Chapter 6866
Leap
Looking down, Xiao Chen saw the city lights, like a flowing galaxy, dazzling and enchanting, hundreds of meters above the ground.
Those lights, like stars in the night sky, adorn this bustling city, yet they appear so small and fragile.
The night wind blew strongly, whistling, like an invisible hand tearing at the hem of his fitted cloth robe.
The cloth clothes fluttered in the wind, as if telling the story of the adventure's thrills and excitement.
He looked up, his gaze like two sharp daggers, locking onto the row of tightly closed windows on the 29th floor above, refusing to let anyone in.
Those windows, like Dilang's invincible fortress, were tightly closed, as if proclaiming to the world their mystery and inviolability.
However, the curve of Xiao Chen's lips became even sharper, like an ice blade in the cold winter, revealing a resolute and ruthless nature.
He knew that a contest with Di Lang was about to unfold a hundred meters in the air, and he was fully prepared to expose Di Lang's hypocrisy and ugliness to the light of day.
In the next instant, time seemed to freeze for his action.
His knees were slightly bent, his posture like that of a cheetah poised to pounce, full of power and explosiveness.
He suddenly exerted force on the narrow windowsill, which was only wide enough for one foot, and the windowsill seemed to tremble slightly from the force.
His entire body shot upwards like an arrow released from a bow, so fast that his figure was almost invisible, leaving only a fleeting afterimage in the night sky.
Five meters above him, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, fixed intently on his target.
A hand, like a steel claw, precisely gripped the cold alloy frame of the window on the upper floor.
The alloy frame was incredibly hard, gleaming with a cold light under the moonlight.
His arm muscles bulged instantly, rising like a coiled dragon, and his knuckles turned white from the excessive force, as if they were about to embed into the alloy.
True Qi surged through his meridians like a raging tide, providing him with a continuous source of power.
Using the momentum again, like a spring, the body bounced upwards at an even more astonishing speed, rushing towards higher floors.
With each stomp, his foot slammed against the windowsill like a heavy hammer, producing a dull thud.
Each grip left a clear, indented finger mark on the hard alloy window frame, as if it were a battle mark he had etched on this steel fortress.
His figure moved swiftly across the cold glass curtain wall, like a bird soaring in the night sky, so fast that only a blurry gray shadow remained, making it difficult to catch his trace.
In the blink of an eye, the 28th floor was right in front of us.
However, the 29th floor was a completely enclosed design. Its thick walls and airtight windows were like an impenetrable fortress, leaving no openings, as if declaring to him that this path was blocked.
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, his gaze like a star in the cold night, shining with determination and resolve.
He pointed his fingers like a sword, and his inner energy rapidly condensed at his fingertips, like a volcano about to erupt, containing enormous energy.
He pointed lightly and swiftly at a thick tempered glass panel on the 28th floor, as if it were just a gentle flick of the wrist.
However, at that very moment, a powerful force surged forth from his fingertips.
"Sizzle... Crack!"
The glass was pierced with a snap, revealing a perfectly round hole with edges as if measured with a ruler.
Immediately afterwards, spiderweb-like cracks spread out instantly, like blooming black flowers, quickly covering the entire piece of glass.
Xiao Chen took the opportunity to ram into the glass, his body shooting towards it like a cannonball.
Glass shards flew everywhere, like dazzling fireworks bursting in the night sky. He had already landed as lightly as a ghost in a dark, deserted conference room on the 28th floor.
The moment his feet touched the ground, he immediately became alert, and every nerve in his body tensed up.
An extremely subtle yet sharp aura, like the tip of a cold needle, pierced rapidly from the direction of the corridor, as if an invisible eye was watching him in the darkness.
He knew that the real challenge had just begun.
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic or tension.
He calmly and slowly took out a cigarette case from his inner jacket pocket, his movements elegant and composed, as if he were not in a dangerous situation, but enjoying a moment of leisure in his own cozy living room.
With a flick of his fingertip at the bottom of the box, the movement was light and precise, and a cigarette, like an obedient sprite, jumped precisely into his lips.
He slowly pulled a lighter from his pocket with his left hand. The crisp sound of the lighter was particularly clear in the quiet conference room, like a thunderclap in the darkness.
A pale blue flame leaped out, like a mysterious dance of ghosts, gently licking the tobacco.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, and the pungent smoke instantly filled his lungs, swirling freely in his chest. He squinted his eyes slightly, as if savoring the unique flavor.
Within moments, the entire room was filled with pale blue smoke.
The smoke, dreamlike and ethereal, slowly rose and drifted, gradually blurring Xiao Chen's outline, making him seem as if he were in a misty fairyland, or as if draping his figure in a mysterious veil.
"boom!"
A loud bang, like a bolt from the blue, exploded as the conference room door was violently slammed open!
The once sturdy door shook violently under the enormous impact, groaning in pain.
Two lithe, cheetah-like figures darted into the thick smoke like ghosts. Their movements were swift and agile, their eyes sharp as eagles, and they instantly locked onto Xiao Chen's location.
"who?!"
One of them let out a sharp shout, the sound like a thunderclap, echoing in the small conference room and making everyone's eardrums ache.
However, no sooner had the shout been heard than Xiao Chen's right toe, which was hanging by his side, shot up like a snake's tongue!
The movements were so fast they were dazzling, as if time itself had frozen in that moment.
Several sharp shards of glass scattered on the floor were swept away by an invisible force as Xiao Chen hooked them.
As if they had been given life, they transformed into two beams of cold light, almost invisible to the naked eye, tearing through the smoke with a sharp momentum!
The speed was so fast, like lightning slicing through the night sky, that no one had time to react.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Two muffled thuds rang out in succession, as heavy as ripe fruit falling to the ground.
The shards pierced the space between the two men's eyebrows with perfect precision, the force just right, making no extra sound and splattering too much blood, leaving only a tiny, almost invisible bloodstain.
The expressions of horror on their faces froze instantly, as if they had been frozen in place.
His eyes were wide open, filled with fear and resentment, as if he couldn't believe that he had been defeated so easily by his opponent.
His body swayed, like a skinny husk stripped of its bones, losing all support, and collapsed silently to the ground. The flame of life was extinguished in an instant, leaving only a deathly silence and a chilling coldness. (End of Chapter)
