Hong's Battle Banner in her hand swept towards the gunpoint, her waist twisted, her footsteps whirled to the right, and her body leaned back in an exaggerated arc. A flip of her wrist, and the silvery-white spear tip plunging towards her was entirely caught within the banner, entangled within.

Under Hong's guidance, the fluttering banner moved like a red fish, using softness to overcome hardness, dissipating much of the spear's power as it pierced into the nearby wall.

"Angelina." Hong's leaned-back waist straightened, and the pole wrapped with swirling patterns rotated in her palm, causing the fluttering banner to sway with it.

"Haven't you always wanted to get rid of me?" Angelina's tone was cold as the Abyssal White Flower deeply embedded in the wall trembled intensely and flew back to her side.

She never thought this attack could land solidly on the girl. From any angle, her opponent was a bona fide monster. As a Battle Banner Master with a support function, she didn't even need to rely on a Divine Gift to suppress her directly; during their first encounter, the other led the Special Sixth Class into a desperate situation against her.

"Now I am right in front of you. If you have the capability, then chase after me."

She turned and ran into the rain. Hong did not hesitate, leaving a message for her companions before swiftly chasing after her.

...

Boom!

Their hiding place was destroyed again as the explosion's fiery glow burst out like a giant lion engulfed in flames, its massive body occupying the entire corridor, the arched back reaching the ceiling. Angel statues, priceless paintings, and gold-dust-covered peacock green wallpaper were all consumed in the fire.

Bai Zhou grabbed Yun Yao, and the two struggled down the corridor, covered in soot and grime. They couldn't reach their companions, neither Uncle Hei nor the section chief, and an inexplicable anxiety began to swell in Bai Zhou's heart. With his physical capabilities, he shouldn't be this disheveled, but the girl behind him couldn't keep up.

For bullets of that caliber from a sniper rifle, unless they broke his limb directly or pierced his neck, with his healing ability, he could completely recover under the extreme blood-burning state in less than ten seconds. Even if his limbs were broken, they would regrow in half a month, much like a lizard sacrificing its tail.

With Yun Yao's physical condition, perhaps a single bullet wound would be lethal for her.

"Bai Zhou, am I a big problem, dragging everyone down?" Yun Yao said, her voice breaking.

Bai Zhou was speechless, thinking what nonsense are you spouting right now, sis. He even wondered if, given the opponent's violent and bratty personality, if he showed any sign of agreeing, she might just snap his neck.

"I always feel like I've been dragging everyone down..."

"Acting impulsively, eager to achieve, trying to prove myself, thus messing up many things. You're right Bai Zhou, if it weren't for me, the Abyssal White Flower wouldn't have escaped last time."

"Yun Yao, what kind of madness is this!" Bai Zhou couldn't help but lowly shout.

Another flash of fire exploded next to them, the Dark Gold Rose had switched from armor-piercing rounds to explosive ones just recently, and it seemed she was getting serious.

Bai Zhou pulled Yun Yao around a corner, continuously bumping into things as they walked, finally hiding in a narrow nook. He used a reflective mirror to observe the position of the Dark Gold Rose, and a distant figure also noticed his actions, casually waving and with a single pistol shot, shattered the mirror in his hand.

"That crazy woman." The shards of the mirror scattered all over the ground as Bai Zhou retracted his hand like it had been scalded, cursing under his breath.

Being given the code name of the Light Prism Tier is more like a compromise. When a Cleaner becomes strong enough to reflect the brilliance of the world, they possess the ability to stand on equal footing with the Association, no longer directly taking orders but maintaining a mutually beneficial relationship with them.

Even before obtaining a code name, those individuals transcend beyond the rules and frameworks of the world, acting as they please. For those at the Light Prism Tier, the honor of a code name pales in comparison to their own brilliance.

They had never encountered a Cleaner of the Light Prism Tier. All they commonly heard were rumors of the Cyan Sage, influencing the strange world of Nest City from millions of kilometers away with mere thoughts. The elder's life level had reached an unimaginable height for ordinary people.

The feeling given was of absolute strength; his image blinding when looked upon, his name inspiring awe and reverence. Not to be spied upon, doubted, or defiled. The current encounter with the Dark Gold Rose offered a more eerie sensation.

She appeared and disappeared unpredictably, employing constant tactics, like a cunning wolf toying with its prey. A series of bewildering methods left them unable to calmly contemplate how she accomplished it or what her motives were.

Is she strong?

Without a doubt, the abilities displayed by the Dark Gold Rose were exceedingly strong, to an unreasonable extent. Bai Zhou glanced at Yun Yao, who was still muttering under her breath, eyes empty, spirit shattered.

He was certain that throughout all the Cleaners he had witnessed who were renowned for their long-range capabilities, none could suppress two Fourth Tier Cleaners from a range of three hundred meters with an anti-materiel sniper rifle, rendering them powerless, not even Yun Yao, who was a Fourth Tier Gun Master.

But he couldn't grasp the true purpose behind such behavior from the opponent.

Was it merely to mock them?

Could such powerful individuals possess such a frivolous hobby?
