Chapter 114 Absolute Suppression, Espionage in Desperate Circumstances
When the words "hundred appearances" came out of Chen Yifan's mouth.
These words, like a sharp blade, instantly tore apart the last shred of pretense on the square.
The world fell silent.
The wind stopped.
The screams and fleeing of the crowd in the distance seemed distant and unreal.
At that moment, all the guns in the hands of the Nightingale agents went out simultaneously.
Even the few remaining hunters who were putting up a stubborn resistance all stopped at the same time.
Incredulous gazes were all focused on the unmoved man in the VIP section.
The muscles on Li Jianhong's face began to writhe and collapse in a non-physiological way.
The refined face that had remained unchanged for eighteen years, belonging to Jiangcheng tycoon Li Jianhong, was peeling away and melting away piece by piece.
Anger? Fear?
No.
In those unfathomable eyes, only pure, predatory cruelty remained, a predator's delight at being provoked by its tiny prey.
He stopped pretending.
"hehe……"
A soft laugh escaped from deep within his throat.
The voice was no longer Li Jianhong's gentle, middle-aged male voice, but a hoarse, ancient, and inhuman tone carrying the musty smell of an ancient tomb being opened.
"An interesting little thing."
He slowly stood up.
With this action, a terrifying pressure instantly spread.
It is invisible and intangible, yet it makes the air in the square feel as heavy as lead and mercury!
Click... Click...
Under this oppressive force, the glass of the buildings surrounding the square silently shattered, revealing dense, spiderweb-like cracks.
Those Nightingale agents who were just moments ago wreaking havoc now felt as if their souls were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
Their breathing stopped, and their bodies were as stiff as statues.
This is the legendary assassin, the Hundred Faces!
A monster standing at the threshold of Lv.90, just half a step away from becoming a god and a general!
"How did you know?"
Bai Xiang's gaze, piercing through hundreds of meters, landed on Chen Yifan with great interest.
That look in his eyes was like that of a craftsman examining a perfect piece of porcelain that was about to be smashed by his own hands.
"Want to know?"
Despite the pressure that seemed to crush his soul, Chen Yifan managed a maniacal smile.
He tossed the constantly trembling fragment of [Agern's Gaze] between his fingers.
He glanced at Ye Tong.
"Go ask the King of Hell!"
Before the words were even finished, Ye Tong moved!
"Form ranks!"
A cold, explosive shout came from his mouth.
The playfulness and composure on his face vanished completely, replaced by extreme solemnity.
The two pistols in his hands had disappeared at some point.
In its place is a small bronze mirror engraved with a golden bird totem.
【Rooster Order】!
This is the highest authority token of the Rooster Clan, one of the twelve guardians of the Dragon Kingdom's zodiac!
Om-!
Night Eye frantically poured her spiritual energy into Little Mirror.
A beam of golden light shot into the sky from the mirror, spreading across the square and transforming into a giant, all-encompassing golden net.
Above the giant net, countless mysterious runes flowed like boiling magma.
[Sealing Array - Heavenly Net]!
At the same time, a golden nightingale mark lit up on the foreheads of the Nightingale agents who were imprisoned by the oppressive force.
The mark resonated with the giant net in the air, instantly breaking free from the oppressive power of the Hundred Forms.
"kill!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the twelve Nightingale agents sprang up and pounced on Bai Xiang from all directions in a mysterious formation.
Instead of energy guns, they now wielded specially made chains crackling with golden electricity.
【Binding God Rope】!
This is a top-tier restraint weapon specifically designed for highly agile and stealthy professionals!
Even a level 90 professional can lock it down.
The official cards were all revealed at this moment.
"A net of heaven and earth? A rope to bind gods?"
As Bai Xiang watched all this, the inhuman smile on his face became even more twisted.
"You bunch of chicks who haven't even been weaned yet?"
"Even if the Rooster comes, it will have to avoid my sharp edge!"
He didn't even move.
He simply raised a finger and pointed it in mid-air at the Nightingale agent who was at the forefront.
"die."
One word.
The Nightingale agent's forward-charging figure suddenly froze.
The next second, his body, from his combat suit to his flesh and blood, and then to his bones, disintegrated inch by inch.
