Chapter 246 The Clown is Me
"There is actually a top-level extraordinary person hiding nearby..."
The sudden discovery disrupted all of Ryan's plans.
The fact that [Totem of Strength] fell on Wum had been deliberately exposed before, and he was very sure that guy was 100% a bait.
This is a conspiracy in which both parties are willing to fight and be beaten. The Umud totem helps in cultivation, but also carries the risk of being killed.
But no matter what, these "big guys" would never allow this treasure, which is comparable to the "crystal of divine power", to be taken away by the Colemans, or by other guys with ill intentions.
Therefore, when Wum appears, there must be a top-level extraordinary person lurking around him.
There is no doubt about this!
At this moment, Ryan suddenly felt like he was being pointed at by a hunter in the forest with a gun, and his hair stood on end.
Although Ryan was now almost invincible at the third level, and was confident that he could escape unscathed even if he encountered a fourth-level transcendent, he would have no chance of winning if he encountered those top-level transcendents who were lurking to wait for Bazel and Mafa!
After being repelled, he did not attack rashly again, but looked at Wum with a serious look on his face, with the idea of retreating instinctively in his heart.
…
The previous wars were nothing more than minor skirmishes in the eyes of the truly top-level extraordinary beings.
No matter if it was the president of the "Redwood Chamber of Commerce" or the son of a duke... whoever died, those big shots would not be easily exposed.
After all, in this wilderness, if they attract the great witch priest Mafa or the legendary strongman like Bazel, it will not end well. If they act blindly, it will also disrupt their "fishing" plan.
But Wum couldn't bear to watch his mother being killed by Ryan, so he was forced to expose himself.
As for the purpose of their coming here, it is easy to imagine.
The ruins of the ancient city of Monkle, which has never been developed, may be the place where the inheritance of the "Seventy-two Divine Generals" can be found. This is a temptation that even the top extraordinary people cannot resist.
You can excavate the ruins without blatantly revealing your identity.
Therefore, it must have come in secret.
Ryan took in the shocked expressions on the faces of everyone around him after Wum appeared.
Except for Phoebe, everyone was surprised by the appearance of this "mysterious master", even the green-haired young man from the Duke's Mansion.
Obviously, no one knew that there was such a master hidden in the team.
Ryan had no intention of continuing to fight with Wum, but it was not easy to leave now.
When he was at the second stage, his speed was almost on par with the all-agility [Ghost] Chilos. Now that he wanted to leave, even Wumu couldn't stop him.
But what Ryan was worried about was not this guy, but the top-level extraordinary person who was hiding and would take action.
There is no point in taking hostages now. If the big guys really want to take action, they won't care about the lives of some insignificant minions.
For a moment, Ryan felt that he was in a dilemma.
…
But on second thought, Ryan suddenly realized that he was overthinking.
"No! Since Wumu attacked with a mask on, he probably thought I hadn't guessed his identity. Moreover, my true identity has not been exposed yet, and those top-level extraordinary people who are hiding definitely don't know that I have seen through their plan to lure the enemy. Before they catch Marfa or Bazel, they will definitely not easily reveal their identities for a small character like me..."
In an instant, Ryan's thoughts raced through his mind, and he caught a glimmer of hope.
This is also a situation of information asymmetry.
If the other party knew that Ryan had a close relationship with Mafa, Bazel and others, they would definitely take action.
But the fact is, no one knows Ryan's true identity, and everyone thinks he is a secret worshipper of the "Redwood Chamber of Commerce"!
The "fishing plan" of those guys in Glory City is aimed at the top combat forces in Marfa, and they will definitely not "use a cannon to kill a mosquito" unless it is necessary.
“Got it!”
After figuring this out, Ryan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately thought of a possible solution to the current crisis.
He knew very well that there was only one situation in which those "big guys" would take action.
That is when even Umm can’t take down Rennes!
If Wum could easily solve this "trouble", those top-level extraordinary people would definitely not choose to expose themselves.
His eyes turned and said, "It seems that we can't win this fight..."
If Ryan hadn't guessed Wum's identity and a mysterious master suddenly appeared to fight him, he would have burst out with all his strength and killed this guy.
