One superhuman chased after a supercat. Both traveled at warp speed. Zhao Yao's blinding golden rays had attracted the attention of the residents.
The Sphynx cat detoured when it noticed that its path had been blocked by the sword auras. Finally, it stopped at the entrance to the alley and carefully placed Fit Bro there.
Zhao Yao muttered, "Has it finally decided to stop running?" Even though Zhao Yao was not entirely sure of its intention, he simply reacted with a flick of his fingers. Instantly, dozens of sword auras sliced through the air and went straight for it.
An extraordinary scene ensued. Against the storm of sword auras, the Sphynx cat managed to dodge them by executing a series of dance-like moves. Each move was so fast yet so strong, crushing the concrete floor beneath it, leaving behind only its shadows. Not only did it manage to evade the attacks, it even managed to inch towards Zhao Yao.
However, there seemed to be an infinite number of sword auras appearing out of thin air. The Sphynx cat was getting suppressed by the onslaught as there was less and less space for it to maneuver around. More and more cuts and slashes appeared across its body. However, it remained unfazed.
At this moment, following the commotion caused by their battle, Zhao Yao heard a distinct sound approaching them – the police siren.
"So fast?" Zhao Yao's forehead furrowed slightly and could not believe his ears. Even though he knew that the police were bound to appear after the racket that they had created, he had never expected them to be so efficient.
He glanced at the countdown timer and realized that he was left with three minutes. This Sphynx's cat's body was too strong and too tough. An ordinary human would have already died umpteen times when ravaged by this attack. Yet, the cat still managed to bounce around as if it were perfectly healthy.
"Thankfully I didn't squander away my diamonds on the '2X Exp Card'. After using one, I still had four remaining with me. This means that I could possibly use the 'Power Up Card' for the next 40 minutes. However, that's not feasible …"
The Sphynx Cat's eyes gleamed when it noticed the police siren. Instantly, it slammed all four paws against the ground as an enormous force erupted from the ground. It was as strong as an earthquake. The impact threw Fit Bro off his foot as he crashed into the floor.
The Sphynx Cat's body bolted forward after producing the massive force. It had almost gone past the layers of sword auras but was ultimately stopped by one of it.
"I cannot drag this any longer." Zhao Yao let out a sigh as the sword auras which flooded the sky vanished into thin air. He had chosen a risky move by channeling Matcha's power as the entire world went to a standstill.
"30 Seconds!" After channeling Matcha's power, Zhao Yao realized that he could stop time for up to 30 seconds after activating the 'Power Up Card".
He immediately dashed forward and sent a barrage of punches into its body at twice his normal speed. This was followed up with a torrent of kicks all over his body. However, he had not brought any weapons along, but he managed to land a blast of attacks on the Sphynx Cat for a total of 20 seconds which included poking its eye and kicking its groin.
Even Matcha came forward to lend a helping hand as he started biting the cat's butt.
For the remaining 5 seconds, Zhao Yao decided to use this chance to escape. With Roly Poly and Matcha in his arms, he managed to run a few hundred meters before time resumed.
Bam! An infinite number of explosions erupted on its body. However, it only managed to leave a frown on Sphynx Cat's face and failed to deal any significant damage.
"D*mn it!" Zhao Yao tried to process the situation during the time freeze and managed to gain a deeper understanding of how sick the Sphynx Cat truly was. It had a layer of invisible membrane on its eye, shielding it from any attacks. Also, it even managed to retract its genital into its body.
Furthermore, its entire body was coated with a layer of muscles that were as tough as steel and could withstand the impact of a building collapsing onto it. Naturally, Zhao Yao's punches and kicks were rendered futile.
Hence, when Zhao Yao tried to channel Ares's power when time resumed, the Sphynx Cat had already bolted forward and sent its razor sharp claws into Zhao Yao's face, narrowly missing by a few centimeters. It was once again deflected by the sword auras of the deflective field.
Zhao Yao thought, "How is this even a cat? Is this a product of pure training? It is a mutant!"
Dozens of sword auras failed to land a single strike against the Sphynx Cat. Zhao Yao could hear the police siren catching up to them. Hence, he gritted his teeth and swap to Elizabeth's power.
The illusion started the moment the golden beams of light vaporized.
With the effects of 'Power Up Card' in play, the effects of the illusion had been stretched to a radius of 500 meters. It had instantly robbed the Sphynx Cat of its five senses.
However, the result was entirely different from before. Instead of crashing into the floor, the Sphynx Cat remained standing on the floor, completely intact. It only stopped moving.
"It can still stand? Is this the body's instincts supporting it? Its body is really too strong."
Zhao Yao understood that the illusion only robbed the brain's ability to perceive the surroundings and receive feedback from the body. However, it did not actually sever the connection between the brain and the body.
If the body was truly strong enough, it could still maintain some basic movements. It was like how the heart continued to beat even when the individual was robbed of his five senses.
However, what kind of body did it take for one to achieve this? This meant that the individual could continue fighting even if he was semi-unconscious.
While Zhao Yao was still deep in his thoughts, the Sphynx Cat's ear started shuddering as its ears closed together like how an elephant cover its ear canal using its ear.
A flash of concentration flashed across Zhao Yao's eyes as he reacted to the situation, " D*mn it! This guy can detect infrasound! This means that … its body had already transformed until it was capable of utilizing the sixth sense."
Elizabeth's illusion was not invincible. It worked by utilizing the propagation of sound waves that human ears' failed to pick up. However, you could resist the illusion once you could block these sound waves.
It was also possible if the individual had surpassed the state of five senses and had a good grasp of its sixth sense. In this case, the individual would also be unaffected by Elizabeth's illusion.
The Sphynx Cat had already bolted towards Zhao Yao the moment its ears started twitching as its razor-sharp claws were an inch away from Zhao Yao's neck. However, it finally stopped.
A red glimmer flashed across Zhao Yao's eyes as he felt his heart skipped a beat, "Thank goodness it is still affected by Elizabeth's control."
"Finally … I have finally managed to subdue this guy."
Just when Zhao Yao was about to heave a sigh of relief, a black figure emerged and a human shadow materialized next to him.
"There's one more person? That's why it managed to remain so calm throughout the entire battle! There's one more apostle that has been ambushing me!" A vicious aura had locked its sight onto Zhao Yao's body. Not only did it have the power of instantaneous teleportation which allowed it to teleport behind Zhao Yao. The punch that he threw at Zhao Yao was almost as strong as the Sphynx Cat's.
The black shadow's punch inched towards Zhao Yao and punctured the air particles in its surrounding. The roars of wind produced by the sheer force of the punch managed to rip Zhao Yao's shirt into pieces.
Zhao Yao knew that he would instantly die if the punch managed to hit him.
"An apostle can only borrow one superpower at any one time. How can this apostle teleport behind me and produce a punch that could instantly kill any humans?"
At that moment, Zhao Yao's head began processing all these information at warp speed, "Yes … It is because of Sphynx Cat's superpower of training. Even without that power, the apostle still retained his body which had benefitted from Sphynx Cat's power.
Without the superpower of training, the apostle would no longer grow any stronger … hence … its apostle could use this superpower during their regular training and equip themselves with another superpower during an actual fight!"
Within that one second, an infinite amount of information whizzed across Zhao Yao's head.
