Kaito took out a cigarette and lit it.
After taking a puff, he smiled at the ongoing battle scene around him and at Zhao Hao, whose path was blocked.
At some point, the ice chairs and table had been replaced with rock.
The gravitational pressure didn't bother Kaito at all, and the ice spreading over him had shattered completely.
"...It seems I underestimated you, young friend."
Zhao Hao slowly turned around, took a deep drag from the cigar in his mouth, and exhaled a plume of smoke.
King faced king, they stared at each other, while the fighting continued around them.
The villa's garden was fortunately large enough, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to maneuver.
Kaito had also manifested a shield. After all, people were attacking him; his subordinates weren't foolish!
But all their attacks were blocked by the shield, unable to penetrate his defense!
"You, an ant, how could you possibly understand me?"
Without changing his posture, facing Zhao Hao, Kaito simply raised his right hand slowly.
Instantly!!
A large number of earthen spikes erupted from the ground!
Sssshhh sssshhh sssshhh sssshhh!!!
Most of the people fighting in the courtyard were caught off guard and impaled, dying instantly!
The remaining few were either grabbed by plants or killed by the women's various abilities.
Even a giant tiger, painted in ink-wash style, appeared. After slapping away enemies near Kaito, it sat silently beside him, growling, glaring at Zhao Hao.
In that short time, almost all of Zhao Hao's men were wiped out!
Only a few of his capable subordinates survived and regrouped around Zhao Hao!
Zhao Hao also witnessed Kaito's power. That move nearly killed all his men, which undoubtedly enraged him.
These were his personal guard!
His trusted confidants!
And now only a few were left. When he returned, the other three bosses would surely devour him!
"Well, are you satisfied with this outcome?"
Kaito took a drag of his cigarette and smiled at Zhao Hao, whose face had darkened beyond measure.
Having prepared thoroughly, pulling off this move was easy.
One area-of-effect attack took out the minions; now they just needed to deal with the slightly stronger ones.
From the looks of it, the few remaining were probably third-grade or higher superpowered individuals, and that female ice user might even be fourth-grade.
On Kaito's side, after soaking in crystals for several days, his attributes had reached third-grade, while the other women were close to second-grade.
At first glance, didn't that mean Kaito was doomed?
"Satisfied? I'm very satisfied."
"So satisfied that I wish I could make you experience something worse than death!"
The murderous intent emanating from him made even his own subordinates tremble in fear. As Zhao Hao suddenly raised his right hand and clenched his fist, gravity once again descended upon Kaito.
This time, the force was like ten tons suddenly crashing down on Kaito's head!
But...
Another shield on Kaito completely absorbed it!!
"Gravity is indeed a very useful ability."
"But... that's about all it is."
Although he was fine, the rock chair he was sitting on crumbled.
Reluctantly, after his last puff, Kaito slowly stood up and casually tossed the cigarette butt away. A long, straight rock sword appeared in his hand.
"Maybe killing you will bring retaliation?"
"But the truth is, we also plan to uproot your organization."
Kaito smiled.
If it weren't for the mission, he wouldn't even bother.
But since the mission was there, he had to kill them. They were bad guys anyway. Why leave them alive?
As for the officials' side, Kaito would also make contact, as there were other missions to complete.
"Damn... are you a dual ability user!?"
He had seen the rock manipulation ability.
But what was that shield!?
How could it block his gravity!?
"Well, you can ask the King of Hell. Maybe he'll give you the answer?"
With a strong step, Kaito charged towards Zhao Hao and his group.
Those around Zhao Hao immediately counterattacked. The female ice user, stepping forward, created an ice shield to block...
Crack—!!!!
With a full-force horizontal slash, the ice shield was cleanly cut through. The others trying to counterattack were also instantly cut in half!
Only the female ice user who created the shield narrowly escaped!
However, ice spread under Kaito's feet, forming icicles trying to pierce him. At the same time, an even more terrifying gravitational force slammed down on his head.
The combination of these abilities was, he had to admit, very strong.
Crack—
Kaito's shield broke.
But then, an even thicker Jade Shield appeared.
Unaffected, Kaito, with a healthy smile, sliced away the obstructing icicles and walked step by step towards Zhao Hao and the female ice user.
"You... kid! Don't burn your bridges! Don't be so ruthless!"
"If you kill me, the Wuming City United Chamber of Commerce won't let you go! I don't believe you can take on 3000 people!!"
He was panicking, he was really panicking!
As Kaito approached step by step, Zhao Hao and the female ice user used every ability they had to attack Kaito, but all were defended against by the Jade Shield!!
"What you say is true. One shouldn't burn bridges. However... knowing who to spare and who not to spare, that's something I understand."
"Besides, didn't I tell you?"
"Even if you didn't come looking for me, I would have come looking for you~"
"You can only blame yourself for being the villain, right?"
"Hehehehe hahahaha!!"
A terrifying smile appeared on Kaito's face. The moment the corners of his mouth curled up, Zhao Hao felt the threat of true death!
And when Kaito started laughing, it was like the voice of a death god echoing in his mind, filling him with despair and terror!
"Tch, whatever! I don't believe you can—"
Swoosh—!!!!
The power of a fifth-grade powerhouse unleashed, it was strong!
