In the rain, Wu Jingjiu sensed that his side's strength was far inferior to the opponent's, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. He had now confirmed that the hidden enemy must be Mu Ying. The information showed that Mu Ying's ability was to control ice. With Zhang Zi not in the south, anyone who could use ice to attack must be Mu Ying.
Therefore, Wu Jingjiu immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Mu Ying, we have no past grievances and no recent enmity. Why must you press us so hard? If I have offended you in any way, please speak up. I can apologize and compensate you. What do you want? Do you want beautiful houses, or countless servants? Even if you want food and guns, we can discuss it. Please do not harm our harmony!"
Wu Jingjiu was not confident that he could defeat Mu Ying. Not to mention that his ability was inferior to Mu Ying's, even if their abilities were similar, Mu Ying was already a fourth-tier ability user, while he was only a third-tier. If they really fought, he would easily lose.
So, at this moment, Wu Jingjiu intended to make peace. He felt that there was no enmity between him and Mu Ying, and the current tense situation was not worth it. It would be better to give some supplies to ensure mutual peace.
At this time, Mu Ying slowly walked over from a distance, speaking in a hoarse voice as she walked, "What I want, you probably cannot afford to give."
When Wu Jingjiu saw Mu Ying appear, her face was covered in scars, just like in the information. After being tormented by someone named Li for a period of time, her body was covered in wounds. Now that Mu Ying had appeared, it meant that the enemy's location had been found.
Wu Jingjiu nodded lightly at Lu Song beside him, and Lu Song immediately aimed at the figure slowly approaching in the distance.
At this moment, Wu Jingjiu slowly said, "In this world, everything has a price. Even so-called priceless treasures are clearly priced in the black market. So, just tell me what you want, and I will definitely give it to you. Let's not be so tense."
Mu Ying walked and sneered, "I want your lives. Can you afford to give them?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Jingjiu was furious and cursed, "You slut, it seems we can't talk. Don't underestimate me. I'm an ability user after all!"
Then, Lu Song suddenly fired, and a burst of bullets flew directly towards Mu Ying.
"Clang clang clang," the bullets were fired, flew through the air for a moment, and then hit the thick, solid ice in front of Mu Ying. All the bullets were blocked by the ice, and Mu Ying was not harmed.
Mu Ying shouted, "Charge!"
After speaking, Mu Ying was the first to charge out. A piece of solid ice in front of her blocked the bullets. As she advanced, rows of sharp ice spikes appeared on the ground. The crowd inside the convoy was immediately pierced in the feet by the ice spikes, and they began to wail in pain.
At the rear of the convoy, four dark figures appeared, carrying knives, and rushed into the crowd. Then came a frenzied slaughter. With each swing of the knife, people fell. All four were masked, and their true appearances could not be seen at all. Except for one person who was slacking off, the other three were extremely powerful. Every step they took could take several lives.
Wu Jingjiu then realized that at some unknown time, someone had appeared behind them. Mu Ying was actually attacking from both front and back. His side's attention had been fully drawn to Mu Ying, and there were hardly any people defending the rear. At this point, the formation had been broken.
Wu Jingjiu was covered head to toe in bone armor, and his defense was quite considerable. Even the long ice spikes growing from the ground did not harm him. He immediately created a bone longsword in his hand and charged towards the three enemies behind him, intending to kill the enemies within the formation first, and then deal with Mu Ying outside the convoy.
Wu Jingjiu found the masked Ke Yiming and began to attack. Although the longsword in his hand was made of bone, its sharpness was extraordinary. It could instantly pierce even cars. When he aimed at Ke Yiming, Ke Yiming was immediately entangled.
Ke Yiming wanted to question, why are you looking for me?
In Ke Yiming's hand, there was only a short dagger. Compared to Wu Jingjiu, who held a longsword, his weapon was at a disadvantage.
As the saying goes, "An inch longer is an inch stronger," which refers to the impact of weapon length on combat. The longer the weapon, the greater the advantage in combat, as the attack range determines everything.
Ke Yiming wielded his dagger to block the longsword. Fortunately, he had undergone a long period of training and had some achievements in physical techniques. While blocking the longsword, he could also find time to counterattack. Unfortunately, Wu Jingjiu's armor was extremely hard, so when the dagger stabbed the armor, it only left a shallow scratch and did not cause significant damage.
Seeing that his opponent could only wield a short dagger, Wu Jingjiu was immediately relieved. It seemed that these people who rushed into the formation were evolved humans, and he was an ability user, so he could quickly deal with these enemies!
With this thought, Wu Jingjiu became even more aggressive. Since you cannot use abilities, let's see what I can do.
Wu Jingjiu's other hand also produced a bone longsword. Then, wielding both swords, he began to attack Ke Yiming. Ke Yiming's situation immediately became perilous. Although he could fight back and forth with one longsword, now that the opponent had two longswords, the situation immediately became unfavorable. He could only dodge and could not counterattack at all.
At this moment, Ke Yiming regretted not bringing a gun, otherwise, he could have shown this guy what marksmanship was.
Wu Jingjiu's entire body was covered in armor, and even his face was covered by a bone mask. The whole person looked like a demon emerging from hell, with bones all over his body.
Ke Yiming was gradually forced into a corner. He could not use his abilities, so he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, chaos erupted within the convoy. Mu Ying instantly charged in and found Lu Song, starting to attack. Lu Song quickly fired his gun, trying to stop Mu Ying from getting closer.
But Mu Ying's reaction was very fast. She dodged to the side and simultaneously used her ability. A long ice spike instantly shot out from the ice surface. Lu Song, unable to dodge in time, was immediately hit by the ice spike.
