"Destroy his body!"
Lady Gray Mist was the first to react. She screamed at Li Yao and Sparda.
Sparda spat and aimed the plasma gun at the two halves of the Hunter's body and fired. The plasma instantly turned the body into charcoal and turned it into black powder in the storm.
But he was still one step too slow.
In other words, the plasma was ineffective against the thing that flowed out of the body. It was something that looked like a mist and a flame. It arched in the air as if it had a life of its own. It reminded Li Yao of a swarm of insects formed by thousands of flying insects. The small swarm of insects let out screeching sounds and fled to the carriage in the distance at an amazing speed before disappearing.
Soon, screams, fighting, and crashing sounds could be heard coming from the carriage. After a while, the door of the carriage was pulled open, and a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a train inspector crawled out like a spider. He stood steadily on the roof of the carriage that was howling in the wind.
He was a very typical Eastern man with yellow skin and black hair.
From the wrinkles on his face and his prematurely white hair, it was obvious that he had dedicated his life diligently to this railway line and had long become an obscure part of the railway and the train. He should not have had anything to do with the world of superpowers.
But at this moment, in his deeply sunken eyes, there was a venomous liquid that resembled mist and flames surging. The corners of his mouth gradually curled up into a gentle and cold smile. That expression was similar to that of the recently deceased "Hunter" Hugo Bravo. Smith retreated.
"Student Li Yao, it seems that I have to raise my evaluation of you again."
This local train attendant, who was born and raised in the East and had probably never left the country in his life, spoke his mother tongue in a very stiff tone. His tone was exactly the same as the Hunter's. "In just a week, you went from an ignorant ordinary person to an Awakened, then from an Initial Awakened to a Deep Awakened, and from a Deep Awakened to the current Finesse. Or perhaps … you have already surpassed the category of a Finesse and become something more powerful and dangerous?
"However, no matter how powerful you have awakened, I still say the same thing. In front of the will of Earth, no, in the universe, your resistance is still stupid and futile. Turn back from the wrong path and return to the right path!"
"You!"
Li Yao swallowed hard and looked at the Lady of Grey Mist seriously, trying to get more information about the hunters from her.
Could it be that this guy couldn't be killed?
Every time he was killed, his … "soul" would transform into a black fog and invade the bodies of others, using their bodies as carriers to be reborn?
This was too exaggerated!
The Lady of Grey Fog's expression turned extremely unpleasant. She shook her head slightly at Li Yao, hinting at Li Yao that she did not know that Hunters had such an ability.
In the database of the Ark Foundation, there were only three pieces of information about Hunters' superpowers. The first was that he could change the frequency of his brainwaves and send them out in the form of special electromagnetic waves with the help of various wireless communication tools. He used this method to activate the memories of ordinary people's past lives and control them, turning them into his puppets. The second was that he had a physique that surpassed the limit and was proficient in various fighting and shooting techniques. His combat strength was definitely top-notch. The third was that he could create an extremely special force field around his body, making the people in the force field feel their heartbeat slow down, suppressing oxygen supply and brain cell activity, creating an illusion similar to "Time Deceleration" and slowing down the enemy's movements.
Just these three abilities alone had made Hunters one of the few powerful enemies in the Apocalypse Organization that gave the Ark Foundation the most headaches. Therefore, it was not surprising that Hunters led a team to carry out the mission of besieging the author of "40,000 Years of Cultivation".
However, even the Lady of Grey Mist did not expect Hunters to have a fourth superpower — "Immortality"!
How could they fight such a battle?
The reincarnated Hunter smiled and whistled silently.
Soon, more and more carriages were pulled open. Many escorts, mechanics, and conductors on the freight train staggered out.
Almost all of them had earphones wrapped around their ears, or they were pressing their phones to their ears with one hand. There was a murky and cruel smile on their faces, and their eyes were indescribably deep and dull. Obviously, they had all become the Hunter's puppets just like "Zhao Kai" a few days ago.
They struggled to climb up to the roof of the train.
The heavy rain made the escalators on the outside of the train quite slippery. Many of them had just awakened the memories of their previous lives, and their bodies and consciousness were not yet fully coordinated. Some of them did not have earphones and had to press their phones to their faces with one hand. It was even more inconvenient for them to climb up. There were constantly people who slipped and fell under the railway bridge that was dozens of meters or even hundreds of meters down. They would either smash into pieces between the rocks or disappear without a trace in the surging torrent. When normal people saw such a scene, their courage would probably explode. However, the Hunter's puppets had long lost the concept of fear and continued to climb up regardless of their own safety. Even if half of them fell into the abyss, the other half would always use various methods to leap toward the carriage Li Yao and the others were in.
