Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Metal Control Is Nothing Special

Chen Fei and Roberts’s battle, Liuli Hong had some trouble understanding.

Though it went back and forth, he always felt something was not quite right, as if something was lacking in fervor.

Logically, Chen Fei should be full of rage.

Plus, with the two strikes he inflicted earlier that seriously injured Roberts, Chen Fei’s strategy should have been to attack fiercely.

But Chen Fei fought without anger or urgency, and even seemed a bit distracted.

Liuli Hong had sparred privately with Chen Fei when she first reached Fourth Rank, so he was well aware of her abilities—they certainly went beyond this.

So, what exactly was this young lady up to?

Roberts was also filled with question marks.

To be honest, when Liuli Hong gave up his chance to Chen Fei, he thought he’d be dead in a few moves.

After all, Chen Fei was in top condition.

Though her superpower had been somewhat depleted, she was uninjured and surely would have fought fiercely.

But when the actual fight started, Chen Fei’s moves were... very soft.

The techniques seemed grand and splendid, but in reality, they weren’t very powerful.

"Fourth-order Metal Control is just this?" Roberts couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

He had always thought that Chen Fei was stronger than he was.

"It seems that’s all you amount to," Roberts snorted coldly, fighting with even more vigor.

The situation now was favorable for him.

As long as he took down Chen Fei first, he could win.

After that, he could use the same method he had used against Chen Fei on Liuli Hong.

Let the others involved in the Divine Light Plan exhaust Liuli Hong with their lives. Once Liuli Hong was running out of steam, it was certain he could take him down if he entered the fray.

If he killed both Chen Fei and Liuli Hong, then he, Roberts, would be an invincible existence in the truest sense.

...

"Poor thing, my Fei," Lu Xiao kept an eye on the situation outside from the villa.

Seeing Chen Fei continuously hold back, Lu Xiao felt somewhat remorseful.

He knew Chen Fei’s strength best. Not to mention the half-crippled Roberts, even a full-strength Roberts had more than an 80% chance of losing to her.

In fact, Chen Fei might find it even easier to defeat Roberts than Liuli Hong did.

Roberts’s Wind and Fire Dual Mutations were quite monstrous in terms of offensive power.

Although Old Luili had an Inner Qi Barrier to protect him, if he were really caught up in it, it probably wouldn’t hold up well.

The two strikes earlier had proven this point.

Once Roberts used a large-scale attack, Liuli Hong wouldn’t be able to withstand it and would get hurt.

But Chen Fei was different; Roberts’s so-called superpower explosions were almost useless against her.

Just put two layers of Metal Shield in front and she could easily block them.

The key was, Chen Fei also had Super Gold, whose defensive power was definitely monstrous.

Thus, Chen Fei fighting Roberts could essentially maintain complete suppression throughout.

"Fei, keep acting for a few more minutes. It’s almost ready," Lu Xiao glanced at his phone.

He had just confirmed with Edson that the explosives in the passage were being set up. At the same time, the metallic door to the resource vault that Chen Fei had opened was being cast and welded shut.

...

"Chen Fei, if you can’t do it, I’ll step in," Liuli Hong couldn’t stand it any longer.

It had been over twenty minutes and Chen Fei still hadn’t taken down Roberts.

The key was that Chen Fei seemed to be at a disadvantage the whole time, constantly on the defensive, with Roberts on the offensive.

"No problem, I can do it! I must kill Roberts myself!" Chen Fei replied to Liuli Hong and then continued to rapidly stack metallic shields in front of her.

Liuli Hong: ???

Talking about killing someone while frantically stacking armor?

"Kill me? Chen Fei, you think too highly of yourself.

Fourth-order Metal Control, that’s all it is! It seems we have always overestimated the power of super-level mutant abilities. Compared to a real super-level expert, you still have a long way to go," Roberts’s mouth curled into a smile.

From the recent fight, he had gained confidence.

In his view, Chen Fei was indeed much stronger than an ordinary Fourth Rank mutant and could take down some weaker super-levels.

But compared to him and Liuli Hong, she still had a significant gap.

"So what if there’s a gap? I can still kill you!" Seeing Roberts taking a break to talk, Chen Fei also stopped and immediately began to talk tough.

Exchanging a few harsh words could drag out a few more minutes.

On the side, Liuli Hong watching Chen Fei and Roberts starting to trash-talk each other, suddenly realized something.

Chen Fei definitely intended to kill Roberts. With her strength, she could indeed crush Roberts.

But Chen Fei kept delaying, always stringing Roberts along.

So... was she stalling for time?

For whom? Surely, for Lu Xiao, this kid. No one else could command Chen Fei.

Was this kid also in the villa?

Liuli Hong looked up at the villa not far away.

With just one glance, Liuli Hong saw half of Lu Xiao’s head at the second-floor window.

At that moment, Lu Xiao also looked straight into Liuli Hong’s eyes, grinning and giving him a V-sign.

Liuli Hong rolled his eyes but finally felt relieved.

More than killing Roberts, he was worried about Lu Xiao’s safety.

Now, there was no need to worry. The kid was absolutely fine!
