"Hunter!"
Li Yao touched his chest and felt a wet, sticky liquid with a slight fishy smell. The bulletproof and stab proof suit made of super fiber material was as fragile as a wet newspaper under the attack of the hunter. Along with the excruciating pain, Li Yao felt that every pore on his body was shrinking.
But he still tried to stay calm and sensed every millimeter of the enemy's movement in the darkness. In the meantime, he shouted, "Lady Gray Mist told me a lot of things. I also heard a lot of things from you and Daniel Zhang. Tell me, if we are really living in the maze of time and the prison of reincarnation, why don't you try to escape with us instead of being a poor, pathetic dog?"
"Because it's impossible for us to escape."
In the darkness, the Hunter's casual voice came over. However, what was different from his voice was his most aggressive attack. Before he finished his last word, he had turned into countless gusts of wind and attacked Li Yao from various angles. The suffocating feeling that the space was frozen hit Li Yao's heart again.
Thankfully, after swallowing the soul fragments deep inside Mr. Zhang Jiashu's brain, Li Yao's strength had been greatly improved. He was actually able to barely keep up with the Hunter's pace. The two of them launched a series of dazzling, lightning-fast attacks in the almost frozen space. It was obviously a collision of flesh and blood, but a series of dazzling sparks seemed to be bursting out.
At this time, the Spartan not far away roared again. Clusters of plasma temporarily illuminated the dark tunnel, allowing Li Yao to see that the hunter had already pulled out a pistol. The muzzle of the gun was very close to the tip of his nose.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
BAM! BAM! The Hunter shot seven bullets in a row. Thankfully, Li Yao reacted in time and collapsed as if he had no bones. While dodging the bullets, he kicked the Hunter's shin hard. When the brilliance of the plasma died down, the two of them resumed their tranquility and hibernation.
"In the thousands of reincarnations, countless hot-blooded young men who were full of hope and ambition like you tried to challenge this prison, but none of them ended well."
Hunter hid the burning red muzzle behind his back and continued, "Student Li Yao, what are you trying to do? Destroy this prison, or completely destroy this planet? This beautiful, resplendent planet where six billion people live, our only home? Do you know how dark and dangerous the world outside Samsara Prison is? Do you know how bleak and painful our future will be without Earth? No, you know nothing about the real universe. You will only destroy yourself and the future of six billion people!
"While the situation is still manageable, quickly give up on your laughable fantasies and return to the correct path. Join the Apocalypse Organization, and you'll be able to obtain almost everything within the rules. Not only in this life, but also in the next five or ten lives. Everything you desire will fall from the sky. You'll be able to easily obtain anything you want. You'll become the true guardian of Earth!"
"And then?"
Li Yao sneered, "Am I going to watch the Earth be destroyed again and again without doing anything?"
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Gunshots rang out in the darkness again. This time, Hunter opened fire in the direction of Li Yao's sneer.
But Li Yao wasn't there, just as Hunter wasn't where his voice came from. Both sides' attacks hit nothing.
"We have almost infinite lives anyway, and we can be reborn every time we are destroyed. What does it matter?"
Hunter continued to persuade him patiently, as if he was not the one who had just shot a fatal bullet at Li Yao. "What's not good about such a life?"
"No, it's not good at all."
Li Yao held his breath and clenched the lightsaber at his waist. Every hair on his body stood up as an antenna to search for traces of Hunter. "If we give in and even indulge in such a life, are we real life or puppets controlled by others? Or even worse than puppets, a series of numbers in a super computer? No. Happiness or pain, success or failure, peace or war, none of that matters. I simply do not like a life that is controlled, anesthetized, and defined by other people!
"Whatever is outside of the prison of reincarnation, and whether or not the universe is darker than we imagined, it is our own choice. We are willing to bear all the costs. Nothing can restrain us!"
"We have already made our choice!"
The hunter raised his voice. "A long time ago, we chose the path of recklessness and lawlessness, only to destroy everything, including ourselves and the universe. At this moment, the prison of reincarnation is the consequence that we have to bear. We have to reflect on all our mistakes here and wash away all our sins. Only after billions of reincarnations can we be reborn!
"Right now, it is not far away from the end of reincarnation. I can vaguely sense that most of the heroic spirits have been cleansed of the sins deep inside their souls and become purer and more ethereal than ever. Only a small group of … germs, viruses, and cancers like you are still not convinced. You are still seething, trying to lead the six billion heroic spirits to the wrong path again and make the punishment and redemption of billions of years in vain. No. I will not let you succeed."
