Chapter 528: Opportunity

D*mn! Parapsyhic waves again! This one felt entirely different from the three in his courtyard. Ye Chong understood immediately that they were from their backup.

Ye Chong leapt forward, breaking free of the parapsychic waves and at the same time delivering a punch to Peng Acha. Peng Acha reacted immediately, letting go of the laser gun in his hand and raising both arms up to block Ye Chong's attack.

However, he did not know how much power was packed in Ye Chong's fist.

Ye Chong's fist landed straight onto Peng Acha's crossed arms - or rather, Peng Acha managed to block Ye Chong's fist. Both Edward, whose presence Ye Chong noticed, and Peng Acha were thankful for the block.

However, Ye Chong's attack was so powerful that Peng Acha's arms crumbled easily under the impact. The effect brought to mind a single word – obliteration. No one could ignore the pain from suffering broken bones in both arms. Peng Acha screamed in pain as he was pushed backwards from the attack, and subsequently blacked out.

Ye Chong felt helpless. These shooters were all very strong - he was stopped every time he tried to kill one of them. Nonetheless, two of the shooters had lost their battle capacity. Now, his opponents were their reinforcements.

There were 13 shooters in total. Wei Zheng was dead, and two were heavily injured. Shu Mo'er was still out of it, and he only needed to stay vigilant around her. This meant that he was left with 9 shooters.

A group of 9 Level 6 shooters was a formidable force. Ye Chong could fight evenly against three of them in the courtyard just now because they were all close to him. In short range exchanges, Ye Chong's powerful moves were effective even against combat experts, much less the weaker constitutions of these shooters.

Now, however, Ye Chong had lost this advantage.

One by one, new and distinct parapsychic waves enveloped Ye Chong.

Ye Chong retreated backwards quickly. He saw five of the shooters on the wall surrounding his courtyard, surrounding him. They had laser guns in their hands, and were giving him looks of hatred.

There should be 9 of them, not five! Ye Chong did not know where the other four were, but he knew that everyone in the group was here now. He could sense the nine distinct parapsychic waves around him.

Dozens of laser beams shot towards him from all directions.

Zong Wen's expression was grim. The opponent was very strong. Their timely interference was the only reason their three comrades were not dead by now. What a strong enemy!

Aside from the wound on his left shoulder, the man seemed unscathed. This man was not a shooter, but his strength had made them all wary. He did not seem human at all, moving even faster than an animal. He was also very strong, hurting Peng Acha like that. How could any human possess this amount of strength?

Zong Wen's eyes scanned towards Peng Acha, lying unconscious at a corner. Bones protruded out of his arms, bringing a chill down Zong Wen's spine, despite his long experience with violence.

On the other hand, the man could sense their parapsychic waves. Zong Wen shook his head inside. He had to continually reassess the threat level of this man. Every time he thought he understood his opponent's abilities, the man would surprise him again with something extraordinary.

He could not lock on to the man with his parapsychic sense at all. This came as a shock to Zong Wen. Shooters were strong because of their parapsychic sense. If their parapsychic sense failed, they would lose their greatest advantage.

Ye Chong moved, fast as lightning.

He dared not slow down even the slightest bit, for fear of being locked on by their parapsychic sense. Ye Chong knew that the next shot that hit him would definitely be fatal. No, there may be more than one shot. Sha Ya's demonstration of continuous shots had left a deep impression in Ye Chong.

Laser beams came down onto the courtyard like a heavy shower. Ye Chong once again surprised his opponents by twisting and turning at physically impossible angles. His body parts were so flexible that he could execute all the physically impossible moves almost easily.

It was an eerie sight, watching a man avoiding the laser beams that rained down him. The shooters who rarely missed now found themselves a target who continued to slip through their attacks.

Gradually, the shooters felt a chill blossoming in their hearts. This man was so mysterious and unpredictable! The afterimages in his wake made him look like a spirit that came from Hell.

Ye Chong was having a rough time. He was now rendered passive, and could not get close to his enemies. That put him at a heavy disadvantage.

Ye Chong was never used to staying on the defence for long. He searched for a plan to retaliate.

He pushed down with his right hand and rolled to his left, curling into himself as he did and reached for the dagger by his thigh. Daggers were always Ye Chong's favorite choice of weapons. The one he usually had on him was given to Ban Meng, but this one was made using the Research Consortium's equipment. He got his metal alloy material from disassembling a mech's part.

Ye Chong aimed at Zong Wen. He did not recognize the man, but felt that he was the leader of the group.

Zong Wen realized something was wrong the moment Ye Chong threw out his dagger. Zong Wen's parapsychic sense informed him of the dagger, which also alerted his comrades.

None of them sensed any parapsychic waves before the dagger was thrown. They found it hard to believe that there were still long range weapons in this world that did not rely on parapsychic aiming.

Ye Chong had attacked by aiming with his eye, throwing the dagger with his hand, and deciding the strength of the throw by experience. None of the three relied on parapsychic abilities, so he managed to surprise the shooters.

Zong Wen reacted quickly – he aimed his laser gun at the incoming dagger and fired.

The dagger was fast, but not as fast as parapsychic reaction.

The laser beam hit the dagger in midair, creating a brilliant spark.

The laser beam itself did not have significant momentum. It caused damage through the high energy intensity, melting or evaporating its target.

However, melting or evaporating a solid dagger in a short time was not easily achievable. Dozens of shots could only chip off a small part of the dagger. This was because the dagger was made of metal alloy from a mech part, which had highly defensive properties by design.

Zong Wen's comrades realized the issue. They quickly focused their laser beams at the dagger.

Ye Chong finally witnessed the incredible accuracy that Level 6 shooters were capable of. The laser beam shower in the courtyard disappeared as they all converged onto a spot in the air. None of the beams were off target.

Ye Chong was in awe. Even in He Yue Galaxy, it would be very hard to find a mech pilot who could aim and shoot so well. In this world, shooters of this calibre seemed to be everywhere.

The dagger had bought precious time for Ye Chong. He felt all the pressure on him relieved. His plan had worked. Ye Chong's eyes gleamed with a coldness that could rival the severest winters.

Ye Chong stood up straight and did not move.

He inhaled deeply, expanding his chest like a balloon, and activated his throat muscles.
