I'm Getting Impatient
That figure, bouncing around on the roof like a flea, could leap more than ten meters at a time.
This inhuman way of moving made Lu Bai realize that it would be difficult for him to shake off his opponent using only his legs, so he simply stood still and waited for his opponent to catch up.
He didn't have to wait long before he saw a strip of flesh with a claw-like end fly over and hook onto a utility pole by the roadside.
The meat strip quickly contracted, dragging the Changhu down to the top of the telephone pole.
To avoid losing his balance, Changhu crouched down, lowering his center of gravity.
Lu Bai naturally recognized this guy, but to his surprise, this guy actually managed to attach a Parasitic Organism to himself.
Changhu's left hand, which had been flying around like a meat strip, returned to its original position. His face was contorted with rage as he said, "Smiling Face, do you remember me?"
Lu Bai didn't rush to reply, but instead paced a few steps, making it appear as if the Changhu was aligned with the full moon in the sky.
He nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "This composition makes it look more imposing."
Changhu couldn't quite understand what Lu Bai meant, but he could clearly sense the leisurely mood emanating from Lu Bai.
This annoyed him, and he tried to regain the upper hand superficially. "Are you still bluffing?"
Lu Bai tilted his head slightly.
Changhu snorted coldly and said, "Let me tell you, a large number of police are on their way, so be thankful, I won't kill you right away. I'll let you experience what it's like to be wanted by everyone. After you've experienced that..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lu Bai suddenly throw out an exaggeratedly long Nodachi.
Changhu reacted quickly, his left hand transforming into a bone knife to deflect Long Fang away.
He grinned. "Getting angry? Don't worry, this is just the beginning. Wait until you experience it..."
Lu Bai once again swung his Long Fang, aiming straight for Changhu's face.
Incidentally, Lu Bai maintained a friendly Smiling Face throughout, as if he were playing a darts game at an amusement park.
After all, that's how the [Armory] ability works; weapons can be retrieved after being thrown out, and it doesn't matter if they bounce off.
Lu Bai ignored him, retracted his Long Fang, and flung them out again.
The Long Fang attacked again, but this time they were caught by the bone clamps that the Changhu had temporarily conjured in its left hand.
But being constantly interrupted made Changhu unable to hold back any longer.
His brow furrowed, and he snapped, "Just because I said I wouldn't kill you immediately doesn't mean I'll tolerate your continued provocations."
Frankly speaking, as long as you pay attention to Lu Bai's every move, this attack method of throwing Long Fang is unlikely to pose much of a threat.
However, being harassed like this Second Company still made Changhu furious.
"Okay, I'm getting impatient."
Lu Bai replied with absolute certainty.
Just then, a girl with a high ponytail rushed out from around the corner.
She surveyed the scene, panting, and said with slight disappointment, "Tch, someone beat me to it."
Changhu glanced sideways at the girl with the high ponytail, thinking that this suddenly appearing deathmatch fighter had arrived just in time.
It can make what he says more convincing.
"Heh, look, not only are there police, but also death row inmates. Get ready to experience it for yourself..."
Swish~
Long Fang interrupted his verbal offensive once again, and this time, because he was distracted by the girl with the high ponytail, he didn't react in time and ended up with a cut on his arm.
"You're asking for it!"
Enraged, Changhu extended several strips of meat with bone knives at the ends from his left hand.
Lu Bai quietly activated [Flash Time], took a half step back, and watched as the several strips of flesh plunged into the concrete.
To be fair, the Parasitic Organism's bone knife was quite lethal; those few blows sent up a lot of Shatter Stone.
Lu Bai retracted his Long Fang, held them in his hand, and looked at the Changhu on the telephone pole with a half-smile, "Shall we come down and practice?"
The Changhu's anger was not feigned.
There will be opportunities, but not now.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his emotions. "But before that, I'd rather watch you flee in a sorry state. I need you to experience the humiliation I suffered in the hospital first."
"I don't really understand why you have such a strong desire for revenge."
Lu Bai turned to look at the girl with the high ponytail. "Do you have a way to get this guy down?"
It's worth mentioning that the girl with the high ponytail was striking an exaggerated pose.
The girl with the high ponytail maintained her pose and casually retorted, "Why should I help you?"
"Because this will give me a reason to spare your life." Lu Bai raised the Long Fang in his hand.
Upon hearing this, Changhu couldn't help but sneer.
He then stood up from the utility pole, his left hand forming a hook shape, as if he was about to leave.
Just as he was about to cast his hook, he suddenly felt as if something was grabbing his calf.
I looked down, but there was nothing there.
The next second, the unseen hand suddenly exerted force, pulling him off balance and causing him to fall from the telephone pole.
Fortunately, he had prepared to use the hook in advance, and managed to drag himself to a nearby rooftop during his fall.
[Stand User): Possesses a Stand that only the user can see; the Stand's strength is the same as the user's.]
Seeing that her sneak attack had failed, the girl with the high ponytail was inevitably disappointed, but she calmly controlled her stand-in to return to her side.
Changhu couldn't understand what kind of strange ability that was, and without even uttering any threats, he quickly cast his hook and fled.
Seeing Changhu away, the girl with the high ponytail immediately looked at Lu Bai warily, while secretly controlling her stand-in to sneak towards Lu Bai.
She thought that without competitors, nothing else would happen to prevent her from obtaining the "Node".
Unfortunately, her avatar had only gone halfway when Lu Bai suddenly vanished from the spot, making her wonder if she was seeing things.
The blade fell, and blood splattered.
[Bite!]
[Points +2, Current Points: 52, Current Rank: 1/138]
"We still lack long-range capabilities. If only we could fly."
Lu Bai muttered to himself, briefly summarizing his weaknesses.
Of course, the girl with the high ponytail wasn't the only one chasing into the alley; it's just that the alley was so labyrinthine that the other fighters didn't have time to follow.
He retracted his Long Fang and strolled slowly across the alleyway at a leisurely pace.
Before the police arrived, he planned to take out as many fighters as possible in this complicated environment, so running too fast was definitely not an option.
A garbage dump that reeks of sour stench.
Lu Bai carried the head and threw it into the trash can.
In just half an hour, he was ambushed nearly ten times.
On average, they would be ambushed by unfamiliar deathmatchers every few minutes.
Fortunately, the fighters currently surrounding him are all lone wolves, so in a one-on-one situation, they won't waste too much of Lu Bai's time.
But he did not let his guard down.
Considering that his location had been constantly exposed to other deathmatchers, those who hadn't yet moved to surround and kill him were probably secretly forming teams.
The real trouble is probably yet to come.
