The Villain Slaps The Protagonist’s Halo - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Hunting the World

Nie Jia flew into a rage, instantly killing one of Ning Lang's trusted aides. The ability users who could appear on the main island were not ordinary people, and the death of one of them in the blink of an eye undoubtedly sent a strong shock to the others.

The Oasis's ability users took a step back, while Huaxia's ability users gathered around Shi Chen and the others, keeping watchful eyes on their surroundings.

Shi Chen lightly pressed down on Nie Jia's shoulder and whispered, "Don't act rashly for now."

Nie Jia was aware of his emotional volatility and tendency towards impulsiveness. With Shi Chen's reminder, he tried his best to suppress the violent emotions inside him. With such a commotion, Ning Lang couldn't possibly be unaware. When he shows up, let's see what he has to say!

After a few minutes of stalemate, Ning Lang calmly walked out from the darkness. He came alone, with his hands in his pockets, wearing an expressionless face.

Shi Chen looked at Ning Lang's hollow eyes and immediately thought of something.

"Ning Lang! This is the main island of the Oasis. Look around, what exactly do you mean?!" Shen Su shouted angrily.

Someone from the Oasis's team shouted back, "It was Huaxia who struck first!"

He Qingtang glared, "That's utter nonsense!"

"Lieutenant Song," Shi Chen gritted his teeth.

Song Nuanyang blinked forcefully, sweat breaking out on his forehead.

At the sight of Song Nuanyang's expression, Nie Jia guessed the clue. He frowned, "What's wrong, is Ning Lang also being controlled?"

Song Nuanyang nervously breathed, trembling slightly as he nodded subtly. Without making a sound, he retreated to the side of Shi Chen and Nie Jia, whispering, "The opponent's threshold is higher than mine, so I can't read his thoughts. But from what I can tell, Ning Lang may have been under control from the beginning, and the other members of the Oasis probably don't know."

"Didn't you read Ning Lang's thoughts at the beginning? Didn't you notice anything?" Shi Chen asked.

Song Nuanyang shook his head helplessly, "No, I can only say that Nie Jia's guess is correct. The opponent and I have the same ability, but their level is much higher than mine. They even fooled me."

"This is trouble." Shi Chen's teeth ground together with a hint of killing intent. Before coming to the Oasis, no one had expected that the true controller of the Oasis was not Ning Lang. Even now, they didn't know who the opponent was, or even what Ning Lang's ability was.

It seemed that the other party had no intention of negotiating, launching a surprise attack from the beginning and attempting to kill Song Nuanyang, keeping everything under wraps.

They didn't care about the consequences...

"Leave Shen Su and Song Nuanyang alive, kill everyone else!" Ning Lang stepped forward and issued the order, stirring up a frenzy of killing among the Oasis's group.

"Damn it!" He Qingtang's eyes were red with anger as she cursed, and the red mist surged into the crowd, instantly strangling anyone from the Oasis it touched!

The battle between the two sides was about to erupt. Everyone present was a fourth-tier ability user. If they fought, the entire main island would likely collapse, especially since Nie Jia and Shen Su hadn't even made a move yet. Staring through the crowd, Nie Jia coldly locked onto Ning Lang's eyes and gritted his teeth, "Kill Ning Lang first."

Shen Su nodded in agreement, and in unison, the two disappeared on the spot, leaving behind only a small circle of stirred-up dust. When they reappeared, they were already in front of Ning Lang. Nie Jia held what seemed like thunder in his hand, electric sparks flying everywhere, about to spill Ning Lang's blood on the spot.

With a knife in hand, Shen Su went straight for Ning Lang's head, simultaneously mobilizing all the metal suspended in the air, attacking Ning Lang.

No matter what ability he had, at least they wouldn't let him escape! 

Ning Lang stood motionless, simply raising his hand, and suddenly, a invisible force spread out, like a powerful shockwave centered on Ning Lang, rippling outwards. Just as Nie Jia was about to take Ning Lang's life, he felt a huge vortex appearing behind him, causing him to lose his balance and fall backward rapidly.

All the metals controlled by Shen Su were instantly deflected with a clanging sound.

Ning Lang's attack didn't differentiate between friend and foe. In an instant, everyone within a hundred meters of him was pushed away by this force. Some even crashed into walls and died on the spot.

Nie Jia rolled on the ground to avoid a tree, using his hand to dissipate the momentum. He nervously turned his head and saw Shi Chen and Song Nuanyang also affected by this force, crashing hard into the wall. While Song Nuanyang was unharmed, Shi Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Shi Chen!" Fear filled Nie Jia's eyes. He rushed to Shi Chen's side, quickly healing his internal injuries, the tight fear in his heart dissipating slightly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Shi Chen propped himself up with one hand on the ground, wiping away the blood from the corner of his lips with his sleeve, gently patting Nie Jia's face. "Go get Qingtang."

Nie Jia turned his head to find He Qingtang's figure, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, a lamp post immediately coiled around He Qingtang's waist, pulling her over.

Shen Su, with scratches all over his body from the impact, ran over worriedly. Seeing that Song Nuanyang was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief, panting heavily, "What the hell was that just now? Ning Lang's ability? What exactly is that thing?"

