Pretending To Be A Boss

The longer the delay, the more troublesome it became.

Tang Feiji had already drawn the attention of a large number of Judgment Knights.

Tang Xian thought for a moment and realized that he would surely fight these people in the future, or he would definitely experience a battle standing against humanity.

Lin Jue, the One-Eyed King, Gu Luo, Zhong Xiuran, Qin Qian, and many other hunters began to appear.

Despite their fondness for Masked Chopper Hero, his presence here, alongside the masked monster, meant that the hunters and the guards could not turn a blind eye.

Tang Xian said,

"I'm with him, so what can you do about it? Kill me? If you think you can, go ahead and try. But I must warn you, it will be very painful."

Tang Xian did not want to dawdle on the second floor.

Facing a formidable enemy was like this; if one side didn't make the first move, it was difficult for the other to do so.

Tang Xian made his move.

He launched into the Snake Stance.

"Don't think I won't hit you just because you're handsome!"

The explosive power of the Snake Stance knocked Jiang Ming to the ground in an instant.

It was like the signal to start a battle.

Despite fearing the terrifying strength of Masked Chopper Hero, once the fight commenced, people could not afford to be afraid.

They thought simply: inside Pyramid, the power of Masked Chopper Hero should be greatly reduced.

Lin Jue swung his baseball bat.

The One-Eyed King took quick aim.

Zhong Xiuran looked at the crowd and, rather shamefully, stepped back a few paces.

This was not his style of fighting, so he decided to act as if he had not seen Masked Chopper Hero.

Gu Luo's great sword swung too.

In an instant, a dense crowd of hunters and guards began their assault.

Tang Xian revealed a smile that nearly matched the one on his mask.

"Today, I shall be the enemy of ten thousand!"

With a flick of his finger, Lin Jue's bat flew from his grasp. Tang Xian reduced his force with precise strikes, pulling his punches.

Lin Jue, Qin Qian, Gu Luo—they were among the elite of hunters, and he did his best to restrain himself.

Despite this, in the span of a mere second, his seemingly gentle moves had sent them flying several meters away.

Gu Luo's great sword landed with a thud on Lin Jue's bat.

Tang Xian looked at them, raised his index finger, and gently wagged it.

But before he could finish his cool pose, a gap opened up in front of him, and immediately several throwing knives hurtled his way.

Tang Xian's mind raced, and he caught the flying knives with blazing speed.

Having seen Akasi's skills, catching knives thrown at such speed was a piece of cake for him.

After catching the knives, Tang Xian tossed them back.

At the same time, he unleashed the ability he had obtained from s004.

The knives, on an incredibly unscientific trajectory, quickly returned to their previous users.

Only they didn't return to their sheaths but instead embedded themselves in their shoulders.

Bang! The sound of gunfire erupted.

Tang Xian touched the painful spot on his shoulder.

Though his dynamic vision had greatly improved, he still couldn't defend against a bullet fired from a gun.

The moment the gunshot sounded, the hunters and guards preparing for close combat with Tang Xian swiftly backed off.

They all drew their firearms.

Tang Xian frowned and removed the bullet that had left a mark on his arm.

The greatest damage a human tool could inflict on him was thirty percent of his life.

But long ago, Tang Xian knew that unless someone bombed him with a super-destructive weapon now, it would be difficult to launch an effective attack against him.

Because his life points were very high.

And when it came to the speed of life recovery, perhaps not even calamity-level creatures could compare with him.

He took a step forward.

The sound of gunfire rang out again. This time it was several shots in succession.

Soon it grew more frequent and intense.

The rapid gunfire was like a violent storm.

There were not many who fired, only a few, mainly the guards.

The hunters intended to test their strength against the Masked Chopper Hero, not to kill him.

After all, this man had saved most of the hunters present on different occasions.

So they aimed to wound, not to kill.

But with such a large number, even if only a small fraction was attacking with firearms, they could turn a person into a sieve in an instant.

Tang Xian hadn't become a sieve; he used his palm to block the mask, while his other hand tried to catch bullets empty-handed.

