Layers of soldiers surrounded them from both inside and outside. All the higher-ups had different expressions. The Home Faction was furious, and their killing intent was awe-inspiring. Xiao Jin and the others frowned, looking very confused. Se Qi's Red Island Faction and the North Faction were shocked, not daring to believe it.
"Catch him!" Lagos's face was twisted.
Xiao Jin frowned and interrupted. "There is something fishy about this. Black Phantom came to visit openly. There is no need for him to do something like this."
"What if he wants to mislead us?" a leader of the Northern School said.
"Then why did he visit us? It's better to assassinate us secretly!" Xiao Jin said.
"Our defense is tight. He wants to enter our base smoothly!" someone said.
"He's the murderer. Why are you still finding excuses for him?" Lagos was agitated. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at Han Xiao. Se Qi quickly pulled him back.
"Calm down. Black Phantom has no motive to do this …"
"Motive?" Lagos looked ferocious. He stared at Xiao Jin and gritted his teeth. "No motive?"
Xiao Jin frowned. "You think too much."
The people of Northern School and the Home Sect were in cahoots. They wanted to control Black Phantom, who was the biggest suspect, first and then investigate the clues. Se Qi felt that Black Phantom was too dangerous. He suggested to question Han Xiao on the spot. Lagos immediately stopped him. He felt that Black Phantom's words could not be trusted. They could not agree.
A large number of soldiers surrounded Han Xiao. Several powerful auras secretly locked onto him. When the Overmera leaders were arguing, their attention was always on Han Xiao. Once there was any movement, they would immediately take action.
Han Xiao thought to himself, Framing me will provoke a conflict between the Overmera and the Dark Net. Only the third party can benefit from it. Is this the intention of the mastermind? If I start a massacre, I will fall into his trap. It's all to put me in this troublesome situation.
Han Xiao could escape at any time. He did not care about angering the Overmera, but this was exactly what the mastermind wanted. Escaping was equivalent to admitting to being the scapegoat. Killing people would make enemies, and it was impossible for him to surrender. It seemed that the mastermind's plan was successful.
I've only been here for a day, and he can already fake an assassination method similar to mine. There must be a superhuman who is good at assassination. My arrival gave them the opportunity.
Unless the real culprit was found, no matter how many reasons there were to say that there was no need for him to do so, without solid evidence, he was still the most suspicious person. After all, it was hard to tell what was in a person's heart. If one did not know everything and completely understand the other party, logic could not be used as an absolute basis.
Wait, evidence … Han Xiao had a flash of inspiration. Delot had just been assassinated, and the Overmera people had not thoroughly investigated the scene. The killer might have left some clues at the scene.
At this time, the discussion among the leaders came to a conclusion. Lagos said angrily, "Black Phantom, surrender!"
Xiao Jin added, "If you did not do it, we will investigate thoroughly."
Han Xiao smiled. "You know that's impossible. Why don't you surrender?"
Both parties could not trust each other, so it was impossible for them to take the risk and disarm. This was a difficult situation to solve. However, Han Xiao had an idea and said, "There's no point in this stalemate. I can stay here temporarily. You can send people to monitor me twenty-four hours a day. I'll wait for you to investigate the truth."
Han Xiao was curious about who framed him, and he felt that this was going to be fun.
"This is one way," Se Qi said hurriedly. He did not want a conflict to break out.
Before Lagos could say anything, someone in the crowd opened fire. Han Xiao reacted quickly, and the Magnetically-Controlled Retractable Armor appeared on his body, and the bullet was deflected.
However, this made the nervous soldiers lose control and open fire.
"Open fire!"
A conflict broke out!
Someone shot me! Han Xiao's eyes darkened. The situation was chaotic, but he saw who it was — a normal soldier.
Bullets came from all directions, and Han Xiao could only deal with them first. The strengthened Magnetically-Controlled Retractable Armor had excellent defense. Sparks flew everywhere, but no one could break through his defense.
The energy in his body surged, and he infused it into a round piece of metal on his glove, activating the Compounded Magnetic Chain Split Blades. Seven blades flew out of his pocket and swept out like a tornado. Silver light flashed everywhere, and many soldiers had their gun barrels cut off. They were so scared that they hurriedly stepped back and bumped into their comrades who were surrounding them.
The enemy's firepower weakened, and just as Han Xiao was about to rush toward the soldier who shot him, the superhuman guards hiding in the dark made their move.
Boom!
Suddenly, flames exploded in the crowd. It was not just one, but four. Three Pugilists, and one Esper who could turn into a flaming man, all pounced toward Han Xiao.
The fists wrapped in flames smashed down fiercely.
Boom!
