Things Men Cannot Say

"Snap!"

This sound was not Kuroishi Yuto snapping his fingers, but a drone that had stealthily arrived behind him, dropping a small sphere.

Kuroishi Yuto reached back and caught the sphere aimed at his head, and a massive amount of smoke erupted from within, enveloping him completely.

The moment the smoke was released, Fang Cheng stomped hard on the ground, sending gravel and dirt flying.

He took a few quick steps to build momentum, his entire body launching like an arrow from a bow into the smoke, throwing a fierce punch directly at Kuroishi Yuto.

Kuroishi Yuto, coughing violently from the irritation of the smoke, was struck squarely in the face by Fang Cheng's fist.

Bang!

Fang Cheng did not hold back; half of Kuroishi Yuto's face was smashed to a pulp, and he was sent flying several meters away before crashing down, leaving a long trail on the ground.

Holding his breath to exit the smoke-filled area, Fang Cheng walked toward Kuroishi Yuto with his heart full of rage.

Fang Cheng was not a man who liked to meddle in other people's business; at times, he even felt his own empathy was lower than that of an average person.

But at the very least, he was still human, and he had a bottom line that could not be crossed.

Kuroishi Yuto's wanton slaughter of innocent people right in front of him had already violated that bottom line.

He was going to beat this animal to death.

Another drone arrived above Ugou Mirai and the others, and Kanzaki Rin's voice rang out from it.

"Everyone, do not linger! Leave immediately!"

The survivors stared with wide eyes at Kuroishi Yuto, who lay motionless on the ground.

Although they were terrified by the fate of their companions, the sight of Kuroishi Yuto falling ignited their will to survive, and they struggled to their feet and fled toward the exit.

Ugou Mirai ran along with them, but she couldn't help but look back halfway, her eyes reflecting Fang Cheng's retreating figure, etching the scene firmly into her heart.

As Fang Cheng approached, Kuroishi Yuto, lying on the ground, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

He pushed himself up with both hands and leaped from the ground, his smashed face already fully restored. "Did you think I was hurt? I was lying to you, hahaha!"

"Laughing? I'll show you!"

Fang Cheng's legs coiled and sprang, his figure swaying left and right before suddenly vanishing from Kuroishi Yuto's field of vision.

Kuroishi Yuto instinctively turned his head, only to be met with a Rising Dragon Strike to the chin, sending him flying into the air, spinning four and a half times in a 360-degree rotation.

The move Takeda Masumi had used against Fang Cheng three days ago was now being put to practical use by Fang Cheng against someone else.

Watching the scene from afar through the drone, Kanzaki Rin breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that sending Fang Cheng for special training had been the right choice; if it were the Fang Cheng from three days ago, he definitely wouldn't have been this capable.

Of course, Kanzaki Rin wasn't just hiding and watching the show; once the innocent women had escaped, she began her preparations.

A vampire that had devoured its own kind was too powerful; by international standards, its threat level was intermediate, posing a genuine danger to the lives of the public.

Fang Cheng could not handle this alone.

As Kanzaki Rin prepared, the situation on the field began to shift.

After landing, Kuroishi Yuto took the opportunity to scramble across the ground, quickly putting distance between himself and Fang Cheng.

He stood up, his shattered chin rapidly knitting back together.

"Hiss... that hurts!"

Kuroishi Yuto rubbed his chin, his mouth twitching.

Vampires attacking their own kind caused real damage, and although the injury Fang Cheng inflicted was smaller than expected, the pain was very real.

He had assumed that since he had devoured his own kind, dealing with a rookie like Fang Cheng would be a breeze, but he hadn't expected Fang Cheng's combat power to be so high—those two punches had nearly dazed him.

Watching Fang Cheng approach rapidly, Kuroishi Yuto took a deep breath and sneered, "You're strong, but you're too slow. Kid, I'm going to show you what real speed is!"

Fang Cheng chuckled in response, "This is the first time I've heard a man brag about being fast. Are you impotent or just suffering from premature ejaculation?"

Kuroishi Yuto understood the implication, and his expression darkened instantly.

"You'll regret provoking me, kid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kuroishi Yuto flared his trench coat, looking like a bat spreading its wings.

He suddenly transformed into a black shadow, shooting toward Fang Cheng with incredible speed.

Fang Cheng saw it clearly: Kuroishi Yuto was repeating his previous tactic, using a leaping dash to execute a rapid assault.

The speed was indeed fast, and in an instant, he was right in front of Fang Cheng.

Fang Cheng anticipated the attack, shifted his body to the left, and threw a fierce hook toward his abdomen.

But the punch missed.

Kuroishi Yuto, truly like a bat, nimbly dodged the strike.

"Hahaha!"

Accompanied by a smug laugh, Kuroishi Yuto darted rapidly around Fang Cheng, the black afterimages he left behind nearly encircling him.

"This is speed! Speed is power!"

This speed was far greater than before; Fang Cheng's eyes couldn't even track him, and his attempts to punch based on instinct only hit empty air.

Kuroishi Yuto, meanwhile, kept flicking his fingers while in motion, using his razor-sharp nails to carve bloody wounds into Fang Cheng's body.

Seeing that he couldn't land a hit, Fang Cheng had no intention of standing still to be beaten, choosing instead to join the fray.

He began to move just as quickly as Kuroishi Yuto.

Two figures crisscrossed and flickered across the open ground in front of the warehouse, their speed so dizzying it was hard to follow.

"Useless, useless! Every move you make is within my grasp."

Kuroishi Yuto's frantic laughter never ceased as he firmly suppressed Fang Cheng with even greater speed.

Fang Cheng's enhanced physical abilities were enough to suppress Takeda Masumi, but they couldn't keep up with a vampire who had devoured his own kind.

He possessed immense combat strength, but it was useless here; he simply couldn't touch Kuroishi Yuto.

In just a short while, Fang Cheng had turned into a bloody mess, his body covered in dense, overlapping wounds, some deep enough to reveal bone.

The nearby drones were rapidly approaching, and seeing Fang Cheng beaten into such a miserable state, Kanzaki Rin finally couldn't help but want to intervene.

"Don't come over!"

Fang Cheng suddenly let out a low shout, stopping her in her tracks.

These drones would have a major use later; they couldn't be wasted here.

"Don't be stubborn..."

"Enough! Listen to me now!"

Kanzaki Rin bit her lower lip and silently steered the drones away.

Kuroishi Yuto also heard Fang Cheng's voice and laughed loudly, "You don't want your companion's help? Such courage is worth encouraging, but this stubbornness will cost you your life."

As he spoke, Kuroishi Yuto carved a few more bone-deep wounds into Fang Cheng.

Fang Cheng suddenly stopped in his tracks and threw a punch at the Kuroishi Yuto in front of him, only to hit thin air—it was just an afterimage.

Kuroishi Yuto had already moved behind Fang Cheng, reaching out to claw at his heart.

"It's over. I'll be taking your heart!"

At the very moment of contact, Fang Cheng abruptly spun around, raising his hand to catch the hand Kuroishi Yuto had thrust forward.

The sharp nails pierced through Fang Cheng's palm, but they were firmly gripped by Fang Cheng's five fingers, locking their hands tightly together.

Kuroishi Yuto tried to pull back, but couldn't budge.

Fang Cheng raised his blood-covered face, stared at him, and grinned, "You're so noisy, you bastard. Yapping on and on—have you had enough yet?"

Kuroishi Yuto's expression twitched, and he thrust his other hand violently toward Fang Cheng's chest.

Fang Cheng caught it and yanked him forward with all his might.

Then, he slammed his forehead into his face with a heavy headbutt.

BANG!
