Chapter 428 Hired Hero Company VS Illyana (2)
"First."
Illyana rested her Greatsword on her shoulder, casually standing in front of the fallen Luke, and beckoned to the remaining two with her free Left Hand.
"Who's next?"
"Luke!" Jessica's eyes were about to split, seeing her Boyfriend fall in front of her, his life or death unknown. The Rage in her heart blazed up, and disregarding Iron Fist's advice, she flew towards Illyana at top Speed.
At this moment, Jessica was like a Cannonball, pushing herself with all her might towards the seemingly unprepared Illyana, wanting to avenge her Boyfriend.
But Jessica had only flown halfway when openings appeared around her, just like those around Iron Fist earlier. Countless Tentacles emerged from them, swarming towards Jessica in the Center.
Alarm bells rang in Jessica's Heart. In a panic, she tried to find gaps in the Tentacles, but unfortunately, Illyana didn't hold back. Openings appeared all around her, above, below, left, and right. Those Tentacles enveloped her like a inescapable net.
With nowhere to dodge, Jessica couldn't even last a second before her limbs were firmly locked by the Tentacles. Her Strength, which she was so proud of, was of no use against these twisted and winding limbs.
"Le...t go of me!" Jessica's face flushed red, and she could only weakly shake her limbs. Her futile resistance seemed to enrage the Tentacles binding her. They exerted force together and slammed Jessica heavily onto the Ground.
"Boom!"
The Ground was smashed into a small Pit. Jessica was firmly controlled on the Ground, and even looking up was a luxury.
Iron Fist certainly wouldn't stand idly by. He had just finished clearing away the disgusting Tentacles that had entangled him. Seeing that his two Teammates had already been defeated, he immediately moved to rescue them.
But unfortunately, the Field had changed.
"Clang!"
After a muffled Sound, Iron Fist, who had been forced back, looked solemnly at Illyana, who had just retracted her Greatsword. Unlike the former, who was facing a formidable enemy, the latter had a playful Expression.
"I thought I had hit a piece of Metal," Illyana said thoughtfully, looking at Daniel's Fists. The golden light looked extremely dazzling.
"Your Power should come from something ancient." Illyana held her Sword with both Hands. "I can feel it's very strong, but it's a pity you don't seem to have mastered it."
"I am indeed still just a beginner," Iron Fist said, stretching his arms and getting into a stance. "But it's more than enough to deal with you."
"Then show me!" Illyana's Words had just fallen when she appeared in front of Iron Fist in the next second. The Greatsword in her Hand fell from above, about to separate the enemy's head from their Body.
Iron Fist didn't panic. He retracted his Right Fist and struck the Sword Blade of the Greatsword heavily. This blow changed the trajectory of the falling Greatsword, causing it to Slash towards the Ground. The martial artist was of two minds; his Right Fist was extremely powerful, but his Left Hand was soft and boneless, like a venomous Snake opening its fangs to bite at Illyana.
"Shriek!"
A distorted Scream rang out. Iron Fist quickly withdrew and retreated. His Left Hand was hooked with a piece of Flesh, but its owner was not Illyana, but a twisted Tentacle.
Illyana wiped her Face, but there was still quite a bit of Blood on her beautiful Face. Looking at the Tentacle broken in two at her Footsteps, Illyana praised,
"Beautiful defense and counterattack. If it weren't for the Tentacles, the one bleeding now might have been me." Illyana licked her Lips subconsciously, but frowned because of the rank Blood. "Your two Teammates are completely incomparable to you in fighting Technique."
"Everyone has their own strengths," Iron Fist said, discarding the Flesh still wriggling in his Hand, and getting into stance again. "I just know a little about Fists and feet."
"Useless modesty." Illyana curled her Lips. "I hope you can still say pretty Words later."
Iron Fist stopped talking, striding his Heavy Hitter towards Illyana. His Fists, radiating golden light, were now going to slay Demons and exorcise evil. But at this moment, an unexpected change occurred. In the process of running, Iron Fist felt his Underfoot empty, and then his entire Body began to fall uncontrollably.
"What?"
Before he could understand what had happened, the next second he appeared in front of Illyana, who had already raised her Greatsword high. At this time, he had not yet recovered from the falling State. In a panic, he could only gather Qi in his Hands, hoping to block Illyana's Slash.
But just as he crossed his Hands in front of his chest, he heard the Sound of Air Being Torn coming from behind him. Iron Fist thought to himself, "Not good," he had been tricked.
Sure enough, as he thought, the Illyana in front of him began to distort and finally turned into a wisp of sand and slipped away. In his peripheral vision, Iron Fist also saw the Sword Blade emitting a faint Blue Light appearing on his Right Shoulder.
The Sword Blade slashed across Iron Fist's Body. The martial artist, losing Consciousness, crashed onto the Ground with a thud. Illyana didn't even look at him, dispersed the Greatsword in her Hand, and then walked towards the Abandoned Factory.
"If you have the guts... then kill me too...!"
Intermittent roars of Rage came. A trace of doubt appeared on Illyana's Face. When she looked in the Direction of the Sound, she saw Jessica, disheveled and trying hard to raise her head to glare at her.
"Oh!" Illyana clapped her Hand and exclaimed. "I completely forgot about you. After all, you were really too easy to deal with."
"Bastard!" Jessica roared.
"Save your Strength," Illyana waved her Hand. "You can't even break free from these low-level Demons, yet you still want to fight me. You're really asking for trouble. Besides, I didn't kill your Teammates."
"What did you say?" Jessica was stunned. She had personally seen Illyana slash Luke and Daniel's Body with her Greatsword, and then both of them had fallen.
"My Sword doesn't do much Damage to ordinary Humans. Although being slashed will definitely be uncomfortable, it will definitely not lead to Death." Illyana spread out her Hands.
"I spared your lives because I saw that you are all Mutants. Don't let my Good Intention go to waste. When your Friends wake up, hurry Home."
After speaking, Illyana ignored Jessica, who was bewildered in the wind and inexplicably labeled as a Mutant. She stretched lazily and continued walking towards the Abandoned Factory. She had only eaten Bread just now, which was not enough to fill her Belly.
"Da, da, da..."
Illyana, who had walked halfway, stopped, turned around helplessly, and looked at the Sky, saying, "Still coming? Are you done yet?"
Following Illyana's Line of Sight, one could see a man wearing a Black Bodysuit. He wore a huge Golden Belt around his waist, with a Nuclear Radiation Symbol engraved on the front of the Belt. Behind him, a golden Cloak fluttered in the wind.
Centered around the man, several people wearing Strange Costumes floated beside him, but Illyana knew that these were not all of them.
Sure enough, there were still a few people riding in specially shaped Cars, driving towards this Abandoned Factory.
