Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1303 613: Powder_4

Chen Changrui contacted Li Banfeng: "Bureau Chief Li, we are ready to activate the cover."

"Go ahead!" Li Banfeng replied through the intercom on his cuff.

Dumpling asked in surprise: "Isn't Bureau Chief Li coming out?"

With a solemn expression, Chen Changrui noted that the fragrance powder was potent, and even a small inhalation had left Chuuni unconscious. How much longer could Li Banfeng last?

Li Banfeng was also reaching his limit; the Mind Traverse Thousand Mountains Technique had surpassed its boundary and couldn't be used. He relied solely on his Home Cultivation physique to battle the toxic dust.

The critical issue now was that the entire office building reeked of the fragrance powder. Li Banfeng's Hundred Flavors Delicate Skill was unable to locate Han Xiaoxuan's position.

Outside the factory, the fire had been extinguished, and a drone with a diameter over two meters hovered above with its propellers spinning.

Chen Changrui sought Li Banfeng's opinion again: "Bureau Chief Li, we are prepared with the protective cover. Please instruct when we should start!"

"Activate immediately!" Li Banfeng ordered, for if not, the dust would surely spread beyond the factory.

Yet Li Banfeng couldn't leave now, as long as Han Xiaoxuan was alive, she could easily destroy the protective cover from inside.

The drone opened its lower compartment, releasing a mass of yellow-green gelatinous substance.

The gelatinous mass expanded in mid-air, transforming from a one-meter dome into a disc over two hundred meters in diameter.

Suspended by the drone at its center, the edge of the disc dropped downwards, extending until it reached the ground, forming a bowl that covered the entire factory.

This was the protective cover; from a distance, it resembled a huge yellow-green soap bubble.

Li Banfeng was puzzled by the distinct yellow-green color.

Its color was thick, making visibility impossible inside and outside the cover.

Gloves emerged from the pocket, sniffing the air: "Boss, do you smell a certain fishiness?"

"Yes," Li Banfeng nodded, "the fishy scent is quite familiar."

"Boss, this should be a technique of Tanxiu."

"Impossible..." Li Banfeng's face turned pale.

"No mistake, it's definitely the phlegm odor!"

Gloves was right; the drone with the two-meter diameter was a magical treasure modified by Tanxiu into special gear. The yellow-green gelatinous mass was concentrated phlegm.

The phlegm, compressed and stretched, first turned into a phlegm disk, then formed a huge bubble, covering the dust and factory beneath it. The phlegm's high viscosity ensured the dust wouldn't scatter and would be heavily absorbed by the phlegm.

The intercom sounded again: "Bureau Chief Li, we're ready for grouting."

Li Banfeng shuddered: "What does grouting mean?"

Chen Changrui came up with a suitable explanation: "It's about pouring the gelatinous substance from the top of the protective cover to completely clean the dust."

Li Banfeng imagined the grouting scene and asked Chen Changrui: "Is this slurry and the protective cover both Tanxiu techniques?"

After a moment of brewing, Chen Changrui responded: "Bureau Chief Li, your signal isn't very clear, I didn't catch that!"

Indeed!

Li Banfeng exclaimed: "Don't grout yet, wait for my order!"

"Yes!" Chen Changrui let out a sigh of relief; as long as the protective cover wasn't damaged, the dust wouldn't escape. The rest awaited Bureau Chief Li's command.

Li Banfeng continued searching for Han Xiaoxuan and reached the warehouse area, suddenly encountering a robust man appearing amidst the dust, atop the office building.

He raised the powder case to utilize the mirror's reflection to open a hole in the protective cover.

Li Banfeng flew to the rooftop, knocking Han Xiaoxuan down with one kick.

"Handsome boy, I'm not in the mood to play with you now. Look closely, this is a big mess of phlegm, we're about to drown here!" Han Xiaoxuan adjusted the angle of the powder case, reflecting light at Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng easily dodged, but Gloves couldn't evade and got burned through.

Li Banfeng used Trample Over Thousands of Rivers Technique, stirred up a cloud of dust, obstructing the mirror's reflection, and saved Gloves. Fortunately, the protective cover wasn't well-lit, and the hole was small, coin-sized.

"How careless!" Li Banfeng checked Gloves, but Han Xiaoxuan had disappeared once more.

Gloves, panting, said: "It's not a big deal, Boss, that powder case should be his lifeline. I marked it! He can't escape now!"

Li Banfeng had long realized the powder case was an external device; removing it would subdue the unkillable Han Xiaoxuan.

After sensing briefly, Gloves pointed down: "He's on the third floor."

Li Banfeng passed through the floor straight to the third floor, tackling Han Xiaoxuan to the ground.

Han Xiaoxuan got up, intending to flee, only to find a halo under his feet: "What's this? Did you bring the Dark Star Bureau's boundary switch? Was there originally a boundary here?"

The Dark Star Bureau had a boundary switch.

The Dark Star Bureau had many good things.

Li Banfeng smiled: "That's right, it's a boundary. Let's see where you can run!"

"Handsome boy, if you don't want to lose me, just say it. What's the point in trapping me with a boundary? You can only trap my body, not my heart!" With a puff, Han Xiaoxuan transformed into a cloud of dust.

Li Banfeng wasn't worried; even as dust, he couldn't escape the boundary, and before the Home Cultivation boundary, the dust would burn to ash.

But surprisingly, Li Banfeng found Han Xiaoxuan appearing at the end of the hallway.

He had escaped the boundary!

How did he do it?

Li Banfeng was astonished but saw Han Xiaoxuan hesitating at the end of the corridor, not fleeing.

Han Xiaoxuan wanted to get away without clashing with Li Banfeng, but wasn't afraid to fight him either.
