Chapter 504: Having a Blast

"This is..." A bubble just popped up over that person's head, and before he could finish speaking, a single bullet pierced his abdomen.

One hand covered the wound in his abdomen, the other hung at his side; he lowered his head to look at his hand. Though he felt his body was still much the same, the feedback before his eyes was completely different from his actual sensation.

Only Luo Jinyou and Ying Duo could see it; the sudden environmental shift loosened his outer energy shield, and that bullet slashed his Blood Bar by three quarters.

He saw his hand, still a rectangular block, but a dark red layer surfaced at the front, as if indicating the blood on it.

What kind of ability is this? So bizarre!

Could it be that he's not a Special Ability Practitioner of the Space Law, but of the Chaos Law?!

That shot drew back other attention, but Ying Duo quickly fired several more shots, finishing off the head of the person who had just momentarily zoned out.

The comrade's death finally freed them from clinging to the abrupt dissonance between sight and true feeling, and they immediately re-entered combat mode.

Unlike their heightened vigilance, Yang Yixie was at this moment somewhat bewildered.

Nothing else; the world before his eyes hadn't changed at all, as if the Domain he opened hadn't been opened.

But that instant the enemy did indeed stagger briefly, giving him the chance to take a head.

He glanced sideways at the skill description of 【Domain】.

【Domain: You emit your own energy aura; the ambient energy in the surrounding air becomes closer to you, complementing each other.】

His Blue Bar regenerated faster.

Besides that......

It really seemed to have no effect.

Luo Jinyou lowered his rectangular hand from his face, and he also saw his Blood Bar in the Team Channel.

He knew his power had greatly increased, though he never felt it, yet the Blood Bar lay starkly before him.

Earlier his Blood Bar had turned yellow after being stabbed, now it was recovering at an extremely slow pace and had turned back to green.

But once everything before his eyes was displayed in data form, his earlier worries seemed unnecessary.

The clear numerical contrast, with everything operable and calculable like a game, made combat seem less terrifying.

His jade stone also turned into pixels in this chaotic view.

Gunfire sounded, signaling the battle's opening once again.

When the bullet entered, the man's body paused; his upper body still clutched his abdomen, but his head dropped, chin hitting his chest, like a machine suddenly unplugged.

His eyes remained open, now two hollow, soulless pixel blocks, with a spreading red square above his head indicating his fate.

The jade stone in Luo Jinyou's hand left a pale green light in the air, which fell at the alley entrance and exploded before a man.

It was like a flower blooming instantly; the pale green, jade-like petals turned into countless lethal blades, striking the enemy's protective energy with repeated thunderous clangs.

Their Blood Bars showed only a very slight fluctuation, so weak it was barely noticeable.

As if their Blood Bars had an endurance bar beneath, and breaking defense would cause greater damage.

When that idea surfaced in his mind, Luo Jinyou instinctively glanced at Ying Duo's pixel avatar and immediately knew how to counter.

Luo Jinyou hadn't often taken part in such real combat, but he had played games with Ying Duo for a long time, knowing Ying Duo's playstyle well.

And he could cooperate.

"Right three." Luo Jinyou inexplicably uttered those two words.

Ying Duo's barrel instantly turned, "Bang bang bang—!"

Three gunshots rang, but Luo Jinyou's jade arrived a step ahead; the bullet struck the jade, shattering it and carving a hole in his outer defense, allowing subsequent bullets to hit directly.

More jade spun in the air, leaving a trail of countless tiny squares in midair.

"Left two."

Ying Duo spoke, and the floating jade around him instantly seemed to receive a command, converging toward the indicated spot and blocking the enemy's attack.

Luo Jinyou didn't even turn around; seizing the opening, he employed the body technique he had practiced for years at Mitra, blasting a pixel avatar away.

It felt like playing a low‑spec fighting game.

Luo Jinyou gradually adapted to the battlefield rhythm.

So this Domain was meant to collectively buff his own teammates?

"Up."

Luo Jinyou pushed off the ground, his body tracing a silver arc through the air.

The jade in his hand struck the enemy's blade precisely, emitting a crisp metallic clang; seizing the moment, Luo Jinyou surged forward, like a beast aware there was no retreat, forced into a fight to the death.

The man reacted quickly, raising his other hand—unarmed—to block Luo Jinyou's strike.

But Luo Jinyou didn't comply; instead he performed a variation, coating his arm with a jade‑like surface and smashing it hard onto the man's waist.

It didn't land a critical hit, but still dealt considerable damage.

Luo Jinyou seemed to, in battle, rely on his strong regeneration to develop new techniques

After a sudden burst, Luo Jinyou thrust straight into the enemy formation; Yang Yixie, standing behind, appeared a bit relaxed, but he didn't choose to be a slacker.

Luo Jinyou dared to charge so directly, relying also on Ying Duo's terrifying firepower suppression.

And because they were in Party Status, Yang Yixie didn't have to worry about friendly fire on Luo Jinyou, so he let loose completely.

Putting firearms aside for now, despite his somewhat "quiet" appearance, he has always liked grandiose things.

Like bombs.

But faced with the onslaught of bombs, the Field Operations Department squad, as their enemy, didn't fare so well.

They seemed to forget why Mutation Division's lunatics are often kept at a distance, even though everyone blames the mad director; yet how good are the members inside?

They're still a bunch of lunatics.

It seemed the lives and safety of comrades weren't even in their consideration, solely pursuing their own explosive thrill.

But in reality, Luo Jinyou also felt quite thrilled.

Just like playing a game with high‑energy music makes it more exhilarating, the smoke from the explosions gave his attacks new effects, and after Ying Duo tossed a bomb, the mini‑map displayed a red bomb‑radius indicator.

The more I looked, the more it seemed like I was playing a game.

Moreover, he doesn't need to dodge at all, and can even use these bombs in reverse to achieve better frontal suppression.
