“You tried to hit me with an ore?”

Lan Dahai looked at Wang Xiao suspiciously with a strange expression on his face.

Although his current job was more of a civilian job, he had also participated in battles in the past and had seen all kinds of moves. This was the first time he had seen an ore being used as a weapon!

“I’m rich! What can you do?”

Wang Xiao curled his lips and replied arrogantly. His previous embarrassment of being unarmed had disappeared without a trace. He did not have any melee weapons and tools, but he could take out as many ores as he wanted!

Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Xiao threw out another two pieces of copper ore. There was a half-second gap between them, and they smashed towards Lan Dahai like meteors chasing after the moon!

Lan Dahai was taken aback by Wang Xiao’s nonchalant attitude. However, he quickly regained his senses and dodged the first ore. At the same time, he swung his saber and deflected the second ore. He took three steps forward and slashed at Wang Xiao!

While Lan Dahai’s reaction was fast, Wang Xiao’s reaction was not slow either. Wang Xiao took three steps back to widen the distance between them. With a loud roar, he swung his arms and instantly threw out another seven or eight ores!

Realizing that his aim was average, Wang Xiao did not aim at all this time. The seven or eight ores attacked almost at the same time, smashing towards Lan Dahai’s face!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The ore whistled through the air. No matter how fast Lan Dahai was, he couldn’t withstand the barrage of hits.

After barely dodging three or four pieces, Lan Dahai was hit in the shoulder by a piece of ore. Although he was not injured, it still made his movements slightly sluggish. Immediately after, another piece of ore hit his forehead!

BANG!

With a dull thud, Lan Dahai felt as if he had been kicked in the head. He staggered back a few steps before he could stabilize himself. He felt a dull pain in the spot where he had been hit. He raised his hand and touched the purple blood on his hand.

“Damn it!”

Lan Dahai roared in pain. He raised his saber and continued to attack

After discovering that the ores could be used as a weapon, Wang Xiao seemed to have opened the door to a new world. With long-range attacks, he no longer engaged in close combat with Lan Dahai. Instead, he maintained a distance of about five steps.

At this distance, Lan Dahai’s blade couldn’t touch Wang Xiao, but Wang Xiao could try his best to ensure his hit rate—although it was still pitifully low.

A few minutes later, the floor of the warehouse was filled with ores. There were at least 180 pieces scattered all over the place.

Lan Dahai’s face was covered in blood, but he seemed to realize that he couldn’t charge forward forcefully. He retreated more than ten steps with his saber and stared at Wang Xiao as he panted heavily.

Although Wang Xiao was not injured, his current state was also not great.

Although those ores were only the size of a fist, each of them weighed more than two kilograms. Coupled with the fact that his stamina had not recovered from the previous ranking assessment, he felt like his arms were filled with lead and he could not lift them.

Even so, Wang Xiao still took out two more ores from his territory. He held them in his hand and pretended to be relaxed as he activated his mocking mode. “Come on! Weren’t you very arrogant just now? Come over!”

“You’re really courting death…”

Lan Dahai squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, but he did not take any action.

He had been hiding on the Blue Planet for many years without being discovered because of his extraordinary caution. However, what he didn’t know was that Wang Xiao had also seen through his caution.

“I wonder who’s courting death. Couldn’t you have just let me leave?”

Wang Xiao sneered and did not hide the ridicule on his face. “Now that things have turned out like this, only one of us can walk out today!”

“That person must be me!”

Lan Dahai wiped the blood off his face and smiled confidently. As he spoke, he nudged the ore on the ground with the tip of his foot. “You’re just a warehouse supervisor. I don’t believe you still have any ores!”

Wang Xiao clicked his tongue when he heard that. He opened the interface and looked at the remaining ores. The corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably. “You have to believe in jinxes…”

Lan Dahai suddenly rushed over with his saber while the word “jinxes” was still lingering in the air!

Wang Xiao’s expression changed and he hurriedly threw out the ore. However, he did not expect Lan Dahai’s forward charge to be just a feint. He only took a step forward and suddenly jumped to the side!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two pieces of ore flew through the air and smashed into the wall of the warehouse with a loud bang.

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he saw Lan Dahai rushing towards him again!

Without any hesitation, Wang Xiao immediately took out more ores and threw them at the other party. In the end, Lan Dahai still did a feint. With just a turn of his body, he made the two ores miss again.

“A war of attrition..

Wang Xiao could see through Lan Dahai’s tricks, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he could only defend passively now, while the other party could adapt according to the situation.

If Wang Xiao didn’t make a move, Lan Dahai would take the opportunity to close the distance. However, if he threw out the ore, the other party would immediately dodge and consume his ore reserves.

Most importantly, Lan Dahai’s movements were indistinguishable from reality. In order to maintain a safe distance, Wang Xiao could only be tricked time and time again. He threw out nearly 50 ores in a minute, but none of them hit the target.

After regaining control of the battle tempo, Lan Dahai’s movements seemed to have become much lighter. Wang Xiao’s expression became uglier and uglier.

Wang Xiao’s remaining ores could kill Lan Dahai 800 times over. He was still rich, but the problem was that his stamina could not withstand it!

The last piece of [Fine Copper Ore] fell to the ground less than half a meter away, and Wang Xiao’s arm hung limply.

Lan Dahai sneered. He narrowed his eyes and sized up Wang Xiao from six steps away. “Why aren’t you throwing it? Are you out of strength?”

“I have the strength! It’s up to me whether I want to throw it or not. It’s none of your business!”

Wang Xiao’s eyes widened as he shouted aggressively. However, his arms hung weakly by his sides, as if he did not even have the strength to move his fingers.

“You still have strength, is that right?”

Lan Dahai sneered and placed the saber on his shoulder with one hand. “Come, I’ll stand here and let you smash me!”

Wang Xiao gritted his teeth and was silent for a moment. He took out another piece of [Fine Copper Ore] from his territory, but it fell to the ground in less than a second with a clang.

Seeing this, the smile on Lan Dahai’s face deepened. With one hand on his waist, he slowly took a few steps forward and slowly placed the knife on Wang Xiao’s shoulder. The heavy weight instantly made Wang Xiao’s body lean to the side.

“I’ll give you one more chance.”

Lan Dahai narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Xiao with a mocking smile.

“Hit me.”

Wang Xiao gritted his teeth and glared at Lan Dahai. However, in the next second, the bitter expression on his face suddenly disappeared.. “You said it yourself! “
