Chapter Ten Three Against One

  "It's getting more and more interesting!" The shadowy figure let out a strange laugh, "I didn't think you'd have such perseverance, to be able to track me down here. You truly live up to your name as the 'Dragon of Huaxia'."

  "This time... I must catch you!" Zhou Zheng clenched his fists tightly, glanced at Ou Yangxiu and Zheng Hanfei beside him, and shouted: "You two, retreat."

  "It's been a long time since I've exercised! Let me see if this dragon still has its former flair!"

  "Hah!" Zhou Zheng shouted loudly and rushed towards the residual shadow at high speed, while swinging his left fist forcefully towards the head of the residual shadow.

  However, the residual shadow seemed to have already known Zhou Zheng's routine. With a stretch of his left hand, he patted Zhou Zheng's arm, and instantly, Zhou Zheng's attack deviated from its direction. His fist flew past the residual shadow's ear, and then the residual shadow's left leg slightly bent, with his knee straight at Zhou Zheng's abdomen.

  In this critical situation, Zhou Zheng decided to go head-to-head, slightly bending his right leg, and his knee directly collided with the residual shadow's knee. With a loud crash, the other hands of the two people simultaneously collided. Due to the great force used by each person, both took three steps back, then stared at each other, their eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.

  In a short period of time, the two collided several times and ended up in a stalemate. It can be seen that both men's fighting skills have been honed to perfection.

  "Didn't expect Zhou Zheng Tan to be so formidable!" Zheng Hanfei couldn't help but smack his lips, seeing the current Zhou Zheng's very manly appearance, compared to their past acquaintance, Zheng Hanfei even felt that Zhou Zheng might have a split personality.

  "It's indeed formidable! But to grasp the residual shadow, it's still not enough!" After saying that, Ouyang Xi took a step forward, and Zheng Hanfei hastily grabbed his hand, with eyes full of questioning.

  "What are you going to do?" Zheng Hanfei had already guessed what Ouyang Xiu wanted to do, but he had to hear it from Ouyang Xiu's own mouth.

  "Of course, I'm going to help Zhou Zhengtang!" As expected, Ouyang Xiu's answer was exactly the same as what Zheng Hanfei had thought. Therefore, Zheng Hanfei increased his strength a few more points and grasped Ouyang Xiu tightly. Under the moonlight, a faint red glow appeared on both of their skin.

  "What are you doing?!" Ouyang Xiu exclaimed anxiously.

  "I don't want you to die in vain!" Zheng Hanfei deeply understood how formidable the residual shadow was. Although Ouyang Xiuxiu's swordsmanship was good, he didn't have any weapons on hand, and his combat power had greatly decreased. If he blindly went to help Zhou Zheng, not only would he be of no help, but he might even distract Zhou Zheng, perhaps that's what they meant by "helping the wrong way".

  "I'm fine!" Ouyang Xiu gave Zheng Hanfei a reassuring look, and then pulled out a telescopic baton from his pocket.

  This... Zheng Hanfei was suddenly speechless, he began to admire Ouyang Xiu a bit, he didn't even know when the other party had brought this thing, and still brought it over while participating in the exhibition, could it be said that Ouyang Xiu also had the ability to predict the future, knowing what would happen here in advance?

  "It's just for self-defense." Perhaps guessing what Zheng Hanfei was thinking, Ouyang Xiu said while securing the handcuffs, "In today's society, people are treacherous and there are all sorts of illegal activities like robbery. So it's best to carry some self-defense tools on you. But I'm not quite suitable for this. Let's go!"

  After finishing, Ouyang Xiou broke free from Zheng Hanfei's restraints, holding a police baton and charging towards the silhouette. At this time, Zhou Zheng also saw Ouyang Xiou's actions, let out a slight sigh in his heart, and followed Ouyang Xiou's footsteps, also rushing towards the silhouette.

  "Two against one, huh..." The residual image's tone revealed a hint of excitement, his body lightly jumped up and directly bounced in front of Zhou Zheng, swinging his fists with extremely high speed, while the force was also very sufficient. Zhou Zheng could even feel the gusts of wind transmitted to his face.

  Although his eyes could see the trajectory of the residual shadow's attack, his body couldn't keep up with the speed, and he could only take passive defense. At this time, Ouyang Xiuhu also rushed over, holding a baton in both hands, swinging it forcefully at the residual shadow's legs.

  In response, Zhan Ying directly stretched out his leg and kicked it, causing the police baton and shoe sole to emit a crisp metallic collision sound, making everyone in the scene's pupils shrink.

  The sole has an iron plate! This was Zheng Hanfei's first reaction, taking a deep look at the still-winded Residual Shadow, who didn't show any signs of fatigue. Zheng Hanfei was surprised in his heart, no one had expected that Residual Shadow's physical strength would be so abundant.

  "Not yet!" With one strike not enough, Ou Yang Xi quickly withdrew his sword and changed his move from slashing to thrusting, using all his strength to attack the shadow's head.

