82: Chapter 82 One-on-One

Shen Jiaojiao made the first move, Thunder Light pouring from her fingertips as arcs of lightning whistled through the air, heading straight for Heisha!

As expected, Heisha grasped the air with his left hand, and a Vacuum Field instantly formed, precisely enveloping Shen Jiaojiao.

The girl's body stiffened abruptly once again; her Lightning Ability was instantly interrupted, and she was completely frozen in place.

But at this moment, Heisha's left hand was completely occupied!

With only his right hand left to channel his Superpower, he immediately raised it, attempting to suppress the giant beast charging at him head-on.

This is the moment!

Chen Ye seized this fleeting opening, using the giant beast's massive body as perfect cover, and with a burst of speed from his footwork, he silently flashed right in front of Heisha!

His right hand gripped a short blade wreathed in Thunder Light, and utilizing the massive momentum of his charge,

even though there was a Vacuum Field around him, the blade slashed fiercely across Heisha's arm!

"Rip!"

The sharp blade instantly sliced through the black robe and tore into his flesh.

The attached violent lightning surged into the wound, and an intense sensation of paralysis instantly spread through Heisha's meridians across his entire body.

It made his arm go numb instantly, and his ability to channel his Superpower stalled!

Heisha's pupils contracted, his face full of horror, and before he could even react,

Chen Ye closed the distance, clenched his iron fist, channeled all his Basic Strength, and slammed it fiercely into Heisha's face!

"Bang!"

A dull thud of heavy impact exploded!

Heisha completely lost his balance, his body flew backward, and he crashed heavily onto the hard concrete ground.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Chen Ye followed closely, stepped forward, and raised his foot to stomp heavily on Heisha's hands.

Looking down from above, his gaze was bone-chillingly cold, pinning the immobile Heisha down.

"You certainly picked a scary enough name!" Chen Ye said coldly. "But your arrogance has been your undoing."

Heisha gasped for air, his cheeks covered in blood and grime, looking utterly pathetic.

Yet upon hearing this, instead of feeling fear, he slowly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a sinister and eerie laugh.

"You're right... I was arrogant, but I'm not stupid."

The next second, he suddenly looked up and roared sharply toward the depths of the dark forest: "Don't hide anymore, come out, all of you! Kill!"

The moment the roar ended!

From the dark streets, ruins, and woods all around, a dense chorus of beast roars suddenly erupted!

Dozens of massive, fanged mutant beasts rushed out one after another.

There were countless Tier 2 and Tier 3 beasts, all with scarlet eyes and bared fangs, radiating monstrous malice.

They instantly surrounded the entire Theater plaza, their bloodthirsty gazes locked tightly onto Chen Ye and his companions!

The sea of beasts pressed in layer by layer, and the sense of impending death was instantly maxed out!

Chen Ye's eyes darkened, and he exerted force through his feet, wanting to severely injure Heisha directly and cut off the source.

But just then, a bizarre scene unfolded again!

Chen Ye's foot felt like it was entangled by something and couldn't move!

Just as he lifted his foot, intending to use all his strength to stomp down again, Heisha had already seized the chance to scramble away.

"Hahaha! You thought I only had this one ability?!"

Heisha broke free from some of the restraint and laughed wildly, his eyes full of smugness and madness: "We've already seen your abilities long ago."

"The reason I dared to stop you single-handedly is because I've thoroughly analyzed your abilities!"

He stared fixedly at Chen Ye, his tone vicious yet carrying a hint of hidden arrogance: "Once I wear you all down to death, you'll be begging me to let you help me open the Secret Realm!"

"Secret Realm?"

Chen Ye's brow furrowed tightly, his heart filled with surprise; he had no idea what that meant.

"What Secret Realm?"

"I'll tell you slowly in a bit!" Heisha roared sharply. "All beasts, tear them to pieces for me!"

The sky-filling beasts roared in unison and surged toward the three of them like a tidal wave, rushing to slaughter them!

In this desperate situation, Chen Ye's gaze suddenly locked onto the dilapidated Theater dome above!

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ye suddenly released his foot from Heisha, pushed off the ground with all his might, and with extreme speed combined with explosive power, his body suddenly soared into the air!

He leaped over a dozen meters high in a single bound.

Like a swallow in flight, he accurately jumped into the hole in the dome, instantly escaping the encirclement below!

Seeing this, Heisha couldn't stop mocking him from behind: "I thought he was a tough nut to crack, but he just ran away. Turns out he's just a spineless coward who values his own life."

He then issued orders to the beasts outside, "Capture these two chicks; I want them alive. As for the one inside, I'm going to go take his head myself."

Liu Lingwei was struck as if by lightning; she never expected that Chen Ye would leave without saying a word.

She asked Shen Jiaojiao with some disappointment, "What do we do? Should we try to escape first?"

But Shen Jiaojiao showed no panic. She comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, he must have a plan. Let's hold them off for a while."

"He'll definitely give us a surprise in a bit!"

Before she finished speaking, Shen Jiaojiao had already gathered her Lightning Ability and began to fight.

Helpless, Liu Lingwei had to bite the bullet and control three beasts again, with four beasts guarding her surroundings simultaneously.

At this moment, the instant Chen Ye stepped inside the Theater, an eerie, heavy, and mysterious aura rushed toward him.

In the very center of the empty, dilapidated Theater stood a giant, dark, strange stone ten meters high!

The stone was pitch black like ink, definitely not ordinary stone from the mortal world, and its surface was smooth and delicate.

Under the moonlight penetrating the dome, it shimmered with a faint, ghostly light, appearing extremely mysterious.

And on the side of the strange stone, a huge, deep opening had cracked open!

The opening was tightly wrapped in a layer of violent lightning energy barrier, with crackling Thunder Light constantly dancing.

It sealed off the unknown secrets inside, as if suppressing some earth-shattering secret!

Just as Chen Ye was examining the strange stone, Heisha had already brought a horde of beasts, rushing into the interior through the hole in the dome and the Theater's main entrance, surrounding him again!

With the sky-filling beasts eyeing him covetously, Heisha stepped forward slowly, sneering as he prepared to reap the outcome of the battle.

"Surrender, and I will leave your corpse intact."

Chen Ye scanned the dense crowd of beasts around him, his gaze finally settling on the arrogant Heisha, and he suddenly said loudly, "You say you're the second-ranked powerhouse in the Commune? I don't believe it."

Heisha raised an eyebrow, his face full of mockery, "You're struggling on the verge of death, and you still dare to question me?"

"If you have the guts, forget these beasts and let's have a one-on-one duel." Chen Ye's eyes were sharp, each word resonant, "If you can beat me, I will voluntarily surrender."

"If you don't dare, then stop bragging about being the second-ranked powerhouse!"

Heisha was taken aback by this, then burst into laughter, his eyes full of extreme arrogance.

He knew deeply that his Vacuum Field countered all Lightning Ability, and in a one-on-one fight, he was invincible among those of the same rank.

Plus, with his trump card, this kid couldn't escape even with wings!

The two girls outside were already pinned down by the beasts and couldn't provide support at all; this kid was a turtle in a jar!

"Don't dare? I think you're at most just a single old man doing odd jobs; I bet you didn't even have three dishes and a soup before the beasts descended!" Chen Ye provoked him with words again.
