Chapter 102 - Escaping from Burial Grounds (XXXII)

Editor: Kitty

So under Xing Yan’s instruction, Luo Jian agreed to let Duan Li take action, but when Duan Li was making preparations, the enemies also acted.

The vampire team captain took the lead in approaching.

In fact, the vampire team captain had exchanged moves with Duan Li before. His abilities were the same as a vampire’s; he had an extremely terrifying self-healing ability. No matter how seriously he was injured, he would not completely die. Moreover, he could transform himself into a colony of bats that could flutter here and there as they attacked. This ability gave Duan Li a headache.

When Duan Li unleashed the fifth segment, he only had a few seconds to carry out his attack. In those few seconds, his speed would be infinitely close to the speed of light, which meant that he could move at the speed of light. That also meant that he would be very fast and would be able to cut the enemy down without them feeling it.

The problem was that even if he wanted to cut someone, he had to cut the right person.

There was only one way to kill such a fellow like the vampire team captain, who could not be chopped to death. One could either find his fatal weakness and kill him within seconds or split him into countless pieces in an instant so that he could not recover.

Duan Li tried to find out the weakness of this guy when he was fighting with the vampire team captain before. The weaknesses of an ordinary person were their heart and brain. However, Duan Li found that this guy was a little weird because when certain parts of the vampire team captain were attacked, they would liquefy!

In other words, this fellow could turn himself into a pool of bloody liquid!

Therefore, Duan Li could not tell exactly what this fellow’s weakness was. It wouldn’t work for him to attack his heart, brain, or other places. But that was not the main point because Duan Li could also see that although this fool could ‘liquefy’ his body into blood, blood was also considered a liquid. If the temperature was too high, the liquid would evaporate, and the evaporated liquid wouldn’t be able to restructure back to his body. The more blood was lost, the less material and structure could be reconstituted back to his body. After a certain degree of it had evaporated, there would be no way for him to reform his body again.

This was an advantage that Duan Li held because he was not lacking heat. When a person’s speed reached the speed of light, his blade would be infinitely faster than that, and the energy generated by his movements would create spectacularly high temperatures. It was not a problem for him even if he had to evaporate the entire vampire team captain in an instant.

After figuring this out, Duan Li just had to wait for an opportunity. He waited for the other party to take the jade pendant out, and once he did, Duan Li would end the lives of these people instantaneously. Then, after retrieving the jade pendant, they would be able to slowly look for the exit.

However, what happened next was not as simple as he had thought.

Some changes seemed to happen within the enemy team. Although the female strategist took out half of the jade pendant, she refused to take the other half out, and the boy with the umbrella suddenly took off and floated in the air. He floated to the side of the vampire team captain. It seemed that he wanted to replace him in holding back the enemies.

“Yan Hua asked me to replace you.”

“Such a fellow like you can fight too?” The vampire team captain looked at the boy disdainfully.

The boy held his umbrella up and smiled: “Of course. Otherwise, how could I live to this day?”

The vampire team captain’s eyes twinkled. He had never seen the boy make a move. After all, he looked to be just a little boy. How powerful could he be? He was collectively excluded by everyone from all battles, but now, to be able to witness this little rascal’s abilities would also be considered good.

When the vampire team captain thought of this, he very generously gave his position away and let the poor, thin, and short boy stand in front of a line-up of stalwart men like Luo Jian and the others.

Duan Li narrowed his eyes under his mask and turned to talk to Luo Jian and Feng YuLan: “You two, step back.”

Duan Li had not seen the specifics of this little boy’s ability, but this did not prevent him from speculating about it. Thinking of this, Duan Li unconsciously turned his head to look at the stalker next to him. It seemed that Xing Yan was not going to stay still this time. They eyed each other and fixed their gazes on the boy in front of them.

One was afraid that this child was the fifth and last person of the enemy team. According to Feng YuLan’s previous behaviour, he may have some type ability that could confuse others. Moreover, it seemed that he could use some techniques like ‘stealth,’ which made it difficult to sense his presence.

The boy’s weapon was likely the red umbrella that never left his hand, but before this, Duan Li had never fought with an enemy who used an umbrella as a weapon, so he must be careful before taking action. Fortunately, this time, even Xing Yan did not want to be a bystander and took the initiative to stand in front of Duan Li.

