Chapter 907: Encircling to Kill Zhang Yi
Zhang Yi saw Old Tian and felt slightly reassured.
It seemed nothing had happened to the people on the ship, though other dangers might exist around this island.
"Did anything happen during the day I was away?"
Zhang Yi inquired.
Old Tian shook his head: "Nothing happened at all. Everyone has been waiting for your return, Mr. Zhang!"
As he spoke, Old Tian gestured toward the cave: "Please come in and rest!"
Zhang Yi nodded and followed Old Tian into the cave.
But the moment he entered, he immediately noticed something was wrong.
Many people were missing from the cave—Zhu Yunque and some crew members had disappeared.The next moment, a violent explosion erupted from within the cave!
Zhang Yi snapped back to reality. Before him was Old Tian's eager smile, gesturing for him to enter the cave.
Zhang Yi's gaze gradually darkened.
If not for his Echo of Time ability, that sudden ambush would have killed even him if he hadn't reacted quickly enough!
In that fleeting moment, Zhang Yi figured out many things.
Old Tian and the others couldn't have betrayed him—they weren't foolish enough to use themselves as bait to die with him.
And Zhu Yunque and the others had disappeared.
This meant that after he left yesterday, other people had left this island.
Not only had they taken Zhu Yunque, but they had also set this trap waiting for him to fall into it.
As for Old Tian and the others, they were probably controlled by some ability.
The Old Tian before him now was merely a puppet.
Old Tian continued smiling, "Mr. Zhang, please come in!"
Zhang Yi looked at Old Tian and smiled as he nodded.
"Alright, let's go in."
Soon after, a violent explosion came from within the cave!
Flames shot into the sky. The power unleashed by dozens of tons of explosives in an enclosed environment was incredibly terrifying—the mountainside was blown apart, with earth and rocks flying everywhere!
Several kilometers away, a warship slowly approached.
Gunner held binoculars, watching the massive explosion on the island, a smug smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Success! Even a top-tier Delta-level enhancement-type empowered individual would find it hard to survive the power of dozens of tons of explosives."
"That guy might not die, but he'll lose most of his life force."
She waved to her pirate subordinates, ordering them to go ashore and investigate.
The pirates howled with excitement, rushing toward Luoyan Island in small boats.
But just minutes later, short screams came through the communicator.
Gunner's face showed no particular surprise.
Instead, a pleased smile appeared at her lips.
"So he's still alive after all?"
She never really expected such methods to actually kill that top-tier superhuman from the Jiangnan Region codenamed [Chaos].
But so what?
Right now, the 1st Squadron had already set up an inescapable net around Luoyan Island.
This time, he was definitely going to die!
Suddenly, something flashed before Gunner's eyes.
This fleeting thing appeared extremely slow in her vision.
When she clearly saw what it was, a fanatical fighting spirit flashed in her eyes.
It was a person, a man from the Huaxu Kingdom.
Zhang Yi came breaking through the air, heading straight for Gunner on the ship.
Gunner pulled out that strangely shaped, massive sniper rifle from her back and aimed at the sky.
Zhang Yi used [spatial traversal] again. In just two seconds, he could reach the ship where Gunner was.
But the moment he appeared, a bullet arrived precisely before him.
Buzz—
Zhang Yi seemed to see the space before him ripple like water—that was light distortion caused by powerful energy, creating an illusion of space twisting.
Gunner's speed was astonishingly fast, actually able to capture Zhang Yi's momentary appearance in mid-air.
However, the bullet still vanished into the dimensional space, not harming Zhang Yi in the slightest.
Gunner violently threw off the felt hat on her head, revealing a terrifying appearance.
Her head actually had hundreds of eyes like a dragonfly, densely packed on both sides of her head.
Compound eyes.
With such ability, she possessed superhuman dynamic vision—ordinary people's movements appeared like slow motion to her.
She raised her gun again, still aiming at Zhang Yi in mid-air.
Although her attack was once again absorbed by Zhang Yi's dimensional space.
This way, Zhang Yi couldn't use his [spatial traversal] ability to quickly approach.
"You think this means I can't kill you?"
Zhang Yi raised both hands flat, thirty times acceleration!
The two White Owls fired Origin Bullets, heading straight for Gunner's head!
Gunner's pupils sharply contracted. In her field of vision, the bullets were still too fast to track clearly.
Just as it seemed she couldn't dodge Zhang Yi's shots and was about to meet her end.
At that moment, splashes suddenly erupted from the sea to the side.
Dozens of thick tentacles extended from the seawater, blocking in front of Gunner!
"Thud!" "Thud!" "Thud!"
Over a dozen tentacles were directly pierced through by the Origin Bullets.
But the tentacles' toughness exceeded normal imagination, actually managing to block the Origin Bullets fired by Zhang Yi, saving Gunner's life.
The tentacles wrapped around a black shadow that landed on the ship.
It was a dark-skinned strong man. His sturdy body wasn't tall but very solid, his bare upper torso like forged black iron.
But what drew the most attention was his head full of dreadlocks and the dozens of octopus arms extending from the ends of both arms.
"Be careful, Gunner! He's the top combatant of the Jiangnan Region."
First Mate Naruga of the 1st Squadron said to Gunner.
Beast-type ability user, marine species, ability codename [Killing Octopus].
On Rockflow Island at this moment, Old Tian and the others lay unconscious but completely unharmed in the crater after the explosion.
Although the explosion looked frightening.
Once Zhang Yi was prepared, it was completely not a problem.
The moment he entered the cave, he had wrapped everyone in the cave with the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms, isolating them from the explosion's power.
Although those people seemed controlled and even tried to attack Zhang Yi, making them lose mobility was very easy for Zhang Yi.
He knew he had fallen into a trap.
But he still intended to meet the trap-setter, to decide whether to abandon everyone and leave, or make one final attempt to save these people.
But when he saw that the arrivals weren't the Colombian Navy but pirates from the Starry Sea Region, Zhang Yi started laughing inwardly.
The worst outcome would be Zhu Yunque being captured, with information about Zhang Yi already obtained by the enemy.
However, Zhang Yi's personal data was core confidential information of Blizzard City. Given Zhu Zheng's way of doing things, he wouldn't allow a rookie like Zhu Yunque to access it.
Moreover, Blizzard City didn't fully know Zhang Yi's true core secrets either.
Just from these two superhumans daring to challenge him directly, Zhang Yi knew very clearly—these guys still completely didn't understand their current situation.
