Ally the Young Master watched Reina with such unyielding resolve, and dared not approach any further.

　　They had assumed that, faced with such desperate circumstances, a pampered young lady would surely give in.

　　They hadn't expected that she had no intention of negotiating, and chose to fight to the death.

　　"Hmph! A woman who doesn't know what's good for her, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

　　Ally spat out the words, and was about to retreat.

　　But then, an "inopportune" voice suddenly emerged.

　　"Um... Young Master Ally, I heard... we have a bit of a grudge?"

　　All eyes shifted to the masked man leaning against a stone pillar in Reina's camp.

　　Although he stood with Reina's group, he didn't seem to fit in.

　　Reina looked at "Zorro" who had spoken out of nowhere, with a hint of guilt and confusion, and asked, "Mr. Zorro, you..."

　　Before she could finish, "Zorro" interrupted her with an indifferent tone, muttering to himself as if in soliloquy, "After all, I promised Qian Tiao-jie and 'that person' that I would try my best to protect your life. I naturally have to be conscientious."

　　That person?

　　Reina's heart flashed with doubt as she listened.

　　But reality didn't allow her to ask further.

　　......

　　Because he was wearing a gas mask, Ally didn't recognize him, and questioned, "Who are you?"

　　The masked man calmly replied, "I'm Zorro. Young Master Ally seems to have a bad memory?"

　　"Heh, it's you."

　　Ally naturally remembered something, narrowed his eyes to size up the masked man, and chuckled dryly, "What, you want to beg for mercy now?"

　　"No."

　　Zorro smiled and shook his head, "I want to borrow something from Young Master Ally."

　　Ally sneered, "Oh? What do you want to borrow?"

　　Zorro said in a joking tone, "I want to borrow your head for a moment."

　　"Heh..."

　　Ally acted as if he had heard something laughable, completely unconcerned, full of mockery, "Based on you?"

　　I have hundreds of people with me, even that Third Order old man wouldn't dare to talk back, and you think you can kill me in a second?

　　"Mm."

　　Hearing this obviously sarcastic question, "Zorro" actually nodded matter-of-factly.

　　While speaking, he played with the dagger in his hand, flicked his wrist, and conjured a beautiful knife flower. His tone was still casual, but the killing intent in his eyes gradually gathered, and he added, "I also want to say, you shouldn't have stood so close. At this distance, with just these few people, they can't protect your life..."

　　Before these words faded away, the killing intent suddenly burst forth.

　　The three elders beside Ally were the first to sense something, their expressions changed drastically, and they shouted, "Young Master, be careful!"

　　Zorro's words were still echoing in everyone's ears, and at the same time, they suddenly heard a "bang," and shattered stones exploded.

　　Upon closer inspection, the stone pillar that "Zorro" was leaning on seemed to have been hit by some invisible force, and suddenly cracked with countless spiderweb-like fissures.

　　"Crack," "crack," "crack"...

　　After a series of dense, subtle sounds, the force spread, and the entire stone pillar could no longer withstand it, instantly shattering into pieces of rubble and exploding.

　　Everyone watched as this load-bearing pillar, nearly a meter in diameter, inexplicably shattered.

　　The instant the explosion sounded, a shockwave rippled out from where "Zorro" had pushed off with his hind feet.

　　After a moment of delay, a "pop" sounded as the air exploded, piercing eardrums.

　　Looking again, the figure of "Zorro" in front of them had actually dissipated.

　　It was just a visual afterimage.

　　The person had already disappeared from the spot.

　　.......

　　The previously nonchalant "Zorro" had suddenly erupted.

　　Low-level professionals didn't even have time to react to what was happening, but the two Third Order professionals present had already detected "Zorro's" movements.

　　Both Third Orders changed their expressions at the same time.

　　Butler Anthony, already transformed into a demonic goat, was shocked, "Mr. Zorro is actually so strong?!"

　　Only he, as a close-combat professional, knew just how terrifying this instantaneous movement technique was, just by looking at the cracks in the stone pillar.

　　He never expected that a bounty hunter who had been unremarkable until now would possess such strong physical qualities.

　　And Nilo, the "Wind and Thunder Sword King," immediately recognized the technique of stepping on air, and was horrified, "Treading-Air Steps!"

　　This was an arcane-level movement technique that even he hadn't mastered, and yet this "Zorro" was using it right in front of him.

　　The subtle skill of treading on air, though seemingly insignificant, required exceptional talent to master!

　　Nilo now understood why "Zorro" had said those words earlier. With the ability to rush forward, within fifty meters, no matter how strong those Second Order guards were, they couldn't protect Young Master Ally's life!

　　"Not good!"

　　Nilo was instantly anxious. He certainly couldn't watch Ally be killed before his eyes.

　　Almost the moment he discovered "Zorro's" eruption, he suddenly swung his sword, and a sharp sword qi instantly advanced dozens of meters.

