211: Slow to stop

Wang Qingxuan was so angry she laughed.

She pointed at her face, took a step forward, and stood in front of Li Wen.

"CEO Li, you've grown some guts, haven't you?"

"You don't even recognize me anymore?"

As soon as she spoke, everyone around them was stunned.

Who is this kid?

Judging by his tone, his identity seems to be extraordinary?

Li Wen pushed up his glasses, a cold glint reflecting off the lenses. He scrutinized the 'young man' in men's clothing before him, whose delicate features couldn't be hidden, a programmed look of confusion on his face.

"Sir, do we know each other?"

"You..." Wang Qingxuan almost choked.

She widened her eyes, staring intently at Li Wen.

Impossible!

Li Wen couldn't possibly not recognize her!

Although she was wearing makeup and men's clothing, this male disguise wasn't the first time it had appeared in the company! At annual meetings, board meetings, and even a few times when she followed her father to inspect the marketing department, when had Li Wen not bowed and scraped, calling her 'Young Miss' more affectionately than anyone else?

Now he was pretending not to know her?

He was doing it on purpose!

Wang Qingxuan understood instantly.

This Li Wen had taken money from the Chen family and was now determined to help them get their revenge. Her sudden appearance had disrupted his plan. He intended to make the most of the situation, treating her as an ignorant troublemaker, and deal with her and the Lin siblings together!

What a Li Wen!

How audacious!

"Li Wen! Look closely!" Wang Qingxuan was furious, reaching out to wipe off her light makeup and reveal her true female identity, to slap him hard with the truth.

However, Li Wen didn't give her the chance.

"Where did this brat come from, spouting nonsense!"

He roared, interrupting Wang Qingxuan's movement.

"Colliding with a Heavenly Aegis VIP, disrupting official duties, seize him!"

He didn't give Wang Qingxuan any chance to explain, directly ordering the four experts.

"I'd like to see who dares!" Wang Qingxuan shrieked.

But it was too late.

Although the four Heavenly Aegis experts were also confused by this sudden turn of events, Li Wen was their highest commander for this mission.

Executing orders was their duty.

Moreover, they had just collectively attacked a Small Bat in front of everyone, yet hadn't even harmed a single hair on it, losing all face and bottling up a lot of anger.

Now was a good opportunity to save face!

"My apologies!"

The closest Titan Warrior roared, and his large, fan-like hand grabbed directly towards Wang Qingxuan's shoulder!

He didn't dare to kill her, as this 'young man' seemed to have an extraordinary background. But this grab was heavy enough to press an adult directly to the ground, instantly incapacitating them.

Wang Qingxuan had never seen such a scene before, and she was so frightened her face turned pale, instinctively retreating.

But how could a pampered young lady evade an attack from such a seasoned expert?

Just as the large hand was about to land on her shoulder.

"Buzz."

A faint hum.

The Small Bat, Blood Pack, hovering in front of Lin Yao, moved again.

Its tiny figure flashed, appearing directly in front of Wang Qingxuan, blocking the grabbing hand.

"Bang!"

A dull thud.

The Titan Warrior felt as if his hand had grabbed an unmovable divine iron, and the immense recoil made his entire arm go numb.

Blood Pack remained motionless.

"It's you again, you damned bat!"

The Titan Warrior roared, and his other hand also formed a fist, smashing towards Blood Pack with the sound of wind and thunder!

This time, Li Wen did not order an attack on Blood Pack again.

A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

His target, from beginning to end, was not this strange bat!

It was Lin Yao!

Just as the Titan Warrior entangled Blood Pack, attracting everyone's attention.

The other three experts moved!

Their coordination was seamless; the moment the Titan Warrior made his move, they bypassed the front, rushing directly towards Lin Yao from three incredibly tricky angles!

This crisis far exceeded the previous one!

Especially the assassin who had been lurking in the shadows; he had somehow stealthily moved behind Lin Yao, his poisoned dagger turning into a ghostly light, stabbing directly at Lin Yao's back!

This strike was silent and incredibly fast!

Its sharp aura even made Blood Pack feel a hint of threat!

It felt that if this attack landed on it, its health bar might drop significantly!

This guy's strength is off!

This time, even Blood Pack couldn't defend in time!

The hundreds of phantoms behind Lin Yao instantly sensed the danger, turning around in unison, and the lights of various defensive skills lit up, attempting to construct a defense line.

But, too slow!

The assassin's speed surpassed their reactions!

Wang Qingxuan screamed in fright.

"Be careful!"

At this critical moment.

Lin Yu, who had been standing by, purely watching the show, finally moved.

He didn't even move his feet.

He just slowly raised his right hand and gently snapped his fingers towards the chaotic battlefield.

"Snap."

A crisp, almost inaudible sound.

[Primordial Exquisite Finger Snap] activated.

Million-fold amplification!

[Primordial Slow Spell], instant cast!

There were no dazzling light effects, no earth-shattering energy fluctuations.

An invisible, intangible, yet irresistible power of law instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

Time, at this moment, seemed to have been put into slow motion.

The three Heavenly Aegis experts who were rapidly rushing towards Lin Yao instantly became as slow as snails.

The warrior holding the energy longsword, his ferocious grin frozen, held his longsword in mid-air, inching forward centimeter by centimeter.

The giant whose arms were burning with flames, his running posture became comically ridiculous, each step like sinking into quicksand.

Most exaggerated was the assassin who had already brought his dagger to Lin Yao's back.

The tip of his dagger was less than a centimeter away from Lin Yao's clothes.

But this one centimeter became an insurmountable chasm.

He watched helplessly as his hand slowly, painfully, and despairingly pushed forward.

The entire world slowed down.

It was even as if time had stopped!

Only Lin Yu, Lin Yao, and Wang Qingxuan, who was protected behind Blood Pack, were unaffected.

"Brother!"

A clear, somewhat surprised cry broke the eerie silence.

Lin Yao turned around, looking at the 'stranger' who had been standing in the corner the whole time, seemingly just watching the spectacle.

Although his appearance had completely changed, that finger snap, that familiar, controlling posture, she knew it all too well.

During their time in the Insect Dwelling, Lin Yao, out of extreme boredom, had watched Lin Yang snap his fingers for 20 hours.

She had even complained about why her brother would do something so boring.

Only later did she feel... that she herself, watching her brother do such a boring thing for 20 hours, was no less boring.

Damn it, they really are siblings.
