Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 61 Contradictions

"So it was those two foreigners who were marked by the [Clock] who cut off the marked flesh and had their henchmen take it to the road blocked by the [Clock], but they could actually appear on the route where we Level 2 members are at any time now?" Shark asked incredulously at the rendezvous point after hearing Sunny's explanation.

Qingtian nodded solemnly.

The affirmative answer confirmed the tragic reality. The shark crouched down, clutching its head. The whole fish looked like it had been dragged ashore and left to dry for three days and three nights; it had turned into a salted fish.

"It's over, it's all over, I'm totally doomed. Level 4 is so strong, I can't beat them at all, I'm definitely going to die tonight, sob sob sob. I still have so much money left to spend, I feel so cheated..."

They dared not move, absolutely dared not move. No one dared to gamble on a level four perception ability. If it were a level four ability user who could sense other people's abilities, they could be killed in a single move if they passed by.

“There are four routes, maybe it’s not us.” Pufferfish was the most carefree of the three burly men, scratching his head as he comforted them.

"If it were us, how many lives would we have to die?" Gray Wolf said dejectedly as usual, his usually disdainful voice trembling noticeably.

Sunny remained silent. The trio had only heard of the terror of Level 4 and could still make some witty remarks, but Sunny, who had personally witnessed the strength of Level 4, felt his throat being repeatedly choked.

"They've arrived." Chu Deng, the most composed person in the room, uttered two words softly.

The girl's clear voice stirred their souls in the silence of the night. Upon hearing it, the four men's hearts pounded. They stiffly twisted their necks, turning their heads like old, creaking robots, following Chu Deng's gaze.

"run!!!"

Chu Deng was looking at an empty place, but a deadly sense of crisis swept over him. Qing Tian's eyes were bloodshot as he roared a warning with all his might.

The three who had just reached the second level were unable to move under the pressure of the fourth level, their wide eyes bulging as if they were about to disappoint their captain.

"Thump thump—whoosh—"

A whole light rail train was traveling through the air, hurtling towards the five people at a chilling speed. The steel dragon circled around them, its falling shadow enveloping them, about to devour them in the blink of an eye.

Chu Deng raised her hand and waved it to block the oppressive force for the four people who were unable to move.

There was no time to think about why they could move. No matter how deformed or ugly their movements were, even if they had to use their hands and feet, they had to use all their skills to scatter in all directions.

Chu Deng dodged the oncoming train. The howling wind tore her hair into disarray. Despite the sudden attack, Chu Deng remained calm. However, when she saw the train crashing down on the residential buildings behind her without stopping, her heart skipped a beat.

"Insects." The fourth-level metal elementalist said disdainfully. He was not even close to Chu Deng and his group of five. Even as a fourth-level individual, it would take him five minutes to travel there. But even from a distance, Chu Deng and his group of second-level ability users were nothing to him. He could kill them with a flick of his wrist.

"You're making too much noise." Looking at the exaggerated steel dragon in the distance, the wood-type ability user disagreed, "It will attract them here, and that treacherous space-type ability user is also chasing us."

"We're not going to hide anymore. Once Enrique comes to join us and treat us, we'll kill them all." Jin snorted, his voice filled with killing intent.

After being severely injured at the Haishi base, he, who had long been high and mighty, could not bear the failure of this mission. It was as if someone had torn off his face and thrown him to the ground to trample on him. He was filled with anger, and his restless heart and the resentment of being humiliated needed blood to soothe it.

If he can't beat He Feiquan, who is at level five, then surely he can beat these low-level ability users who are like ants?

Since they dared to appear within his perception range and were so close to their retreat route, he regarded them all as enemies.

"No, if He finds out, he'll cut off our escape route. I don't want to die at sea." The wood-type ability user shook her head and raised her hand to clench her fist in the distance.

As Chu Deng watched the train about to crash into the residential building, flames erupted from her body. The next moment, towering flames engulfed the surroundings, and the steel train melted into molten iron the instant it entered the flame zone, turning crimson red.

At the same time, the plants in the apartments on each floor of the residential building exploded, and countless roots, stems and leaves enveloped the building, only to turn to ashes the moment they came into contact with the flames.

Chu Deng's eyes flickered, and he looked thoughtfully toward the two fourth-level positions in the distance.

One is of the metal element and the other of the wood element; their energy is low, and they appear to be severely injured.

The two seemed to have a disagreement, which led to the train crashing into the building, but the plants protecting the building.

The two, whose perception abilities were far inferior to Chu Deng's, frowned and fell silent as they stared at the firelight.

"F**k! Why are so many people popping up?!" Jin Xi cried out in a frenzy.

To intercept his attack, one must be at least level four.

Damn it, China has so many high-level superhumans, and they even have a level four fire-type hidden in there!

Both of them are countered by fire-type abilities. The reason they were sent here on a mission and were so confident that they could escape unscathed is simply because they think China is a world-renowned desert of fire-type ability users!

Even the Wood element frowned: "Are the intelligence agency's people just sitting around doing nothing?!"

"Go find Enrique," Jin said with a gloomy face. They were both seriously injured and needed treatment, otherwise they would really be doomed in China.

The Wood element quickly communicated with the plant that responded to him. A Night-Shining Grass was infected by him and sent him a blurry image. The Wood element stared intently at it and felt a chill run down his spine.

"Huff...cough cough..."

Their last hope, Enrique, was covered in blood and staggering as he searched for a place to hide, with two menacing black shadows trailing behind him.

Sensing the elements exchanged by the wood-type ability user, the Night-Shining Grass shook its leaves in the humid air, letting out a cheer, and the whole grass grew much taller under the nourishment of the rich energy.

"What's wrong? What happened to Enrique? Fuck you, tell me now!" The metal element, keenly aware of the wood element's unusual behavior, asked impatiently.

The Wood elementalist looked at his companion, his eyes filled with desolation: "Enrique is being chased by a Water elementalist."

"You can provide remote support using plants, I'll head over first," the metal-type ability user decided, disappearing in a flash before giving the wood-type ability user a chance to speak.

On the other side, Shi Qingyu looked up and frowned, but there was nothing he could do. He sent a message to the [Bluebird] chasing the light element: "He Feiquan is here, let's go!"

White Rose sat to the side, fiddling with her hair. Seeing this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Tonight has been really unlucky. Nothing has gone according to your plan."

Shi Qingyu didn't look at her. When she saw the message from Qingtian that everyone was alive, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little, and she was in the mood to respond to Bai Meigui's teasing: "Fortunately, no one died."

“Yes…” White Rose seemed to be thinking of her fallen comrade. Gazing at the moon in the sky, she sighed, “Jin Peng died on a night like this back then…”

That young man, who loved music and was skilled with a short dagger, was her captain, her guiding light, and also her first love…

Shi Qingyu's eyes flickered, and he walked away in silence.

"Where to?" White Rose asked.

"Those two level fours are nearby. I'm going to finish them off." Two familiar auras appeared within Shi Qingyu's perception range. He knew that the two foreigners would definitely come looking for this light-elemental being.

"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." White Rose touched her lips with her finger, watching the clock's retreating figure, and murmured softly.
