Chapter 522: The Art of Combat
“【Boundless Space】 is ready.”
“Charge the building.”
Han Qing quickly issued the order, and the members of Team 007 surrounding the construction site surged forward, rushing towards the unfinished skyscraper in the center.
Seven dark red cloaks raced across the gray-brown ground, each step kicking up a cloud of dust.
Clang—!
The straight blades were drawn in unison.
“Formation 331.” Han Qing commanded calmly.
She dashed to the base of the skyscraper, her body sinking slightly, then with a sudden burst of strength, she leaped upward like a cannonball, cracking the ground beneath her with a series of dense fissures.
Without any external assistance, she jumped nearly eight stories high.
Then, she tapped her toes on the window ledge of the eighth floor, her body soaring upward like a feather, then to the twelfth floor, the sixteenth floor…
After three consecutive leaps, she landed on the unfinished twentieth floor.
Bending down, her fingertips lightly touched the air, and purple flames spread out like a spider web, intertwining and blooming in mid-air, resembling a purple fire eye standing atop the skyscraper.
Meanwhile, on the first floor of the building, the remaining three members of Team 007 charged in from two different directions in groups of three.
The “331” formation is one of the tactical formations used by Team 007 for high-rise combat, with Vice Captain Han Qing guarding the top floor to prevent the “Mysterious” from escaping the building. The other two groups searched for the “Mysterious” at maximum speed from two directions, ensuring that each group had the capability to engage the “Mysterious” individually.
Once the location of the “Mysterious” was discovered, the two groups would quickly converge, and Han Qing, stationed on the rooftop, would strike with thunderous force to eliminate the “Mysterious.”
This tactical formation can be said to be one of the most effective strategies Team 007 has for dealing with “Mysterious” incidents.
Qi Xiaoyu, Yang Letong, and Zhao Kun formed a group, rapidly searching upward in a triangular formation. They moved swiftly, covering six floors in an instant and were now charging towards the seventh floor.
As they stepped onto the seventh floor, a figure appeared in the center.
Yang Letong’s pupils constricted.
“Target spotted!!” he shouted, rushing towards the figure without hesitation!
As he ran, his body began to emit a bluish-gray glow, and the temperature around him rose sharply. Each step he took on the floor melted the surface like lava, leaving a footprint behind.
Behind him, Zhao Kun reacted quickly, extending his hand into the air. The water tank that had been prepared outside the building exploded, sending a massive surge of water shooting up like a pillar, flying outside the seventh floor.
In the “331” formation, the two groups of three had undergone countless drills together, and their abilities were perfectly suited for this situation. Zhao Kun’s ability could manipulate water, but the preparation time for his technique was too long. However, the fierce and domineering Yang Letong could compensate for this gap in combat effectiveness.
As for Qi Xiaoyu, she was like a radar, her direct combat ability negligible.
However, just as Yang Letong charged towards the figure, his pupils suddenly constricted.
Leaning against a load-bearing column was indeed the actor who had left the theater, but he was now bound tightly with tape, secured to the column, and the shadow with the crimson eyes that had been attached to him had vanished…
“Decoy!” Yang Letong immediately realized.
At that moment, a black shadow dropped down from the darkness of the rooftop, landing behind Zhao Kun. On the shadow’s forehead, a single crimson eye emitted an eerie glow.
In the next instant, it merged entirely into Zhao Kun’s body, transforming into a shadow that enveloped his skin.
Zhao Kun’s body stiffened for a moment as two streams of mental energy collided violently in his mind. As Zhao Kun was only at the “Sea” realm, he could only hold on for a moment before losing control of his body.
His consciousness fell into a deep slumber.
His eyes slowly closed, and suddenly, a crimson-eyed black pupil opened on his forehead!
A faint smile crept across his lips.
He swung the hilt of his straight blade against Qi Xiaoyu’s head, knocking her unconscious, then reached out with his hand.
Boom—!!!
A torrential surge of high-pressure water burst in from the window, crashing directly into Yang Letong in the center of the floor. The bluish-gray glow on his skin collided with the water, as if it had touched lava, causing the water around him to boil instantly!
Yang Letong turned around, shocked to see the crimson-eyed Zhao Kun. In the next moment, he was swept off his feet by the terrifying water pressure, directly pulled out through a side window, shattering the glass and plummeting down.
The crimson-eyed Zhao Kun walked to the corner, draped the wet coat on the ground over his shoulders, lowered his head to place the black top hat on, and leisurely made his way to the center of the floor.
He raised his cane and lightly tapped the floor.
The high-pressure water swirling around him condensed into a hammer, crashing down heavily onto the floor, the terrifying force exploding from the water, directly penetrating the floor beneath.
After that, the high-pressure water hammer showed no signs of stopping, continuing to smash down with terrifying energy, consecutively breaking through all the floors below, and striking the leader of the second group of three still on the fifth floor, sending him crashing down as well.
Boom boom boom—!
A series of rumbling sounds echoed from below.
He controlled his strength with great precision, creating a hole that penetrated seven floors without damaging the building’s load-bearing structure.
The swirling dust rolled in, and the remaining two members of the other group sprang into action, their blades flashing as they charged through the dust towards him.
Crimson-eyed Zhao Kun, holding the unconscious Qi Xiaoyu, approached the edge of the hole and directly threw her down, quickly descending to the first floor!
“Kill me, or save someone, you choose.” He spoke with a smile.
Unlike Yang Letong, who was tough and resilient, Qi Xiaoyu was merely a weak girl capable of sensing mental energy. Although her physical abilities had significantly improved after advancing to the “Sea” realm, falling from the seventh floor while unconscious would still result in serious injury.
As he expected, among the remaining two, one gritted his teeth and rushed downstairs to save Qi Xiaoyu, while the other, still filled with killing intent, leaped up from the fifth floor, charging towards him.
Crimson-eyed Zhao Kun lightly adjusted his hat, as if sensing something, and retreated five steps. Then, a purple-red lightning bolt from the rooftop shattered several floors, directly striking the spot where he had just stood…
Then, by sheer coincidence, it struck the 007 team member who had leaped up.
The latter let out a muffled groan, his eyes rolling back as he fell straight down through the hole to the first floor.
