Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 387: Unbreakable Defense

Callisto, the nightwalker, is a rare mutant with multiple abilities, including night vision, supersonic movement, and the ability to perceive the mutant abilities and energy fluctuations of others.

The three abilities respectively cover assistance, combat, and reconnaissance. This not only ensures her considerable combat power, but also enables her to gain an indispensable special status no matter which faction she joins.

Before the Brotherhood began recruiting members on a large scale, she had already formed a large underground mutant gang in the chaotic underworld of San Francisco. Arc Light and others who were slaughtered one by one by Xu Yue not long ago were some of her most capable subordinates.

Then, with the release of the antidote, Magneto began to recruit members at various mutant gatherings. Sensing that war was about to break out, she decisively brought all her gang members into the arms of the Brotherhood at the first opportunity, and was promoted to the top of the organization at an extremely fast speed.

Of course, the higher the position one holds, the greater the responsibility one has to bear, especially in this mutant brotherhood that relies mainly on force and advocates the survival of the fittest.

If she wanted to gain recognition, she had to show enough achievements. So when Storm, who had briefly suppressed the whole audience, was knocked to the ground by everyone, she immediately launched a brazen attack on them.

Until this moment she met Xu Yue, who had obviously just jumped out of the laboratory. Considering the safety of her subordinates such as Hu Guang, she temporarily stopped her attack.

On the opposite side, Xu Yue lowered his eyes to look at the black woman in front of him who had a large number of black tattoos on her chest and cheeks, and said lightly.

"I met him, and then... I killed him."

As soon as he finished speaking, a howling hurricane spread out immediately, and the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, which had been thirsting for a long time, was aimed at the figure in front of him and smashed down fiercely. The training potential of the Night Girl is not high, but except for the night vision, all her other abilities are of great value.

Therefore, compared to taking the trouble to subdue it, the best solution is to kill it directly and open the treasure chest, so his halberd was full of murderous intent.

But as the halberd smashed down, even the whistling hurricane it created cut several deep grooves on the ground in front of him. However, the Night Walker, who was the main target of this attack, suddenly disappeared just before the halberd landed, leaving only an illusory afterimage that collapsed at the touch of a button.

Behind Xu Yue, the Night Walker who was moving at high speed suddenly stopped. At this moment, the fear in her eyes had completely turned into hatred. Arclight, Hedgehog Man, and Psylocke had followed her for a long time. It was no exaggeration to say that they had started from humble beginnings together and had shared weal and woe.
But now, they all died silently at the hands of the guy in front of her. For this, she must make Xu Yue pay with his life.

As for Storm who was not far away, Nightwalker no longer cared much about the Brotherhood's mission indicators. Killing Xu Yue was the only thought in her mind.

Her figure almost turned into a line of black light and disappeared instantly. After increasing her speed to the extreme, the movements of the Night Walker were basically unrecognizable by the limits of human reaction.

This is also the main reason why she can beat Storm. No matter how terrifying the power of wind and thunder is, it will be in vain if she cannot lock her.

Of course, she couldn't surpass Electro, but it was easy for her to surpass Storm's reaction limit, and the enemy with a strange weapon would not be much different.

As long as the enemy's speed is not as fast as hers, he will always be just a passive target.

Speed ​​is the natural barrier!
At high speed, everything around her seemed to be in super slow motion like in a movie in the eyes of the Night Walker.

As the distance got closer, she could clearly see the fierce and strong arc of muscles in the opponent's arms, as well as the Fang Tian Hua Ji spinning and hitting driven by the arm muscles.

This strange weapon, which seemed both noble and ferocious in the eyes of the Night Walker, tore through the air currents. Every inch it advanced would create layers of invisible air waves in the void that surged and spread like waves, making it look particularly terrifying.

Even if she only looked at the momentum, she could be sure that if she was hit head-on by such a halberd, her small body would definitely end up in a tragic way with no bones left and flesh and blood flying everywhere.

It was not difficult to tell from the strong murderous aura on the opposite side that not only was she filled with murderous intent, but the other party also obviously had no intention of holding back.

