Chapter 66 Melee

The man who was speaking suddenly groaned, veins bulging on his temples, and staggered back two steps.

The next second, a wind blade pierced through the air and cleaved the megaphone in two with a "whoosh".

The man hastily activated his wood-based supernatural power, raising his arm to block. The wind blade still grazed part of his forearm, instantly tearing his skin and drawing blood that dripped onto the ground from his trembling fingers.

"Ano..."

Lu Beiye's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he suddenly spread his arms wide.

Dozens of gun barrels on the other side seemed to be twisted, and a "squeaking" sound of twisting metal rang out.

"Captain, the gun..."

The man glanced down at the wrecked gun, licked his canine teeth, and grinned maliciously: "Leave the healer alive, the rest—kill them all!"

"Yes!" the uniformed thugs shouted in unison.

The moment Lu Nange withdrew her spiritual power, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

"You want our lives?" She ground those words between her teeth.

She tossed several submachine guns from her backpack and tossed them to her companion: "Here you go!"

With a "click," the gun was cocked.

"Brother Zhuo!"

He Zhuo clenched his five fingers, and the earthen-yellow energy shield collapsed with a roar, releasing a torrent of sand.

"Sister Gu Wan," Lu Nange said rapidly, "the enemy is full of superhumans. After providing cover fire, you all retreat immediately!"

Eight tall and one short shadowy figures were drawn like a sharp sword.

"Fire!"

Led by Lu Nange, the group, all dressed in black short-sleeved shirts and cargo pants, lined up neatly.

In an instant, gun muzzles spat fire, and bullets crisscrossed!

Various colored energy barriers lit up on the opposite side: earth, metal, wood...

Stray bullets struck the shield, sending up blinding sparks that shimmered and dimmed the faces of both sides.

"Withdraw! Now!"

Chi Yi, carrying a sniper rifle, dragged Gu Wan and rolled into cover.

Ji Xian and Wen Qing followed closely behind, and the group quickly disappeared into the shadows of the shops along the street.

Seeing their companions safely evacuated, Lu Nange and the others simultaneously holstered their guns, and the next second—

Six supernatural powers soared into the sky, tearing through the night and charging straight into the enemy ranks!

"Withdraw the shields! Scatter them!" the wounded man roared, clutching his bloodied arm. "Leave no survivors, except for healers!"

More than ten people with superpowers rushed towards Lu Nange and her group.

They divided and surrounded Lu Nange and her six companions.

Lu Nange glanced coldly around—aside from her and Lu Beiye being entangled by two superhumans, Lu Xici and the others were surrounded by three or four people.

The fireball hurtled straight toward Lu Nange's door.

Lu Nange's spiritual power surged, and the two Level 1 ability users who were rushing towards her suddenly froze.

She kept an eye on Lu Beiye out of the corner of her eye, and when she saw her younger brother with vines wrapped around his neck, a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

"court death!"

The wind blades pierced the air, tossing the two heads high into the air.

Without a moment's hesitation, Lu Nange turned and rushed towards Lu Beiye.

Lu Beiye was surrounded by two men, one old and one young.

The elder manipulated the vines, tightly binding Lu Beiye's limbs and neck.

"Kid, don't waste your energy." The young man approached with a sinister grin: "Be a good boy and I'll give you a quick death."

Before he finished speaking, golden light burst forth in Lu Beiye's eyes. The moment the flying knife severed the vines, the entangled thorns suddenly exploded!

"It's still too early to tell who will win, Uncle!"

The little fellow wielded two golden swords, his eyes fierce and menacing, the cold light aimed straight for their throats.

The blood splattered on his bloodied face added to his ruthless look.

"Are you alright?" Lu Nange checked the marks on his neck with her fingers.

Lu Beiye gripped the golden throwing knife in both hands, blinked his wet eyes, and gently shook his head.

Bloodstained eyelashes cast a shadow in the moonlight, making the previous ruthlessness seem like an illusion.

...

He Zhuo was surrounded by four ability users, and his earth-type shield was already on the verge of collapse.

The earthen wall surrounding the building was scorched red by fire-based supernatural powers, and the heatwave distorted the air.

The veins on his forehead bulged, and he would occasionally splinter earth from the ground to retaliate, but he was already at his last gasp.

"Bang--"

A gunshot rang out, and the superhuman who was setting the fire fell to the ground.

A wisp of blue smoke rose from the muzzle of Chi Yi's sniper rifle.

"Brother Zhuo! Withdraw the shield."

Upon hearing Lu Nange's voice, He Zhuo immediately withdrew his shield, and the scalding clods of earth collapsed with a roar, sending sparks flying everywhere.

Lu Nange managed to restrain the three superhumans with her mental power.

He Zhuo and Lu Beiye seized the fleeting opportunity, and the earth spikes and golden darts erupted simultaneously, causing three figures to fall to the ground amidst screams.

...

At the same time, Gu Qi's situation was not good.

The wind blades attacked relentlessly from tricky angles, leaving the exposed skin covered in fine wounds.

"Damn it... you little bastard, you're playing dirty tricks, aren't you!..." He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Not far away, Lu Xici's fireball pierced the night sky, illuminating the figure of the attacker.

He fought and retreated, scorching fireballs raining down on the superhuman, tearing a path through them.

"pay close attention!"

He grabbed Gu Qi's arm and put it on his shoulder.

Gu Qi used the support to stand up straight: "Don't worry, I won't die!"

Eight superhumans surrounded them in a fan shape.

Gu Qi quickly scanned the battlefield, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Won't this day next year be the anniversary of our deaths?"

"Shut up!" Lu Xici crossed his arms, and fireballs hurtled to both sides like meteors: "If you make another promise, I'll burn you down first!"

Gu Qi slammed a jet of water into a superhuman, extinguishing the small flames on the superhuman's body.

Lu Xici rolled her eyes: "Undercover agent, take a break!"

Chi Yanzhou was stopped by a lightning-type ability user, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that something was wrong with Lu Xici and the other person.

With a slap of his right hand, a blinding bolt of lightning struck the weakest superhuman.

He darted forward, grabbed the convulsing enemy from the electric shock, and hurled him at the other three superhumans like a sandbag.

Before they could react, another serpentine bolt of lightning roared out, exploding in dazzling light between the four of them.

Chi Yanzhou leaped several times and rushed to Lu Xici's side.

Are you alright?

Lu Xici and the other person shook their heads, and the three of them stood back to back.

Chi Yanzhou looked at the lightning-type ability user who was chasing after him: "Aqi, spray water at them. Especially the one with lightning and sparks in his hand."

Gu Qi understood, and drew a circle with both arms, sending a high-pressure water jet sweeping across the circle of superhumans.

Chi Yanzhou poured lightning into the water column.

Blue and white electric currents surged wildly through the water.

In addition, there's the added blessing from the superhuman inside the water curtain.

"Ahhhhhh—"

The twelve superhumans simultaneously collapsed to the ground in spasms.

Lu Xici exaggeratedly shook off non-existent water stains from his clothes: "Aqi, from now on, you should keep your distance from me and Brother Yan!"

He caught a glimpse of Lu Nange and Lu Beiye rushing towards him out of the corner of his eye.

He pushed Gu Qi into Chi Yanzhou's arms: "Get your 'conductor' connected!"

She quickly went to meet her younger siblings: "Are you hurt?"

Chi Yi and Gu Wan, along with a few others, rushed out carrying weapons.
