Chapter 178 – Lunar Star’s Second Form (2/2)
Without the power of the green energy and because he no longer had the Spiritual Bead of Longevity, the current Lei Yu was way more cautious than before. He didn’t want to take unnecessary risks but that was clearly impossible now, he had no other choice when stuck in this situation.
The powerful internal energy started to fluctuate and wrap around Lei Yu’s hands. He decided to use the second form of the Thirty-six Lunar Stars technique, and chose to use both hands in order to carry out a two-way attack. Although this method would weaken the attack, at least it would change his current situation of being surrounded.
After making up his mind, Lei Yu firmly clenched his fists, about to release the second form’s attack. But it looked like the Panther understood what Lei Yu wanted to do and immediately made a move the moment before Lei Yu was about to form his attack. Panther rushed towards the middle at Lei Yu, who was in a similar situation to a caged beast. The other three mutants were coordinating with Panther’s movement and shrunk the triangular shape by rushing towards the center together.
Even though Lei Yu was agile, but even so, his extraordinary dexterity didn’t allow him to fly into the air to escape. He didn’t have wings, nor did he have the Pope’s ability to float in midair. Could it be that he was going to get cornered just like that?
“You’re indeed fast but I’m faster!”
The biggest advantage Lei Yu had was his speed, so he upped it to the maximum of his ability. With the supporting effects of the Ares boots, a golden light suddenly started to shine from his feet. Lei Yu’s body was like a cannonball as it shot forth and collided head-on with Panther.
On the matter of speed, there was no one present who could match Lei Yu’s. Regarding defense, it was obvious that the one-eyed gorilla and Rhinoceros were the most powerful ones. And when it came to attack power, Bear’s strength was the most shocking one out of everyone. Since Panther’s speed couldn’t be compared to Lei Yu; his attack power wasn’t as good as Bear; and his defense wasn’t as strong as the one-eyed gorilla nor Rhinoceros; Lei Yu abandoned his previous thoughts and decided to make Panther his target.
“Crack!”
“Boom!”
“Agh~!”
After several collisions, one could see the attack speed of those two were extremely quick as if they were barraging each other with bullets. Each collision would cause a bright burst of light. Panther angrily screamed before suddenly retreating backwards. Since all of Lei Yu’s attacks contained the power of lightning, it gave Panther a type of pressure that was very difficult for him to resist, which caused him to retreat. This gave Lei Yu the ideal opportunity, so with a flash step, he rushed off to the side and stomped on the ground. With a jump, Lei Yu flew over three meters before doing a somersault in the air and landing over ten meters away from three other mutants.
After creating an advantage of distance, Lei Yu quickly displayed the second form’s technique that he didn’t use previously. Everyone present could only hear him shout: “Lunar Star’s second form!”
With Lei Yu as the center, a meteor-like light burst out through the air with a hissing noise - its target was the one-eyed gorilla standing off in a distance. To say it more accurately, the target was the horrifying chest wound the one-eyed gorilla had already been injured with.
The distance of over ten meters was traversed by Lei Yu’s attack in an instant. One didn’t even have time to blink before the attack arrived at its goal. At this time, no one could save him. Previously the one-eyed gorilla didn’t die, but that didn’t mean his fate would be permanently changed.
“Agghhh!”
“Crack!”
