Chapter 1499: Chapter 1499: Chance Encounter with an Ex-Girlfriend

In an instant, Su Hui flashed by, disappearing from the sight of the mysterious masked person, followed by a sudden powerful impact that caught the masked figure completely by surprise.

"Impressive..." It was only at this moment that the mysterious masked person noticed Su Hui had, unnoticed, repositioned to the left, and her fist had already landed a blow on the body of the masked figure.

Even though the mysterious masked person possessed an Immortal Body, he couldn’t withstand the hit, stumbling back several steps. Hurriedly, he grasped the mask but could not hold back a motion as if spitting blood.

Upon seeing the mysterious masked person injured, both Gu Fan and Lin Xi were greatly energized. It was the first time they had seen the masked figure wounded since the battle began, proving that he could be defeated.

However, when droplet by droplet of red blood began to seep from the gaps in the mask, and fall through the fingers of the masked figure, everyone present was taken aback.

It wasn’t because the blood of the mysterious masked person was particularly strange, but rather, like Gu Fan, the red blood turned blue after flowing out for a while.

"How could this be, it’s the same as mine." Gu Fan stared intently at the mysterious masked person, wanting to ascertain their identity.

Lin Xi was even more horrified: "Speak, who on earth are you?"

"Who am I—you don’t know?" The mysterious masked person wiped away the blood trace, his gaze filled with indifference.

Su Hui snorted coldly: "I don’t care who you are. As long as you’re an enemy, just beating you is all that matters." Having said that, Su Hui immediately charged forward.

The masked person tensed up; this time he was fully prepared, yet still failed to block Su Hui’s second strike, and was sent flying.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Su Hui continued her assault with a combination of punches and kicks, overwhelming the mysterious masked person who could only retreat in defeat.

Seeing Su Hui gaining the upper hand, Gu Fan, whose power had been depleted, and Lin Xi, who had little magic left, could only silently cheer for Su Hui, hoping she could defeat the mysterious masked person in one fell swoop.

At that moment, an unexpected turn occurred: the mysterious masked person suddenly counterattacked with explosive strength and speed, breaking through Su Hui’s punch and launching an attack that sent Su Hui flying.

The situation plummeted dramatically, leaving Gu Fan and Lin Xi in shock. Su Hui was their main reliance, and they had not expected her to be defeated so quickly.

But the mysterious masked person was also panting heavily, seemingly seriously injured, lacking a firm fighting spirit, he turned and walked away.

"Wait!" Gu Fan quickly followed, worried that their defeat of the masked figure might provoke him, causing him to take his frustration out on Li Shi.

Lin Xi, concerned about Gu Fan going alone, cast a Healing Spell on Su Hui and then immediately followed, joining Gu Fan in pursuit of the masked figure.

Su Hui, spitting blood, endured the pain, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and also gave chase.

The state of the mysterious masked person was not too dire; he could have continued to fight. Yet, he fled, leading Gu Fan, Lin Xi, and Su Hui in pursuit—it was a clear strategy of luring the enemy deeper.

Gu Fan realized this and immediately stopped the pursuit, looking around alertly.

Thank heavens, they had finally calmed down. Su Hui and Lin Xi were panting a bit.

Lin Xi was somewhat worried: "This mysterious masked person is extremely cunning. He appeared of his own will, then pretended to retreat—it must be a trap."

"So what if there’s a scheme? Li Shi is in his hands." Gu Fan knew he didn’t have many choices, even if he knew that he was headed for a dangerous situation, he still had to push forward. The reason he stopped was to consider his own condition, as well as that of Lin Xi and Su Hui.

One must not fight an unprepared battle, so Gu Fan decided to rest well and recover before continuing onward.

Lin Xi immediately used all her remaining supernatural power on Gu Fan and Su Hui, prioritizing their return to peak condition.

When a gentle flow of supernatural power enveloped her, Su Hui felt her injuries heal substantially, the pain disappeared, her spirits refreshed, and she even had an illusion that if she faced the enemy again, she would definitely win.

Gu Fan asked, "Lin Xi, do you know the identity of the mysterious masked person? Who is he, really?"

To this, Lin Xi shook her head, "This is just my guess. If I’m not mistaken, either the mysterious masked person is trustworthy, or he is the most dangerous enemy we have encountered."

"What do you mean?" Gu Fan and Su Hui didn’t quite understand and hoped Lin Xi would explain clearly.

But Lin Xi didn’t want to say more, as if the identity of the mysterious masked person was something she greatly feared.

Seeing this, Gu Fan did not insist, believing Lin Xi had her reasons for not disclosing more.

Su Hui took a good look at Gu Fan, her eyes filled with confusion: "I remember, the artificial intelligence in the forbidden zone said that there was only one reagent of the blue potion, and you drank it all."

"That’s right, so where does this mysterious masked person’s blue potion come from?" This was also what puzzled Gu Fan.

Lin Xi also added, "The people of the X Family drank the red potion, then transformed into the Xue Clan, ordinary people drank the Xue Clan’s blood, then turned into vampires. Maybe the situation is similar."

Gu Fan thought hard, "You mean, someone drank my blood, and then obtained blue blood like mine."

Su Hui and Lin Xi thought this was not an impossibility.

So Gu Fan recalled a time when someone drank his blue blood, became powerful enough to resist vampires, but then reverted to a normal person.

From this, Gu Fan deduced that his blue blood, unlike vampire blood, couldn’t be passed down and only worked briefly within the body.

Lin Xi made another speculation: "Perhaps there was only one reagent of blue potion left in the forbidden zone, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any on this spaceship. Maybe the mysterious masked person came here for the blue potion."

"But why would he kidnap Li Shi? This doesn’t make sense. Is it really just to lure us in?" Gu Fan frowned, indeed it could be as Lin Xi suggested.

What to do next? Should they continue forward and step into the trap meticulously laid out by the enemy, or hold their position?

Just as Gu Fan was unsure of what to do next, he heard the distinct and rhythmic sound of high heels clicking, which instantly made his heart leap. He was too familiar with the pace of those steps.

A group of people approached from the front, and another from behind, not many in number, but their presence was formidable. And the woman leading them was well-known to all.

"Welcome, everyone. I’m here on behalf of the master to greet you," Leng Le appeared with a group of people, blocking the passage from both front and back, all with malicious intent in their eyes.

"Ex-girlfriend, you actually came too," Gu Fan looked at Leng Le indifferently, his unease gradually mounting.
