At the critical moment when tensions were at their peak, a clear and firm voice shouted, "Stop!" breaking the highly charged atmosphere. Everyone instinctively halted their actions and turned to look.
Lin Lang also used his Divine Sense to scan the area—
The one who had spoken was none other than Liu Lan, the woman with A-level Combat Power! At this moment.
She was walking towards the man.
However, the people along the way seemed to avoid her like the plague, quickly stepping aside to keep their distance! This detail made Lin Lang ponder.
...
Liu Lan walked up to Zhou Feng, the leader of the black-clad men, and reproached him, "Zhou Feng, it's one thing for you to kill Ferocious Beasts, but how can you be so cold-blooded towards people? Can't you just ask properly?"
Upon hearing this.
Zhou Feng sneered dismissively, "Teacher Liu, you should focus more on preparing for your own mission!"
"Our methods are none of your concern…"
"No!"
Liu Lan firmly retorted!
"If you continue to kill indiscriminately, don't expect my cooperation!"
Zhou Feng turned his head.
With his one remaining eye, he coldly met her gaze.
Liu Lan didn't back down either!
The air suddenly became tense!
Both sides remained silent for a while.
Finally!
It was Zhou Feng who compromised, "Teacher Liu, let's try it your way then. After all, what the boss wants is just the sacred artifact."
Then.
He took a step back, giving Liu Lan some space.
Liu Lan stepped forward.
She spoke gently to Lin Lang:
"Young man, did you happen to pick up something a few days ago?"
Lin Lang's gaze swept over the woman—
She called him "young man," which suggested she was older than him.
But her voice sounded very clear.
She must be a young woman.
"No."
After all, compared to Zhou Feng, Liu Lan's attitude was much better.
So Lin Lang answered her decisively and sincerely.
"Damn it!"
Upon hearing this!
Zhou Feng couldn't hold back and cursed Lin Lang viciously.
He was itching to rush over and kill him right then and there!
But Lin Lang impatiently glanced at him, "What are you barking about? If you're not happy, come take a bite out of me!"
"You bastard!"
Zhou Feng was instantly enraged! He made a move to pounce on Lin Lang!
But Liu Lan stepped in front of him, her tone displeased, "Zhou Feng, I'm the one questioning him now!"
Zhou Feng's eyes were filled with murderous intent! But he didn't dare to step past Liu Lan.
He could only grit his teeth and say, "Teacher Liu! We don't have much time left!"
"Ask this kid three more questions!"
"After three questions! If we still don't get an answer, I'm going to take action!"
...
Liu Lan ignored him.
Her gaze returned to Lin Lang.
Her tone was slightly hesitant, "So, these past few days, has anything strange happened to you?"
...
On the third floor of the villa, in the bedroom.
Xu Xingyao crouched by the window, carefully listening to the commotion below.
She clicked her tongue in annoyance, "How annoying, I was just having fun with Lin Lang!"
"Why do they have to interrupt?"
"And what's this about a treasure? What treasure is there here? Isn't it just me, a youthful and beautiful girl?"
"Hmph! If Lin Lang doesn't come back soon, the water's going to dry up…"
...
At the front of the villa.
Lin Lang's gaze shifted past Liu Lan.
He provocatively locked eyes with Zhou Feng, "If you're only giving me three sentences, then I'll tell you this…"
"You, either get lost."
"Or come over here and die."
"Got it?"
...
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the team gasped in shock! Even Liu Lan, in a panic, exclaimed, "Young man! Don't provoke him, he's a B++ level Esper..."
But it was already too late!
Zhou Feng moved with incredible speed!
His figure was like a black lightning bolt!
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Lin Lang! Then came a throat lock! This strike would surely send this ignorant kid to hell to repent! The eyes of the crowd also revealed a desire: "Boss, kill him!"
"No..."
Only Liu Lan.
Her gaze was urgent!
But she was powerless to do anything...
...
However! As Zhou Feng charged over with great momentum.
Lin Lang calmly shifted his body slightly, effortlessly dodging the attack.
"Ah!"
The crowd exclaimed in surprise!
It seemed no one had expected Lin Lang to be able to dodge!
Even more so!
He dared to say nonchalantly, "So, you're asking for death, huh?"
"What?!"
No mistake, no deviation, no content in 69 Book Bar!
Zhou Feng, seeing Lin Lang so dismissive of him? His anger erupted!
He let out a loud shout and attacked Lin Lang again! This time! He used his full strength!
The wind from his fist howled!
But! Lin Lang casually grabbed his iron fist.
"Huh?"
Zhou Feng was dumbfounded!
It felt like his punch had hit some impenetrable wall!
Not only did it hurt! But a tremendous force clamped down on his fist, making it impossible to pull back!
He looked at Lin Lang in astonishment, as if he had seen a ghost!...
"Ah?!"
Seeing this scene, the crowd was also shocked—
Lin Lang dodging that attack only proved his agility! But now! Zhou Feng's full-powered punch, enhanced by his "Great Strength" superpower! Was actually blocked by him?
This kid is not simple! "But the Superpower Core on this person is only at a C level..."
In the black-clothed team! Several people who had awakened the "Intuition" ability were all surprised!
They didn't know! The Combat Power information they had detected from Lin Lang was just the tip of the iceberg that Lin Lang had intentionally revealed! Liu Lan's eyes also trembled! But she suddenly realized something! She immediately shouted to Lin Lang, "Young man, don't be impulsive, we can cooperate..."
But it was already too late.
Lin Lang no longer wanted to play the "old man teasing a child" game with Zhou Feng.
A bloodthirsty beast that kills on sight.
Wasn't worth his mercy.
So.
He gripped Zhou Feng's iron fist!
With a slight exertion!
A terrifying sound of steel shattering reached the ears of everyone on the field! "Ah!"
Zhou Feng also screamed in pain!
"Gasp!"
The crowd inhaled sharply! Zhou Feng's other ability was "Iron Bones"!
All 206 bones in his body had been completely steel-transformed! Even a tank couldn't crush them!
Yet, they were shattered by a flesh-and-blood person with just a palm?
They stood there dumbfounded!
Even forgetting to step forward to help!
...
The next moment! Lin Lang's gaze was sharp!
A domineering Divine Sense, from Zhou Feng's single eye, invaded his consciousness!
"No!"
Zhou Feng sensed this eerie intrusion! His gaze was filled with terror!
But Lin Lang's lips curled! After shattering the fragile defense in his consciousness!
He ruthlessly obliterated all of his awareness!
"Ugh!"
Zhou Feng suddenly stiffened all over! His gaze turned vacant!
It wasn't until Lin Lang released his grip.
He remained frozen in place, maintaining his previous posture.
...
"B-boss..."
The onlookers had no idea what had just happened.
But seeing Zhou Feng standing there motionless, they thought he might already be dead!
"Y-you... who exactly are you?"
They turned to Lin Lang, their voices trembling as they asked.
Their eyes were filled with fear, as if they were staring into the face of a monster!
Unfortunately, their entire bodies were cloaked in black robes.
Their faces were invisible.
But Lin Lang guessed they must have turned as pale as sheets.
"With such meager Combat Power, what kind of mystery are you trying to create?"
"Show your true form to me!"
Lin Lang shouted angrily! Then, a terrifying Purple Aura erupted from his body!
It transformed into a fierce gale! The group of black-robed men before him were blown so hard they couldn't even stand steady! Their loose black robes were all blown away!...
The gale subsided.
But the moment he saw their full appearance.
Lin Lang's expression changed! "Huh?"
