Chapter 724: Three Against One

Chapter 724 – Three Against One

Zhang Ye stepped back to the edge of the training field and said casually, “Everyone else, clear out.”

The members of the Black Robe Squad immediately left the training field. Liang Yue also took Yang Xinxin with her and exited.

The huge training field was now left with only Zhang Ye and the three—Ye He, Xue Miao, and Lu Yinghao.

“My time’s pretty valuable. I’m too lazy to go to the combat arena. Let’s just fight here.”

“Let’s get this over with so I can clock out.”

Zhang Ye turned to look at them, completely unconcerned.

In truth, the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms had already activated around him, forming a flawless, gapless defense.

The three glanced at one another.

Ye He lowered his voice, “Three of us against one—there’s no way we lose! If we beat him, he won’t have the face to stay on as captain. Who knows, maybe we’ll get a shot at reclaiming our place in the Celestial Hound Squad.”

Xue Miao frowned. “But we don’t know anything about this guy. He might’ve gotten our files through upper management. That gives him a huge edge!”

“That’s exactly why we’re going three-on-one!” Ye He insisted. “As long as we work together, we can beat anyone below captain level!”

The three of them hyped each other up, determined to defeat Zhang Ye here and earn back some pride. Even if they got kicked out of the squad, a good fight would boost their rep and help them get into other organizations.

Zhang Ye watched the three whispering and strategizing, a mocking smirk tugging at his lips.

“Ready?”

The three locked their sights on him.

“Go!”

Ye He shouted.

Lu Yinghao made the first move.

He pressed the tips of his fingers together and stabbed them into the waists of Ye He and Xue Miao.

[Poison Medic] Lu Yinghao, a Special Trait ability user.

His bodily fluids could become deadly poison—or a strengthening tonic.

Right as the fight began, he injected both teammates with Adrenaline, massively boosting their physical intensity, making them faster, sharper, and significantly more responsive on all levels.

He himself also received the full enhancement.

With the buff, Xue Miao pulled a glowing blue dagger from the tactical bag on his back.

A roaring whirlwind surged around him, enclosing all three in a swirling storm.

Zhang Ye didn’t budge—he even leisurely reached into his dimensional space and pulled out his twin silver pistols: White Owl.

Thinking for a moment, he loaded them with Sacred Silver Bullets.

As he was loading, a violent gale swept toward him. The entire training field was engulfed in chaos.

The raging wind distorted visibility, churning the air like a sandstorm.

Riding the wind, Xue Miao closed in on Zhang Ye in an instant.

Xue Miao, a Release-type ability user, codename Windstrider, could manipulate storms and excelled in assassination.

Using the wind’s momentum, he was instantly at Zhang Ye’s back.

The glowing blue dagger in his hand stabbed straight for Zhang Ye’s spine!

Zhang Ye didn’t even flinch—didn’t turn, didn’t react.

But in the next second, the dagger stabbed into empty air. Its tip vanished into thin space.

“Huh?!”

Xue Miao’s pupils contracted sharply—he sensed danger.

But he was too fast. His entire right arm had already entered Zhang Ye’s dimensional space.

“Sh*t!”

Xue Miao’s heart sank. He tried to retreat immediately. He didn’t know exactly what Zhang Ye’s ability was, but his instincts screamed that stepping into that strange space spelled disaster.

At that moment, a black gun barrel was already pointed at his head.

Zhang Ye still hadn’t turned around. The muzzle of White Owl was aimed directly at his skull—and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

“D*mn it!”

Gritting his teeth, Xue Miao whipped up another fierce gust. His figure vanished in an instant, reappearing dozens of meters away.

Bang!

The gunshot echoed across the training field, the bullet slamming into a distant wall with a burst of sparks.

Xue Miao’s eyes narrowed. “A spatial ability? I can’t even get close—how the hell am I supposed to fight that?”

He was an assassin. Speed and elusive movement were his greatest weapons for one-hit kills.

But Zhang Ye was his perfect counter.

“There has to be a weakness. I just need to find his opening…”

That was Xue Miao’s only hope.

Zhang Ye, however, just smirked as he watched him flee in a panic.

“That shot was just a warning.”

Honestly, he’d almost killed Xue Miao just now.

Zhang Ye had a natural sensitivity to attacks from behind. But right before he pulled the trigger, he remembered—it’d be a real pain if any of these guys actually died.

So, he didn’t activate his 20x speed enhancement.

If he had, then within seven steps, his shots would’ve been instant and dead-on. No matter how fast Xue Miao was, he wouldn’t have made it.

“A little scare should be enough.”

Zhang Ye was unusually merciful this time.

Xue Miao quickly relayed his observation to Ye He and Lu Yinghao.

“His ability’s weird—definitely spatial. My close-range attack was completely nullified!”

Zhang Ye’s dimensional space couldn’t actively attack or absorb living beings on its own.

But if someone entered it voluntarily, their life or death would be fully in his hands.

If Xue Miao hadn’t reacted so fast, he would’ve been toast.

Hearing this, Lu Yinghao said in a low voice, “Let me test him.”

He pulled out a dagger and swiftly sliced his own palm.

A slash appeared, but no blood flowed.

Instead, mist-like blood clouds burst out from the wound like a swarm of insects, forming a crimson fog that rushed toward Zhang Ye with the wind!

Lu Yinghao’s blood could transform into a deadly toxin.

It didn’t need to draw blood—just a touch on skin was enough to seep in and kill instantly.

In seconds, the red mist completely enveloped Zhang Ye.

Lu Yinghao was trying to probe for Zhang Ye’s weak point.

But Zhang Ye remained calm as a still lake. He slowly raised both hands and started shooting his White Owls at them.

As long as he didn’t kill them, no matter how badly they were injured, the Blizzard City Medical Center could patch them up.

So what if he crippled them?

The red mist was completely sucked into Zhang Ye’s dimensional space, not harming him in the slightest.

But the Sacred Silver Bullets—bright silver streaks of light—pierced right through the storm and shot at the trio with deadly precision!

These bullets, empowered by pinpoint aim and a twentyfold speed boost, were practically a long-range death sentence!

Even elite Delta-level superhumans wouldn’t dare take that hit head-on!
