Chapter 980: Chapter 980

Chapter 977: Are you risking your life?

Zhang Yi looked down from above at Baldier. Today, he absolutely had to kill this troublesome opponent!

Otherwise, his plans on Star Island would face massive obstacles.

But when he met Baldier's sinister gaze, a heavy feeling arose in his heart.

Baldier's eyes held the look of someone ready to fight to the death.

The X compound was directly injected into his heart. Through this powerful blood pump, it rapidly circulated throughout his body, and the drug's effects quickly took hold.

Baldier's aura changed in an instant. Follow current novᴇls on novelFɪre.net

Zhang Yi keenly noticed that he had become even more dangerous, as if a wild beast had awakened.

Baldier's eyes turned blood-red, and even his skin quickly took on a terrifying crimson hue.

Zhang Yi instantly realized what was happening.

He couldn't help but admire inwardly that his opponent truly lived up to being a top-tier Columbus Ocean warrior, able to recognize when the situation was turning against him in the shortest possible time.

If this dragged on any longer, Baldier would inevitably face the outcome of having his supernatural abilities completely drained, followed by being killed by Zhang Yi.

Rather than that, it was better to take advantage of his current peak condition, inject the drug, and fight with everything he had!

However, if Baldier wanted to fight to the death, Zhang Yi certainly wouldn't inject Compound-5 to confront him.

Because that would be a completely meaningless action.

A turbulent aura erupted from all around Baldier. At this moment, his power had been strengthened to unprecedented levels.

He even carried a faint aura approaching the Epsilon-level.

Now, he felt like a single arrow from him could pierce through the sky!

Even this superhuman before him who possessed Absolute Defense, he could kill him!

But just as he raised his compound bow, ready to fight Zhang Yi to the death.

After leaving these words, Zhang Yi turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

After Baldier took the drug, although he would briefly erupt with astonishing combat power, the drug's effects wouldn't last very long.

Even though Columbus Ocean's pharmaceutical technology differed from Huaxu Kingdom's, this kind of drug that overdrafted one's potential would definitely bring massive weakness soon after.

Rather than fighting him to the death right now, it was better to slip away first, then wait for the right moment to come back and collect Baldier's weakened head.

Zhang Yi understood this perfectly clearly.

Baldier was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected this guy to be so despicable!

"Do you not have even a shred of a warrior's courage? Pah!"

Baldier cursed viciously.

But Zhang Yi completely ignored him.

What warrior's courage? He wasn't a soldier, what did that have to do with him?

After he killed Baldier and reported back to the command center, how the story would be told would be entirely up to him!

In an instant, Zhang Yi had already traveled a thousand meters away.

Baldier instantly completed the process of drawing his bow and nocking an arrow.

This time, his arrow had turned blood-red, a bewitching arrow carrying a demonic, shocking power.

Baldier released his hand, and a red streak of light instantly pierced through the void, chasing directly after Zhang Yi's back!

Zhang Yi didn't have time to perform spatial traversal again at this moment, so he had no choice but to turn and open a Dimensional Gate.

The crimson arrow disappeared into Zhang Yi's Dimensional Space, soundlessly.

But Zhang Yi quickly opened the Dimensional Gate again.

Because Baldier's arrows were capable of tracking him, they couldn't be left inside the Dimensional Space.

Otherwise, when Baldier launched his second attack, Zhang Yi would find himself in a dilemma.

The crimson arrow swiftly flew out from the Dimensional Space, heading straight for Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi raised the long sword in his hand and slashed down hard with it!

Crimson blood light and black light shot skyward, triggering a violent explosion.

The two forces canceled each other out, and Zhang Yi retreated several hundred meters to avoid secondary damage from the explosion.

Baldier's eyes turned sinister, "Even this can't injure you? Is this the ability of the Jiangnan Region's top combatant, Absolute Defense?"

But this time, he clearly had the upper hand, because his abilities were starting to make Zhang Yi somewhat flustered.

Baldier crouched low, and around his body, blood-colored smoke slowly began to spread.

Then that blood-colored smoke rapidly solidified, transforming into hundreds of blood-colored giant wolves!

Baldier aimed his longbow at Zhang Yi, which also put considerable pressure on Zhang Yi.

Between two instances of spatial traversal, there would be a brief interval of less than a second.

But for a top-tier sniper, this interval was completely sufficient to capitalize on.

And during this interval, Zhang Yi was very vulnerable and could potentially be hit directly.

At this level, while the defensive capability of combat suits couldn't be called negligible, they definitely couldn't withstand fatal injuries.

Now, instead, Zhang Yi found himself forced to remain in place, unable to use spatial traversal to escape.

Hundreds of blood-colored giant wolves charged toward Zhang Yi at high speed, quickly surrounding him in the center.

But at this moment, Zhang Yi's helper Hua Hua also arrived.

It charged forward like a tank, directly knocking away several blood-colored giant wolves, then stood in front of Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi glanced at it but only said calmly, "You deal with the wolf pack! I'll handle that guy."

"No need to fight to the death. He's drugged up. As long as we drag this out, he's definitely going to lose!"

Time was not on Baldier's side.

Baldier sneered inwardly. The effects of the X compound could last for half an hour—it was Columbus Ocean's most advanced drug.

Zhang Yi's words meant he believed he could hold out for half an hour.

Baldier naturally thought Zhang Yi was being far too arrogant and overconfident.

He drew his bow with one hand, and death-tinged crimson arrows once again coalesced.

But this time, there were three arrows!

Zhang Yi's gaze sharpened.

Baldier had two types of arrow attacks.

One was the split arrows used for probing attacks earlier, and the other was the sure-kill arrows that concentrated powerful energy.

And now, Baldier was clearly using the latter.

"Your Dimensional Space can only handle one of my arrows. So how will you deal with the remaining two?"

As Baldier spoke, the three arrows in his hand went "Whoosh!" as they shot forth!

The three arrows headed in three different directions—left, center, and right—but all roads lead to Rome. Once they locked onto Zhang Yi, they would pursue him until they were destroyed!

"I'm starting to admire you a little."

In his right eye, white light began to appear, and the light rays started to distort.

One Divine Power directly blasted apart the crimson arrow in front of him!

While his right hand used Holy Judgment to shatter one arrow, his left hand opened a Dimensional Gate to trap another arrow.

But just at this moment, Baldier suddenly made a move that Zhang Yi hadn't anticipated.

He planted his longbow into the ground, a sharp dagger appeared in his left hand, and then he charged toward Zhang Yi!
