Who gave you permission to travel through time with Earth?

But Zhou Tongtong couldn't afford to be distracted any longer. Another deep-space drill appeared in her palm, and several streams of liquid metal wrapped around her arms, giving her near-inhuman muscles and physical abilities.

The advantage of the technology side lies here: as long as they have the materials and blueprints, they can unleash combat power several times their original level. Zhou Tongtong is only a level 23 player, but she has more than one fourth-tier method.

Moreover, the other three members of the Lu family were not just for show. Fang Jin could not yet discern their abilities, but each of them possessed a piece of equipment, which gradually reduced the space Fang Jin could maneuver in.

"Steel cable, iron gall... and a hairpin?"

The woman with the hairpin smiled as she stuck the bright yellow hairpin into the ground. The wooden floor instantly turned to sand and sank, and he felt his feet sink.

Fang Jin braced himself against the wall with one hand to stop his fall, but two iron spears, one black and one white, followed closely behind and struck his shoulders like two flashes of light!

"Sizzle—"

But the man with iron will suddenly freeze, clearly having failed to achieve the desired results and encountering an unexpected situation.

Fang Jin's shoulder, which had been hit, was not dislocated, but only showed some bruising. However, the iron gall seemed to be stuck to his flesh and blood, and no matter how he tried to pull it back, he could not retract it.

[Metal Purification] Fang Jin is removing the will of others from the Iron Gallbladder and purifying it, vying for control with the person opposite him. Although he cannot take it over immediately, it is very easy to restrict the Iron Gallbladder's movements.

Almost instantly, Fang Jin's smiling mouth suddenly spewed out a large amount of thick fog. The gray smoke rolled like ocean waves, instantly filling the antique shop and obscuring everyone's vision!

【Settling Kundalini Fire - Smoke and Mist Phase】

"Rope! Quickly!"

"Okay, okay..."

The man wielding the iron chains had a languid expression, but his attack was incredibly ruthless and swift. The black claws transformed into black wolves in the air, their scarlet eyes roaring as they charged towards Fang Jin in the thick fog.

Sorry, young man... Although I don't know why our young lady wants to kill you, since she has already made her move here, you must die quietly in this corner of the iron map.

The man pondered as he smoked, his grappling hook lashing out in a certain direction without a second thought, as if the fog before him meant nothing to him.

The hairpin girl's abilities are not limited to sandification. She is a psychic, and her tiny psychic powers can be attached to the sand. Although she cannot control the sand sea to kill people, she is virtually unmatched in terms of perception among people of the same level.

Therefore, the smoke provided very little concealment. Fang Jin's every movement was detected, and the man only needed to follow instructions to manipulate the grappling hook and throw it over, making it a very easy task.

To ensure the young lady's satisfaction, the man deliberately didn't release the black wolf's claws, only letting it finish its capture and bind Fang Jin, leaving her to decide her fate...

"call……"

The black wolf missed its target? The man's expression changed drastically, but the woman beside him was equally astonished. It was as if the wolf had vanished from its spot in milliseconds after landing, but that was not a reaction a human could make.

Absolutely impossible. Sand perception is all-encompassing; it can even sense sand floating in the air. Yet, the opponent instantly broke free from the mind master's perception and escaped the black wolf's determined prey...

Wait... could it be this fog?

"Etherealization! The smoke is a field; he can etherealize his body within this mist to evade attacks..."

"You reacted a little too late."

Fang Jin's voice rang out beside the man, and black mist condensed into his body. He placed a copper coin against the man's neck, and the latter barely managed to hold on for three breaths before fainting from cerebral ischemia.

The Kundalini Smoke Form, learned from the Asa Willow Branch, is the highest-level skill Fang Jin possesses besides the Lesser Sun Tathagata Palm, and its potential can also be further increased.

However, if the final effect is merely to exhale a puff of smoke, then it would be a disservice to its grade. The skill's effect should naturally match its appropriate level.

The smoke he exhaled defined the boundaries of the area. Fang Jin could melt into the smoke, ignoring physical damage, and appear at any corner of the smoke sea at extremely high speed.

The advantages are quite obvious, but the drawbacks are not without their own. First, maintaining the smoke itself consumes very little energy, but each time you blur or traverse, you use up a lot of source energy, which is almost a common problem with Fang Jin's skills.

Secondly, there is the time factor. Fang Jin can only become ethereal once within five minutes, and the duration must not exceed three seconds. Otherwise, he will not be able to piece his body back together and will perish as the smoke dissipates.

Even so... Smoke Phase is already the strongest support skill that Fang Jin has mastered.

"not good."

The other two men's expressions changed. They knew best how powerful that man was, and that he had been taken down so easily. After they realized what had happened, they couldn't help but panic for a moment.

Fang Jin seized their momentary hesitation, giving them no chance to adjust. She transformed her hands into fire, grabbed their faces, and used the momentum to slam them heavily to the ground!

Then came the dragging. Fang Jin treated them as if they were tools for plowing the ground, grabbing their necks and carving two deep furrows in the ground. Even after they hit the wall, she continued to drag them roughly upwards!

"Bang bang bang—!"

"Pfft—"

Blood gushed from both of their painful faces. It wasn't that they didn't want to resist, but they had no chance under this terrifying power and suppression. Even after they fainted, they were too weak to use any other means!

Zhou Tongtong looked horrified. Of course she recognized the Crucible Mode; it had left a deep impression on her during that bloody parade. But when had it become so exaggerated?

This is the strongest group under the Lu family steward. Even if they haven't reached the mid-level, they have actually killed monsters of the fourth level together... Now they can't even beat a newbie who has only been a player for a month?

After the initial shock, Zhou Tongtong chuckled softly. She tapped her eye sockets rapidly with her index finger, causing the liquid-like disguise to fade quickly, revealing a honeycomb-like cluster of black mesh underneath, which was slowly trembling.

"but……"

"My preparations are complete."

The next moment, Fang Jin's mouth was suddenly filled with a metallic taste. His internal organs ruptured without his knowledge, and the intense dizziness and pain almost simultaneously took away all his ability to move!

He lost control and fell to his knees, his body trembling so much that he couldn't even maintain the kneeling position. His vision was still able to barely catch a signal, so when he saw Zhou Tongtong's modified eyeballs, he instinctively recalled something.

"Infrasound weapon..."

It has a long range and excellent concealment, and it is close to the fixed frequency of human internal organs. Through resonance, it causes the human internal organs to deform and shift, or even directly rupture and disintegrate, making it a silent and invisible weapon of destruction.