Although the opponent is very strong, Ryan is very confident that he can defeat him alone.
After all, they were both melee fighters, and the gap in martial arts and cultivation could be made up by using the amount of fighting spirit and medical ability. Even if it was a war of attrition, he could wear the opponent to death.
But now, Ryan can't win!
If he kills Wum, or shows any signs of threatening Wum's life, those top-level extraordinary people in hiding will stop him!
After all, the bigwigs behind Wumu would definitely not watch him kill the "bait" and then let him take the [Totem of Power] away...
Therefore, if he wants to resolve the crisis tonight, he can only "show weakness to the enemy"!
…
While Ryan was thinking, Wum, who thought he was hiding well, was not idle.
“Bang!”
He also stepped on the ground with a loud bang and attacked Ryan again. Looking at his fierce posture, it seemed that he was going to kill Ryan on the spot!
With a dull "bang", Ryan was kicked again.
Even though I blocked it, I still felt like all the fighting spirit in my body was about to be kicked away.
"What a fast speed! The power is completely integrated into the martial arts..."
Ryan secretly praised himself and retreated several meters before he stopped.
The reason he was defeated this time was not because he was trying to hide his weakness, but because the opponent's martial arts were indeed very advanced.
Every punch and kick from that guy was as ferocious as a fire lion, suppressing Ryan's domineering tiger momentum and making him unable to gain any advantage. It was obvious that his "momentum" had reached its peak and he was just about to gather his fist intention.
Wum now has his own understanding of martial arts, and his punches have gradually gained soul.
Ryan is still at the stage of imitating and copying others.
This is realm suppression.
It's like the difference between a handmade original and a machine-made imitation. Although they look similar, in the eyes of true experts, there is a world of difference.
At the moment Ryan was repelled, Wum attacked again. He had no intention of giving Ryan a chance to breathe.
He leaped up and chopped down with his leg, which turned out to be the secret of the leg technique [Storm Cut].
This kick wrapped in -type fighting spirit was like a red-hot steel whip, hitting Ryan's right arm heavily as he blocked it.
The leg bones touched the strong muscles of his arms, and with a dull sound, a wave of burning heat poured into Ryan's body along with the force.
The fighting spirit is like a blade, this is the close combat [Storm Cutting] that martial artists are good at!
Not only was there physical damage, the fire element's fighting spirit violently rushed into Ryan's meridians, making Ryan's arm feel as if it was burned by flames for a moment, causing a burning pain.
"So [Raikiri] can be used like this..."
Ryan looked very solemn, but he seemed to have understood something.
I have to admit that there is still a certain gap between me and this guy in martial arts. If he uses this kick, it will definitely not reach such a smooth level.
But the existence of a gap does not mean that we cannot defeat them.
If this kick was thrown by an ordinary third-level extraordinary person, even if he blocked it, he would probably be seriously injured.
But this kind of injury, with Ryan's super healing ability, would not hurt no matter how many times he was kicked.
If he fights back now, the opponent will definitely be seriously injured.
But now, he had to show weakness.
Moreover, he couldn't let those guys hiding in the dark see too many of his cards.
The wound on his waist that was pierced by the assassin had also burst open, but he didn't care about it anymore. The "Gang Line" only maintained the wound on his internal organs...
And before that, he had killed several people in a row, and each move was a "big move" that consumed a lot of energy and put a lot of strain on the body. He couldn't completely look like I had "unlimited firepower", and at this moment, he also showed a little bit of fatigue that a normal person should have...
As for the rest, there is no need to pretend at all.
Because Wum was very strong and every move was a killing move, it was difficult for Ryan to deal with him.
The two sides fought back and forth, and the fight was extremely fierce.
Under Ryan's deliberate guidance, every time he was repelled, he would move towards the outside of the encirclement, not hiding his intention to escape while fighting...
As he expected, because Wum clearly had the upper hand, those top-level extraordinary people hiding in the dark did not show up.
…
The sudden arrival of a master on the battlefield finally gave the chaotic knights of the Duke's Mansion some time to breathe.
