"How is that possible!"


    "Gang Qi?!"


    Tao Yu casually dodged three attacks with the ease of a Crane stepping through a garden, not even his breathing rhythm was disturbed.


    That sudden emergence of Gang Qi indeed caused the faces of the black and white wild boar men who came to kill him to twist.


    How could what was supposed to be a foolproof operation turn out like this?!


    No wonder, no wonder he dared to venture out of the city alone so carelessly!


    He had actually mastered Gang Qi!


    In the entire Development Zone of the Inner City Pioneers, not a single one had mastered Gang Qi yet!


    The difficulty of this was even higher than that of the transformation side!


    "Damn it!"


    Panda didn’t hesitate at all, slapping his own neck as he charged over.


    The injection instantly pierced his neck, and the medicine took effect at the fastest speed.


    "Roar!"


    The wild boar man, who had already swelled to over three meters tall with muscles bulging, expanded another half meter the next moment.


    His originally white skin, like granite, seemed to have been scorched red by fire, emanating white steam all over.


    Several streaks of Battle Techniques enhancements flickered on his body. Despite his increased size, his speed surged once again!


    As he ran, the ground seemed to tremble, and his brutal strength combined with his massive size brought a sense of extreme oppression.


    A strong stench of sweat hit Tao Yu’s face, making him frown.


    He casually raised his hand to block the axe chop coming from above, using the energy of Great Shift of Qiankun without opting for a head-on collision.


    With just a flick of his hand and a sidestep, he moved lightly to the side, pulling down with his wrist, using the opponent’s momentum and downward force to lead it along.


    As Tao Yu stepped on the Gobi beneath him, causing it to crack and sink, the towering beast was flung into the air, spinning more than a dozen times before crashing heavily to the ground.


    After landing, it rolled over several times, kicking up a cloud of dust in the Gobi.


    Having thrown his opponent off with that force, Tao Yu slightly tilted his head and clamped his hand in the air, catching a bullet.


    Turning to look at the black wild boar man who had gotten out of the car and was frantically shooting at him, he flicked his hand in return.


    Thwack~


    The bristly pig’s eye burst, blood spurted, and the brain was churned into mush by the bullet. Following the inertia of his sprint, he continued for two more steps before collapsing in a bloody heap.


    At this moment, Panda, who was still reeling from being thrown, managed to get up, holding his head and staring at Tao Yu in complete shock.


    The white boar man, who had already grown fearful, showed a look of shock and despair on his face upon seeing the slowly descending figure.


    Tao Yu also recognized the identity of the newcomer!


    Han Ya could be considered one of the Floating City descendants directly related to the Suns, currently in charge of the base’s external affairs and starting to take over some of the map-running tasks from the brother and sister team.


    Among the three later Floating City Pioneers directly related to the Suns, he vaguely had a leading position. Panda estimated his strength might be comparable to Cite’s.


    "So it’s Lord Han Ya, I must have misunderstood just now, my sincere apologies."


    Having recognized the other party, Tao Yu bowed slightly to show his apology.


    However, deep inside he was filled with intense caution.


    Damn it!


    As a direct descendant of the Suns, secretly following him, watching coldly as he was attacked, and just now even revealing murderous intent!


    This guy is not one of us!


    "I was just out on patrol and sensed something amiss here, so I came to check it out. I certainly didn’t expect to see such an interesting show."


    Han Ya landed from the air, casually tossed the spear, and it pierced through the white boar man’s thigh, pinning him firmly to the ground.


    After being pinned down, the white boar man didn’t dare to cry out, only letting out a muffled grunt before miserably saying,


    "Lord Han Ya, it’s all my fault, I’m willing to accept punishment. Please spare my life; I am ready to atone for my sins."


    Caught red-handed by a prominent figure of Floating City while attempting an assassination, and especially against a direct descendant of the opposing side, he didn’t dare argue and could only show that he still had value to offer.


    Some things can be done but must not be found out. Once the situation is blown, it could implicate the entire family!


    "You certainly deserve to die."


    Han Ya’s tone was gentle, but he looked at the pinned boar man with the cold indifference one might reserve for livestock.


    "Such a waste, taking up so much of your family’s resources, having such talent, implanted with that kind of bloodline, yet you couldn’t suppress an Outsider, heh~, and you talk about value."


    His words carried a dismissive and mocking tone.


    While these words reached both Tao Yu and Perry’s ears, they also got completely different implications from them.


    Perry, who had thought the situation was hopeless, suddenly saw a glimmer of light in his eyes, realizing that things were not as he had thought!


    "Does this mean... he attacked us on the way, killed my brother, and wounded me! You discovered it and stopped it... oh no no no, it was my desperate counter-kill! You were just slightly late in arriving!"


    More and more excited, Perry grinned with a broken fang, looking ferociously triumphant.


    Seeing that Han Ya remained noncommittal, busying himself with his nails, Perry chuckled menacingly, pulled the propulsive spear from his wound, and rose to his feet again.


    At that moment, his eyes looking at Tao Yu also reflected a hint of pity.


    "Kid, you dared to offend Lord Han Ya, haha! Today, you’ve carved your own path to death!"
