"Damn it!! What the hell is this?!"
Su Ma Li slammed headfirst into the spatial barrier and immediately felt his head buzzing.
Just now, when he had tried to escape, he had crashed straight into the already-sealed spatial barrier, nearly killing himself on impact.
Feeling around the air in front of him, he discovered an invisible wall blocking his path.
Glancing at Angel Yan, A-Zhui, and Ye Chen chasing him from behind, Su Ma Li controlled the Dark Sacred Silver throwing knife and shot it at the invisible wall in front of him.
Obviously, he wanted to break through it.
Behind him.
Watching Su Ma Li's actions, Angel Yan turned to the unhurried Ye Chen beside her and asked, "You did this?! What kind of black technology is this?!"
"The Space Lockdown Device. Just a little toy. It's yours, so don't mention it." As he spoke, Ye Chen tossed the device in his hand to Angel Yan, not caring in the slightest.
This thing was disposable. Now that it had been used, the device in his hand was nothing more than a nice-looking shell.
As for why he had not exchanged for a permanent one through the system—well, disposable items offered better value for money. It definitely wasn't because he was too poor.
Catching the Space Lockdown Device Ye Chen tossed over, Angel Yan looked at him suspiciously. He had handed it to her far too easily. Could this thing be fake?
With that thought, Angel Yan examined the item in her hand. It looked exquisite, with an attractive exterior, which was entirely in line with the system's usual style.
Whatever else could be said about the system's products, their appearance was unquestionably top-tier.
Clearly, the system's creator had some sort of obsession with aesthetics.
Angel Yan fiddled with the device. After failing to discern anything special about it, and worried that she might damage it, she put it away. Once they returned, she planned to have Heavenly Foundation King see whether she could research anything from it.
"By the way, you two stay out of this later. I want to see whether I can beat him."
Su Ma Li was a second-generation super soldier from the era of ancient relics. He was perfect for testing the strength of the first-generation Human King Body.
Besides, Ye Chen had not fought anyone for over two hundred years, and his hands were itching for a battle.
"Kid, are you sure you can handle it? Don't try to act tough, or A-Zhui will end up a widow."
Angel Yan looked at him speechlessly from the side.
"If you don't know how to talk, then talk less. I don't do anything without confidence.
"Besides, even if I can't beat him, he won't be able to kill me instantly. And I have a weapon that counters his throwing knife. Once he loses that throwing knife, he'll be nothing but a pushover."
On the other side.
Su Ma Li had already given up on breaking through the invisible barrier in front of him. He had just fired the Dark Sacred Silver throwing knife at it several thousand times, yet had failed to cause even the slightest disturbance.
Turning around, Su Ma Li watched Ye Chen and the other two warily.
"What's wrong? Not going to try anymore? Maybe you'll succeed if you try a few more times."
Looking at Su Ma Li before him, Ye Chen teased him with a smile.
At the same time, he gripped a small device in his hand. It was a secret weapon meant to seize the Dark Sacred Silver throwing knife from Su Ma Li.
Su Ma Li relied far too heavily on that weapon. Ninety percent of his strength lay in it. Once he lost the Dark Sacred Silver throwing knife, he would be like a snake without fangs.
Looking at Ye Chen's mocking expression, Su Ma Li stared at him coldly with his long, narrow eyes. "Who are you?"
"The man who's going to kill you!!"
The instant he finished speaking, Ye Chen shot forward.
Seeing this, Su Ma Li instinctively fired the throwing knife. However, once it came within ten meters of Ye Chen, it instantly lost control and fell downward.
Ye Chen reached out and caught the falling Dark Sacred Silver throwing knife, instantly storing it in his personal space. Without slowing down, he continued forward, and a large spear appeared in his hand.
As Ye Chen swung it, the air exploded with a thunderous roar. The large spear swept toward Su Ma Li, who had frozen for an instant after suddenly losing contact with the Dark Sacred Silver throwing knife.
From Ye Chen's charge, to Su Ma Li suddenly losing contact with the Dark Sacred Silver throwing knife, to Ye Chen seizing it, and finally reaching Su Ma Li and swinging his spear—all of it took only a brief instant.
Feeling the violent gale created by the incoming spear, Su Ma Li proved worthy of being a veteran warrior. Though he had indulged in pleasure for tens of thousands of years, he still retained some battle instincts.
After dodging Ye Chen's swing, he instinctively tried to control the Dark Sacred Silver throwing knife, only to remember that the man before him had somehow snatched away his weapon.
This drove him nearly mad with rage.
"Bastard, where did you take my throwing knife?"
After dodging another of Ye Chen's attacks, Su Ma Li looked at his clothes, which had been slashed to pieces, and shouted angrily.
"You still have time to worry about that throwing knife? Heh. You'd better think about how to stay alive first."
As he spoke, the large spear in Ye Chen's hand moved like a great dragon, twisting and surging without pause.
The basic thirteen forms of spearplay—thrusting, stabbing, sweeping, deflecting, twisting, lifting, chopping, and so on—flowed from his hands as smoothly as running water.
Over the past two hundred years, he had practiced all eighteen kinds of weapons. He had only trained with them to amuse himself when he had nothing better to do.
Although his martial talent was pitifully poor, he had an extremely long lifespan.
For more than two hundred years, he had not studied complicated techniques. He had simply practiced the basic moves over and over again.
And despite practicing only sporadically, after several centuries, he had somehow polished those basic techniques to a level of supernatural mastery.
Of course, aside from a few basic moves, he did not know a single technique that was even slightly more complicated. In other words, he had spent over two hundred years as a martial arts apprentice.
"Boom!!"
The spear slammed heavily into Su Ma Li's face, sending his body crashing into the spatial barrier.
Then Ye Chen tapped the empty air beneath his feet, and his figure instantly appeared in front of Su Ma Li. He brought the spear down with full force.
Accompanied by a tremendous explosion of air, violent waves of air spread in every direction, blasting a huge wind tunnel through the clouds overhead.
Watching Su Ma Li plummet rapidly, Ye Chen rolled his neck and said, "This guy is truly useless without the Dark Sacred Silver throwing knife."
At that moment, A-Zhui flew over. The two of them looked at him in astonishment.
Seeing this, Ye Chen put an arm around A-Zhui's waist. Ignoring the fact that Angel Yan was right there like a giant third wheel, he kissed A-Zhui directly and said with a laugh, "What? It's only been a few minutes, and you don't recognize me anymore?"
"You... Don't be so shameless. Yan is still here."
Ye Chen's sudden attack instantly flushed A-Zhui's cheeks red. She lightly slapped his shoulder with her small hand in annoyance.
Across from them, Angel Yan felt rather stuffed after being hit by the sudden wave of affection from the two.
"I'm saying, you two have had enough. I'm still standing right here! Don't act like I don't exist just because you're husband and wife. If you want to be affectionate, go home and do it..."
Hearing this, A-Zhui quickly pushed away Ye Chen's somewhat improper hand. "All right, stop fooling around. Let's hurry and see how that scum angel is doing."
Ye Chen nodded and stopped teasing A-Zhui.
A-Zhui was perfect in every way, except that she blushed far too easily. She simply could not take a joke.
The three of them then flew downward. They saw that Su Ma Li was covered in blood, yet was still staggering along, trying to escape.
Seeing this, Ye Chen swung the large spear in his hand. It instantly tore through the air and flew toward Su Ma Li.
In the end, it pierced straight through his body with ease and slammed into the spatial barrier, pinning him there.
