Yan Biqing hummed lightly, nimbly leaping several meters into the air, evading the serpentine attack and advancing towards Gong Baoding.
But before she could get close, she abruptly retreated. A ring of fire had appeared around Gong Baoding.
Approaching rashly, even Yan Biqing would be injured.
Gong Baoding’s physical capabilities weren’t strong, so he used this method to protect himself and focus on offense.
Countless streams of flame erupted, twisting into searing tongues that writhed and charged at Yan Biqing.
His ability was simple: the manipulation of fire. But the simpler the ability, the more potent it could be.
The sheer momentum of Gong Baoding’s full control over the flames was more terrifying than that of many superhumans at the Assimilation realm.
Mr. L had chosen to deal with Gong Baoding first precisely because of his abilities.
Against powerful opponents, Gong Baoding’s abilities might not be outstanding, but when dealing with minions, he was unstoppable.
With him around, ordinary monsters, though not weak, wouldn’t take long to be annihilated by him alone!
Compared to Wen Wen’s acidic serpent, Gong Baoding was much more difficult to handle.
After all, he had been hovering at the edge of mastery for so many years; his combat experience alone was something Wen Wen couldn’t match.
Wen Wen floated back, watching Yan Biqing hop around like a flea. He spread his hands, reaching out towards Yan Biqing.
He activated the ability of the malevolent spirit, the Illusion Maze, also known as the "Ghost Walk"!
In Yan Biqing’s eyes, the previously clear trajectories of the flames suddenly blurred. It became difficult to determine from which direction the fire would attack.
In moments, she was struck by several streams of flame.
However, soon, with a flash of green light from her body, she figured out how to maintain maximum clarity within the "Ghost Walk." Though still strenuous, she had adapted completely.
Seeing this, Wen Wen smiled slightly and snapped his fingers, his mental shockwave ready.
As Gong Baoding unleashed a fireball the size of a millstone, Wen Wen’s eyes widened, and he fired his mental shockwave. Yan Biqing froze in place.
When she regained consciousness, the fireball was already in front of her; she couldn't dodge it!
Watching the flames explode, Gong Baoding gave Wen Wen a thumbs-up.
He knew how troublesome Yan Biqing was. And in their joint combat, they had so easily gained the upper hand.
Two superhumans at the Mastery realm fighting one at the Assimilation realm, and maintaining an advantage—it was practically a miracle.
Although he didn’t even know what Wen Wen’s ability was, it was clear that Yan Biqing was repeatedly hit by Gong Baoding because of Wen Wen.
No wonder that person had asked him to capture Yan Biqing together with this containment specialist.
As the flames dispersed, Yan Biqing had turned into a human torch. In that instant, she had shifted all her attributes to her skin’s heat resistance.
Yet, she hadn’t completely defended herself. The skin of a normal human, no matter how enhanced, would still be scorched by fire.
She didn’t rush to extinguish the flames on her body but instead stared at Wen Wen.
This ghost-like superhuman, like the speed-type superhumans encountered before, possessed the ability to disrupt him.
If Wen Wen wasn’t dealt with first, she wouldn’t be able to win this fight!
Having decided this, she ignored the flames on her body and lunged forward.
Mere physical reinforcement couldn't harm a ghost, but Yan Biqing was now carrying Gong Baoding’s flames!
Before Wen Wen could react, Yan Biqing was already upon him, embracing him directly!
As a consequence of possessing more potent physical attack capabilities than a vengeful spirit, a malevolent spirit was also more susceptible to the attacks of other entities.
Furthermore, without resorting to his vampire physique, Wen Wen simply couldn't keep up with Yan Biqing’s movements!
Yan Biqing held Wen Wen, transferring all the flames onto him, and then violently hurled Wen Wen’s body away.
After landing, Wen Wen’s aura grew progressively weaker, and then he vanished entirely.
Yan Biqing nodded. This guy, who resembled a malevolent spirit, had met a demise akin to a ghost.
Gong Baoding nearly dropped his jaw. He had just mentally praised this as a good teammate, and in the blink of an eye, the good teammate was instantly killed?
Now, he could only face Yan Biqing alone.
Yan Biqing was now devoid of any clothing, her skin scorched black, but she was still agile, completely unaffected.
Her body data was digitized, allowing perfect control. Under her manipulation, the burns on her skin could no longer impede her combat ability!
The accumulated injuries on her body now would be enough to kill several ordinary people, but she was still using her abilities to maintain a delicate balance.
“Only you remain. If I were to eliminate you, it would come at a great cost, but I could eventually succeed, and you would die. If you are willing to leave on your own, I will not act against you.”
Yan Biqing persuaded Gong Baoding. She had already decided to leave Furonghe City; if she stayed any longer, she would surely perish.
Gong Baoding remained silent. Yan Biqing was right; his abilities, while troublesome, were still insufficient to defeat her.
But he wouldn't choose to retreat. This was the first mission he had received from the containment facility, and he couldn’t fail it like this.
Another containment specialist had already died. If he abandoned the mission unscathed, he didn’t know what punishment he would face.
Unnoticed by anyone, a fat rat was furtively hiding in a corner, its bean-like eyes observing the battle.
Its本体 was within the containment facility, observing through the rat.
This rat was a puppet manufactured by Xu Hai at Wen Wen’s behest. Two were made in total; one was dispatched to the rooftop of the Kewei Building to emit the aura of a cataclysm-level superhuman, drawing away the Hunter Association members.
The other was here, observing the situation.
After the regrettable sacrifice of the bride puppet last time, Wen Wen realized the importance of stocking up on puppets, so he quickly had Xu Hai create rat puppets.
Due to time constraints, only two had been completed.
If Gong Baoding couldn’t deal with Yan Biqing, Wen Wen would have this rat approach Yan Biqing and launch a suicide attack, which would definitely kill her.
If the external interception failed, Wen Wen would also immediately kill Yan Biqing.
As long as the force was controlled, no one other than Yan Biqing would be harmed.
However, Wen Wen still intended to capture Yan Biqing, so he hadn’t used this tactic yet. It was still time to use it if the situation became truly dire.
Gong Baoding’s abilities were truly spectacular; the towering flames could not be concealed.
Ding Mingguang, who was keeping watch outside, shivered upon seeing the fiery glow.
I told him to be careful, how did he get into a fight with Yan Biqing?
That old man was usually so steady; he couldn’t be this reckless.
Could it be an accidental encounter?
Ding Mingguang pondered for a moment, then decided to block the signals in this area.
Since Uncle Gong had made his move, he might have the confidence to capture Yan Biqing, so he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
After completing the signal block, Ding Mingguang sprinted deeper into the amusement park. He had placed a hidden marker on Yan Biqing, which might assist Gong Baoding.
