A flash of sword light.
Fang Zheng merely swung the longsword in his hand, and the next moment, he appeared before the Star Alliance soldiers. Faced with this human who had suddenly appeared in front of them, the aliens were clearly stunned as well. Soon, Fang Zheng saw the tiny aliens with dwarf-like proportions, looking like severely disabled children, scream and turn to run away. Meanwhile, the wolf-like aliens raised the shields in their hands before them and aimed their guns at Fang Zheng with their other hands.
However, Fang Zheng paid no attention to the monsters' reactions. He kicked a shield, sending the Gnoll sprawling to the ground, then immediately drove his sword down in a backhanded thrust. The instant the Pitch Black Greatsword struck the Gnoll, a flash of light burst from its body. At the same time, Fang Zheng felt a sensation through his blade like stabbing a balloon. Yet that feeling lasted only an instant. In the blink of an eye, the Gnoll's shield was shattered by Fang Zheng's strike, and the sharp blade easily pierced through its head.
"Gah gah gah!!"
At that moment, Fang Zheng saw the short, gnome-like alien from before poke its head out from behind cover and pull the trigger at him. Several purple beams soon came shooting toward him.
To Fang Zheng's surprise, these alien "bullets" traveled far more slowly than he had expected. Although he had not activated Time Manipulation, in his eyes, the "bullets" drifted along slowly enough to dodge with ease. So he shifted aside and flashed to the other side, avoiding the seemingly harmless attack.
"These alien weapons don't seem like much... Holy shit!"
What Fang Zheng had not expected was that before he could finish speaking, those purple "bullets" suddenly accelerated, then curved toward him!
