When Cao Fulie and Yue Hengyi discovered the black sedan driving away, they immediately rushed forward to give chase. Yue Hengyi wore a mask, so he wouldn't typically be recognized, and to avoid fingerprint checks, he also wore white gloves.
"Can you find a way to intercept the car? We're far from the Ability Administration now, so there's no need to keep hiding," Yue Hengyi said urgently.
If Yue Hengyi were to act, under a ten-times gravity field, ordinary ability users would be defeated. Intercepting a car would be a simple matter. However, Yue Hengyi's ability was unique, like a scorpion's sting – known globally. Yue Hengyi's ability was gravity control, one of the most powerful in the nature element, and too conspicuous to be used easily. Therefore, the person capable of intercepting the car naturally became Cao Fulie.
Cao Fulie no longer held back. Intercepting a car? That was a piece of cake.
"No problem, leave it to me!" Cao Fulie declared, patting his chest.
Then, Cao Fulie looked at the distant car, extended one hand towards it, focused his attention, and coldly commanded, "Melt!"
Cao Fulie's ability was to control plastic. If his ability existed in ancient times, such as the Three Kingdoms or the Tang and Song dynasties, it would be completely useless. After all, plastic is an artificially synthesized high-molecular polymer. There was no plastic to be found in the world. Perhaps in areas with oil deposits, a tiny amount of natural plastic could be found, but that would be of no avail.
However, Cao Fulie was in modern times. In a modern society, plastic was used everywhere across all industries. Plastic microparticles had even been detected in the glaciers of Antarctica. Therefore, the material Cao Fulie could control was ubiquitous.
Cars had numerous plastic components. Although the main body of a sedan was made of steel, to reduce weight, many hard plastic parts were used. The hardness of plastic was also quite strong to a certain extent, capable of resisting strong impacts. Moreover, for the same volume, plastic was lighter.
As Cao Fulie began to use his ability, the plastic in the car immediately melted, whether it was hard plastic or soft plastic, it instantly liquefied.
When the steering wheel and dashboard melted in an instant, the driver was at a loss. He reached for the handbrake, only to find that it was also just a piece of metal. The bracket for the rearview mirror was also made of plastic and fell off with a crisp sound. The mirror was damaged as it fell.
The driver was completely bewildered by the situation and had no idea what to do. The plastic covering the steering wheel had melted, leaving only the metal rim wrapped in leather. The driver tried to turn the steering wheel forcefully, but it remained immobile, unresponsive.
"What on earth is going on? Why has the car become like this?" The driver was terrified, completely unaware of what was happening.
The plastic in the seat area also suddenly melted, causing the driver to fall directly onto the seat. The car was now out of control, and he had no idea what had happened. Meanwhile, He Kanwen, clutching the sack, thought anxiously, "It's finally here, it's finally here. The enemy has taken the bait."
Although He Kanwen was a scoundrel, he wasn't stupid. If he really intended to do something bad, he wouldn't say it in public; they should be talking in a private room. His mind was still functional. However, for the sake of the act, He Kanwen was cooperating with a group of people to lure Yue Hengyi into a trap.
The car was now out of control, and all the plastic products inside had melted. Even the dancing Piplup, used as decoration, had turned into yellow liquid plastic. In this situation, the driver was completely stunned.
Generally, drivers are well-trained and can react quickly to emergencies. However, the driver had never heard of what to do if the plastic inside the car melted.
Under Cao Fulie's control, the melted plastic instantly enveloped the engine compartment of the sedan. Once the engine was controlled, the car lost its power source.
The most critical part of the car's engine was naturally the cylinder area. By jamming the pistons, the engine could no longer take in fuel or rotate. The plastic even flowed into the cylinder block, completely blocking the passage of gasoline.
The engine stopped working, and the car slid for a distance before coming to a halt.
Just then, the car door on one side was suddenly kicked open. He Kanwen, carrying the sack, rushed out, shouting loudly in all directions, "Murder! Murder!"
Although it was early morning, people were already starting to move around on the street. When He Kanwen started shouting loudly, people nearby immediately turned their gazes.
Seeing this, Yue Hengyi quickly shouted to Cao Fulie beside him, "Don't let the chaos spread further! Deal with this scoundrel quickly."
Cao Fulie didn't hesitate and rushed forward. Before rushing, he said, "If I can't win quickly, remember to come and support me."
He Kanwen, carrying the sack, entered a small alley. Driven by a strong desire for survival, he displayed incredible speed, instantly outrunning Cao Fulie.
Cao Fulie rushed directly into the alley, but strangely, there was no sound from within. Yue Hengyi sensed something was wrong. Could it be that Cao Fulie was in danger? He then rushed forward. Upon reaching the outside of the alley, he saw a shocking sight.
Cao Fulie lay sprawled on the ground, his eyes wide open. There was a bloody hole in his neck, a gaping wound the size of a teacup, from which blood was constantly flowing. He had no signs of life and had died with his eyes open.
