Chapter 661: Instant Kill

Chapter 661: Instant Kill

Operations Command Center.

Zhu Zheng and Tu Yunlie stared intently at the dozens of feeds displayed on the large screen.

Takeuchi Mayumi.

By now, all the battlefields had already entered intense combat.

The Outer City Enhancers had mostly withdrawn, and the Celestial Squad had taken over to directly engage Moon of Corrosion.

Thanks to the groundwork laid earlier, each member of the Celestial Squad was now paired with a suitable opponent, allowing their abilities to shine more effectively.

But over on Zhang Yi’s side, things were looking a bit awkward.

They were the only Outer City team still alive on the battlefield—and not retreating either.

And their opponents? Two members from Moon of Corrosion.

Tu Yunlie’s face showed no expression whatsoever.

Losses among the Outer City Enhancers weren’t going to affect the overall war effort.

Zhu Zheng only gave the scene a quick glance before shifting his attention elsewhere.

In his view, there was no chance Zhang Yi’s group could win.

Even if two of them managed to escape by sheer luck, it wouldn’t make a dent in the overall situation.

But not far from them, Baili Changqing, who was involved in the strategic planning, had his eyes locked on Zhang Yi’s location.

Only he understood: if Zhang Yi went all out, very few people on the battlefield could stop him.

But... when that happened, how was he going to explain to Zhu Zheng and the rest of the Blizzard City higher-ups that he had hidden that kind of information?

Baili Changqing was filled with inner conflict. All he could do now was silently hope things wouldn’t spiral in a direction he dreaded.

On the battlefield, Zhang Yi held back Liang Yue, who was about to step in, and slowly walked forward alone.

This scene made Chen Xiaoxiao and Peng Li widen their eyes—they almost thought Zhang Yi was about to switch sides.

Meanwhile, Takizawa Takashi and Wagatsuma Nanako stared at Zhang Yi with amused expressions—he was prey in their eyes.

Wagatsuma Nanako said, “Is he trying to surrender?”

Takizawa Takashi grinned, “Too bad, we only need his corpse.”

As soon as he said that, Takizawa Takashi raised both hands, summoning a powerful lightning storm that gathered around his body before concentrating at his fingertips.

“Only my railgun!”

With a surge of electromagnetic force, six coins shot through space in an instant, streaking across the air in silver arcs straight toward Zhang Yi!

But the scene Takizawa had imagined—Zhang Yi’s body being sliced through like butter—didn’t happen.

The powerful railgun blasts vanished entirely three meters in front of Zhang Yi, as if they’d been swallowed by thin air.

Takizawa Takashi’s pupils contracted sharply.

“What kind of ability is this? Why did my attack just disappear?”

Even the Moon of Corrosion couple showed shocked expressions.

Wagatsuma Nanako loosened her crossed arms and frowned slightly. “Looks like this guy’s got something up his sleeve.”

Chen Xiaoxiao and Peng Li were stunned too.

“That’s his spatial ability?” Peng Li asked.

Chen Xiaoxiao frowned, “But if it’s only for defense, that’s useless.”

Seeing his attack fail, Takizawa Takashi looked annoyed.

He shoved his hands into his pockets. With a metallic jingle, he pulled them out holding two full fistfuls of coins.

“Let’s see if you can block this!”

He burst into wild laughter and flicked the coins at Zhang Yi with his thumbs!

With the railgun power added, each coin packed more punch than a bullet.

And charged with electromagnetic force, their destructive power was massive—easily able to pierce through armored vehicles.

The coins fired like a machine gun barrage at Zhang Yi.

But Zhang Yi didn’t move a muscle, letting Takizawa’s assault come straight at him.

In midair, arcs of lightning snaked like silver serpents, zipping in from a hundred meters away, disappearing into Zhang Yi’s Dimensional Space without a trace—no splash, no ripple.

When all the coins had been fired, Takizawa stood dumbfounded.

This was his strongest attack, powerful enough to punch through war tanks!

Why was it completely useless against this guy?

Wagatsuma Nanako caught on.

“He absorbed your attacks!”

She pointed to the ground in front of Zhang Yi. “See? The coins are gone. That means they got sucked somewhere else. This guy’s a spatial-type Enhancer!”

But Zhang Yi wasn’t about to wait for them to finish talking.

As soon as Takizawa’s wave of attacks ended, Zhang Yi struck.

In a blink, he took a step forward—and vanished midair.

When he reappeared, he was behind Takizawa Takashi and Wagatsuma Nanako.

He raised his right hand toward them and activated his Dimensional Gate.

A surge of lightning shot out like a hundred silver snakes, blasting straight at their backs!

Wagatsuma Nanako’s ability was Kamaitachi, giving her hypersensitivity to air movement.

Sensing danger instantly, she vanished with a sharp whoosh—barely dodging the strike.

But Takizawa wasn’t so lucky.

The railgun bolts slammed into his back before he could even turn around, tearing through his body like hot blades through butter.

In just 0.01 seconds, he was shredded into a tattered, mangled mess—like a ruined beehive.

Takizawa Takashi, Moon of Corrosion member, killed in one strike by Zhang Yi!

The sight left Chen Xiaoxiao and Peng Li utterly stunned.

The Moon of Corrosion member they were terrified of couldn’t even survive one hit from Zhang Yi?

Was Zhang Yi always this strong?

The two of them stared at him in shock, jaws practically on the floor.

Their minds went blank—frozen, unable to even think.

But Liang Yue and Hua Hua looked completely unfazed.

Wagatsuma Nanako had managed to escape Zhang Yi’s attack.

When she saw her man killed, she screamed out in anguish, “Takashi!”

What was supposed to be a simple hunt ended up costing her husband’s life.

Her heart ached like it was being torn apart.

But she truly lived up to the reputation of a ruthless Moon of Corrosion member.

With a look of hatred, she glared at Zhang Yi.

The next second, she vanished from her spot—her entire figure becoming a blur.

A violent storm whipped up around Zhang Yi.

Her presence was now within that storm.

Strange music started playing from all directions.

Unfortunately for her, Zhang Yi couldn’t hear a thing.

Dimensional Severance was a perfect barrier. At this moment, a layer of interdimensional space stood between him and the real world.

All sound was sealed away, and any attacks hidden within the melody of her shakuhachi were absorbed completely by the dimensional space.

Zhang Yi pulled out two large handguns—silver with violet patterns—and slowly raised them, aiming into the void ahead.

Wagatsuma Nanako moved at incredible speed—far beyond the capability of normal eyes to track.

But Zhang Yi’s body began to subtly shift as well, trembling ever so slightly at an eerie frequency.

20x acceleration!

“Bang! Bang!”

Barely audible gunshots rang out.

The next second, Wagatsuma Nanako’s body was flung from the storm, tossed to the ground like a ragged sack.
