Xia Fei lunged at Scar at a speed of 800m/s, his right arm unsheathing Chasing Light.
Traveling at a speed of several dozen meters was something that Xia Fei could do in an instant, but what was inconceivable was that Scar actually managed to react in such a short amount of time.
In that instant, the thick hairs on his body suddenly stood up like steel needles, sharp and penetrating.
Scar was now like a porcupine, his defense impenetrable from head to toe. This was the power of the Thousand Thorns ability. He could control his hair at will, sometimes as soft as silk, and sometimes as hard as needles.
The steel needles were fifty centimeters long, which already exceeded the length of Chasing Light. In other words, Xia Fei could not pierce Scar's body without injuring himself.
The sharp needles were more than enough to pierce through the defense of the Windshade Mark IV combat suit. Unless Xia Fei went all out and sacrificed his own arm to kill him, Xia Fei would not be able to do anything to Scar unless he risked his life.
Xia Fei did not want to end up in an internecine situation with Scar. Seeing that his arm was about to come into contact with the steel needles on Scar's body, Xia Fei forcefully stopped his attack and twisted his body to the side in an unimaginable manner, charging toward Bannan.
* Shing! *
Chasing Light drew a beautiful arc as it sliced off both of Banan's legs. The incision was neat and uniform, and before Banan could even understand what was going on, his calves below his knees were gone.
He felt his body suddenly sink as his whole body tilted to one side.
* Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh! *
Dao Ba's reaction was considered fast. Countless steel needles suddenly left his skin and shot out like bullets towards the surroundings!
This attack was more like a bomb blast because the steel needles were shot in all directions without any pattern. The entire room was under Scar's attack.
Xia Fei gritted his teeth and exerted strength in his legs. Relying on his extraordinary mental agility, he hid behind an air quality analyzer before the steel needles could reach him.
* Bang bang bang bang! *
A series of crisp sounds rang out, and the entire command center looked completely different. Countless steel needles pierced the walls and instruments, turning this one thousand square meters of space into a jungle, a jungle full of cacti.
The pitiful Berry, who had no idea what was going on, had just had his legs sliced off by Xia Fei's Chasing Light, and before he could even react, Scar's steel needles had turned him into a porcupine, killing him on the spot.
Originally, Xia Fei wanted to keep Berry alive and did not plan to take his life right away, for the man's sound wave ability was still somewhat useful to him. However, plans could not keep up with changes, and Scar had overreacted in his panic, implicating this unlucky fellow.
Bang!
An unknown instrument suddenly exploded due to Scar's attack, emitting a string of beautiful sparks. The shockwave knocked the small instruments to the ground, and the command room was in a mess. Although the other instruments did not explode, they were not lightly damaged. The lights suddenly went out, and the command center was plunged into darkness.
The air quality analyzer was made of several centimeters thick alloy plates, so Xia Fei did not suffer any injuries from hiding behind it.
This guy sure has quick reflexes, Xia Fei muttered to himself in the dark.
Be it in terms of offense or defense, the Thousand Thorns ability user was quite good. Xia Fei had already lost the best opportunity to kill him when he failed to land a hit.
The room flickered a few times, and the six cold light source lights automatically turned on after the fluorescent lamps were damaged. The command center was now a gloomy blue.
"Who are you!" Scar roared furiously, his voice carrying a dense smell of gunpowder.
He stood there like a huge cactus, looking around with his eyes. "Come out if you have the guts!"
Though the Thousand Thorns ability was quite powerful, its weakness was very obvious. Once it was used, it would be like a tree stump, unable to move, and all it could do was stay where it was and use its needle-like hair to attack.
Xia Fei hid behind the air quality analyzer and glanced at him, ignoring him.
"If you are a true warrior, then come out and fight with me! Do you dare? Scar was trying to goad Xia Fei into coming out, but Scar had already activated all his defenses, so Xia Fei would not come out until he found a suitable attack.
Looking around, Xia Fei suddenly discovered that there was a huge hammer in the corner of the wall. This hammer was at least four to five meters long and looked rather heavy.
Xia Fei quickly came up with an idea.
He raised both his legs and kicked the air quality analyzer. The four-meter-long and 1.8-meter-tall analyzer suddenly slid across the floor, heading straight for Scar.
Scar had already used his ability, so he couldn't move at all. He was hit hard by the machine and rolled into the corner. His head was down and his feet were up. He couldn't move, and the huge machine was like a wall that surrounded him.
Xia Fei smiled as he picked up the giant hammer from the ground and weighed it in his hand. It weighed at least three hundred kilograms, which was not light at all.
Dragging the hammer behind him, Xia Fei walked toward the corner of the wall. He purposely rubbed the hammer against the metal floor, making an unpleasant and ear-piercing sound.
Scar's expression changed. The ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing against metal made his scalp go numb. He was now stuck in the corner of the wall, unable to move. He had no way of knowing what was happening behind him.
* Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! *
Scar sensed the danger and did his best to release those steel needles. Unfortunately, the angle of his shots had already been sealed by the machine, so he could only hit the ceiling, unable to threaten Xia Fei at all.
Xia Fei spat a few mouthfuls of saliva on his hand and swung the hammer at Scar in the corner of the wall. Why are you asking me?
As the saying went, everything had its vanquisher. Although Chasing Light was a little short and could not pierce through the forest of steel needles that were fifty centimeters long, the hammer was over four meters long, so it was more than enough to smash into Scar's body.
Scars howled like a pig being slaughtered, and after a few more strikes, his voice became weaker and weaker, finally turning into a low whimper. Xia Fei did not give up, swinging the sledgehammer several dozen more times before he finally stopped.
* Clang! *
Xia Fei tossed the bloodied hammer to the side, while Scar was now a pile of flesh mixed with the hard steel needles on his body. It was no longer possible to tell which was his flesh and which was his hair.
Looks like I'll have to prepare a hammer in my spatial ring in the future. Sometimes, this toy is much more useful than a knife. Xia Fei lit a cigarette and said.
Thats just a special case. Youre a speed ability user and learned assassination techniques. How can you use a hammer? Phantom furrowed his eyebrows and said. In his opinion, this was a terrible idea.
About sixty of Blade Scar's men had successfully completed their mission of luring the main force. They retreated from the entrance to the highest level of the base. Many of them had light or heavy injuries on their bodies. They were cursing and complaining about being sent to their deaths by Blade Scar and the like.
The four snipers in the corner were as calm as ever. They had sealed off the entrance to the top floor, protecting and luring the small team to retreat.
Supporting each other, this small team arrived at the entrance of their base, but they suddenly discovered that the alloy door that was supposed to welcome their victorious return was locked from the inside. No matter how hard they pushed, they could not open it.
F * ck! We've been sold by Scar!
Dont spout nonsense. Why would the boss sell us out?
Then why can't we open this door?
The minions were truly panicking. The main force of several thousand people was just one floor below, and it would not take them more than a few minutes to reach this place. If they could not hide in the base, they would be dead meat.
A pirate with an earring raised the weapon in his hand and fired at the door. The others came to their senses and imitated him, using their weapons to bombard the door.
After firing for a while, the pirates discovered that it was simply impossible. For the sake of this operation to lure the seven major forces, every door and window had been reinforced, and thermal weapons were not enough to destroy them.
It's over. What do we do now?
Why dont we charge back? The terrain on the next floor is at least more complicated than here. If we charge back down, we might still have a chance of survival, said one of the more clear-headed pirates.
Dont be silly. The enemies will turn us into sieves before we charge down. There are several thousand of them.
Xia Fei hid behind a thick metal plate and opened a peephole, smiling as he looked at these desperate pirates. Xia Fei was the one who had blocked those doors, and now that he was the only one left alive in these hundreds of rooms, he was waiting to watch a good show.
At this time, the vanguard of the allied forces had already rushed up and fired at the pirates who could not enter the door. The sound of the laser weapons firing was very beautiful, like a kind of fly-extinguishing lamp commonly used in summer, emitting a whooshing electromagnetic sound.
The snipers lying in ambush on the flanks had their escape routes sealed. Helpless, the pirates could only retaliate, barely managing to fire a few shots at the allied forces.
Of course, their struggles were futile. After all, the allied forces numbered in the thousands, and their advantage in strength was too obvious. In just a few seconds, these unlucky pirates were all turned into corpses.
Ning Baichen immediately noticed something strange the moment he entered the highest floor of the base. Scar's men were merely pawns in charge of luring the enemy. Now that the main force had been successfully lured into his trap, why were these people still outside? Were they not courting death?
His heart was filled with doubts, but Ning Baichen did not show it on his face.
The most cautious Huang Bocheng was the first to notice the strangeness of this floor. Elder Ning, something is very wrong here. Why are all these rooms sealed with metal plates? Could this be a trap?
Liu Jian, who had never gotten along with him, scoffed at Huang Bocheng. Look at how cowardly you are. So what if it's sealed? Can't you just get someone to blow it up?
He turned around and said to his men, "Quick, find a way to open a path for me. Rush in and kill Knife Scar and his men!"
Ning Baichen felt that something was wrong the more he looked at it. According to the plan, they should have immediately sealed the entrance, then Berley, who was lying in ambush in the room, would use his sound ability to kill off most of the weaker warriors, then they would surround them from the inside.
The main force had been here for quite some time now, yet there was still no sign of movement from Scar's side. Could something have gone wrong?
Ning Baichen's expression turned ugly at the thought. The warriors of the Ning family were even more panicked. They realized that the situation was different from what the old patriarch of the Ning family had told them to do, so they were at a loss for what to do.
