Chen Wang clutched the iron box as he darted through the abandoned buildings. As he passed a patch of shadow,
he suddenly frowned and flashed sharply to the side. With a movement of his feet, he had retreated seven or eight meters.
In an instant, his body turned to mist. Once he solidified again, Chen Wang frowned and looked coldly at the woman rising from the shadows.
The alluring woman, dressed in scanty, provocative clothes, smiled sweetly. "Your reactions are quick."
Chen Wang did not ask who she was. He simply raised his hand and fired. Boom!
Sparks flew as a cold bullet burst from the muzzle, blasting straight through the wall where the woman had stood!
The woman moved with astonishing speed, lashing out with a vicious whip kick toward Chen Wang's neck like a venomous snake—or a great white python pouncing in for the kill.
Chen Wang held the box in one arm and the gun in the other. He lifted his leg and kicked out. Bang! The alluring woman was struck in the lower abdomen and sent crashing heavily into the wall.
Yet when her whip kick struck Chen Wang's neck, his body instantly turned to mist again. Tier 2 Soldier Evil Spirit—a triggered Genetic Ability that granted temporary immunity to physical damage.
The woman's physical constitution was exceptional. Rubbing her lower abdomen, she bent forward, tracing a deep ravine with her cleavage. She slightly raised her head, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and smiled faintly at Chen Wang. "You're pretty hard, little brother."
As soon as the words fell, her figure vanished into the shadows. This was not an enclosed space, and Chen Wang had no idea whether there were people from Qiongqi Mining nearby—or the woman's accomplices.
Chen Wang did not immediately use any spells.
These people have really set their sights on me.
Chen Wang sneered.
His senses were extraordinarily keen.
Mind Adepts had a special amplification effect on Divine Sense and could wield telekinesis. Though it was only Tier 1, it belonged to the special domain of the soul.
Chen Wang keenly sensed a sharp killing intent striking from the shadow behind him. Boom! Flames scattered as the curvaceous, alluring woman raised her hand and fired! Chen Wang's body turned to mist once more in an instant.
Evil Spirit's ability could negate physical damage. No matter how powerful a firearm was, it still fell within that category.
Chen Wang spun and lashed out with a vicious whip kick. Yet that powerful, heavy sweeping kick, like a battle-axe, struck nothing but air.
The woman had merged into Chen Wang's shadow again!
In an instant, Chen Wang understood her fighting style: an opponent who could hide within shadows and attack.
The backpack behind him contained the factory specimens.
If the woman kicked them apart, it would be a case of losing more than he gained. In an instant, he made his decision. This was not the time to expose his cultivation methods.
He set the box down, then swiftly rushed through the blasted-open wall and into the building. Chen Wang wanted to determine the range of the woman's ability—whether she could hide only in shadows, or in any dark place.
His vision was obstructed inside the building, but Chen Wang could use the Earth Spirit Ring, so he was extremely confident in his defenses.
He also needed to determine whether the woman had come to kill him, or for the box in his hands.
If it was the former, it meant some faction had already set its sights on him, or that this woman was an accomplice of the young man he had encountered. Knowing that the young man had been killed by him, she had come for revenge. If it was the latter, revenge was still possible, but she had most likely come seeking the specimens.
After charging into the building, Chen Wang heightened his vigilance. The Earth Spirit Ring could be triggered in an instant. Then he saw the curvaceous, alluring woman appear before the box and yank away the camouflage uniform covering it.
She directly picked up the box and left.
Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "So she really came for the specimens."
The other party was clearly some kind of special Tier 3 Soldier and had immense confidence in her skills. She decisively gave up on him, evidently valuing the box more at the moment.
The hot-bodied woman grabbed the box and ran, moving at incredible speed. Then, suddenly, gunfire rang out in the distance.
Bang! The hot-bodied woman reacted instantly, violently dodging to the side. She was a Tier 3 elite soldier, a Shadow Demon—a troop type specialized in ambushes and assassinations. Exposed out in the open, she was at a disadvantage.
Moreover, unlike Qing, she did not possess the power of lightning. Physical attacks happened to be precisely what Chen Wang countered.
She pushed her speed to the limit and barely evaded that treacherous shot. Turning around, she saw that a deep crater had already been blasted into the ground.
Following the gunshot, the woman from the Church's Adjudication Team looked up at a distant building. "The people of Qiongqi Mining are truly underhanded."
An ordinary Tier 3 Soldier might have been struck by that shot.
The hot-bodied woman reacted swiftly, quickly found cover, and vanished from sight.
On the rooftop, a man lying prone against the wall frowned. Before him rested an enormous Sniper Rifle—the Barrett. "Not an ordinary Tier 3 Soldier?"
The other party had nearly relied on her own reaction speed and sensitivity to killing intent to evade his shot. He immediately stood up, slung the Barrett over his back, and headed down. "Damn it!"
"Why did such a powerful soldier show up here?"
When the woman had fought Chen Wang earlier, he had had no intention of intervening. The thoughts behind that were hard to speak aloud—filthy to the core. Later, he had wanted to fire a sneak shot while the woman let down her guard, but he had not expected that although she was not formally dressed, she was a top-tier, highly trained Gene Warrior.
Chen Wang noticed this scene and unconsciously narrowed his eyes. However, his attention remained focused more on the alluring woman. Though she did not possess the lightning power of that young man from before, she was still extremely troublesome.
Moreover, that sharp combat awareness and reaction speed were not brought about by a Genetic Ability. They had been forged through years of training and life-or-death combat.
Yet the corner of Chen Wang's mouth curled slightly as he directly formed a hand seal.
Inside that box was not only a case of High-Explosive Hand Grenades, but also a yellow Talisman Paper. The talisman was extremely ordinary and could only cast a Fireball Technique, and not a particularly powerful one at that.
But under certain special circumstances, it could also produce an excellent effect.
After Chen Wang formed the hand seal, the Talisman Paper inside the box was directly activated.
Boom! Before the alluring woman could make any reaction at all, her body was blown to pieces!
She had never expected any normal person to pack an entire box of High-Explosive Hand Grenades inside a case,
and even ignite them with a talisman!
In such a short time, two members of the Adjudication Team had fallen one after another.
The alluring woman was completely dead!
Hearing the thunderous explosion, the Qiongqi Mining soldier carrying the Barrett on his shoulder hurried to the window and looked outside. Yet he found nothing within his line of sight. "What happened?"
That earthshaking explosion from moments ago made the man carrying the Barrett furrow his brow deeply.
