Chapter 128: Episode 1.7 A Rough Ride

Everything is starting to get bleak for Shen Yuan.

Right after a heavy golden arrow flew in his direction, the other male beta transformed into a massive eagle and took advantage of his stupor. It smartly dived towards him and shot a violent wind blade from his wings. Shen Yuan managed to evade it, but only a hairbreadth escape.

And when he stepped back, a vicious crimson flame scorched where his feet once stood.

The fact that this is a 1-versus-five battle is starting to unfold, and Shen Yuan’s disadvantage is clearly shown at this time.

"What did I say to you? Don’t underestimate other awakeners, Shen Yuan. Do you know why parties are made when hunters enter the dungeon? It’s because different powers are used to cover up each other’s weaknesses. That also applies to agents of the Hunter Association. Squad and units are formed to capture awakened criminals efficiently," Mo Zhu arrogantly said as he threw his flames from a safe distance.

Shen Yuan was hopping like a rabbit, trying to evade the constant attacks of his opponents. But curiously, he didn’t show any panic or despair. In fact, there’s a small, enigmatic smile blooming on his face in the face of flurries of both melee and long-ranged attacks.

"Oh?" Shen Yuan let out a lighthearted laugh. "Actually, I’m just realizing that now. Is it too late for this?"

Late my ass! Mo Zhu said that from the very start!

"Your overconfidence will be your undoing, Shen Yuan!" Mo Zhu said and once again used his fire to assault Shen Yuan. Conserving his mana was not in his mind right now. His goal was to push Shen Yuan to the edge with this chance the heavens gave. Even for once, he wanted to show his flawless strength to his Brother Tingfeng.

"Hmmm, we’ll see about that," Shem Yuan exaggeratedly stretched his lips—a charming but crazed smile.

Gu Jinpeng, who’s staying in the shadows, waiting for the right time to attack his boss, saw this and immediately had a bad premonition flash in the back of his head.

"Everyone! Retreat from Master Shen!" he warned the others. The three agents noticed the sense of urgency in his voice, and they promptly reacted.

The heteromorph eagle soars high up in the sky. The female archer parkoured in between trees to put distance from Shen Yuan. Li An also carried his spear and turned his back to run away.

Only Mo Zhu stayed and moked Gu Jinpeng and Shen Yuan, "What is this? Did you send your assistant to our side to meddle in your favor? I should have known that—"

But before his words continued, he was caught off guard when a mana blast washed over him. It was strong yet subtle energy. He tried to feel himself and realized that nothing happened to him. Only the surroundings had a slight change; it was brighter than before because of the lingering white mana floating like fairy lights.

Xia Jinhai’s eyes widened upon recognizing this power. Isn’t this almost the same as the mist that Shen Yuan used during his fight with Chairman Mao? He remembered that Shen Yuan could not see and feel everything inside that illusion spell.

But this one is a little different since their sight wasn’t obstructed. It only created tiny floating dots in the air.

"Wow!" Yanyan watched in wonder as their garden lit up as if fairies appeared. He doesn’t know what his Daddy did, but he really liked this! Coupled with the white fox ears and tails, it makes his daddy look more beautiful and shining!

"What the hell was that?!" Mo Zhu exclaimed.

"Well, you gotta figure that out!" The response came from behind him. Shocked, Mo Zhu impulsively kicked in the direction of the voice.

However, Shen Yuan evaded it with his slim and flexible body. He used the opportunity that Mo Zhu had an unstable footing to slap the poor omega in the face with his itching and powerful palms.

"Kya!" Mo Zhu pathetically flew in the air and planted his face in the nearby peonies.

Shen Yuan rubbed his satisfied palms together and said, "Nothing personal. That’s the only attack I know that will not kill you."

He doesn’t care if Mo Zhu will still be able to stand up after that. He’s just an extra he put in to give him a lesson without stirring too much trouble. Call him sly or cunning. That’s okay. Those are his middle names as a fox spirit, anyway.

Swish!

Through the powers he spread around, he felt something approaching him with an impressive speed. It’s invisible to his eyes, but he’s oddly familiar with it.

