God-Level All-rounder Expert-Chapter 618 - 687, The Next One

The helicopter hovered in the night sky, the lights on the rooftop were intense, and because of the live broadcast, Fang Yi, standing atop the roof, was especially dazzling—as if under the spotlight of the masses.

Huo Xiaoxuan fiddled with the live broadcast equipment, and pulled Li Xue into the fray, broadcasting together.

On the stairwell leading to the rooftop, a trembling figure slowly ascended with the support of a young girl.

The old woman’s face was as dry as tree bark, and intentionally or unintentionally, the ceramic pot she carried clinked, emitting a crisp ding-dong sound that added an eerie and mysterious hue to the area.

The old woman, leaning on her walking stick, led the girl to a spot not far away and then stopped, sat down cross-legged, while the girl stood by her side, still as a sculpture.

Fang Yi lit a cigarette and after a short while, more people arrived on the rooftop.

A tall, husky man with an exposed upper body and tightly coiled muscles, appeared full of explosive power. His features were somewhat different from those of Xuan Cang’s people, most likely the barbarian from Lu City that Zhao Guosheng mentioned.

Then, one after another, people reached the rooftop. Fang Yi also saw some familiar faces, Wang Tong and Mo Shu of the White Lotus Sect, following behind a middle-aged man, their eyes fixed on Fang Yi, filled with chilling intent.

The middle-aged man also gave Fang Yi a glance, the corner of his mouth curling in disdain.

The middle-aged man then stopped with Wang Tong and Mo Shu in one spot, acting as spectators, showing no intention of making a move against Fang Yi, but Fang Yi didn’t believe they were just there to watch.

Besides the White Lotus Sect, Su Ge’er and Yanyue also arrived. Su Ge’er flashed a charming smile at Fang Yi, while Yanyue glared at him with beautiful eyes.

What was once an empty rooftop had become abuzz with activity. Fang Yi glanced over these people, their looks ranging from fierce to icy, some with menacing grins, none harboring any good intentions towards him.

And Fang Yi believed that, apart from them, there were undoubtedly many more hidden dangers lurking in the shadows.

Fang Yi had anticipated this and thus was not surprised.

At that moment, an explosion thundered from below the building, somewhere in the middle of the edifice. The blast was powerful, immediately drawing attention from all around.

The helicopter in the night sky quickly steadied itself after a rapid spin, and the armed personnel inside urgently reported, "Alert, alert, radar shows bombs have been installed and deployed throughout the entire building."

This message reached the ears of official commanders and also Li Chun’s.

Li Chun was there to oversee and observe the situation. In the command room, everyone’s expression was grave. Li Chun stood up, walked over to the commander, and said with a serious face, "Immediately disarm the bombs, and evacuate the surrounding civilians!"

The commander replied with a troubled expression, "Councilman Li Chun, that may be difficult."

Li Chun’s expression darkened, "Why the difficulty! If the building is full of bombs, and they explode, the nearby crowds will be affected. If a serious incident occurs, will you take responsibility?"

The commander said, "Councilman Li Chun, it’s not that I don’t want to act, but rather that there is no way to act! Not long ago, I received a warning message from criminals, threatening to detonate the bombs if we dare to disarm one. If all the bombs in the building go off, the consequences..."

Li Chun pondered for a moment and then said, "So it seems we can only place our hopes on Fang Yi?"

The commander hesitated for a moment and then responded, "Yes."

Li Chun let out a resigned chuckle and said, "Alright, then we’ll just have to wait and see." He sensed that Fang Yi would not let him down.

...

Online discussions at this moment were unprecedented, especially after the explosion in the Jinrong Building, which virtually crippled the internet.

"Have the assassins finally made their move?"

"They planted bombs in the building, are they trying to exert psychological pressure on the Masked Hero?"

"They’re so despicable."

"Just that, it was clearly called a challenge, and now they don’t show up and resort to such despicable tactics. It’s really hateful."

The online discussion boiled over, and the live stream had gradually stabilized.

Fang Yi found it boring, and lit another cigarette. Finally, unable to hold herself back, Huo Xiaoxuan came to Fang Yi’s side and said, "Are they coming or not? You haven’t been deceived, have you?"

Fang Yi exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Don’t worry, they’ll come."

Huo Xiaoxuan hummed in agreement. She was a bit worried that the enemy would not show up, as the live stream’s comments were all asking why it hadn’t started yet, so she went to ask Fang Yi. After receiving Fang Yi’s response, Huo Xiaoxuan swallowed her concerns.

Then, Huo Xiaoxuan responded to those comments: "Rest assured, guys, just wait and watch the Masked Hero battle the evil forces of the Western Regions!"

Fang Yi stood in silence, his posture erect, standing tall and straight like a proud pine tree.

The first person from Angel to appear was a man, a dark-skinned national with short hair, carrying a crossbow in his hand, with a quiver on his back.

When the man appeared, the viewers of the live stream immediately erupted with excitement.

"You, are you Fang Yi?" the man stared at Fang Yi.

"Yes."

"Good," the man said indifferently. "I don’t want to make a move. If you are wise and don’t want to suffer painful torture, then kneel before me, and I can let you die easily."

With an expressionless face, Fang Yi replied, "In my opinion, as the world’s largest organization in the Underworld, Angel should not have any fools. But now, I’ve changed my mind. There must be many fools like you."

The man said, "Now let me send you on your way."

Fang Yi replied, "That is also what I meant to say." He stepped toward the man.

Fang Yi walked very slowly, step by step, showing many openings. The man took five arrows from the quiver on his back and loaded them into his crossbow. The next moment, the man moved quickly.

Whoosh!

An arrow cut through the air toward Fang Yi, arriving almost in the blink of an eye. But just as the arrow was about to hit Fang Yi, he raised his hand and grabbed it, stopping it just a little distance from himself.

The man was not discouraged. He knew that the other party was not that easy to kill; otherwise, he wouldn’t be worth a hundred million in cash.

Those who had come up to the rooftop earlier, despite trying to act calm, couldn’t help but turn their heads to watch this battle.

Fang Yi did not take action until necessary, but once he did, he could not stop. He rapidly closed in on the man, and as they got closer, more arrows came. Since the adversary was good at ranged attacks, Fang Yi chose close combat.

As Fang Yi drew near, the man suddenly sneered. He threw his crossbow onto the ground and gripped an arrow like a weapon, stabbing toward Fang Yi’s throat.

"I’m not only good at ranged attacks, but I’m also good at close combat," said the man, aiming to surprise Fang Yi with a sudden attack.

Fang Yi was momentarily taken aback, then he just laughed.

He threw a punch, landing it on the man’s chest. The man flew backward. Fang Yi shadowed him closely, picking up an arrow along the way. As the man landed, Fang Yi had already reached his side.

With a "thud," the arrow in Fang Yi’s hand was released, piercing through the man’s throat.

A hush fell over the entire scene!

The battle finished in less than a minute with Fang Yi ending it decisively.

Some looked on with odd gazes, others with complex expressions, while Fang Yi calmly said, "Next."