The ice spike shot out from the ice surface and directly pierced Lu Song's crotch. Lu Song let out a painful howl to the sky, but after a moment, the ice spike shot out from his mouth. His body was covered in blood. The ice spike had penetrated Lu Song's entire body in an instant, but he did not die immediately.
In the past, bandits used a form of punishment called "looking at the sky" to deal with traitors. The method was simple: sharpen wooden stakes and nail them into the ground, then place the traitor on the stakes. Due to gravity, the person would fall, but would not die immediately. Eventually, the stakes would continuously poke upwards inside the body, and the person, unable to bear it, could only groan in pain. In the end, the wooden stake would protrude from the mouth, and the person would be almost dead.
Mu Ying gave Lu Song a "looking at the sky" move, and then went to support the others. There were still more than twenty people alive in the convoy. Shen Feng could not use his abilities, so his killing speed was too slow.
At the same time, Ke Yiming had been forced into a dead end and had sustained two cuts on his body. He could no longer hold back. He deliberately deepened his voice and shouted at Shen Feng, "Brother Feng, these guys are tough. Let's go together!"
Shen Feng deliberately wanted to watch the show, so he replied, "I don't understand."
In fact, Shen Feng had read many novels and knew these two simple slang phrases. It just meant that the enemy was powerful and he was asking for support. However, he just wanted to see what a pathetic state Ke Yiming would be in, so he deliberately said he didn't understand.
Ke Yiming could no longer care about anything else. He was already at the end of his rope. Wu Jingjiu's two longswords were constantly being brandished near his neck and chest. If he was not careful and got hit, he would be finished. At this point, he had to reveal his abilities.
"You brought this upon yourself!" Ke Yiming blocked the two longswords with the dagger in his hand, then swung his left hand forward, and a burst of flames appeared out of nowhere, enveloping Wu Jingjiu, who was covered in armor.
Seeing this situation, Wu Jingjiu was shocked and couldn't help but say, "Who are you? How can you use abilities?"
Ke Yiming did not answer, but continued to control the flames to burn Wu Jingjiu. Even if his weapons could not easily penetrate the armor, you couldn't escape the high temperature brought by the flames, right?
"You bullied me earlier by relying on your turtle shell. Now, I want to see if this armor can withstand the flames!" Ke Yiming thought to himself.
Wu Jingjiu wanted to escape, but it was too late. No matter where he ran, the scorching flames around him would not disappear. They followed him like a shadow. Finally, Wu Jingjiu died of suffocation. Before he died, he did not open his armor. Perhaps the armor could temporarily block the flames, but the consumed air could not be replenished.
If it weren't for Wu Jingjiu's armor, at the moment he was enveloped by the flames, he would have been killed by the high temperature. By not opening his armor, he only delayed the speed of his death. Even if he didn't die of suffocation, he would eventually be suffocated and cooked inside the armor.
Shen Feng walked over with a smile and said, "It seems you couldn't hold back in the end and still used your abilities!"
Ke Yiming said indignantly, "It's all your fault, you scoundrel. If you had helped me, would I have ended up in this situation?"
Shen Feng looked around. Everyone had fallen. The only one still alive was Lu Song, who was hanging on the ice spike. He took off the cloth from his face and said, "I really didn't understand. If you need my help next time, you can call for help. Don't say things I don't understand."
"Hmph, asking me to call for help? Impossible, I have my pride," Ke Yiming said disdainfully.
Shen Feng shook his head helplessly, thinking, "This is what happens when you're too proud to ask for help and suffer for it."
Lu Kaiwen walked up and said seriously, "Stop arguing. We'll set fire to all these cars later to cover up the truth about using abilities. It's just a cheap way to give these scumbags a cremation."
Mu Ying walked to Lu Song's side, holding a knife made of ice, and said softly, "Perhaps, in the eyes of people like you, women are the easiest to bully, so you can abuse them at will. But now, I am here to avenge women. Remember not to be so cruel in your next life."
"Wuwu..." Lu Song, hanging on the ice spike, wanted to beg for mercy, but his mouth was full of ice spikes, and he could not say anything in the end.
Mu Ying exerted force, and the ice knife in her hand instantly stabbed into the back of Lu Song's neck, giving this scumbag a quick end.
Now that the task of helping Mu Ying avenge herself was completed, Shen Feng asked, "What do we do next? Are you going to fulfill what you promised earlier?"
Mu Ying nodded and pointed to a group of people in the distance, saying, "Zheng Xiqing is over there. Her ability is called 'Lingying,' which is to control photons and can restore images that have occurred in a certain place at a certain time. You take her away. She can help you find the Dragon King's whereabouts."
Shen Feng suddenly realized that they were asking Zheng Xiqing to use her abilities to help them. However, this ability was truly unheard of, being able to restore past images.
Ke Yiming couldn't help but ask, "Then what about you? Where are you going?"
Mu Ying said seriously, "Next, I'm going back to the city to rescue the women in the manor first, and then take these people to Dabie Mountain, especially the women in the small building. They saved me at least once, so what I can do is to lead them to find a paradise."
After speaking, Mu Ying chopped off Wu Jingjiu's head with a backhand, muttering to herself, "It can at least transfer abilities, so it shouldn't be wasted. Scumbag or not, abilities are always a good thing."
Shen Feng and Ke Yiming exchanged glances and made a decision. They then piled the bodies and cars together, set them on fire, and destroyed the scene. There was a lot of gasoline in the cars, and even heavy rain could not extinguish the flames.
"Let's go, let's hurry and kill the Dragon King, and quickly make a name for ourselves," Ke Yiming muttered.
