Chapter 270 270: Shocking Ability (Request for Subscription)
Seeing this woman who walked out from the disc being arrogant in front of him, Hoshino Takeshi could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. Tonight, his companions died miserably one after another all because of this damned woman! He decided to personally teach her a lesson!
"Pei.....!" Thinking of this, he strode forward, pointing his blade at Pei Jin, just starting to speak.
"Thunderbolt Strike!" Pei Jin, seeing someone coming to fight her, whispered softly. The next moment, she appeared right in front of Hoshino Takeshi. Startled, Hoshino's words got stuck in his throat as he channeled his internal source into the long blade, ready to block.
"Shock Bomb!" As soon as the words fell, Pei Jin's seemingly missed punch swung by Hoshino's ear, and a deafening explosion suddenly erupted!
"Aaaaah!" Caught completely off guard, Hoshino screamed miserably as his knees gave way, collapsing to the ground. What was this! The one who could use such a bizarre ability had clearly been sent away. Why could this damned Chinese woman use the exact same power!
His scream didn't last long. As the sound of cracking bones came from above his scalp, he only felt a chill on his forehead as his vision was forcibly turned in one direction, then he collapsed to the ground with both eyes shut.
Everyone present was stunned by the scene before them, including Su Xiang, all staring with incredulous eyes at Pei Jin, whose delicate hands raised revealing dragon scales, as she inserted them into Hoshino Takeshi's forehead, snapping his neck.
After witnessing this, all eyes were again upon Jiang Donghu, seeing his bewildered expression, evidently, he too was in extreme shock.
Jiang Donghu's mind was a complete mess at the moment. He knew well that among many supernatural beings, it's not uncommon for two to awaken identical abilities. However, the direction of their awakening might lead to a different level of proficiency. But even if he believed that Pei Jin somehow resonated with him and awakened the same ability, how did she simultaneously use He Jiantao's ability?
No, no, no! It can't be that! Jiang Donghu shook his head repeatedly, recalling the words Pei Jin had once said to him, linking to her actions! It's the blood! Yes, it's the blood! Her hand once stained with He Jiantao's blood, and she had wiped it over his wound!
At the same time, Su Xiang, who was staring unblinkingly at Pei Jin, realized this. As he saw her kick the corpse beside her away and turn towards him, Su Xiang laughed and said, "That's quite the impressive ability! Miss Pei, can you tell me how many people's abilities you can perfectly mimic?"
"No, why, is it your turn next?" Pei Jin coldly refused expressionlessly.
Su Xiang hurriedly shook his head, reaching out to point behind Pei Jin and said, "No, no, no! He's still here, you killed the last guard brought for this operation, and he's planning to settle the score with you!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Jin suddenly felt a chill down her spine as she was locked by a gaze filled with murderous intent. She discreetly tilted her toes to hook under the hilt of the samurai blade that had fallen at her feet.
"Swish!" A sound of something flying through the air came from behind her, and before Pei Jin realized it, she quickly flicked the samurai blade with her toes. It flew into her hand as she spun around, slashing out.
With a crisp sound, an arrow of condensed internal source was sliced in half and dissipated back into fragments of internal source, scattering into the air. Pei Jin looked up to see Shitang Longsi holding a longbow, gazing coldly at her from a distance.
Pei Jin also stared back nonchalantly, twirling the blade casually as she started to walk forward. One arrow, bam! Deflected! Two arrows! Bam! Three arrows! Bam!
As Shitang Longsi's shooting speed increased, Pei Jin also quickened her pace, transforming into a flash of lightning as she blocked each shot. Just as the two were about to clash, Shitang Longsi waved his hand, causing the longbow to vanish and draw his long blade.
Thud! The two long blades traced perfect arcs in the air and clashed together.
Amidst the flash of lightning and roar of thunder echoing across the skies, the two attacked with reckless abandon, exchanging over a hundred blows in a matter of seconds. After another clash of blades, their figures leapt to opposite sides.
Gripping his slightly trembling arm, Shitang Longsi reflected on the battle with Pei Jin, silently comparing her to Jiang Donghu. He was astonished to find that not only had this woman perfectly mimicked the opponent's abilities, but she had surpassed them in strength. What worried him, even more, was that as the fight progressed, after initial clumsiness, Pei Jin grew increasingly fierce. By the end, she even started copying Shitang Longsi's moves. What kind of strange ability did this woman possess?
On the other side of the battlefield, Pei Jin wiped the blood from her chest, allowing her clothes to be sliced open by the enemy's long blade, revealing glimpses of skin, but she continued unabashedly, pointing her blade at Shitang Longsi and softly said, "You said earlier that you saw through his ability, and therefore had the upper hand." With that, she turned to Jiang Donghu behind her and pointed as she continued, "Then let me guess your ability. If I'm not mistaken, your ability should correspond to the Kamikaze Thunder God, right!"
"Oh! I didn't expect Miss Pei to know of our RB's deities, that's really rare!" Shitang Longsi's expression briefly flashed with anger and annoyance, yet he neither confirmed nor denied it, smiling as he responded.
"Thanks to your cultural exports. Although I'm not much of a homebody, I've watched quite a bit of anime with my brother." Saying this, Pei Jin held out the long blade stained with Shitang Longsi's fresh blood, gently slicing across her own left hand.
Seeing this, Shitang Longsi furrowed his brows and spoke deeply in imperfect Mandarin, "So Miss Pei has such a hobby. That's great; my brother also loves comics, and in my home, I have many comic collections, some with the author's autograph! If Miss Pei is willing to cease resisting and come with us, I am willing to give them all to you."
"Hey! You're just like those creepy guys in movies who lures naive little girls back home!" Pei Jin said, wiping the long blade in her hand, causing droplets of fresh blood to fall to the ground like vibrant plum blossoms.
"I've never seen such a strange movie. It truly hurts my feelings for Miss Pei to speak so."
"I'm truly sorry!"
As they spoke, traces of viciousness crept into their tones. As Pei Jin spoke the last word, their forms flickered once more, charging towards each other in a clash.
"Flash Bomb!" As they clashed again, after Pei Jin slashed with her blade, she flicked her left hand in front of Shitang Longsi's face, who instinctively closed his eyes. However, his slightly closed eyes didn't feel any intense light. Realizing he had been tricked, he opened his eyes in mild anger, just in time for a blinding flash to light up between them!
"Damn it!"
