Chapter 281 – Night Emissary
Yang Tian’s Captain-Class Flame Ability was not something a Mid-Grade Beast Metahuman could handle.
“Stop!”
Another Early Rank 4 metahuman arrived, but he was not one of the three Yang Tian saw earlier. It looks like there were more than three Early Rank 4 metahumans in C City.
The new arrival was also a Beast-Type metahuman. From the form the soldier transformed into, he was a Leopard-Type and was also a Mid-Grade Beast evolving towards a higher species. However, his evolution progress was much higher than Lei Hu; that was why Yang Tian was unable to confirm the species of the leopard.
However, this person was undoubtedly stronger than Lei Hu.
A leopard paw with sharp claws slapped at Yang Tian’s head. The powerful force behind the strike was causing the air surrounding it to emit sounds.
Pew
A bullet made from lightning was shot towards the Leopard Metahuman, the powerful piercing ability of the bullet caused the Leopard Metahuman’s face to turn solemn.
Forcing him to retract the paw that was aimed at Yang Tian so that he could block the Lightning Bullet. However, no matter how fast he reacted, he could never catch up to the speed of lightning.
Poof
The Lightning Bullet pierced through the Leopard Metahuman’s right calf, blood splattered, and formed a semicircle area. On top of the injury on his calf, the paralyzing effect of the bullet spread through his entire leg and numbing his movements.
The person who shot the Leopard Metahuman was Lei Xing, he was using the Peak Rank 3 Magic Energy Equipment, Thunder Rifle.
There was an intrinsic difference between the Thunder Rifle and Thunder Assembler Rifle, the latter sends an omnidirectional attack while the Thunder Rifle was a focused point attack. In terms of destructiveness, the Thunder Rifle was way higher than the Thunder Assembler Rifle. Moreover, Lei Xing also used a Rank 3 Armor-Piercing Bullet.
On top of the inherent paralyzing and piercing ability of the Thunder Rifle, the Rank 3 Armor-Piercing Bullet provides an additional 35% armor piercing effect. Even a Mid Rank 4 metahuman would suffer if they were to take the attack head-on. Let alone that the target was an Early Rank 4 that suffered a sneak attack.
“Oh?”
Yang Tian was slightly shocked, he has yet to see Lei Xing’s fighting power ever since he returned to Sky Halberd Domain. Yang Tian only had the feeling that Lei Xing would not disappoint his expectations, but today’s performance gave Yang Tian a small pleasant surprise instead.
Yang Tian looked at the half-dead Lei Hu and with a punch, sent him flying away. Yang Tian still did not want to have a falling out with C City yet. One arm was enough of a lesson.
Two experts of C City has been gravely injured, this naturally attracted the attention of many people. Especially the people that were touring the factory district, they have all gathered.
Ji Hou Tao and the military also soon arrived. They did not expect that something could happen at this point in time. Moreover, it was their side that suffered losses.
Xiong Gang saw that it was Yang Tian who caused the commotion and could not help but ask:
“Brother, you are so powerful, why are you willing to work under them?”
Xiong Gang’s words allowed Yang Tian to understand something. They were all forced to sign a contract with the military because they lacked strength.
Moreover, Yang Tian signed the agreement because of benefits, there was an innate difference between him and the rest.
Xiong Gang quickly added:
“Brother, you beat them up so badly, things will be hard to handle.”
After Xiong Gang finished speaking, Ji Hou Tao had arrived opposite of Yang Tian, the former had ordered his subordinates to bring the two injured soldiers away.
“Commander Yang, why did you dealt such heavy injuries to your fellow comrades?”
Ji Hou Tao used his words with great subtlety, telling Yang Tian that he was also his subordinate.
“Why? I thought you already know?”
Lei Hu was always following Ji Hou Tao before he suddenly appeared. Did Ji Hou Tao not give some sort of instruction in between? Yang Tian had seen through this fact, that was why he did not deal with the killing blow; Yang Tian felt that he has given Ji Hou Tao enough face. However, from Ji Hou Tao’s perspective, Yang Tian’s actions were literally a slap to his face.
Yang Tian did not deactivate Flame Energy Body, but he made sure to control the temperature to be around 300℃, else there would not have been so many people able to stand around Yang Tian.
However, Ji Hou Tao’s words have enraged Yang Tian, causing Flaming Heart Earthfire’s temperature to soar and reach 1000℃, the powerful heat nearly injured Ji Hou Tao.
“Section Chief, be careful!”
The two Early Rank 4 behind Ji Hou Tao immediately shield him behind them, using their bodies to block the high temperatures. As for the rest, they quickly stepped back when they felt the surge in heat.
1000℃ was enough to cause these Early Rank 4 to feel terrible, let alone when most of the people gathered were only Rank 3.
One of the two Early Rank 4 quickly escorted Ji Hou Tao to a safe area while the remaining one coldly looked at Yang Tian.
Ji Tian Luo also went to Ji Hou Tao’s side when she saw her grandfather was nearly injured.
“This is really embarrassing, I nearly lost control.”
Yang Tian deactivated Flame Energy Body, but there was no trace of regrets on his face, even the tone he used was weird. This caused the soldier in front of Yang Tian to feel angry.
The soldier was afraid of the terrifying heat emitting by Yang Tian’s Flame Energy Body earlier, but when he saw that Yang Tian has deactivated Flame Energy Body, the soldier quickly launched his attack.
Assassin-type?
Early Rank 4 Night Emissary
The moment the soldier attacked, it looked as though he disappeared on the spot. This strange ability was what made the soldier obtained a strong advantage over his peers of the same rank. Within C City, few could make him feel like they were his equal, even Jiang Lie did not want to face this person if he could.
However, the soldier encountered Yang Tian. The latter used Mental Examine that could discover things that physical vision may fail to notice, making the soldier’s movement appear with nowhere to hide.
Golden Silkworm Gloves was equipped, being a Rank 4 Martialist has allowed Yang Tian to display the full might of Dragon-Claw Hand. Even though he only knew seven forms, Dragon-Claw Hand is a Rank 7 Martial Arts. It cannot be underestimated.
Shadow Grasp
Yang Tian’s attack became extremely fast, causing the Night Emissary in hiding to feel as though a powerful force had pulled him out.
Puchi
Yang Tian captured the Night Emissary in one move and added another strike to injure the latter.
“Bastard!” the Night Emissary cursed.
He did not know how he got discovered, but he was much stronger than Lei Hu. After suffering a few more attacks, the Night Emissary disappeared from everyone’s sight again.
