A Strange Sense of Relief in My Heart

Clang!

On the helipad of the tall building in the night, two figures clashed, their silver-gleaming blades striking against each other!

Faced with the opponent choosing this location, Fang Ran had no other option but to directly choose a strong attack.

He felt pressure for the first time. The opponent's Tang Blade was fierce and sharp. If it weren't for the power of the Sword Card correcting him into a sword expert, he probably wouldn't be able to fight him.

Moreover, the opponent's level was far higher than his, but with the Silver Severing Dragon Tooth's Speed Value doubled, Fang Ran could still barely put up a fight!

Compared to Fang Ran, Su Qun's feeling was much stronger!

This person in front of him was very strange!

Strange appearance, strange moves.

Every one of his strikes didn't look like that of a sword master, but that silver longsword gave him a great sense of threat.

And he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the opponent's sword swings were almost completely at will. What was even more bizarre was that he had seen moves from 3D action games more than once.

His dark long coat billowed, his right hand gripping the silver longsword, swinging it in a semicircle upwards.

And this person's movements were exactly the same as in the game, fierce and sharp!

Actually, what Su Qun didn't know was that before today, Fang Ran had never even touched anything related to fighting with a sword against people. His only knowledge came from the countless action games he had played. And the forced correction of the Sword Card, as described by the magic effect, was based on the user's heart.

Fang Ran's heart had no orthodox sword techniques.

So at this moment, Su Qun was facing various peak moves from major action games, almost shaking his mind!

"You are not from this scenario!"

Blocking Fang Ran's charge, which was exactly the same as Dante from Devil May Cry 3, with a single slash, if it weren't for this person's black clothes and black hair, Su Qun would have almost thought that the silver-haired Dante had crossed over into reality!

He leaped back a step and shouted loudly at him!

"Who are you?! How dare you interfere with a Night Battle special scenario from the outside!?"

Su Qun questioned him loudly, gripping the Tang Blade in his hand, because he had thought of a terrifying possibility!

No!

Impossible!

If he came from The Shadow, that place, or was at the A-rank level, then everyone, including Si Ai, would have died at his hands from the beginning.

Then did he use some other method to interfere with this Night Battle?!

But Su Qun saw that the other party had no intention of answering. The straight thrusting sword tip was withdrawn and held horizontally at his left waist, his body lowered.

Damn it! Is this Iaijutsu this time?

Su Qun was solemn. He naturally recognized moves like Iaijutsu. He hardened his heart and secretly decided!

"Qi Refining Lock, open!!!"

White steam exploded from Su Qun's body! As if a violent steam engine had been freed from its shackles!

Fang Ran, who was pressing down on his blade and gripping his sword, didn't even have time to react when Su Qun's figure suddenly appeared. The Silver Severing Dragon Tooth only managed to block in front of his face before he was directly sent flying!

Bang!

Su Qun's impact force violently shattered the ground and chased directly after Fang Ran, who was still flying in mid-air!

A horizontal slash!

Fang Ran, who had barely managed to raise his sword to block again in mid-air, was once again heavily smashed onto the ground several meters away!

"Cough, ugh!"

Blood flowed from the corner of Fang Ran's mouth. His vision suddenly began to blur. Facing Su Qun, who had activated who knows what, Fang Ran was instantly sent flying. As expected, there was still a gap in his frontal combat ability.

My chest hurts so much, my wrist hurts so much, my shoulder hurts so much...

The taste of blood is so salty, so fishy...

Am I going to die?

Fang Ran used all his strength to stand up, looking at Su Qun slowly walking towards him with a sense of oppression from a distance, breathing heavily.

Even with the abilities granted by Night Battles, in places where magic couldn't enhance him, he was still an ordinary person.

I know.

I've always known I'm just an ordinary person.

Even if I go all out, go crazy, calculate every plan, and act despicable, I still can't beat you so-called elites in the end.

"State your identity! Who exactly are you!?"

Su Qun walked step by step, a strong surge of energy solidifying and spreading from his body.

His left hand hung down, seemingly broken from the impact just now. Watching Su Qun walk step by step and hearing his questioning, Si Ai's last scene suddenly appeared in Fang Ran's mind.

That handsome and unrestrained person, despite having a large hole in his chest, still turned back and smiled at him.

That's right, I'm just an ordinary person.

Su Qun's figure was already close. Just then, the white light from the distant lighthouse suddenly swept across the helipad where the two of them were, illuminating their shadows.

But, I don't want to die at the hands of people like you who casually take away others' lives!

