814: Chapter 814 Should we pursue it?

Yan Qingwu followed Ye Chen's gaze.

In the crowd, a white man in a trench coat, who had been huddled among the people, suddenly straightened his body.

Then, he exploded with lightning-fast speed in an instant.

Not only did lightning flicker around him, but he also surged toward the masked leader.

"Hey, buddy."

"I've been waiting here for you for a long time. Only showing up now?"

Boom!!!

A bolt of purple lightning exploded on the ground.

The white man's figure abruptly vanished.

The next moment, he appeared behind the masked leader.

Then, with purple arcs of electricity coiling around his right arm, he smashed a fist toward the back of the other's head.

The masked leader seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; he tilted his head, and the white man's fist grazed his ear, striking the pillar behind him.

"Crackle~"

The stone pillar was blasted into a charred crack by the electric arc, sending sparks flying everywhere.

But the masked leader didn't stop. He shifted his feet half a step sideways, pulled a short gun from his waist with a backhand motion, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bullet after bullet shot out.

The bullets were wrapped in True Qi, carving lines through the air.

The white man grinned, lowered his body, and transformed into lightning. He slid along the ground as the bullets flew over his head.

"Bullets? Is this your trump card?"

Before he finished speaking, he had already circled to the side of the masked leader, firing three arcs of electricity from his fingertips, aiming straight for the opponent's waist and abdomen.

The masked leader held the short gun horizontally in front of him to block.

Bang!

The electric arc hit the gun body, bursting into a dazzling cluster of sparks.

The masked leader was forced to slide back several steps by the impact, his boot soles leaving two dusty scratches on the ground.

The white man straightened his body, a look of disdain appearing on his face.

"With just these tricks, you dare to come and rob?"

"Are you Cat Men all this useless?"

Upon hearing this, the masked leader laughed grimly.

"Heh... hehe..."

"Nothing more than this?"

He then raised his head, and his eyes began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye...

The originally normal pupils gradually transformed into a pair of vertical slits.

Subsequently, he raised his hand and dug into the skin of his neck.

Then...

"Rip!"

A thin layer of human skin was torn off his face, revealing the true appearance underneath.

It was a face covered in short black fur.

He opened his mouth, revealing four canine teeth, and licked his upper palate with his tongue.

"Are you sure..."

"...that it's nothing more than this?"

Yan Qingwu's pupils contracted suddenly: "Cat... Cat Men? They actually exist?"

"Cat Men?" Ye Chen was curious.

Yan Qingwu nodded.

"There have been legends about Cat Men circulating in this country."

"It is rumored that they are all cursed people who love blood and can disguise themselves as normal humans."

"And once they reveal their true appearance, their strength will double..."

Ye Chen suddenly realized: "Doesn't that make them equivalent to werewolves and vampires?"

"That's right, but this race is more perverted."

Yan Qingwu stared at that Cat Man with a vigilant expression. "They are very cruel and specifically attack women and solitary young girls."

"Hm?"

Ye Chen was speechless. "Isn't that comparable to Shuten-doji of Wa country?"

"But this was just a legend; I didn't expect them to really exist." Yan Qingwu looked disgusted.

Ye Chen smiled: "Vampires and werewolves were also just legends, but don't they exist in reality too?"

At this moment, in the arena, after the Cat Man tore off his disguise, it was as if he had changed his entire skeleton.

His figure shot up by half a foot, his shoulders and back bulged, and the nails on his ten fingers visibly grew longer and turned black.

The smile on the white Ability User's face faded a bit, but he still wouldn't hold his tongue.

"Yo, you even have a transformation? Are you Cat Men all this flashy?"

The Cat Man did not reply.

The next second, his figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.

That speed was more than twice as fast as before!

Only an afterimage was left in the air, and even the sound of breaking wind was left behind.

The white Ability User's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously dodged to the side.

But he was half a beat too late.

"Rip!"

Three claw marks slashed from his left shoulder all the way to his waist.

His trench coat was torn open, and the tactical vest underneath was ripped with three gashes.

The white Ability User let out a muffled grunt and retreated several steps.

He seized the opportunity to flick an electric arc with his right hand, directly forcing back the Cat Man's momentum.

The electric arc struck at the Cat Man's feet, blasting a scorched mark, but the Cat Man had already jumped away in advance.

Like a true predator, he landed on all fours, crouching on the security checkpoint rack five meters away.

Then, his vertical pupils greedily stared at the Ability User's neck, as if looking at a piece of choice meat...

The white Ability User covered his wound, no longer smiling or joking, but instead looking solemn.

"Such fast claws."

The Cat Man grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

"Your lightning, it seems, is not as fast as my speed."

"Nothing more than this."

Before the words fell, he moved again.

This time, he didn't test the waters; his first move was a killing blow.

