Thus, from the shadow at Tobio Lihua’s feet, within the shadow, Huai Zhisu quietly extended a finger, flexed it, then flicked!
Snap!
In the silence, a soft crack sounded suddenly.
The sleeping elder abruptly opened his eyes, the ancient Long Spear in his arms quivered, about to let out a low hum.
But then, he saw a hand suddenly appear out of thin air in front of him.
In the palm was a small mirror, which reflected his aging eyes.
A dim light silently flashed through his eyes, and then, he froze in place, lost and bewildered, completely forgetting where he was.
Meanwhile, Tobio Lihua swiftly retracted the mirror, lowered her head and stroked the surface, showing a hint of regret and pain, wasting no time as she leaned against the door, quickly starting to crack the warehouse door’s password.
Soon, with a soft click, her figure disappeared behind the door, taking Huai Shi with her.
In the spacious warehouse, there were no more surveillance cameras.
Probably a consideration made during the initial design—if an opponent could get in effortlessly, any additional security and surveillance would be pointless.
Besides, the Arakawa Family found the constant coming in and going out quite troublesome too, didn’t they?
Such a hassle...
Huai Shi quietly clicked his tongue.
Tobio Lihua put away the candle and moved swiftly. Without paying attention to the shelves on either side, she charged straight to the innermost part, paused momentarily after scanning the area.
Suddenly, she turned around.
Then she noticed an unbelievable figure slowly emerging from the shadow behind her...
The intruder had a stunning face and a beautiful figure, with a slender body leaning back, holding a majestic and ornate long spear upside down in her right hand, thrusting it fiercely at her rear!
Backstab!
"You insolent scoundrel, reveal your true form at once!"
Seeing her cover blown, Huai Shi immediately shouted furiously: "Great Mighty Heavenly—"
Unfortunately, before he could shout the word "Dragon", his voice was swallowed by the stagnant air.
Tobio Lihua flicked her wrist, her slender bracelet lighting up, and a spherical force field spread abruptly, instantly engulfing both of them, freezing all sound.
Everything fell silent.
Two daggers had already sprung from Lihua’s hands, stabbing straight at the face of the ambusher, as fast as lightning!
Huai Shi’s long spear abruptly vanished, replaced by a blood-stained Grudge sweeping across. Amidst the proliferation of iron feathers, the sharp long knife deflected the daggers, aiming directly at Lihua’s chest.
First the rear, then the chest—Huai Shi even felt he was being outrageously perverse.
But immediately following, Lihua’s daggers flew out quietly, tracing two strange arcs in the air, targeting Huai Shi’s neck and back.
As Tobio Lihua’s body fell backward, she performed a bridge move, dodging the sweep of Grudge. Next, an empty right hand suddenly presented a handgun, repeatedly pulling the trigger at Huai Shi.
The tumult was extinguished in the silence, but the bullets burned with radiance, flying towards Huai Shi.
There was no time to block the bullets.
But before Lihua even pulled the trigger, Huai Shi had already raised the knife blade, blocking it in front of the gun muzzle.
Accompanied by a violent tremor in his arm, four hexagonal cursed bullets disintegrated upon the blade of Grudge, and the shards were devoured by Grudge.
Huai Shi felt a chill rise from his heels to the back of his brain.
Death Perception was finally fading away.
Who knew how maliciously cursed those bullets were, almost matching the Numbered Curse Bullet tailored by the Astronomical Society for wanted criminals.
If those bullets hit, forget about the Soloist, even the Great Priestess would have a tough time handling it.
As his hair stood on end, Huai Shi casually dispelled the Grudge, the floor beneath shaking, and his whole body lunged forward.
Using Yu Step + Drummer, the distance Lihua had pulled apart was crossed in an instant, then, the hastily prepared stance shattered under a hit from the Drummer, her arms involuntarily springing open to the sides, even the bracelet on her wrist maintaining the silence shattered, exposing an open opportunity.
Relentless chasing of wind and moon.
Master Huai pinned her to the ground, about to cut through her middle line.
Tobio Lihua landed, and suddenly whimpered softly, raising a pitiful face, appearing as if on the verge of tears.
Her complexion was as radiant as jade, as if a crescent emerged in haze, a floral tree piled with snow, tender and charming, alluring in speech, soft and delicate, unmatched in beauty.
In her graceful elegance, there was a sense of etherealness, a pink face with a touch of vermilion lips, shyness in her expression.
"Oh!"
Huai Shi’s movements paused, involuntarily freezing in place, stunned.
But as her long hair swept across his face, a familiar smell, no, a familiar scent of shampoo rushed towards him!
...Bawang!
In that instant, Huai Shi was struck like a thunderbolt, blurting out: "Old Liu?"
"Damn, you’re... Huai Shi?"
The daggers aimed at his kidneys paused, ’Tobio Lihua’s’ expression twitched, staring hard at Huai Zhisu, utterly stupefied.
"Why are you wearing women’s clothing?"
In the awkward silence, he was stunned for a long time, retracting his Soul Ability: "You’re quite bold!"
"Damn it, you have the nerve to talk about others!"
Huai Shi snapped back to his senses, immediately furious: "Aren’t you wearing women’s clothing too? And seducing innocent young men, I saw it clearly!"
Could he not see it clearly?
He was the one being seduced...
