"Luo Feng, you reckless idiot! No wonder you're doomed to be alone forever!
You interrupted my massage, and now you want to kill me? Just you wait!"
Maybe it was because of fate.
Or maybe it was the stubbornness of a transmigrator.
Facing Luo Feng,
the capybara Ye Xiu didn't run away like he had before.
Instead, he gritted his teeth and prepared to fight the guy!
"Roar!"
A strange, low growl rang out.
Before Zhao Ruo could react,
the gentle-looking little animal beside her
suddenly sprang into action.
It became a black shadow and charged straight at Luo Feng!
"Damn it! I knew you were faking it!"
Though caught slightly off guard,
Luo Feng was a spirit reader, after all.
In no time, several specially made throwing knives were spinning around him.
They formed a defensive perimeter.
You had to admit,
it looked pretty intimidating!
But don't forget, I've got skills too.
"Black Hole, swallow him!"
It was only a one-trick move,
but so far, no one had managed to escape the pull of this Black Hole.
Of course, Ye Xiu still kept it clear of Zhao Ruo.
He didn't want to see the pretty girl get sucked in!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Since Luo Feng's Spiritual Force could also move objects from a distance to some extent,
its power was somewhat similar in nature to the Black Hole's pull.
So as long as he kept his distance,
Luo Feng wouldn't give in easily.
Still, the throwing knives and armor on him were caught in a violent tug.
They clanged and rattled without pause!
"Luo Feng, you..."
Zhao Ruo was stunned.
She didn't know which side to help.
For a moment, she was at a loss.
But Luo Feng and the capybara weren't standing around doing nothing.
The tug-of-war soon reached its conclusion!
"Buzz!"
"Bzzzz—!"
The Black Hole's pull suddenly intensified, and its swirling vortex seemed ready to swallow even the light.
Luo Feng's expression changed.
He could clearly feel the Spiritual Force attached to his throwing knives being torn at and disrupted by a brute force. Controlling them had become incredibly difficult.
The hovering knives shook violently, emitting strained whines.
They seemed on the verge of slipping out of his control and being sucked into that bizarre Black Hole.
"What a strange pull! What kind of monster is this?"
Luo Feng was shocked, but his gaze grew sharper.
He was an experienced fighter. He immediately changed tactics.
"Focus!"
He gave a low shout. Instead of controlling all the knives separately, he concentrated his Spiritual Force at once, focusing on keeping three of them steady.
The other knives, which were of somewhat inferior quality, shot from his control and were mercilessly swallowed by the Black Hole.
[ Ding! Swallowed 3 B-grade throwing knives. Can launch them back ]
The system notification flashed, but Ye Xiu had no time to pay it any mind.
He saw that after steadying the three core knives, Luo Feng didn't just defend passively. He launched an attack!
"Go!"
Luo Feng's eyes flashed. The three knives didn't fly straight at him.
Instead, they traced three strange arcs, like living fish.
They skirted the Black Hole's strongest pull head-on and attacked Ye Xiu's vital points from the left, right, and above!
Especially those seemingly innocent, glossy black eyes!
"Now that's something!"
Ye Xiu was startled. Luo Feng really was a handful!
The Black Hole's pull was strongest in front, but weaker at its sides and rear.
Ye Xiu had to divert his attention to turn the Black Hole slightly, trying to intercept the knives that were hot on his heels.
"Whoosh! Clang!"
A knife coming from the left was caught by the gravity at the Black Hole's edge, its trajectory knocked off course.
It grazed Ye Xiu's fur, cutting off a few strands.
But the other two knives used that brief opening to speed toward him!
Ye Xiu suddenly pushed off with all four limbs.
The genes of [Bloodthirsty Tank: Strength Enhancement] and [Silver Moon Fierce Wolf: Agility Enhancement] activated at the same time.
His round body showed agility far beyond what his size suggested as he rolled to the side and back.
"Slash!"
A knife skimmed over his back, drawing a line of blood and leaving a shallow cut.
He narrowly managed to take the other one on his thick-skinned, muscular rear. It struck with a dull thud.
It was like hitting a rubber tire; the blade didn't penetrate deeply.
"Roar!"
The pain made Ye Xiu growl, his anger rising.
He stopped holding back and unleashed the Black Hole's power to the limit.
The 80-centimeter-wide Black Hole became a greedy maw, swallowing everything in front of it!
Loose stones on the ground, broken rebar—
even the ground beneath Luo Feng's feet began to shift and crack, ripped loose by force!
Luo Feng felt an enormous force tugging at his body. His feet sank as if into a swamp, making it extremely difficult to move.
His expression turned grave. He poured all his Spiritual Force into the fight, both to steady himself
and to keep the throwing knives attacking and harassing his opponent, searching for a weakness in the strange beast.
Dust and rocks flew everywhere as blades flashed.
The Black Hole's devouring force collided fiercely with the Spiritual Force, producing deep rumbles.
Zhao Ruo watched anxiously from the side. She wanted to stop them, but they were fighting too fast.
The situation was too dangerous. If she rashly intervened, she might make things worse.
"Luo Feng! Kaka! Stop fighting!"
In her desperation, she called out the name she had given the capybara.
At this tense moment, inspiration struck Ye Xiu—according to the system notification, the swallowed knives could be launched back!
"Luo Feng, take this!"
With a flash of thought, the Black Hole's rotation abruptly reversed!
The three swallowed B-grade throwing knives, wrapped in the Black Hole's remaining energy, shot back out even faster than before!
They didn't fly straight. Instead, they copied the arcing trajectories Luo Feng had used earlier, forming a character-shaped formation that blocked his escape to either side.
"What?!"
The completely unexpected attack made Luo Feng's pupils contract!
He used all his strength to control the three knives with his Spiritual Force, but he sensed a violent, foreign energy clinging to them.
It severely disrupted his control!
"Clang! Clang!"
He barely managed to turn aside and deflect two knives with his bracers, but the third came too fast and at too tricky an angle—
"Slash!"
The knife skimmed past his cheek, cutting off a few strands of hair and leaving a thin line of blood on his cheekbone.
That pretty boy's face had been scarred!
A thin line of blood slowly seeped out.
Luo Feng paused, then touched his cheek. As he looked at the red on his fingertips, disbelief filled his eyes.
He had been wounded by his own throwing knife?!
It was only a superficial wound, but to him, it was the height of humiliation!
"Roar!"
Ye Xiu gave a triumphant growl. When your opponent was down, you had to finish him off!
The Black Hole switched back to devouring mode, its powerful suction sweeping toward Luo Feng, who had momentarily lost focus in shock!
"Luo Feng, watch out!"
Zhao Ruo cried out in alarm.
Then, without thinking, she rushed forward and stood between them.
That fool—was she trying to get herself killed?