"He should be like you all, one of the three basic forces." Shi Chen looked up, watching as Ning Lang effortlessly sent people flying with a wave of his hand, further confirming his speculation.

Nie Jia furrowed his brows, recalling the sensation of being flung away earlier, and exclaimed in surprise, "Gravity?"

Shi Chen nodded, "Looking at the Oasis like this, with so many islands floating on the sea, I initially thought it was the work of earth-based ability users. But with so many islands, even a fifth-tier ability user couldn't stabilize so many islands for long. Ning Lang might be a sixth-tier ability user."

Song Nuanyang was stunned for a moment. After observing Ning Lang for a while, he said heavily, "Seeing Ning Lang so adept, he doesn't even need a gravity core. Or rather, he himself is the gravity core, and he can even create gravity cores at will. This is just... too outrageous!"

Shen Su didn't quite understand, and at this moment, there was no time for Song Nuanyang to explain to him in detail. He only knew that Ning Lang's ability was difficult to deal with!

With a snap, Shen Su clasped his hands together, and countless small pieces of metal shot towards Ning Lang like bullets.

But Ning Lang simply flicked his finger, and everything around him, even the dust in the air, was forcefully pushed away.

In that moment, Shen Su seemed to understand why the capital of the United States disappeared out of thin air. If it was done by Ning Lang, then at this moment, Ning Lang was simply playing around with them.

"His reaction speed is also very fast. Each ability user has their own domain, but abilities are not passive. So even though we metal users sometimes can't dodge bullets, because bullets entering our domain can be sensed, our reaction speed is not faster than bullets. But my speed just now was completely superior to the bullets', yet Ning Lang seemed to be able to anticipate." Shen Su gritted his teeth unwillingly.

Nie Jia pondered for a moment and looked at He Qingtang, "Physical attacks won't work. What about magical attacks?"

He Qingtang understood and nodded solemnly. She mobilized her maximum mental power to control her red mist, continuously sharpening it into countless small and dense arrows in the sky, almost covering half of the sky. All the sharp arrowheads were aimed at Ning Lang, and the ability users looked up at these arrows in horror.

Then He Qingtang grabbed the air with her five fingers, and the small arrows in the sky poured down towards Ning Lang with unparalleled killing intent.

Song Nuanyang frowned and held his breath, but those arrows dissolved into red mist before they even reached Ning Lang's body.

He Qingtang floated in mid-air in shock. Shi Chen immediately realized that she was being controlled by Ning Lang and reached out to grab her ankle, but he was a step too late. He Qingtang plummeted towards the sky in an instant, with a distant island in the clouds. If she collided with it at this speed, she would undoubtedly die!

He Qingtang clasped her hands above her head, and the red mist surged wildly, hoping to dissipate the momentum. But even when she was almost exhausted, it had no effect. She watched the island approaching rapidly, closing her eyes in despair.

"It seems that magical attacks are feasible." Nie Jia suddenly appeared beside He Qingtang, grabbed her hand, and with a flicker, they returned to the ground. He said seriously, "Unfortunately, Ning Lang's control is very precise, and Colonel's ability level is too low."

Shi Chen quickly went through the list of boarding personnel in his mind and shook his head with disappointment. They didn't have many personnel, and most of them were physical attackers. Only his wife and the Colonel were magical attackers. This battle was difficult.

When He Qingtang stood steadily on the ground, she was still a little dazed, and then slowly reacted. She burst into tears, "Chief, I almost died just now!"

"You're not dead yet, stop crying!" Shi Chen gave her a slap on the back of her head.

He Qingtang staggered forward a few steps after being hit, coughed a few times, and let it go. She was Shi Chen's bodyguard and had always been the primary assassination target of the Shark Faction, so He Qingtang had never been spared from being hit, but experiencing such a near-death experience was a first.

Although she was safe now, facing a strong enemy, He Qingtang still vaguely felt that she might sacrifice herself tonight.

"I'll see how many of you I can save!" Ning Lang suddenly turned grim, clasping his hands together with a snap. As his arms expanded outward, everyone on the main island, including the Oasis's ability users, floated up, then plummeted towards the sky under the powerful gravity.

Almost everyone screamed in terror, and the commotion was almost deafening throughout the entire Oasis. It was a terrifying scene.

"Brother Shen!" Song Nuanyang hugged Shen Su tightly in fear.

"If we're going to die, let's die together!" Shen Su drove his abilities to the maximum threshold, but he couldn't resist Ning Lang's gravity. He couldn't use magnetic lines to glide and teleport like Nie Jia in this situation. Perhaps they were really going to die.

Indeed, Nie Jia couldn't take care of everyone. He grabbed Shi Chen's hand to pull him back to the ground, but he caught a glimpse of Ning Lang's slightly maniacal smirk. With a wave of his hand, Nie Jia, just as he had pulled Shi Chen back to the ground, was immediately flung away again.

"It's useless. Ning Lang himself is the key." Enduring the suffocation in the strong wind, Shi Chen said, pushing Nie Jia away by his waist. The distance between the two of them widened instantly.
