IUD-CHAPTER 243 RESPECT

As Fang Li's declaration resonated clearly throughout the entire hall, it wasn't just Sherlock who was taken aback; even the individuals on the second-floor gallery and corridor were completely stunned on the spot.

There was no way around it.

Fang Li's declaration, rather than being seen as overly audacious, was more accurately seen as a complete surprise.

Given the circumstances just now, no one could have predicted that Fang Li would suddenly issue such a declaration.

Even Sherlock was no exception to this.

"Pā————!"

In that instant, Fang Li forcefully pushed off the ground. With a crisp sound of propulsion, his entire figure shot forth like a bullet, violently launching forward.

By now, Fang Li's speed had become exceedingly terrifying. At least within the Main God's Dimension's specified Fifth Rank, it was almost impossible to find someone faster than Fang Li.

This wasn't because Fang Li possessed something particularly unique, but rather because his allocation of attribute points was extremely extreme. All his attribute points were allocated to AGI (Agility), with no room for compromise.

In blunt terms, if not for the simplification of attribute point allocation by the Main God's Dimension, along with the underlying enhancement to fully utilize an Attribute's power, Fang Li's extreme attribute allocation would have caused his body to break down due to being unable to handle the extraordinary speed he posses.

In this situation, coupled with skill and equipment amplification, Fang Li's speed had surpassed that of the Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) he had fought before in the God Eater World.

As a result, everyone on the second-floor corridor of the hall, all belonging to I-U, could only see Fang Li's figure suddenly vanish on the spot.

By the time he reappeared, he was already before Sherlock.

"Qiāng————!"

In the next second, a blade of light shone, transforming a sharp dagger into a flash. It appeared like a crescent moon suddenly emerging, viciously slashing toward Sherlock.

This strike was aimed at Sherlock's body.

More precisely, it was aimed at the Death Line on Sherlock's body.

Fang Li's ice-blue Mystic Eyes were fixed on Sherlock's body, his Moonlight Dagger showing no mercy.

At this moment, Fang Li was serious in his actions.

Facing this genuine extraordinary person, and amidst I-U's numerous Superhumans, his odds of success were highest in this instant.

Thus, at the moment of the blade's swing, Fang Li had removed the title of "Butei (S-Rank)" and replaced it with "First Rookie".

If he continued to wear the title of "Butei (S-Rank)", then once Fang Li violated the Butei law against killing, the title would immediately become void and permanently irrecoverable.

Since that was the case, Fang Li needed to change his title.

Therefore, Fang Li was serious and absolutely had no intention of showing mercy.

Unfortunately, his opponent wasn't that easily dispatched.

"Pā————!"

A crisp sound reverberated once again.

It was the sound of a hand heavily grasping another hand.

In view was Sherlock's hand, which had swiftly reached out and seized Fang Li's wrist as he attempted an unexpectedly swift strike.

Consequently, Fang Li's extremely fast attack was unexpectedly blocked by Sherlock.

Fang Li's ice-blue Mystic Eyes hardened fiercely.

Sherlock, on the other hand, calmly observed Fang Li, his eyes revealing no signs of distraction.

"You chose the moment well. After making me react slowly with an unexpected statement, you launched a certain kill strike at an extraordinary speed. It was quite risky. Had this been sixty years ago, I might have truly been killed by you, right?" Sherlock sighed and continued, "Unfortunately, I'm blind. Since nearly being poisoned sixty years ago, I've become like this. So now, I rely on sound, airflow, and feeling to understand my surroundings, not just visual perception. Due to this, when you rushed out, I sensed the change in the airflow around you and reacted in time. Your certain kill strike failed, Fang Li."

As his words trailed off…

"Péng————!"

Suddenly, a gunshot resounded.

The sound appeared only after a flash emerged before Sherlock.

Fang Li was familiar with this scene.

It was the Invisible Bullet.

Moreover, it was the Invisible Bullet fired from an extremely close range.

At this moment, the distance between Fang Li and Sherlock was less than a meter.

Against the Invisible Bullet shot under such conditions, even Fang Li wouldn't have had time to react.

"Bam————!"

The next moment, a heavy stifling sound emerged before Fang Li.

The tremendous force struck him like a heavy blow, causing his body to involuntarily retreat.

Had Fang Li not been wearing a bulletproof vest, he might have already suffered serious injuries.

Sherlock Holmes.

The world's strongest famous detective was already renowned for his mastery of marksmanship, even receiving the title of "Sharpshooter."

Now, armed with the skill of the Invisible Bullet, Sherlock had driven Fang Li back.

Then, Sherlock spoke.

"Although there were unexpected circumstances, my 'Cognis' is still operational. After all, the possibility of battle had been deduced prior to this moment. Now, it's simply come earlier than anticipated."

"Fang Li-Kun, you truly are an interesting person. Even if only for a short while, you truly surprised me with your words and actions. Remarkable indeed."

"However, if you wish to challenge the leader of I-U, it's a bit premature."

"But fine, to show my respect for you, let me demonstrate I-U's power for you."

Having said that, Sherlock addressed everyone on the second-floor corridor.

"In the name of the current leader of I-U, I issue an order to all of you."

"Fight with respect for your opponent."

With that, Sherlock turned and walked toward the entrance of the main hall.

Although Fang Li observed Sherlock ignoring him, nonchalantly exposing his back to view, Fang Li didn't charge forward. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the second-floor corridor.

There, the gazes of each I-U member had sharpened and a murderous aura enshrouded Fang Li's body.

"Kacha…"

Accompanied by this sound, a dark barrel aimed at Fang Li on the second-floor corridor.

"Dá Dá Dá Dá Dá————!"

Gunfire erupted like a roar in a corner of the second-floor corridor, sending countless bullets cascading down, engulfing Fang Li.