　　But...

　　As the other Third Order professional in the field, how could he let him have his way?

　　Anthony also snorted coldly, his figure turned into a stream of light, and he blocked the sword qi in the middle.

　　Transformed into a demonic goat, he no longer had the old and haggard look he had before. At this moment, his entire body was filled with explosive power.

　　At this touch, Anthony's pair of white-haired hands wrapped in a vortex of air, actually blocked the sword qi with his bare hands!

　　The two Third Orders reacted and exchanged blows extremely quickly, completing their actions almost the instant the stone pillar collapsed.

　　Nilo's sword qi was fruitless, and at this moment, the disappeared figure of "Zorro" reappeared, already dozens of meters away.

　　Young Master Ally also realized that something was terribly wrong. The great terror of facing death caused his expression to change drastically, and he wanted to shout, "Save me!"

　　But his throat couldn't even manage to get the words out.

　　He instinctively wanted to dodge, but his body couldn't keep up with his mind's reactions, and he could only watch as the figure in his eyes flashed and appeared in front of him.

　　The dark, poisoned dagger quietly reached for his neck.

　　As the crisis descended, the Ice, Lightning, and Earth Disaster Elders beside Ally also reacted.

　　But how could the spell formations in their hands be faster than a close-combat professional rushing forward with the "Treading-Air Steps"?

　　Among the three, the bald, burly man of the Earth element had a strong defense himself, and was the only close-combat professional. He also flashed forward at the first moment, using his body to block in front of Young Master Ally. At the same time, his skin exuded an earthy yellow spiritual light, obviously intending to take this blow head-on.

　　If "Zorro" were to continue in a straight line, he would run right into him.

　　.......

　　But how could Zorro let them have their way?

　　The "Treading-Air Steps" wasn't just fast, it also excelled at its ability to stop abruptly and change direction!

　　Just as everyone hadn't reacted, they saw another exploding ripple in the air.

　　"Zorro" stepped on the air again, stopped abruptly and changed direction, his figure moving in a "ϟ" shaped lightning gait in the air, perfectly avoiding the bald man's obstruction.

　　Young Master Ally saw a figure out of the corner of his eye, but before the retinal image could be transmitted from his nerves to his brain, he suddenly felt a chill in his waist.

　　The sharp, poisoned dagger precisely cut through a weak seam in the protective suit, cunningly slashing out a gash.

　　In an instant, the wound was exposed to the air, quickly turning black, and a foul-smelling purulent blood spurted out.

　　Before Young Master Ally could say anything, his eyes suddenly went dark, and his entire body slumped, barely clinging to life!

　　.......

　　"Zorro's" heavy injury to Young Master Ally, who was protected by many experts, stunned everyone present.

　　Watching the person fall, the "pop pop pop" exploding sounds of stepping on air echoed in everyone's ears.

　　Time seemed to pause for a moment, and then everyone came back to their senses from the shock.

　　"Quickly, detoxify the Young Master!"

　　"Damn it, stop him!"

　　"Protect the Young Master!"

　　"..."

　　The scene was in chaos.

　　Not far away, the "Wind and Thunder Sword King" Nilo was even more horrified at this scene, "The intelligence said he was a Ranger, but this seems to be a professional assassin? And it's a Third Level Treading-Air, how exaggerated is that explosive speed? How strong is this guy's body?! When did a Second Order professional of this level appear?"

　　With this [Treading-Air Steps], even he felt a certain threat.

　　Obviously, Nilo's first reaction was that this "Zorro" was suspicious!

　　How could someone so strong be just a slightly famous bounty hunter?

　　"Could it be a hidden hand laid by Carnegie Reis?"

　　Nilo's eyes darted around, and in an instant, he thought of too many mysteries.

　　But reality didn't give him much time to think.

　　Because at this moment, the battle had already begun.

　　Enzo assassinated Young Master Ally, igniting the fuse of the powder keg.

　　Gunfire erupted chaotically.

　　And that "Zorro," after heavily wounding Young Master Ally, didn't stop his movements at all, and rushed straight into the main force of the Clark family.

　　His speed was such that even Second Order professionals couldn't react, let alone the ordinary guards.

　　Because they had come in a hurry, and relied on their numerical superiority, this group hadn't assembled any defensive formations at all.

　　Now that things had happened suddenly, "Zorro" was like a bullet, easily piercing through the enemy's defensive formation. His figure moved as nimbly as a ghost, and wherever the sharp dagger passed, it would inevitably leave a cunning bloody mark on the gaps in the armor and bulletproof vests.

　　"Don't fire randomly, be careful of friendly fire!"

　　"Use area-of-effect control spells!"

　　"Armored mechs, stop him!"

　　"Use net guns! Use net guns!"

　　"..."

　　The enemy was in disarray.

