Chapter 306: Chapter 167: Sneak Attack, A Space Blink From Me! (Sorry, it’s late again)_2

The mechanical giant sword emitting a golden blue glow had already been raised, electrical arcs bursting forth,

Bai Ye’s heart turned cold, it was too late to grab a weapon, and he couldn’t dodge.

Clang!

Between the flash of lightning and the spark of flint, Duke Bai Ye’s left hand suddenly transformed into a cold ice crystal, the whole arm incredibly twisted across his body.

Thereafter, his other hand exuded coldness, rapidly lowering the temperature, attempting to block the enemy’s attack.

At the same time, layers of chilling fog swirled around him, expanding like a tangible suit of silver armor for him to don.

Just by blocking this one strike, he could then draw his weapon and counterattack.

This person was too fast, but he didn’t believe the opponent’s lethality was still that astonishing!

Crack!

Like being struck by thunder, Duke Bai Ye’s eyes suddenly filled with a crimson hue, his heart pounding wildly.

The moment of contact shattered the outer layer of ice armor with the mechanical greatsword.

"I can’t block it!"

Duke Bai Ye’s eyes widened in fury, feeling a chill deep inside, only to sense a sharp pain as his ice crystal arm was also cleaved apart.

"The strength isn’t strong after all, only this ion sword’s lethality is too great, I simply cannot withstand it with my flesh and blood alone," Duke Bai Ye’s mind raced with many thoughts.

The opponent’s strength was within his expectations, but leveraging speed and the power of the weapon, his arm was still severed.

But immediately after, the white mechanical long spear in his hand unfolded, with cold air traversing over ten meters, like an enraged ice dragon, plunging towards the enemy who had missed their strike and swiftly withdrew!

"Die!"

As expected of a fully-powered B-level life form.

Li Ming was inwardly moved, even after using "Thunderstorm Fervor" and being enhanced by the "Justice Arm Armor," "Philos Armor," "Super Electromagnetic Sniper Gun," "Magnetic Shoes," among others, reaching a 49-fold enhancement of the Thunder Element.

And even with using "Space Blink" to carry out a sneak attack, this was all he could do.

"Can’t hit him."

Li Ming felt a chill throughout his body, knowing he could engage in a full-on battle, but it may not necessarily end in victory.

But Li Ming’s goal wasn’t to fight to the death, for if it became a drawn-out battle and Sela warships converged on this location, that would be troublesome.

Before the piercing cold could envelop him, he vanished from where he stood.

With his enhanced speed and the ability to come and go freely with "Space Blink," in the blink of an eye, he disappeared once again from Duke Bai Ye’s view.

"Enemy attack!" It wasn’t until this moment that his bodyguard Jingwei reacted, shouting loudly and quickly forming a defensive formation.

Duke Bai Ye’s body had already expanded to three meters, his whole body as if composed of white stones, radiating an ominous cold, obviously prepared to undergo Genetic Release.

This was exactly the conflict between Genetic Release and Combat Armor; often, the two could not be compatible.

Midway through the release, the enemy ran away. Duke Bai Ye was seething with anger. Although the enemy’s direct combat lethality wasn’t enough, with that B-level weapon, they could still inflict a fatal blow to him.

Add to that, the assailant’s speed and ease of movement posed too great a threat.

"But what exactly was that..." Duke Bai Ye deactivated Genetic Release, the image of the enemy appearing abruptly before him was still lingering in his mind. Even with exceptional speed, it shouldn’t be possible to move that fast.

"Space ability..."

This notion surfaced in his mind, followed by a jolt of shock, disbelieving by instinct. Space abilities were extremely rare and terrifying once encountered.

He refused to believe his misfortune of encountering a space ability user here.

"Perhaps it’s some ability with an extraordinarily astonishing leap." He attempted to reassure himself. The other party was clearly a speed-oriented gene evolver; this kind of ability would not be a surprise.

The surrounding Sela people were terrified; they had witnessed his speed as well. Had their target not solely been the Duke, they might not have even realized how they died.

"Must be cautious." Gazing at his severed limb, Duke Bai Ye’s expression was unspeakably dark.

...

On the Scale Snake, Telo hurried over, looking upset: "Boss, a few more of our guys have been offed."

Atom, looking grim, listened as Telo continued to report: "It’s the same kind of injury again, the bodies charred black. It’s probably that guy’s handiwork."

Atom’s snake pupils glinted menacingly, displeased, Telo said, "Why is it always us who encounter this crap, talk about bad luck."

"Yeah, it’s really bad luck." Atom’s eyes were deep, "That guy could have stayed hidden but chooses to keep hunting our people, and there are always a few charred corpses every time."

"Yeah..." Telo echoed and didn’t catch on at first, but then suspicion arose, "What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is, how come not a single Sela person has died!" Atom’s expression turned frosty.

"What!" Telo’s eyes bulged as it finally dawned on him, "You mean that guy is collaborating with the Sela people?"

Atom stared at him coldly: "What I mean is, if most of my subordinates hadn’t been quickly wiped out, I’d rip your stupid head off."

"Cooperate? What reason would he have to cooperate with the Sela people?"

"This damn thing is all done by the Sela people themselves!" Atom roared, this time truly in a streak of bad luck.

He had a total of five C-level life forms under him; Ya Ro, smart enough to betray, Lu Bi and Lu Ka were both killed, now only two left, the losses severe.

That’s why he was reluctant to leave, always wanting to grab some advantage.

"Damn those Sela people!" Telo shuddered, saying, "Shall we go up there and get them?"

"Go to hell!" Atom gritted his teeth, "So that the one lurking in the shadows can take advantage, eh?"
