A faint sound from outside the door.
Gu Fei's heart sank instantly: 'Are those bad people coming up?'
Lü Suran, however, wore an expression of anticipation:
"Is Lin Lang back?"
In the next second! Tang Lingyu grabbed Gu Fei and Lü Suran's shoulders and activated her "teleportation" ability! Their vision flickered! They suddenly found themselves in room 2102!
Bang! At the same time!
The door to room 2202 upstairs was violently kicked open!
Several people rushed in! Bursting into each room: "No one here?"
"Search carefully!"
"Damn it! Can't find anyone!"
"This small place, where could they hide?"
"Can't find them, go report to the authorities!"
...
From start to finish.
The three women kept their ears perked up, not daring to breathe.
It wasn't until the noise upstairs completely disappeared that they finally let out a sigh of relief.
Lü Suran's face was pale, clearly frightened.
She trembled as she took out a small white pill bottle from her pocket, poured out a pill, and put it in her mouth.
Gu Fei gently patted Lü Suran's back while asking Tang Lingyu, "How did you know the visitors weren't Lin Lang?"
Tang Lingyu simply said, "I don't know, but we can't take that risk right now."
Gu Fei nodded in agreement.
Indeed, they couldn't take that risk.
If the person who came was Lin Lang, they could return at any time.
But if it wasn't, then they would be in trouble.
After taking the pill, Lü Suran's complexion improved significantly, but she couldn't help but murmur, "When will Lin Lang come back..."
Gu Fei and Tang Lingyu both said:
"He will come back..."
Clearly, Lin Lang had never shown his strength in front of them.
Yet in their hearts, they inexplicably felt this emotion—
Lin Lang is omnipotent! As long as he is here, there is nothing to worry about!
Perhaps, this is a woman's sixth sense?
At that moment.
A sinister laugh came from behind them:
"Hehe, found you!"
They turned around in shock!
They saw a man's head poking through the ceiling, staring at them intently.
"Ah—"
The scene was too horrifying.
So much so that Lü Suran instinctively screamed!
But the man's figure flickered and became ethereal.
As if walking in water.
He emerged from the concrete ceiling and lightly landed on the ground.
Gu Fei's gaze darkened, and with a flick of her finger! A sharp branch instantly shot in from the window, aiming for the man's back! The attack was fierce!
The power was considerable!
This was already a mature killing move!
But the man's figure flickered again, seemingly becoming as insubstantial as air!
The branch passed straight through his body! He was unharmed!
Seeing this!
Tang Lingyu realized the situation was dire.
So she teleported Gu Fei and Lü Suran to the next floor! But! That ghostly man, whose body could become ethereal, relentlessly followed them! Tang Lingyu teleported more than a dozen times! From the 22nd floor all the way down to the 7th floor! During this time, there were also random jumps up, down, left, and right! But that ethereal man could always pinpoint her location!
It was as if he had GPS installed on her!
Finally!
Tang Lingyu's stamina began to wane—
If she were teleporting alone, perhaps she could hold on a little longer.
But she had been carrying Gu Fei and Lü Suran with her.
Three people teleporting.
The stamina consumed was more than three times the usual amount.
Gu Fei gradually realized this.
So, when beads of sweat appeared on Tang Lingyu's forehead, she said:
"You take Su Ran and go! I'll stay behind and fight him!"
Lü Suran also said with concern: "Lingyu (older sister), if this continues, none of us will be able to escape! You go first, I'll stay with Gu Fei!"
Tang Lingyu, however, said: "No way."
She could never abandon the two of them.
The reason was simple—
If Lin Lang returned, she couldn't explain herself.
"In a fight, you two are no match for me."
Her figure flickered and appeared behind the ethereal man.
Using the moves she learned online, she launched an attack! Unfortunately! The ethereal man's body was insubstantial.
This strike missed!
No matter how cleverly she attacked afterward! Once the ethereal man entered his ethereal state, he was like air! She couldn't touch him at all! Yet he could counterattack with a punch! It came down like a hammer!
The immense force pushed Tang Lingyu back several steps! She couldn't hit him!
But he could hit her! Tang Lingyu's heart sank, inevitably feeling a sense of despair in the current situation!
The ethereal man pushed Tang Lingyu back with a punch but did not stop there!
He charged forward!
Another flurry of punches was thrown!
In terms of skill!
