Even the fierce claws seemed to slow down in his eyes.
The masked man dodged to the side, his sharp claws barely grazing his cheek before he managed to avoid them.
With a backhand slash, a bloody gash appeared on the six-legged monster's back.
"Roar--!"
The six-legged monster roared, quickly turned around, and pounced on the masked man again. Since the two claws on its back were only used for attacking, its attack speed was extremely fast.
Although the masked man didn't seem to move as fast as the six-legged monster, he was able to dodge accurately every time.
Moreover, they can find the right opportunity to strike the six-legged monster a few times.
Gradually, the hexagonal monster developed more and more wounds, and the masked man seemed to be getting tired.
His movements began to slow down, and his breathing became rapid.
"It seems this human's cultivation level is about the same as that guy's. I wonder who will win between them."
It must be this human...
Should I go help this guy? But what if I die? Even though my cultivation level is higher than his, I'm still scared.
Xiao Huan hid behind a billboard, cautiously watching their fight, while also struggling with whether or not she should help.
"If I don't help, I'll have to find another Variant. If I help this human, he definitely can't beat me, but what if he has some trump card or an even more powerful rescuer comes? Wouldn't I be doomed?"
Just as it was struggling with this decision, the battle below had already come to a conclusion.
The masked man seized the opportunity to dodge the six-legged monster's attack and slashed down at its neck.
Suddenly, a spray of blood mist erupted, and the six-legged monster collapsed to the ground in agony, struggling for a moment before becoming still.
"Well, now there's only one option left. Sigh, you're unlucky to have run into a human, buddy."
Xiao Huan didn't rush to run away, but waited quietly until the human left before she left herself.
This is survival experience I've accumulated over thirty years of living.
The masked man wiped the sweat from his forehead and kicked the six-legged monster twice.
Seeing that he had indeed lost his Life, I finally felt relieved.
Just then, a middle-aged man with a rugged American-style beard walked over with a smile.
"Not bad, you seem like a vice-captain. You managed to kill a Variant of the same level as yourself without my help."
This middle-aged man was different from the masked man and the Night Star Hela had seen before, who wore strange clothes; he was just wearing a very ordinary sports vest.
The masked man nodded weakly, sat down on the ground leaning against a telephone pole, and was clearly exhausted.
The middle-aged man gently kicked his foot. "Can you still walk? Or should I carry you back for you?"
The masked man shook his head.
"It's alright, I just need a short rest, Captain, you go back to rescuing people."
Seeing that the man with the mask wasn't in such a bad situation, the middle-aged man felt relieved.
"Alright, I'll be going now."
But just as he took a step, the masked man sitting on the ground suddenly called out to him again.
"Captain, do you think we'll die...?"
The captain's body trembled, and he froze in place, but after a moment he recovered, turned around and smiled at the masked man.
"What are you saying? How could we possibly die?"
The masked man lowered his head, peering through the crack in the ground at the clouds below.
"So tell me, how can we survive? Jump down? Or wait for rescue?"
So high in the air, with so many people, do you think those incompetent government officials can save us?!
As he spoke, the masked man became agitated, and his last sentence was almost shouted.
"Heh heh, you foolish humans, you won't survive, but I definitely will. I have a boss..."
The Xiao Huan, hiding in the shadows and witnessing everything, muttered to himself with a wicked sense of amusement.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's smile slowly faded. He walked up to the masked man and patted him on the shoulder.
" Laide, if you were an ordinary person, there would be no problem with thinking like this."
But you are Night Star, a star that guides the world when darkness falls.
If even we give up hope, what will happen to everyone else in this city?
The middle-aged man stared into Laide's eyes, his gaze filled with unwavering determination.
Laide slowly lowered his head and nodded twice. "Understood, Captain Kelan..."
Without saying anything more, Kelan flashed off to rescue the people.
After a while, Laide had rested enough, so he stood up and went with the captain to rescue others.
"Phew, they're all gone now."
Xiao Huan exhaled, spread its wings, and continued its search for the Variant throughout the city.
On the other side, Hela carried two people into the hospital and dumped them on the makeshift beds on the floor.
" Hela, how's it going? Have you rescued everyone over there?"
Ailin ran over to Hela carrying a bunch of medical supplies and began to carry two people to examine Hela's physical condition.
"They've all been rescued; these are the last two." Hela stood beside her, looking at Ailin.
Ailin took the stethoscope down and looked at Hela with admiration in her eyes.
" Hela, you're amazing! You almost saved us as fast as my brother and I combined!"
"It's nothing." Hela shook her head faintly.
Ailin covered the two of them with the blanket, then got up and walked towards the door.
"These two are fine. Let's go find my brother and go with him. We'll go rescue the next person."
"Mmm." Hela nodded and followed her toward Fulan.
The two ran non-stop on the wide road, not daring to slow down at all.
After all, every second that goes by means one more person could die in the city, Ailin doesn't want so many people to die.
Of course, this was just Ailin's opinion; Hela didn't care.
Finally, they saw Fulan on the rooftop of a three-story building.
Just as Ailin was about to greet him happily, she suddenly saw two more figures in front of Fulan, seemingly confronting him.
Hela had also sensed the presence of the two people besides Fulan long ago.
One is a ' High Rank ' expert, and the other is a newly arrived ' King Master ' expert; neither poses a threat.
Hela grabbed Ailin and jumped onto the roof, where she stood with Fulan.
The two men on the other side became even more wary upon seeing Hela and her companion.
"Tell me! Who are you?! Does the fact that the whole city is flying have anything to do with you?!"
The masked man among the two questioned Hela and the others in an extremely cold tone.
These people were none other than Laide and Lanke, whom Xiao Huan had encountered.
Seeing the hostility emanating from the other party, Hela discreetly put one hand behind her back.
A bone knife, covered in flesh and blood, grew from her palm, then broke off and was held in Hela's hand.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Fulan tried to smooth things over.
"Gentlemen, please hear me out. We truly meant no harm; we simply happened to be in this city and witnessed this incident, and wanted to help the people here."
Fulan slightly raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm.
But Laide remained vigilant, gripping his straight knife tightly with both hands.
Having witnessed too many similar incidents before, the lessons learned through blood and tears made it impossible for him to easily trust the person in front of him.
