His spear technique was impressive; he hit a Spider-man crawling rapidly on the street with a single shot.
The immense power instantly pierced through the monster’s body, killing it on the spot.
"You all assist from the periphery; I’m going inside to check," Master Pete said at this moment. Carrying a sniper rifle on his back, he moved quickly and charged toward the depths of the old town district.
Being a Spiritual Perception Master, he was confident he could protect himself. He now wanted to see what exactly was happening inside, and if possible, take the opportunity to kill that monster.
Just as Master Pete had left,
on the street nearby, a car came speeding along.
"It’s not a fleeing survivor, it’s... Li Yi?" Zhang Zhixiong took a glance and couldn’t help but pause.
"Why is he alone? What about Zheng Gong?" Liu Yue asked, "Could it be that the operation failed, and they also suffered heavy losses?"
"Not clear, but driving so fast suggests there’s an emergency. Forget it, let’s just focus on our task—to clear out these Spider-men near the district. As for the larger female one, leave it to Master Pete and Gu Mengping," Zhang Zhixiong said.
He indeed wanted to get involved, but was powerless to help.
Everyone agreed and promptly arranged their forces to start taking action.
However, they soon realized that these Spider Monsters weren’t spreading out or attacking them but were all converging in the direction of the commotion.
"The monsters are going to support; try to intercept and kill as many as possible," Zhang Zhixiong shouted.
However, with limited manpower, they couldn’t kill all the Spider Monsters rushing to the scene and let quite a few slip through.
Meanwhile, the sound of a speeding car rose again.
Li Yi, who had driven away just before, had now turned around and came speeding back.
"Li Yi, what are you up to? Going back and forth ," Liu Yue shouted, "Do you need help?"
Even if he didn’t understand, he realized that Li Yi hadn’t been running away but must have left to do something else; otherwise, he wouldn’t have driven headlong toward the source of the commotion.
But Li Yi didn’t respond to him.
As he drove, Li Yi was using the Guiding Skill; he couldn’t afford to be distracted. Otherwise, if the Guiding Skill was interrupted, he would be unable to hold onto his Hanging Man Spear.
Li Yi drove to the closest spot near the battle.
At this moment, Gu Mengping had already run out of breath and taken cover inside a building; he dared not show his face again, as it would be dangerous if the Spider Mother located him.
Yet the creature named Alice didn’t give up and let out bursts of strange calls while continuously searching the surroundings.
At this moment, the vicinity was swarming with Spider-men. They were gathering together, densely covering the area and continuously entering and exiting nearby buildings as if searching for the trail of their prey.
"Sister Lin, I’m back," Li Yi said over the walkie-talkie at that moment.
"I can see your car. What’s your plan?" Lin Yue asked.
Li Yi said, "Have Zheng Gong or Yuan Mingjin take another shot, blow the monster’s head off again to provoke it. Only then can I get close to it; otherwise, I’ll be targeted as soon as I show myself."
"After the shot, I’ll draw its attention; that way, your chances of success will be higher," Lin Yue immediately said.
"Alright, then you be careful, Sister Lin," Li Yi finished and then spoke into the walkie-talkie again, "Zheng Gong, Yuan Mingjin, find an opportunity to take a shot. Once you fire, I’ll move out."
Two acknowledgments came over the walkie-talkie.
Zheng Gong seized the first opportunity and locked onto the massive Spider Mother crawling on a building’s wall.
Without any hesitation, he took the shot.
With the sound of gunfire, the Spider Mother was unable to dodge in time and was hit in the head again.
This severe blow briefly halted the creature, but then, as before, the gaping hole began to heal. In just moments, the wound made by the sniper rifle was almost fully restored.
Though she couldn’t be killed, the pain of having her head shattered by a sniper rifle was undeniably real. She became enraged again and moved rapidly toward Zheng Gong’s position, giving up on searching for and pursuing Gu Mengping.
"So, Li Yi and the others finally took the shot... nearly got finished off there."
From the window of the building, Gu Mengping glanced outside, saw the creature leaving, and heaved a sigh of relief, then sat down somewhat exhausted.
Yet shortly afterward, his gaze shifted, and he saw a figure rapidly climbing to the top of the building, lying in wait in the creature’s path.
"Is that... Li Yi? What’s he trying to do, hunt down this creature? How can a cultivator at the inspiration realm have such courage? Does he not know this creature can’t even be killed by a sniper rifle? Wait, what’s that in his hand?"
Gu Mengping’s eyes narrowed focussing his vision, he clearly saw a transparent-looking bronze spear in Li Yi’s hand.
That weapon didn’t seem designed for the living; rather, it resembled the armament of ghost soldiers from Ghost Street.
Could it be that Li Yi had gone to Ghost Street to rob ghost soldiers?
Otherwise, how could he possess such a weapon?
Gu Mengping’s expression changed abruptly; something occurred to him: "Could it be that Li Yi is planning to strike at the creature’s soul?"
