Chapter 306: Overwhelming Aura
Thanks to the fact that Death Fighters can see each other’s titles above their heads, several Death Fighters gathering together would be particularly conspicuous in the nighttime environment.
Lu Bai didn’t need to waste time searching at all, heading straight toward the direction where those seven or eight titles were squeezed together.
Correspondingly, Ruan Boyang and the others could also see the four big words “Innocent Smile” in green approaching them rapidly.
Although they knew Lu Bai hadn’t died under the attack of [Hornet Thunder God Whip], such a terrifying explosion should at least result in heavy injuries, right?
But judging from the speed of that “Innocent Smile” moving, it seemed there wasn’t even any injury affecting his actions.
Realizing this, Ruan Boyang and the others, who had been chatting and laughing, had their expressions stiffen one after another, inevitably feeling a sense of panic as the situation spiraled out of control.
By the time Jiang Kang reacted and suggested retreating first to observe the situation, Lu Bai had already accelerated into everyone’s line of sight.
There was no firelight or explosion, nor any awe-inspiring aura.
Thanks to the effect of [Flash Time], Lu Bai appeared abruptly in front of them, the entire process completely silent.
Jiang Kang stiffened slightly as he bent at the waist: “Big Boss ‘Smiling Face’, what brings you here?”
“What are you doing? We’ve already done it, what’s the point of sucking up to him now?”
Jiang Kang’s attitude greatly dissatisfied the twin-tailed girl clinging to the back of the flat-headed man.
After this period of rest, she was speaking quite fluently now.
Of course, she was still far from being able to fire off another [Hornet Thunder God Whip].
Ruan Boyang remained calm, a smile on his face as he said with a hint of self-satisfaction: “This is our first meeting, right? You’re even more interesting than I imagined.”
Unfortunately, whether it was Jiang Kang or Ruan Boyang, Lu Bai didn’t care at all about their respective attitudes.
He just said to himself: “I’ll give you ten seconds. Tell me who suggested attacking me?”
Lu Bai’s attitude of completely disregarding them made the smile on Ruan Boyang’s face untenable, and he was about to say something to seize the initiative.
But the next second, he was shocked to discover that the “Innocent Smile” glowing green above Lu Bai’s head had disappeared.
In its place were three titles that were red to the point of black, brimming with blood qi.
Each one was a four-star title, and each required achieving a certain achievement to obtain—not something ordinary like “Innocent Smile” could compare to.
Frenzied Slaughter,
Ultimate Murderer,
Destroy Heaven and Earth.
As these three blood-drenched titles appeared above Lu Bai’s head,
A terrifying aura capable of making the world tremble shot into the sky.
Black paint and blood-red colors intertwined, as if piercing heaven and earth, an unimaginable heavy pressure acting upon the entire Containment Center.
Ordinary people in this world indeed cannot see the titles above Death Fighters’ heads, but the effects carried by the titles are not discounted in the slightest.
Even the staff in the command building who had just woken up trembled uncontrollably, like creatures at the bottom of the food chain encountering their natural predator.
Especially these few Death Fighters facing Lu Bai directly; in a daze, it was as if they saw a sea of corpses and blood, with the thick bloody smell filling their entire senses.
This was also why Lu Bai wouldn’t normally reveal these three titles of his.
After all, the effects of these three titles stacked together were far from just one plus one equals two.
With such a terrifying aura emanating from his entire body, even if Lu Bai said he wasn’t an anomaly, probably no one would believe him.
As for the few Death Fighters standing before him, under the influence of the extremely horrifying thick bloody smell, even their breathing stagnated.
Terrifying, powerful, brutal—none of these could describe the impression these Death Fighters on site had of Lu Bai.
One Death Fighter’s knees even buckled, and he knelt directly.
“‘Smiling Face’, no! Master Lu! Do you still remember me? You accepted me as your disciple during the day.”
“It’s this guy, it’s all this guy’s bewitchment. No, I pretended to surrender. I was just preparing to take him out for you at the key moment!”
This Death Fighter kneeling on the ground pointed at Ruan Boyang and shouted, his emotional fluctuations visibly intense.
Lu Bai ignored the other’s pleas for mercy and conveniently checked the abilities of these Death Fighters before him.
[Hornet Thunder God Whip], [Sailor Spinach], [One-Character Draw Knife Technique], [Expected Accident]…
In Lu Bai’s eyes, the abilities possessed by these Death Fighters on site all fell into the category of food that’s unpalatable but too wasteful to discard.
Only Ruan Boyang’s ability piqued his interest slightly.
[Act Under Cover of Darkness (Gold): After using this ability, the user’s movement speed increases, with greater enhancement the darker the surrounding environment.]
From the description of this ability, it could actually link up with his [Ink Black] for an effect.
He replaced an ability that was temporarily useless, adjusting the three abilities in the temporary slot bar to [Bursting Qi], [Alpha Strike], and [Act Under Cover of Darkness].
After doing all this, Lu Bai revealed a pure innocent smile from the heart on his face and shouted toward these Death Fighters before him.
“Time’s about up.”
He bent down and grabbed a handful of gravel from the ground.
He spread his hand, picked and chose for a moment, then suddenly threw out a thumb-sized piece of gravel.
With the powerful strength provided by [Bursting Qi], this piece of gravel whistled sharply like a bullet, instantly bursting the head of the Death Fighter kneeling on the ground.
[Points +1, Current Points: 20, Current Rank 1/94]
Seeing Lu Bai really choose to act, and targeting the pleading guy first, the remaining few Death Fighters didn’t dare stand before him any longer.
Jiang Kang even abandoned his companion and turned to run.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t escape.
These Death Fighters who had lost their abilities were no different from lambs to the slaughter before Lu Bai.
Lu Bai successively flung the pebbles in his hand, precisely hitting one back of the head after another.
[Points +6, Current Points: 26, Current Rank 1/88]
In just a few breaths, the scene fell quiet.
Lu Bai weighed the pebble in his hand and smiled lightly at Ruan Boyang: “Why aren’t you running?”
Ruan Boyang endured the discomfort from Lu Bai’s bloody and fierce aura as best he could, barely managing to say a complete sentence: “My guess was right after all—you can steal Death Fighters’ abilities.”
Lu Bai raised an eyebrow but didn’t respond.
“You can kill me now if you want; I won’t really die.”
As if realizing something, Ruan Boyang spoke more fluently: “A guy like you is too dangerous. We’ll come find you. I hope you can still smile when you see us in reality…”
