The Healer More Powerful Than A Warrior - Chapter 441 - 441: Magnetic Manipulator

“Damn it, you little punk!”

Upon hearing the sounds of pursuit behind him, Liu Shangming couldn’t help but curse.

Earlier, despite being surrounded, he managed to break out by killing several members of the Demon Hunting Army with his demonized powers, but he was severely injured and couldn’t maintain his demonized state.

Now, he was being chased to the point of breathlessness by someone not as strong as him.

Behind Liu Shangming, Fan Yun was in hot pursuit, his nerves tense.

He had been undercover beside Liu Shangming for a long time, and was well aware of Liu Shangming’s capabilities.

Just like earlier, even with ten Demon Hunting Army members attacking, Liu Shangming managed to break through, albeit heavily injured. This clearly showed his strength far exceeded that of ordinary Professionals.

But Fan Yun still pursued without hesitation.

Because he was well aware that if Liu Shangming escaped, it would mean an Anomalous Spatial Rift would open!

If it’s just a single one, it wouldn’t be a big deal for Shenzhen.

Given Shenzhen’s scale, even if ten Anomalous Spatial Rifts occurred at the same time, it could handle them.

But if everyone thought letting one “key” escape wasn’t a big deal, Shenzhen would face far more than just ten erupting Anomalous Spatial Rifts.

It could be thirty, fifty, even a hundred, hundreds!

There were at least hundreds of keys like Liu Shangming hidden in Shenzhen. If most of them couldn’t be intercepted, a catastrophic disaster was bound to occur!

Shenzhen could become the first major human settlement to fall.

This was something Fan Yun couldn’t accept. His family and friends were in Shenzhen, along with many innocent residents…

So even if it meant his death, he had to stop Liu Shangming.

Even if it just slowed Liu Shangming down a bit so other Demon Hunting Army members could catch up, it was enough to satisfy Fan Yun.

“Hey, do you remember the cigarettes I’ve been giving you all this time?” Fan Yun suddenly spoke.

His voice wasn’t loud, especially since both were running at high speed with the wind roaring in their ears, but Fan Yun knew Liu Shangming would hear him.

As expected, Liu Shangming felt a chill upon hearing the words.

Over time, he had indeed taken quite a few cigarettes from Fan Yun, even often mocking the cigarettes as low level.

But now, hearing Fan Yun’s words, he was immediately flustered.

Could the cigarettes be poisoned?

Otherwise, why mention them now?

“Do you know my profession?” Fan Yun spoke again, sensing Liu Shangming’s breathing had become erratic.

Clearly, Fan Yun’s words had disrupted Liu Shangming’s thoughts.

Still, Liu Shangming remained silent and continued running forward as his Demon Lord instructed him to reach a location outside Shenzhen at all costs.

Though unaware of the reason, he must fulfill the Demon Lord’s command.

Of course, much depended on circumstances.

“Who the hell knows what your profession is!” Liu Shangming gritted his teeth, knowing from the outset Fan Yun was undercover and wouldn’t reveal his true profession.

“Haha… I never lied to you, I really am a blacksmith.” Fan Yun laughed.

“Damn… at this moment you’re still spouting nonsense!” Liu Shangming turned back angrily at Fan Yun.

Fan Yun indeed claimed to be an apprentice under a Shenzhen blacksmith, which made sense, as being a blacksmith apprentice was a typical path for Professionals with average Talent.

Initially, Liu Shangming didn’t care, thinking a blacksmith apprentice was plausible.

But now, it seemed absurd to him, how could a Demon Hunting Army member truly be a blacksmith?

“Ha! This distance should do!” Fan Yun chuckled lightly.

He spoke to slow Liu Shangming down slightly, allowing him to get closer.

Fan Yun reached out toward Liu Shangming and clenched his hand in the air.

Suddenly Liu Shangming felt as if countless ants were biting inside him, something seemed to be burrowing within him.

“Ugh…”

In immense pain, Liu Shangming stopped, unable to step forward and kneeled on the ground, sweating profusely.

Behind him, Fan Yun finally caught up.

“I am indeed a blacksmith, for my Talent is… Magnetic Manipulation,” Fan Yun explained softly.

All the cigarettes he’d given Liu Shangming were indeed non-toxic, but every time he handed one over, he used his hands.

Being a blacksmith, having some iron filings or powder on his hands was normal.

A few times weren’t significant, but Liu Shangming took many cigarettes, inadvertently ingesting quite a bit of iron powder.

This iron powder was nothing for a Professional’s physique…

But encountering Fan Yun was another matter.

“You…” Liu Shangming’s eyes widened as he finally understood why there was such terrible pain inside him.

It turned out the metal components he unknowingly ingested were being manipulated destructively by Fan Yun.

Cold sweat poured from Liu Shangming, relieved that if Fan Yun had been present during the earlier attack, he might have already been doomed.

Fortunately, Fan Yun arrived later, unable to find a suitable distance to control the metal components within him.

This was Fan Yun’s confidence in chasing Liu Shangming, despite his Talent Level being far below Liu Shangming.

“Kid, do you really think this trick is enough to take me down?” Liu Shangming snarled menacingly, eyes bloodshot.

Despite being severely injured and having tiny iron filaments wreaking havoc inside, this level of attack was far from enough to corner a Demon General Level warrior.

Fan Yun responded calmly, “I never imagined I could kill you alone, as long as I slow you down it’s enough.”

Behind him, more Demon Hunting Army members were closing in, leaving Liu Shangming almost no means of escape.

Though the cost might be Fan Yun’s own life.

“Then… go to hell!” Liu Shangming’s Demonic Qi surged again, though thinner than before, his aura changed abruptly.
