Li Yu held the Silver Holy Spear up. Old Ghost and Sister Yao hid behind the tal wall, constantly shifting their positions.
"You two react quite fast..." Li Yu remarked with a hint of teasing.
"There is no irreconcilable conflict between us..." Old Ghost's voice drifted near and far, making it difficult to pinpoint his exact location.
Li Yu waved his hand at Violet Sniper. It obediently walked over and handed its eye to the commander.
'Damn it, what kind of cursed tal is this? Infrared rays can't penetrate it.'
"Indeed, there isn't," Li Yu agreed. "In that case, why don't you two co out so we can talk face-to-face?"
"Alright..." Old Ghost agreed without hesitation. "I trust your character, brother. I'm coming out."
Li Yu narrowed his eyes. A figure suddenly dashed out from behind the tal wall and rushed straight at him. Li Yu's heart leaped, and he almost pulled the trigger.
However, he instantly sensed sothing was wrong. Activating Bullet Ti, he forcefully suppressed his instincts.
Sure enough, the dark figure stumbled for a few steps before coming to a halt with a bewildered expression. It was just a naless underling.
Clearly, Old Ghost wanted to use this thod to trick Li Yu into wasting the bullet in his pistol.
"Brother, that wasn't very kind of you..." Li Yu cursed the old fox inwardly. If he hadn't used Bullet Ti to forcefully stop his finger, he probably would have pulled the trigger just now.
Old Ghost's expression was also quite grim. According to the data, Li Yu was at most a D- Rank lifeform, while he was a D Grade lifeform.
If he had launched a sneak attack, the opponent absolutely would not have survived. Yet, in that tense situation just now, Li Yu was actually able to suppress his instinct to fire.
He signaled Sister Yao. The two exchanged a glance and nodded at each other.
"Relax, that was just a little joke..." Old Ghost said in a calm tone. "Now I know that Your Excellency truly has no intention of firing."
"I'm coming out right now..."
The next mont, several figures suddenly charged out from both sides of the main door. Li Yu's gaze hardened. These people carried Electromagnetic Rifles and, without a word, imdiately opened fire.
Li Yu couldn't possibly waste his bullets on these minor thugs. Violet Sniper transford its shape, turning into a shield to block those electromagnetic bullets.
In that split second, a slender figure dashed out. It was actually Sister Yao. Standing behind the group of n, she flashed Li Yu an eerie smile.
"Bye-bye, little brother..."
The very next mont, the tal floor was ripped right up, condensing into sharp iron spears that hurled toward him, aiming to skewer him like a hedgehog.
"A Superpower?" Li Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, sweeping his gaze over the corpses on the ground. No wonder these two didn't show many signs of resistance on the surface.
Sister Yao was actually an Esper, not a Genetic Evolution Body or a chanical Cyborg.
Furthermore, she possessed an impressive tal Manipulation Ability, or was it Magnetic Energy?
Espers were indeed troubleso to deal with. Especially at the lower ranks, they possessed overwhelming combat power.
Unless one reached the higher ranks, where Genetic Evolution Bodies acquired more Gene Chains and their comprehensive abilities grew increasingly stronger, or chanical Cyborgs equipped various shielding modules, closing the gap.
But at the lower ranks, a tal Manipulation Ability or Magnetic Energy was truly the absolute bane of a chanical Cyborg.
"Very nice. What a pity..." Li Yu stared at Sister Yao and opened his mouth. The air vibrated. Everyone seed to hear sothing, yet it also felt like they heard nothing at all.
Only Sister Yao's pupils contracted. She distinctly heard the command, "Stop!"
Li Yu's ntal Power surged out wildly, like a floodgate bursting open. Controlling this kind of Esper seed to consu even more ntal Power.
The next mont, the tal spears surrounding him all ca to a dead halt, less than a ter away from his physical body. There were easily over a hundred tal spears, reflecting a sharp, deadly gleam.
If they had fallen, one could only imagine what kind of disaster it would have been.
Bang!
With a flash of morning light, another shot rang out. The figures blocking Sister Yao served no purpose; they were entirely shot through, including that purple Energy Shield.
"Urgh..." Sister Yao's pupils were filled with terror. By the ti she could move again, she realized her consciousness had already begun to blur.
A trickle of blood oozed from the bloody hole in her forehead, and a crimson hue overtook her vision.
As an Esper, her physical body wasn't incredibly strong. Clearly, she hadn't spent extra ti developing Gene Chains, making her an E-Class Lifeform at best.
If it had been Taotie or Old Ghost in her place, with so many people acting as a buffer to weaken the bullet's kinetic energy, the shot might not have necessarily killed them.
Thud!
Sister Yao's corpse collapsed to the ground, her head pointing directly at Old Ghost. Old Ghost happened to et her lifeless gaze, and his expression instantly darkened.
With corpses littering the floor and blood flowing like a river, the underlings were trembling in fear. Old Ghost wore a gloomy expression as he glanced at the Smart Terminal in his hand, where a line of text surfaced.
"Master... it seems their Smart Terminals have all been upgraded with anti-intrusion modules. I cannot hack them for the ti being," Claptrap responded at this mont.
Another tracking thod had failed. It was likely that the previous incident with Third Fatty had served as a wake-up call for them.
"There's no need for us to continue fighting..." Old Ghost finally spoke up again. Perhaps realizing that his previous lie was too obvious, he hastily added, "I an it this ti."
"Taotie is dead, and Sister Yao is dead. That ans two fewer people to split the pie. Third Fatty and Taotie had a grudge against you, but I don't..."
"I'll give you half of the Gene Chains from Blue Sky Genetics, and we can go our separate ways. How about that?" Old Ghost's words were quite persuasive.
Li Yu pondered for a mont. "What you say makes a lot of sense. But there's a problem: if you don't co out, we can't negotiate."
"Co out. It will show your sincerity, and mine. Otherwise, we can just keep this standoff going."
"Brother, look closely. I'm coming out..." Old Ghost seed genuinely sincere this ti, stepping out from behind the wall with his hands raised.
Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. Target confird. Fire!
He raised the Silver Holy Spear without the slightest hesitation. Anyone who trusted Old Ghost was an absolute idiot.
Bang!!
A blinding brilliance erupted. The intricate patterns on the gun lit up, displaying its familiar, incredibly dazzling visual effects.
Old Ghost's eyes suddenly turned viciously crimson. The very instant the bullet sank into his corporeal form, a pair of blood-red wings abruptly unfurled from his back.
Imdiately after, his entire body burst into a swarm of tiny bats that scattered in all directions, miraculously evading the gunshot.
"Vampires..." Li Yu muttered. No wonder Old Ghost was nicknad a vampire; he literally turned into bats.
"The Phantom Bat doesn't have any Elental Power, but its life-saving abilities are surprisingly good..." The massive swarm of blood-red bats flapped their wings, rapidly converging back into the form of Old Ghost.
"Your gun is useless against . Can we talk now?"
His face was deathly pale, as if it had always been that way. His tone was calm and composed, making it seem as though he could use that ability again without issue.
"Hmm... I'll have to think about it..." Li Yu replied, equally unruffled. He kept the Silver Holy Spear raised, acting as if the gun still had plenty of bullets left.
