Chapter 427 Deep Virtual Reality 255
"Xiao An! Watch out!"
Xuan Yi lunged at the girl, allowing her to barely dodge several air blades that came slashing at her, but this also caused the girl to lose her focus, allowing them to break free of their control.
Xie Ning glanced at the doorway and saw a woman with minor burns on her face emerge from the darkness. Her palms were facing upwards, and although there was nothing there, they emitted a series of small popping sounds.
"Lucy, kill them!" The man was shielded behind his bodyguards, blood trickling from his forehead, his face twisted with rage.
Sensing danger, Xie Ning's body instantly turned into mist and moved rapidly to a distance of two meters. Where she had just stood, several knife marks half a finger deep appeared on the floor.
The air blades are invisible, but their physical abilities and senses are superior to ordinary people. In particular, Xie Ning's mental strength has been greatly enhanced after the trip to the Sky Island, so she can detect the subtle fluctuations in the air.
"Damn rats!" Lucy spat out the blood in her mouth and glared fiercely at Xie Ning and the others. She had been stopped by many people, otherwise she wouldn't have taken so long to climb to the top floor.
The gatekeepers along the way were either dead or injured, so it seems that these three people were responsible.
Others will handle the rest; her job is to protect the boss.
Xuan Yi's pupils dilated when he saw Xie Ning's superpower, and he secretly marveled at how fast she was, but he quickly regained his senses. "I'll deal with them! Xiao An, you go and take care of those bodyguards first."
The rebels' headquarters weren't here, and they had only sent a portion of their forces to expand the Ice Sea City underground city. Xuan Yi wasn't surprised to see another man emerge from behind Lucy.
Don't be fooled by the fact that only two people have come up here; there are definitely many more who have been stopped down below. The Black Gold Exchange is one of the top three black markets, so it's normal for it to have so many superhuman bodyguards.
"Um."
The girl lowered her right hand from her eyes, lifted her long bangs, and looked at the owner of the black gold exchange with her completely black pupils.
Three black phantoms suddenly sprang out from the ground. The bodyguards raised their guns, attempting to distract the phantoms with bullets. However, they were smart enough not to shoot at the phantoms, but instead aimed at the girl.
An ice wall rose up in front of the girl, directly blocking the bullet attack.
Xiao An blinked her left eye and continued to control the phantom impact, no longer choosing to draw one back to protect herself.
However, the owner of the Black Gold Exchange not only has bodyguards with low-level superpowers, but also A-level awakened individuals with even more powerful superpowers.
"clang--"
The ear-piercing sound of weapons clashing exploded in Xie Ning's ears as he stopped the charging figure.
The opponent's entire body shimmered with a grayish metallic sheen, likely due to a mutated ability that made his body incredibly hard and gave him immense strength.
"Trying to outmuscle me? You're still too green!"
The man's face was contorted, but he laughed wildly. There were only two fists between them. Xie Ning was pushed back by the force of the man's attack. Just as he was about to crash into the wall behind him, his body suddenly became ethereal.
The opponent couldn't stop in time and crashed directly into the hard wall. However, since his physical body had been strengthened, he managed to smash a dent into the metal wall.
Xie Ning appeared behind the man. Instead of using her superpower, she raised her gun, and a powerful electric current instantly pierced through the man's body. He still had disbelief in his eyes.
"How could you... I..."
Xie Ning ignored the dying man and threw down the broken bracelet in her hand before running towards the edge of the building.
The girl was lifted into the air by the huge black phantom. Seeing that something was wrong, the bodyguards used bombs, and then, in the instant the girl was blocked, they protected the man and jumped down the building.
They were wearing landing gear, so they could land safely no matter how high the building was.
"The distance isn't enough." Xiao An pursed her lips, her eyes hardening, and then she was about to jump down as well.
Xie Ning grabbed the person and said, "Are you looking for death?"
She knew about Xiao An's special ability; this seemingly tangible phantom was an extension of her own shadow. However, if she jumped down and couldn't see her shadow, she wouldn't be able to use her ability, and an accident could easily happen.
It's nighttime now, and the building's neon lights have been turned off due to the intrusion into its internal systems. Without light, there's no way to cast a shadow.
"If you don't live, you die."
The implication was that if they couldn't capture the man alive, they would have to bring back his body. Xie Ning miraculously understood the girl's unspoken meaning.
"He won't survive."
The girl followed Xie Ning's gaze and saw several drones with flashing lights buzzing below, very close to the group of people.
Suddenly, flames erupted from the explosion, and the people wearing landing gear began to fall at an extremely high speed.
Xie Ning pressed the communicator behind her ear, her tone calm but revealing regret, "Vivian, send someone down to collect the body."
After saying that, he heard a whooshing sound behind him, grabbed the girl, and jumped to the side.
Xuan Yi's situation is not good. Although he has powerful superpowers, he still suffered serious injuries fighting two opponents at once.
When the two men saw Xie Ning and his companion looking over, they sensed something was wrong. The man glanced at the somewhat charred corpse and was horrified. He grabbed the woman who was still rushing forward and said, "Lucy, we don't know how the boss is doing. Let's get out of here."
