On a back street of a tall building, with a flash of light, a figure floated up from the ground and ascended into the air, reaching the rooftop of the building.
The black long coat of The Illusion was draped over his shoulders, blending his figure into the night. Shadows covered his face, concealing his features.
Fang Ran stood on the rooftop of the building, looking at the wide view below and the tiny building lights.
In truth, his hands were still trembling slightly under the long coat. Si Ai's dying appearance and his last words had driven him to madly cast aside his restraints and kill those five people consecutively, but it couldn't make him ignore the initial hesitation.
He used The Float to fly to the highest point and saw the magic light of the mage escaping.
He used the Sword Card in conjunction with Silver Severing Dragon Tooth to double his attack value.
He used The Shadow to fix the shadows of those people, making them unable to move.
He used The Illusion to conceal his appearance and conjure the most unsettling scenes in their hearts.
He extracted and manipulated his own shadow, draped it in an illusory disguise, truly achieving a doppelganger illusion.
He extracted and manipulated his own and the opponent's shadows, achieving a three-way encirclement in an instant.
He used illusion to confuse the opponent and used his shadow to pierce his heart.
All sorts of incredible methods were used by Fang Ran without hesitation: confusion, provocation, alienation, sneak attacks.
With each person killed, the search radius of the pursuers narrowed. By now, on the system interface map, the locations of the remaining two people were clearly displayed.
And those two were the ones who had truly severely injured Si Ai.
"Ha!"
The night wind at high altitude was particularly noisy, lifting the hem of Fang Ran's black long coat. He truly looked like a villain boss from a movie now, not to mention he had five lives on his hands.
But Fang Ran had also struggled and questioned himself.
Was it worth going this far, acting so crazy for someone he had only recently met?
There was always a fear inside, wanting to stop, wanting him to go back to how he was. But whenever he recalled the scene of that ruffian youth's fist threatening his life being grabbed by the heavily injured Si Ai, followed by the explosion of the pillar of flame, Fang Ran couldn't suppress the anger in his heart!
Why could they take lives so easily?
Perhaps some might find it a bit one-sided, a bit crazy, but...
So what?!
All I saw was those people shamelessly ganging up, killing someone stronger than them with the panic in their hearts!
Since you can take other people's lives so easily...
Then why can't I take yours?!
Fang Ran stood on the edge of the tall building, looking at the nearly hundred-meter drop below. He stepped back several meters and took a running stance.
Then he ran out with all his might!
The distance of several meters passed in the blink of an eye. Fang Ran stepped on the edge of the rooftop and leaped!
His black long coat flapped loudly in the night wind as his figure fell from among the countless lights.
Then The Float activated, as if he had a paraglider. Controlling The Float with the minimum Magic Energy, Fang Ran drifted rapidly towards the distance.
The Float only has the ability to float upwards, at most it can slightly change direction. So Fang Ran could only use the momentum of his forward rush to continuously float up to the rooftops and glide through the night.
At this moment, Fang Ran didn't know the price of killing all the participants.
Late night, 3:45.
In an ordinary residential area far from the city center, in the home of a very ordinary family on the fifth floor of the third row among hundreds of ordinary residents.
The man in the suit sat in the small living room with a gloomy expression.
He had deliberately found such an ordinary, hard-to-find location.
But he was still in a very bad mood at this moment. The other participants in this scenario probably didn't know that the man in the suit, who looked like a successful person on the outside, was actually someone from Midnight!
Of course, his rank wasn't high within Midnight, the largest Night Battles organization in Asia, but within China, he still had considerable influence.
And it was he who proposed this alliance. The reason, naturally, was that he discovered the water-elementalist mage who could counter Si Ai's strength, so he casually promised to let him join after the matter was concluded.
However, he hadn't expected things to spiral out of control to this extent!
The man in the suit looked at the system's prompt interface at this moment.
Current Participants: 3/12
"Hmph! Don't lump me in with those other guys! I don't know who you are! But I've prepared this big gift for you!"
The man in the suit said with a ferocious expression. He refused to believe that under his foolproof attack, that guy could still have a substitute to die for him!
Boom!
A powerful strike instantly pierced through this two-bedroom, one-living room residential building from both sides.
Then, a mass of black instantly enveloped a figure within the light of the fiery explosion.
"You'd better... Ugh!!!"
Fang Ran didn't give him a chance to speak. He also didn't act like a protagonist full of righteousness, listening to the villain's last words, then refuting them until they were speechless, and judging them with his own justice.
"A bit weaker than expected, is it because the injuries are too severe?"
From beginning to end, this man in the suit, who had been cunningly patient during the siege of Si Ai and launched a sneak attack at the very end, only used one powerful strike at the beginning. The moment he saw the dark-haired young man appear behind him, he instantly unleashed this fatal blow!
Unfortunately, that was just his own shadow.
The cunning one encountered a more insidious scheme and more unbelievable abilities, instantly becoming powerless.
"One left..."
Fang Ran trembled as he calmly withdrew The Illusion and The Shadow, gently closing the anti-theft door of the residents' home.

There is a saying that the darkest hour is always before dawn.
And this saying also applies to this night of Night Battles.
Late night, near midnight, 4:59.
Su Qun stood on the helipad on the roof of the tallest international building in the city center. The night wind was strong, constantly blowing his hooded long coat. A black mask covered his face, and the Tang Blade in his hand was exposed to the air.
He was waiting.
From the moment he realized people were being eliminated one after another, Su Qun reacted.
He didn't know how the other party was able to accurately find everyone, but he knew he couldn't do it himself.
So he could only choose his own battlefield, picking a place like the rooftop helipad.
To be able to eliminate the other six people consecutively, no matter who it was, that person must be very strong. This strength must be reflected in many aspects, which is why Su Qun chose such a location for the battlefield.
The view was open, the space was limited, and there were no buildings or strange things around that could threaten him.
For him, whose ability was Ancient Martial Arts and Battle Qi for direct combat, it couldn't be more ideal.
As an official Chinese Night Battle participant, after becoming a participant, Su Qun underwent a series of elite training sessions and possessed military qualifications. He was confident that even if the opponent was at the same rank as him, they wouldn't be his match.
As for the possibility of the opponent being B-rank?
Impossible. If that person was a hidden B-rank, they would have revealed their strength and made a move during the chaotic battle!
He just waited there, standing on one side of the helipad, his Tang Blade unsheathed, always maintaining his state.
Then, after an unknown amount of time, he saw it.
A black-haired young man wearing a long black coat flew up from outside the international building and slowly landed in front of him.
Su Qun's gaze shifted. Unexpectedly, it wasn't the man in the suit, or the woman with 'Against the Current'.
"Who are you?! I don't remember anyone like you in this scenario!?"
The unexpected situation made Su Qun slightly unsettled. He said coldly to the figure opposite him.
The young man in the long black coat didn't answer him. A silver-white long sword appeared in his hand.
"Speed, activate."
The Speed Value began to jump, only stopping after reaching double its original value!
The Magic Energy Value was dropping by two points per second. The Sword Card had already been activated by Fang Ran. With his Speed Value doubled, he slowly raised Silver Severing Dragon Tooth.
Magic whose power depends on the heart.
I've always remembered that.
Bang!
He charged out from his spot! The long black illusionary coat billowed high!
"So fast!"
Su Qun's pupils dilated. The next second, the black figure had already rushed in front of him!
