Once they tangled together, Liang truly realized how terrifying this person before him was.

Previously, he had only heard from Duan and Cai Tou about how strange and difficult this person was, even Sister Hua had suffered, but that was just hearsay.

They were all two Type A Neo-Humans and one Type C Neo-Human, how far could the strength difference be?

Sister Hua failed, and they still didn't know how. Bad luck, negligence, anything was possible.

He just needed to be a little more cautious and go all out.

But when he actually fought, he discovered that the person before him was far beyond his full effort could handle.

He was always on the back foot.

Every punch and kick from this person was overwhelmingly heavy, making it hard to bear.

Liang even had an inexplicable feeling that in front of this Type A Neo-Human, he was as weak as an ordinary person.

And that's despite being under Duan's ability augmentation!

How could this person in front of him be so at ease?!

Liang watched Lu Xi'an's calm expression, clear eyes, and face without any unusualness—no bulging veins, no changes in complexion, yet he could exert such tremendous power. How was he doing it?

He absolutely did not believe that Lu Xi'an didn't have a Type C Neo-Human behind him, it was simply impossible.

In battles between Type A Neo-Humans, whether or not there's a Type C Neo-Human behind them makes a difference like heaven and earth. They had practiced enough to know.

Liang could only think that this group must have some extraordinary skill, for instance, perhaps the Type C Neo-Human behind this person was stronger than Duan.

That's why this person's power increase was so formidable, yet didn't show on his face.

Damn it, why was Duan so useless?!

"Duan, put in more effort!"

Unable to hold back, Liang shouted at the top of his lungs.

"No need for you to say!"

Duan spoke from behind Cai Tou, his voice muffled because he was wrapped in a blanket.

Cai Tou hadn't made a move, thinking about providing support from the side while preventing that woman who hadn't appeared from a sneak attack.

After all, their task was to hold this person back, not to fight to the death.

After receiving Duan's response, Liang's face turned red, his eyes bulged, and veins popped on his forehead.

He felt his strength instantly soar, and his confidence surged with it. With a loud shout of "Hah!", he twisted his waist, swung his arm, and fiercely punched towards the face of the person before him.

This punch was many times faster than before, even he found it terrifying. Even if it had been him, he might not have been able to dodge such a punch.

Yet, the person in front of him dodged it, only grazing his cheek, causing a slight scratch.

And after dodging, he even threw something back.

Its speed was equally fast, and Liang's momentum was spent, he couldn't dodge, so he slightly tilted his head, then felt a pain in his ear, followed by a throbbing ache.

He quickly retreated, glancing sideways, and saw it was some kind of unknown tube.

The tube still had a needle attached, which had pierced through his ear.

He gritted his teeth, pulled out the tube and threw it away, seeing Kakarot advancing again. He didn't want to get tangled, repeatedly retreated, all the while taking out a bottle, pouring a little water on his finger, and applying it to his ear.

The water was Fungus Stone Soaked Water, with excellent healing effects.

He had used it up before, but now getting off the van, he brought another bottle, yet was hesitant to use too much.

Fortunately, the needle-sized wound didn't require much water, so he only poured a little.

It was only because of Duan stimulating his blood flow that even a small wound was bleeding profusely, otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to waste even a drop of water.

Having treated his ear, he tucked the bottle back, ready to face Lu Xi'an again, only to see Ka suddenly throw several smooth oval stones at him.

Previously, they were launched individually with precise aim, but this time, it was like a shotgun blast.

Liang could dodge one or two, but not all, and suddenly found himself hit in several places. Some opened up his skin, some seemed to cause internal injuries, others directly hit his bones, making him feel as if they were about to crack.

Grimacing with pain, Ka followed up quickly after the stones, forcing Liang to defend desperately, pain be damned.

Duan was pushing his potential to the limit, and he felt he could hold his own with Ka.

But the problem was that Ka fought without chivalry; initially fine, now disgracing himself, throwing a stone one moment, then a wrench the next.

Even batteries, screwdrivers, blades, pens...

Damn it, are these things meant to be used this way?!

How wealthy must they be to throw around so many things so randomly?!

The more they fought, the more passive Liang became, gradually finding it hard to fend off.

Luckily, Ka's attacks, while troublesome, weren't fatal to him.

With Duan there, the gap between him and Ka wasn't at the life-threatening level.

It's just that the fight felt increasingly disgusting.

"Damn, how much more stuff do you have?!"

Dodging a pen once more, Liang collided fists with Lu Xi'an, face contorted in rage, and couldn't help roaring.

"No more, that's all there was."

Lu Xi'an said, but then threw over a battery.

