A Formidable Enemy

Under the watchful eye of the Mechanical Insect, everything that happened in the warehouse was reflected on the projection in front of Gu Ding, not only the images but even the sounds were clearly audible.

"Brigan, take her off the chair, and then give me the key to this Magic Sealing Lock. That will complete the handover between us. Our young master's deal with you will be completely over." Trick walked behind Liliath and looked at the Magic Restriction Lock binding her on her back.

"Wait a minute," Brigan suddenly called out, "I've only received 20 percent of the deposit for this mission so far. How does your young master plan to pay the balance? Should you inform him that the transaction is over and settle my balance?"

Trick sneered, "What, do you think the Child Family can't afford this?"

"I didn't say that. I just hope you can settle my bill as soon as possible." Brigan didn't like Trick's tone. "Besides, having money and being willing to pay are two completely different things."

"So you're accusing the Child Family of being unwilling to pay this money?" Trick sneered again.

"This is a deal between me and your young master. I don't need to waste my breath on you here. If you don't want to call him, then I'll do it myself." Brigan said, looking down to look up the number of the young master of the Child Family.

At that moment, Trick also winked at the two people behind him.

After receiving a signal from Trick, the two struck with lightning speed. They attacked from the left and right, targeting Brigan's throat and heart.

The two attacks were like arrows, swift and powerful, clearly intended to take Brigan's life.

Although Brigan wasn't good at fighting, he was excellent at escaping, and he was also very sensitive to killing intent. The moment the two men's killing intent was undisguised, Brigan immediately sensed it. Without even raising his head, he retreated frantically.

"It seems you've made your intentions quite clear: that young master of the Child Family never intended to pay the balance from the very beginning." Brigan remained confident.

"That's right, because dead people don't need any compensation." Trick nodded smugly.

"You think these two can stop me? While my combat skills are average, don't forget, I can steal this girl, and I can return her." Brigan said this, but inwardly he felt uneasy. His teleportation ability could only be used three times a day. He had used it once to capture Liliath, teleporting himself to the women's restroom, and then again here. In other words, he had one last teleportation chance, and he was reluctant to simply escape.

"Young Master already made arrangements for your Space Shuttle ability," Trick said, taking out a fist-sized transparent sphere from his Storage Space. "You should recognize this, right?"

"Space Restriction Ball?!" Brigan exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected that his opponent would make such a preparation in advance to deal with him.

The Space Restriction Ball is a high-tech, specialized product designed to disrupt the stability of space and its connections to other dimensions. Originally invented to better study the instability of space, it was later used to counter those with spatial abilities.

"That's right. When we got out of the car just now, we used the Space Restriction Ball to completely seal off the area within a five-kilometer radius. Even if you escaped from this warehouse, you still won't be able to use your Space Shuttle ability." Trick sneered, clearly having planned everything long ago.

Brigan frowned. Being locked in space by the Space Restriction Ball did not actually prevent him from using his abilities, but rather severely interfered with his ability usage, making it impossible for him to find an accurate spatial location. If he teleported rashly, there was a high chance that he would be caught in the Space Turbulence.

"Kill him!" Trick didn't intend to waste any more words with the other party and waved his hand at the two of them.

At that moment, a Mechanical Insect landed on Liliath's Magic Restriction Lock, and under the control of the Sea Emperor, the chains were silently unlocked. Liliath felt her hands loosen and immediately knew that Gu Ding had found her. A slight smile appeared on her lips, and she sat down patiently, not in a hurry at all.

However, no one noticed what was happening to her at that moment.

Seeing that Lily had been unlocked, Gu Ding felt a little relieved and was ready to make his move at any time.

Inside the warehouse, the chase between the three was also intense. It turned out that Brigan not only possessed the ability to Space Shuttle, but his agility and speed were also quite remarkable.

He kept dodging, and the attacks from the other two were absorbed by the warehouse walls, floor, and ceiling, with none of them actually landing on him.

This warehouse was just an ordinary storage facility, and after several pursuits, it was destroyed beyond recognition.

The warehouse walls were originally made of a sturdy alloy, but under the attack of Thirteenth-Order Gene Body expert, they became as fragile as paper.

A huge gap had just been blasted open not far from Liliath, wide enough for an adult to pass through. She was secretly pleased and patiently waited for her chance to escape.

She quickly got her chance, because after dodging for a while, Brigan realized that simply dodging wasn't a solution. He locked onto Trick, and in a flash, appeared behind Trick, grabbing him by the neck. "If either of you makes another move, I'll kill him."

