Chapter 1996: Chapter 1996: Super Evolution Power Demonstrated Head-On
After two unsuccessful attempts to yank the weapon, and sensing that Zheng Yuci was seemingly about to turn around, the Nefarious Mask decided to change his approach instantly, abandoning the aerial weapon and using a weapon that maintained distance, forcibly pushing both himself and Zheng Yuci in opposite directions.
The Nefarious Mask had a vast rooftop behind him, but Zheng Yuci, standing at the edge of the top floor, seed about to topple down after being pushed—yet the Nefarious Mask kept a close watch on him. However, Zheng Yuci, who had already turned around, rely stepped back to steady himself, then swung his hand forward, and all the suspended weapons flew forward!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” One sharp weapon after another blasted a big hole in the rooftop, forcing the Nefarious Mask to retreat. After the last prop pierced through the building, he swiftly sidestepped to approach Zheng Yuci from one side.
As an Advanced Player, leaping over the damaged rooftop was effortless, but he deliberately took a wide detour, aiming to divert Zheng Yuci’s attention. As Zheng Yuci turned to the left following his move, the Nefarious Mask suddenly plumted downstairs, while the weapon blocked by his body headed straight for Zheng Yuci!
It was a palm-length spike, pausing only for a mont when approaching Zheng Yuci, then penetrated his first line of defense, piercing straight into his body, and in the next instant, passing through!
The transition between the weapon’s disappearance and reappearance was so seamless, undeniably piercing through Zheng Yuci’s chest and abdon. Anyone witnessing this firsthand wouldn’t doubt their eyes, but seeing Zheng Yuci remain unscathed, without a change in expression or posture, inevitably made one question if it really happened.
The ambush weapon returned to the Nefarious Mask’s hand, and he stood closest to Zheng Yuci, able to see clearly if the latter was hurt—in fact, not only was Zheng Yuci unhard, even his clothes were unscathed. It seed as though the weapon entered an anomalous space near him, perfectly bypassing him.
“I knew it wouldn’t be that easy to kill you.” The Nefarious Mask stashed the spike prop, pulling out a two-finger wide tal strip from his wrist with one hand. As he extended the tal strip, the ground under Zheng Yuci cast a shadow about three ters wide. Once this shadow covered the entire rooftop, the Nefarious Mask slamd down with both hands, causing the section of the building covered by the shadow to collapse neatly underground!
A void appeared at the building’s center, with dozens of floors suddenly compressed together, hitting the ground with a thunderous boom, blanketing several streets in dust.
Shrill alarms and cries arose, and the Nefarious Mask, who had jumped down with the collapsed building, darted back and forth through the dust before being forcefully thrown towards a neighboring building!
The Nefarious Mask crashed through a ground-floor shop, standing briefly across the street, then quickly dashed back into the dust.
Judging by the constantly moving silhouette within, he was relentlessly attacking Zheng Yuci, incessantly deploying props and devices. Accompanying his assaults, pits and cracks periodically marred the streets around him, nearby buildings were pierced or outright severed from different angles, within re seconds, leaving the street in shambles. Suddenly toppled streetlights or electronic displays seed insignificant compared to the buildings that appeared precariously unstable!
This situation continued until Zheng Yuci walked out of the dust.
Indeed, although the Nefarious Mask hadn’t ceased his attacks, almost all his strikes missed, with his abilities failing to activate, while other weapon attacks were mostly diverted via the ntal Portal. anwhile, attempts to engage at close range were thwarted by the Defensive Barrier Item, showcasing a stark contrast:
He had exerted himself nearly to ruins on the street, but Zheng Yuci sauntered out leisurely.
“I’d say, that Resistance Army mber looks like a bee buzzing chaotically around a flower, busy with who knows what.” Jiang Chengfeng remarked, unable to resist comparing himself, “This Zheng Yuci is incredibly formidable, just how does he evade so many props?”
Generally, handheld weapons and assault props require contact with the target to attack, which makes them relatively easier to defend against, as long as there’s a tily reaction or Defensive Barrier, it’s manageable. But several props offer long-range attacks, such as the Sword props’ cutting barriers, waist-slashing lines of a Super Evolver like Agor, or props with special abilities that cause temporary deafness or blindness, bind or restrict, or even so strange effects… Although these can be mitigated by distance and increased barriers, players’ Defensive Barriers cannot be continuously activated, leaving room for errors. There are instances of Low-Level Players using Low Level props to defeat Advanced Players, rare albeit not as unheard of as the scene before us.
“He is a Super Evolutionary with ntal Powers.” Xu Huo explained succinctly.
Zheng Yuci’s control over his Spiritual World is incredibly ticulous, often managing to teleport away the Nefarious Mask’s props without even using a Defensive Prop. Just like that ti on the rooftop, he opened exceptionally small ntal Portals on his chest and back, achieving the illusion of power passing right through him.
Afterward, too, the Nefarious Mask’s attacking props were largely ineffective, with two powerful ones blocked by Defensive Props—these two defenses gave Xu Huo the clarity to roughly discern the appearance of his Defensive Props. While the Nefarious Mask’s long-range slashes passed Zheng Yuci, they were often stopped abruptly as if blocked by sothing, nullifying the props’ effect.
However, based on those two targeted defenses and once when an Electric Whip circled over Zheng Yuci’s head, it’s safe to conclude that Zheng Yuci likely has a spherical defensive layer around him. Judging by its activation timing, it must be a Defense Prop requiring the user’s initiation. Its usage duration is unclear, but its defensive power is top-notch; despite the Nefarious Mask employing multiple Rank-A Props, he failed to so much as graze Zheng Yuci’s garnt.
Xu Huo squinted at the person who had erged onto the street. Upon reaching a certain degree of evolution, the Super Evolution Power grants near-complete dominance over ordinary players; despite the Nefarious Mask’s arsenal, Zheng Yuci, with his ntal Portals and a few effective Defense Props, could still exhaust him to the brink.