"What a joke!"
Li Yao shouted, too. "Who is qualified to judge and punish us except for ourselves? What is the so-called 'Earth's Will'? I will never allow such a monster to climb over our heads, give orders, control our lives, and kill us! "
"You really don't understand anything, Mr. Li Yao."
Hunter smiled. "The 'will of Earth' is not a monster. Of course, it does not mean that a planet such as Earth has really come alive and boasted its own life. The so-called 'will of Earth' is the will of all earthlings. It is the ultimate product of the intense regret, pain, guilt, fear, regret, and all the other feelings that we have gathered. It is our intense desire to repair the universe that we have destroyed. It is the judgment that we have made for ourselves!
"Therefore, it is not somebody else who has built such a prison of reincarnation and thrown us into this place. We have created such an amazing space ourselves and performed sincere meditation and prayer for the six billion heroic spirits with thousands of reincarnations and billions of years. Or in your words, it is a special 'training in seclusion'!
"Right now, the training is about to end. We will arrive at the grand universe with a brand-new appearance and embark on a brand-new journey. But you are going to return everything to the original point at such a critical moment. Do you really know what you are doing?"
"What —"
Li Yao was dazed.
Right then, the rushing train drove out of the tunnel.
In front of them was a valley between two mountains that rose to the clouds. A bridge flew across the valley. Under the scourge of the lightning, thunder, and storm, the bridge seemed to be shivering and in imminent danger.
In the valley, there should have been a clear stream, but at this moment, it was drowned by the torrential rain and the mud rolling down from the mountains on both sides. It turned into an evil dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, letting out deafening roars.
"Shua!"
Right when the dim light outlined the two of them, the hunter had already lunged at Li Yao from the left rear. There was no telling when he got hold of a very luxurious black long-handled umbrella, but he slashed at Li Yao's abdomen with the umbrella as if it were a katana. Despite Li Yao's quick reflexes, he was still wounded so deep that his bones could be seen.
In the meantime, Li Yao took the opportunity to activate his lightsaber and waved it behind him.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
After a series of noises that sounded like fluorescent lights, the hunter's right hand that was holding the umbrella flew into the air. His wound was burnt black as if it had been burned by a high temperature.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The hunter was not affected by the superweapon in Li Yao's hand at all, nor did he feel sad for losing his right arm for even half a second. His left hand was still holding the gun in the most precise and stable way, firing all the bullets at Li Yao's face.
His patience and calmness finally paid off. Li Yao seemed to have been shot. His whole body trembled as he fell from the top of the train and into the bridge where the raging waves were surging. His lightsaber also flew out of his hand and flew far away.
"Li Yao!"
Lady Gray Fog cried out in alarm not far away, but she was also entangled by a few Awakened from the Apocalypse Organization. The other side also had Finesse, so it was not easy to get rid of them in a short time.
At this moment, something strange happened.
The flying sword had already flown into the storm, far away from Li Yao, and even out of the sight of the people on the roof of the train.
However, as if attracted by some mysterious force, it made a strange turn in the air and stabbed at the wall and roof of the train diagonally from below. The scorching flames instantly penetrated the train and drilled out from under the hunter's feet.
The hunter did not expect Li Yao to have grasped the power of telekinesis in just a few days. His control of direction, distance, and angle was so exquisite.
All his attention was on Li Yao, who was falling from the sky. He did not expect a lightsaber to suddenly drill out from under his feet. The scarlet light instantly pierced through the middle axis of his body, and from his crotch to the top of his head, his whole body was split into two halves of a charred corpse.
At this moment, Li Yao threw out his belt, hooked it on the window of the train, and jumped up again.
His face was covered with soybean-sized beads of sweat. He first glanced at the hunter's body, and after confirming that this guy was definitely dead, he looked at the shocking wounds on his shoulder and abdomen that were the size of bowls and was slightly relieved.
That was close!
If he had not paid such a heavy price, taken advantage of the hunter's carelessness, and had an invincible peerless divine weapon that could cut iron like mud, it would have been impossible to kill a heavyweight like the hunter.
Whether it was the Ark or the Apocalypse, the Awakened from both sides did not expect that the hunter would be killed by Li Yao. For a moment, they were all stunned, and the scene fell into a strange silence.
