Science/Magic 70 Hunting The Lightning Car 4

Bloed snorted in disdain towards Harold's petty tricks. He held his saber on his hands and fixed his gaze on the lightning cat.

But someone moved first.

"Let me!" Liu Ying smiled and took a step forward. She clenched her fist and wrapped them in blood-red mana.

When the Lightning cat reached her, Liu Ying unleashed her fist.

"Die!"

The next instant, the demon and the cat clashed.

*Boom!*

A terrifying shockwave struck the surroundings. The trees around Liu Ying shook fiercely, and some of them were unrooted completely.

Then–

*Meow!*

The lightning cat cried in pain. It was thrown back a few meters and crashed against the ground, leaving behind a giant crater.

Liu Ying smiled. Her right arm had turned b.l.o.o.d.y, but it recovered quickly. In seconds, the injure caused by the lightning cat was no more.

The lightning cat, on the other hand, walked out of the crater limping. One of its legs had been almost destroyed.

Bloed whistled in admiration. Liu Ying's brute force was truly incredible. At the same level, and even a level above, not many were her match.

For the lightning cat to try to clash head-on against her, it was seeking its own death.

'Worthy of the bloodline that ruled the demons for many generations.' Bloed praised inwardly.

Liu Ying had not even used her aspect, but her brute force and regeneration speed were already this outstanding. If she uses her aspect, her power will increase for at least one level.

Even Bloed has to be wary if he faces Liu Ying in her strongest state.

The lightning cat stared at Liu Ying in fear. It could not understand how this lithe-looking girl was so strong.

Now that Liu Ying had injured it, the lightning cat was truly out of options.

Harold and Gerald were dumbfounded, but before they could react to the situation, Liu Ying moved.

She kicked the ground and charged towards the lightning cat with her fist clenched.

The lightning cat panicked. It jumped aside hurriedly to evade the hit and retreated in panic.

But Liu Ying just smirked. Once her fist hit the ground, she used the recoil caused by the shockwave of her attack to shrunk her body and unleash a kick towards the cat.

It was a combat technique she had learned recently from Bloed!

*Bam!*

The lightning cat was kicked against the ground, creating another giant crater.

But this time, the lightning cat was unable to stand up again.

Liu Ying stretched her neck and looked at the lightning cat and then at Harold's group with a disappointed look. "So weak, I was expecting more after I saw you guys having so much trouble fighting it."

Harold's face flushed in embarra.s.sment. Hearing Liu Ying's words, he was regretting allowing the lightning cat to attack them.

In truth, the only reason Liu Ying finished it so easily was that Harold's group had already tired it out. Moreover, Liu Ying's first blow was stronger than the cat expected, injuring it critically.

In a normal condition, Liu Ying would have found it hard to win against it.

Liu Ying walked towards the cat on the ground and lifted it. The cat looked at Liu Ying with a pitiful and begging look, but Liu Ying was a girl used to killing. Such tactics were useless against her.

She stared at the cat indifferently and grabbed its neck before twisting it.

*Crack!*

With an unpleasant sound, the cat died.

Harold, Gerald, and the others turned pale seeing that scene. Erika even felt she was about to throw up.

For an instant, they felt a bit of fear towards Liu Ying's indifferent expression when she killed the cat.

But Liu Ying smiled in contempt when she saw it.

"It's done." She looked at Gerald and threw the lightning cat towards him. "Can we go back now? I don't want to spend even a second more near some people."

"Y-Yes, of course." Gerald stuttered briefly and replied. He then flushed in embarra.s.sment when he realized he was intimidated by Liu Ying's aura.

Gerald looked at Harold and signaled something to him with his gaze. Harold nodded and removed the barrier.

So, with one of Harold's men carrying the lightning cat's corpse, the group started their return trip.

But before they exited the forest, Bloed's lips curved up.

"Regina, did you notice?"

"Of course, master, I noticed them a few minutes ago."

Bloed nodded. He then looked at Liu Ying with a smile. "It looks like today's main course is here."

"… So they attacked after all."

Bloed nodded. "I can feel a group of people approaching us from all directions. They are very stealthy, but n.o.body can escape my perception when in ten meters around me."

Bloed was not bragging. With his hair and eyes' perception abilities, almost nothing could escape his perception in ten meters around him.

Until now, only two people had been the exception, one was Chorius, the demiG.o.d-ranked bird, and the other was Sara, who managed to remain unperceived for a few seconds before Bloed discovered her. Bloed was still not sure how she had managed to do it.

Although Bloed and the girls detected the enemies, they did not show it in their faces. Bloed observed Gerald and Harold carefully, and as expected, they were looking at each other suspiciously.

At that moment, Sara looked in Bloed's direction briefly. Bloed noticed it and smiled at her.

Sara furrowed her brows and looked away.

In that tense atmosphere, the group continued walking, all of them waiting for the moment to strike.

Unexpectedly, though, the men did not attack immediately. Instead, they waited silently for their signal.

Where the exit of the forest finally appeared in sight, Erika smiled.

"Finally out, I was already tired."

As soon as her words sounded, the shadows descended from the trees.
