Field Control!"
When the skill's light struck their defenses, it instantly ignited a layer of dazzling light. Qian Ying's magnetic field protection was like an invisible barrier, flashing with blue electricity, as if engaged in a fierce battle with the beam, emitting a "crackling" sound.
The shockwave from the explosion spread outwards, kicking up a cloud of dust and debris.
Zhao Yang and Li Youwei were knocked back a few steps by the powerful recoil.
Qian Ying and Cha Duzi seized the opportunity to try and break free.
At that moment, Wang Jian moved. He flashed behind the two of them as they leaped, raised his sword, and a Slash flew out from it.
Cha Duzi chanted, mobilizing more Poison Fungi power to strengthen his defense. "Poisonous Liquid Barrier!" A mass of liquid surged from his back, forming a wall to block the Slash. The poison enveloped the Slash, rolling and writhing, as it devoured the energy.
"Second Ultimate Technique, Phantom Triple Slash!" With his current abilities, he could only create three clones. Wang Jian's form transformed into three shadows in mid-air, attacking Cha Duzi from three blind spots.
"Body into sword... Are you from the Ouyang Family?" Cha Duzi was shocked, his usual composure gone, but he didn't move. Qian Ying moved, his five fingers forming a claw as a magnetic force continuously pulled on the steel sword.
Under the influence of the magnetic force, the sword flew towards Qian Ying, and the phantom attacks were broken without a fight.
"Kid, die! First Change Technique, Poison Grip!" He gathered corrosive poison in one hand and threw a punch.
"Second Ultimate Technique, Gravity Crushing!" Another wave of pressure, already contorting Cha Duzi's face. Despite only being Second Order, he possessed troublesome abilities, making things difficult for him.
Zhao Yang materialized a light sword in his hand and charged toward Qian Ying, shouting, "My sword isn't a magnet, die!"
"You little brat, daring to be so arrogant!" Qian Ying grabbed the steel sword and threw it. With a "clang," Zhao Yang deflected it with his sword.
Li Youwei, who was putting pressure on Cha Duzi, shouted, "Zhao Yang, watch out for the metal nearby!"
"Too late!" Qian Ying waved his hand, and the surrounding advertising iron frames, sign supports, and the iron in the pile of tiles all began to shake. In the next moment, they floated into the air.
"Second Ultimate Technique, Gravity Swamp!" But the metal components in the sky weren't heavy to begin with, and even under pressure, they only slowed down, not affecting his subsequent control.
"Old Li, in your prime, you might have been able to fight me, but save your strength now. You can't even use your Third Order technique."
Looking at the metal components in the sky, a trace of determination flashed in Zhao Yang's eyes. He clenched his teeth and concentrated his energy. The light sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light, as if declaring his resolve to the enemy.
With Qian Ying's wave of his hand, those metal objects rushed towards Zhao Yang like a torrential storm. They roared as they charged towards Zhao Yang.
"Second Defense Technique, Radiant Barrier!" Zhao Yang's eyes narrowed as he used all his strength to defend himself, because the metal attacks were only targeting him.
The advertising iron frames and sign supports flew rapidly through the air, flashing with a chilling cold light, like hungry beasts, eager to break through the barrier.
The scrap metal in the pile also took flight, like an angry swarm of bees, densely swarming toward Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang's "Radiant Barrier" shone with a bright light, like an indestructible wall. However, facing so many metal attacks, it began to tremble slightly, as if under immense pressure.
The moment the metal objects collided with the barrier, a crisp sound of impact erupted, and sparks flew. The light on the barrier flickered violently, as if struggling to resist the powerful impact.
"A mere Second Order, let's see how long you can hold up!" Qian Ying was furious. He stomped his foot, and the fallen metal reassembled in the sky, systematically arranging for the next attack.
"Zhao Yang!" Wang Jian shouted loudly, and with a flash, he rushed forward to provide support, but was hit by a poisonous liquid on his cloak.
The corrosive nature of the poison instantly eroded his clothes. Fortunately, Wang Jian reacted quickly and quickly took off his green cloak, preventing the poison from touching his skin.
"Kid, where are you going…"
Cha Duzi called out sinisterly, his old face so gloomy it seemed like water could be wrung from it, still wearing that annoying, cheap look. "Don't worry, all of you will die here! My research subject is that zombie, who told you to come and die."
Sweat kept seeping out from Zhao Yang's forehead, and his legs couldn't help but tremble slightly.
And the protective shell formed by light had cracks like a spider web. "Crack!" The light barrier shattered.
In Zhao Yang's miserable screams, he was smashed into a honeycomb-like corpse by the metal from above.
"Zhao Yang!" The two shouted, but the person could no longer hear.