"Hey, you two, stop fighting." Trick suddenly regretted not taking advantage of the chaos among the three to escort Liliath away.

"I'm sorry, Trick, our mission wasn't to protect you, but to get Gu Ding to attend the young master's Coming-of-age ceremony. So, taking Liliath away was part of the mission, and killing Brigan was also part of the mission. At this point in the mission, we no longer need you..."

Seeing that the four people on the other side had reached a stalemate, Liliath suddenly exerted force with her legs and suddenly escaped through the gap in the wall on her left.

"Liliath has escaped!" Trick, who was facing Liliath's direction, saw Liliath running away and shouted immediately.

The two bodyguard-like men turned around and saw Liliath dart out of the gap. One of them quickly gave chase, while the other stayed behind to carry out the mission of taking down Brigan.

As soon as Liliath darted out, Gu Ding spotted her and was about to assist her when he saw a bodyguard in black follow behind Lily.

Gu Ding instantly unleashed the full power of his twelfth-level Limitless Body Technique, along with the amplification from his Berserk Mode and Bronze Level Armor. He even activated the Level 2 Advanced Iron Block and Martial Dao Force Field. He charged forward with frenzied speed, his powerful Steel Fist carrying a tangible Golden Gang Force that slammed into his opponent's ribs with lightning force.

With a base Combat Strength of 100,000 points, plus the 320-fold bonus from the 12th level of Limitless Body Technique, the 4-fold bonus from Berserk, the 5-fold bonus from Bronze Level weaponry, and the doubled Combat Strength from the Martial Dao Force Field, Gu Ding's attack had reached Combat Strength of 1.28 billion. A martial artist newly entering the 13th rank only has Combat Strength of 1 billion points; Gu Ding's attack had fully met the 13th rank standard.

But that wasn't enough. His opponent, though also a thirteenth-tier expert, was a pinnacle among them. In Combat Strength, that guy had already reached over 80 billion points, not far from the entry-level Combat Strength of a demigod (100 billion points). A demigod's Combat Strength is over a hundred times that of a thirteenth-tier expert, so the difference in Combat Strength among Thirteenth-Order Gene Body is vast. The lowest is only 1 billion Combat Strength, while the highest can exceed 100 billion.

Gu Ding's perception of his opponent was quite different. Even with the suppression of the Martial Dao Force Field, his power was simply unable to break through the opponent's defense. As for his defense, even with the enhancement of the Advanced Iron Block, it was only 25.6 billion points. On the other hand, even with the Martial Dao Force Field suppressing his Combat Strength by 50%, his opponent still had over 40 billion points, enough to cause damage to Gu Ding in his current state.

Gu Ding's sudden appearance startled the black-clad bodyguard. He hurriedly tried to block Gu Ding's attack, but Gu Ding's Limitless Body Technique were extremely tricky, directly dodging the block and landing on his ribs. But then he realized that Gu Ding's attack was just a tickle, unable to even penetrate his skin's defenses, and he didn't even feel any pain.

After landing a successful blow, Gu Ding immediately realized the gap between himself and his opponent. His fist felt like it had struck a piece of Indestructible Bo Alloy, not only failing to make any impact but also nearly injuring him.

Indestructible Bo Alloy is the hardest alloy currently manufactured using technology. It cannot be easily destroyed even under the attack of gods. This alloy is also known as the indestructible alloy of the gods.

Using this metal to evaluate the opponent's defense, one can imagine how strong the opponent's defense is. Gu Ding retreated immediately after his attack, blocking between Liliath and the black-clad bodyguard, but only watched the black-clad bodyguard warily, without making another move.

Lily also noticed Gu Ding's predicament. She knew Gu Ding was strong, but she also knew that Gu Ding's base Combat Strength was only 100,000 points. His highest amplification could only barely reach the strength of the thirteenth rank, which was quite a gap compared to the peak thirteenth-rank expert in front of her.

"Where are the others?" Liliath asked in a low voice.

"On their way here..." Gu Ding frowned slightly. No matter what he had to do, he had to hold out until Bigge and the others arrived, otherwise Lily would be kidnapped.

Liliath didn't press further about why Gu Ding had arrived alone. The Bronze Level weapon in her hand instantly transformed into a two-meter-long Nuclear Energy Sniper, and a resolute glint flashed in her eyes. "Gu Ding, your attacks can't break through his defenses. This time, I'll take the lead in the attack. You help me hold him off." (To be continued.)