His claws crossed to slash out six arcs, wrapped in True Qi, weaving a net in mid-air that descended to cover the white Ability User's head.

The white Ability User dared not be slow.

He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and purple electric arcs surged from his entire body, solidifying into a screen of electric light in front of him.

"Boom!"

The claw wind collided with the lightning screen, blasting out a ring of air waves.

The people around fell and rolled away one after another.

Suitcases in the vicinity were sent flying one by one.

But the electric screen held.

The white Ability User gritted his teeth, veins popping on his arms, and pushed the barrier forward.

"Get back!"

The purple electric arcs surged violently, and the Cat Man was shaken backward, flipping twice in mid-air before landing on the escalator handrail.

However, his limbs gripped it firmly, and he looked down at the area below from a high vantage point.

The two stared at each other from a dozen meters away, neither rushing to make a move.

But the passengers around them had completely panicked.

"My god... what on earth is that thing?"

"A monster! That's a monster!"

"Call the police! Run!"

...

The crowd was like ants in a disturbed nest, swarming desperately toward the exit of the departure hall.

But the robbers all around began to fire their guns wildly, causing total chaos in the hall.

The security guards shrank into the corners, not daring to step forward at all.

They had only undergone basic training; where would they have ever seen such a scene?

Those two "people" fighting could even overturn the self-service ticket machines; if they went up, they would just be throwing their lives away.

Watching this scene, the white Ability User's face darkened, and he roared: "Fuck! I will definitely catch you!!!"

As the words fell, he slammed his palms together.

"Boom!"

A purple lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket descended from the sky, striking the escalator where the Cat Man was crouching.

The entire escalator was blasted into several pieces; not only was it covered in scorch marks, but the broken edges were even curled by the electricity...

But the Cat Man had already jumped away the moment before the lightning bolt descended.

However, the shockwave from the lightning explosion still threw his body off balance, and he flipped twice in mid-air before landing.

This time, he didn't stand steady upon landing, and his knee hit the ground.

The white Ability User seized the opportunity, pushed off the ground, and charged out wrapped in electric arcs, his right fist carrying a sheet of lightning, aiming straight for the Cat Man's face.

Just as the white Ability User's fist was about to smash into the Cat Man's face...

Suddenly, the Cat Man gave an eerie smile, and his body twisted at an impossible angle.

Then, his entire body slid across the floor as if he had no bones.

The lightning fist smashed into the floor, blasting out a charred crater, sending ceramic tile fragments flying everywhere.

The Cat Man had already appeared behind him, a playful glimmer flashing in his vertical pupils.

"Too slow."

The moment the words fell, his three claws whistled through the air, slashing from behind toward the back of the white Ability User's neck.

The white Ability User's expression changed drastically; he lunged forward, while simultaneously flicking a wall of electric arcs backward with his right hand, hoping to force back the pursuit.

But the Cat Man was faster than him.

The sharp claws grazed the back of his head, followed immediately by a knee strike that slammed into the white Ability User's lower back.

"Ugh!"

The white Ability User grunted, stumbling forward and nearly falling.

He stabilized his body at the limit, turned around, and slashed out a lightning whip toward the Cat Man.

But the Cat Man dodged again.

"You Ability User are just stubborn."

The Cat Man licked the blood off his claws.

"Always just shooting lightning and fire, no originality at all."

"You talk too much."

The white Ability User gritted his teeth, slammed his palms together again, and the purple lightning began to surge wildly.

But just as he was about to strike, the glass curtain wall on the east side of the departure hall suddenly exploded, and countless fragments poured into the hall like hail.

Immediately after...

Seven or eight figures crashed in from outside the curtain wall.

Each one's movements were so agile they didn't seem human.

They wore the same black clothes and the same black cloth masks, revealing only their pupils.

And those pupils, like the Cat Man leader's, were all vertical slits.

"Boss, time's up," one of them said.

"There are already Ability User surrounding the outside; it's time to withdraw."

The Cat Man leader glanced at the white Ability User.

"Consider yourself lucky."

The white Ability User did not answer, only glaring angrily at this group of suddenly appearing Cat Men, the lightning gathered in his hands not weakening in the slightest.

But he knew clearly in his heart that there were seven or eight people opposite him, and their auras were no weaker than this Cat Man leader before him; he couldn't stop them alone.

The Cat Man leader looked at him no more, turned around, and fled together with that group of black-clad figures.

The robbers who were firing all around also retreated in that direction one by one.

Soon, they disappeared.

The white Ability User stood in place, clutching his wound, panting heavily.

He gazed in the direction where the Cat Men had disappeared, his face so gloomy it could drip water, but in the end, he did not pursue them.

The security guards only then dared to poke their heads out from the corners and subsequently began to organize the evacuation of the remaining passengers.

Yan Qingwu withdrew her gaze and asked: "Shall we pursue?"
