Black Pearl stared at Fang Xin blankly.
Although Fang Xin's appearance had changed, his new face still looked young.
This was precisely why Black Pearl and the others thought Fang Xin might be a hindrance.
Until just now, when Fang Xin instantly killed a Level 3 combatant, they finally began to take him seriously.
Black Pearl snapped out of it, patting her ample chest with lingering fear, then scraped her teeth across her lips at Fang Xin, before seductively licking her lips. "Little brother is really fierce! I just wonder if little brother is fierce in other places too!"
Fang Xin returned a smile, thinking, 'You want to play the old hen eating the chick? Dream on.'
Constant tremors came from upstairs.
Fang Xin darted past the Blonde Man and headed upstairs.
Black Pearl dealt with another enemy, then walked over to Jin Rui's side. "We underestimated him!"
The Blonde Man said in a deep voice, "So young, at least Level 3 combat power. I just saw that his talent is also Strength-based. He must be at least an SS-rank, probably a young master from some super organization out for experience!"
Black Pearl licked her lips. "Then I'll have to taste him even more thoroughly."
Third floor.
It was a mess.
Balu glowed with an earthy yellow light, his body covered in an earthen armor within the glow.
The beautiful woman from earlier was still lying on the bed, now clutching the quilt in terror and cowering in a corner, her screams revealing large expanses of white skin.
A slightly chubby man, wearing torn shorts, was fleeing between suddenly appearing earthen hands.
The man's face was ferocious, and he constantly reached out to grab at Balu.
A nearly transparent large hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed towards Balu's head, causing a certain amount of mental attack.
Ellie stood in the corner, gripping the blue-patterned knife in her hand, ready to choose the right moment for a precise strike.
After Fang Xin went up, Black Pearl and the Blonde Man also followed.
The constantly fleeing chubby man roared, rolled on the ground, and rubbed his finger on a ring, causing a transparent rain cloak to appear. The man immediately put on the transparent rain cloak.
The moment he put it on, the chubby man's body became transparent; he had become invisible.
Fang Xin's heart tightened, and he immediately activated his Perception talent.
Everything in the room appeared in his mind.
Perception talent perfectly countered this kind of invisibility cloak.
He saw a chubby figure holding a strange revolver in both hands, aimed at Balu's head.
"Watch out! He has a gun!" Fang Xin quickly shouted.
With a bang of the gun, Balu's earthy yellow light concentrated around his head, heart, and crotch.
After one shot, the earthy yellow light dissipated.
A small earthy yellow ball shattered and fell to the ground.
Balu's face was pale, and a cut appeared on his forehead, with blood trickling out.
He had almost died.
Balu turned to look at Fang Xin; the slight disdain he had felt for Fang Xin earlier was completely gone, replaced by endless gratitude. Fang Xin had saved his life. If the timing weren't wrong, he would have knelt and kowtowed to Fang Xin right now.
The chubby man turned to look at Fang Xin, a sinister laugh escaping him.
"There's even a Perception talent user!"
As he spoke, the dark muzzle of the gun was aimed directly at Fang Xin.
Seeing this, Balu, though unable to see the chubby man, guessed what was happening and raised his large hand.
An earthen wall rose from the ground in front of Fang Xin.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
The earthen wall Balu summoned instantly disintegrated.
Fang Xin had already flashed to another location.
The Slaughter Rune shimmered on the back of his hand.
"Brother, you call out his position, and I'll kill him!" Balu shouted.
Fang Xin bent down, his eyes fiercely fixed on the chubby man's direction.
"Can't you just make the ground sandy? Then his footprints would appear, wouldn't they?" Fang Xin yelled.
Slap!
Balu slapped his head, suddenly realizing, "Damn! Why didn't I think of that!"
He stomped his foot, and the ground turned to sand.
As the chubby man moved, a series of footprints appeared where he walked.
"Haha! Little brother! You really are my own little brother!" Balu laughed heartily. "I was such a snob just now! Without you, brother, I would really be dead today!"
The chubby man's face was distorted, the muzzle of his gun aimed at Fang Xin.
Fang Xin flashed to dodge. After awakening his Perception talent, he could predict the opponent's shooting direction in advance, narrowly dodging the second shot.
Balu clasped his hands together, and a pair of earthen hands rose from the ground, closing in on the chubby man.
"Haha, got him!"
The earthen hands tightened.
The rain cloak that made the chubby man invisible slipped off, revealing his distorted face and bulging eyes.
Ellie and the Blonde Man successively attacked the chubby man, trying to incapacitate him.
But unexpectedly, the man roared up to the sky.
A green light emanated from the ring on his finger, and the man fed a fruit into his mouth. Bloodshot eyes filled his eyeballs, and he became utterly crazed.
An aura suddenly erupted.
"Forbidden Fruit!" Balu shouted in surprise.
The chubby man's smile was twisted.
"I'd rather live three years less than to temporarily gain Level 5 combat power to kill you all!"
Balu shouted, "Run!"
The chubby man grabbed at Balu from a distance, and a nearly transparent hand appeared behind Balu's head, fiercely squeezing his head.
Balu let out a wail, stumbled, and fell to the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices.
The Blonde Man and Black Pearl fled in succession.
Ellie's face was cold, and she shouted at Fang Xin, "Run!"
But unexpectedly, the chubby man's ring flashed, and he held a foot-long, baton-like object in his hand.
He pointed it at the fleeing Blonde Man, Black Pearl, and Ellie, then pointed it at Fang Xin.
The three who had already jumped out of the window and landed in the courtyard, intending to escape, seemed to be hit by a paralysis spell in mid-air, falling to the ground and unable to move.
The three looked terrified.
The chubby man's gaze fell on Fang Xin, who was still in the room, and he noticed that Fang Xin had not fled.
And he saw Fang Xin make a gesture with one hand placed over his heart.
A smile appeared on the chubby man's face.
He stared at Fang Xin with a ferocious expression.
"Damn it, it's because of you that I was forced to eat the Forbidden Fruit! Eating one Forbidden Fruit means I'll live three years less!
I won't kill you. Since I'm living three years less, I'll torment you for three years first! I'll cut out your tongue first!"
As he spoke, the chubby man moved to cut out Fang Xin's tongue.
Fang Xin had one hand pressed against his heart.
For Fang Xin, in this situation, rather than fleeing, it was better to turn around and fight him!
What's more, he still had the King of Slaughter as his trump card!
Fang Xin silently chanted, "Sseya!"
The chubby man had already reached Fang Xin.
But in that instant, Fang Xin, who should have been immobile, slowly raised his head.
His pupils were crimson.
His face bore an inherent royal disdain.
One hand slowly lifted, his arm encircled by five rings of Slaughter Runes.
"Mortal! Look up at me! And receive the King's judgment!"
