Chapter 789: Stop Playing Around

Chapter 789: Stop Playing Around

Wang Zikai landed. His right foot hurt so much that he almost jumped, but he endured it and swallowed his cry with such exertion that his face turned purple. Inwardly, he was whining, Shit, shit, shit, shit, it hurts like hell!!

Stubborn Weasel had used level 3 Hedgehog, increasing her physical defense to a great height and reflected 25% of all physical attacks. In other words, Wang Zikai’s foot hurt because of his own kick.

Bang, bang, bang! In the moment of distraction when Wang Zikai put on a brave face to maintain the dignity of the world’s savior, a few blue energy bullets hit him in the chest.

The bullets threw him off his feet, but didn’t do much damage. An attack at this level was like a tickle to him.

The energy explosion that threw him off tore his shirt, too, revealing the lithe muscles and smooth lines of his torso. He flipped and stomped on the ground as soon as he landed, his reflex impressive.

Thud.

Half a second later, he was already before the robot Small Luo was piloting.

Wang Zikai had forgotten everything Nine Frost taught him. And he went back to the most basic tactic: going from attacking whoever was closest to attacking whoever had attacked him.

Bam!

Wang Zikai’s punch hit the blue energy robot. It shattered into countless energy shards like eggshells. And despite the robot around her shielding Small Luo, her internal organs still shattered under the force of the punch.

She didn’t even have time to react before she flew ten or more meters away, rolling to a stop and bleeding from all orifices to her death.

She was lucky. She died, but dodged the scythe of the blond grim reaper with her body still wholly intact. She would come back alive with the resurrection pill she had taken.

The others weren’t standing around, of course.

Jing Ke and Canary prepared for a combo.

Jing Ke was a tall, thin middle-aged man wearing a loose gray linen shirt with the chest on full display. With his messy long black hair, he looked like a wandering swordsman.

From his relaxed hands, two long, fierce white bone blades protruded from his palms like two katanas. His Talent was Bone Growth, serial number 91, Buff-type. It hardened one’s bones to an incredible degree and allowed one to grow and transform their bones at will.

Jing Ke was a formidable melee fighter, underestimated due to his Talent being lower on the list.

Crack.

Half a second later, the bone blade Wang Zikai wielded shattered into pieces like plaster.

Wang Zikai started again. Aren’t your bones supposed to be hard? Why is this one so fragile?

Actually, Jing Ke’s bones were only resilient when they were attached to him. They became as fragile as the bones of someone with osteoporosis once they left his body.

Wang Zikai didn’t know all that, of course, and he didn’t have the time or intelligence to figure it out. Jing Ke was already making a flurry of slashes at Wang Zikai again.

He could conjure bone blades from not only his hands and feet, but every part of his body. It was difficult to dodge all his hits.

Relying on his extraordinary reflex, Wang Zikai dodged and backed away, all the while keeping an eye out for Amon’s boomerang and Lin Fu’s strange talismans.

No, you can’t use your bone claws! That’s cheating!

Calm down, Wang Zikai. You can do this. Use the chance to practice the techniques Nine Frost taught you...

Wang Zikai tamped down the urge to fight back with his bone claws as he continued to fight Jing Ke, attempting to come up with a strategy.

However, he wasn’t given the chance. He suddenly felt a slight numbness in his limbs.

Not far from them, Colorless had secretly used Petrify on Wang Zikai.

Rewind hid behind Colorless and mumbled nonstop, “Petrify will work, immediately. Go, go, Sister Colorless. Go, go...”

With Wang Zikai, Jing Ke, and Canary’s intense fight moving the three of them constantly, Colorless had to not only track Wang Zikai’s movement but also avoid friendly fire. That compromised the effect of Petrify, and her power could only encroach on Wang Zikai gradually.

Soon, however, Colorless realized that it would be better to cook Wang Zikai in slowly heating water like a frog. Then when Wang Zikai realized that something was wrong, he would’ve already slowed down noticeably, giving Jing Ke and Canary a chance to kill him.

Wang Zikai didn’t like to think before acting, but he did have the ability to think.

He quickly realized that he had been ambushed by Colorless’ Petrify. He cursed inwardly, This is fucking cheating! Forget it. I have to stop playing around!