A small number of people went to chase after Catherine and the others who had escaped, but the vast majority of the masters began to form a formation, intending to surround and kill Ryan on the spot.
The green-haired young man laughed wildly in excitement when he saw a mysterious master suddenly come and stop Ryan, and beat him back step by step.
"Hahaha……"
Finally, the sense of crisis of death disappeared, and the suppressed anger in my heart was released.
Although he did not recognize the identity of the masked man, no matter how he looked at it, this mysterious master was one of “his own”.
At this time, someone recognized him.
Hope, the Iron Tower who had finally recovered from a punch to the heart, guessed the man's identity from the way he punched and kicked.
But a strange look flashed across his face, but he didn't say anything else.
help?
No, he was well aware of his junior brother's pride and would never allow anyone to interfere with his duel.
But the green-haired young city lord didn't know this "taboo".
At this moment, he wanted to kill this lunatic who almost scared him to death as soon as possible, so he gave an order: "Knights... surround and kill that guy!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing the order, the army that had already assembled quickly surrounded the two people who were dueling.
Ryan looked at this place and felt a little heavy in his heart.
He originally planned to move the battlefield farther away so that he could evacuate without interference from others.
But unexpectedly, the Knights Legion had already surrounded them.
Just as he was hesitating whether to explode on the spot and escape before being completely surrounded, he suddenly heard a thunderous roar.
"roll!"
What shocked Ryan was that the person who shouted this was none other than Wum, who was fighting with him.
The sound of "get out" was like a loud bell, and the violent momentum suppressed the whole place.
Not only Ryan, but all the knights who were about to gather around were stunned and stopped. Everyone heard the warning in the shout of "Get lost": if you dare to disobey, you will die!
"you……"
After being yelled at, Young Master George's face turned extremely ugly, as if he had eaten a dead rat.
I am a high-ranking noble, how dare you say that to me?
Don’t I have any face?
"Give me……"
George was furious and was about to say something to save face, but at this moment, the cloaked man suddenly turned his head and glared at him fiercely.
It was this murderous look that made Young Master George choke on the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and he swallowed them with a "gulp".
This look is so familiar to him...
I was almost scared to death by Ryan’s glare before, and he’s coming again now?
He had no doubt that if he really said anything, the guy would kill him without hesitation!
He shuddered all over and hid behind the guards, not daring to show his head again.
The hundred-man legion that was encircling the enemy became a little frightened when they saw that the young lord did not say anything. They tacitly followed the order to stay where they were and did not move forward.
…
Ryan was shocked for a moment by the collective mockery of Wumu, the enemy and I, "What a domineering momentum..."
This kind of enemy will become a big problem in the future if we keep him around, so the best option is to kill him.
But not now.
Wum's shout made all the people who were encircling the area stop, and no one dared to come to help, which left a huge gap in the encirclement.
This can be considered a divine assist.
Originally Ryan was planning to find a chance to evacuate, but he didn't expect that his sleepiness would hit him hard.
Just when Wum turned to glare at Young Master George, he seized the opportunity and, without even thinking about fighting, ran out of the encirclement.
After the "whoosh" sound of the wind, the person had run a long way.
Seeing his opponent running away, Wumu sneered as expected: "Humph, naive!"
His figure also flashed and he chased after him.
With the blessing of [Totem of Strength], Wumu was very confident in his speed. His current [Secret Skill: Divine Movement] could produce six phantoms in a row, which meant that his muscle endurance and fighting spirit were enough to support him to use six consecutive charges.
With six sudden advances and displacements, the distance of a thousand meters can be shortened in the blink of an eye. How could we let the enemy escape under our noses?
Wum thought that the crow-masked guy in front of him was also very strong and was also good at [Godspeed].
But he was very confident. As a third-level transcendent, no one was more proficient in [Divine Movement] than him.
As far as he could guess, although Ryan was very powerful, he could only use [Godspeed] to move three or four times in a row at most, and his muscles and fighting spirit would not be able to withstand such a huge load.
So, he chased after him confidently.
…
“Snap”, “Snap”, “Snap”…
After three consecutive explosions, the two figures rushed out of the encirclement.
Just as Wum expected, the guy wearing the crow mask was "exhausted" and continued to flee in a normal running state...
