425 Compromise (1/2)
”To be able to restitute metal meant that he has already reached the essence of his special ability and he is very close to fully mastering it... Unfortunately, he still limits himself to the way of metal...”
Fang Yuan shook his head.
”Swoosh!”
Just as Fang Yuan was observing, William, who was opposite him, had already made his move.
”Pop! Pop!”
The steel beads that were even scarier than a machine gun rattling were similarly stopped in mid-air by the layer of water membrane. The steel beads caused ripples to form on the water but ultimately could not penetrate it at all.
”Indeed... Lei! You are very strong!”
William appeared excited and continued, ”Ever since I fought against the leader of White Pigeon Society, it has been very long since I met such a worthy opponent like you... hope you don't disappoint me!”
”Putt! Putt!”
Under William's control, large amounts of steel beads retreated. A bizarre change soon began as the tip of the beads became sharp and even formed spiral-like threads. The beads then surrounded and flew around Fang Yuan.
”Ding! Ding!”
As though they were searching for a weak spot, the large amounts of steel needles appeared from the skies, the ground and all directions as they flew quickly and attempted to pierce through Fang Yuan's water membrane. The surface of the steel needles even turned orange-red due to their high speed and intense rotation. There was also an irritating smell of rust.
As Lucy watched, her pupils shrunk and she could not help but stand closer to Fang Yuan.
She was clear if this mysterious Lei could not withstand the attack of those silver needles, her outcome would not be hopeful too. She would become like a beehive after being pierced by all those needles and there would be no chance for her to survive.
”Boring... same old tricks! They're useless against me!”
Fang Yuan bragged arrogantly, as though he was a powerful antagonist.
Fang Yuan waved his arm.
”Rumble!”
William was hung upside down by an invisible force and then viciously smashed onto a brick wall.
Under the loud crashing noise, almost the entire wall crumbled.
”Crash!”
As the masonry flew apart, William was pulled again. He was then wildly smashed against the ceiling, the walls and the floor, as though a giant was grabbing onto his leg and using it as a hammer.
”Bang! Bang!”
The loud bangs even made Lucy cringe and tremor in fear.
However, immediately, she noticed something was amiss, ”If I was the one under the brunt of such intense attack, I would have long become a pile of minced meat...”
The next moment, the invisible force grabbed William and smashed him into a sharp staircase corner.
”Ding!”
A crisp noise could be heard, as though steel was being hit against.
The strong and sturdy staircase which was built from antique wood collapsed immediately. However, William patted away the dust on his body and stood up slowly.
William's body was covered with a layer of iron sheet, his defence was astounding.
”Such a close shave! If I haven't fought with Black Man's Society's King of Myriad Thoughts before, I guess I wouldn't be able to withstand such a sudden attack...”
As William recounted with trepidation, the iron sheet continued to spread across his body, including onto his brows, eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
As a 3rd Tier mutant, William's body and fitness were naturally strong. Holding his breath was nothing to him.
However, moments later, he was shocked.
Around Fang Yuan, wooden planks, bricks... and many other things were forcefully pressed together by an invisible force, as though they were flattened by a million ton compressor. A gigantic obstruction was formed and smashed towards William.
”A force of the mind at such a level?”
Even though William was protected by his iron sheet, he still ran away quickly.
Such a tremendous force would definitely severely injure him if it landed on him!
”Impossible... this is White Pigeon Society leader's level of strength!”
As William tried to escape, his face was filled with disbelief, ”How could a mutant who just suddenly appeared be so strong?”
”Boom!”
However, he no longer had time to ponder about it.
A ”block” was viciously smashed in front of the gates and blocked everything, sealing off his escape route.
”Boom! Boom!”
Immediately, more blocks crashed down and buried William alive.
”What a lucky guy... if I didn't have to conceal my identity and disguise myself as a mutant with a mind force special ability... a thunder spell would have easily annihilated you!” Fang Yuan thought.
As Fang Yuan thought silently, he could still feel William's spiritual aura around. Fang Yuan was lazy to execute him and his eyes glowed, ”Rise!”
”Rumble!”
The ground rose and large amounts of soil were excavated. After excavating for an unknown depth, an underground warehouse appeared.
”No matter how sturdy a safe its, it would be useless once its entirety is stolen!”
Fang Yuan reached out his both hands and secretly executed his Underground Burrow Technique, ”Rise!”
”Earthquake!”
”Earthquake!”
Outside, there were even more policemen gathered around. They immediately felt the earth tremoring and shouted. They then evacuated the servants escaping from the castle.
”Rumble!”
In an instant, there was yet another loud noise.
Under the astonished looks of many, the ancient castle that represented Roth family's long history and heritage completely crumbled and caused dust clouds to billow everywhere.
Under the debris, a large warehouse made of golden alloy emerged from the ground.
”Clang! Clang!”
Fang Yuan went in front of the gold warehouse and casually lifted off the warehouse door. Numerous rare and precious artworks could then be seen inside the warehouse.
