Chapter 1898: Chapter 1898: Breakdown (Fourth Update)

After confirming that Zhao Ye had been attacked, the crowd around him finally put away those "caring-for-the-retarded" looks.

In everyone’s eyes, sharp light exploded at once!

At the same time, their hearts were filled with shock.

Someone invisible?

Greedy light flared up all of a sudden as well.

After all, they weren’t country bumpkins who’d never seen the world.

Even though they hadn’t seen this kind of trick before, they knew exactly what it meant.

A treasure!

"Guard Commander, I’m coming!" someone growled low, pouncing toward Zhao Ye.

"Exact position!" that person shouted.

"Seven inches below my chest!" Zhao Ye said.

Hearing this voice, Zhang Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This couldn’t go on.

After all, right now, the Inner Strength in his body was almost completely used up.

And he still couldn’t manage to gather Inner Strength in his head.

Because he’d only just stepped into Dark Force not long ago.

And Inner Strength, if mishandled inside the body, could harm himself.

So at this moment, Zhang Fan could only choose to dodge.

Zhang Fan’s left hand was no longer wrapped tightly around Zhao Ye; he pressed it on Zhao Ye’s chest and exploded with all his Strength.

After all, right now Zhao Ye’s hands were still in the posture of trying to pull Zhang Fan away from himself.

In this state, Zhang Fan pretty much met no resistance and slipped straight out of Zhao Ye’s arms.

"Daddy doesn’t love you anymore, bye!" Zhang Fan chuckled softly.

Stepping on Butterfly Dance, Zhang Fan rapidly pulled away.

"Healing!"

Zhang Fan immediately activated the Healing Function as well.

Having your internal organs injured really felt awful.

If Zhang Fan hadn’t long since gotten used to pain, just this level of injury would’ve made him completely useless.

At this moment, streaks of white light flashed by.

Poison Spider, going all-out alone, smashed a fist wreathed in Inner Strength Sword Light straight into Zhao Ye’s chest.

"Pfft!"

Zhao Ye spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

From his chest came an extremely crisp sound as well.

His bone cracked!

No doubt about it!

"Motherfucking retard, you dumbass."

Zhao Ye skipped all the formalities and started spraying curses directly.

The guy already ran, and you still smash me, you fucker?

Right now Zhao Ye really wanted to kill someone.

I called you just now, you played dead; now you finally show up—trying to get me killed?

Landing on the ground, Zhao Ye directly took out a bottle of Healing Pills, crushed the bottle, and grabbed a big handful of Pills to stuff into his mouth.

This was pretty much the worst injury he’d taken in the last five years.

Clutching his chest, he growled, "Get to me, protect me!"

At this moment, Zhao Ye was genuinely panicking.

Up to now, he still didn’t know who his enemy was, how many there were, or what level of strength they had!

In a battle, that was a very dangerous sign.

So now, he needed protection.

Face and dignity? In front of his dog life, to hell with that shit!

Very quickly, eight people rushed to Zhao Ye’s side, forming a ring around him, shielding him in the middle.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan couldn’t help but sigh in regret.

When Zhao Ye grabbed him just now, because of the restriction, he’d had absolutely no way to pierce Zhao Ye’s heart.

Otherwise, Zhao Ye would’ve been a corpse already.

And now Zhao Ye was like a turtle in its shell; assassinating him was no longer possible.

Taking a few deep breaths, Zhang Fan’s gaze began to roam.

Fine, hit the others first.

Even if he couldn’t kill them, stopping them from chasing Li Yu and the others would already be great.

Besides, Genetic Transformation only lasted for half an hour, and after half an hour they would enter a weakened phase.

When that time came, heh heh...

Just at that instant, Zhao Ye’s voice rang out as well.

"Hold your breath, don’t move. Watch the surroundings. If there’s any movement, go up and kill immediately. That guy’s strength definitely hasn’t reached Gang Qi Level. Even if he can hide his body, there’s nothing to fear!

Also, he’s badly injured. Watch the bloodstains on the ground.

And, twenty people cancel your Genetic Transformation state, thirty protect! The rest, pursue and kill!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fan’s eyes tightened again.

This guy Zhao Ye was actually pretty damn scary.

Even while this heavily injured, he could still clearly analyze the current situation—really impressive.

But right after, the corner of Zhang Fan’s mouth curled into a cold smile.

Bloodstains?

Sorry, I can pop back to full HP!

Zhang Fan stood where he was, not moving.

He still had over a hundred bottles of Invisibility Potion in his storage.

Ten minutes a bottle, over a thousand minutes—we can slow-play this all night.

Plus, he had enough food stored up for a whole crowd.

And a big handful of Spiritual Value.

Whoever chickens out is the grandson.

He had all the time in the world; let’s see who outlasts who!

Aside from the Inner Strength in his body, he could keep himself at Peak state any time.

So he’d just wait for an opening; once there was a chance, he’d strike immediately.

That was his greatest advantage!

Just like that, Zhang Fan and Poison Spider’s people all stood in place, motionless.

Zhang Fan’s side was feeling quite at ease.

Poison Spider’s side was another story.

Facing an invisible enemy, everyone’s nerves were stretched to the limit.

You could say nobody even dared blink!

The atmosphere hit peak awkwardness!

Meanwhile, about a kilometer away, Che Hou’s group, who were sitting on the ground calmly waiting for death, felt that something was off.

It’d already been a few minutes, and Poison Spider’s people still hadn’t caught up?

That didn’t make sense!

With Poison Spider mobilizing a force this big, they’d just let them go?

Absolutely impossible!

Could something unexpected have happened?

In that instant, Che Hou and the others started thinking.

"Gu Ying, it’s been so long—could it be that Zhang Fan’s holding them off?" Che Hou asked.

Gu Ying shook her head. "How would I know."

Another five minutes passed, and Che Hou couldn’t sit still anymore.

"I think something major happened. With that many Genetic Warriors, Zhang Fan can’t possibly stall all of them.

Poison Spider’s people shouldn’t be taking this long to catch us."

"Could it be that Poison Spider’s people are all dead? Otherwise it doesn’t make sense," someone said.

"How about we go back and take a look?" someone suggested.

"Damn, are you crazy? You still dare go out?" another stared wide-eyed and said.

"Heh, what’s there to be afraid of? If Poison Spider’s people are still alive, we’re dead anyway," that person sneered.

Hearing this, Che Hou’s eyes flickered uncertainly.

"I think going back to take a look is the right call. You know we’re only about a kilometer away right now. We’re dead either way, so we might as well die understanding what happened," Che Hou said.

"Yeah, if we’re gonna die, at least die clear about it," the others chimed in as well.

Right after, Che Hou and his group stood up and ran quickly in Zhang Fan’s direction.

"Sha, sha, sha!"

The footsteps of more than a hundred people were anything but quiet in the ears of Zhao Ye’s group.

Countless pairs of eyes locked onto Che Hou’s direction.

A minute later, when Che Hou and the others saw Zhao Ye’s group standing there motionless—

In an instant, the sound of people dropping to their knees echoed nonstop!

Looking at all those people in Genetic Transformation state, Che Hou and his group’s inner worlds completely collapsed!