The ethereal man might not be as good as Tang Lingyu, who had awakened her "spiritual combat" ability.
But relying solely on his brute strength and fearlessness of injury, he attacked like a madman! Tang Lingyu was exhausted from defending and could only keep retreating!
Gu Fei was anxious! She wished she could rush in to help!
But she wasn't good at close combat; going in would only complicate things.
"Gu Fei!"
At that moment, Lü Suran tugged at Gu Fei's sleeve and whispered:
"His ethereal ability consumes a lot of energy! The more attacks he dodges while in that state, the greater the consumption!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Fei pondered: So, as long as Tang Lingyu keeps this up, she will eventually exhaust his stamina?
Then they could defeat him? But.
The current state of the ethereal man was clearly stronger than Tang Lingyu!
Could she hold on until then?
Or perhaps...
Suddenly, Gu Fei's eyes lit up! 'The more attacks he dodges, the greater the consumption? Then let's accelerate his exhaustion!'
Immediately!
She focused her mind and activated her Wood Spirit Ability! The tree outside, revered as the "Divine Tree" by The Light of Righteousness, suddenly twisted and extended its branches!
Then all at once, they surged into the small room!
Swish, swish, swish—
But those branches still passed through the ethereal man! "Give up! You can't hurt me!"
The ethereal man looked disdainful.
But Gu Fei paid no mind.
With a determined expression, she continued to summon branches! Even though her face turned pale from the intense concentration! With her level of "Spirit Wood" ability, she couldn't control so many plants at once!
Moreover!
While controlling the branches to attack the ethereal man, she also had to maneuver them to avoid interfering with Tang Lingyu's movements!
This required an extremely high level of focus! Gradually! The ethereal man went from completely ignoring her to having to dodge! Because when he attacked Tang Lingyu, he also needed to release his ethereal state! And those branches would take that opportunity to attack him!
Finally!
One branch cut through the ethereal man's arm! Leaving a trail of blood! This gave Gu Fei a glimmer of hope! More and more branches surged into the room! Rushing in all directions!
Blocking him from all sides! Completely sealing off the ethereal man's escape! If he didn't use his ethereal ability, he would be unable to move an inch!
So he had to maintain his ethereal state at all times! "Not good!"
The ethereal man felt the energy within him rapidly depleting! He became even more desperate to defeat Tang Lingyu!
But at this moment, Tang Lingyu also sensed the change.
She simply dodged, no longer confronting him head-on.
As time passed.
The ethereal man increasingly felt his movements were heavily obstructed, becoming sluggish!
It was like walking in water! Every move was overcoming tremendous resistance! Suddenly!
Lü Suran shouted: "He wants to escape!"
Gu Fei furrowed her brows.
Unwilling to let the tiger return to the mountain, she summoned even more branches!
But she also knew.
This was futile.
That ethereal ability was too abnormal!
As long as he wanted to leave.
No one could stop him!
Seeing the ethereal man's body gradually sinking, his legs disappearing beneath the floor.
Gu Fei knew there was no way to stop him.
But the next moment! A dragon's roar and tiger's howl echoed in the ethereal man's mind! He froze in place, motionless! His body also exited the ethereal state! This meant his legs were "fused" with the floor! And then!
A slender branch, like an indestructible spear, pierced directly through his Superpower Core at the dantian! This branch emitted a faint glow.
It seemed to be sucking the power from the ethereal man's Superpower Core! And the Superpower Core gradually dimmed...
Before long!
The ethereal man's Superpower Core extinguished.
This meant he was completely dead.
And those branches seemed to have a life of their own, quietly retreating out the window.
The space suddenly became spacious.
Only the ethereal man's corpse remained, his legs sunk into the floor, his upper body sprawled on the ground.
The three women were still in a daze.
But then they saw a tall, well-proportioned figure stepping onto a branch.
Like a deity walking on a bridge of clouds.
He stepped into the room from the window, one step at a time.
Behind him was a radiant light.
"Lin Lang!"
"You finally came back!"
The three women focused their gaze and saw the man they had been longing for!
And they all rushed towards him! "Yes, I'm back."
Lin Lang smiled slightly as he embraced the three women.
But his gaze turned towards the door.
Noticing someone was rushing over here...
"Where have you been?"
"Why did it take you so long to come back?"
They kept asking.
Lin Lang, however, said:
"Don't rush, it's not the time for reminiscing..."
Now is the time for killing.
