The moment he regained his senses, Bai Qi rushed straight towards the little girl, determined to reclaim his face.
But just as he rushed out, Bai Qi suddenly realized that the speed he was once so proud of had disappeared. Although his current speed was still far beyond that of ordinary people, it was entirely due to the physical qualities of a third-level spirit master, not his maximum speed!
It disappeared at lightning speed.
"My abilities... have been taken away!"
"What!? She stole my face, and now she's taking away my abilities too?" Everyone was shocked, seeing the little girl as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
To prevent the little girl from attacking again, Yang Ming rushed forward in one stride, his embroidered shoes appearing on his feet, instantly increasing his speed.
Even so, Yang Ming, wearing embroidered shoes, was still a fraction slower than the little girl. No matter how hard he swung his sword, he was always just a fraction short of hitting her.
Bai Qi also wanted to step forward to help, but having lost his third-order extreme speed, he was unable to intervene in the battle.
At this point, Ma Xingbang no longer concealed his strength. Facing an S-level monster, hiding one's strength would be a ridiculous act.
In particular, this S-class anomaly possesses the ability to steal others' abilities, so we must deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise, if it steals more of their abilities, the outcome will be total annihilation.
"Get out of the way!" Ma Xingbang roared, then suddenly stretched out his right hand towards the little girl, while his left hand gripped her right wrist tightly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ming immediately dodged away.
boom!
In an instant! An invisible pressure emanated from Ma Xingbang's hand, as if time had slowed down. The little girl was enveloped by this pressure, and her movements immediately became sluggish.
At the same time, the ground beneath the little girl's feet began to crack under the weight, as if an elephant, rather than a little girl, was standing on it.
gravity?
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered; he had already seen through the ability Ma Xingbang was using—it was gravity.
The same move was used to crush the heads of thousands of people with a single blow, using gravity to crush them alive.
However, the little girl's strength was clearly beyond the control of gravity. The immense and invisible gravity pressing down on her only slowed her movements.
But that was enough for Yang Ming.
He was already able to keep up with the little girl's speed at this level.
The embroidered shoes beneath his feet emitted an eerie red light, and Yang Ming's speed increased dramatically as he slashed fiercely at the little girl.
Suppressed by gravity, the little girl, whose speed was greatly reduced, had no way to dodge Yang Ming's knife and could only watch helplessly as her chest was brutally slashed open.
"ah!"
A cry of pain rang out.
However, the sound did not come from the little girl, but from behind Yang Ming.
It was Bai Qi!
Suddenly, a huge, penetrating wound appeared on Bai Qi's chest, running from his left shoulder to his right abdomen. Blood gushed out instantly, and he was forced to kneel on the ground in excruciating pain, his face pale as he used a short sword to support himself.
Upon seeing this, Yang Ming's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the little girl, only to find that her wounds had already healed slowly and she was completely unharmed.
In an instant, he understood everything. It turned out that after his face was taken away, he not only lost his abilities, but his life was also connected to the little girl.
Cutting down a little girl with a white face now is the same as cutting down the white face.
It's like the little girl has an extra life. Before Bai Qi dies, it seems he can't harm the little girl.
How can we fight like this?
Each face you steal grants you an additional ability and an extra life.
Such a terrifying and unsolvable ability, is this what S-class is?
At this moment, Yang Ming understood the meaning of S-class even more. S-class beings can destroy a country without any restrictions, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
An S-rank nightmare that endlessly devours fear, pulling everyone into a dream. The more people who are afraid, the stronger it becomes, like a snowball rolling downhill.
The S-rank Faceless One has an extra face, which means an extra life. It can also steal the abilities of Spirit Masters. If left to grow unchecked, it will eventually become a monster with countless abilities that is impossible to kill.
Each S-class supernatural being may have different abilities and strengths, but they all have one thing in common: they are all equally terrifying!
"Kill her now! I can't hold on much longer!" Ma Xingbang roared at Yang Ming.
But Yang Ming hesitated. He didn't know if the little girl would die after he stabbed her, but Bai Qi would definitely die.
Seeing Yang Ming hesitate, Ma Xingbang angrily cursed, "Hurry up and do it! If you kill her, at most Bai Qi will die, but if you don't kill her, we'll all die!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Ming's body trembled instantly, his hand gripping the short knife tightly, and he pointed it at Ma Xingbang: "If you dare to utter another word, I'll kill you first!"
"You!" Ma Xingbang was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
The veins on his face were bulging, clearly indicating that he was about to give up. After all, he was an S-class monster. Even though he had never left the Green Mountain Mental Hospital and had not yet taken over many faces to fully grow up, an S-class monster was still an S-class monster.
Just then, Bai Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, managed to stand up. He dragged his badly injured body and walked step by step toward the little girl, leaving a bloody footprint with each step.
Yang Ming's expression suddenly changed: "Xiao Bai, what do you want to do!"
"Get out of the way!" Bai Qi said coldly, like a severely wounded lone wolf.
"No way!"
Yang Ming knew Bai Qi too well and naturally knew what the other party wanted to do. He knew he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he decided to kill the little girl himself.
This is tantamount to suicide; Bai Qi wanted to commit suicide so that Yang Ming could live.
But Yang Ming wanted Bai Qi to live.
According to the plot of the TV series, this scene would inevitably lead to a passionate and touching moment.
However, reality is not a TV drama; the villains won't have the patience to watch the protagonists finish their act of brotherly affection.