Boom! Crack!
Bolts of lightning flashed one after another, illuminating the world until it was stark white. Li Yao felt as if he was surrounded by hundreds of soulless puppets. The situation was extremely dangerous.
"Go!"
The lady in gray fog said in a low voice. "We'll cover you. Take the Phantom Cat and Daniel Zhang and leave!"
Li Yao did not say anything. He sucked in a deep breath and stomped on the ground. Ignoring the wounds on his ribs and shoulders, he charged at the Hunter again.
While he was still in midair, he spread his fingers, and the light sword that had fallen to the side was sucked into his palm again. It shone with an even more furious red light and turned into a nearly perfect arc in the air, practically sealing off all of the Hunter's escape routes.
The Hunter's rebirth ability seemed to be limited. At the very least, his soul had just invaded this body, so it was impossible for him to turn this old and weak body that had not undergone any physical training and fighting skills into a well-tempered steel body in just half a minute. Even if he had top-class fighting instincts, his nerves and muscle reactions could not keep up. When he faced Li Yao's light sword, he was still half a beat too slow.
At that moment, the two puppets under the Hunter's control charged at Li Yao without caring about anything else.
One of the puppets did not calculate the distance and the landing point well. It slid out of the wall of the train next to Li Yao and crashed into a box of signal equipment next to the railway brutally, breaking into pieces on the spot. It was too horrible to look at.
Before the other puppet slid off, it grabbed Li Yao's ankle and tried to drag Li Yao off the train as well.
Li Yao used all his strength to kick the puppet away. He staggered and barely managed to maintain his balance, but the sword glare in his hand was a little scattered, allowing the Hunter to escape danger again and again.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Sparda, who was not far away, roared angrily again. Plasma scattered in all directions like a meteor shower, sending many puppets flying. However, such a fantasy weapon still had to abide by the objective law of limited energy. After continuously firing for three minutes, it was obvious that the plasma that shot out of the barrel had become much dimmer, and the muzzle had turned scorching red. Raindrops hit it, producing ear-piercing sizzling sounds. Clearly, it could not last long.
The Hunter's subordinates were obviously not just puppets that were used as consumables.
A tall Awakened had his raincoat burnt by Sparda's plasma gun, revealing his shiny scales. Under the illumination of the lightning, every scale exuded a mixed luster of bronze and steel.
Swoosh!
While Sparda opened fire to clean up the surrounding puppets, the strange man covered in scales pounced at Sparda. His sharp claws drew three dazzling electric arcs in the air, instantly cutting the plasma gun in Sparda's hand into four pieces. The energy in the plasma gun went out of control and instantly exploded into a dazzling ball of lightning, enveloping Sparda and the strange man that looked like a humanoid lizard.
Although one Awakened on each side was injured, Li Yao knew that his side did not have the advantage in terms of numbers. Sparda was their most important long-range heavy firepower specialist, specifically responsible for cleaning up the numerous puppets. Without his firepower support, the situation would only become worse.
Li Yao was about to rush to the rescue, but his right hand holding the lightsaber was firmly grasped by the Hunter.
After all, he was seriously injured. Blood was flowing from his shoulder and ribs, and his stamina was almost exhausted. Naturally, his reaction was half a beat slower.
The hunter, on the other hand, quickly adapted to and modified his weak body during the few minutes of battle. At such a close distance, Li Yao could even hear the sound of his surging blood and the spluttering noises of the growth of his muscles and periosteum.
In the pale white lightning, Li Yao saw the Hunter smiling at him ferociously.
Li Yao did not even blink. He loosened his right hand, and the lightsaber flew out of his hand. Relying on the power of telekinesis, it flew to his left hand.
But at this moment, a shrill starlight appeared in the void, followed by a piercing sound of wind breaking. The lightsaber was still in midair when it was smashed into pieces.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the starlight. He saw a Awakened from the Apocalypse Organization kneeling on one knee, holding a strange-looking, shiny hunting bow in his hand.
It seemed that the Hunter had deliberately used himself as bait to lure Li Yao to use the power of telekinesis again so that he could destroy the lightsaber when he attacked.
Li Yao's frosty face did not show the slightest surprise.
Facing an opponent like the Hunter, the same move could not work twice. How could he not understand such a simple principle?
The Hunter used himself as bait to destroy Li Yao's lightsaber. Didn't Li Yao use the lightsaber as bait to lure the Hunter into opening up and end the battle cleanly?
When both parties' attention was focused on the lightsaber in midair, Li Yao's empty left hand had already pressed against the Hunter's abdomen without anyone noticing.
