CHAPTER 949: SMOKE

Chapter 949: Smoke

El Bart's sudden death caught the entire Malayan superhuman team completely off guard.

Before they could even react, two more superhumans collapsed to the ground.

One had half his body blown apart, while another had a massive hole torn through his chest.

Enemy attack!

The Malayan superhumans immediately scattered.

Savendra remained standing perfectly still, only deeply furrowing his brow.

"What a formidable enemy! I didn't even sense the speed of their attack!"

Their superhuman team included numerous top-tier close combat experts.

For most superhumans at their level, snipers posed minimal threat.

Bullet speeds were slower than their reaction times.

Yet this time, they only became aware after the bullets had already torn people apart.

This was a terrifying enemy!

Savendra understood that this person was likely the powerful superhuman who had eliminated the New Rohan squad!

Savendra opened his mouth and exhaled a long stream of white smoke.

"Pursue!"

He issued the command to the superhumans around him.

According to the conservation law of superhuman abilities, those with powerful long-range capabilities typically lacked equally strong close combat skills—unless the opponent was a superhuman far beyond their level.

However, Savendra believed that since Golden Phoenix City was the farthest from Mist Valley, the presence here was merely a delaying force rather than the main opponent.

This meant they had an opportunity to counter-kill their adversary!

Savendra made an encircling gesture.

Immediately, two fully armed enhancement-type superhumans bulged their muscles and dashed like lightning toward the direction the bullets had come from, one from the left and one from the right!

Another superhuman drew a sniper rifle from his back, instantly completing the actions of raising the weapon, releasing the safety, and aiming.

"Too obvious, what an amateur sniper!"

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he pulled the trigger.

A powerful energy wave instantly pierced through the thick fog, following the trajectory of Zhang Yi's bullets!

"Bang!"

Three gunshots rang out almost simultaneously, their sharp sounds cutting through the air.

The two superhumans attempting to encircle Zhang Yi, along with the sniper who had just fired, were reduced to mangled remains and blood mist before they realized what was happening.

Zhang Yi frowned.

"Why are the superhumans appearing here so weak? Those below captain level aren't even fit to be cat food."

Savendra had originally devised a combat plan to capture that superhuman.

However, the abrupt and brutal deaths of his comrades made his pupils contract sharply.

Instant kills!

That sniper killed people around him more easily than slaughtering chickens!

"Could it be... I was wrong? The one they sent to hunt us is a top-tier superhuman!"

Before his murmur faded, that familiar sound of something cutting through air came again, then pierced through his chest.

Savendra looked down at his chest, where a large hole now existed.

But the next moment, a smug smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Such a pity. Attacks like these are completely ineffective against me."

No blood flowed from the massive cavity in his chest.

Because his body was gradually transforming into white mist.

Kenan Savendra, ability [Smoke], codename [Sea Husband], special-type superhuman.

His body had been pierced, yet it caused him no harm whatsoever.

Savendra let out a "ge ge ge" laugh. "A sniper encountering me is your greatest misfortune!"

He laughed wildly, his voice growing louder and spreading through the toxic miasma.

His body rapidly transformed into smoke, hiding within the dense toxic miasma.

Zhang Yi sensed all of this and raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Another interesting special-type ability user!"

Among all superhumans, if enhancement-types were the simplest and most brutal existence, then special-types were the most elusive and unpredictable.

Because their abilities were fundamentally impossible to guess or comprehend.

Hua Hua had already transformed, with it and Lele watching their surroundings from left and right.

They knew the enemy who had turned into smoke could attack from any direction at any moment.

Zhang Yi leisurely raised his sniper rifle.

"Let's clear the field first!"

Several more Origin Bullets shot out, and three Malayan superhumans fell to the ground.

Low-level superhumans were practically indistinguishable from ordinary people on such a battlefield, not even qualified to be cannon fodder.

However, Savendra was no cannon fodder.

Hua Hua suddenly let out a sharp cry, turning its head and firing an atomic breath that tore through space!

An eerie laughter echoed through the air.

Savendra's figure slowly materialized mid-air, though it was formed by smoke.

Hua Hua's attack had no effect on him whatsoever.

"Special-type superhumans can immune to physical attacks, is that it?"

Zhang Yi remained unflustered, firing three Sacred Silver bullets from White Owl with a backhand motion!

The bullets cut through the smoke, merely dispersing it, while the smile remained on Savendra's face.

"Even Sacred Silver bullets don't work?"

Zhang Yi murmured to himself.

As his attack ceased, Savendra's assault began.

He casually tossed his right hand forward, sending dozens of smoke balls flying toward Zhang Yi, Hua Hua, and Lele.

As these smoke balls left his palm, they rapidly transformed from white smoke into actual grenades!

"Boom!!!"

The entire floor where Zhang Yi stood had its windows instantly shattered, flying everywhere, while the thick concrete pillars began to crack.

Zhang Yi casually waved his hand, and the smoke cleared.

All the explosive force had been completely absorbed by him.

Then he lightly pointed his right hand forward, returning all the power to Savendra!

However, he only succeeded in dispersing the smoke.

Soon, Savendra's laughter echoed around them again.

"Ge ge ge ge ge~"

"Useless, you can't kill me, you can't kill me!"

His head emerged from the toxic miasma again, his large hooked nose giving off an extremely sinister feeling.

His eyes were equally treacherous.

"Then let me kill you slowly!"

Savendra's ability wasn't particularly powerful.

But on Mist Island, this sky-blotting toxic miasma provided his perfect operating environment.

So much so that even when facing powerful captain-level superhumans, he could maintain battlefield initiative!

"Pop!" "Pop!" "Pop!" "Pop!" "Pop!"

Within the toxic miasma, clusters of smoke transformed into human shapes.

Soon, a hundred-strong army of smoke soldiers surrounded Zhang Yi, Hua Hua, and Lele.

They held weapons materialized from smoke—firearms, rocket launchers, and grenades.

Then they began bombarding Zhang Yi's group with overwhelming firepower!

What had been smoke and mist instantly transformed into real weapons as they approached Zhang Yi's group.

Zhang Yi immediately realized that one of his opponent's abilities was materializing mist into genuinely lethal weapons!

"Though it looks intimidating, the power is nothing special!"

Zhang Yi directly deployed the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms, absorbing all the energy released by the weapons.

"In principle, it's still your own supernatural energy, just presented in a different attack method. All flashy showmanship without any real substance!"

Zhang Yi coldly laughed.