Ultimately, it transforms into the smallest specks of light and dissipates into the air.
One finger.
He instantly killed an agent who was at least level 75 and at the third job advancement!
Everyone was stunned by this illogical scene.
However, Bai Xiang's gaze never left Chen Yifan.
In his eyes, Ye Tong and his twelve subordinates were nothing more than buzzing flies.
Now!
Chen Yifan and the fragment in his hand are his only targets on this trip.
"Little one, now it's your turn."
Bai Xiang's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
In Chen Yifan's [Mind's Eye] vision, everything was blood red!
The alarm bells of death were ringing wildly in his mind!
fast!
too fast!
It transcends vision, transcends neural responses, and even transcends the limits of his perception!
He only had time to roar in his heart.
"roll……"
He didn't even have time to pull out the scroll!
A cold, withered hand, shaped like an eagle's claw, had silently landed on his shoulder.
Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at that moment.
He could clearly sense the mockery on Bai Xiang's face.
The force emanating from that hand was terrifying, enough to crush space itself.
It’s over.
There wasn't even a chance to react.
This is the absolute power of Lv.90...
The shadow of death had completely descended.
However, just before that force was about to erupt and completely crush him into dust, he was killed.
An unexpected change occurred!
In Chen Yifan's arms, an inconspicuous scarecrow suddenly emitted a strange, blood-red light.
[Rank B - Substitute Scarecrow], triggered!
boom! ! !
The "Chen Yifan" who was captured by Bai Xiang instantly turned into a scarecrow with a strange smiling face painted on it, and then exploded!
The real Chen Yifan appeared out of nowhere a hundred meters away in a messy media interview area.
The spatial displacement is completed in one-hundredth of a second.
"Um?"
For the first time, Bai Xiang's face showed surprise.
He looked at the bits of grass scattered in his palm, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
It's now!
"town!"
Night Eyes seized this fleeting opportunity.
He spat a mouthful of blood onto the [Rooster Order]!
The giant golden net in the sky shone brightly and suddenly sank downwards, like Mount Tai pressing down, fiercely covering Bai Xiang!
Meanwhile, the remaining eleven Nightingale agents transformed the [Binding God Rope] in their hands into eleven golden dragons, sealing off all possible spaces for Bai Xiang to evade!
The official's most powerful weapon has finally been unleashed!
Boom—!
The golden light clashed violently with the oppressive darkness.
The ground of the entire city center square cracked layer by layer under the impact of this energy collision, and instantly sank by half a meter!
A terrifying energy storm spread wildly in all directions.
As soon as Chen Yifan appeared, he was swept up by the aftershocks of the storm.
He was thrown out like a kite with a broken string.
He managed to steady himself in mid-air, spitting out a mouthful of scalding blood.
The aftershocks alone caused him considerable internal injuries.
But his eyes were frighteningly bright.
He stared intently at the center of the battlefield.
There, golden light shone brightly, runes filled the sky, and the figures of a hundred different forms were firmly suppressed and bound in place by the [Heavenly Net] and eleven [Binding God Ropes].
Succeeded?
No.
Chen Yifan's cunning was perfectly clear.
There was no trace of panic on Bai Xiang's face.
It's actually a more morbid state of excitement!
"Not bad, not bad, this is finally starting to get interesting."
Bai Xiang moved his neck, which was bound by chains, and the bones made a crisp grinding sound.
"They've prepared such a grand 'ceremony' to welcome me; wouldn't it be incredibly impolite of me not to reciprocate with a generous gift?"
He raised his head, his inhuman eyes sweeping over Ye Tong, over Chen Yifan, and finally landing on the sky.
"Let me show you what real..."
""assassin"."
The moment the words fell.
Bai Xiang's body began to become transparent and ethereal.
He was like a drop of dark ink falling into clear water, quickly blending into the surrounding... shadows.
It's not stealth, it's not disappearing.
Rather, it is truly transformed into a "shadow"!
The [Binding God Rope] binding him instantly lost its target and fell limply to the ground.
The net of heaven and earth that was suppressing him also lost its effect.
Bai Xiang vanished completely right before everyone's eyes, at the core of the S-level sealing array!
