Chapter 11: Brave Battle Against the Fierce Devil (Part 1)

  "Haha, I didn't think you'd be able to launch so many attacks. It seems I underestimated you!" As the mist dispersed, Lysander's figure slowly came into view. His body was a mess, likely a result of the previous attack.

  Zhang Fan's heart skipped a beat. Although the monster's voice was somewhat hoarse, it was clearly full of energy and didn't seem to be seriously injured at all.

  The monster didn't have any moves left, but I would be in trouble myself! That last move of mine had consumed too much energy; if this kept up, I wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer!

  "Unfortunately, this level of attack is like a dream to me! It's just scratching an itch!" Lister shook his round head and stared coldly at Zhang Fan. "The more the merrier? You launched so many attacks at once, your power must be dispersed! This kind of attack is nothing but a tickle to me!"

  Zhang Fan couldn't help but smile wryly to himself, for he knew this principle all too well. When dealing with a monster like Lister that was covered in scales, the most effective method was to concentrate one's strength and attack a single point. This scattered style of attacking may have guaranteed a higher hit rate, but it also greatly reduced the overall power of the attacks. However, Lister's speed was simply too fast, and if Zhang Fan didn't use this group attack method, he feared that he wouldn't even be able to touch the wind!

  How can we deal with this thick-skinned and cunning guy who is as swift as the wind?

  Lieseta glared at Zhang Fan, her voice cold as ice: "Although your fancy moves can't hurt me, you're the first human to ever make me feel pain in all these years! For that, you must pay the price!"

  "Are you going to pay the price for this?" Zhang Fan's mind was racing with countermeasures, but his mouth didn't stop: "Can't I not attack you and you'll let me go? If I were afraid of you, I wouldn't have spoken up earlier! Besides, you yourself said that my attacks are just scratching your itch, can itching hurt?"

  "Hmph!" Liesta didn't say anything else and turned his body, pouncing on him fiercely once again!

  Zhang Fan thought for so long and still couldn't find a good way. If it were just him, he could still rely on his speed to dodge the monster's attacks - he didn't believe that this monster was invincible, as long as he kept attacking, he would eventually be able to find its weakness. But now, because of the two girls behind him, he couldn't move from where he stood.

  There was no way, Zhang Fan sighed and launched another dense firepower net as before. Although this thing couldn't cause any harm to Lister, it could still be repelled.

  "Gah gah, I'd like to see how long you can keep this up!" Lysander didn't care about these attacks and stood still, enduring them calmly.

  Zhang Fan secretly lamented, having launched six or seven of these attacks was already his limit. If he did any more, he feared that he would collapse from mental exhaustion and become a typical "man on the chopping board, me as fish meat", only to be slaughtered by this monster.

  "Heh heh, come on!" Lister had already begun to adapt to Zhang Fan's attacks, and those slight pains had been completely overcome by it. Now its expression looked just like a cat teasing its prey.

  Zhang Fan, what kind of person is he? When has he ever been ridiculed like this before? Although he usually appears to be carefree and nonchalant, in his heart, he is an extremely proud person! Being looked down upon by such a disgusting monster is simply an insult to him.

  "It's what you get for yourself!" Zhang Fan slowly straightened his body, and a cold aura began to spread out slowly.

  Lieseta's heart suddenly skipped a beat, had she misjudged the situation? The reason why it was so carefree in teasing Zhang Fan was that from Zhang Fan's previous attacks, it could be seen that this human being in front of him was not a threat to himself at all. But how did his heart start racing all of a sudden?

  The extremely cold and fierce killing intent grew thicker, and in this enclosed space, a whirlwind slowly began to rise. This whirlwind surrounded Zhang Fan and slowly formed into a deep vortex!

  He was actually being ridiculed by a monster, Zhang Fan was completely enraged! At this time, he could no longer consider so much, he wanted to thoroughly destroy the Lister in front of him!

  Even if it would cost him a great deal later, even his life didn't matter! Zhang Fan seemed careless on the surface, but in his heart, he was an extremely proud person!

  Energy slowly gathered, and Zhang Fan's body even began to emit a layer of white misty light!

  He actually started burning his own life and fully played out his potential!

  If he doesn't make a move, then so be it. But once he does, the consequences will be earth-shattering. As the world's top private detective with supernatural abilities, his honor is not something to be tarnished easily!

  Although Lister was a monster, his wisdom was undoubtedly higher than that of most humans. He could naturally see the difference between the human in front of him and the one from just now. If Zhang Fan was just a sword sealed in its scabbard, posing no threat, then this treasure sword had already been unsheathed!

