Magic Shadow Bite

The person hiding in the darkness didn't show themselves for a long time, occasionally letting loose a cold arrow.

It was bad enough that the arrows were meant to injure, but these arrows could also explode.

Who could stand this?

And then there was that stinking fox grinning on the wall.

Its sly smile was just like that of a cunning scoundrel.

In such an utterly bizarre scene, Wang Gan felt a flicker of fear for the first time.

He didn't know who had targeted him.

Right now, he was at a disadvantage everywhere; his situation was far too passive.

If this continued, he might really die here.

With that thought, Wang Gan turned and fled towards the outside of the courtyard.

At the same time, a voice echoed from the darkness.

"Chase!"

"Squeak."

The Dark Three-Tailed Fox nimbly leaped onto the rooftop, disappearing into the darkness within a few bounds.

And the Shadow Silhouette in the corner directly sank into the ground, fearlessly traversing the Shadow World.

Within the Shadow World, Li Ran could clearly see Wang Gan fleeing on the ground just by looking up.

With the passive [Outlook], his field of vision was farther and wider. Moreover, in the Shadow World, the buildings above were like 3D models in a game. Looking up at the ground was like clipping through models in a game, allowing him to survey the entire area.

If he sank deeper into the Shadow World, Li Ran would see something like a miniature map tile.

At this moment, Wang Gan was fleeing in panic as if he had seen a ghost.

"The world must look like this in the eyes of the gods."

"Pity, I can't directly attack in the Shadow World, or I'd have ten thousand ways to torment him."

An A-rank monster with 500 points of Mysterious Power, reduced to such a pathetic state!

Recalling a few days ago, Li Ran was the one who had been fleeing.

In this Weird World, without strength, one could only take a beating.

"Stinking fox, it's you again!"

At this moment, Wang Gan on the ground cursed angrily. On the rooftop in front of him, Scarlet Iris stood with a foxy grin, watching Wang Gan flee.

This time, Wang Gan didn't impulsively charge forward. Instead, he veered into another alley.

"Whoosh~"

But after running only a couple of steps, a fireball arrow flew towards Wang Gan.

"Boom!"

Another burst of flames erupted, and Wang Gan was sent flying.

When he got up again, his body was already festering, his face covered in dirt, utterly pathetic.

"Aaaah... Come out, if you dare, come out!"

One fox was already enough to mess with his head, and now an enemy in the shadows was shooting cold arrows.

This was driving him insane.

At this moment, a transparent silhouette slowly materialized behind Wang Gan. The silhouette blended almost perfectly with the darkness; one couldn't see it unless they focused intently.

"Shadow Assault."

A cold glint flashed, like a meteor in the night, gone in an instant.

The next second, the cold glint appeared at the base of Wang Gan's spine and, with lightning speed, plunged in. Immediately, a large area of Thunder Marks spread out.

"Aaaah!!"

Wang Gan threw his head back and screamed, his body convulsing uncontrollably.

"Backstab plus Thunder Mark, paralyze the target, then turn and slit the throat for a one-hit kill!"

The critical damage from Backstab could at most heavily injure an A-rank Mental Infector; killing it wasn't that easy. Li Ran automatically formed a set of assassination skills in his mind. This combination had never failed him; it had always been successful.

This assassination of the Giant Blade Monster Wang Gan would be no exception. Li Ran turned in front of Wang Gan at extreme speed, his Thunder Dagger flashing across Wang Gan's neck like lightning.

"Clang!"

The dagger, which should have easily slit the opponent's throat, unexpectedly met a hard, iron-like resistance.

The Thunder Dagger actually scraped sparks off Wang Gan's neck!

He looked closely and saw that beneath the cut skin on Wang Gan's neck, a cold, iron-like glint was emanating.

"Damn it, Throat Slit failed, and my stealth effect is gone!"

Li Ran cursed inwardly. After the failed Throat Slit, the passive stealth continuation effect of Shadow Assault vanished on the spot.

The paralysis effect of Thunder Mark lasted only 0.5 seconds.

In such a fleeting moment, Wang Gan quickly shook off the paralysis, glaring viciously at Li Ran, whose invisibility had now faded.

"It's you!"

He recognized the person who had ambushed him.

It was the very same guy who had ruined his mood that morning.

This fellow had pretended to be a tenant downstairs to spoil his fun, and now he actually dared to appear before his eyes.

A few days ago, he had even staked out the elevator, seeing the brat enter the floor several times, only to come up empty-handed every time.

So, this brat possessed an ability like invisibility, which was how he managed to escape every time.

And now, this brat dared to ambush him.

This was truly a sheep walking into a tiger's den—delivering himself as a snack!

"Brat, I've finally caught you!"

Recognizing Li Ran, Wang Gan let out a sinister grin. He spread his arms, and his giant blades swept horizontally toward Li Ran; the terrifying, curved scimitars lunged down like the fangs of a devil, whipping up gusts of wind.

Li Ran dodged and retreated rapidly, putting some distance between them.

"Blood Sickle Flying Blade!"

Li Ran immediately launched a counterattack, refusing to give Wang Gan a chance to close in.

A blood-red crescent arc slashed out, forcing Wang Gan to shift from offense to defense as he crossed his arm-blades over his chest.

Instantly, he felt a massive force knock him backward.

The Blood Sickle Flying Blade had triggered a knockback effect!

Is this murderer made of iron? The Blood Sickle Flying Blade, which can even slice through walls, can't even break his defense.

Li Ran unleashed a third Blood Sickle Flying Blade.

Wang Gan swung his giant arm-blades and parried it directly.

Just as he had suspected, beneath Wang Gan's skin lay a material like steel—a Steel Body—making it impossible for the Blood Sickle Flying Blade to inflict fatal damage.

On the other side, Wang Gan was feeling incredibly shocked; the immense power of the Blood Sickle Flying Blade had left his arms numb.

He couldn't help but think in horror: Since when did this brat become so strong?

A few days ago, when that brat looked at him, his eyes were filled with terror, like a rabbit seeing a tiger.

Today, he was pulling off ambushes and assassinations, his bizarre methods emerging one after another.

He had even tamed a stinking fox!

While Wang Gan was sizing up Li Ran, Li Ran was doing the same to him.

He stood his ground, fearless, looking at Wang Gan's neck with surprise.

Beyond the giant blades on his arms, an exaggeratedly large broadsword protruded from the top of his head; from a distance, it looked as if his skull had been split open by a cleaver. In reality, a broadsword had grown out of his head without affecting his facial features, which couldn't help but remind Li Ran of the art style of Chainsaw Man.

No wonder he didn't die after taking three Explosive Arrow shots, three flying blades, plus my Backstab and Throat Slit.

This was quite a surprise to Li Ran, as his current strength was more than enough to instantly kill a B-rank monster with similar Mysterious Power.

Is this the terror of an A-rank Mental Infector?

Li Ran gained a whole new understanding of A-rank monsters.

Even though his Mysterious Power value was nearly three hundred points higher than Wang Gan's, and his other attributes were enough to crush him, he still couldn't kill him in one hit.

Li Ran was glad he had come to find Wang Gan now, rather than when his Mysterious Power was only five hundred.

So what if this monster was covered in blades?

He now had enough strength to kill his opponent!

"Magic Shadow Bite!"

Li Ran let out a low shout. Instantly, a black demonic shadow covered his arms, and as the shadow took shape, two demonic wolf silhouettes formed over his arms.

Suddenly, Li Ran erupted with terrifying speed and charged toward Wang Gan.

Wang Gan's pupils constricted as he saw two Shadow Flame Wolf Soul images lunging toward him!