　　Because of "Zorro's" existence, a large part of the Clark family's firepower was drawn away, and the pressure on Reina's side was greatly reduced.

　　Although the number of people in the Reis family was small, their equipment was very sophisticated. They also took advantage of the terrain and the defensive advantages of their positions, with several heavily armored mechanical warriors blocking the front, and with a burst of firepower, they hadn't lost ground for the time being.

　　However, as long as they held out, they would eventually meet their doom.

　　Moreover, no matter how powerful "Zorro" was, he was only one person.

　　There were also Second Order experts among the enemies.

　　He had the advantage of a surprise attack earlier.

　　Now that he had killed someone, although he was mixed in with the crowd, his speed had also slowed down.

　　Two Second Order assassins had already entangled him.

　　Daggers clashed, scattering sparks in an instant.

　　Although "Zorro" still had the upper hand for the time being, the enemies were numerous, and once he was entangled, he would only meet his doom.

　　And the area-of-effect spells of those magic-type spellcasters were also condensing...

　　"Zorro" obviously realized this as well, and he didn't give these enemies a chance to encircle him.

　　After rushing in and wandering around, injuring dozens of people, he immediately ran towards the outside of the encirclement, looking as if he was going to break through and escape.

　　If he really disappeared into the fog, with his speed, no matter how many people there were, it would be impossible to catch up!

　　.......

　　Not far away, Reina and the others watched Mr. Zorro, already at the edge of the battlefield, and breathed a sigh of relief.

　　In this situation, at least one person escaping was better than none.

　　But at this moment, an accident happened.

　　Normal speed would be very difficult to catch up with a professional assassin who knew the Treading-Air Steps, but there were also some special alchemical items.

　　"Don't let him escape!"

　　Seeing that Zorro was determined to escape, a figure mixed in with the enemy suddenly increased his speed several times, reaching an unbelievable level of speed.

　　Taking advantage of the fact that "Zorro" was still trapped in the mud of the crowd, the person suddenly launched a surprise attack, and his speed was actually two points faster than the Treading-Air Steps!

　　With just this one move, the difference in speed caused the two to collide.

　　That person slammed a punch on "Zorro's" head. Even though he tried his best to twist his body to dissipate the force, he was still hit on the mask, and his body was blocked, causing him to fly backward.

　　Zorro flew out, but he wasn't too surprised. He even muttered in his heart, "Tsk tsk... Able to accelerate time, it should be the [Watkins' Timepiece] that guy mentioned. As expected, I'm still far behind that guy. If he had come, he probably could have killed all these guys..."

　　With a punch to the face, the gas mask was knocked off.

　　After falling to the ground, "Zorro's" aura suddenly changed from what it was before, and he didn't seem to be fighting to the death at all.

　　He unexpectedly raised his hands without any heroic spirit.

　　He... made a gesture of surrender?

　　At this moment, seeing that the target was no longer resisting, someone suddenly shouted, "Take him alive!"

　　With this order, those lethal methods also suddenly stopped.

　　Everyone then saw clearly that under the mask was actually a strange blue-skinned face.

　　Reina and Anthony, who had seen "Zorro" before, were greatly surprised.

　　They actually discovered that this blue-skinned person wasn't the handsome gentleman she had seen before!

　　.......

　　This blue-skinned "Zorro" was naturally not Suren.

　　But Kai, who had integrated the x-serum and advanced to a Second Order assassin.

　　Kai looked at the crowd surrounding him and raised his hands in surrender.

　　He didn't have any awareness of being a prisoner, and a brilliant smile hung on his face. He muttered, "As expected, that guy said that when you see 'x-serum,' you definitely won't dare to kill me."

　　Hearing this, a middle-aged man walked out with a gloomy expression.

　　He carefully looked at Kai's blue skin, and then looked at Kai, who was completely mentally normal. He obviously recognized the effect of the "x-serum."

　　He was also extremely shocked.

　　Where did they get their "x-serum" from?

　　Someone was actually able to not become distorted after injecting it?

　　This was also the reason why he had ordered a live capture.

　　They were people from the Umbrella organization, so naturally they didn't care about any family infighting.

　　The middle-aged man ignored the three major families who were still fighting fiercely around him, and shot Kai in the leg.

　　He was very cautious, probably to prevent Kai from using that speed to escape again.

　　After injuring the person, he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you talking about?"

　　Kai staggered from being shot in the left thigh, nearly falling.

　　However, he didn't show any pain on his face, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly, "You'll know in a moment."

　　The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly as he listened, and he guessed something, "You're stalling for time?"

　　"Yeah... You just noticed?"

　　Kai looked at the cursed space gate that was suddenly radiating black light not far away, and grinned, "Tsk tsk... The timing is just right."

　　Before the few people in front of him could react, they suddenly discovered that the scenery around them had suddenly changed.

　　Everyone then realized that they had been caught in a cursed space due to some special trigger condition!
