Chapter 244

It's an Ethereal!

It looked like a Level 3 Ethereal, and as for its name, Ye Qingfeng didn't know.

He made a motion of pulling a gun from behind him, and a submachine gun appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Such an unbelievable scene didn't attract anyone's attention.

Everyone's attention was focused entirely on that Ethereal.

Time was tight, Ye Qingfeng didn't have time to enchant the bullets, and he pulled the trigger the moment he aimed at the Ethereal.

The biggest advantage of a submachine gun was its fast rate of fire.

It took less than two seconds for all the bullets to pour out.

As fire erupted from the barrel, two figures rapidly approached the Ethereal.

Watching Ailian and Kelin swung the blades in their hands, aiming straight for the Ethereal's head.

The Ethereal didn't hesitate in the slightest, lunging backward to avoid Watching Ailian and Kelin's attacks.

At the same time, the bullets fired by Ye Qingfeng all hit the suspended Ethereal, landing on it and making a crisp clanging sound.

Clearly, it didn't cause much damage; it might not have even broken through its defense.

Ye Qingfeng wasn't surprised by this result; this submachine gun was just a mass-produced weapon, and the bullets were just ordinary bullets.

It was fine for dealing with Level 1 or 2 Ethereals, but for Level 3 and above, it probably couldn't even break through their defense.

The Ethereal flipped 360 degrees in the air and landed steadily, its sharp toes scraping across the ground, creating sparks and making the sound of metal lightly scraping against an object.

It didn't feel harsh; on the contrary, it was a bit pleasant?

Utilizing the momentum of the landing, it smoothly performed a gorgeous spin, like a professional ballet dancer, showing elegance in every gesture.

Its body had a silver-white metallic texture, with just the right amount of green embellishment, presenting an unusual aesthetic beauty.

Elegant! So elegant! So beautiful...

Using the finishing move of the dance, the Ethereal reached out a hand, facing the Victoria Housekeeping group, which was both an invitation and a provocation.

Eous took the opportunity to run back, looked at the Ethereal solemnly, and asked: "Where did this guy pop out from?!"

"Since the other party has invited us to dance," Lycaon bowed respectfully, "then we shall respectfully decline... no, accept."

Just as he finished speaking, Watching Ailian hoisted her weapon and sprinted toward the Ethereal first, followed by Kelin and Rina, while Lycaon turned slowly.

"Lord Ye Qingfeng, please take care of the Proxy, leave the fighting to us."

Lycaon said, and without waiting for Ye Qingfeng to respond, he headed straight for the battlefield.

Ye Qingfeng scooped up Eous from his feet, held it in his arms, stared straight at the figures fighting, and retreated a few steps to ensure they wouldn't be affected.

He watched with peace of mind.

For Ethereals, the meaning of their existence seemed to be only to attack the life forms they saw; this was also what Ye Qingfeng had summarized himself through the Ethereals he had seen.

Clearly, this Ethereal didn't fit this viewpoint.

In fact, this kind of thing had happened since the beginning of his transmigration; the Ethereal transformed from the Chiya Gang leader Bai Lao, or rather, the Corrupted (those transformed from humans are called Corrupted), its primary principle wasn't like other Ethereals.

Instead, it attacked all life forms that approached the safe, and whether that included other Ethereals, he didn't know.

This showed that the behavioral principles of all Corrupted were different from other Ethereals!

Interesting! This is so interesting!

Except for the Hollows and the derivative products within them, this world wasn't much different from his previous life.

People would be curious about novel things, and for Ye Qingfeng, Ethereals were the most novel things.

Not long ago, when this Ethereal suddenly appeared, only Ye Qingfeng felt it was novel, and even felt it was incredibly elegant and beautiful!

Others didn't have such thoughts, and even after knowing Ye Qingfeng's thoughts, they would cast strange looks at him.

Would a normal person have such thoughts about an Ethereal?

They would probably suspect if Ye Qingfeng was a member of the Jieciji Society!

The Jieciji Society would say: They are villains, not perverts; this guy is a pure pervert, don't get involved!

"..."

"Qingfeng, who do you think will win?"

Ling asked.

Ye Qingfeng was speechless.

In a four-on-one situation, she still asked him who would win?

The Ethereal is guaranteed to win!

Although Ye Qingfeng thought so, he still explained to Eous in his arms based on the actual situation.

"The current battle situation looks evenly matched, but that Ethereal is outnumbered and struggling to deal with the siege of four people, unless it finds an opportunity to kill one of them instantly.

Clearly, Watching Ailian and Lycaon won't give it that chance, so defeat is just a matter of time."

"Oh oh! Qingfeng has the potential to be a commentator!" Ling nodded in a dazed, cute way. "Even a combat idiot like me can understand!"

"If there are no accidents, that Ethereal will definitely be defeated within three minutes." Ye Qingfeng said firmly.

During the days he helped Ling and Wise with commissions, Ye Qingfeng came into contact with the Inter-Knot and learned about the posts that classified Ethereal levels.

Usually, those called Notorious Ethereals were all Level 4 and above; although he hadn't seen an Ethereal of this level himself, he usually came into contact with Level 1 to Level 2 the most.

The closest opportunities Ye Qingfeng had to see a Level 4 Ethereal were the two he encountered at Bai Zhi Heavy Industry and Yuanjing Industrial; he later specifically asked Nicole and Ling.

According to their descriptions, the biggest difference between a Level 4 Ethereal and lower levels was that it possessed an unparalleled sense of oppression!

Only by facing it directly could one understand that feeling.

Now, facing this Ethereal, Ye Qingfeng didn't feel the so-called oppression.

Two minutes later, the Ethereal blocked a strike from Lycaon and used the force to retreat; not a hint of embarrassment could be seen on it, and it still performed with ease, showing elegance.

If this situation appeared on a human, Ye Qingfeng would be certain that the other party had a backup plan, but... do Ethereals even understand this?

"A truly difficult opponent." Lycaon sighed.

Under the siege of the four Victoria Housekeeping members, it hadn't caused much damage to the Ethereal, which was truly unbelievable.

In general, using all means to hold back a Notorious Ethereal shouldn't be a problem, but they had hit a wall with this Ethereal.

Lycaon sensed something was wrong.

At the same time, a flash of brilliance crossed Ye Qingfeng's eyes; he, like Lycaon, had discovered this problem, and in addition, he had discovered the Ethereal's behavioral principle.

Without a doubt, this Ethereal was a ballet dancer in its previous life, and besides the dancer, what is the most important thing in ballet?

The accompaniment! It was the music playing in that player!

"Ling! It's the player!" Ye Qingfeng reminded.

"I know!" Eous jumped to the ground, held the player high, and jumped around at the Ethereal. "Hey! Ethereal! Look here!"

The attention of the whole scene was attracted by Eous, except for the Ethereal, which seemed to only want to show off its dance moves to the fullest, and kill everyone along the way.

Eous headed downstairs and decisively threw the player down; the Ethereal turned its head instantly, locked its gaze on the player in the air, and jumped down without the slightest hesitation.

It stretched out its arms, wanting only to grab the player.