  At this moment, an incredible scene appeared. The residual shadow suddenly disappeared like a shadow between the two of them. Ou Yangxiu's attack suddenly went straight to Zhou Zheng. Having no choice, Zhou Zheng could only quickly dodge to the side and avoid the attack. As a result, Ou Yangxiu also lost his balance due to the missed attack, and his body had a tendency to fall over.

  "Be careful!" Zheng Hanfei said, throwing the poker card in his hand towards Ouyang Xiu's back. The card floated in mid-air, and a shadowy figure gradually appeared behind Ouyang Xiu.

  "Too weak!" The residual shadow flicked the poker card stuck between his fingers, and with a casual wave of his hand, the poker card flew towards Zheng Hanfei at an even faster speed.

  Zheng Hanfei knew he couldn't dodge, so he stretched out his hand and used all his strength to throw out another poker card. The two cards collided in mid-air, splitting into two halves, floating gently down, and were finally blown away by a gust of wind to a distant place.

  "Ah!" Zhou Zheng didn't expect the residual shadow to be so ruthless, wanting to kill Zheng Hanfei. This move thoroughly enraged him, and he shouted loudly, rushing to the residual shadow's side, starting to punch its various parts with twice the speed as before.

  At this point, Zhan Ying was slightly stunned and immediately fell into a passive state, able to only constantly retreat backwards, blocking Zhou Zheng's every attack.

  Just then, Ou Yang's attack arrived as well. He was just like Zhou Zheng, seemingly going mad as he chopped wildly. Since the two of them occupied positions that formed an angle, the remnant shadow had nowhere else to escape and could only constantly dodge and defend against their attacks.

  What a great opportunity! Zheng Hanfei knew that now was the best time to defeat the residual shadow, and he drew out five poker cards with a C-shaped arc flying towards the residual shadow.

  At this moment, a strange change occurred. A strong gust of wind blew away the poker cards flying towards the silhouette, and the silhouette's arms made a "clicking" sound. Then, the silhouette's arms formed an X shape to protect its head. At the same time, Ou Yangxiu and Zhou Zheng's attacks arrived one after another. Unfortunately, except for the crisp sounds, nothing happened at all.

  There's an iron plate in his arm! Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned, Can Yue exerted force to push upwards, and the sudden force made Ouyang Xiu and Zhou Zheng involuntarily retreat two steps, providing Can Yue with space and time to move.

  Bang! The residual shadow exerted force and swung its fist, directly hitting Ouyang Xiu's abdomen. Instantly, Ouyang Xiu was like a kite with a broken string, heavily crashing to the ground.

  "Ouyang Xiu!" Zheng Hanfei shouted, seeing that the other party could still move and knew that he was still conscious, finally letting out a sigh of relief. In his heart, he couldn't stop blaming himself. If he had prepared another hat and relied on the action power of his second personality, Ouyang Xiu wouldn't have gotten hurt...

  "It's been a long time since I felt so refreshed!" The Shadow said excitedly, stretching his neck, "Considering you've helped me loosen up my muscles, I'll admit defeat this time. Famous detectives, when the wheel of fate turns again, we'll have a final showdown."

  "Don't escape!" Realizing what the residual shadow was going to do, Zheng Hanfei shouted loudly, but unfortunately his physical strength had been exhausted. He couldn't even walk, let alone run, and could only watch as the residual shadow swung its left hand forcefully towards the ground. A dazzling light immediately flashed into Zheng Hanfei's eyes, making him squint, and then he heard the sound of the propeller gradually disappearing.

  Everyone understood that this time, Zan Ying had truly escaped, and even if they chased after her now, it would be impossible to catch up.

  This time, did we really win?

  This matter was deeply etched in Zheng Hanfei's heart. Although he had retrieved the Shadow Star, he hadn't made the residual shadow atone for its crimes on the spot. To him, that was a loss!

  Next time, I must catch you! Zheng Hanfei gazed deeply at the sky, vowing in his heart that when the wheel of fate turned, it would be the final showdown between him and the remnant shadow.

  "Ouch!" Ou Yang Xiu's voice caught Zheng Han Fei's attention, and upon hearing it, he looked over to see Ou Yang Xiu holding his stomach with one hand and leaning on Zhou Zheng's shoulder with the other, hobbling towards him.

  "Are you okay?" Zheng Hanfei asked with concern.

  "It's nothing!" Ouyang Xiu shook his head, "I really didn't expect the remnant shadow to still have an iron plate hidden in his arm, he's really too cunning."

  "And he's sometimes incredibly fast!" Zhou added from the side, "Just like his name, he disappears leaving only a residual shadow."

  "Let's go!" Zheng Hanfei sighed and turned to walk into the building, "Staying here now is also useless, it's better to return Shadow Star to Yuan Cui as soon as possible, so she won't worry too much."

  The two nodded and followed Zheng Hanfei into the house. In fact, Zheng Hanfei still had a bit to say, that is, they also needed to handle some aftermath, otherwise, this disturbance would be difficult to calm down.
