Chapter 73: Chapter 73: How Presumptuous of You
Chapter 73: Chapter 73: How Presumptuous of You
Seeing the boss make a move, Hu Peng immediately abandoned the auction matters and quickly activated his Gold Element superpower. He stepped on a steel bar and followed the white-haired man’s pace.
The zombies on Level -5 seemed to receive some instruction, becoming frenzied in an instant, and immediately launched an attack on the five people who fell to Level -5.
The audience on Level -3 didn’t understand what was happening, they only knew something was wrong. Those who screamed, screamed; those who ran, ran; and in the chaos, some seized the chance to rob.
Chaos reigned everywhere, with only Ji Wanwan and the white-haired man’s group remaining still.
Seeing the boss had made a killer move and then stopped for a while, Hu Peng was at a loss for a moment, unsure whether he should take action.
Ji Wanwan, however, was beginning a brainstorm.
The man who could command such respect from Elder Hu Peng must be Baize.
From that move he just performed, Ji Wanwan could conclude that Baize’s strength was at least on par with her own, if not stronger.
In a one-on-one fight, she could ensure her own safe retreat, but now, on Baize’s turf, with his numerous helpers, trying to escape with Wen Yuheng intact was extremely tricky.
“Wen Yuheng, later use the Vines to obscure their vision…”
After a brief thought, Ji Wanwan lowered her voice and communicated the next steps to Wen Yuheng. However, half the words had been spoken and still, there was no response.
She hesitantly glanced over at Wen Yuheng and saw uncertainty and panic filling his eyes.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Wanwan cautiously guarded against Baize while dividing a fraction of her attention to inquire.
Right when Ji Wanwan had finished outlining their next move, Wen Yuheng had tried to activate his superpower, but no sooner had he resonated with the wildly growing vines beneath the earth than he felt as if all his strength had been drained away, unable to sense anything.
He was both shocked and panicked in an instant, “I don’t know why, but I can’t use my superpower…”
Ji Wanwan was slightly taken aback.
How could this be?
She had just used her superpower!
Ji Wanwan suddenly looked towards Baize.

Could it be him?
Noticing her distraction, Baize’s peach blossom eyes curved, and with a quick move, he appeared in front of Ji Wanwan.
Ji Wanwan was about to Instantly Teleport, but Baize framed a Space Barrier that enclosed her and Wen Yuheng, as well as himself and Hu Peng, all inside it.
Seeing this maneuver, Ji Wanwan’s body stiffened, feeling as though her blood was flowing backward, and she went cold from her hands to her feet in the blink of an eye.
Space Manipulation!
No doubt about it!
This was Space Manipulation!
Hu Peng was about to surge forward to take the lead when he suddenly found his body stiffened, as if filled with a thousand pounds of heavy iron, making even the slightest movement difficult.
This was the boss’s superpower!
What was the boss doing?
Hu Peng looked at Baize with confusion, but the latter had a smile in his eyes as he watched Ji Wanwan, “Just walking away like this, isn’t that a bit impolite?”
Ji Wanwan attempted to use Equivalence Healing to restore her spiritual power and physical strength.
When she found that she could freely use her superpower, she breathed a sigh of relief inside. It seemed Baize’s superpower only worked on ordinary Awakeners.
But upon further thought, she became anxious again. If Baize’s superpower had no effect on her, did that mean her superpower was also ineffective against him?
She pinched her fingertips together, intending to buy time, “What do you mean by that?”
Baize took a step forward, his presence oppressive as he stared down at Ji Wanwan, “Killing my man and then just leaving, don’t you think that’s rather presumptuous?”
Ji Wanwan spread her hands, a picture of innocence, “He bullied me first. I was just fighting back. Is that so wrong?”
“Ah… Is that right?” Baize stroked his chin pensively, then suddenly extended his hand toward her, “Then give me the Blood Pearl that Xiang Rui had condensed, and I will let you go.”
Ji Wanwan certainly didn’t believe Baize’s lies.
The way these people conducted themselves was utterly lawless; in her eyes, they had no credibility at all.
Shaking her head, she pointed to a high platform, “You already have so many Blood Pearls. This one I earned fair and square. I won’t give it to you!”
Baize couldn’t help but laugh, seemingly somewhat helpless against her stubborn tone, “But Xiang Rui was one of my men.”
Ji Wanwan’s neck stiffened as she planned to play shameless until the end, “Those Blood Pearls weren’t yours to begin with, yet they ended up belonging to you! I don’t care, what I get is mine!”
Imprisoned within the space, Hu Peng’s eyes bulged with rage.
The Baize Union always does as it pleases, and no one has ever dared to challenge them like this!
Why isn’t the boss taking action to wipe them out yet?
Under normal circumstances, anyone who dared to speak to the boss like that would have been dead eight hundred times over!
Just as the thought crossed his mind, Hu Peng heard Baize let out a regretful sigh, “You’re choosing the hard way when you could’ve had it easy…”
Right after these words, Hu Peng saw a slight distortion in the space around White Rabbit.
The boss is using Space Cutting!!
This move… no one can dodge it…
Uh, where did those two go?
The instant White Rabbit and the fox disappeared, Hu Peng regained his freedom.
“Boss!!”
He’d hardly steadied himself and called out once when the boss also vanished!
Hu Peng: “…”
Why is everything so foggy tonight!
Elsewhere, on level -4.
Ji Wanwan felt a slight sting on her skin and instantly, without hesitation, teleported to level -4.
She’d just steadied herself when, with a “whoosh,” Baize followed right behind her like a bone eating worm.
“I’ll say it again, hand over Xiang Rui’s Blood Pearls!”
Ji Wanwan immediately teleported again to level -5, “I said no! No means no! I won’t give them to you no matter how much you chase me!”
Wen Yuheng only felt darkness before his eyes again and again, and when his vision cleared once more, he saw a ferocious zombie pouncing towards him.
“I’ll block it!!”
Wen Yuheng’s muscles instinctively raised his hand, but he found he couldn’t use his superpower and felt a moment of embarrassment.
Ji Wanwan’s mouth twitched, she dashed forward in an arrow step, grabbed the Lion still wrestling with the zombie with her other hand, and teleported again, moving from level -5 back to level -4.
Lion: “?”
How did his surroundings spin so quickly, just to change places?
She’d just steadied herself when Baize appeared behind her again, “You really are presumptuous! You even want to take another person with you!”
Right, I can still take more things!
Ji Wanwan, holding onto Wen Yuheng with one hand and Lion with the other, “whooshed” into the air and teleported to the high platform.
The next second, all the Blood Pearls on the high platform were gone.
“Damn!”
Hu Peng, who had been erratically flying around like a headless fly with steel rods chasing after the figures of Ji Wanwan and the others, was both shocked and furious.
What kind of trick is this White Rabbit playing?
How can she move “whoosh whoosh,” just like the boss?
Lion, experiencing high-speed teleportation and Instant Teleportation for the first time, started to feel uncomfortable.
He suppressed the urge to vomit, “Rabbit, go to level -5, turn left and walk about 50 meters, there’s an Equipment Storage!”
“Got it!”
Ji Wanwan didn’t doubt him and teleported immediately.
Upon landing and seeing a room full of equipment and weapons, her eyes brightened, “Lion, well done!”
As the sound of the air being torn came from behind, Ji Wanwan didn’t have time to pick through the arsenal and used Space Manipulation to gather all the weapons together, then with a flick of her fingers, she bundled everything into the System Space.
Just as he reached out, ready to grab a weapon for himself, Lion: “?”
