Endless Debt-Chapter 175 - 119 Tiger Eye

Hawkins’ corpse lay in the rainy night, much like Polly, easily sliced into pieces by the Blade-Biting Wolf. Some doubted the sharpness of that sword blade; it was so sharp that it felt as if influenced by Secret Energy.

It’s quite common to cover matter with Secret Energy. Jia Meng had encountered similar cases where they bestowed bullets with absolute "penetration," allowing them to pierce through all obstacles to assassinate their targets.

But Jia Meng understood that this wasn’t Secret Energy, but Ethereal Skill. These Blade-Biting Wolves are the Domination Objects of Lebius. Not only are they covered in Ethereal Concealment, which hides traces and fluctuations, but they also maintain powerful Ethereal Amplification at all times, granting steel with speed and immense power.

The reason Hawkins and Polly died so decisively without resistance was simply the sword of the Blade-Biting Wolf was too fast and too strong. Not to mention flesh and blood, even steel would crumble under the blade.

From the brief encounter with the Blade-Biting Wolves, Jia Meng could clearly feel that if the weapon in his hand wasn’t the Secret Sword, but any ordinary metal weapon, the Blade-Biting Wolves would have already severed him and the weapon together.

"Damn it..."

Jia Meng sighed, even feeling that what was happening before him was beyond the realm of normality.

According to reason, the high-tier Condensers of the Order Bureau are appointed fixed tasks. Apart from these, they handle more troublesome tasks. They wouldn’t send such a powerful Condenser to undertake night patrol tasks.

Soldier against soldier, king against king, it should be like this, but Jia Meng seemed unlucky, encountering such a strong enemy here.

Was this guy hungry and came out for a midnight snack? How could that be? Their encounter seemed too coincidental.

The man before his eyes was not someone Jia Meng could handle. In the brief moments of confrontation, the power he showed already made Jia Meng feel suffocated.

It’s hard to imagine to what extent Lebius has mastered Ethereal Skill. He consistently maintains the activation of two Ethereal Skills and covers them on so many Blade-Biting Wolves.

He alone is a wolf pack.

Having lost two lives, what was learned was merely Ethereal Skill, and Jia Meng knew nothing about the effects of Lebius’ Secret Energy.

This was not an unfavorable beginning; more like they were under the surveillance of the Order Bureau from the start, until this moment when the net closed, trapping everyone inside.

"Captain, what should we do?"

Another team member asked with a shaky voice; their passion for the mission had been extinguished by the harsh reality. Now they just wanted to survive.

What should they do?

Jia Meng surveyed the surroundings. The wolf pack had them surrounded; in alleys, streets, rooftops, the fierce sharp figures were visible, with eerie blue light emanating from beneath the cold Iron Armor.

"Full assault, kill the Condenser," Jia Meng said in a deep voice, "Even though the wolf pack surrounds us, they are all too far from the Condenser. Only two are beside him protecting him." free𝑤ebnovel.com

Once the encirclement tightens, what Jia Meng has to face is a chaotic battle with the wolf pack. He didn’t believe he could break out from it, but if they focused their target on Lebius, using all their might before the wolf pack arrived, there might be a slim chance of success.

In the encirclement, the position where Lebius was located was undoubtedly the weakest. Even if they couldn’t kill him, they could use this chance to break through.

As for traps, there’s no time to think about traps now. Staying put would lead to a dead end.

Surrender?

Jia Meng hadn’t thought of surrendering, nor did the team members. They were very clear about their mission, even in death, they would take secrets to the grave.

Without any sign, the fierce Ethereal reaction first appeared on Jia Meng, followed by the Alchemy Matrix of the rest of the team igniting.

The time for their action was not abundant, the wolf pack was moving quickly too. Jia Meng’s opportunity was fleeting; if their assault could be a step ahead of the wolf pack, their chances of success would greatly increase.

"Kill him!"

Jia Meng commanded, and the team members charged towards Lebius, simultaneously releasing Secret Energy. Different forces from their various schools acted upon reality, resembling a mad dream descending upon the world.

First was the flames burning on the blade, the extreme heat turning the Sword Body red-hot, allowing the blade to easily melt steel. Next were birds appearing out of nowhere, accompanied by sharp cries, sound waves striking Lebius, while the ground cracked, with fissures advancing towards Lebius’ feet.

That was another of Jia Meng’s chances for victory. Although the opponent was powerful, his Secret Energy was still singular. Under the different Secret Energy applied by their team, they might still have the chance to turn the tables.

The wolf pack also lunged forward at this moment, but as they were about to get close to the team, their speed abruptly slowed down, as if they fell into an invisible mire.

This was the Secret Energy of another person in the team. As a First Stage Condenser, he was not prominent in the team, but in such an environment, his Secret Energy played a huge role.

Jia Meng felt he was about to win. He was getting closer to Lebius, the radiance on Jia Meng was becoming more dazzling, even an ethereal figure appeared behind him.

The towering presence resembling a ghost or deity made the same move as Jia Meng, raising a long blade capable of cleaving tall buildings, intent on splitting the tiny Lebius in two.
