Fang Xin’s palm was directly facing the fat man.
The Slaughter Rune on the back of his hand was extremely crimson.
A ring formed by five Slaughter Runes rapidly rotated around Fang Xin’s arm.
The fat man stared at Fang Xin’s crimson eyes.
His mind was shaken.
He had never seen such a Talent before.
Nor had he ever felt such an overwhelmingly powerful aura, like a monarch descending.
His face was distorted and ferocious.
He wanted to escape.
But his legs felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move an inch.
He had clearly used a treasure to immobilize Fang Xin.
Yet, at this moment, it was he himself who was immobilized.
Fang Xin’s palm was directly facing the fat man.
Boom!
The Ring of Slaughter wrapped around his arm solidly imprinted itself onto the man.
The man staggered back five steps.
Five crimson concentric circles appeared on his chest.
Just like a target.
And the bullseye of the target was the man’s heart.
Fang Xin raised his hand again.
As the five Rings of Slaughter spun wildly around his arm.
The ring furthest from his fingers was the smallest, and the rings closer to his arm grew larger and larger.
It was like a Slaughter Cone.
Fang Xin thrust his hand through the air towards the bullseye on the man’s chest.
The Slaughter Cone pierced through the man’s chest.
The man lowered his head.
His mouth was open.
Trickles of blood flowed from his mouth.
His bulging eyes saw a fist-sized blood-hole, transparent from front to back, appear in his chest.
The man struggled to raise his head, looking at Fang Xin with disbelief.
“What… what kind of Talent is this?!”
Thud!
The man knelt on the ground.
He fell headfirst to the ground.
Fang Xin made a grabbing motion in the air towards the man.
A speck of crimson light flew into Fang Xin’s palm.
Visibly, the fourth Slaughter Rune on the back of Fang Xin’s hand became even more crimson.
“A Mental Talent can indeed be boosted!”
His gaze shifted.
His crimson eyes stared at the woman hiding by the bed.
The woman was already terrified, having never seen such a bizarre sight.
In her panic, she knocked over the nightstand and saw a gun inside it.
The woman held the gun with both hands, pointing it directly at Fang Xin.
She saw Fang Xin looking at her.
The woman figured she might not escape today, so she might as well fight. Without another word, she fired a shot at Fang Xin.
Fang Xin tilted his head slightly.
The bullet grazed Fang Xin’s cheek and passed by.
But it still left a bloody mark on his cheek.
Fang Xin’s crimson eyes stared at the woman.
He raised his hand and wiped away the blood overflowing from his cheek.
Almost in the next second.
The wound on his face miraculously healed.
This abnormal self-healing ability stunned the woman.
Killing intent flashed in Fang Xin’s crimson eyes. The arm wrapped in the Ring of Slaughter was raised again, pointing directly at the woman.
Boom!
A sonic boom erupted.
A blood-hole appeared in the woman’s chest, and she softly fell to the ground.
Fang Xin’s gaze moved.
He spread his arms.
A speck of crimson light emanated from each of the dead individuals on the first floor, second floor, and in the yard, heading towards Fang Xin’s arm, which was wrapped in the Ring of Slaughter. They silently merged into Fang Xin’s arm, making the fourth rune even more vibrant and crimson. It felt as if the fifth rune could be lit at any moment.
The Ring of Slaughter wrapped around his arm also gained a few shades of crimson.
Fang Xin casually waved his arm.
The Ring of Slaughter receded into his arm.
The crimson in his eyes faded like a tide.
Gradually turning black.
Fang Xin clutched his chest, panting heavily, and squatted on the ground, propping himself up with one hand. The moment he came to his senses, his heart was pounding fiercely, feeling as if it would leap out of his mouth.
His face was pale, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
When his body was taken over just now, he felt like he was watching everything the King of Slaughter did from a god’s-eye view.
Looking at the two corpses on the ground.
Fang Xin had never expected.
That the King of Slaughter, born from his Slaughter Talent, could be so terrifying.
Looking at the man’s corpse.
A thought flashed through Fang Xin’s mind: he needed to figure out a way to trick Ally and the others.
Sensing there were no cameras in this place, Fang Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As the fat man died.
The restrictions on Ally and the others, who were immobilized outside, were also lifted one after another.
The Blonde Man and Black Pearl both looked surprised and warily turned to look at the third floor.
The two of them dared not approach the villa. They first ran to a safe area, and in their haste, they also showed camaraderie, pulling along Balu, who was severely injured and unconscious.
Ally turned around. Fang Xin was still inside. She was the one who brought Fang Xin here. Now that Fang Xin’s life was uncertain, she absolutely could not just leave.
Now that the immobilization was lifted, this situation could only mean that the fat man was dead or he had voluntarily removed the restriction, but the second possibility was almost zero.
But if it was the first, the fat man had reached Level 5 through the Forbidden Fruit. Could Fang Xin have killed him?
Ally felt this possibility was very small, but recalling her first meeting with Fang Xin, where he could instantly kill a Level 4 early-stage Mutant, it seemed not entirely impossible for him to have killed the fat man.
