9: Fierce fighting

However, the next second, Li An's smile vanished, because although one Hunter had been killed by him, the number of Hunters in the corridor at this moment was far more than just one.

Heavy panting sounds rose, and it was unknown what kind of battle was raging outside, but at this moment, the power in the hospital also became unstable, and the lights in the corridor flickered on and off.

Bang!

As the light and darkness alternated, a giant claw struck where Li An had previously stood, but Li An had vanished from his spot again the second before, causing the sneak attacking Hunter's strike to miss. When Li An reappeared, he was already behind the sneak attacking Hunter. A sharp blade tip, moving from bottom to top, instantly pierced through the Hunter's back, then through its throat, and into its head.

【Infected · Hunter】

Level: lv.4

Health: 1300

Strength: 47 (Attack Power)

Agility: 44 (Attack Speed, Movement Speed)

Stamina: 44 (Recovery, Defense)

Intelligence: 6 (Mental Power)

Abilities: Predation lv.8, Infection Spread lv.8

1. [Passive · Predation lv.8: Hunters can prey on other organisms, including humans and other mutated organisms.]

2. [Passive · Infection Spread lv.8: Hunters, as a vector for the virus, can further infect other organisms and have a chance to evolve into a mutant.]

Note: This creature's attacks are infectious; be careful of being wounded by it... While acting, the information of this Hunter was also detected by Li An. As the sharp blade pierced its head, even though this Hunter's health was as high as 1300 points, it still couldn't withstand this terrifying blow. After all, this was a fatal blow. The Hunter's health immediately plummeted, eventually falling to 21 points.

This was due to the blacklight virus within the Hunter's body, giving it extremely strong recovery. However, when facing Li An, who also possessed the blacklight virus, this recovery was greatly reduced. After suffering such a fatal blow, the Hunter instantly lost all resistance.

The next second, Li An pulled out his blade, and the now defenseless Hunter immediately fell powerlessly to the ground. Li An then extended both hands again, activating Absolute Devour once more!

Watching the Hunter gradually being devoured, the expression in Li An's eyes grew colder and more indifferent. This was the benefit of increased power, allowing him to instantly put targets with over a thousand health into a dying state, thus directly losing all resistance, as long as his attacks were accurate!

Similarly, Li An also noticed this fatal problem, understanding that he couldn't expose his weaknesses to others, allowing enemies to deliver a one-hit kill.

Although this was a game world, Li An was currently in a living, real world. His every attack did not directly cause fixed damage, as Death Paradise had indicated.

【Note: Semi-datafication only allows Contractors to more intuitively understand their physical attributes. If vital organs suffer severe damage, they will immediately enter a dying state!】

Evidently, Li An remembered this sentence vividly.

And as a boxing champion in the unrestricted fighting underground world, he also knew very well which parts to attack to instantly incapacitate an enemy.

Gulp!

Another drop of liquid, transformed from a Hunter, was swallowed by Li An, and his strength increased by a few more points.

But he had no time to be happy at all, because after swiftly dealing with another Hunter, he was now surrounded by three Hunters.

Crack, crack, crack!

The three Hunters encircled Li An, their huge claws scraping against the wall tiles, leaving deep claw marks. Hunters' eyes cannot see things clearly, so they rely more on smell and hearing for movement. But even so, supported by the blacklight virus, their movements were no different from ordinary people.

Roar!

Accompanied by almost simultaneous roars, the three Hunters, forming a pincer attack, lunged at Li An. Their huge claws emitted a sharp, cold glint at this moment, and the Hunters opened their gaping maws, ready to swallow Li An whole.

However, facing this almost inescapable scene, Li An's face showed no trace of panic; in fact, he even laughed out loud at this moment, though his smile grew increasingly cold.

“Absolute Barrier!”

In an instant, Li An whispered, his head bowed. When the three Hunters were less than half a meter from Li An, a translucent barrier suddenly appeared in front of Li An, enveloping his body.

Bang, bang, bang!

The three unsuspecting Hunters had never anticipated this scene. They immediately crashed into the barrier in front of them, and then instantly flew backward.

Bang!

The next second, the Absolute Barrier shattered. This thing could only last for one second, but it was enough for Li An to evade the attacks of the three Hunters. At the same moment the barrier shattered, Li An also moved. He charged directly towards the nearest Hunter.

Crack, crack, crack!

The ground instantly shattered. At this moment, Li An was like a fierce beast, pouncing directly at his target. The glint of the sharp blade reflected on Li An's face, arcing through the air, and then directly striking the Hunter's waist. A roar immediately erupted, and the target Hunter was cleaved by a single strike into an adjacent room.

Having sent the Hunter flying with one blow, Li An's movements did not stop for a moment. There were still two Hunters left. Seeing that they were about to crash to the ground, Li An immediately leaped up. His left hand, along with his right arm blade, simultaneously transformed into heavy hammers at this moment, and he slammed them down from mid-air onto the heads of the remaining two Hunters.

Bang! Bang!

Li An's attack power, while in the air, immediately increased by another 20%. The two Hunters, having just landed, had their heads struck by the heavy hammers. Their heads then slammed into the smooth floor. In the face of the powerful impact and penetration effects of Death Leap Kill, the Hunters had no power to resist, directly cracking the ground in a spiderweb pattern.

Splat!

With a successful strike, Li An's left hand immediately reverted from its heavy hammer form, while his right hand once again transformed into a sharp blade. Taking advantage of the two Hunters' brief stun, Li An extended his left hand, grabbed one Hunter, and plunged the sharp blade of his right hand into its heart. Without hesitation, after confirming he had pierced the Hunter's heart, Li An pulled out the blade and aimed for the heart of the remaining Hunter, stabbing it.

Splat!

As the sharp blade entered their bodies, these two Hunters were finally dealt with. However, Li An's movements still didn't stop. The violent commotion coming from the adjacent room made him realize that the Hunter he had sent flying was not dead and was still causing trouble.

Boom!

Li An kicked open the door to the adjacent room. As the door flew inward, Li An followed closely behind, immediately pinpointing the Hunter's location.

Roar!

The flying door did not obscure the Hunter's senses. The moment Li An entered the room, the Hunter detected his presence, immediately let out a roar, and then swung its claws to strike. It intended to attack both the door and Li An simultaneously!

“Die!!!”

However, Li An, who was behind the door, seemed to have anticipated the Hunter's attack. He immediately forced himself to stop amidst a furious roar, and at the same time, clenched his left hand into a fist, striking the door in front of him.

Bang!

The claw and the fist immediately collided, but before the recoil from the collision could fully erupt, Li An's sharp blade thrust straight forward, almost instantly piercing directly through the Hunter's head, causing it to freeze in place.
