The three players did not back down just because there was one more person in the car. Nor did they pay Xu Huo any heed, instead silently launching a third round of attacks.
Xu Huo turned the "Authority" Ring, and the three were immediately pressed to the ground. Then invisible force lifted them into the air, one of their limbs jerking mechanically as though something were pulling them along.
However, this did not last long. The three quickly broke free using their own items. One of them was extremely fast, darting to the front of the car almost the instant he escaped and slashing at Xu Huo's face.
Xu Huo did not move. He shrank his Spiritual World to a hundred-meter radius and simultaneously activated the mirror space. The person who had been standing on the hood suddenly stepped into empty air, his body seeming to turn transparent as he passed through the car and fell straight beneath it. Buried by an item, only his head remained sticking out of the ground as the car pinned him down in a miserable state.
The other two players fared no better. One who used a sneak-attack item was killed on the spot, while the other was swept by a spatial cutting line and lost an arm.
Xu Huo had gone easy on them, so the remaining two did not continue fighting once they realized things had gone wrong. They fled with remarkable quickness.
After they had left, he turned back to Wen Shenghe and the others. "Are you planning to return to the District Government now, or continue on to Linquan City?"
The District Government was no longer even bothering to hide what it was doing. Outside, Wen Shenghe had no way of ensuring her own safety or that of her colleagues.
