Chapter 173 – Your Father I, Will Hunt Some Birds (2/2)
Without hesitating, Lei Yu once again performed a series of continuous attacks. The second time contact landed on his body; Lei Yu was even more surprised. With his current speed, how was it possible that he was unable to avoid the mutant’s attack? Could it be that it had a homing or a tracking effect? That wasn’t right. Lei Yu couldn’t feel any presence of the fireball, it was as if it didn’t exist.
Lei Yu quickly understood something and made up his mind. He couldn’t rely on his instincts in this fight, he had to rely on his eyes. He was going to use his eyes to determinetrajectory of the mutants attack and then avoid its path.
With this decision, Lei Yu concentrated all his energy into one area. Even if he was struck by his opponent this time, his reciprocal attack would still take the mutant’s life.
Of course, Lei Yu omitted one thing, which happened to be the most crucial one!
Lei Yu’s figure was like a ghost while dodging around left and right. He did that in order to distract his opponent and prevent him from locking down his position. At this moment, the mutant didn’t make a single move as if he knew his fireball attack would no longer be able to hit its target. The mutant just quietly stood still waiting for Lei Yu’s arrival.
Cracking the ground below his feet, Lei Yu burst forth towards his opponent. His hand had already condensed a frightening amount of energy and any object he collided with would only have one outcome - getting completely crushed.
The mutant still hadn’t moved yet and Lei Yu’s pace didn’t slow at all. But once Lei Yu’s fist that was filled with lightning energy was about to land on the mutant, he only saw the mutant’s mouth curving into a strange smile before he shot up into the air.
Lei Yu overlooked this point, he completely forgot about the wings behind the mutant’s back which allowed him to fly! Maybe there was still a slight trauma from the time he fought against the Vampire Prince, but Lei Yu really hated those who could could fly. His attacks were greatly restricted against those with the flying abilities. Lei Yu could only rely on his internal energy to perform long-distance attacks, but those consumed an enormous amount of energy.
Lei Yu’s ordinary attacks allowed him to recycle the unused power. But when he used abilities that left his body, the power would fly out and his energy source would be continuously depleted.
Lei Yu’s brows were tightly knitted together. Wanting to beat this mutant was actually quite easy, but who knew how many more mutants would appear afterwards? Ten? One hundred? Or maybe even a thousand?! If he consumed too much energy here, then the consequences would be disastrous for him later on.
Moreover, there was still the fearsome existence of Dr. Tony who was an Ultimate Rank Mutant. A single mistake and his life would end here, so what should he do? It wasn’t wrong of him to impulsively rush to this underground base, but failure would be inevitable if he didn’t quickly come up with something right now.
Lei Yu simply no longer attacked and was retreating a few steps backward. He then struck a heavy blow to the ground creating jagged cracks everywhere, causing uneven pieces of concrete to rise up into the air and scatter about. Lei Yu picked up one of these pieces of concrete; “Shit, since you can fly, then your father I will hunt some birds!”
As he finished saying that, Lei Yu suddenly threw out the concrete he was holding. It flew off similar to the speed of a meteor, but it also had a bit of internal energy mixed in. Lei Yu could still tolerate the small output of energy here so he wasn’t too worried about this.
The mutant flying in the air didn’t expect Lei Yu to do this and couldn’t dodge in time; his left shoulder was hit by the piece of concrete. The concrete shattered while the mutant felt a burst of numbness at his shoulder. His left wing couldn’t even flap for a bit causing him to almost fall down. But after a short period, his body adjusted itself before he regained his balance in the air.