The boy in front of him seemed to be reluctant to expose his face. The edge of the umbrella was tipped so low that no one could see his face. He did not seem to want to initiate this battle and remained standing there, immobile. It was rather inappropriate to say that he was standing because the child didn’t seem to need to walk. He could float around, and his toes were always a few centimeters away from the ground.

Xing Yan paid full attention to the child. He remembered something that the child had said to him before. It was hard for the child to hide his intention of cozying up to him when he had greeted him with his strange mannerisms, as if greeting a friend that he had not seen for a very long time.

Who is he? Xing Yan thought.

After searching through his memories, he found that there was no one like this child.

But the other party obviously knew him. According to that tone he used, he might be someone who was acquainted with him. Then, he reasonably conjectured, the other party may indeed be someone that Xing Yan knew. It was just that this person had changed his appearance...... to be exact, maybe even his body had been replaced.

If this person had even replaced his body, then this person was likely to have ‘died.’ Only the dead would come back to life in other people’s bodies. Thus, he could be someone familiar in Xing Yan’s memory who had already died—but after careful consideration, Xing Yan found that there was still no such person.

Everyone that Xing Yan knew had their individual and unique abilities, but they did not have the ability to seize someone else’s body and resurrect. Apart from this, the little boy’s character and vocal tone seemed not to match the several people in Xing Yan’s memory...... Wait, in the case where......

Xing Yan froze and then turned around to look at Luo Jian next to him. Luo Jian’s attention was also focused on the boy, but he acutely sensed the stalker looking at him and turned to focus on the stalker.

Luo Jian’s eyes were as beautiful as two black pearls, which attracted Xing Yan to stare straight into them. For a while, he couldn’t turn his eyes away, but soon, the stalker forced himself to turn away from him. Now that they were about to start a battle, he could not afford to be absent-minded.

Duan Li was the first one who became unable to bear such a situation. He was not a patient man, so he drew out his knife and ferociously charged. By maintaining his speed at second or third segment, he was able to move fast enough that others just saw a blurred shadow. But what shocked Duan Li the most was that when he swung his sword downwards, the little boy stepped backwards lightly while floating and appropriately dodged the attack.

The first strike missed.

He carried on attacking continuously afterwards. Xing Yan also did not stay idle. When Duan Li initiated the attack, he also launched his skills. When Xing Yan teleported a short distance, the boy retreated to avoid the attack. When he was avoiding the attack, he coincidentally shifted behind Xing Yan’s back and using a sharp knife, he cruelly jabbed—

However, he did not manage to strike his opponent successfully, either.

The boy rose up in the air and dodged at that instant when the stalker attacked him. He seemed to turn his head a little to take a look at the stalker, and the raised umbrella revealed half of his face. His complexion was unbelievably pale, and his eyes were like to black pearls.

For a moment, as the two pairs of eyes stared at each other, Xing Yan felt his heart palpitate. His brain seemed to have stopped working. A terrible conjecture formed in his mind and made him unable to respond for a while. Even as his companion, Duan Li, very cooperatively followed his pace as they launched an attack, Xing Yan found he was unable to continue attacking.

Therefore, the short-term battle came to an abrupt end. The boy floated in the air without any injuries, the umbrella he was holding swaying as he flew, and the stalker merely raised his head to look at him. The way he looked at him was as if he had seen the most miraculous thing in his life.

“Captain!” Duan Li, who stood at the corner, became worried. He did not understand what Xing Yan was thinking. During the battle, he did not move but just stared at the enemy in a daze. What did that mean?! However, even if Xing Yan was not willing to take action, Duan Li did not intend to stop his attack because they did not have many chances left. He must break away from this encirclement!

As Duan Li thought about this, he drew his sword upwards and raised his speed to appear in front of the boy at an inhuman speed. This time, Duan Li knew that he would not miss again because when he had raised his speed again, the boy’s response was obviously slower than his. At this very moment, the boy had shown his flaws, and Duan Li did not hesitate to seize the opportunity to stab at him.

It seemed that the child was helpless when dealing with Duan Li’s speed. Since he could not evade the attack, he simply put down his defenses and did not evade. The umbrella in his hand suddenly swung upwards, and he threw his weapon away as it flung up. Without the buoyancy and flying ability of the umbrella, the child naturally dropped vertically as he allowed himself to fall freely. At the same time, he also evaded Duan Li’s blade coincidentally.