The ground where Han Xiao was originally standing on cracked rapidly, and the wall cracked at the same time. Han Xiao dodged in time and jumped into the air. Suddenly, a heat wave hit him in the face. The flaming man stretched out his hands, and a long serpent-like pillar of fire lashed out.
A person in the air should not be able to dodge, but that did not include him. Han Xiao turned the switch of the [Small Maneuvering Propulsion Device] on his belt, and a few small boxes on the side of the belt made a turbine sound. A strong force came from the belt, and it was as if there was an invisible hand that pulled Han Xiao to the side.
The fire serpent brushed past his back and hit the wall, creating a charred hole.
"Forty-six, forty-eight, and forty-nine, three Pugilists, and one LV 45 Esper. All of them are grade D supers. These should be the high-end combat power left behind by Overmera."
In the past, he would have found it difficult to deal with them, but now that his skills were maxed out and his combat power was even higher, he did not feel much pressure even without the mechanical suit. Han Xiao was more concerned about the soldier who shot him, but he realized that the previous round of fire had hit quite a few of his comrades, and the young soldier who shot him was killed.
Han Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat. He did not believe that this was an accident.
"The person who framed me seems to have deep connections in Overmera. Seeing that I backed down, he purposely attacked me in order to trigger a conflict."
As this thought flashed through his mind, Han Xiao obtained a new clue. He suppressed it in his heart and focused on dealing with the four Supers and soldiers. With a twist of his hands, the sharp blades circled around him like a protective storm, slashing close to ten times per second, instantly causing the three Pugilists close to him to bleed. Wherever the blades passed, the soldiers' weapons would be dismembered. He had used this kind of weapon in his previous life, and he did not need to practice too much. He was an expert at using it. He purposely held back and did not kill anyone.
The Magnetically-Controlled Retractable Armor, Electromagnetic Hover-boots, and other equipment that he carried around with him had all undergone [Precision Enhancement Modification], and their attributes were even higher. Han Xiao's own combat power had also reached the peak because of his skills being maxed out. Facing these four Supers whose levels were lower than his, Han Xiao did not even need Viper. With the Compounded Magnetic Chain Split Blades as his main melee weapon, he could defeat them easily.
Han Xiao's health had already reached 3,800, almost the same as Pugilists of the same level. With the protection of the Magnetically-Controlled Retractable Armor, he was very resilient.
On the other side, the members of the Bamboo Rain Guild witnessed the whole process of Han Xiao defeating a group of soldiers and four Supers. Bamboo Rain Xuan recorded it and was extremely excited.
"Only this kind of material is explosive."
Bamboo Rain Xiao Fei was surprised. "I thought Black Phantom was their VIP guest, but from what they said, it seems like Black Phantom killed their leader. I just checked, and the four NPCs that fought with him were all [Extremely Lethal]. The forum was right, Black Phantom is one of the strongest NPCs."
Bamboo Rain Morning Wind rolled his eyes and said, "Of course, how can an NPC that can give out a main storyline mission not be strong?"
"Shh …" Bamboo Rain Fragrance made a shushing gesture and stared at the scene. "Watch the plot quietly."
…
The destructive power of Supers was far greater than normal people, and the whole mansion collapsed in the fierce battle. The higher-ups had already run out, shocked and angry. More Supers were on their way, and they would definitely be able to kill Black Phantom, provided that the four guards could hold him back.
The sharp blade cut through the flames, and the iron fist collided with the armor. Han Xiao moved around nimbly like a ferret, and his mobility was terrifying. The four Supers were exhausted and could barely hit him once. He showed a weakness and lured a Pugilist into attacking. He counterattacked with the thermo-electric incisor gloves and knocked down one of them. Then, the sharp blade moved like a whirlpool and cut the Esper who controlled fire. His magnetic armor had good heat insulation, so the damage from the flames was limited.
The remaining two people were quickly at a disadvantage.
Chi!
The sharp blade cut through the flesh of the Pugilist and shot out from his body, bringing with it blood. In the end, the Pugilist twitched and could not move anymore.
"Sh * t!" Lagos was shocked. The speed at which Black Phantom dealt with the four guards was beyond his expectations. The backup had not arrived yet, and the ground was in a mess. No one could stop Black Phantom.
If he were to go on a killing spree, the officers would suffer heavy losses, and their vitality would be greatly damaged.
Swoosh! A sharp blade floated in front of Lagos, and he was so scared that he hurriedly stepped back. However, the blade followed him like a shadow until Lagos fell to the ground. His face was filled with shock, anger, and fear.
At this time, Han Xiao suddenly put away the blade, wiped the blood on his face, and said calmly, "I can kill you, but then I will fall into someone else's trap. Our agreement is still the same. I can stay and wait for you to find out the truth. If you insist on capturing me, I don't mind being your enemy."
As he spoke, he hooked his finger, and the blade danced in the air. The threat was obvious.