But no matter what, she absolutely could not abandon Fang Xin. Ally gritted her teeth, activated her Assassination Talent, plunged into the shadows, and went upstairs.
When she saw the fat man’s corpse, Ally was stunned. He was indeed dead.
Her gaze shifted to Fang Xin, seeing him lying on his side on the ground, his face pale.
Ally quickly stepped forward, “Fang Xin, are you injured anywhere?”
Fang Xin clutched his chest, shaking his head with difficulty at Ally.
“What happened just now? Did you kill him?” Ally asked again.
Fang Xin spoke nonsense with a serious face, “I don’t know either. I was immobilized just now, then my heart inexplicably felt uncomfortable, and I fainted. I don’t know what happened after that.”
Ally reached out and touched Fang Xin’s chest, finding that his heart was beating very rapidly, seemingly not lying. Ally was also confused, wondering who had killed this man.
Noticing Fang Xin’s heart beating very fast, Ally quickly picked him up, “I’ll take you to the hospital!”
“Then you’d better hurry. If we go to the hospital later, I’ll be fine.”
Ally paused, unsure how to respond for a moment. Ever since she first met Fang Xin, he always had a Talent for saying things that made people want to punch him.
Fang Xin gestured that he was fine, “I’ll be okay after a short rest!”
He glanced at the fat man, who was now a corpse, “He’s dead, the lead is broken, no more clues can be found.”
Ally was silent for a moment before saying, “It’s okay, as long as you’re alive. We can find clues slowly. I remember you also have a Mental Talent. Once your Mental Talent awakens and your combat power reaches a certain level, you can use your Mental Talent to force enemies to speak the truth!”
Fang Xin was slightly startled; Mental Talent had such a function.
“You mean, you want to team up with me next time?” Fang Xin asked.
“Can I?” Ally’s voice was a little small, her tone cautious, and a bit pleading.
Fang Xin looked at Ally.
The first time he saw Ally, in the alley, all her teammates were gone. The second time he saw her, at the Ocean Theme Park, one of her teammates was gone, and two were severely injured. The third time he saw her, today, the tall guy was severely injured, so badly that even if he recovered, he’d drool.
Fang Xin felt that Ally might have some strange Talent, like a teammate-killer. This kind of Talent could actually be used as an undercover agent in enemy territory.
Looking at Ally’s expression, Fang Xin rubbed his gradually calming chest, “When is the next team-up?”
“The exact time is uncertain, but I have another lead, and results should be available in as little as two weeks!”
After considering it carefully, Fang Xin said, “Two weeks from now? That might not work. I have something to do. My great-uncle’s second wedding, and he wants me to be a groomsman.”
Ally pouted and smiled, “My fault, I didn’t get enough intelligence, and this time we almost lost our lives! I’m sorry!”
“Don’t apologize, just reimburse my medical expenses!”
Ally pursed her lips, picked up the immobilization baton from the ground, then picked up the gun that almost killed Balu, took off her invisibility cloak, and pulled a ring off the man’s hand, handing it to Fang Xin, “This is for you. As I promised before, all the spoils of war are yours!”
Fang Xin looked at the ring. To be honest, he was indeed tempted by these items, but Fang Xin had suffered losses from this before.
Earlier, when Fang Xin targeted Mutants, he also got equipment, but these pieces of equipment were all bound to their owners. If the other party had a powerful backer, they would trace the aura left on the equipment. After suffering a loss once, Fang Xin never picked up equipment again.
“It has his aura. What if I take it and the other party comes looking for me?”
“Spoils of war from other Divisions need to be handed over, but the Ninth Division has a special channel to remove the aura from spoils of war for its members! You just need to scan the spoils of war with your Smart Connect Device!”
Fang Xin picked up the items.
Black Pearl and the Blonde Man, sensing no movement inside, came in from outside.
They were both shocked when they saw the man was dead, and they all looked at Fang Xin.
“You killed him?”
Fang Xin shook his head, “I don’t know!”
“You don’t know?”
Fang Xin repeated the same story he had told Ally to the two of them, and they were half-convinced.
The group split up and checked the room inside and out.
Black Pearl looked upstairs, “How did a Level 5 die?”
The Blonde Man thought for a moment, then said with more conviction, “It must be as I guessed. He’s a young master from a super organization who came out to gain experience. Just now, either an elder helped him, or he carried some powerful, unshowable treasure with great destructive power!”
Black Pearl licked her lips, “I’m getting more and more eager to taste him!”
Before parting, Black Pearl slipped a small note into Fang Xin’s pocket, then made a gesture to Fang Xin to remember to call, and got into the car.
Fang Xin pulled out the note, which was a contact method, and casually threw it away.
He parted ways with Ally at a park outside Fang Xin’s home.
After returning home.
Fang Xin pulled out his Smart Connect Device.
He indeed found an option for a “Spoils of War Processing Room.”
Fang Xin held the ring and sensed it, discovering that the space inside was not small, equivalent to a room, and there were quite a few items piled up.
Besides the immobilization stick, revolver, and invisibility cloak he saw, there was also a pile of cash, about seven million.
Fang Xin suddenly let out a soft “eh.”
He sensed something.