And he actually managed to catch a few. The bullets that hit him did not riddle him with holes but just lodged into his flesh—however, they were quickly shaken off by the moving Masked Chopper Hero.

This sight stunned everyone.

"What kind of body is this? Made of iron? No... made of titanium alloy?"

"Monster! Monster!"

"Even his clothes can't be penetrated... Is it because of the clothes?"

"No... I aimed for the head with every shot..."

The hunters and guards unfolding the attack were all shocked by Tang Xian's action of blocking bullets with his body.

Tang Xian's steps were not fast; only within the range of the 'serpent stance' would he suddenly accelerate.

But after repeating this a few times, the circle surrounding Tang Xian was stretched apart.

No one dared to get close to Tang Xian.

All over the ground of the second-floor street, there were various types of bullet casings.

The downpour of bullets gradually decreased.

Because people finally realized that this was a monster that gunfire couldn't kill.

The smile carved into the mask seemed even more ferocious.

This encirclement lasted for about ten minutes.

Some smart hunters gradually guessed where the Masked Chopper Hero was heading.

Jailbreak.

But even when they realized his purpose and motive, no one could do anything about the Masked Chopper Hero.

They had never seen such a hardcore jailbreak.

Facing the firepower of hundreds of people, nearly a thousand encircled him, he proceeded to jailbreak unscathed and with blatant audacity.

"I need to remind you that I'm only here to take one prisoner away. If you continue to follow me, it's very likely that the civilians over there will all die."

After a pause, the Masked Chopper Hero said,

"Don't get me wrong, my friend doesn't kill the weak or insects, just like I won't kill you. Conversely, if you know what gratitude means, you should remember that I saved you.

'Just because he doesn't kill people doesn't mean the Knight of Judgment won't accidentally injure someone.

'So, do you want to continue cosplaying as human fences in front of me meaninglessly, or will you choose to evacuate the civilians as much as possible? Don't make me regret having saved you before."

Ever since his voice was recognized by Song Que, Tang Xian had started using a falsetto voice after putting on the mask.

His falsetto sounded as if he were straining his voice, sounding quite sinister as if he were a mad scientist obsessed with evil experiments.

Yet these words still persuaded the group.

When Tang Xian approached the prison gates, the hunters with no path of retreat finally chose to clear the way.

Perhaps they were not swayed by Tang Xian's words but overpowered by the sheer strength the Masked Chopper Hero had displayed—

they were physically convinced.

With grappling claws shot out, Tang Xian easily flipped into the prison gates, waving to the hunters outside the gate.

A gesture of farewell.

After all, once he picked up Liu Lang, he planned to use a teleportation rift to head directly to the mining area, and then back to Baichuan City.

But at this moment, Tang Xian could never have expected a blond, blue-eyed, bearded hunter to raise an RPG launcher and fire a rocket.

The rocket exploded, blasting the door open instantly, and the explosion's blast wave swept through in an instant.

As this happened, the hunters nearby the prison reacted quickly, taking emergent measures.

But even so, their bodies couldn't keep up with the speed of the explosion's reach, and people in the distance suddenly saw a hail of flesh and blood, and some surrounding hunters were seriously injured.

Alarm bells rang in the prison instantly.

The hunters and guards all looked towards the prison gate.

Through the flames, a figure emerged from the inferno, the mask burned and twisted.

Although Tang Xian protected it with his hands, the high temperature melted it.

He did not take off the mask but silently picked up a bullet.

With a slight flick.

The bullet instantly traversed the forehead of the hunter holding the rocket launcher at breakneck speed.

"Ten seconds. If you are still here, I'll kill you all."

The bone-chilling voice instilled deep fear in the hunters' souls.

Tang Xian's expression also completely changed, he paused beside the affected hunters, bent down, closed their eyes, and said:

"Ten."

"Nine."

The crowd scattered abruptly, the person who emerged from the explosion and smoke still unharmed.

Seeing this, no one had any courage left to oppose him.

But by the count of four, everyone had already dispersed.

Tang Xian stood up, eyes showing a hint of desolation, he twisted his neck, then turned and headed into the prison.
