God-Level Special Forces Soldier

Chapter 989: Chapter 985: Shifting the Battlefield

Watching the talisman turn to ash in mid-air and immediately being blown away by the fierce wind, disappearing without a trace, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but curse Kojima Minako for her incompetence!

The Ghost Face had already undergone such obvious changes, yet you’re still attacking in the same old way—aren’t you just asking to die?!

Indeed, the ancient saying goes true: big breasts, no brains; big breasts, no brains.

Feeling that Kojima Minako lost without grievance, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but put all his energy into fending off the ferocious Ghost Face’s attack.

With Kojima Minako’s interception failing, Xiao Tian became the only one who could stop the Ghost Face.

Xiao Tian dared not be careless, seizing the moment as the Ghost Face just broke through the talisman, thinking of how to resolve the crisis during the brief pause when it found itself difficult to continue.

Ordinary True Qi would certainly be unable to resist the Ghost Face’s invasion; this was indisputable. Even without using True Qi, Xiao Tian had many methods at his disposal, yet once he employed them, his identity would instantly be exposed.

A weapon like the Shaking Light Disc, once used, would immediately put him in a position of uninvited contest.

While pondering, the menacing Ghost Face seemed to recover, and the two Netherworld flames in its eyes swept away the former dimness, burning fiercely again.

”Watch her!”

Xiao Tian suddenly turned his gaze toward Kojima Minako, giving a low growl like a command, then employed his body technique to confront the charging Ghost Face with his flesh.

Kojima Minako was stunned, initially dissatisfied with Xiao Tian’s tone; now she felt a strange fear, surprised that there is someone so recklessly daring!

However, this thought only lasted for a moment; considering Xiao Tian’s previous display of strength and insight, he certainly couldn’t be the type to plunge into deep waters without knowing the depth.

Hence, there must be some reliance for such actions.

With a settled mind, Kojima Minako quickly took over Xiao Tian’s task... which was simply to keep an eye on Ozawa Miwa, ensuring the silver needles on her body were not affected.

For a moment, Xiao Tian once again became the center of attention, everyone watching his figure rising into the air, generating different thoughts.

Some thought he was seeking to seize the opportunity, desperately ensuring a carefree livelihood, while others suspected he had ulterior motives.

But most held some anticipation, eager to see what would happen when the ferociously malevolent Ghost Face came into contact with a human body.

...

At this moment, Xiao Tian’s thought was simple: if this Ghost Face was like the previously encountered Demon Blade, an entity that can be communicated with in some way, then things would be relatively simpler.

Of course, there might be a possibility of this being true or not; to prevent any unlikely outcomes, Xiao Tian had prepared in advance, sealing off his heart vein ahead of time.

This way, although his usable power was greatly reduced, he wouldn’t sacrifice his own life; this confidence was why Xiao Tian dared to confront the Ghost Face barehanded to test it.

Moments later, the Ghost Face came into contact with Xiao Tian directly.

Xiao Tian couldn’t help letting out a bitter smile, noticing the Ghost Face passing through his arm like a skewer, noting with some helplessness that this guy seemed to have no interest in him.

However, at this point, it could no longer matter whether the Ghost Face was interested or not.

Xiao Tian stepped forward, using a surge of True Qi to form an invisible barrier, completely blocking the retreat path of the Ghost Face, then freed up a hand to grab it.

To say he grabbed it is inaccurate; the Ghost Face didn’t have a real physical form, how could it really be held in hand? It was merely a visual effect.

This scene, in the eyes of ordinary people, naturally looked like Xiao Tian was showing impressive prowess, subduing the fierce Ghost Face with one move.

However, in the eyes of those with discernment, it seemed as if walking on the edge of self-destruction, recklessly testing back and forth.

Kojima Minako and the middle-aged man’s brows furrowed at the same time, unsure of Xiao Tian’s actions.

Clearly, moments ago, Xiao Tian could have retreated opportunistically, completing the swap with Kojima Minako, yet he didn’t. Instead, he seemed desperate for more, a incomprehensible act!

Nonetheless, what everyone failed to recognize, or collectively chose to ignore was... how did Xiao Tian manage to casually manipulate the Ghost Face with his hand?

Before long, in a trance, everyone seemed to see the Netherworld flames in the Ghost Face’s eyes flicker fleetingly.

Yet upon rubbing their eyes diligently and looking again, they saw nothing, generating a surreal feeling as if experiencing collective hallucination.

As everyone whispered among themselves, seeking evidence that it wasn’t just them hallucinating, the Ghost Face suddenly passed through Xiao Tian, heading straight in one direction.

That direction was precisely where a hidden Mizuno Clan expert had been lurking in the shadows...

The expert hidden in darkness, watching this drama unfold, couldn’t have imagined the Ghost Face would suddenly charge at them.

Though unsure if it was coincidence or otherwise, the expert wasted no time, promptly utilizing body technique to flee in another direction.

After flashing several times, they appeared over a hundred meters away, in a direction vastly different from earlier.

However, to their horror, the Ghost Face was fixated on the expert as if stubbornly pursuing them, changing direction midway along with the expert’s shifts, regrouping, and charging again without respite.

This situation, even ordinary people could tell was unusual; the fierce Ghost Face suddenly shifted focus from Ozawa Miwa to a new target in an instant—defying belief that something was amiss!

Given an evident anomaly, the most likely problematic factor was undoubtedly Xiao Tian; after his contact with the Ghost Face, it immediately abandoned Ozawa Miwa and pursued the Mizuno Clan expert.

The Mizuno Clan experts glared uniformly at Xiao Tian in anger, yet despite their fury, they could only swallow the bitter pill without evidence to prove any direct connection between this incident and Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian sighed in relief, confirming his conjecture was correct; the Ghost Face’s target locking method was based on the first person it saw when it opened its eyes.

And the unlucky Mizuno Clan expert inadvertently became the new target of the vicious Ghost Face.

The expert, running and jumping, shifted locations multiple times in just a few seconds, yet the fierce Ghost Face maintained its pursuit.

During this time, many from the organization attempted to block its path but unsurprisingly hit nothing, with some copying Xiao Tian’s way of using their bodies as a human shield but passed through without effect.