Since the boy was not floating at a large height, even if he fell down, it was not a big deal. He rolled flexibly to lessen the impact of the fall when he landed. Similarly, with a swing of his hand, the umbrella he had thrown away flew back to him as if it had been summoned!

But Duan Li was not a newbie, either. He knew how special and important the boy’s ability was. If the boy completely discarded his weapon, he could not float around in the air with the umbrella, which made it easier for Duan Li to hit him. Moreover, Duan Li could see that as long as he was not holding his umbrella, the child had almost no attacking or defensive abilities!

Therefore, Duan Li responded in just a few seconds and increased his speed again. This time, instead of waving his sword at the boy, he raised his blade toward the boy’s umbrella.

Once weapons were destroyed, it was very troublesome to deal with, although they could be repaired.

The boy’s expression was cold and indifferent, and he seemed to have made his decision instantaneously. He raised his right hand, opened his fingers, and turned his palm toward his red umbrella, which was still flying in the air. He chanted lowly, “Shift!”

Almost at the same time, when Duan Li was about to split the umbrella in two with his tang sword, he suddenly saw something that shocked him. Yes! He saw that the red umbrella seemed to transform into another shape!

It was a weapon that was capable of transforming!

But when Duan Li had yet to see what was happening clearly—for example, what the umbrella had transformed into—the umbrella vanished from plain sight. It was similar to Xing Yan’s teleportation ability; it disappeared from its original location to somewhere else—in the boy’s palm.

When the weapon returned to his palm, it returned to the shape of an umbrella. The boy stroked the edges of the red umbrella, opened it again, used it to shade his head, and covered his face again.

Duan Li panted heavily. Instead of continuing to attack, he withdrew his sword and turned around to look at the boy.

He was a very tricky opponent.

Duan Li realized that the boy had extraordinary reflexes and battle awareness. It was as if he had been trained, as if he always knew what kind of attack Duan Li would make after every move. This unconsciously made Duan Li feel strange.

It was like the other party knew what abilities his weapon possessed.

But why? Could it be that he really had the means to control people’s hearts. For example, did he control Ah Lan previously to force him into giving information regarding their team?

If so, how should I deal with him?

Luo Jian and Ah Lan, who were watching from the side, were not focused on the battle because they each harbored other thoughts in their mind. Luo Jian noticed that the stalker’s behavior was abnormal and found Xing Yan had been staring at the boy. However, during the battle, the boy either covered his face with his umbrella or lowered his head to allow his hair to cover his face. In other words, Luo Jian just couldn’t see what he looked like, but he didn’t care about this.

He was more concerned about Xing Yan’s reaction. Instead of participating in the battle, Xing Yan started to idly stand to the side, and it seemed he was troubled by something. He stared at the boy for quite a while, then lowered his head silently as if thinking of something. His brows were deeply scrunched together.

Luo Jian wanted to go over to Xing Yan’s side, but just as he stepped forward, Feng YuLan, who was standing next to him, suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm. Luo Jian could not help but halt. He turned back to look at Ah Lan.

Feng YuLan deliberately obstructed Luo Jian’s action. This time, he did it intentionally, although he was not sure what the purpose behind his actions was. He just instinctively did not want Luo Jian to leave his side.

Therefore, he said, “Don’t randomly walk around. It’s dangerous.”

Luo Jian, in turn, caught Ah Lan instead: “We’ll be fine. Let’s go to Xing Yan’s side.”

Feng YuLan’s expression was a little stiff: “But he’s a stalker.”

“But he helped us before. We’ll be fine. Come with me.”

“Luo Jian, no matter how much you trust him, you must always be on your guard.”

This time, Luo Jian did not speak. For a long time, he had an expression as if he was studying Ah Lan, and he said, “Feng YuLan, you’re acting somewhat strangely.”

Ah Lan paused momentarily, and his body could not help but shiver slightly at that moment. Then, he took a deep breath and released Luo Jian’s arm.

“I know,” Feng YuLan said, “I’m just confused. I don’t know who to trust.”

Luo Jian gave him a smile. “Then you just have to trust me.”

Feng YuLan raised his head and gave Luo Jian a look filled with profound meaning: “I have always trusted you, regardless of it being in the past or the future.”