  Fierce and intimidating! This feeling made Lestat, who was originally fearless of heaven and earth, involuntarily shiver with a chill.

  "Wait!" It's only natural for living things to seek benefits and avoid harm, let alone a monster that is smarter than the average person. Lestat instinctively felt that the human in front of him was not to be underestimated, and hastily stopped him: "What do you think you're doing?"

  "What did you say?" Zhang Fan was now fundamentally different from the one just a moment ago, and even his tone of voice made Lesta feel a chill: "Apart from killing you, what else do I plan to do?"

  "Don't you dare!" Lestat's eyes rolled: "I'm telling you, this is inside the belly of the Octopus King! If you're not careful and hurt him, heh heh..."

  Zhang Fan's heart skipped a beat, because the experience was too strange, he had almost forgotten that he was eaten by the giant octopus and came here! If he didn't control it well and made the octopus furious, the sea would definitely be stirred up with huge waves, and the cruise ship on the side would probably be in danger! He knew what kind of attack he was about to launch, if he missed the target and hit the outer wall, a hole with a diameter of one or two meters would be unavoidable.

  "Hmph, I'm nothingness, even in the vast ocean, I can still live well. But as for you humans... it's uncertain..." Lestara's voice trailed off, clearly threatening Zhang Fan.

  What to do? Is it for dignity and fight back regardless of everything, or just endure the beating with eyes wide open?

  Zhang Fan's mind hesitated for a moment. The small-scale attacks were obviously not enough to deal with the thick-skinned guy in front of him, but the powerful attacks might bring catastrophic consequences to the people on the ship...

  Zhang Fan's head was filled with hatred, and the monster in front of him had actually used the lives of everyone on the ship to threaten him! Damn it, a monster that had such high intelligence was truly absurd!

  As the killing intent in his mind weakened, the winds around Zhang Fan also slowly came to a stop. This was completely due to his subconscious hesitation.

  "Hah, you'd better just die obediently!" Seeing Zhang Fan's distraction, Lister suddenly let out a loud roar, and a white light flashed in his huge single eye, rushing towards Zhang Fan.

  "Long-range attack, it's actually a long-range attack!" Zhang Fan immediately tasted the bitter fruit of his lack of focus. Although his body had slightly shifted, the beam of light came too quickly and he couldn't dodge in time, so he could only endure it head-on.

  In a flash, he felt a numbness all over his body and couldn't move at all! Apparently, there was something strange about that white light.

  "Huh? How's the taste?" Liesta came over like a whirlwind and kicked Zhang Fan with a loud thud, sending him flying far away. "You weren't very arrogant just now? With an attitude that seemed invincible, I thought you were really something! But in the end, you still have to be trampled under my feet!"

  Zhang Fan heavily fell to the ground, a sharp pain transmitted from his back. This was already the bottom of the cabin, and in order to resist water pressure, the steel plate was particularly thick, with no elasticity at all, it would be strange if he didn't hurt when falling on it.

  However, Zhang Fan was not surprised but delighted. To know that he was shot by the white light in an instant, numbness all over his body was the only reaction, and he couldn't feel any pain at all. But now that he could feel the pain, it only explained one situation: the numbing effect of the light on him was not very effective!

  It's also a coincidence. The monster's light can paralyze people, but it only cuts off the connection between the mind and body. However, Zhang Fan himself is a superpower user who can use his mind, with an extremely strong spiritual force, so the paralysis effect naturally weakened greatly. Plus, Liesta kicked him hard, which further stimulated his pain nerves, weakening the paralyzing effect even more.

  However, Zhang Fan's heart moved and he suddenly thought of a method. He pretended to be paralyzed all over, lying on the ground motionless, but staring fiercely at Liesta.

  "What are you looking at?" Lestat scowled, saying viciously. "Superpower users... tsk tsk, I haven't eaten one yet, and today I'll have a taste, it must be very delicious..."

  It even knows about superpower holders! To think that this is a secret world for ordinary people, it's basically impossible to know!

  Lisita also knew that the paralysis effect would only last for a short period of time, so she didn't rush to attack the two women lying on the ground. Instead, she coldly laughed and opened her bloody mouth wide, fiercely biting towards Zhang Fan.

  Although it was closed, only a thin slit could be seen, but this big mouth was quite frightening. Lister's entire smooth head was almost split in half, and the open mouth was large enough to swallow a basketball! The sharp teeth on the upper and lower jaws were flashing with cold light, making people have no doubt that if a person's head was swallowed into its mouth, these fierce teeth could bite off even the hardest neck without any effort.
