NOVEL NEXT Chapter 472: Launched the Attack
Previously, Ye Xuan's level was not as high as Shadow's, but having eliminated the mutants at the rescue station, Ye Xuan is now utterly capable of overpowering Shadow.
"King's Card, I want to take away Shadow's Doppelganger Skill Spiritual Power."
Ye Xuan stared at Shadow in front of him and started the extraction once more.
[Ding Dong! You have used the King's Card to take Shadow's Doppelganger Skill Spiritual Power!]
[The King's Card now possesses the following Skills Spiritual Power: Ignition, Gathering, Linear Kill, Upgrade, Strength, Card Reading, Doppelganger!]
After the new notification appeared in Ye Xuan's game interface, the three doppelgangers of Shadow in front of him disappeared, leaving only one Shadow.
"How can this be, Shadow he..." Li Hui began to speak but then suddenly realized what had happened and turned to look at Ye Xuan beside him.
It was Ye Xuan's doing.
"You..." Shadow lifted his eyes, and his gaze fell back onto Ye Xuan.
Just moments ago, Shadow's eyes were filled with contempt, but now, when he looked at Ye Xuan again, his eyes brimmed with a light of horror.
"Impossible..." Shadow covered his own head, struggling to accept the reality before him.
"You're not a beta tester, how could you have Grade-A, and your card, no, it can't be..." Shadow stepped back twice, as if gone mad, frantically shouting "Doppelganger," but Shadow could not split into any doppelgangers anymore.
He had lost the doppelganger skill.
Night Charm quickly seized the out-of-control Shadow, looked at Shadow, and asked, "What's going on?"
"No... impossible..." Shadow shook his head, his face in agony.
Ye Xuan watched the two of them, snapped his fingers, and then three Ye Xuans appeared behind him.
Night Charm's eyes also revealed surprise when she saw the three Ye Xuans behind Ye Xuan.
"Is your skill to take away our Spiritual Power?" Night Charm stared at Ye Xuan for a while before she slowly spoke.
"More or less." Ye Xuan said, "No need to waste time now, let's settle you two first."
As he spoke, Ye Xuan signaled his own doppelgangers, and then Ye Xuan's doppelgangers charged toward the front. Night Charm quickly moved in front of Shadow, engaging in combat with Ye Xuan's doppelgangers.
"Shadow, stand up. Without your Spiritual Power, are you completely useless?" Night Charm then continued.
Shadow heard Night Charm's words and clenched his teeth hard.
"If you think you're worthless, then don't bother standing up. It seems I misjudged you during the beta," Night Charm said while nimbly moving through Ye Xuan's three doppelgangers.
Indeed, Night Charm was not as strong as Shadow in battle, but due to her Skill Spiritual Power, her level and everything else were strong, granting her impressive speed and strength.
However, Ye Xuan still felt he had a chance at victory.
"I'm joining in too." Tang Xuerou said, gripping the saw in her hand as she charged forward, quickly joining the battle between Ye Xuan and Night Charm.
With Tang Xuerou's intervention, Night Charm was forced to retreat by the duo.
"I am not worthless." Shadow leapt up again, with steel marbles in his hand striking towards Ye Xuan's doppelgangers and Tang Xuerou.
Seeing the shadow rise once again, He Yalan wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and, after composing herself, joined the battle alongside Ye Xuan.
Li Hui also raised his bow and arrow, starting to attack the shadow and Ye Mei.
Just as the group was pushing the shadow and Ye Mei to the brink of being unable to fight back, another group of people burst into the lab.
They were mutants.
A flicker of light trembled in Ye Xuan's eyes as he glared at the intruding mutants, his anger rekindling once again.
Because these mutants were not ordinary - the leader of the mutants was actually the Forest Brigade's commander.
Behind him were Zhou Shan and others, as well as some other mutants. Being members of a special operations team, they were already strong, but as mutants, their abilities had increased significantly.
"Commander..." He Yalan looked at the group of intruding mutants, her complexion turning extremely unsightly.
"How could this happen?" Li Hui gazed at the mutants, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"It seems, after we left, Ye Mei went to the rescue station," Ye Xuan said, his hands releasing strands of silk threads once again.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, a smile spread across Ye Mei's face: "You're not a beta tester, but you have a powerful king card, and such strength... Who on earth are you?"
"I have no obligation to answer your questions," Ye Xuan said coldly, his silk threads trying to entangle Ye Mei's hands.
But the Forest Brigade's commander abruptly leapt out, blocking Ye Xuan's silk threads.
"Commander?" Ye Xuan, looking at the commander blocking Ye Mei, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"I've regained consciousness, but I can't control my actions, I..." The Forest Brigade's commander didn't finish his sentence before raising his sword and slashing it towards Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan swiftly dodged to the side. The Forest Brigade's commander wanted to convey something to Ye Xuan, but Ye Mei was controlling his actions, leaving him unable to express his own thoughts.
"Commander, you don't need to say anything, I understand," Ye Xuan said, as his silk threads bypassed the commander to strike at Ye Mei behind him.
However, all attacks that Ye Xuan and his avatar launched against Ye Mei were blocked by the mutants in front.
"Infinite defense," Ye Mei said with a slight smile, watching Ye Xuan.
"You like that guy?" Shadow looked at Tang Xuerou, revealing a cold sneer.
"So now you're recruiting me because you like me?" Tang Xuerou retorted, running her hand over her arm.
The injury Shadow had inflicted on her left arm healed miraculously at that moment, and the 10 points of health she had lost were gradually recovering.
But Shadow's condition was not so good; he was being dominated by Tang Xuerou, with only half of his health bar remaining.
"You're still as annoying as ever when you speak," Shadow said through clenched teeth.
"Yeah, I see you're still just as unlikable as before," Tang Xuerou replied, gripping her saw tighter and launching another attack at Shadow.
Shadow dodged Tang Xuerou's attack, and the steel balls returned to his hand: "Tang Xuerou, you understand that even if you can defeat me and Ye Mei today, many things can't be stopped, and there's that person..."
"I know," Tang Xuerou continued her assault, her hands not slowing down for even a second because of Shadow's words.
"Knowing yet you still strike at us," Shadow spoke, only to be wounded in the abdomen by Tang Xuerou's saw, fresh blood flowing out once more.