He lazily tilted his body to dodge it. A loud thud behind him sounded, and a tree was now embedded with a lone bullet.

"Nice shot. Gu Jinpeng!"

"Shit!" The former top assassin cursed. "Everything will become difficult now. Our movements are good as bare with Master Shen!"

"Then let’s cooperate. With continuous and incessant attacks, Leader Shen would still have difficulty dealing with us. Let’s show him the best of his abilities!"

Gu Jinpeng was skeptical because it never occurred to him that a former assassin like him would join hands with these agents working in a government office. However, in the spirit of money and bonus, he finally agreed.

The four A-Class awakeners agreed to team up temporarily. Li An and the heteromorphic beta take turns fighting with Shen Yuan in close quarters, and Gu Jinpeng and the female archer snipe Shen Yuan from a distance.

Gu Jinpeng hid in the shadows while the other archer chose the high ground.

However, something has changed in the dynamic of the S-Class omega’s movements. It became sharper and faster so that Li An, who used to brandish his spear quickly, could no longer threaten Shen Yuan. Each of his attacks was dodged with a huge margin! The air that came with his every stroke couldn’t nip Shen Yuan’s hair even just a little.

But the most dangerous thing that happened was the actions of the platinum-haired omega.

"No way!" He yelled out since Shen Yuan gripped his spear’s shaft and tried to rob him of his weapon!

What will a mage-type awakener do to his heavy and compact spear?! Wield it?

On the other hand, Shen Yuan only responded with a smile. Not a word of taunting or explanation came.

To a swordsman or spearman, weapons are the most important thing. Their powers are only usable if their trusty equipment is in their hands. That’s why they trained themselves to the point that these weapons become a part of their body.

So, Li An tried his best to shake off Shen Yuan.

The celestial fox spirit was harassing Li An when suddenly he felt other incoming projectiles on his way.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three magical arrows landed heavily on the ground that he stepped on. Thankfully, Shen Yuan hastily skipped backward to evade them, or else he would be skewered by these flimsy-looking but fatally heavy golden arrows.

Shen Yuan doesn’t need to wonder about the fatality rate of these magic-based arrows. It is evident from the deep holes they made in the ground.

And the terrifying thought that they all landed exactly where his fit was flashed in his mind.

He internally smiled, and Chairman Mao gave him a competent marksman.

"Kiiiii!" The screeching eagle sounded and attacked him when he was in a daze.

However, the sharp talons of the heteromorph bird managed to reach his arm, but thankfully, he’s got himself a protective talisman, which created a protective layer on his skin, stopping the nails from scratching him.

"Oh, he sure knows his rhythm," Shen Yuan praised. This one is quite brainy—an efficient hunter with a good rhythm.

However, Shen Yuan thought to spice things up. He wanted to see what extent these people could do once pressured.

"Grit your teeth, everyone. This is one hell of a ride," Shen Yuan said.

Hastily, he reinforced his entire body to boost his overall speed and physical power.

Shen Yuan kicked the ground hard to forcefully propel himself toward Li An quickly. The alpha tried to swing his spear to swipe Shen Yuan to the side, but at the last minute, the height of Shen Yuan’s flight became higher, and a jet of air blew directly below Shen Yuan, rendering his attack a failure.

"Woah! Daddy’s—" Yanyan immediately covered his mouth before speaking about his daddy’s tail. But seeing his dad use his tail to fly makes him feel excited. This is like a real-life cartoon!

So cool!

On the other hand, Shen Yuan found an opening to grab Li An’s spear, and the two were deadlocked.

Li An tries to push Shen Yuan away, but the omega is only using his force against him. When he goes then, Shen Yuan pulls. And when he pulls, Shen Yuan will push.

The goal of the omega is clear. That’s to steal his spear!

"But why?" Li An was internally crying. He just wants to impress his new leader!

Left with no choice, Li An used his power against his idol. As a spearman, he can summon his spear within a 1-kilometer radius.

Li An let go of his spear, and as his feet grew wings, he immediately ran to put distance from Shen Yuan. He then raised his hand to summon it, but as it turns out, Shen Yuan was expecting that!

"Gotcha!" Shen Yuan said before Li An saw his entire life flash before him.
