The usually bustling club was now closed, with a prominent notice of temporary closure posted on the door.
Looking through the window, tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and wine glasses and cocktail shakers are arranged in an orderly manner on the bar. The parasols on the terrace are folded up and neatly leaned against the wall, and the beach chairs are stacked together.
Ying Xiao moved swiftly, instantly pulling out a gleaming dagger and swinging it fiercely at the door lock.
With a crisp "click," the sound of metal clashing was particularly jarring in the silence, and the door lock slammed shut.
She casually tucked the dagger back into her waistband and entered the club with Ji Fu.
Dim light streamed in through the window, and dust particles danced wildly in the beams of light. Ying Xiao didn't hesitate for a moment, carefully taking something out of the card album.
It was a black bead no bigger than a peanut.
The inside of the bead shimmered with an extremely faint light, as if it might go out at any moment, yet it stubbornly shone.
Holding the bead, Ying Xiao began to pace around the club, first crouching down to examine a corner, then looking up at the ceiling.
The opportunity... has arrived!
In Ji Fu's eyes, a dark glint flashed by like a shooting star.
The instant Ying Xiao turned his back to him, his movements were as fast as lightning. With lightning speed, he pulled out the [Normal Battle Card] from his pocket and flung it at Ying Xiao.
In an instant, a blinding white light burst forth, its radiance like a surging tide, instantly engulfing the two figures.
Immediately afterwards, the two figures vanished from their original positions, as if they had never been there at all.
Almost at the same moment, Yu Xiangnan sent messages to Xia Baizhi and Huo Qingyi.
Upon receiving the message, the three rushed to the designated location and quickly took their positions, ready to lie in wait.
Xia Baizhi moved swiftly and went straight to where the two had been standing. He took out a strange-looking picture that resembled a bear trap from the card album and skillfully stuck it to the ground.
Once everything was in place, Xia Baizhi clapped his hands in satisfaction, a confident smile spreading across his face. He said proudly, "This is a great success! My skill is incredibly powerful. As soon as they come out and touch this painting, they will be frozen in place for a full three seconds. No matter what skills or props they use, they won't be able to break free."
"This skill is practically tailor-made for this operation. The only downside is that the wind-up time is a bit long, otherwise it would be truly invincible."
Huo Qingyi then took out a bundle of rope that shone with dazzling golden light from the card album, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "Three seconds is more than enough time. When that fake Ying Xiao appears, I will seize the opportunity and use this rope to tie her up tightly to prevent her from escaping."
Yu Xiangnan's gaze swept over the two men's faces one by one, and he earnestly instructed them, "Yes, everyone, please don't be careless. There are many variables in this operation. I can fight in close combat this time, and if anything happens, you can provide ranged support. We will cooperate with each other to ensure that everything goes smoothly."
Xia Baizhi and Huo Qingyi exchanged a glance and nodded.
About 15 minutes later, the two reappeared. The moment Xia Bai's animal trap took effect, Ying Xiao and Ji Fu were suddenly frozen in place.
Compared to before, Ji Fu looked extremely disheveled. Seeing that he had been frozen in place as soon as he came out, his expression changed. "Hey! You guys are hurting yourselves more than your enemies! How did you manage to trap your own people too!"
As Yu Xiangnan quickly approached Ying Xiao, he replied, "No problem, your part is already perfectly completed, go and recharge."
As he spoke, he casually tossed Ji Fu a [Healing Card].
The instant the two began to speak, Huo Qingyi swiftly formed hand seals, manipulating the golden rope like a nimble python, which coiled towards Ying Xiao.
In the blink of an eye, Ying Xiao was tightly bound by ropes and unable to move.
Huo Qingyi's specially made gloves emitted a faint light. With a thought, dense vines quickly sprouted from the ground around her, like clawing tentacles, completely blocking Ying Xiao's escape route.
Yu Xiangnan, holding an iron shovel, seized the opportunity while Ying Xiao was bound and shoveled it fiercely towards Ying Xiao's face!
However, just as the shovel was about to strike Ying Xiao, her body vanished like a dream, instantly turning into a strange cloud of smoke.
not good!
Yu Xiangnan thought to himself, then quickly leaped backward, warily scanning his surroundings.
The plume of smoke churned and swirled in the air, seemingly alive, constantly changing shape. Suddenly, several whip-like black shadows emerged from the smoke and lashed out at Yu Xiangnan and Huo Qingyi.
Huo Qing reacted quickly, manipulating the vines to instantly erect a defensive barrier. The black shadow struck the vines, making muffled "bang" sounds!
"Fei Duo!" Yu Xiangnan called out.
[Fedo]: Here I come!
call out--
A beam of light suddenly entered Yu Xiangnan's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, Ying Xiao's figure immediately appeared clearly in her "field of vision".
A striking red halo surrounded her, making her outline clearly visible. All obstructions were rendered useless; nothing that could block her view could interfere with her lock on.
However, that outline is no longer human-shaped.
Yu Xiangnan couldn't describe what it was either. She dodged the attack nimbly and then swung the shovel again.
Without warning, the smoke that had been drifting in all directions seemed to be drawn by an invisible yet powerful force, instantly locking onto her. In an instant, it surged towards her like wild horses, unleashed with unstoppable momentum.
"Southbound, watch out!"
Xia Baizhi's voice suddenly rose, filled with undisguised anxiety.
Almost simultaneously, her body shot out like an arrow, and without hesitation, she stood in front of Yu Xiangnan.
An attack carrying a chilling aura landed heavily on Xia Baizhi's arm, instantly tearing open the flesh and causing bright red blood to gush out.
"Xiaobai!" Yu Xiangnan's eyes were filled with panic and worry, and his voice trembled slightly.
Despite the pain, Xia Baizhi shook her head quickly. Her voice trembled slightly from the pain, but her tone was firm: "I'm fine." As she spoke, she quickly took out a [Health Recovery Card].
A soft light instantly enveloped his wound, and the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yu Xiangnan took a deep breath, suppressing his unease, and said in a deep voice, "You should rest first, don't worry about me."
Seeing Xia Baizhi nod, she then raised her eyes and looked at the fake Yingxiao who had reassembled into human form.
