F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 229 Little brother, I believe in you, you'll definitely succeed.

Zhao Hu's worldview has been completely shattered today.

Only one word remained in his mind.

run.

Escape from this devil who wears your own face, the farther the better.

But he can't escape.

Chen Yifan gripped his arm with his hand.

That power was terrifying, unlike anything human.

Zhao Hu, who was concentrating his energy, heard his own bones emitting a mournful cry before they broke.

"Little brother, don't be afraid."

Chen Yifan's voice remained gentle, filled with an elder brother's love and encouragement.

"I believe in you, you can do it."

Fuck you!

Zhao Hu roared wildly inside his head, but fear choked his throat, preventing him from making a sound.

Thor's indifferent gaze was fixed on them.

"What are you two waiting for?"

Thor's tone was full of barely conscious patience.

"Big brother!"

Chen Yifan instantly put on an extremely obsequious smile, pointed to the street ahead shrouded in the shadow of death, and spoke with impassioned fervor.

"Don't worry! My brother may not be the sharpest of them all, but he's absolutely a loyal and devoted man!"

"He'll go right away and scout the way for you!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Chen Yifan gave a sudden shove.

A brute force, absolutely not belonging to an assassin, much less a level 27 professional, suddenly erupted in his palm.

Zhao Hu's heavy body, weighing over 200 pounds, instantly lost all balance.

He was thrown out like a piece of trash, plunging headfirst into that deadly ambush zone.

"Holy shit—!"

Finally, Zhao Hu managed to squeeze out a roar filled with grief, indignation, and despair.

He had never felt so frustrated in his entire life!

He was sold off like trash by that bastard who had his own face on him!

The instinct for survival instantly overwhelmed everything.

His eyes were bloodshot, his pupils filled with veins, as he stared intently at the death zone ahead, a tapestry of vines and arrows.

He used all his strength to protect himself with the heavy tower shield.

He curled his massive body into a ball, like a runaway siege tank, charging headlong into the enemy!

"Come on! You sons of bitches! Come at your grandpa Tiger!"

A beastly roar tore through the air.

Since there's no way to retreat, let's fight to the death!

This fierce and resolute scene caused everyone on the battlefield to be momentarily stunned.

Thor and his men stared at "Zhao Yifan," who was charging into battle alone, as if he were a madman.

Even Onizuka Ryuichi, who was lurking in the shadows, was slightly taken aback by this unconventional fighting style.

A suicide mission strategy?

In an instant, all firepower was redirected and poured down on Zhao Hu!

Poisoned arrows wove a dark green rain, lashing fiercely against his tower shield, producing a sickening metallic cracking sound.

The vines underground sensed the presence of life, broke through the soil, and frantically wrapped around his legs, trying to drag him into an endless abyss.

Zhao Hu felt like a small boat on a raging sea, about to be torn to pieces by the icy waves at any moment.

But he gritted his teeth and held on!

The B-grade talent [Immovable as a Mountain] is pushed to its limit!

His skin gleamed with a dark metallic sheen, deflecting all the stray arrows that pierced through the gaps in the shield's defenses.

With each step he took, the cement ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.

He stubbornly endured the rain of arrows and vines, step by step, crushing his way toward the heart of the ambush!

This fierce, almost insane demeanor stunned everyone.

Thor's eyes finally showed a hint of seriousness.

This seemingly simple and honest big guy is actually such a pure berserker!

However, no one noticed.

Just as all eyes were drawn to Zhao Hu, this mobile fortress...

A figure had already quietly blended into the shadows of the ruins.

Chen Yifan.

The moment he pushed Zhao Hu away, his figure and aura completely merged with the darkness.

He has completely disappeared.

It blends into every inch of shadow.

silent.

No breath.

He didn't even glance at his "younger brother" who was risking his life to draw fire.

His goal, from beginning to end, has always been the same.

Onizuka Ryuichi.

He transformed into the most patient predator, silently flanking from the opposite direction along the shadows of the buildings.

Zhao Hu's shield is indeed very useful.

This move to shift the blame eastward was absolutely perfect.

Firstly, this makes Zhao Hu, an unstable piece, a target to draw fire, so he won't have time to get in the way.

Secondly, it also successfully captured Thor's full attention.

And that's exactly what Chen Yifan wanted.

What he had to do was, when everyone was ignoring him, deliver the most lethal blow from the most unexpected angle.

His figure moved swiftly through the ruins without making a sound.

The "Mind's Eye" domain has already accurately constructed a three-dimensional map of the entire battlefield in the mind.

Onizuka Ryuichi's location had already been locked by him.

The Japanese swordsman was kneeling on the top of a half-collapsed building 800 meters away, like a stone sculpture, blending into the ruins.

He was gathering his strength.

He was waiting for an opportunity to strike decisively.

Chen Yifan, too, was waiting.

Waiting for an opportunity to kill Onizuka Ryuichi in one blow.

The battlefield instantly transformed into a chessboard for a three-way game.

Zhao Hu was the "car" pushed to the front line, charging around and attracting all the visible firepower.

Tohru and Onizuka Ryuichi are two chess players who are scheming against each other across the chessboard.

Chen Yifan is the gambler hiding beneath the chessboard, ready to overturn the table at any moment.

"Damn, those bastards have real firepower!"

Zhao Hu felt that his left arm was about to lose sensation.

Every impact from the tower shield felt like a battering ram, slamming deep into his bones.

He could even clearly hear the groans of his own arm bones, strained under the weight.

He had never fought such a frustrating battle in his life.

Ahead lies a hail of bullets, behind him a group of "teammates" who could stab him in the back at any moment.

The only thing he can trust now is the shield in his hand.

And... the last words that bastard who pushed him into the fire whispered in his ear.

"Live on."

Oh shit!

Zhao Hu let out a beast-like roar, his will to survive completely overpowering his fear.

He stopped passively defending and instead slammed the tower shield into the ground, gripped the edge of the shield with both hands, and with all his might, he swung it forward!

boom!

He forcefully pried up a large section of shattered concrete, turning it into a collapsing wall that crashed forward!

This unexpected move instantly disrupted the opponent's attack rhythm.

The rain of arrows paused briefly.

It's now!

Instead of taking a breather, Zhao Hu raised the tower shield back in front of him and charged forward again with unwavering determination!

He didn't know what Chen Yifan was trying to do.

All he knew was that he had to survive!

Only by surviving can we have the chance to pin that bastard who has his face on us to the ground and beat him up!

His fearless and insane attitude even made Thor, who was watching from a distance, nod in approval.

"It's a good shield."

The burly man with two axes beside him also sincerely praised him.

He was able to charge so far alone, braving the concentrated fire of a full-strength elite squad.

This strength and courage are enough to earn the respect of any warrior.

"Unfortunately, he's not very bright," Caitlin added calmly.

In her view, Zhao Hu's behavior was tantamount to suicide.

Thor did not refute this.

He simply raised his hand, and in his palm, lightning spread and coalesced like a spider web.

"Get ready to act."

His voice was cold and unquestionable.

Now that the big guy has successfully drawn all the firepower and disrupted the enemy's formation.

Now, it's time for him, the "hunter," to enter the fray and reap the rewards!

"yes!"

His teammates behind him responded in unison, their eyes burning with a bloodthirsty fighting spirit.

A true bloody battle is about to begin.

And at this moment, on the very edge of the battlefield.

Chen Yifan's figure had already silently crept up to the foot of the building where Onizuka Ryuichi was.

He looked up at the silent, colossal building.

The corners of his mouth slowly curved into a cold arc.

"I've found you."
