Chapter 866: The Virus Trap
Chapter 866: The Virus Trap
It was clear that the opponent’s physical prowess far exceeded Qi Tianyi’s expectations. At this moment, he was starting to sense that things might not be as he had assumed… The opponent wasn’t even trying to hide his intentions! His goal was straightforward-kill him! If it was just a test, there was no need to fight with such increasing desperation!
Qi Tianyi’s natural superpower was already exceptional, and with the special method to stimulate his potential, he could maintain extreme bursts of power for an extended period. Whether in speed or strength, he was far beyond ordinary humans. Combined with his masterful combat skills, even if his opponent matched his bursts of power, they were no match for his expertise.
Yet, in this obscure captain, he saw a trait that made his head ache-recklessness! This man didn’t care whether he got hurt. Every move was singularly focused on one goal: landing an attack on Qi Tianyi!
Even Qi Tianyi hesitated to take this man’s punches head-on, especially with a weapon in his opponent’s hand…
“Hey, hey, this is seriously frustrating! I’ve trained so hard, and this guy just shows up with this level of strength? But his flaws are too obvious. Sure, a death-defying fighting style is brutal, but it’ll unknowingly bring him to his death sooner or later…”
Wait a minute… his motives? Even if he were a double agent acting on orders from the Second Camp, the sloppiness of this assassination plan was questionable. And beyond that, the Second Camp’s motives didn’t add up. At such a critical moment, they wouldn’t want an advanced member to die on their own turf, would they? Could this… be retaliation?
“That’s it. This is retaliation for Ling Mo! But the information shouldn’t have leaked. Based on what they know, Ling Mo and his team supposedly left of their own accord, right? So why aren’t they sneaking out to hunt Ling Mo down? Why would they waste energy turning around to assassinate me?”
The more Qi Tianyi thought about it, the more suspicious it all seemed, but his opponent clearly wasn’t about to give him time to figure things out. In an instant, the man’s speed surged further, and his attack frequency increased dramatically.
“Who are you?!” Qi Tianyi retreated several steps, demanding sharply.
“Can’t you tell by looking at my face…” A chilling voice emerged from the dust, along with a terrifying figure gradually appearing.
“You…” Qi Tianyi was startled. During the previous battle, the opponent not only showed no signs of struggle but had also undergone an unnoticed transformation… A more robust build, a grim face, and slightly red eyes… Just from those eyes, his state seemed somewhat similar to Qi Tianyi’s. However, the difference was that his gaze held only indifference, whereas Qi Tianyi’s was clearly more humanized…
“Something… has changed…” Qi Tianyi clenched his fist silently, feeling a sense of unease from his opponent. If they were evenly matched before, now his opponent’s momentum was steadily rising.
“No matter what, today you must die here…” The opponent stated coldly, and Qi Tianyi could hear the thinly veiled killing intent in his tone.
Boom!
Before the words even faded, a sonic boom suddenly exploded nearby. Qi Tianyi instinctively dodged backwards, his pupils shrinking.
“So fast!”
The sound came before the attack, which unerringly targeted his vital areas.
Even though he barely dodged, a new cut appeared on his face… As the blood trickled down his cheek, Qi Tianyi’s expression turned serious: “I understand, you really mean to fight me to the death, don’t you? Though I still can’t figure out why you’re doing this…”
Boom boom boom!
Clearly, the opponent wasn’t going to waste time talking. After a barrage of furious assaults, Qi Tianyi began feeling slightly overwhelmed. With no edge in speed or strength, Qi Tianyi could only rely on his experience to counter. But to his frustration, aside from slight protection over his head and heart, the opponent left the rest of his body open to strikes! And each time he took a hit, his body seemed to change just a little… ɽαꞐо𐌱ЕṤ
“What is this! Are you some kind of indestructible cockroach?” Qi Tianyi retreated rapidly, putting distance between them, then widened his eyes suddenly. His body began to swell rapidly, and his uniform quickly became tight. Just moments ago, he looked like a regular person, but now he was rapidly resembling a certain giant with pale skin. Not only that, his eyes were growing increasingly red, and he seemed much more ferocious.
“Want to exchange injury for injury? Bring it on!” Qi Tianyi said boldly.
However, he didn’t notice the fleeting smile in Ling Mo’s eyes as he shouted those words.
He fell for it… If Qi Tianyi solely focused on defense, Ling Mo wouldn’t have had much confidence in defeating him quickly. The advantage given by the Zombies wasn’t just in physical ability and continuous evolution, but also the virus!
The most indefensible and lethal virus to humans! During their previous encounters, Qi Tianyi had sustained more than twenty wounds, and by now his palm was silently covered in his own blood…
From the moment the fight began, Ling Mo had it all figured out. In terms of combat power, Qi Tianyi obviously had a lot of tactics he hadn’t yet used, but this wasn’t the time to give him the chance to showcase them one by one. Thus, the best strategy was to unleash the maximum combat power in a short time to pressure the opponent! This was difficult for ordinary humans, but for Ling Mo, who controlled the Zombie Puppets, it was extremely easy.
How long the Zombie Puppets could hold on or whether they’d suffer hidden injuries wasn’t the focus. From the moment Qi Tianyi was genuinely provoked, he had already stepped into the trap Ling Mo set for him…
In the hallway, a figure was still sprinting.
After her initial rage, the secretary had no choice but to search along the corridor. Just as she finished searching one floor, a muffled sound came from above her head.
“It’s the captain!” The secretary immediately looked up at the Ceiling.
Her speed suddenly increased, and she rushed into the door of the hallway ahead.
By this time, Qi Tianyi was leaning against the wall, clutching his Arm.
He had a new cut on his Arm that wasn’t too deep, but it was smeared with blood.
“You… what have you done?” Qi Tianyi glared into the empty space ahead, his expression dark, and asked, “From the moment you grabbed me, the more I used my superpower, the more I could feel something creeping through my wounds… Is this your doing? What exactly are you trying to accomplish?”
Meanwhile, Qi Tianyi was angrily screaming in his mind: “I’ve been had! How could I fall for this! This guy plays dirty! But it’s probably just some kind of poison. As long as I have time…”
“Since earlier, you’ve been deliberately making a scene to attract your subordinates’ attention, hoping they might come to rescue you, right? But you’re also afraid of drawing the Second Camp’s people, so you’ve kept the noise to a minimum…”
That rigid voice came again, but due to his high-speed movement, both his figure and words were somewhat blurred. Yet, hearing this, Qi Tianyi was taken aback.
How can he notice something like that amidst such an attack? What kind of focus does this guy have? Sure, I’ve been cut, but he’s literally covered in blood! He must have several life-threatening injuries! If not for his formidable healing ability…
Wait a second… healing ability…
Qi Tianyi suddenly recalled something, and as he looked at his own arm again, his face turned extremely grim.
At that moment, the opponent finally spoke again, “Didn’t you want to know my reason for attacking you earlier?”
“You… you weren’t sent by the Second Camp…” Qi Tianyi muttered, his face pale.
“I sent myself,” Ling Mo managed to squeeze out a grin despite the strain, then suddenly propelled himself off the ground, rocketing towards Qi Tianyi like a cannonball, “Die!”