"Ordinary people! Can go crazy too!!!!"

Fang Ran let out a hysterical low roar. The Shadow Card appeared in his hand and was fiercely slammed onto the ground by him! The Silver Severing Dragon Tooth plunged straight down!

A magic energy vortex suddenly swirled around Fang Ran!

Streaks of black rushed out from the Shadow Card, converging behind Fang Ran into a tall, cloaked, pitch-black figure!

The darkness beneath the cloak was so deep it seemed to swallow the light!

"What!"

This bizarre sight instantly stunned Su Qun. He desperately raised his Tang Blade, wanting to strike first!

But he suddenly found that he couldn't move!

Why?

His heart sank, but his elite qualities quickly surfaced. He frantically pushed his physical limits, seemingly about to break free from the restraints!

However, at that moment, a figure appeared beside Su Qun. It was someone he would never forget in this lifetime, someone he had always looked up to!

"Step back, Su Qun, leave this to me."

Ye Sheng, wearing sunglasses, turned and said to him. Su Qun subconsciously nodded.

But after he nodded.

He suddenly felt a sense of horror and something was wrong!

How could the person he had always looked up to suddenly appear here?!

The illusion vanished, and before him was still the young man in the long black coat.

At this moment, Fang Ran had already raised Silver Severing Dragon Tooth. He didn't have any ultimate killing move; his mind was filled with only one thought!

Slash!

Otherwise, I'll be the one who dies!

Everyone is incredibly frantic before death, and this was fully embodied in Fang Ran!

The feeling of being pushed to the brink by zombies reappeared, and Silver Severing Dragon Tooth slashed down!

On the system interface, the value displayed for Magic Energy Value instantly cleared!

A massive sword light burst forth with a roar!

"Ka... Could this be..."

A strange sound came from Su Qun's throat, because he had just heard about this kind of sword light in the organization yesterday.

Not far away, Fang Ran looked at the fallen Su Qun and didn't move for a moment. Only his breathing slowly calmed down.

The system's warning floated before his eyes.

Magic Energy Value: 0

"Ha! Ha!... Ha!!! Ha!!!"

Suddenly, Fang Ran was like a taut string that snapped. He instantly lost strength and slumped to the ground. His fear finally surged out like a tide. Silver Severing Dragon Tooth also fell to the side. The Shadow and The Illusion, deprived of Magic Energy Value, also slowly disappeared.

On the helipad, only Fang Ran remained.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Ran stumbled to his feet, awkwardly picked up Silver Severing Dragon Tooth, and staggered towards the elevator. He didn't even have the courage to jump down from the building again, even though The Float would catch him.

Ding! This random specialcontend scenario has ended

Ding! Participants in this event...

Fang Ran even ignored the series of system prompts.

I did it, Big Brother Ai.

I, I avenged you.

Dad, Mom.

What should I do this time?

I...

With trembling fingers, Fang Ran pressed the descent button.

The thing that had been supporting him in doing such crazy things for the past few hours seemed to disappear all at once with Su Qun's death. He was back to being the Fang Ran he was when Si Ai had just died.

Lost and scared.

But he forced himself to calm down and walked out of the International Building. He still had one more thing to do.

Fortunately, the International Building was also in the city center, not far from the pedestrian street where he started. Otherwise, Fang Ran didn't know if his trembling legs could make it there.

The night was thick. It took him two hours.

Following the map, Fang Ran slowly found the location of the pedestrian street, like a ronin traveling cautiously in the desert.

Passing by the site where the Flame Pillar erupted, Fang Ran felt inexplicably complicated inside, but he still tried to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and walked towards the place where he had left Si Ai's body.

He was mentally prepared to face Si Ai's body.

Pushing open the door of the diamond ring shop, Fang Ran returned to this place with a heavy heart.

Slurp!!

Suddenly, a strange sound of eating noodles rang out of nowhere!

Fang Ran froze. He took a step forward and entered the shop.

He saw Si Ai sitting in front of the counter, holding a bowl of Master Kong Shrimp and Fish Flavored Noodles and slurping them up.

Then, hearing the sound from the doorway, he turned his head in confusion.

Upon seeing Fang Ran, he greeted him cheerfully!

"Yo! Little brother! You're here? Want some noodles?"

This bizarre scene appeared before Fang Ran. The black-haired young man, draped in a long black coat, was stunned.

A strange sense of relief welled up in his heart.

Then he turned back into the Fang Ran who loved to complain when he was nervous.

"Oh my god!! There's a ghost!!!!!!!!!!!!"
