Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 388 Encirclement and Suppression
The place where the knife was stabbed only caused the flesh to roll and shake, but the sharp weapon that was cut off broke with a clang while flying backwards.

The crisp sound behind her ear made the astonishment in the Night Walker's eyes disappear completely, and was replaced by an unspeakable horror. This desperate attack that couldn't even break through her defense finally allowed her sanity, which was occupied by rage, to briefly regain clarity.

Let’s not talk about the Hedgehog for now, but can she really deal with the guy who can take out Arclight, Psylocke, and possibly Juggernaut in a very short period of time?
Crushing speed is indeed an absolute advantage, but when one's own attack cannot even overcome the opponent's basic defense, pure speed will not be that effective.

Even though she didn't want to admit it, she really had no way to attack the iron lump in front of her. This type of enemy should be dealt with by Lord Magneto. Under the control of magnetic force, the opponent would be squeezed and flattened at will and experience what true despair is.

So since fighting head-on is ineffective, it’s better to retreat first!

Thinking of this, the Night Walker did not dare to delay any longer. She raised her eyes one last time and glanced at the silver figure opposite her, who was slowly stiffening in her eyes. At the same time, she stepped back, ready to evacuate at an incredible speed.

But when she saw the scene in front of her clearly, her breathing immediately stagnated. She saw that the eyes of the person opposite her had turned completely dark, like the compound eyes of an insect. Then a huge silver hand suddenly rose up and grabbed her at a speed that was no less than hers.

[Overclocking Vision: LV.MAX (Active/Passive)]

Effect 2: Bullet Time·Pseudo (active), consumes 10 to 30 mana points per second, activates vision and thinking to synchronize into an overclocking state, can have an effect similar to slowing down the time flow, and can currently be slowed down to normal speed 10 to 20 times (increased by 10 times), duration 1 to 5 seconds (increased by 2 seconds).

On the opposite side, as soon as Xu Yue felt the slight pain in his neck, he decisively activated the bullet time. As the faint light at the center of his pupil spread, everything around him began to slow down in his eyes.

The originally blurry figure of the Night Walker suddenly became clearly visible in front of him, and the broken dagger that was bounced away by the recoil force not far away was also slowly falling in the air at a speed close to that of a turtle.

Seeing that the nightwalker on the side was about to retreat after missing the attack, Xu Yue's eyes were cold, and then he lowered his silver left arm to gather strength, tearing through the airflow at a speed nearly ten times faster than normal, and grabbed it fiercely.
He spent a lot of effort to induce the opponent to take the initiative to attack, but his purpose was not to let the opponent escape again. The ability of supersonic movement may be lacking in attack, but it is invincible when used in escape.

So he may only have this one chance to take action, and he must not miss it.

Outside, in everyone's field of vision, Xu Yue just swung the halberd in his hand for a circle, and his figure suddenly became blurred. Then his lowered left hand suddenly turned into a phantom and reached forward, grabbing a struggling black figure out of thin air.

"Hehe...wait...I..."

His left arm stretched out at an exaggerated speed, and just by passing through the air, it caused a large gust of wind to rise in front of him, blowing Xu Yue's clothes and causing them to rustle.

In addition to the continuous flapping sound of clothes, the night girl, who was held by the neck by his broad left hand, was struggling hard and uttering a series of incoherent and hoarse sounds.

While begging for mercy, the Night Walker's body was shaking constantly, but even though the shaking speed was so fast that it formed an afterimage, and even though her ten scratching fingers had left bloody marks on the silver tough membrane, the strong arm that stood still and the iron palm that was like a steel cage never wavered at all.

Looking down at the black woman in his hand with bulging eyes and throbbing veins, Xu Yue had a cold expression on his face. He just began to slowly tighten his left hand around her neck, gradually strangling the other party's unfinished words in her throat.

“The speed is good, but it’s just about acceptable.”

As he finished speaking, the crisp sound of cervical vertebrae breaking was heard in front of him, and at the same time, the particularly familiar park prompt sound appeared.

[You killed the Night Walker—Callisto]

[Nightwalker is an elite mutant in the X-Men world. You have obtained 5.2% of the origin of the world, and now you have obtained 20.3% of the origin of the world.]

