Chapter 101: Sowing Discord

The sounds of metal clashing kept ringing, clear and sharp.

While he was in recovery, Fang Xiu had spent loads of spiritual coins to make these new throwing knives. They were made of Mind Steel, from those Wang Yanran had left behind.

These knives could conduct spiritual energy well, and they were tough and sharp. They were weaker than spiritual energy bullets, so they kept getting knocked away. But every time after getting hit, they'd flip around like they were alive and go right back at those bullets.

In just a short moment, all the spiritual energy bullets were knocked down.

Scarface was totally shocked, "Your knives can turn corners?!"

Ma Wenbin, standing nearby, saw what was up. He shouted, "It's his silver hair! Every knife is connected to a strand of his silver hair!"Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"Darn it! What's up with his hair? It's like it can do anything!" Scarface cursed.

Fang Xiu's hair could control people, attack, defend, and even handle knives. It was like some kind of superpower they had never seen before.

Ma Wenbin, a second-tier psychic, figured it out right away. "His hair isn't a psychic power. It's a Specter, the possessing kind!"

"What!? A Specter!? He's got a Specter attached to him, is he even human anymore?"

Ma Wenbin didn't answer because Fang Xiu was already charging at them. He had this shiny scalpel in his hand, his silver hair flowing as he ran, and behind him were dozens of roaring Specter Slaves.

It seemed like the three were surrounded, even though they were in their own territory.

Suddenly, Fang Xiu vanished.

Seconds later, he appeared like a shadow on the wall of the corridor, running super fast, sticking close to the wall.

Sparks flew from his scalpel as it scraped against the wall.

From inside the blood shield, Ma Wenbin sneered, "Fang Xiu, that's all you've got? You can't touch me!"

Fang Xiu replied calmly, "Oh really? How long do you think you can protect those two weaklings? Bigger defense means more energy drain. I just have to keep attacking, and you're burning three times the energy to defend."

Ma Wenbin's face darkened. Fang Xiu was right. If it was just him, he wouldn't be using so much energy. He could even counterattack. But now, protecting his two sidekicks, his energy was draining faster, and he could only take hits like a sandbag.

If this kept up, once his spiritual energy ran out, he'd be dead.

All the while, Fang Xiu didn't stop his attack. The maimed Specter Slaves kept charging at the blood bubble, fearless.

Fang Xiu's silver hair kept shooting, causing ripples on the blood shield. It was like a battle of enduranceMa Wenbin defending with all he had, and Fang Xiu relentlessly attacking.

"Give up already. Let go of those two burdens. It's not worth risking your life for them," Fang Xiu's voice penetrated the blood bubble, sounding like a devil tempting him.

Ma Wenbin's two sidekicks looked terrified hearing this. "Boss, please don't listen to him! We're your most loyal men. Don't abandon us!"

Ma Wenbin's expression shifted, appearing somewhat contemplative as if he was considering it.

Then, Fang Xiu added, "I'm only after Ma Wenbin. If you two turn on him now and help me take him down, I'll let you go. I could even get you into the Investigation Bureau."

The three men's faces all changed upon hearing this.

"Fang Xiu! You think we'd fall for your trick?" Ma Wenbin yelled. He then turned to his men, "Don't worry, I won't abandon you. Remember our pledge when we joined the club? The Bright Club only exists as long as you're here."

Zhao's eyes showed a flicker of gratitude, but in a split second, a blood arrow pierced his heart. Scarface too was impaled. Their blood flowed out, all moving toward Ma Wenbin.

"How could you!" they cried out, eyes filled with anguish.

Ma Wenbin, however, smiled, "Don't blame me for this. Blame Fang Xiu. Protecting you two would have been my end. Better to use your blood to strengthen myself and avenge you. As for Bright Club? Sorry, it survives only as long as I do."

As he spoke, the blood shield faded away, revealing a blood-drenched Ma Wenbin and his two dying subordinates."
