Chapter 481: Madam’s Assessment Failed
Looking at Number Nine’s operation, Tang Ze was quite amazed. To have a black ore weapon in her body, this should be beneficial for absorbing the virus. The company was really playing at a new height.
Ji Lan, at this moment, her heart had sunk to the bottom. She had thought the other party would be very formidable, but she hadn’t expected them to be this strong. The explosion just now had injured her, yet she had recovered so quickly.
And she herself had been slightly injured in the explosion just now. Her body had also become a little weak…
If it weren’t for Tang Ze installing a blue body enhancement before, Ji Lan would probably not just be weak now.
And Number Nine’s physical strength, Tang Ze felt it should have almost reached the level of a blue body enhancement. With the ability to regenerate, it could be compared to a blue body enhancement, and was even better in some aspects.
After all, Number Nine was a person of research and development. She would more or less definitely have an advantage.
The madam’s strength had been maxed out for her. If she could defeat Number Nine under these circumstances, then she would indeed have the ability to be a group leader.
The current group leader selection was stricter than before. Compared to Tang Ruyan, at that time, she could use the selfishness of various forces to achieve her own goals.
And what the madam was facing now was a proper powerhouse. She could only defeat her with strength. There were no small tricks.
Number Nine was not an evenly matched opponent but belonged to a higher-level battle.
So Tang Ze also saw that the company wanted to guard against him. Perhaps it was the thought of getting rid of him.
“Come on. What are you still hesitating for?”
Ji Lan took a deep breath. The metal scraps on the ground slowly rose. Now she could only fight her.
Number Nine fiercely swung her knife at her side, actually cutting a twenty-meter-long crack. With a slight tilt of her head, Number Nine shot out. The ground was even stomped into a large crater.
Ji Lan could only condense the metal scraps together, turning them into a large knife and chopping down!
But Number Nine just casually swung her hand, and the condensed large metal knife was instantly scattered.
Ji Lan couldn’t believe she had broken it so easily. She could only adopt a defensive stance to deal with this one blow.
The metal scraps condensed into a thick shield in front of her chest. Ji Lan tried to enter the blood demon state again. The black hair gradually turned red, but in a moment, it turned black again. She simply couldn’t enter the blood demon state again.
Tang Ze also discovered Ji Lan’s situation. Although her blood demon physique was self-comprehended and was also rated as a red-level card strength, it seemed a bit lacking in endurance. Like the devil state of the third group, it could last for a long time, even for a whole night of labor.
So there was only one explanation.
The system’s product was a high-quality product. The self-comprehended one was slightly inferior.
“Die,” Number Nine said softly.
The black knife was like cutting tofu. It broke the condensed shield, revealing Ji Lan’s panicked eyes.
This one blow was enough to split Ji Lan in two.
With a boom, a hundred-meter-long crack formed. This simple and unadorned slash was too terrifying.
But Number Nine looked at the disappearing Ji Lan before her. Her head slightly turned to the side. “You can’t bear to see her die?”
Tang Ze supported the dazed Ji Lan. “Indeed, I can’t.”
“I said, she’s not good enough. It’s better for you to come. Let me see how strong the company’s number one wanted man is.”
With that, she pointed her knife at Tang Ze.
Tang Ze supported Ji Lan’s slender shoulder and said softly, “Don’t mention being a group leader in the future.”
Ji Lan didn’t speak. Her entire presence disappeared in an instant, becoming slightly dejected.
So, don’t set a flag too early. This thing is really poisonous.
“Let me see the strength of your team members.”
Tang Ze tore open a spatial rift.
Lu Yudié walked out in a pure white nightgown, holding a tachi in her right hand. Her cold and elegant face even made Number Nine show a hint of envy. Ji Lan was even more incredulous. She had thought her own appearance was not bad, but this one team member was more beautiful than herself.
“Master.” Lu Yudié came to Tang Ze’s side and called out.
Tang Ze held Lu Yudié in his arms and said with a smile, “Did you miss me?”
“Yes,” Lu Yudié said, closing her eyes and enjoying this brief embrace.
But she was still as sparing with her words as gold. If she could say one word, she would absolutely not say two.
Ji Lan was even more hit by an unprecedented blow. She didn’t even look at her properly…
“Go and defeat the woman opposite.”
“Alright.”
Lu Yudié reluctantly left Tang Ze’s embrace and faced Number Nine.
Her finger suddenly flicked. A crisp sound of a knife being drawn was heard. Number Nine’s eyes focused. She fiercely leaped backward but saw her own arm fall to the ground. She immediately showed an incredulous expression.
Let alone Number Nine, Ji Lan was also staring with her red lips agape. She had struggled so hard, yet she… she… she was so relaxed…
“Madam, actually, being a maid is not bad. She has gone through things even more miserable than you. But she is now just a member of the second group.”
Ji Lan didn’t speak. Before, she had thought they wouldn’t be much stronger. But now it seemed she had thought too much…
A sense of defeat and blow immediately welled up in her heart. The confidence in her eyes seemed to have been shattered.
But the current Number Nine was no better off.
The severed arm immediately regenerated. This made Lu Yudié’s elegant brow arch. Her whole person charged up again.
Number Nine’s hair stood on end. The black knife in her hand slashed at the air!
Clang!
The piercing sound of the sword made even Ji Lan unable to bear it. One could even clearly see a wave of air fiercely spreading out.
Number Nine’s entire right arm was trembling. She even saw a faint crack appear on her black ore blade. And the woman before her, besides showing an emotional fluctuation when she looked at Tang Ze, was now very calm.
The two women had no more conversation, because it was all in their eyes.
“Hah!”
Number Nine’s blood vessels bulged. Her two pupils turned blue. And her pupils were even vertical, like a feline.
Her entire strength and speed rose another level.
But it still couldn’t make Lu Yudié’s expression fluctuate.
In the dark night, the collision between the blades bloomed with dazzling firelight. Each collision produced a strong airwave. Ji Lan couldn’t even track the speed of the two of them. This was simply a top-tier battle.
Of course, that was for Number Nine. For Lu Yudié, it was just playing around.
As the two of them separated, Lu Yudié’s white nightgown was completely intact. On the other hand, Number Nine’s black ore-forged knife was only half a section left. And that half a section was about to crack. Her whole body was covered in sword wounds, just cutting the flesh, the precision of control was very good.
Ji Lan collapsed to the ground, hit too hard. She felt her worldview had collapsed.
At the same time, Number Nine herself.
She couldn’t believe she couldn’t beat her!
“Ah!”
Number Nine roared in anger. Her body gradually exuded a black substance. This substance enveloped Number Nine, making her look as if she were wearing a black rubber suit. But her mouth full of fangs was a little, uh…
“Yudié, hurry up and finish.”
Tang Ze shouted. This should be Number Nine’s main body. Her level was probably close to 30. He didn’t quite appreciate this state. Hurry up and finish.
“Yes.”
Number Nine let out a furious hiss. It seemed she had already lost her ability to speak. But it could still be faintly heard.
This battle was not something you could end just by saying so!
Instantly, she attacked Lu Yudié, wanting to tear her to shreds.
But Lu Yudié just quickly drew her sword, then sheathed it, turned, and bowed slightly to Tang Ze, indicating the mission was complete.
And Number Nine behind her seemed to be frozen. Suddenly, countless blood spurted from her body. She fell from the air and slammed hard onto the ground.
Tang Ze put his hands in his pockets and walked toward Number Nine. The black substance had disappeared. Her delicate body was covered in sword wounds. It seemed she also couldn’t regenerate.
Lifting his foot, he stepped on Number Nine’s beautiful face. “Lying to me is not a wise choice.”