But again, no matter how powerful the attack is, if it cannot lock onto the target, it is useless. On the other side, after discovering that the halberd he swung only hit the afterimage, Xu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately swung his right arm backwards, with the halberd in his hand spinning around himself, forming a black ring with a radius of about three meters outside his body.

Outside the circle, there was a raging wind group composed of countless sharp wind blades. The wind group spread violently, and suddenly a whistling sound was heard continuously, tearing a large number of criss-crossing dense knife marks on the surface. Even some human soldiers in the rear were caught in the wind group, and in an instant, the hundreds of pounds of flesh and bones were shattered into a fine blood mist flying all over the sky.

This horrifying scene not only caused the surrounding human soldiers to begin to crawl away in a hurry, but even Storm, who was not far away, hurriedly retreated after a brief pause. It was true that she was powerful, but her body was still flesh and blood. Even if she was stronger than a normal human, her strength was still quite limited.

Once caught in the aftermath of the battle where Xu Yue opened fire at full power, he would probably be badly injured if not killed.

And this was exactly the main purpose of Xu Yue's decisive launch of a covering range attack after his missed attack. The speed of the Night Walker was far beyond expectations. Since his reaction could not be locked, he would cover the surrounding space. As long as the enraged Night Walker still wanted to kill him to avenge her companions, she would have to fall into the trap.

In order to induce the target to take the risk and attack, Xu Yue even took the initiative to restrain some of his strength. At least he did not use even a little bit of the Pure Yangyan that had the most terrifying range damage, and even the metalization that greatly enhanced the defense was not revealed in advance.

Sure enough, faced with the spinning spears, everyone was retreating, but a beam of black light resolutely went upstream and plunged into the howling wind.

The black light seemed illusory and moved at an extremely fast speed. After just a few turns, it penetrated the outer wind group and the inner long spears one by one and reached the center.

Xu Yue, who was in the center, felt a flash before his eyes, and then the night walker covered in blood suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Her extraordinary speed allowed her to avoid the target's relatively large halberd, but facing the dense wind blades that were everywhere and penetrated every hole, she could not avoid them perfectly by relying on speed alone, so she could only try her best to reduce the damage while passing through.

But when he arrived near the target, he inevitably had dozens of knife wounds of varying depths on his body, but fortunately they were only superficial injuries, and as long as he could successfully approach the target, these injuries were not worth mentioning.

The four eyes met, one was slow and stiff, while the other was agile and full of murderous intent. Staring at the enemy so close, the Night Walker's lips with lip studs were slightly pursed, revealing a fierce arc. At the same time, the sharp dagger held in her backhand was aimed at the neck with a protruding Adam's apple in front of her and slashed hard.

At this close distance, apart from a mutant codenamed Quicksilver who could dodge her sword, she couldn't think of any other way to avoid death.

Cutting the throat is one of the most tragic ways to die. A creature whose arteries and trachea are cut one after another will clearly experience the entire process of suffocation. The whole struggle can even last from more than ten seconds to several minutes, and it is powerless to reverse the situation. Even if the palm of the hand is tightly covering the neck, it still cannot stop the blood mixed with life from flowing out from between the fingers and disappearing.

She could already imagine the miserable scene of the target curled up in a pool of blood, desperately waiting for death to slowly approach. Only this extreme pain could alleviate her anger caused by the loss of her companion.

"Qiang!"

Unfortunately, reality is often much more cruel than imagination. With a loud clanging sound, the picture in her mind was shattered on the spot.

In the somewhat dazed eyes of the Night Walker, she saw that the target's neck had turned silver-gray at some point, and when the sharp dagger in her hand came into contact with the seemingly soft silver skin, the consequence was not the separation of flesh and blood, but a bright spark that suddenly bloomed between the friction of the two.

And as she exerted force with her right hand again in defiance of the evil, powerful forces like waves surged from the dagger in her hand, and finally poured into her right wrist.

She was caught off guard and counterattacked. She couldn't help but snort. The dagger in her hand was knocked out of her hand by the sudden force and broke into several pieces in mid-air.

Looking around, she could see no injuries on her neck except for a shallow white mark. She paid a heavy price to swing the fatal blow, but ended up with a ridiculous result that could not even break the defense.