[Godspeed] is like a musket firing a bullet, and the barrel needs to be cooled. The more times you use it continuously, the greater the load on your muscles. If you use it forcefully, it will only break your muscles.
Seeing this, Wum sneered: You are exhausted, but I am not.
He took another sudden step forward, apparently using his fourth divine movement.
Then, he instantly closed all the distance and drove side by side with Ryan.
At this moment, the relative speed of the two people was almost zero.
At this distance, they could even clearly see the expressions on each other's faces.
Umm had the chance to stop Ryan, but instead of doing so, he chased him like a cat chasing a mouse.
Wum was very confident that the [ Totem of Strength] would allow his fighting spirit to recover extremely quickly and also give him super muscle endurance... He could chase down his enemies to death.
He really enjoyed chasing his prey and seeing the fearful look in his prey's eyes when he was cornered...
But suddenly, he found that things seemed different from what he expected.
Eh... this guy hasn't given up hope yet?
Looking again, Wum discovered that Ryan's eyes were not on her at all?
At this moment, he was confused.
“…”
Looking at Wum's self-conceited face, Ryan naturally guessed what this guy was thinking.
While sprinting, he pursed his lips and raised a very insulting and commonly used gesture towards the other party: the middle finger!
He really didn't take this guy seriously at all.
Ryan looked back from time to time, never at Wum, but to observe whether there was anyone else catching up besides this guy.
Then, as expected, a ghostly figure followed.
He secretly thought that something was wrong and no longer dared to hide his strength, and went on a rampage with all his strength!
…
You are looking for death!
Wum was completely enraged by Ryan's insulting middle finger and contemptuous look.
He couldn't help but want to stop this guy immediately and kill him!
And at this moment, suddenly, he saw the guy with the crow mask speed up suddenly, and it turned out that he used [Godspeed] again.
"Humph, you're trying to escape by force? Forget it!"
Wum sneered in his heart, thinking that he had judged the other party's intention correctly. He also moved quickly and his speed increased instantly.
However, the next moment, this arrogant and confident fighting genius suddenly discovered a fact that made his worldview collapse...
Not all [Divine Movement] displacement distances are the same, this is directly related to muscle burst and fighting spirit.
The maximum distance that Wum can advance at one time is about one hundred meters.
Before that, Ryan had only shown about 80 meters.
It was based on this that he judged that his opponent was far inferior to him in terms of fighting spirit and muscle burst.
That’s why I’m so confident.
Logically speaking, the winner should be decided this time!
But now, with the same charge, Wum found that the distance between them was not shortened, but got farther and farther.
At first, he thought it was an illusion.
However, a series of "pop", "pop", "pop" noises were heard.
He felt more like he was hallucinating.
But the facts told him that he was right.
The intense burning sensation in the leg muscles meant that the accumulated fatigue had reached the upper limit, and the number of times [Godspeed] could be used had reached its limit. This also forced the genius who was so proud of his peers to stop and stand there in a daze.
But when I looked again, the guy with the crow mask had lost even his taillights!
What did I see?
That guy...used the explosive martial art [Divine Speed] as a regular means of escape?
Wum fell into self-doubt.
After a moment, face the reality.
He looked at Lei who had disappeared into the darkness, and his pride was shattered like a glass mirror.
He roared in his heart: "How is this possible! Even if he has consumed so much fighting spirit, how can his body muscles support such a strong load?!"
Only then did he realize that the other party had been hiding his strength.
From the beginning to the end, I was being played like a clown...
Thinking of this, Wum felt ashamed and angry, but she could do nothing about it.
At the end of his field of vision, the figure disappeared into the darkness at a speed so fast that he could not catch up at all.
…
At this moment, a black-robed figure suddenly appeared beside him.
Wumu was startled and called out respectfully, "Teacher."
The man in black robe is naturally the only martial arts grandmaster in Omar, Rocky Refar!
The old man took a look at the darkness and snorted coldly: "Humph, good boy. He even fooled me just now. Although I don't know how he did it, the boy should have discovered my existence a long time ago. You go back first, I will chase him..."
Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared.
