"Why aren't they attacking yet?" Chang Qing waited for a while, but there was no movement.
"Come on, ninjas are all about stealth and assassination; they have to wait for the perfect moment," the system replied, feeling exasperated.
"I've used my Ability to surround the entire convoy; this is the moment when they're most vulnerable..."
The system retorted, "You don't look very vulnerable right now."
As they spoke, a brilliant flash of light erupted, followed by a tremendous explosion.
Chang Qing looked over to see that Li Jun and Chen Jin had unleashed their ultimate moves. However, it was clear that Li Jun was at a disadvantage; a fiery pathway extended outward, knocking down trees on either side that were already beginning to burn. At the end of the pathway, Li Jun struggled to stand up.
On the other side, Chen Jin was also gasping for breath, clearly having expended a significant amount of energy.
Chang Qing took a couple of steps forward, ready to take action when he suddenly heard the sound of something slicing through the air from three directions.
Shurikens!
With a quick push off his right foot, Chang Qing soared into the air using the power of vines.
Clang! Three shurikens collided beneath him, sending sparks flying in all directions.
To his surprise, these shurikens did not fall as expected; instead, they reversed direction and shot upward directly at him.
At this moment, Chang Qing was already airborne and had nowhere to dodge. But this was no challenge for him. He reached out with one hand, and a vine shot out, quickly wrapping around a towering tree nearby. Using its strength, he swung himself up and landed directly on the treetops.
As night fell, the moonlight illuminated the scene clearly. He noticed that the Shuriken was connected to a transparent thread, allowing it to be controlled and change direction for an attack.
Before he could think further, the Shuriken came at him again.
Since there was no way to dodge, he had no choice but to block it!
Chang Qing pivoted, and countless vines shot out, coiling towards the speeding Shuriken like a cobra.
Boom! Upon contact, a massive explosion erupted, indicating that the Shuriken was embedded with explosive talismans or similar items.
He was relieved he hadn’t tried to catch it with his hands!
But in the next moment, Chang Qing suddenly felt darkness enveloping him.
Bathed in moonlight, three figures suddenly appeared in the sky, their Ninja Blades gleaming ominously under the cold light of the moon.
The Three Ninjas concealed their presence, waiting for this very moment!
Their speed was astonishing; in a flash of moonlight, three sharp blades plunged into the young man's body.
The swirling vines instantly fell to the ground, resembling long hair twisted together after being doused with water.
It’s done! A hint of relief finally appeared on the faces of the three.
However, when a few of them tried to pull out the Ninja Blade, they found it stuck, refusing to budge.
Clap! Clap! The sound of applause echoed nearby.
"I didn't expect there to be an Eastern Ninja in the Dragon Blood Mercenary Corps." Chang Qing's voice was clear, but to the Three Ninjas, it sounded like a ghostly apparition.
The three of them turned pale, their toes barely touching the ground as they attempted to retreat, only to discover that vines had wrapped around their ankles without them noticing.
Looking again, they realized that what they had struck was not their target but a wooden dummy.
"You are not a Third-Level Ability User!" the leader of the ninjas exclaimed in shock. He realized that his Ability was utterly ineffective against Chang Qing. It was known that his Ability excelled in escape, yet now the vines were tightening around him, indicating that the opponent's Ability level was higher than his own.
The other two felt equally despondent. Although their Ability levels differed by just one rank, the gap in combat power felt insurmountable. In this controlled situation, escape seemed nearly impossible.
"Third-Level Ability User? Of course not," Chang Qing replied with a hint of amusement.
He reached for a Shuriken, a weapon resembling a short sword with a long, thin blade that was exceptionally sharp. The wooden hilt was engraved with strange patterns, and there was a circular hole at the bottom connected by a thread.
Just as he was about to ask a question, a sudden loud crash came from below.
Chang Qing had no time to interrogate the three; he hurried down to investigate.
The situation was much better than he had imagined. The attackers were fleeing in panic, and the loud noise just now was caused by Chen Jin firing a rocket launcher that collided with an ice wall.
It seemed that the attackers had a special means of communication among themselves. Upon learning that several Third-Level Ability Users had failed in their ambush, they realized the battle was lost and decided to retreat at a signal.
Seeing that the projectile had been blocked, Chen Jin felt a surge of resentment. He had been in a dominant position against Li Jun, and it was frustrating to retreat at this moment. Before leaving, he took out some Hot Weapons from his space and fired a shot. Just as he was about to severely injure Li Jun, Bai Bing unexpectedly intervened.
However, with his teammates retreating, he dared not linger. In a flash of lightning, he dashed into the depths of the dense forest.
With his Ability enhancing his speed, it wasn't long before he spotted the figures of his former team members ahead. Just as he was about to rush forward, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, nearly causing him to collapse.
The person ahead happened to be a member of his original team. Hearing the noise and turning around to see their former captain, they hurriedly rushed over to support him, and the two quickly vanished into the forest.
"Host! You used Divine Consciousness Attack!" The system was in a flurry.
Chang Qing's face turned pale as he sat down on the roof of a vehicle.
Yet he did not regret using Divine Consciousness Attack on Chen Jin. After all, Chen Jin was linked to the original host's death, and now he had provoked him again; there was no way he could let this slide. Moreover, Chen Jin had just maliciously targeted Li Jun, who had exhausted his Ability—such a person might thrive in an apocalyptic world but was certainly not someone one would want as an enemy. Chang Qing attacked with intent to kill.
At this moment, everyone gathered around. Although most were injured, thankfully there were no casualties.
" brother Qing, are you okay?" Seeing Chang Qing's pale face, Li Jun expressed concern. brother Qing had not only used his Ability to protect the non-Ability users in their team but had also fought against three Third-Level Ability Users; it must have taken a significant toll on him.
Chang Qing waved his hand dismissively. "I'm fine. Everyone check your injuries."
Among the crowd, only Bai Bing remained clean, while everyone else was covered in dirt and grime. Li Jun, in particular, had torn clothes and a face smeared with blood.
There were no Healing Type Ability users in the group, but fortunately, there was a doctor among the non-Ability users.
Chang Qing removed the vines that wrapped around the car, allowing the doctor to conduct a simple check-up for everyone.
Although the group hadn't directly witnessed the battle outside, stepping out of the car and seeing the devastated battlefield filled them with a sense of dread.
Tang Xiaotang tightly held her mother's hand, still feeling a bit anxious.
Yang Mother walked over and handed her a candy. "Don't be afraid, little Tang. The bad guys have already been chased away."
"That's right, the bad guys are gone. We're safe now," Bai Bing said as she unusually approached and patted Tang Xiaotang's head.
"The Dragon Blood Mercenary Corps tried to take lives when they couldn't recruit us; it's truly despicable!" Yellow-Haired Boy kicked at a black-clad man bound by vines, speaking with anger.
The man remained motionless.
Chang Qing's heart sank as he pulled all the trapped Ability users over.
They were all already dead!
