"Damn it, you brat!"

Hearing the sound of pursuit coming from behind, Liu Shangming couldn't help but curse.

He had been surrounded, and although he managed to break through by killing several members of the Demon Hunter Army with his newfound power, he was also seriously injured and could no longer maintain his demonized state.

Right now, he's even being chased so hard by someone weaker than himself that he can barely breathe.

As for Fan Yun, who was relentlessly pursuing Liu Shangming from behind, he was also on edge.

He had been an undercover agent by Liu Shangming's side for quite some time, and was naturally well aware of Liu Shangming's capabilities.

Just like before, Liu Shangming was able to break through the encirclement of ten demon hunters. Despite being seriously injured, his strength was clearly far beyond that of an ordinary professional.

But Fan Yun still caught up without hesitation.

Because he knew very well that if Liu Shangming left, it would mean that a dimensional rift would be opened!
If it were just one example, it certainly wouldn't be a big deal for the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

After all, given the size of Shenzhen, it could handle even if ten different dimensional rifts were to erupt simultaneously.

However, if everyone thinks that letting go of a 'key' won't have much of an impact, then Shenzhen will face far more than just ten dimensional rifts that have rioted.

There might be thirty, fifty, or even hundreds of them!

There are at least several hundred keys like Liu Shangming's lurking in Shenzhen. If most of them cannot be intercepted, then what will happen next is an unprecedented catastrophe!
It seems that Shenzhen is destined to become the first front-line settlement in human history to fall into enemy hands.

This is something Fan Yun cannot accept. He has relatives and friends in Shenzhen, as well as many innocent residents...

So even if it meant death, he was determined to stop Liu Shangming.

Even if it only slows down Liu Shangming's pace, allowing the other members of the Demon Hunter Army to catch up, it would be enough to satisfy Fan Yun.

"By the way, do you remember the cigarettes I gave you these past few days?" Fan Yun suddenly said.

His voice wasn't loud, especially since both of them were traveling at high speed with the wind whistling in their ears, but Fan Yun knew very well that with Liu Shangming's strength, he could definitely hear what he was saying.

As he expected, Liu Shangming felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

Over the past few days, he had indeed received quite a few cigarettes from Fan Yun, that blond-haired guy, and he had complained quite a bit about how low-quality the cigarettes Fan Yun offered him were.

But after hearing what Fan Yun said, he suddenly became flustered.

Could it be that there's poison in those cigarettes?
Otherwise, why would Fan Yun bring this up?
"Do you know my profession?" Fan Yun asked again. He could sense that Liu Shangming's breathing was somewhat disordered.

Clearly, Fan Yun's words had already disturbed his mind.

Liu Shangming continued running forward without saying a word, his demon lord ordering him to reach a location outside Shenzhen at all costs.

Although he didn't know why he had to do it, since it was the Demon Lord's request, he had to comply.

Of course, it depends on the specific circumstances.

"Who knows what your real profession is!" Liu Shangming gritted his teeth. Fan Yun had been an undercover agent from the very beginning, so how could he possibly let him know his true profession?
"Hehe... Actually, I didn't lie to you. I really am a blacksmith," Fan Yun said with a smile.

"Damn it... at a time like this, you're still spouting nonsense!" Liu Shangming couldn't help but turn around, looking angrily at Fan Yun. Fan Yun had indeed said that he was an apprentice under a blacksmith in Shenzhen. A blacksmith apprentice was someone who forged iron, which wasn't wrong.

At first, Liu Shangming didn't pay much attention. Forging apprenticeship was a viable career path for professionals with average talent, so Fan Yun's identity was quite reasonable.

But now, Liu Shangming just thinks it's nonsense. How could a demon hunter army really go and forge iron?
"Ha! This distance is about right!" Fan Yun chuckled.

He said these things only to make Liu Shangming slow down a little, so that he could get closer.

Fan Yun stretched out his hand to Liu Shangming and then made a grasping motion in the air.

Suddenly, Liu Shangming felt as if countless ants were gnawing at his body, as if something was beginning to probe inside him.

"Uh……"

Overwhelmed by the excruciating pain, Liu Shangming stopped, unable to take another step. He could only kneel on the ground, sweating profusely from the pain.

And behind him, Fan Yun finally caught up.

"I am indeed a blacksmith, because my talent is... magnetic manipulation," Fan Yun walked up and explained softly.

The cigarettes he offered to Liu Shangming all this time were actually not poisonous at all, but he still had to use his own hands to offer them, right?
And it's normal for a blacksmith to have iron filings or powder on his hands, right?

One or two times is fine, but as Liu Shangming accepted cigarettes more and more often, he unknowingly became quite a fan.

This amount of die-hard fans is nothing to a professional's physique...

But now that I've met Fan Yun, things are different.

"You..." Liu Shangming's eyes widened, and he finally understood why he was experiencing such terrible pain inside his body.

It turned out that the metallic components he had inadvertently ingested were now causing damage to his body under Fan Yun's control.

Liu Shangming was sweating profusely, feeling extremely fortunate. If Fan Yun had been present when he was surrounded and attacked, he would probably be in grave danger by now.

Fortunately, Fan Yun arrived later, but he was unable to find a suitable distance to control the metallic components in his body.

This is the source of Fan Yun's confidence to chase after Liu Shangming, even though his level is far inferior to Liu Shangming's.

"Kid, do you really think you can take me down with this trick?" Liu Shangming said, his eyes bloodshot and his face contorted with rage.

Although he was seriously injured and still had a lot of tiny iron filings in his body, this was far from enough to drive a demon general-level expert to the brink of death.

Upon hearing this, Fan Yun remained calm and said, "I never imagined that I could kill you in one-on-one. I just wanted to slow you down."

Behind him, there were even more demon hunters on the move. After being tricked like this, Liu Shangming basically had no chance of escaping.

Of course, the price might be Fan Yun's own life.

"Since that's the case... then you can die!" Liu Shangming's demonic energy surged once more, though much thinner than before, his entire aura suddenly changed. (End of Chapter)
