Chapter 560: Press His Exit Key for Me!

Like a hedgehog with its spines blown up.

Ying Duo immediately pulled away from Chi Jinan, and because the attack range was large, this wave of assault was not very powerful.

But now Chi Jinan grew increasingly annoyed; he tried to scan his Consciousness Space and found no signs of intrusion, yet those Ying Guang Lu pop‑ups were stuck to his retina like a sticker, impossible to clear.

He attempted with his mind to press the 【No】 button and finally succeeded in closing one pop‑up.

But it didn't matter; he closed one pop‑up while countless others kept flooding in, as if a Trojan virus had been forcibly downloaded.

In response, Ying Duo, who was frantically clicking the Invite button, chose to hide his merits and fame.

Though it was useless.

Even with his sight obstructed, Chi Jinan remained unyielding, simply closing his eyes and preparing to rely on his other senses to fight Ying Duo.

One should know that after losing vision, other senses can indeed become sharper, but the premise is that you must first lose it.

Chi Jinan only closed his Observation Key to the world; he didn't uninstall a Trojan virus.

Even with his eyes shut, his view remained filled with Ying Guang Lu system pop‑ups; gritting his teeth, he could only rapidly select 【No】 while judging Ying Duo's approximate direction from the energy, then attack.

Countless Blood Crystals, resembling ground spikes and bamboo shoots, erupted from the ground, spreading outward.

Ying Duo pressed the keyboard again, triggering another cascade of system pop‑ups; a mech arm extended from his side, propelled by a thruster, leapt high, carrying Ying Duo off the ground.

The bamboo‑shoot tips almost brushed the mech's sole as they passed.

Ying Duo originally designed a flight device for the mech, but due to rapid blue‑energy consumption, he switched to this high‑jump thruster.

His fingertips hammered rapidly, the Ying Guang Lu effect flickering under his hands; using the falling gap, the mech activated the machine gun mounted on him and aimed at Chi Jinan a short distance away.

"Tap tap tap—!"

Bullets flew out of the barrel as if they were free, and by the time the first gunshot rang, Chi Jinan had already erected a shield around himself.

Chi Jinan kept pressing 【No】, but there were so many pop‑ups that he couldn't close them all.

Just as Chi Jinan's mind was about to press 【No】 again, an unexpected system pop‑up sprang up; his attention was on tracking Ying Duo's movements, so he didn't react in time.

The original 【No】 was blocked, and he ended up pressing the 【Yes】 above it.

【Player "Chi Jinan" has joined the party.】

"Press his 'Exit Key' for me!"

Ying Duo immediately stored the mech in the Game Backpack, then fell straight down from the sky; Chi Jinan, clueless about his calculations, still launched an attack at once.

The blood‑red crystals coalesced into claw‑like shapes; the overly elongated fingers and eerie hue looked like a demon's hand crawling out of hell.

Chi Jinan felt that after he agreed to join the party, his view instantly cleared, free of Ying Guang Lu light pollution; for the first time he thought the world could be so beautiful.

However, a dark silhouette had silently slipped behind him.

"I've been waiting for so long!"

Just as Chi Jinan launched an attack at the black off‑road vehicle, Ying Duo had already Teleported to the outside of the vehicle; facing the already wrecked car, he quietly drew the playing‑card avatar of Xi Ren Sheng.

The Joker‑clad clown hopped to a hiding spot; due to Chi Jinan's area attack, it bounced along with a few others, evading the damage mechanic.

And the moment Chi Jinan joined the party, it signaled that their scheme had succeeded.

Ying Duo fell straight down; Chi Jinan's Blood Crystals rushed toward his life, yet Ying Duo offered no resistance, simply allowing himself to drop.

Chi Jinan was about to give Xi Ren Sheng a hit as well; Xi Ren Sheng's outfit this time was unusually normal, with restrained black hair, dressed like a youthful gentleman, countless cards fluttering in his hands.

A layer of Blood Crystals covered Chi Jinan's hand, thrust straight toward Xi Ren Sheng's heart, while on the other side Blood Crystals were about to converge on the unsuspecting Ying Duo.

At the same moment, Chi Jinan and Ying Duo's figures blurred like poorly linked phantoms for an instant; the attacks passed through both bodies, and Chi Jinan ended up with nothing.

Chi Jinan passed directly through Xi Ren Sheng's body, experiencing clipping for the first time; his pupils dilated slightly, his mind raced, and with his strong learning ability he opened the party system and found the grey 【Exit Party】 option.

He pressed it, but nothing happened.

From the moment he joined the party and the Exit Key was chaotically locked by Xi Ren Sheng, Chi Jinan had already seized the authority to assault Ying Duo and his group.

————————————————

"I thought you would, like last time, rush out to stop Chi Jinan."

Because Chi Jinan's sudden rebellion forced the entire convoy to halt temporarily, awaiting a life‑or‑death duel between the two.

The Church and the Dome's people were not surprised that it escalated to this, after all they had long harbored grudges.

But the battle seemed confined to Ying Duo and Chi Jinan; neither side's leader spoke out to stop it nor intended to expand the conflict.

In response, Qi Junyi approached Shen Zexi and Qi Hengyu and asked this.

After all, back when they were still in the Slum, Shen Zexi had thrown everything to protect Ying Duo from Chi Jinan's clutches.

"Did you two fall out?"

When Qi Junyi said that, he didn't think it was a problem, at most a bit regrettable.

After all, although they never voiced it, when any of them faced danger they always gave the most sincere response; if Ying Duo weren't the Dome's undercover, they could have become very good friends.

Anyone who could endure his temperament for so long couldn't be said to have a bad relationship.

"No, just denied any interference."

Shen Zexi slowly shook his head; they had also anticipated this situation, since before departure Chi Jinan and Ying Duo had already fought.

The Church and the Dome must cooperate to go farther in the upcoming journey; since conflict was inevitable, it might be better to settle it early.

Compared to that…

Shen Zexi's gaze shifted to a not‑faraway figure in a white coat; Fang Zhiyan had found Luo Jinyou, as if saying something to him again.

Ying Duo specifically asked him to keep a closer eye on Fang Zhiyan's movements.