"Oh no! It's the [SS-rank talent - Myriad Thoughts Return to Shadow]! He can decompose himself and project his image into every shadow!"
Ye Tong's expression was extremely solemn.
At that very moment, a chilling sense of crisis exploded in the hearts of Chen Yifan and Ye Tong at the same time!
Without a second thought, Chen Yifan crushed the 30 million yuan A-grade scroll in his arms!
【Absolute Defense Scroll (Fake)】, activated!
A golden, semi-transparent shield instantly enveloped him.
Almost at the same time.
In front of him, behind him, to his left and right, in every shadow in the square where the light couldn't reach, a withered hand stretched out simultaneously!
Hundreds and thousands of hands reached out to grab him from all directions, leaving no gaps!
No, it wasn't just him.
Everyone present!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless attacks, like a storm, bombarded the golden shield in a fraction of a second!
next second.
The terrifying impact shattered the protective shield and slammed into Chen Yifan.
puff--!
He was struck as if by a heavy hammer, his body flying backward like a cannonball, crashing into a load-bearing wall in the distance and being buried by countless steel bars and cement.
A figure reappeared in a flower bed a hundred meters away.
[Rank B - Substitute Scarecrow] has been triggered again!
This time, Chen Yifan learned his lesson.
[Spatial Flash]
[Lightning Speed]
Shadow Step
Mimicry and camouflage
Simultaneously launched.
He reappeared, now hidden among an inconspicuous pile of ruins.
fortunately!
He has a stand-in scarecrow.
On the other side, Night's situation was equally dire.
Countless golden birds—no, phantoms of roosters—appeared around him, clashing wildly with the hand emerging from the shadows, with hundreds of attacks and defenses every second.
But he was a moment too slow.
A ghostly hand pierced through his defenses and imprinted itself on his chest.
Ye Tong let out a muffled groan and flew backward, the [Rooster Token] flying out of her hand and rolling on the ground.
powerful!
This is the true power of a legendary assassin!
Amidst the ruins, Chen Yifan peered through the gaps between the stones.
He stared intently at the terrifying area composed of countless shadowy arms.
"Secret investigation!"
Chen Yifan used all his strength to issue this command in his mind!
Goal—A Hundred Aspects!
failure!
"Secret investigation!"
failure!
"Secret investigation...secret investigation..."
Failure after failure, repeated attempts to steal information.
The disparity in mental strength is too great.
Chen Yifan was unwilling to accept this.
"Secret surveillance!!!"
next second.
Chen Yifan felt his mental energy being drained in an instant.
A vast and terrifying spiritual force, connected by some unseen force, came back to attack!
The Ring of the Thief God's Hand is triggering its attributes and abilities like crazy!
His mental energy level was flashing wildly between zero and full value, hundreds of times per second!
He felt his brain being repeatedly torn apart and then forcibly stitched back together by the power of the ring!
And it was in this agonizing purgatory that a golden panel, radiating boundless majesty, finally unfolded slowly before him.
[Mental state: 999 o'clock]
[List of items that can be stolen]:
【1. Talent (SS-level): Myriad Shadows Return (Can decompose oneself into thousands of shadows, immune to physical attacks, the shadows are immortal and the self is immortal)】
[2. Talent (S-level): Deadly Disguise (Can perfectly simulate any target below one's own level, stealing their identity, memories, and behavioral patterns)]
【3. Talent (Grade A): Silent Death Realm (Passive talent, eliminates all sound, smell, and heat generated by the user's actions)】
[4. Professional Skill (S-rank): Rule Annihilation - One Finger of Silence (Consumes a huge amount of resources, with a chance to directly obliterate the target's concept of 'existence')]
[5. Equipment (???): Yorgon's Gaze (lacking core component)]
……
999 points of mental strength?
A thought, like a thunderclap, exploded in Chen Yifan's shattered consciousness.
How...how is this possible!
Bai Xiang's spiritual power is actually lower than his?!
That terrifying and irresistible mental backlash before...
Could it be that it doesn't come from the Hundred Forms, but from some super powerful piece of equipment?
That's it!
It's impossible for an assassin to possess such high mental attributes.
He's not a monk.
In other words...
At that moment, Chen Yifan's eyes shone brightly.
"steal!"
