‘Sonic attack! Accurately speaking, they are interwoven sound waves. The bats can cooperate with each other to simultaneously emit ultrasonic waves and avoid wasting energy. In that way, they can achieve the strongest killing effects’ Ran Xiyu’s voice sounded in her teammates’ minds.

The sound wave generated by humans through speech was an omnidirectional on, so the intensity attenuation was also very fast, which was proportional to the square of the distance radius. It was like that because almost all the wave divergence was spherical, and the surface area of the sphere was proportional to the radius. As such, regardless of gravity or electromagnetic force, their primary calculation formulas were similar, obeying the inverse-square law.

In the case that the sound wave did not diverge, it would become a cluster, so its attenuation ratio was very low. This was also the reason that sounds passing through a rolled book sounded louder in another person’s ear.

Just the extent of evolutions that the bats had to undergo in order to produce directional sound waves out of thin air was simply unimaginable.

“Once the intensity of that sound wave strikes a person, I’m afraid that the affected person will turn into a bloody paste. Zhuying, get back on the tour bus hastily!” said Jiang Liushi solemnly. Undoubtedly, the MCV was the strongest form of protection.

Jiang Zhuying nodded and went back immediately while shouting, “Brother, be careful!” Jiang Zhuying was aware that Jiang Liushi would be distracted if she were to stay and fight with him.

As Jiang Zhuying was getting on the MCV, Jiang Liushi sensed danger and jumped forward without hesitation. Soon, the spot where Jiang Liushi was earlier standing burst into powder. The impact of that attack was stronger than what Yuan Fei and Wen Tian experienced. The bats’ ultrasonic attacks were simply inaudible, invisible and extremely deadly as their speed was lightning fast. Moreover, the attack range was large, so even if one were to detect the attack, it would be tough to dodge it.

In fact, it was near impossible to detect the attacks so calling them the embodiment of silent death was not exaggerated. Unaware that the Grim Reaper had already swung his scythe to harvest lives, many of the present people would die. Jiang Liushi could dodge due to his keen sense of danger, something that only level-2 paranormals possessed.

“Kaa!”

Another attack followed, and fortunately, Jiang Liushi jumped in the air and dodged again. The moment Jiang Liushi jumped, he was forced to change his body’s trajectory by borrowing the force of the large chain in his hands. Jiang Liushi’s body seemed to violate the laws of physics and traverse directly.

“Bang!”

The stone wall, which was in the direction where Jiang Liushi was heading, was smashed, collapsing to the ground.

Upon seeing that, cold sweat covered Jiang Liushi’s forehead. It was out of his expectation that the bats would know how to use feints and block his routes of retreat. A bat pretended to attack Jiang Liushi to force him dodge, while another bat launched the real attack.

Jiang Liushi estimated that the bats’ intelligence was not that high, but instead, it was all due to the Puppeteer’s control. Although Jiang Liushi could sense danger, it consumed a lot of his energy to remain that vigilant. One wrong move and the outcome would be awful!

“Go die!” shouted Jiang Liushi and suddenly jerked the chain in his hand. Then, the chain was disconnected from the pangolin’s giant scalp. In the next instant, Jiang Liushi used the thick chain like a whip and slammed it heavily toward the sky, aiming at the bats.

Unfortunately, the bats expected Jiang Liushi’s attack so they flew higher, avoid the chain effortlessly. When Jiang Liushi saw that, he frowned. Presently, his most fatal weakness was that he could not fly. Therefore, it was impossible to contend with the bats while they were in the air.

“Brother Jiang, let me help you!” shouted Xiang Xuehai as she was about to rush out of the tour bus.

However, Jiang Liushi stopped her at once, shouting, “Don’t get out!” He clearly knew that he couldn’t fight against the bats even with Xiang Xuehai’s help.

“But- Brother Jiang, what should I do? I joined the team so to assist you in air combat. If I can’t help you, what should I do?” asked Xiang Xuehai nervously.

Actually, she also knew that with her present strength it was impossible to deal with the four bats in the air. Jiang Liushi did not answer as all of his focus was on the four bats. Meanwhile, they launched another attack and a loud explosion sounded behind Jiang Liushi. The explosion came from one of Long Teng’s SUVs. Its frame was deformed, the windows shattered while all the passengers inside were dead by the deadly attack. The steel and the humans inside had become one…

“Liang Zi!” shouted Jiang Cheng with reddened eyes. He was the only one amongst his teammates that could sense the danger in advance. The rest of his teammates were not that fortunate.

“Kamikaze Beasts! Hahaha!” Xia Mei’s brother laughed like a madman. It was his first time witnessing the mighty Kamikaze Beasts’ strength.

“Be careful! Get down quickly! Scatter, immediately!” shouted Jiang Cheng.

Following his orders, all his members abandoned their cars. However, no matter how fast they ran, they were still unable to escape from the attack, resulting in many deaths.

“F*cking things! Go to hell!” One of Long Teng’s members picked up an RPG rocket launcher that belonged to the Sword Club and aimed it at the sky. Although the rocket was more powerful that Wen Tian’s bullets, its movement was too obvious. Not even crossing half the distance, the four bats destroyed it.