Upon seeing this, Yue Hengyi was stunned. He thought, "Who has such immense power to kill an ability user in such a short time?"
It had only been about half a minute since Cao Fulie entered the alley. In such a short time, no extra sounds had been heard. The alley was eerily silent, yet as Yue Hengyi approached, he discovered Cao Fulie was already dead. Cao Fulie was an ability user, after all, and yet he couldn't even cry for help. This was truly baffling.
"Brother, brother, who did this?" Yue Hengyi nudged Cao Fulie, but Cao Fulie was already beyond answering.
At that moment, a knife appeared out of thin air and lunged towards Yue Hengyi. The knife's appearance was perfectly timed, emerging from Yue Hengyi's blind spot. Most people would have died unknowingly from such a sneak attack.
However, Yue Hengyi was already a sixth-tier ability user. Upon sensing the danger, he immediately dodged to the side, evading the knife.
"Scoundrel, you ambushed me!" Yue Hengyi looked at the gleaming knife that had flashed past. He now understood who the killer was. He figured Cao Fulie must have been caught off guard at that moment, which is why he was killed.
Subsequently, Yue Hengyi unleashed his ten-times gravity field. Under the immense gravity, the surrounding buildings instantly collapsed. Under ten times gravity, the buildings could not withstand their own immense pressure.
The ground around Yue Hengyi also made a "thump" sound, the sound of someone falling.
Yue Hengyi's combat experience was exceptionally rich. Hearing the sound of the enemy falling, he knew that at this moment, the enemy could not withstand the gravity field and had been pressed to the ground. His attack then began.
The surrounding buildings were collapsing, and concrete slabs were falling from both sides. If Yue Hengyi were hit, he would be turned into meat paste, so the battle had to be concluded quickly.
Yue Hengyi drew the Kang Long Rod from his back and struck down forcefully. This weapon was forged from meteoric iron, incredibly hard, and its weight far exceeded that of ordinary weapons. Even someone wearing armor would be penetrated by this heavy weapon.
With a "dong," the Kang Long Rod struck down forcefully, directly breaking the waist of the invisible assailant on the ground. The person writhed in pain, forced to deactivate their invisibility and began to roar, their cries filled with agony.
With a "rumble," a heavy concrete slab fell into the alley, shattering into pieces instantly, and the paving stones were almost pulverized.
Seeing this, He Kanwen, who had been hiding in a corner, emerged and fled, running far away. He was afraid of being crushed by the falling slabs from above. If that happened, it would truly be a tragic end.
When Yue Hengyi saw He Kanwen appear, he didn't hesitate and immediately gave chase, gritting his teeth and saying, "Scoundrel, you dared to plot against us and killed one of my brothers. Today, you will pay the price!"
During their time together, Yue Hengyi had become familiar with Cao Fulie and Lin Yue. He had thought that as long as these two could use their abilities, they would be fine. However, an accident had occurred. Cao Fulie was easily killed by an invisible ability user, and he didn't know what had happened to Lin Yue.
Yue Hengyi knew that the reason they encountered this situation was likely that they had been exposed, and what they encountered today was a well-planned event.
Seeing He Kanwen ahead, carrying the sack and fleeing rapidly, Yue Hengyi couldn't bother to finish off the person on the ground. He knew that the most important thing now was to save Qin Kewei. As for the killer of Cao Fulie, his spine had been broken, and in the precarious alley, this person would not survive.
Yue Hengyi's speed was much faster than Cao Fulie's. He quickly caught up. He Kanwen felt the person behind him getting closer and closer, knowing he was powerful. He shouted to the sky, "Why aren't you saving me quickly? I'm about to be caught!"
Yue Hengyi's heart skipped a beat, and he looked around, thinking, "Could there be other enemies nearby? Are we walking into an ambush?"
While Yue Hengyi was in doubt, a black shadow suddenly appeared beside him and charged forward with incredible speed. Even Yue Hengyi, an ability user, couldn't clearly see the opponent's movements. As the figure charged, without a word, it grabbed He Kanwen and sped away.
Yue Hengyi felt a gust of wind and suddenly realized. This ability was too familiar to him – it was wind!
When he was with Shen Feng before, Shen Feng used his ability this way to accelerate himself.
Yue Hengyi momentarily thought Shen Feng had come to Yan Jing. However, upon careful consideration, he realized this black shadow was not Shen Feng. If it were truly Shen Feng, with his speed, no one could see him. Once he got serious, his speed would surpass the speed of sound. However, this person's speed was too slow.
"Five-times gravity field!" To stop the opponent's actions, Yue Hengyi immediately unleashed his ability within a five-hundred-meter radius. Under the coverage of the gravity field, everything around would experience five times the normal gravity, and even ability users would not be exempt from its effects.
