It was now impossible to see him. No one knew how to fight an invisible opponent; everyone was trembling in fear, standing frozen in place.
Boom!
With a deafening sound, the person on the far right of the crowd was violently thrown away. Since these ten or so people were lined up horizontally, when this person was blasted away, the others were affected like a row of dominoes.
In an instant, five or six people were hurled into the air by the force, crashing heavily to the ground. The person on the far right died on the spot, while the others were injured to varying degrees, writhing in pain on the floor.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The few remaining individuals on the left hurriedly opened fire, shooting wildly into the air. However, they couldn't see their target at all, let alone aim properly. Soon enough, they had exhausted their already limited ammunition.
Yet there was no response in the air; not even a shadow of Lu Xiaoran could be seen.
This was bad; victory was impossible now. They had to escape quickly.
Sweat beads formed on Zhang Kaiwen's forehead. He knew that without bullets and facing an opponent as monstrous as Lu Xiaoran, they had no chance of winning. If they didn't run soon, not only would those few Ability users he had brought with him be in danger, but he himself might also lose his life here.
"Stop shooting! Everyone retreat now! Hurry!" Zhang Kaiwen shouted loudly at the few survivors.
He then turned and used his teleportation Ability to move to the stairwell. However, when he saw the situation at the stairs, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.
The stairs had been completely destroyed at some point. Now, there was no way down from a height of four or five meters.
"Boss, the stairs here are gone. How are we supposed to get down?"
The few Ability users had already rushed to Zhang Kaiwen's side. Upon seeing the destroyed staircase, their faces turned pale with fear, and they trembled as they asked him what to do.
Zhang Kaiwen remained silent, standing still for a moment before suddenly using his teleportation Ability to move downstairs.
Without looking back, he ran towards the next flight of stairs.
Seeing Zhang Kaiwen run off alone, the trapped Ability users above felt a surge of panic. They shouted down, "Boss, you've gone down! What are we supposed to do? You can't just leave us behind!"
However, Zhang Kaiwen completely ignored their cries and continued down the stairs.
To him, these Ability users were merely pawns in his quest for ambition. Their lives were insignificant compared to his own. Even if he had a way to save them, he had no intention of doing so.
In chess, it's often said that sacrificing pawns to protect the king is essential. Now, these individuals had become expendable pieces that needed to be discarded. Their only role was to hold Lu Xiaoran back, buying Zhang Kaiwen time to escape.
As long as Zhang Kaiwen could survive, he could always recruit more Ability users later. Losing a dozen or so now was hardly a significant loss.
