"Kill myself?"
The cloaked man looked at Ling You with a faint smile. He didn't seem to be afraid of Ling You's wrath at all.
"You're a smart person. You should know why I'm here. Hand over Qi Yuan!"
Ling You's eyes flashed with lightning, and it looked as if she was about to go berserk. Anyone who was familiar with her would know that this was a sign that Ling You was about to go berserk.
"Leader Ling You!"
The Thunder Scorpion Hunters had already left to hunt. The Wolf's Teeth Hunt members who had stayed behind to guard the area quickly ran over. Luan ran over to Zhui after seeing him lying on the ground and pulled him into her arms.
Zhui had already returned to his human form. The powerful life force of a Rank 3 Combat Domain allowed him to hang on to his last breath.
"Epiphyllum Potion!" Luan said in a trembling voice.
Xiao Hei immediately took out a vial of Epiphyllum Potion and injected it into Zhui's body through his arm.
Zhui's heartbeat was getting weaker and weaker as he lay unconscious. Finally, it calmed down.
Luan held the unconscious Zhui in her arms and glared at the cloaked man fiercely. She looked like a tigress about to devour her prey.
"Take Zhui away first. I'll think of a way to treat his injuries," Ling You said in a low voice.
Luan nodded. Chestnut had already found a stretcher and placed Zhui on it with a broken neck.
Although the Epiphyllum Potion could keep Zhui alive, he would have to go to the Black Steel Shelter to heal his injuries. The Iron Chariots didn't have the means to do so.
After Luan left with Zhui, Ling You said in a cold voice, "I don't care who you are.
I don't care what you're doing in the Iron Chariots. You've touched my people, so you must die! "
The cloaked man narrowed his eyes and sized up Ling You.
"Kill me?
You think you can? "
The caped man's tone was a little disdainful. As a Wasteland Hunter, he was chosen not because of his B- Hunter Authority, but because of his strength.
After roaming the wilderness for so many years, he had fought many enemies. Be it the Elite Insectoids, the Heart Eaters, the Walker Level Mechanics, the Glory Level Ability Users, or even the Blood Level Genetic Warriors, he had fought them all.
None of the enemies that he had fought before were weaker than the Ling You in front of him.
"Xu Yue thought so too. His corpse is still hanging on the city wall outside." Ling You's eyes were as sharp as knives.
After being in charge of the Iron Chariots for so many years, Ling You had encountered many challenges from powerful enemies. In the end, they had all turned into corpses.
The cloaked man in front of him was the same!
"The remnants of the Xu family have already been killed. How much strength can Xu Yue still have? I'm not a piece of trash like him!"
The cloaked man sneered. He didn't believe that Ling You could kill Xu Yue at full strength. If Xu Yue was the kind of trash that didn't have a core Tier 4 ability, then so be it. However, as a member of the Xu family, Xu Yue must have a core Tier 4 ability. Even if Xu Yue was weaker than Ling You, the difference wouldn't be too great.
Although Ling You's energy transformation just now showed that she had a Tier 4 core Elemental Domain ability, she might be able to kill those trash Tier 4 abilities. However, it was far from enough to kill Xu Yue, who also had a Tier 4 core ability.
As a Glory Ability User with a Tier 4 core ability, even if Xu Yue couldn't defeat Ling You, it wouldn't be a problem for him to escape. The reason he died at Ling You's hands must be because of other reasons.
He also had a Tier 4 core ability. Let alone a novice Tier 4 ability user like Ling You, even a veteran Tier 4 ability user wouldn't be able to kill him.
Ling You still didn't say anything. She only looked at him coldly. The atmosphere became more and more oppressive.
Seeing that Ling You's aura was becoming more and more dangerous, the cloaked man's expression became serious. He began to realize that Ling You really did want to kill him.
"Are you crazy? You actually want to fight me for a Tier 3 ability!" The cloaked man said angrily.
Ling You only looked at him coldly.
"Go out and fight. If you win, I won't care what you do in the Iron Chariots!
If you lose, leave your life behind!
Don't think about using the person behind you to scare me. I don't care if it's Feng Qian or Ke Shoulin behind you. You can't stop me from killing! "
This lunatic!
The cloaked man cursed silently. Ling You wasn't afraid of Feng Qian or Ke Shoulin. In his eyes, she was just spouting nonsense. A Tier 4 leader of a gathering point was like an ant facing a giant in front of those two.
