Thanks to the fact that all dead matchers could see one another's titles, anyone gathering at night stood out conspicuously.
Lu Bai didn't need to waste time searching. He headed straight for the cluster of seven or eight titles.
Ruan Boyang and the others could see the four glowing green characters of "Innocent Smile" rapidly approaching them, too.
They knew Lu Bai hadn't died in the attack from [Wasp Thunder Duke Whip], but an explosion that terrifying should have at least left him seriously injured, shouldn't it?
Yet judging by how quickly "Innocent Smile" was moving, his injuries didn't seem to have affected him at all.
Realizing this, the smiles on Ruan Boyang and the others' faces stiffened. Though they'd been chatting and laughing just moments before, they couldn't help but panic as the situation slipped out of their control.
By the time Jiang Kang came to his senses and suggested they retreat to assess the situation, Lu Bai had already sped into view.
There was no firelight or explosion, no awe-inspiring presence.
With the effect of [Flash Time], Lu Bai seemed to appear out of nowhere right in front of them. The entire approach had been completely silent.
Jiang Kang stiffly bent forward a little. "'Smiling Face' boss, what brings you here?"
"What are you doing? You already did it. What good does sucking up to him do now?"
The twin-tailed girl riding on the back of the crew-cut man was clearly unhappy with Jiang Kang's attitude.
After resting for a while, she was speaking quite fluently again.
Of course, she was still nowhere near ready to use [Wasp Thunder Duke Whip] again.
Ruan Boyang remained composed. Smiling, he said with a hint of smugness, "This is our first time meeting, right? You're even more interesting than I expected."