The battery was more explosive than a grenade in Lu Xi'an's hands.

The tip of the battery aimed straight at Liang's face, targeting his eyes.

Liang was shocked and quickly leaned his head back, the battery grazing past his nose.

"Sss..."

His nose was injured.

Damn it, I'd be a fool to believe you!

Liang wasn't ready for Lu Xi'an's follow-up attack, and as his head leaned back, Lu Xi'an's fist hit him square in the chest, sending him flying and rolling several times on the ground.

Damn, it hurts!

Lu Xi'an's fist is really heavy, Liang almost couldn't breathe.

But he didn't dare to slack off, no matter how much his body hurt, how tight his chest felt, he quickly got up.

As he used his hand to push himself off the ground, he accidentally touched a stone.

He immediately grabbed the stone, and before he was fully stable on his feet, he flung the stone towards Lu Xi'an.

"You come at me, I come at you!"

Liang shouted.

So the battle quickly changed form, the two Type A Neo-Humans kept their distance from each other, neither getting close, just fiercely throwing things at each other and dodging what was thrown.

Once they ran out of things to throw, they'd pick up from the ground.

Pick up and throw, throw and pick up, pick up and throw again, throw and pick up again...

It turned a good battle into a dodgeball game.

However, this dodgeball game wasn't something ordinary people could play, the two people kept their distance and threw all sorts of things with a "whoosh" sound as they cut through the air.

The whistling hidden weapons made one's scalp tingle just hearing them, Duan poked his head out from the blanket and took a look, only to feel like the two were throwing air, the thrown items were invisible.

And it wasn't just the items in their hands, their dodging speed was incredibly fast, their bodies almost becoming two phantom images.

Being a Type C Neo-Human, Duan's eyes couldn't keep up.

"Can you see clearly?"

He couldn't help but ask Cai Tou.

"Still okay."

Cai Tou replied.

Duan clicked his tongue, envying the Type A Neo-Humans to the extreme; their bodies are truly powerful!

Cai Tou suddenly said, "You definitely can't withdraw your ability now. They're fighting so fiercely, if you withdraw it, he's done for."

"I know."

Duan responded, then added, "Hang in there a bit longer."

Cai Tou said, "Yeah, hang in there longer, and when the boss arrives, the swarm of ants will overwhelm him, no matter how strong he is.

"That woman and their Type C Neo-Humans are still hiding. Hiding won't save them! The ants will eventually eat them alive!"

Duan couldn't help but smile too, as if seeing the imminent cruel scene.

They all seemed to have immense trust in the boss, Xuan Xiaocao's ability, or rather the ants she had tamed.

Just like them, Liang in the battle also had such trust.

Liang was gradually struggling to hold on.

Relying on the pheromones of the Type C Neo-Human to exhaust his strength continuously left him feeling like he couldn't last, about to collapse.

But he had to grit his teeth and hang in there, feeling like he could still pull through for a while.

Just hang in there until the boss arrives, and see how arrogant you can be!

Calculating the distance, the boss should be arriving soon!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

The hidden weapons flew like arrows, creating a terrifying cacophony of endless ammunition.

The furious wind couldn't cease their fierce mutual attacks despite the piercing cold and icy world.

The only thing that could change the battle was indeed arriving.

Xuan Xiaocao and her partner stepped forward, body to body.

They had seen the battlefield but didn't approach rashly.

The two were now invisible.

Xuan Xiaocao's partner was a Type D Neo-Human, already skilled in abilities, expert at invisibility, shielding both himself and Xuan Xiaocao without leaving a trace.

"No..."

He opened his mouth wanting to ask, "Isn't it supposed to be two people, why is another one not visible?"

But before he could speak, Xuan Xiaocao silenced him with a glare.

He closed his mouth hesitantly, knowing he made a mistake and could accidentally draw the enemy's attention, shrinking his neck nervously.

"How about we pause and rest?"

On the other side, Liang seemed truly struggling, speaking up.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xi'an agreed, saying, "Alright."

"Then let's back off and pause."

Liang added.

The two seemingly agreed, each retreating and stopping their attacks.

At this moment, Xuan Xiaocao had already opened the four bottles hanging at her waist.

Her partner also had four, all opened.

The bottles weren't small, filled with dense, packed things that stirred one's fear of density just looking at them.

Once the bottle mouths were opened, those dense things were eager to leap out.

But without Xuan Xiaocao's command, they didn't come out yet.

Xuan Xiaocao prepared to use pheromones to order the Ant Queen, seeing the two paused in battle, her gaze involuntarily drifting to the enemy.

That glance made her eyes brighten, heart beat faster, suddenly making her partner feel less charming.