But the problem was that he didn't dare to say that person's name in this kind of situation.
He originally thought that as long as he gave a slight hint, Ling You would give in. He never thought that Ling You would be so unyielding, wanting to fight to the death just because of a disagreement.
The cloaked man began to regret using such a heavy hand on Ling You. In the wilderness, human life was the most worthless thing. That was why he used such a heavy hand to show Ling You his strength.
But if he knew that Ling You would fall out with him because of a Tier 3 ability user, he wouldn't have killed Ling You.
Now that Ling You's face was as cold as a knife, the cloaked man couldn't back down. If he left now, Ling You naturally wouldn't be able to stop him. But leaving meant that the mission had failed, and the person behind him would definitely be angry.
The cloaked man would rather fight to the death with Ling You than face the wrath of that person.
"Ling You, if we fight, I won't hold back!" the cloaked man said.
"It's a matter of victory and defeat, but it's also a matter of life and death!" Ling You said directly.
The cloaked man felt a chill in his heart. He wasn't afraid of fighting with Ling You, but he didn't want to fight to the death with an opponent with a Tier 4 core ability because of a Tier 3 ability user.
If he knew that Ling You was so unreasonable, he would have snuck in secretly, killed Qi Yuan, and then secretly left. Even if doing so would make Ling You angry, it wouldn't matter. At worst, he wouldn't come to the Iron Chariots anymore. At least he wouldn't have to fight to the death with Ling You.
However, since things had already reached this point, other than fighting to the death with Ling You, the cloaked man had no other choice.
"Let's go outside and fight!"
After saying this, Ling You directly turned into a streak of lightning and flew into the wilderness. If two Tier 4 ability users fought here, the destructive energy would be enough to destroy the entire Iron Chariots.
Seeing the streak of lightning disappear into the distance, the cloaked man coldly snorted and followed after her.
Ling You didn't want to destroy the Iron Chariots, and he didn't dare to do so either. If the Iron Chariots were destroyed because of their fight, what they would have to face next might be the Black Steel Shelter's Danger Management Department.
After the two of them left, a few hunters who had witnessed the entire process quietly came over.
"Another Tier 4 came to die?"
"Not necessarily. Xu Yue's corpse is still hanging on the outer wall. Since he dared to come here, he definitely has enough confidence."
"What's going on recently? These Tier 4 ability users were rarely seen before. Why are they running to the Iron Chariots one after another?" Someone asked in confusion.
"I actually know a bit about this!" An ability user with a small beard stroked his beard and said in a low voice.
Another hunter who recognized the small beard immediately came over after hearing this.
"Ghost Ear, did you hear their conversation?"
"I really did hear a bit!"
Ghost Ear was a bit proud. His Perception Domain ability didn't have much use in a frontal battle, but it was extremely sensitive to sound. Being able to hear the conversation between two Tier 4 ability users this time was also a pleasant surprise.
Although Ling You and the cloaked man didn't deliberately lower their voices, because no one dared to come close, no one else heard it. Only Ghost Ear relied on his unique Perception Domain ability to hear some of the information.
"That cloaked man seems to have come to the Iron Chariots to make Leader Ling You hand over Qi Yuan. Chi was just bumped into the muzzle of a gun!"
"Qi Yuan?" The other Wastelanders were clearly surprised.
"Although Qi Yuan is strong, it's not to the extent of provoking a Tier 4 enemy, right?" Someone said in disbelief.
"That's not necessarily true." A hunter shook his head.
"Qi Yuan is a big killer. How long has it been since he came to the Iron Chariots? Many people have already died at his hands, including Venom and Chi, who are both at the pinnacle of Tier 3. I'm not surprised that he provoked a Tier 4 enemy."
"Heh, this time it was Fang who blocked a disaster for Qi Yuan. If that cloaked man hadn't injured Chi, Leader Ling You might not have fought a Tier 4 for Qi Yuan!"
"That's not necessarily true!" An older hunter shook his head.
"You guys haven't been in the Iron Chariots for long, so you don't understand Ling You's style. Even if this incident didn't happen, Ling You still wouldn't have let the cloaked man take Qi Yuan away, unless he could secretly take him away without alerting Ling You!"
"You're saying that Ling You would fight a Tier 4 for Qi Yuan?
What's she after? "Someone asked.
