Died of Fear

The Cannibal Player had been caught. Shangguan Xi brightened and started to approach, but just then, the barrier trapping the other man suddenly broke. A few hidden weapons, like jets of water, shot out ahead of the Cannibal Player, but they were intercepted half a meter from Xu Huo. What surprised them was that the jets struck the air barrier and clung to it, spreading rapidly like ice and "freezing" several cracks into its surface.

Only then did the Cannibal Player let out a strange laugh. He leaned forward, smashed through the air barrier, and lunged at Xu Huo. Whether it was an Ability or an item effect, from Xu Huo's perspective, the instant the Cannibal Player came at him, every visible gap seemed to fill up, like a gigantic blanket.

Of course, no human body could cover that much space, but the effect pinned him in place.

Xu Huo first used "Opposites Repel." The item could push apart two people of the same sex within three meters, but it failed to work. So he drew a line between them with "No Passing."

"No Passing" was an upgraded version of "Beautiful Ray." The laser's range had expanded from three square meters to fifty. Its ten-meter-long, five-meter-wide field formed a broad enough barrier in front of him. Anyone trying to cross it first had to withstand the laser's cuts. The tables, chairs, and other furnishings within its range were cleanly sliced in half. It hadn't managed to burn through the ceiling, but it was more than enough to threaten the Cannibal Player.

The other man retreated without hesitation, pressing himself against the door to the opposite room, but he wasn't giving up. He was waiting for the item to expire.

"No Passing" lasted only ten seconds. Xu Huo activated "Heartthrob Discount"
