CHAPTER 1005: THREE TO ONE

Chapter 1005: Three to One

At the critical moment, Ounami and Christina finally arrived.

Ohgami Benimaru had been hit by three bullets. Although they weren't fatal wounds, his face was rapidly turning black.

Every bullet Zhang Yi used was coated with deadly poison—just breaking the skin would quickly cause the target to die from poisoning.

If Ohgami Benimaru hadn't been taking antidotes daily, he probably wouldn't have been able to suppress that terrifying toxin by now.

Seeing his companions arrive on the battlefield, he said with a dark expression, "Why did it take you so long to get here? If you'd been any later, I might have been dead!"

Ounami cautiously stared at Zhang Yi while explaining to Ohgami Benimaru:

"We encountered a small problem over there. We didn't expect that oversized creature to be particularly troublesome. We came to rescue you before we could capture it."

Christina examined Zhang Yi with a seductive gaze while speaking to Ohgami Benimaru in a disdainful tone:

"Who would have thought you couldn't even hold out for a few minutes! To be beaten into such a state so quickly!"

Ohgami Benimaru quickly injected himself with a powerful antidote to suppress the deadly poison on the bullets.

Then he gave himself another shot of adrenaline to enhance his condition for the upcoming encirclement against Zhang Yi.

He took a deep breath: "That's easy for you to say. Fighting him one-on-one is no ordinary challenge."

The three of them formed a triangular formation, with the one positioned at the front surprisingly being the one with the lowest superhuman ability index—Ounami, the Susanoo.

"Now that it's three against one, the situation is completely different!"

Their abilities complemented each other, especially Ohgami Benimaru and Ounami who, as long-time partners, could significantly enhance their combat power when fighting together.

Most importantly, they could boost each other's strengths and cover each other's weaknesses.

As for Hua Hua, it was blocked by that massive Blood-Spotted Snake King.

Zhang Yi coldly watched them.

Although he hadn't managed to eliminate Ohgami Benimaru within a few minutes, his objective had already been achieved.

Ohgami Benimaru's combat power was now reduced by at least thirty percent, and his internal injuries would shorten his effective combat time.

In this one-against-three battle, he had gained the initiative.

Throughout the Colombian Navy command center, everyone watched this battle with grave expressions.

This trio represented the joint forces' extremely high-level combat capability.

If these three could capture Chaos, it would greatly increase the joint forces' chances of seizing the Divine Source!

After that, as long as they dealt with the East Sea Region's Four Spirits, victory would be virtually assured.

"But can they really defeat him?"

Lieutenant Colonel Keludi said with some lack of confidence.

Zhang Yi had already killed two members of Hell's Lock, and his formidable strength was deeply imprinted in everyone's minds.

Especially his abnormal defense capability, which had once made people feel despair.

By now, the joint forces had reached a consensus.

Zhang Yi's attack methods weren't particularly fearsome.

What was terrifying was his almost unsolvable defensive capability.

If they couldn't break through it, they could only be slowly worn down to death by him.

However, Huo En calmly said, "We should trust them."

He looked at Keludi and the other officers, "Whether it's Christina, Amaterasu, or Susanoo, they are all elites who have emerged through countless life-and-death battles." 𝑅𝙖₦ÓΒĘṦ

"They know how to deal with the opponent before them."

Huo En wasn't wrong at all.

After learning that their opponent was Zhang Yi, each of these three had already begun formulating battle plans in their minds.

Three against one, triangular formation.

In Zhang Yi's mind, intelligence obtained from Thor the Thunder God also surfaced.

Christina, codename Medusa, possessed eye techniques that could seal others' mobility.

This was the only useful piece of intelligence; he didn't know anything else about the others.

As for the Neon superhumans' abilities, Thor knew even less.

But based on combat experience, he could judge that this Susanoo before him must be an expert in close combat.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have positioned him as the main frontal attacker.

Zhang Yi slowly narrowed his eyes. In this battle, he was actually at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence.

Therefore, he couldn't attack recklessly, to avoid falling into the trap of their abilities.

Meanwhile, the three of them were already discussing combat strategies through their communication channel.

Ohgami Benimaru wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "His spatial ability is too unsolvable—he can attack or retreat as he pleases. We must neutralize his ability to fight him properly."

"However, if we look on the bright side, his attack power is limited. As long as we maintain a certain level of strength, even if we realize the situation is unfavorable and immediately retreat together, he would find it difficult to kill us."

"In short, we absolutely must not go all-in like Uller did, ultimately losing our lives in the process."

At this moment, Christina spoke up, "Leave the task of sealing his movements to me!"

Ohgami Benimaru and Ounami glanced at her, and seeing Christina's confident expression, they felt somewhat reassured.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Nonsense! Don't you see who I am?"

Christina snorted coldly.

Ohgami Benimaru's eyes lit up, "Alright then! If you can seal his spatial ability—no, even if you can just delay it for 0.1 seconds, our chances of victory will increase by more than 50%!"

That's right—an increase of 50%.

Without the protection of space, Zhang Yi's personal combat power was simply not worth fearing.

And he and Ounami would use that 0.1 second to completely tear Zhang Yi to pieces!

"Then it's decided! Let's move!"

As soon as Christina finished speaking, her pupils suddenly glowed with a grayish-white dazzling light as she stared at Zhang Yi.

Harpy's Gaze!

The moment her eyes saw Zhang Yi, he instantly felt the energy within his body becoming sluggish.

Including his bodily movements, they were also slowing down.

Even though he had activated thirty-fold spatial acceleration, his mobility was reduced by half!

And in that very instant, Ounami, who was at the front of the trio, suddenly charged right in front of Zhang Yi.

A layer of terrifying black patterns appeared on the surface of his skin, and his entire body became like a wild beast, with crimson blood energy swirling around him.

A distance of several hundred meters was like nothing to him.

In just a moment, he abruptly appeared before Zhang Yi, then threw his right fist hard at Zhang Yi's face!

Ounami, the Susanoo—a reinforcement-type ability user, ability codename Mad God's Blood!

As the purest martial combat faction among superhuman schools, this faction's combat power in close-quarters combat was even sufficient to bridge large gaps in superhuman ability indices and instantly kill high-level superhumans!

Facing Ounami's frontal assault, Zhang Yi's first instinct was to open the Dimensional Gate.

However, this time, his connection to the space within suddenly became extremely sluggish.
