Capítulo 1064: Chapter 837: What a Coincidence!
Leopard’s eyes always followed the foot that Mu Fan had stepped out.
And when he moved, Mu Fan’s foot slightly twisted, causing his eye to twitch even more.
Perhaps sensing that this veteran mercenary bore no ill will, Mu Fan’s right hand, which had been hovering above his back, dropped down.
He raised his eyelids and said lightly, “What is it?”
Leopard had already reached two meters in front of Mu Fan. Hearing the inquiry, he looked at Mu Fan with a smile, then bent down and picked up the small roll of neglected bills from the ground.
He blew off the dust and handed them to Mu Fan with both hands. In his palm was another small roll of bills, unquestionably the 4000 Star Coins that Roy had taken earlier.
“Sorry, my brother was reckless. I am the sub-team leader of Section Two at the Third City Gate in Zone B, you can call me Leopard. Today’s incident was our fault. If you’re dissatisfied, I will host a feast for you at the nearest Singer’s Restaurant to apologize.”
Throughout the conversation, Leopard’s eyes sincerely focused on Mu Fan, completely ignoring Lu Qingxue, whose inadvertent beauty peeked out from behind him.
These unusually polite words made the expression on Mu Fan’s face soften significantly.
Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Mu Fan blinked and extended his lowered right hand to receive the small roll of money from his hand.
“So, can we leave now?” Mu Fan’s voice was calm.
“You won’t hold it against us? Thank you so much.”
Mu Fan glanced at Roy, who was lying on the ground with his face full of blood, as though he was looking at a broken sack by the roadside, with no expression, merely giving him a brief look.
And the Leopard, who had earlier struck with fierce intent, was now smiling as he watched Mu Fan’s back.
In this strange atmosphere, Leopard didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
Finally, as Mu Fan left their sight over fifty meters away, a guard couldn’t help but speak, “Leopard, what madness possessed you just now! Don’t tell us you were just looking for an excuse to hit Roy, but aren’t you being too perfunctory trying to curry favor with such a person?”
Hearing his teammate’s words, Leopard leisurely took out a cigarette and lit it.
Then looked at Roy, not far away with his face full of blood, and gently shook his head, “Good that I kicked in time, you saved your life, kid.”
“You… take a look at the ground, remember this is a surface reinforced with iron slag mixed with Diamond Soil.”
Hearing Leopard’s words, Roy, whose face had just been filled with rage but hadn’t yet had time to voice it, looked toward the area indicated by his companions.
Then everyone around Leopard fell silent…
Precisely at the spot where Mu Fan had just left, a footprint sunk five centimeters deep was clearly visible to everyone.
The entire surrounding area had collapsed…
The entire area was roughly a two-meter diameter circle.
“Two people, a man and a woman, walked to Zone B in the morning, that kid’s clothes almost cut to shreds. What does that imply?”
Leopard turned his head and looked at his teammates, blowing out a smoke ring.
“He fought with those Night Hunters, and won…”
“Ha, a guy daring enough to walk the streets at night in Oasis City’s cut-off zones with a woman, is he someone we can provoke? Didn’t you notice that man’s movements just now, if Roy had stood still for 2 more seconds, that kid would have definitely pulled the weapon from his back and smashed Roy’s head to smithereens.”
All along, Leopard’s focus was only on two aspects.
One was Mu Fan’s left foot, and the other was Mu Fan’s right hand.
Hearing this, the few people around him broke out in cold sweat.
Only now did they realize what Leopard had prevented…
Roy nearly provoked a desperate man capable of surviving a Night Hunter ambush unscathed.
“Phew… thanks to you.”
“Roy, get up, quickly thank Brother Leopard.”
The young man was helped up, a touch of anger crossed his face, he snorted coldly and turned away, giving no face at all.
This left the vice-captain who had helped him up somewhat embarrassed, glaring at him harshly.
Roy stared hard at Mu Fan’s receding back, now more than a hundred meters away.
“Do you dare conclude he’s someone we can’t afford to anger without him making a move? There are plenty of desperates in Oasis City; does that mean, according to you, we shouldn’t provoke any of them?”
Roy spat, “Then we might as well not be the Guard Team if we’re all just cowards.”
As he spoke, Roy saw the two figures in the distance suddenly stop because a figure approached from the other end of the street, standing right in front of them.
“You get picked on as soon as you enter the city, is there no one here you can compare to if you randomly pull someone out from the city?!”
Roy’s words stabbed like knives, his speech growing more excited.
Because what he said was true.
However, the next second, Roy shut his mouth, and all the surrounding guards widened their eyes simultaneously!
…
Mu Fan stopped, Lu Qingxue stopped.
In front of the two figures, a blue-haired youth wearing a white suit looked at them as if they were dead.
A cold aura emanated subtly from his body.
“What a coincidence.”
Ice Snake looked at Mu Fan ten meters away, his mouth suddenly curved upwards, and then an overwhelming killing intent assaulted without restraint!
“Yes, really…”
Mu Fan smiled insincerely, standing firm.
The next moment, Ice Snake’s right hand suddenly spread open like a claw!
The arm made a motion of grabbing at the void, then violently hurled forward!
An ice spike over three meters long suddenly materialized in the air, streaking an icy blue light trail as it violently shot toward Mu Fan!
At this moment, his face and head turned to frost, his gaze cold, indifferent, and ruthless like it had been frozen for a century.
This unexpected change stunned everyone around.
Just as the expressions of bystanders began to change, with a boom, an explosive sound rang out.
Mu Fan’s right hand instantly reversed in mid-air, tracing a dark golden afterimage.
The dazzling ice cone caught in the sunlight abruptly exploded into powder two meters in front of him.
In that indifferent gaze, Mu Fan’s single-hand muscles bulged, gripping a Dark Gold Short Stick in his palm.
Amidst the swirling ice shards.
Mu Fan’s eye corner narrowed, his right leg’s Ghost Energy swiftly infused.
As he forcefully stomped down, his whole body thundered forward.
Leaping rush in single step!
Interlacing Steps shifted.
With his waist twisting like a tightly coiled tendon, his right leg lashed out like a spring-loaded saber.
This speed surpassed everyone’s imagination, some hadn’t even anticipated that Mu Fan would execute a counterattack the moment the opponent attacked!
And compared to Ice Snake, the tattered Mu Fan was even more silent, his attack more violent.
Instantly in the air appeared a block of superior ice two meters square, over ten centimeters thick.
Boom!
Like a missile plunging into ice, the entire block of ice abruptly spawned countless web-like cracks.
Though the ice block didn’t shatter, it carried the white-suited figure behind it flying horizontally over ten meters.
Its trajectory was straight and forceful.
With a thud.
Amidst the huge reverberation, a plume of dust over five meters high rose from the rocky wall of a nearby hardware repair shop.
Landing, Mu Fan looked there unmovingly, expressionless.
Only then did people around realize what had happened.
Then the whole street erupted in a clamorous uproar.
Some of the feebler ones hurried away into nearby shops, even fleeing without a backward glance.
Bolder ones stood far away in clusters, their faces filled with shock as they looked at the rocky wall, the countless fine ice shards in the air shocking them to their core.
No words could compare to the dazzling spectacle that had just unfolded before their eyes.
And at the city gate, Roy’s jaw was wide open, unable to close.