[You get a treasure chest (purple)]

…………

The whole process took only a few seconds. The Nightwalker, who had once forced Storm into a miserable state, died so easily in Xu Yue's hands. This careless attitude towards killing made Storm, who was not far behind him, look complicated.

Before this, although the X-Men and the Brotherhood had many conflicts and confrontations, they were mostly restrained. At least as long as they were sure they could subdue the opponent, they would rarely kill them mercilessly.

In any case, although they have different theories, they are all fellow races that are ostracized by humans. This attitude can be seen from the fact that the Night Girl only used her fists and feet when dealing with her, and never used any weapons.

But it was obvious that Xu Yue's attitude was incompatible with theirs. In his eyes, anyone who blocked his way could be killed. This was somewhat similar to Logan in a violent state, but more indifferent.

It was not until this moment that Storm realized how different this intruder in front of her, who claimed to have come from another timeline, was from them.

At the spot, Xu Yue naturally sensed the complicated gaze coming from behind him, but he didn't care. He never intended to play the role of a good guy in front of the X-Men.

Faced with the current bleak situation of a collapsing building, if the mutants want to survive, all they can do is kill, fight their way out of a mess, fight their way out of a mess. Professor X realized this truth after receiving the memory images transmitted by Xu Yue, and Storm will soon understand it too.

The limp corpse in his hand suddenly ignited with a large piece of purple flame. Surrounded by the enchanting fire, Xu Yue waved his hand to disperse the black ashes between his fingers. Then he took out a transparent potion filled with golden liquid from the space and threw it at Storm behind him.

"Drink it, and then continue to clear out the Brotherhood members. Magneto is about to get rid of all the Sentinel robots. We don't have much time left."

Her slender five fingers steadily caught the potion thrown to her. Although she was a little worried about Xu Yue's overly decisive and murderous character, Storm quickly suppressed this inappropriate complex emotion. After taking the potion, without any hesitation, she directly pulled out the cork from the bottle and drank the honey ant juice inside.

Soon, the serum that could quickly restore her health began to take effect. The wounds of varying sizes on her body healed automatically, and the dull pain in her chest also disappeared.

Feeling her breathing becoming normal in an instant, a strange color flashed in her eyes and her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but finally gave up. She just nodded to the silver figure in front of her, and then ran quickly towards the front line of the battlefield driven by the strong wind.

The sound of footsteps in his ears gradually blended into the battlefield and became difficult to distinguish. Xu Yue did not follow them, but glanced around. At the same time, the tightly closed eyelids of the coiled dragon relief on the halberd slightly opened, revealing traces of dark red blood light.

"You've been watching the show for so long, aren't you ready to take action?"………

Fast forward to a few minutes ago, there were many more people who joined forces to strangle Storm than just Nightwalker, it was just that Nightwalker was at the forefront.

Most of the other contractors stayed far away from the two of them, constantly aggravating Storm's injuries through long-range means to prevent her from dragging them to death in despair.

Storm, who can manipulate wind and thunder at will, is fully capable of doing this, and the fatal blow she unleashes is definitely beyond imagination.

On the other hand, these contractors who belong to different forces are also paying close attention to the battle situation, and on the premise of being vigilant against each other's assassination, they are always ready to take action to grab the head first.

Whether it is Storm or Nightwalker, they both represent a valuable source of the world and a treasure chest of at least purple quality. In this scene of conflict between the snipe and the clam, there are many fishermen lurking in the dark hoping to profit.

However, with the sudden appearance of someone, everyone's attention quickly shifted from the two characters fighting each other to Xu Yue, who was obviously the contractor.

Especially when Xu Yue killed the Night Walker in an instant, the gazes hidden in the dark also changed one after another, some retreated quietly out of fear, some became more and more enthusiastic in greed.

In the dark, the puppet master who was the deputy leader of the Drama Adventure Group and also one of the people hiding and coveting the opportunity, stared at the silver figure surrounded by the enchanting purple flames not far away. He asked with a serious expression:
"Yueqin, can you detect the other party's specific attributes?"

Hearing this, a female contractor behind him shook her head slightly and replied:
"I can't do that. The other party seems to have a special equipment that blocks mental detection. My detection equipment and skills are ineffective."

"However, judging from the brief battle just now, this guy's strength, agility, and stamina should all be at least around 50 points. In addition, the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand is also very powerful. Judging from its power, it is at least a dark purple equipment. The effect is unknown, but the attack power of this heavy weapon is definitely off the charts."

