The Only Two Left (Bonus Chapter for Tips)
Lu Gang was the first to strike. He grabbed for Xie Man's throat, but when she dodged, he followed her toward the sofa. The sofa toppled over at the gloomy man's feet. He planted a foot on it to propel himself forward, lunged in front of Ni Tian, and punched her toward Xu Huo. Xu Huo drove an elbow into Ni Tian as she took the opportunity to ambush him, then ducked beneath Li Weiran's scissors as he turned and kicked Gao Jun flying!
Crash! Gao Jun smashed through the room and tumbled into the gallery. Xu Huo darted after him and brought his foot down on the man before he could get up.
Just then, several colored balls burst nearby, and a few rope nets shot toward him. Xu Huo swung his sword, severed the ropes, and kicked Gao Jun into the darkness ahead.
The painted woman, who had been lying in wait nearby, swooped down, wrapped Gao Jun up, and dragged him toward the empty Picture Frame. Xu Huo hurried over and shoved him into it, but just as with Ni Tian, the frame didn't swallow him.
Neither players who had cleared the Dungeon nor those who hadn't could be used. It seemed the method of creating a collectible for the Third Task was different from the first two.
While Xu Huo was thinking this over, Li Weiran appeared behind him. "Xu San, you're Passerby A, aren't you?"
Xu Huo spun around with his sword. A beam of Sword Qi spread out, then narrowed to the width of a person. Li Weiran's head, scissors still in hand, tilted to one side, and her upper body slid diagonally to the floor.
By the time he turned back, Gao Jun had disappeared.