"That's where you don't understand!" The older hunter smiled.
"This is the responsibility of a leader. The Iron Chariots is backed by the Black Steel Shelter. If any powerful hunter can make Ling You bow her head, she won't be able to stay in her position for long."
"Actually, it's not just the Iron Chariots. The leaders of the other shelters are the same. If they bow their heads to someone else, not only will they lose face, but they'll also lose face for the Black Steel Shelter. The higher-ups can change the leader at any time."
"This cloaked man also has a background!" Ghost Ear suddenly said.
Several people turned to look at Ghost Ear, as if they wanted to know the background of this cloaked man.
"I can't say much about this." Ghost Ear laughed dryly, not mentioning the two names he heard.
Chatting casually wouldn't cause any trouble, but if it involved a big shot in the shelter, it would be easy to get into trouble.
Ghost Ear obviously knew this, so he didn't cross this red line.
"I can only say that this cloaked man should be a black glove of some big shot in the Black Steel Shelter. Leader Ling You seems to have guessed it, but she doesn't seem to care at all!"
"That's a little strange. If Ling You knows that this cloaked man is a black glove of some big shot in the shelter, why is she still so stubborn? Isn't she worried about being angered?"
"The thoughts of these big shots aren't something we can guess. But I really want to know if Leader Ling You can beat this cloaked man."
"Don't doubt it!
Leader Ling You has never lost before. She'll definitely win! "
…
In the wilderness.
Azure lightning flashed back and forth. The cloak on the cloaked man's body had already dissipated. His upper body was bare, revealing his bronze-colored skin. His firm muscles looked like they were made of steel.
The blue lightning in Ling You's hands came and went like a ghost, striking the cloaked man's body again and again. However, it only left charred marks on his body, unable to seriously injure him.
The man counterattacked several times, destroying the lightning that attacked him, but he still couldn't find Ling You's real body.
Ling You hid in the lightning, coming and going without a trace. As long as he couldn't keep up with Ling You's speed, Ling You was in an invincible position.
"Bring out your full strength, don't tickle me!" the man shouted.
A powerful force of Qi and Blood suddenly burst forth, directly crushing the oncoming thunderbolt.
Lightning flashed in the sky, and Ling You looked at the naked man with a serious gaze.
It was actually a defensive core rank 4 ability!
Although Xu Yue was strong before, under the bombardment of lightning, he would be battered and exhausted. His defense was far weaker than the person in front of him.
This person was actually able to take his attack with his body and come out unscathed!
This defensive strength was enough to ignore the attacks of many rank 4 abilities.
Ling You's eyes flashed, and a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm suddenly fell from the sky, crashing down on the man's head.
"Just so-so!"
The man shouted, clenching his right hand into a fist, and facing the descending lightning, he suddenly punched at the void.
An extremely powerful force condensed and instantly pierced through the void. Before the fist could even touch the descending lightning, the powerful force had already shattered the azure lightning.
Boom!
The descending lightning dissipated, turning into fine lightning snakes that danced in the sky. The man bathed in the lightning snakes, and his aura instantly climbed to the peak.
"Found you!"
The man's gaze locked onto a certain place in front of him. His figure swayed, leaving behind afterimages on the ground. His entire body was like a cannonball, charging out with a loud bang.
"Roar!"
The man let out a roar, and the void instantly froze. The blue lightning scattered in front of him seemed to be annihilated by his roar, revealing an empty area without any lightning flowing through it.
The man's charge was unparalleled, and Ling You's figure, which had been submerged in the lightning, was forced to appear.
Faced with the sudden attack of the man, Ling You showed no fear. Instead, she opened her arms and looked up at the sky.
Rumble!
A low rumble of thunder came from the void, and a terrifying bolt of lightning, which was over a meter in diameter and completely different from the lightning from before, crashed down on Ling You.
The man also sensed the destructive intent in the lightning, and at the same time, he judged the situation.
The lightning came too quickly. The moment he struck Ling You, he would definitely be struck by the destructive lightning as well.
Even if both of us end up injured, what do I have to fear?!
With his powerful defense, apart from the Heart Eaters, the man was not afraid of trading injury for injury, or even trading his life for his opponent's!
The man roared from the depths of his throat, unwilling to give up on this opportunity to attack. Without hesitation, he charged into the range of the destructive lightning and threw a punch at Ling You.
