When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

The Abyssal Stalker was a very unique Starry Sky Giant Beast, adept at spatial traversal and with an extremely short activation time.

To prevent Moxin and Garrett from escaping on the Abyssal Stalker if the battle turned against them, Bai Fu disguised herself as a Sentry, contacting Moxin before the actual fight began.

"I already know what happened on your end, just hold out for three more minutes, and I'll be there. Then... heh, I'll make Bai Fu beg for life but unable to live, beg for death but unable to die, and let her learn what true Hell is!"

This chilling voice instantly agitated Garrett.

Garrett felt such hatred inside—he would have died under Bai Fu's and Cecilia's ambush if not for the timely arrival of Moxin and the Abyssal Stalker, just like Rolf and Sorel.

"All we need to do is hold out for three minutes?"

Garrett's fighting spirit surged.

He turned to glance at Moxin, and both were quite interested in the idea of "letting Bai Fu learn what true Hell is."

After suffering so much at Bai Fu's hands, not giving her a taste of the eighteen levels of Hell would be letting her off too easily. They could even record the torture process and broadcast it online, shattering the beliefs of anyone from the Initial Gate Star System Group who opposed the Secret Tower.

"Don't worry, Commander Sentry, we just need to hold out for three minutes. It's not a difficult task. By the time you arrive, we might have already captured Bai Fu."

Garrett turned to look back at the huge ship cannon.

Launching a sneak attack on Bai Fu with the main cannon during a one-on-one fight might seem dishonorable to some, but come on, they were terrorists! Why would a terrorist care about honor? Moreover, Bai Fu was the first to cast aside any pretense of honor in this battle, so he bore no psychological burden. His only necessity was to buy enough time for the main cannon to fire.

"The two of us will deal with Bai Fu, and we'll leave Cecilia to the Abyssal Stalker."

After allocating their tasks, Garrett leaped up, rocketing towards Bai Fu first like a high-flying rocket projectile.

Bai Fu turned off her communicator, unruffled.

The reason she asked Garrett and Moxin to hold on for just three minutes was that the spaceship's main cannon required 2 minutes and 20 seconds to activate, and she had also allocated an additional 40 seconds to aim.

"No need to fight hard, just buy time."

After saying this to Cecilia beside her, Bai Fu also flew straight towards Garrett and Moxin.

She summoned Black Fu while still en route, and as for her Spiritual Ability Army, since most units didn't have the ability to fly, she only called forth the Heavenly Falling Demon Gravel and Illusionary Law Ball, among other non-humanoid True Spirits, to join the battle.

That would be enough.

She wasn't there to demonstrate her military power; she was just there to buy time. If she appeared too strong, she might actually scare Garrett and Moxin away.

If it weren't for the pesky presence of the Abyssal Stalker, Bai Fu actually wouldn't have needed to make things so complicated. With her current power, she could overwhelm Garrett and Moxin on her own in an all-out assault.

Four silhouettes crisscrossed in the starry sky, like flashes of lightning. Although there were no explosive roars, all the onlookers felt their hearts pound uncontrollably in their chests, their pulses racing with excitement.

"Can we win?"

The members of the Secret Tower aboard the spaceship felt as if they could hardly breathe.

"Guaranteed win!"

An artilleryman patted his companion's shoulder, just as nervous, yet mixed with unprecedented excitement.

The critical moment was here!

This was not only a crucial moment in the Secret Tower's year-long enmity with Bai Fu but also a personal defining moment for him!

If Bai Fu was captured alive in this battle, he, as the gunner, would become famous far and wide, transforming into a Superstar among all the villains in the Initial Gate!

What, you say the main cannon was automatically targeted by AI, and its hitting Bai Fu had nothing to do with him?

"What a joke, tell me who's the one pressing the button to fire the main cannon!"

The gunner was trembling with excitement.

He felt it—his blood was boiling, and his will blazing!

He pictured the bright future that awaited him once he became a Superstar.

"Ten seconds left!"

The gunner's quivering voice alerted everyone.

Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

Receipt of the message had Garrett and Moxin's hearts hanging in suspense.

The spaceship's main cannon, from firing to hitting the enemy, required only a fraction of a millisecond—they had to dodge before the cannon fired since fleeing at the time of firing would be too late.

If they blatantly ran away, it would surely raise Bai Fu's suspicions, so the best way to escape unobtrusively was to take a beating from her, allowing Bai Fu to knock them flying, which would appear quite natural.

Garrett and Moxin exchanged glances, understanding each other instantly. They then flanked Bai Fu and Black Fu on the left and right.

They seemed fierce, going all out, but in reality, they only used measures to save their own skins. Thus, the moment they made contact with Bai Fu, they were immediately sent flying by the dual impact of the Advanced Force Field and the Spiritual Explosion.

As they flew backward, blood spurted from their mouths, then instantly evaporated by the boiling Spiritual Energy.

The injuries Garrett and Moxin sustained were not light, as Bai Fu's Talent naturally came with a percentage-based blood-burning effect, yet at that moment, their faces were beaming with smiles, as radiant as the sun.

"Haha, you fell for it, Bai Fu!"

"Like to set people up, huh? Now it's your turn!"

Garrett and Moxin, eager, prepared to rush up and tie up Bai Fu as soon as the main cannon's energy was depleted.
