“Impossible… This is absolutely impossible,” Bill roared, having just unleashed the laser strike with all his might.
He paid the price of losing both eyes. Although he and Ye Xingchen did not fight to the death, he clearly felt that he was no match for him.
So he was willing to blind himself, just for a chance to escape. But he didn't expect that the other party could find him by following his trail. His spatial jump was nothing to the other party and had no effect whatsoever.
"I knew you guys were like this all along." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. "I advised you before not to take this job, but you wouldn't listen. What's there to say now?"
"Heh, in our eyes, you're nothing but prey." The blond man sneered, his pupils shrinking and his eyes instantly turning into vertical slits.
A faint green light flickered in his eyes. This blond man was skilled in the field of mind control. In critical moments, he could control his target, making them attack those around them, or even control them to commit suicide.
He is now trying to control Ye Xingchen so that his teammates can find an opportunity to kill him.
However, the moment his consciousness touched Ye Xingchen's consciousness, he suddenly felt a loud bang in his mind, and then his consciousness was forcibly expelled from Ye Xingchen's mind.
*Pfft...* The blond man spat out a mouthful of blood. As his consciousness was expelled, his body was thrown high backward and crashed into a tree behind him with a thud.
"Don't try such petty tricks on me. When it comes to playing with mental power, I'm your ancestor." Ye Xingchen made no attempt to hide the contempt in his eyes.
Yes, when it comes to playing this game, he can be considered the ancestor of this group. This kid's mental strength is quite interesting, and it can't be said that it's weak, but unfortunately, he encountered Ye Xingchen. Ye Xingchen could deal with this level of mental strength in a matter of minutes.
Delis screamed, grabbed with her right hand, and a small golden bow appeared in her hand. She leaped up, nocked a small golden arrow with her right hand, and shot it at Ye Xingchen.
Her golden arrow instantly transformed into six, attacking Ye Xingchen from six different directions.
"Where does your power come from?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“I, my teacher, Augustus, he… came from the Pope, but he was an outcast abandoned by the Pope.” Vena composed herself. She sensed that Ye Xingchen didn’t seem to have that much killing intent, so she relaxed a little.
"The people of the Western world's popes? They are all believers in God, and even their lives belong to God." Ye Xingchen was somewhat lost in thought: "Then, does his power come directly from God?"
“It is said that the healing light comes from the Statue of Liberty. Before he disappeared, he taught me his divine magic, but my aptitude is average, and I can't unleash even one ten-thousandth of the healing light's power. Otherwise... even if someone is split in two, the healing light can restore them,” Vena said.
"Impressive." Ye Xingchen looked at Weina with a complicated expression: "I see a familiar aura on you. Tell me the truth about your origins and background."
“I…don’t know.” Vena’s expression was somewhat bitter: “My memories before the age of twelve are blank. After I turned twenty, I lived with Augustus. We were always on the run because he betrayed the Pope, so the Pope’s people were hunting him down everywhere.”
"Could it be that, like her, your soul was completely cleansed, and you don't even have your own memories anymore?" Ye Xingchen was somewhat lost in thought, seeing Jiu Li's shadow in her.
He could tell that she and Jiu Li came from the same place, and that they both possessed inexplicable divine power.
However, the source of this power is unknown, and it is equally unaware of its own origins.
Vena looked at Ye Xingchen tremblingly. She didn't know if she would survive. Although she had never killed anyone, she was, after all, a member of the team.
Now almost all of her teammates are dead, leaving her the only one left. She herself doesn't know what her future holds.
"Tell me, should I keep you here, or send you to see your teammates?" Ye Xingchen raised his head, a sharp glint appearing deep in his eyes.
“Don’t kill me, I’m useful to you.” Vena’s voice was a little hoarse: “I had no choice but to join them, because if I didn’t, the Pope would find me and kill me.”
"My role in combat is also limited; I'm mainly used to heal my teammates."
"I can tell you're not like the others, with your hands stained with the blood of innocent people." Ye Xingchen nodded slowly. "Alright then, I won't kill you. You can leave."
Ye Xingchen turned around to leave, but he stopped after a few steps because Weina was following him.
He turned his head and looked at Vena in surprise: "Why are you following me?"
“I…have nowhere to go.” Vena followed closely behind Ye Xingchen: “I can’t go back either, because without the protection of my teammates, my whereabouts will soon be exposed, and then I will be met with the Pope’s endless pursuit. I’m not good at attacking, so I’ll only have one way out: death.”
"So you'll be useful if you follow me?" Ye Xingchen smiled.
“At least… I can see hope in you.” Vena stared at Ye Xingchen: “At least with you, I can survive.”
"Following me might be even more dangerous," Ye Xingchen said. "Aren't you afraid?"
Vena shook her head and murmured, "I have no other choice."
“Alright, come with me. My name is Ye Xingchen.” Ye Xingchen said, “There is a girl who is probably the same age as you. The power in your bloodline is very similar. The difference is that I still don’t know where her power comes from, and her amnesia is more severe than yours.”
"Really?" A glimmer of light appeared in Vena's eyes. After so long, she had finally met someone like herself. Perhaps she and the girl she had never met were the same kind of people, and perhaps they could find out about their origins through this.
"Jiuli," Ye Xingchen called out casually.
A figure flashed to one side, and Jiu Li ran over. She looked at Ye Xingchen resentfully because Ye Xingchen had only told her to defend outside and hadn't let her do anything.
The moment her gaze met that of the blonde Vena, her pupils contracted sharply, revealing a hint of wariness.
Vena's perception was also extremely sharp. She sensed the dangerous aura emanating from the other party immediately and took a step back, adopting a defensive stance.
