I really can't control myself.

Chapter 4131 Intertwined
Things happened just as badly as Takaoka Yūnori had predicted.

The flying talisman quickly began to take effect, as its effect was indeed quite obvious.

Naomichi Ozaki's injuries began to heal rapidly, at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, his two hands, which had just been broken, were completely restored, and at least the external injuries had all disappeared.

It wasn't until this moment that Maruyama Zenji realized what was going on, and then he suddenly panicked.

What is this thing? Why can it heal injuries? How can there be such a broken item?
As for psionic items, the Otherworld Division certainly has them too. Various elixirs and disposable items are now appearing in every corner of this world. But the problem is, he's never seen an item that can heal injuries so quickly, in just a few seconds! That's too exaggerated! How are they supposed to fight with something like that?
He did hear what Takaoka Yūnori was saying about the mall and points, but the problem was that it was too ridiculous. Did such a system really exist?
At this moment, Ozaki Naomichi suddenly raised his hand, startling Maruyama Zenji, who was on high alert. He immediately took several steps back and looked at Ozaki Naomichi with great tension.

However, Ozaki Naomichi did not launch an attack this time. Instead, he looked at Maruyama Zenji with a smile and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm just checking how well my hand has recovered."

After saying that, he looked directly at Takaoka Yūnori behind him and continued with a smile, "I have to thank you for your live stream. I have to say, my points are increasing quite rapidly now. So... your attacks simply can't deal with me."

"Don't believe him," He Xinchangping's voice came from the side. "This guy is just threatening you with words. Even if your body can recover, what about your spiritual power?"

He Xinchangping's words suddenly calmed Maruyama Zenji, who had been panicking. Yes, his physical body had indeed shown signs of recovery, but the depletion of spiritual energy—this strange talisman couldn't possibly replenish it. If an Awakened One's spiritual energy was completely exhausted, what use would it be even if his body was fully repaired? He would have no fighting ability whatsoever.

Ozaki Naomichi has already unleashed quite a few attacks, and not only that, he even used a spiritual artifact to seal Zong Yang, all of which require spiritual power to operate. He probably doesn't have much spiritual power left now. He likely intended to use the miraculous healing item before them to shake their minds and then launch an attack.

Maruyama Zenji was almost affected, but fortunately, He Xinchangping's reminder was timely enough.

After calming down, Maruyama Zenji began to assess the situation. If the opponent had awakened an ability, they should be stronger than him, but their condition was probably worse than his.

With a "bang," a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Having just been exposed, Ozaki Naomichi reacted swiftly, releasing his Wind Shield without even turning his head. The bullet was clearly deflected again by his Wind Shield. It must be said that Ozaki Naomichi's reaction was incredibly fast; he managed to react so quickly to the sudden attack from the bullet in this situation.

The next moment, Ozaki Naomichi suddenly made a move, waving his hand towards the forest behind him, and a wind blade was unleashed. Instantly, the trees in front of him were cleaved in two by the wind blade, and a figure about 100 meters away jumped down from a tree in a disheveled state, barely dodging the attack of the wind blade.

Yes, the one who suddenly launched the attack was also a member of the Third Action Team. Previously, he had been suppressing the enemy with firepower, having been working alongside the captain and vice-captain. But somehow, he disappeared.

In fact, this person's awakened ability is quite similar to that of Takaoka Yusuke; they can be considered the same type of ability. Yes, it's the ability to become invisible.

Seizing the opportunity, he had already escaped to the rear of the Ozaki Straightway, cleverly hiding in a position out of Ozaki's sight and setting up his gun. Taking advantage of the opponent's apparent inattention, he opened fire. Unexpectedly, the opponent could react to such a sudden ambush; what level of reaction speed! One can only say, worthy of a professional-level extreme sports athlete; their motor reflexes are on another level.

However, his attack failed, but it still attracted the attention of Naomichi Ozaki.

Maruyama Zenji suddenly lunged forward, seizing the opportunity to attack Ozaki Naomichi directly. He used the same tactic as before, aiming for the head. Although Ozaki possessed healing items, how could he recover if he was killed outright?

Just as Maruyama Zenji approached, Ozaki Naomichi suddenly turned his head, as if he had guessed that Maruyama Zenji would launch an attack at this moment.

"How could this be?" Maruyama Zenji was shocked. Could it be that Ozaki Naomichi had known all along that one of their team members had infiltrated behind him, and that this surprise attack was part of his plan, but instead, they had fallen into his trap?
Realizing the danger, Maruyama Zenji immediately abandoned the attack. Yes, he was terribly afraid of dying; unless there was a real chance, he would rather not make a move.

However, the reality is not that he would not take action if he didn't, because Ozaki Nakamichi actually moved forward directly.

This clearly indicates an intention to take action against Maruyama Zenji. After all, the captain of the Third Action Team has already been killed by him, and Maruyama Zenji is now the strongest fighter. If they can take him down, Takaoka Yūnori behind them will be exposed.

Just then, another gunshot rang out. This shot surprised Naomichi Ozaki, who apparently hadn't expected anyone to fire at this moment.

The shot was quite cunning; it came straight from behind Maruyama Zenji, grazing his body.

The person who fired that shot was actually Shimizu Ritsu.

Ozaki Naomichi hadn't expected Shimizu Ritsu to keep up with his pace. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and decided to continue with his previous tactic: trading injury for injury. After all, he still had healing talismans.

He really doesn't have time to waste now; he must take down Takaoka Yūnō immediately. He can't delay any longer. Just as He Xin Changping said before, his biggest problem now is the depletion of his spiritual energy.

Given the situation, we must deal with Maruyama Zenji even if it means serious injury.

However, what he didn't expect was that, despite his plan to take the bullet directly to his chest and force his way out, flames suddenly erupted from the bullet's location the instant it struck his chest.

With a loud "boom," Ozaki Naomichi was blasted into the air.
