Chapter 100: Fierce Fight

CLANG!

The sound of metal clashing rang out.

In a flash, Fang Xiu's hair turned into a waterfall of silver, blocking the attack aimed at his back.

The man was surprised when his attack missed, and he quickly retreated into the fog. He sneered, "You're quite skilled to block my strike, but you won't be so lucky next time. No one can beat me in my fog!"

As he spoke, he moved swiftly around Fang Xiu, his voice echoing from all directions, eerie and unsettling.

"Your eyes, throat, heart, abdomenguess where I'll strike nextouch!" In the midst of his rush, the man suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.

_'What tripped me?' _he wondered, looking down to find a fine silver hair wrapped around his foot. Following the hair, he was shocked to see that the ground around Fang Xiu was covered with a dense network of silver hairs, like a spider's web.

Then, the silver hairs extended, penetrating his eyes, throat, heart, and abdomen.

Just as the man seemed doomed, two clear gunshots rang out.

Two glowing bullets shot rapidly toward Fang Xiu. These were not ordinary bullets but made of Spiritual Energy.

The shooter was Scarface, a former mercenary. He relied on his guns on the battlefield and trusted them completely. After experiencing a Specter event, he awakened the ability to shoot Spiritual Energy bullets.

Facing the incoming Spiritual Energy bullets, Fang Xiu, as if foreseeing them, tilted his head slightly and easily dodged them. His movements were swift and precise, the bullets barely missing his scalp.

Seeing this, Zhao, the man casting the Wanning Curse, was shocked and gasped in disbelief.

In fact, it wasn't Fang Xiu, but his hair, that made him dodge. If the three looked closer, they would find countless fine silver hairs connecting to Fang Xiu's body.

Once again, like controlling a puppet, Fang Xiu was maneuvering his own body. That was why he dodged the attack under the Wanning Curseit was him who got weakened, not his Specter hair.

Scarface saw Fang Xiu dodge the bullets and smirked. With a flick of his fingers, the two Spiritual Energy bullets that had missed Fang Xiu suddenly turned back.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The bullets traced long lines in the fog, heading straight for Fang Xiu.

Just as Scarface thought he had succeeded, Fang Xiu moved sideways like a crab. With just a swift step, he easily dodged the two Spiritual Energy bullets again.

Scarface was almost in disbelief. Dodging the first attack was understandable, and now Fang Xiu dodged bullets that turned midair.

_'How did he see that coming? Is he even human?'_

Moreover, Spiritual Energy bullets, being non-physical, were much faster than regular bullets and incredibly powerful. Only psychics with speed abilities could dodge them, but Fang Xiu, whose speed wasn't that fast, dodged as if he had foreseen the move.

Meanwhile, the man in the fog had quietly died. The silver hair had invaded his body, shredding his organs into a pulp and draining his Spiritual Energy.

The brightness of the silver hair intensified.

_'No wonder Specters feed on human spirits and psychics' Spiritual Energy. It's how they grow stronger.'_

Fang Xiu could feel the hair Specter rejoicing. However, he never intended to make any Specter happy. All he wanted was to see them suffer. Thus, he infused pain into the Hair Specter, causing it to wilt immediately.

After the fog man's death, the mist in the hallway vanished, revealing three people: a sullen Ma Wenbin, Scarface, and Zhao, the scholarly man with glasses.

Fang Xiu calmly said, "You're Bright Club? Just three people?"

His contempt, and fog man's death, drove Ma Wenbin to a rage.

"Kill him!" Ma Wenbin ordered coldly. Nothing else mattered to him now, all he wanted was Fang Xiu's death.

Unfortunately for them, it was still Fang Xiu's lucky day today.

Scarface immediately started firing relentlessly, bullets of Spiritual Energy spraying out.

Fang Xiu, calm and unchanging in his demeanor, steadily walked toward the shooter.

Then, something incredible happened.

Freed from the fog, Fang Xiu's speed increased so much that he left afterimages.

The Spiritual Energy bullets kept passing through these afterimages, unable to touch Fang Xiu at all.

This was also the power of the hair Specter. The silver strands connecting his entire body enhanced his movements, strength, and speed.

Human strength paled in comparison to that of a Specter. A body controlled by the hair Specter could unleash greater strength and speed. However, this required perfect unity between the person and the hair, allowing the hair to move in harmony with the person's will for such precise maneuvers.

Even Wang Erni couldn't achieve this level of control, but Fang Xiu made it. The hair Specter had become an extension of his body, making it more flexible than his fingers.

The Spiritual Energy bullets were powerful, and even the silver strands couldn't resist them. While they wouldn't cause direct injury, Fang Xiu would still feel the impact, causing a delay. Any delay could lead to continuous attacks, so the best strategy was to dodge.

Fang Xiu avoided the first wave of attacks, but the Spiritual Energy bullets turned and came at him again.

This time, under Scarface's control, they formed a dense net, sealing off Fang Xiu's movements and leaving no space to dodge.

At that moment, a dozen knives, glinting with a dark golden light, flew out from Fang Xiu's waist, heading straight toward the Spiritual Energy bullets."
