162 Chapter - It'S Just A Speed Bump.

“Cough, cough!”

The other two High-Risk Sequences crawled out of the ruins.

They didn't seem to be in mortal danger.

But that quickly changed.

A bloody hand grabbed the irritable man from the ruins.

In just a brief moment, all the blood in his body rapidly evaporated.

Crimson, bloody steam seeped from his skin.

He immediately lost the strength to struggle.

Xia Lian walked out from the side, a meaningful smile on her face.

“Seeing you so agitated, I’ll let you bleed a bit to calm down~ You probably won’t die just yet.”

The other person was instantly startled.

He had intended to escape quickly.

But the next second, his body lost coordination.

He stumbled and fell to the ground.

His limbs then disintegrated.

“Ah ah ah ah!!!”

Gu Wenxin merely flicked his bloodless blade, his gaze extremely indifferent, his terrifying Spiritual Power already far beyond its normal state.

When it came to dealing with villains, he had always been slightly stronger than Mu Luo.

Piercing screams echoed within the enclosed space.

Gu Wenxin looked down at the fallen man with a cold expression.

“Shut up.”

The intense killing intent stimulated the nerves of the fallen man.

Under a strong will to survive, he actually managed to stop screaming.

Fearing that the person in front of him would cut him down the next second.

Ability Users have very tenacious vitality.

Even with fatal injuries, they can cling to life for a period.

If they can receive aid, there's still a chance to survive.

Gu Wenxin shifted his gaze after the man quieted down.

If he kept staring, he might directly go for the kill.

He had to keep his promises, no matter what.

Now, only Sequence 066 had the ability to move.

Seeing no escape, Sequence 066 could only face reality, turning his head to glare furiously at these suddenly appearing people.

When he saw his two companions, who had already lost the ability to move, he was terrified.

These people came with killing intent!

“You're not from the Countermeasure Bureau, who are you!?”

“Just kind people passing by. Aren’t you surprised?”

The youthful form of Ye Yao appeared in Sequence 066’s field of vision.

Her beautiful smile was captivating.

But in this thrilling scene, it appeared exceptionally terrifying.

Sequence 066 finally reacted, his face turning extremely grim.

“Sequence Zero! You’ve been tracking me!”

By now, how could he not know?

He had been tracked!

He had attracted a huge crisis.

And hadn't noticed it at all!

How did these ghost-like people appear here?

“We have no grievances, do you really want to exterminate us?”

Sequence 066 clenched his fists, suppressing the anger in his heart.

The people who appeared before him were extremely powerful.

With his strength, he couldn't possibly win.

His Supernatural Ability was 【Energy Burst】, which could imbue anything with the property of explosion.

If his Spiritual Power was sufficient, he could turn all the land under his feet into explosives.

This was also why he was confident in using nearby residents as hostages.

But now, he was trapped in a sealed dark space.

Even the ground he touched was filled with profound darkness.

The sensation of his Spiritual Power reaching the ground was like a stone sinking into the sea.

He received no response at all.

He was completely suppressed.

Sequence 066's heart was filled with despair for a moment.

But the next second, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Since Sequence Zero didn't act immediately, it seemed they still considered him valuable.

Perhaps he could survive.

If he didn't have to use his trump card, he wouldn't.

“I am an A-rank Esper, and I possess some value. Instead of killing me, why not let me work for you? I can tell you everything I know.”

Ye Yao seemed to see through his thoughts.

“No, we’re only keeping you alive to tell you one thing.”

Ye Yao pulled Sugar Cube from behind her, her expression incredibly angry.

“We found this child in your basement. You despicable guys actually dared to abduct little girls; you are truly heinous.”

Sequence 066: “?”

He almost laughed in anger.

First, he didn't even know this pink-haired girl.

And where did that dilapidated civilian house have a basement?

It was simply an insult!

Sequence 066 finally understood.

This silver-haired girl had no intention of letting him live.

This time, he might be doomed to die!

“You forced me to do this!!!”

Sequence 066 instantly activated the purple flames within his body.

Terrifying Spiritual Power erupted from within him.

The uncontrolled power that overflowed was incredibly violent.

It was very similar to when Wu Mi lost control.

And behind him, the two people who had already lost the ability to move also erupted with terrifying auras.

Clearly, the purple flames within their bodies had been activated.

Their surging Spiritual Power quickly repaired their physical bodies.

For a moment, it pushed back Xia Lian and Gu Wenxin.

Ye Yao did not stop them from 'bursting'.

She finally understood why the Demon King in stories would foolishly wait for the weak hero to power up.

Perhaps it was confidence in her own strength.

Or perhaps she wanted to see what tricks the opponent would pull.

Ye Yao wasn't afraid of things going wrong.

She wasn't the Demon King, and the opponent wasn't the hero.

Xia Lian pitifully leaned towards Ye Yao.

“White Kitty, the enemy’s surging Spiritual Power is so unreasonable.

How about letting me experience what Jiang Huashen felt back then?”

“Useless thing, get out of the way.”

Ye Yao mercilessly cursed Xia Lian.

But the latter showed an expression of enjoyment.

“Curse me more~ I like to hear it.”

“Gross.”

Ye Yao had no choice.

She looked at Gu Wenxin on the other side.

He, on the other hand, didn't seem to feel any pressure.

The person whose limbs were severed had already reconnected them under the surging Spiritual Power.

His Spiritual Power had also received a huge amplification.

It seemed to have reached a level of four thousand.

Much higher than Gu Wenxin's normal state.

But Gu Wenxin, instead of retreating, charged forward with his sword.

His overwhelming power cut the rampaging villain in two like mowing grass.

He dealt effective counter damage!

Any ordinary person might have been scared to tears by this ultimate counter-attribute.

But Ye Yao merely gave a look of approval.

“Although its versatility isn't great, its counter-effectiveness is undeniable. It even cuts down rampaging bad guys easily.”

In contrast.

This cat-sister was a bit disappointing.

As soon as the stats gap opened, she came crying.

Why is she so weak?

Ye Yao glanced at her.

【Xia Lian wants to use this opportunity to show weakness and cuddle with you for comfort, completely disregarding the enemy's surging Spiritual Power.】

Ye Yao: “?”

So you can win, but you just want to be scolded, is that it?

Ye Yao almost thought that Xia Lian’s original Sequence 009 was picked up from the street.

Why is there a segment of 'playing the pig to eat the tiger'?

“I order you to quickly eliminate him, otherwise, don't even think about touching me.”

Xia Lian raised her hand and made a grasping motion.

“Boom!”

The person floating in the air instantly exploded into a spray of blood.

She had already planted bombs inside the enemy earlier.

A slight difference in Spiritual Power simply couldn't compensate for the difference in Supernatural Abilities.

Even when rampaging, they couldn't catch up to the front-rank Sequences.

“Can I ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) touch you now?” Xia Lian’s eyes were full of anticipation.

“Be serious! We’re fighting right now!”

The commotion here must have already attracted the attention of the Countermeasure Bureau.

Ye Yao looked at Sequence 066, who was floating in the air.

She vaguely sensed traces of his Spiritual Power breaking through its limits.

A fake S-rank?

Just a speed bump, that's all.
