Chapter 917: Surging Combat Power!

…Meanwhile, Ling Mo withdrew his gaze and immediately had the main body get up and walk to the window. As he looked outside, he frowned and thought, “Could I have been wrong…” A moment later, he turned and headed downstairs. “No, that feeling just now… it was so real!”

Peering at the small building through Ye Lian’s perspective, Ling Mo suddenly sensed a dangerous vibe. It was as if cold water had been poured over him, snapping him to attention. During his observations, he abruptly noticed a detail he had previously overlooked.

“What they aim to do might not actually be to wait for us to clear the way!”

If they were simply waiting for Ling Mo and the others to make a move, then from the moment they stepped out of the small building, their movements would become uncontrollable. As for why they came to Rosen Company and what they intended to do, those were plans the other party could never predict. Such a scenario would be unacceptable to a team that had been planning for so long.

If they wanted to fully seize initiative, there was only one option…

“How risky! I can’t believe I didn’t think of this before! But these people… they’re just too cunning. If I hadn’t looked at this from a different angle, I might have been completely fooled… That guy stationed on the street, his role isn’t just surveillance-nor merely bait either…”

At the exact moment Ling Mo was swiftly heading downstairs, two figures in the alley were completely entangled in combat.

Silver threads whipped around Yu Shiran in an endless flurry, while she fully unleashed her advantages of speed and strength. But despite her seemingly frail frame, Butterfly displayed exceptional reflexes. She often dodged the whirling threads without even looking at them, her feet moving instinctively to evade.

At the same time, a low, intermittent laugh escaped her lips amidst the rapid dodging. “Wow, wow, wow. You seem pretty angry! But I was caught off guard too. I didn’t expect the one left behind to handle me would be a seven-year-old little girl… Makes sense though, only kids would like those fuzzy little pets that are basically useless…”

“Who’s seven years old?!” Yu Shiran exploded with fury.

The taunting tone and casual attitude of her opponent thoroughly irritated Yu Shiran. But what truly unsettled her was the incessant chatter from this woman that gave her no moment of peace.

“Oh no, that was close! So scary, I almost got hit by you! Wow, wow, wow, close again! Honestly, this won’t work at all. If this keeps up, your pet is going to get killed. My boss isn’t as gentle as I am, you know. The moment he makes a move, he goes all out…”

In under a minute, the two had exchanged blows hundreds of times, and the ground around them had silently become riddled with craters and cracks. Yu Shiran’s attacks were growing faster and faster, yet Butterfly managed to avoid them effortlessly every time, emerging completely unscathed. Despite her seamless dodging, Butterfly never retaliated. Her hands remained tucked inside her pockets the entire time.

“Oh, by the way, your boss is the one hiding inside that little building, right? I didn’t expect them to secretly send a little sister like you to probe us… What a pity, though. Your luck ran out-you ran into us first. Haha, just kidding, it’s probably us who ran into you, huh? Impressive, though. You actually managed to detect us… But to think about it, that’s kind of tragic on its own.”

“Enough already! Get out of the way!”

Worrying about Xiao Bai, Yu Shiran couldn’t hold back anymore and let out a soft but firm cry. The silver thread before her instantly converged into a single whip-like strand, shooting toward Butterfly like a lightning bolt just as she steadied herself.

At the same time, Yu Shiran kicked hard against the ground, her body launching forward like a cannonball. Her right hand shot out, claws aimed directly at Butterfly’s chest.

The sheer force of her sudden attack was overwhelming. From the silver thread to her punch, it carried an unstoppable momentum.

Yet, just as the two were about to collide, Yu Shiran suddenly felt her vision blur. In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow appeared above her.

“I wasn’t finished talking… I may be gentle, but I still enjoy smashing the enemies in front of me… But since it’s you, I’ll leave you with a breath of life. After all, I plan to use you to have some fun with you and your boss…” ȓáꞐο𝐁Ès̩

Butterfly’s words came quickly, but her movements were even quicker.

Almost the moment Yu Shiran sensed something was wrong, Butterfly’s hand shot out from her pocket.

As soon as her hand was unleashed, the alley seemed to darken, as though a half-translucent black wing had unfurled in its space. The “wing” rose sharply into the air and then descended with a fierce flap toward Yu Shiran!

It was a hand, charred black as if burned to ash, and yet the skin’s surface looked eerily intact. Countless blood-red veins crisscrossed over it, creating the illusion of innumerable butterflies layered on top of one another.

Without hesitation, Butterfly’s hand slammed toward Yu Shiran’s head, forcing it downward with brutal speed and smashing it mercilessly against the ground.

“You look quite adorable, you know. I bet you’d still look pretty cute as a broken doll,” Butterfly said with a soft laugh. Her movements were light and effortless, her body suspended mid-air as if she weighed nothing. But in the instant her palm came down, an immense force suddenly erupted from it. The red veins on her hand swelled up violently, as if the “butterflies” embedded in her skin were about to burst out, ready to spread their wings and take flight!

“This move has a name, you know… It’s kind of fun-I came up with it myself. I call it Metamorphosis.”

Bang!

A dull thud echoed through the alley.

Pa!

Butterfly landed lightly on the ground, her knees slightly bent, maintaining the position of her right hand pressed firmly against Yu Shiran’s head.

However, her triumphant smile quickly froze. Her right hand began to tremble ever so slightly.

The blood-red veins crawling along her palm extended quickly, disappearing under her sleeve, only to surface again on the skin of her neck. Beads of sweat broke out across her forehead, glistening under the dim light.

“Who are you calling…”

A soft, loli-like voice suddenly cut through the tense atmosphere. The small, slender figure that Butterfly had seemingly smashed into the ground began to stir.

Under Butterfly’s increasingly horrified gaze, Yu Shiran’s upper body started to rise-slowly, deliberately. Her hands pushed against the ground, holding herself up. However, her face remained at a distance from the dirt-it had never actually made contact. The devastating smash had failed to drive her head into the ground. In fact, she appeared entirely unscathed.

At the same time, the silver thread surrounding her twitched faintly, creeping silently along her body before inching toward Butterfly’s trembling right hand.

“Who are you calling my boss!”

Yu Shiran’s voice suddenly rose, her tone sharp with indignation. Her small body twisted like a coil spring, shoving Butterfly’s hand aside in one swift movement.

Without hesitation, Yu Shiran launched her own counterattack. Her palm shot toward Butterfly’s chest as she defiantly declared, “Oh, and by the way, this move of mine also has a name. I call it Surging Combat Power! Big sister, you really need a breast enhancement!”