“Damn it!” Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth. Unfortunately, he did not know how to deal with the bats. It was a one-sided slaughter!

Of course, the bats’ primary target was still Jiang Liushi.

BOOM!

At that moment, a cannon barrel was stretched out of the tour bus, and a booming sound followed right after. The barrel launched violent airwaves mixed with Black Light toward the sky. The addition of Black Light had totally transformed the air cannon; even after a few hundred meters of power attenuation, it still carried a destructive force.

A bat desperately ducked but still couldn’t dodge the attack. Thus, its wing was struck and it lost a big chunk of its flesh!

One could see a big, nasty hole in the middle of the bat’s 10 meters wing. The bat was struggling desperately in the air not to crash on the ground before the other three bats dove to save it.

“Ying, good job!” praised Jiang Liushi.

Unsurprisingly, Ying remained emotionless. As long as Jiang Liushi ordered her, she would do her utmost best to follow through perfectly every time.

At that moment, Ying frowned as it noticed that the wounded bat’s skin was regenerating quickly. Meanwhile, the three bats carried it and flew behind the tour bus, which was also the air cannon’s blind spot.

Ying estimated that the moment drove the tour bus, the four bats would change directions immediately. If they were to play tag at the time, the wounded bat would be healed. Consequently, that would give the bats the chance to start attacking again.

Suddenly, Jiang Liushi ran at what remained of Long Teng’s city wall.

“Ah?” The sight of Jiang Liushi running like the Flash flabbergasted Yuan Fei and Wen Tian.

“Give me your sniper!” said Jiang Liushi to Wen Tian and stretched his hands.

However, Wen Tian did not move in the least as she had yet to snap out of her dazed state.

“You- you want to shoot the bats? But this gun… is powerless against the bats…” said Wen Tian after some time.

Jiang Liushi frowned and answered, “Quickly! Time is of the essence!”

“Okay… but my sniper doesn’t have a scope!”

“Stop wasting time!” Jiang Liushi was fuming in anger and could help but wonder why that woman was so verbose.

“You!” Jiang Liushi’s behavior annoyed Wen Tian. Were he, not the person that had saved them from their precarious situation, she would have gladly slapped him. Everyone is Long Teng usually treated her like a princess, but before Jiang Liushi she didn’t have the confidence to act like that. She threw her gun to Jiang Liushi, as well as two boxes with specially made bullets.

In fact, Jiang Liushi wanted to use Wen Tian’s sniper rifle because of those bullets.

“Don’t stand near me! Be careful, or else you’ll likely turn to bloody paste!” said Jiang Liushi coldly.

Wen Tian frowned when she heard that. In her mind, Jiang Liushi was no different than a humanoid beast, both in physical strength and mentality.

Yuan Fei, on the other hand, didn’t dilly-dally, and he pulled Wen Tian swiftly. When they saw Jiang Liushi lifting the gun, loading it and aiming at the bats, they were rendered speechless. In their minds, the outcome would be the same as Wen Tian’s. Undoubtedly, Wen Tian’s marksmanship was top-notch, but against those bats it was useless.

“Careful with my gun!” Although she felt that Jiang Liushi was an exceptional individual, she couldn’t help but feel worried. In her mind, Jiang Liushi was a paranormal with unlimited physical power, and from her experience, such types lacked in brains.

At that very moment, Wen Tian witnessed Jiang Liushi pulling the trigger without taking aim!

Boom!

The sniper rifle emanated an explosive sound, which shocked Wen Tian. As a paranormal sniper, Wen Tian had reached the epitome of marksmanship, but even so, she still needed a few seconds to adjust her aim before pulling the trigger. She could not help but wonder how Jiang Liushi was able to shoot without aiming. Jiang Liushi’s actions were quite strange, and some sweet memories of a multiplayer first-person shooter video game that she played before doomsday resurfaced. Also, a phrase that players that had been killed several times would often use came to her mind, “Brace yourselves! I will play with open eyes now!”

Wen Tian thought of many possibilities, but she didn’t notice the blue light enshrouding Jiang Liushi’s bullets. In the blink of an eye, the blue-covered bullets disappeared from sight, seemingly dividing the sky in half. However, nobody noticed anything because of the blue sky.

Jiang Liushi had a crazy idea. Since the blue light could dramatically enhance his power once focusing it on a certain body part such as his fist, he decided to give it a try and pour all of his energy into the bullets.

His experiment was a success!

The armor-piercing projectiles’ speed had surpassed the speed of sound by 12 times, which was far more than the bullet speed of any rifle.

In the next instant, a booming sound came from the sky. One of the bats’ body trembled violently in the air before its head burst open like a watermelon and blood oozed out like a torrent.

Everyone was astounded!

“How is it possible?”

“How can that bullet be so powerful?”

“Why is it different from Sister Wen’s shot?”

While they were trying to fathom what happened, the huge bat slammed against the ground heavily. This time its partners could not help it. Its ten meters long wings covered the ground, while the blood from the disfigured head dyed the ground’s surface red.

It was not hard to confirm that Jiang Liushi had truly killed the huge bat. Everyone stood agape with halted breaths. They all felt as if they were playing World of Warcraft (WoW). But in this case, Jiang Liushi was a battle-hardened veteran, while Wen Tian was a noob!