"And the extreme speed that the opponent burst out the moment he reached out. Even if that was just a temporary effect brought by the skill bonus, his attack speed was at least 65 points or more. It was very exaggerated. Except for the leader, no one of us could safely block this speed."

As she spoke, Yueqin couldn't help but turn around and look. She saw that in the center of the battlefield, a strong tree man several meters tall was fighting fiercely with white silk threads all over the sky. Around the two were a large number of contractors who were fighting each other.

Noticing Yueqin's movements, Master Ou did not turn around, but spoke in a cold tone.

"It's not surprising. He is the only lone wolf contractor who dares and is able to join the X-Men. It's normal for him to use some tricks. And if nothing unexpected happens, Trickery and Sett will both die at his hands."

"Also, stop looking at Captain Xi Ming. Pan La Gon of the Breath of the Wild Adventure Group is not easy to deal with. The captain will not be able to free up his hands in a short period of time, so we can only rely on us this time."

"Strength, physique, and agility are developing at the same time, which is difficult to deal with. However, intelligence and charm should be its weaknesses, so there is a special equipment that specifically protects the spirit..."

"Alas, the most annoying thing is facing this kind of well-rounded lone wolf player. Moreover, this guy is particularly good at close combat techniques, so prepare to pay with your life. Tsk, Fang Tian Hua Ji, this is the first time I have encountered someone who uses this thing as the main weapon."

As soon as he finished speaking, several strange sounds of swallowing saliva were heard behind him. Although not every member of the group at the back had strong enough intelligence to directly observe the terrifying evil spirit wrapped around Xu Yue, they were still clear about how troublesome the Night Walker's strength was.

However, such a mutant, who was at least Beta level or above, was easily crushed to death like a chicken in the hands of the man opposite him, and the whole process took no more than ten seconds.

To be honest, if it was not necessary, they really didn't want to fight with their lives. After all, killing a powerful plot character could be said to be a great reward, but the rewards of killing a contractor of the same level would be very few. The difference between a treasure chest and a scarlet card was completely a world of difference.

After reaching the second stage, there are not many contractors who are still afraid of dying in battle. After all, they have basically experienced life and death, and have seen it so many times that they will naturally adapt to it. But even if they fight to the death, it must be a valuable death. Not everyone can agree with a siege fight where the risk and benefit are not proportional.

"Deputy Captain Ou Shi, Captain Xi Ming and most of the main forces of the adventure group are being held back by Breath of the Wild. In this chaotic situation, there is no need for us to seek trouble. Even if the guy on the other side kills Trickery and the others, we can gather our forces and find an opportunity to kill them together after the battle. Why risk our lives now?"

The words with strong resistance slowly echoed in the crowd, bringing out a silent silence. After a few breaths, Master Ou turned around and glanced at the person who had just spoken, then slowly glanced at the crowd and said lightly:

"Are you scared? Scared of shit!"

"We are not the only ones who want to kill him now. No matter how strong he is, he can't do it alone. A round of control skills plus long-range bombing will hit him. No matter how strong his defense is, he will lose a layer of skin."

"We can take revenge on the tricksters later, but we must complete the mission given by Captain Ximing. Didn't you hear the conversation between him and the Night Walker?"

"He killed Arclight and the others in the Worthington Laboratory, which means Jimmy is most likely in his hands. So if we want to get Jimmy, we have to kill him first. Do you understand?"

"Now is our only chance. Once this battle is over and he hides in the X Academy, who can kill him in Professor X's territory? We don't have a chance. If we don't move forward now, even without the enemy taking action, Captain Xi Ming will skin us alive afterwards."

"So we have no choice. Everyone, prepare to surround and kill!!"

…………

At the rear of the battlefield, as Xu Yue's provocative words spread, figures began to walk out from the surroundings one after another. Upon careful counting, there were at least twenty contractors with different auras surrounding him tightly in an arc shape, and there were also a large number of shadowy figures hiding in the dark at the rear and had not appeared.

At the same time, as the siege gradually took shape, several voices of exhortation were heard from the outer encirclement.

"Friend, hand over the treasure chest and information about the mutant Jimmy, and we'll let you go. How about that?"

"Why are you being so polite? You are just bored. Boy, either surrender or die. Choose one! Don't waste your time. I am busy killing mutants."
