MTLNOVEL Chapter 113: Two Red Dots!
"Clang!"
The crisp sound echoed, and Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel his heart shake.
The bayonet poked on the false shadow of the Purple Ribbon Robe, while the defense equipment on Jiang Yuan's body helped him block this fatal attack.
The owner of the bayonet didn't seem surprised; after retracting the bayonet slightly, he swiftly stabbed forward again.
But this time, he struck thin air.
Or to be precise, it wasn't a complete miss.
As the bayonet passed through falling leaves, the power differential made the assailant stumble.
Jiang Yuan appeared five meters away.
It was the activation of [72 Transformations·Fake Shape] that allowed him to switch places with the leaves, thereby dodging the second hidden attack.
The false shadow on the Purple Ribbon Robe dimmed somewhat, but it should still shield against two more strikes.
However, if evasion was possible, why endure an attack?
"Nezha, quick battle, quick decision!"
Seeing that the owner of the bayonet was preparing to retreat after a failed strike, Jiang Yuan quickly shouted and then used the Linglong Tower.
The Linglong Tower engulfed the man who had just managed to become invisible, and soon after, he revealed his figure.
A gaunt man clad in all black.
He seemed somewhat surprised, but then he initiated an attack at the Linglong Tower.
However, the special characteristics of the Linglong Tower rendered the man's bayonet completely harmless.
On the other side, Nezha noticed Jiang Yuan's situation.
Seeing Jiang Yuan unharmed, Nezha sighed in relief and immediately activated [Three-Headed Six-Armed].
Wielding the Fire-tipped Spear, his powerful and hefty attacks forced the muscular brute to defend with his axe.
The moment Jiang Yuan chose to trap his opponent with Linglong Tower instead of making a move for himself, he had made up his mind.
He didn't want to let a single one escape!
Although he didn't know whether there were more attackers behind him.
But he still retained the [Earth Walking Skill] in his hand.
As long as the Purple Ribbon Robe could fend off the attacks, he could escape using [Earth Walking Skill].
But now, with no one else emerging from behind, it was time to deal with Nezha's adversary.
Jiang Yuan watched the battle between Nezha and the muscular brute.
The muscular brute was already struggling to cope, the powerful strikes from Nezha making him feel as if his palms were about to split.
Without Jiang Yuan, it would have only been a matter of time before Nezha finished off the muscular brute in front of him.
A card appeared in the hands of Jiang Yuan, and he released it simultaneously with Nezha's attack.
[Water Spirit·Water Shackles]!
Water-shackles formed around the wrists of the muscular brute, binding them together.
In the blink of an eye, Nezha's Fire-tipped Spear pointed towards the muscular brute's chest.
The muscular brute was startled and immediately tried to break free.
But the Fire-tipped Spear was too fast; by the time the muscular brute realized, it had already stabbed into his chest.
"Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing resounded, and a bronze-colored disc illusion rose, blocking the Fire-tipped Spear's attack.
This was the muscular brute's defense equipment.
After blocking the attack, the luster of the bronze disc dimmed significantly.
Facing another attack that could break his defense, the muscular brute clenched his teeth.
Exhausting his Star Power to its limit, he had to unleash this Skill Card!
A blue Skill Card appeared in front of him; as the blue light flickered, flames erupted on the Double-edged Long-handled Axe in the brute's hands.
As the flames bloomed, the Water Shackles around the brute's hands also shattered.
Blue quality Skill Card [Flame Slash]!
The brute swung his Double-edged Long-handled Axe down, smashing it directly towards Nezha.
Nezha blocked the incoming strike with his Fire-tipped Spear, while his body also emitted flames to ward off the erosion from the flames on the axe.
"Pfft!"
Just as the deadlock persisted, the muscular brute's chest was suddenly pierced by a Fire-tipped Spear.
The first skill of the Purple Flame Serpent Spear, Illusion, was unleashed.
Held by the two hands that Nezha extended from under his ribs, it plunged directly into the muscular brute's chest.
"How? There's another one..."
The muscular brute watched incredulously as a second Fire-tipped Spear, identical to the first, appeared in Nezha's hand before he finally dissipated into light.
It might sound like a lengthy fight, but in reality, Nezha's battle concluded very quickly.
At this moment, the skinny man was still relentlessly thrusting his bayonet at the Linglong Tower, trying to break through it.
He recognized the muscular brute who just died, someone ranked fifty places higher than himself.
And yet, such a formidable opponent was taken down within less than ten exchanges at the hands of the enemy.
What about me?
I'm certainly not the type to confront head-on.
"Speaking of which, what if he escapes after we release him?"
Nezha, carrying the Fire-tipped Spear, came up to the Linglong Tower and asked while observing the skinny man inside who continued his assault.
"That's a valid concern."
Jiang Yuan also arrived beside Nezha, nodded thoughtfully as he peered at the skinny man within the Linglong Tower.
"Speaking of which, should I make a card that can restrict the opponent?"
Jiang Yuan was somewhat familiar with the profession of assassin card masters.
Skills like powerful invisibility, sudden advance, displacement, etc., made them extremely difficult to catch.
This was precisely why Jiang Yuan chose not to use the Linglong Tower to protect himself but rather to capture this guy first.
Had he not been caught, once he escaped, it would have been a tough task to recapture him.
Not to mention how difficult it would be to catch him again, who knows if he'd keep targeting me.
Having a dangerous individual covertly stalking you is no trivial matter.
After all, no one can be on guard against a thief every day.
But now, the problem was, Jiang Yuan also feared that once he dispelled the Linglong Tower, the guy would immediately take the chance to flee.
That would be a loss.
Sadly, his Linglong Tower had not advanced to the next level yet; it still lacked the ability to attack the person inside.
Nor did he have any restraining cards at the moment.
However, this situation made Jiang Yuan realize the lack of variety in his deck.
Once out of this situation, he would have to use an Array Card capable of trapping the opponent.
By then, setting up the Linglong Tower followed by the release of an Array Card, and then retracting the Linglong Tower would ensure that the opponent couldn't escape.
"So, what do we do now?"
"I have no idea either."
With all six arms spread, Nezha wore a helpless expression: "Shall we let him out for a try?"
"Are you confident of a one-shot kill?"
"No."
Nezha firmly shook his head. Who would know if he had any defense equipment on him?
"It's such a headache."
Jiang Yuan checked his cards, seeming to have no guarantee that he could detain this individual.
As Jiang Yuan and Nezha were feeling troubled, a screen once again appeared in front of the three.
Jiang Yuan looked up, and instantly, his heart skipped a beat.
Two red dots were unexpectedly close to his green marker!
"Ha, the timing for this screen couldn't be worse."
One of the vice-principals outside laughed upon seeing this scene.
The person who had been hiding well was inadvertently exposed by the sudden appearance of the map.
"No choice, it's part of the rules."
