Zhao Yao finally understood what was happening. All this time, the apostle had been hiding in the shadows, waiting for Zhao Yao to reveal its weakness. Just now, he did not act when Zhao Yao was channeling Matcha’s power because the time frame was too narrow for him to act.
While Zhao Yao was channeling Elizabeth’s power, this was the golden opportunity for the apostle to fight. He intended to kill Zhao Yao with this single strike.
This pair of cat and human was something Zhao Yao had never expected, be it their physical strength, mental toughness or even how ruthless they acted.
Elizabeth’s illusion would not be able to stop this fatal blow. With the apostle hiding behind Zhao Yao away from his eyes, Zhao Yao was similarly unable to control him using Elizabeth’s power.
Furthermore, time freeze remained on cooldown.
Hence, this left Zhao Yao with only one option – to change to another power.
Zhao Yao screamed at the top of his lungs in his head,
Deflect! Deflect! Deflect!


Deflective Field! Come out now!

During his training, Zhao Yao had calculated the time required for him to switch his powers. It took approximately 0.1 to 0.2 seconds.
Normally, this amount of time would be insignificant in anyone’s eyes. However, times were different. Currently, an extraordinary human had sent his most powerful punch hurling into Zhao Yao’s back. The time difference of 0.1 to 0.2 seconds could easily be the difference between life and death.

Dmn it! Roly Poly! Use your power of invisibility to scare him!
Matcha had also reacted to the apostle’s ambush and roared at the top of his voice.
Immediately, Zhao Yao’s body gave a violent shudder as the muscles and flesh in his body all evaporated. What was left were simply his bones.
A normal human had instantly turned into a set of skeletons.
Even the apostle was taken aback by the skeleton’s sudden appearance as fear splintered his heart. Subconsciously, he had already slowed down his punch.
However, this had bought Zhao Yao just enough time for the golden sword auras to burst out of Zhao Yao’s body.
Dozens of sword auras crashed into the pair of supercat and apostle. Instantly, blood spurted out of their bodies and rained across the floor. This attack had dealt a significant damage to them as some bones jut out of their bodies and sent them flying off.
The apostle once again vanished into thin air following its teleportation, leaving the Sphynx Cat to fend for itself against Zhao Yao.
Because of the presence of this apostle, Zhao Yao dared not to change to any other abilities for the time being. He could only afford to focus all his attention on the deflective field to attack the Sphynx Cat.
Suddenly, an inordinate amount of sword auras appeared in the sky and rained down on the Sphynx Cat. It began dodging the swarm of sword auras like a gymnastic champion executing its routine as it tried its best to dodge them all.
The next moment, the Sphynx Cat noticed the sword auras in the air gave a light shudder and raised its head instinctively. A giant palm was crushing towards its position. In its attempt to avoid the sword auras, the Sphynx cat had already been forced to a corner. Facing the wall and the impending crush of the giant palm, the Sphynx Cat was left with no room to escape.
The Sphynx Cat’s pupils constricted together as a thought flashed across its head. Zhao Yao’s initial attack using the sword auras were simply to lure it into this position, robbing it of any chance at escape.
The golden giant palm was the culmination of Zhao Yao’s strength and resolves to end this fight once and for all.
Bam! An earth-shattering explosion erupted as the giant golden palm crushed into the Sphynx Cat. Layers of air currents swept across the surroundings before they were engulfed by the rays of golden beams.
Just when Zhao Yao was about to follow up with another attack, a bolt of lightning appeared before him … no … it wasn’t a bolt of lightning, it was a person that had reached an extraordinary speed. He held a dagger in his hand as it sliced through the deflective field.
Even though the dagger was instantaneously vaporized, Zhao Yao tried to get rid of the person by a flick of his finger which sent a sword aura directly to him. However, all it managed to hit was his afterimages. The person was simply too fast.
Zhao Yao sniggered and was on the verge of pursuing that person before he was interrupted by a loud scream.

How dare you abuse your power in public! Stop what you’re doing immediately!

An invisible giant hand descended from the heavens and swooped Zhao Yao off the floor and into its palm.
The person who had stopped Zhao Yao was the one who managed to subdue Sun Meng and gang. He was the user of psychokinesis, Yue Shan.
With the power of psychokinesis, Yue Shan, who had a head full of red hair, raised his hand in the air and morphed it into a giant hand and enveloped Zhao Yao within it.
Zhao Yao’s temple throbbed with rage as he roared,
Get lost!

Bam! The psychokinesis palm had been torn to pieces by the blast created by the deflective field. Zhao Yao took a step forward, as a whirlpool of air current blasted him ahead, towards the direction of the Sphynx Cat.
While Zhao Yao was giving chase, the person who tried to attack him at warp speed did not give up either. He was like a bolt of lightning and began striking Zhao Yao ceaselessly. An inordinate amount of flashes flooded the sky. Within that short hundred meters, Zhao Yao had no idea how many times he had been struck by that person.
However, with the protection by Deflective Field, Zhao Yao remained unscathed. The intensity of the person’s attack started waning as another of his dagger was vaporized by Deflective Field. The assailant clutched his right arm in his chest as his forehead furrowed together.
The person who had just tried taking down Zhao Yao was none other than Lin Chen., who had received the power of extreme speed. Within that short instance, he had landed a total of 102 strikes on Zhao Yao. However, Zhao Yao sustained no injuries but his right palm grew numb from the intense battle.
He stared at the golden figure as it begun to disappear into the horizons. He could not even see Zhao Yao’s face clearly. Disappointment clouded his features as he mumbled,
Who is that golden guy?
At the same time, Yue Shan’s voice rang in his earpiece,
Lin Chen, try to stall him. I’m going to use my ultimate move.


Stall him?
Lin Chen’s voice was devoid of confidence as he continued,
That’s as good as asking for my life.

Zhao Yao’s initial fight with Sphynx Cat had already startled the residents in the area. The ensuring battles using the sword auras only made the situation worse.
Coincidentally, Lin Chen and Yue Shan were in the vicinity when the fight broke out. They received instructions from the higher-ups and were the first ones to appear. When they arrived, all they saw was this golden man wreaking havoc in the area. Only one thought sprang into their heads – take that man down.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao slid Lin Chen a glance and continued pursuing the Sphynx Cat.
He thought,
Is that Lin Chen? His ability is far stronger than before. Evidently, the government has also been training their supercats’ abilities.
Zhao Yao had already predicted this since the government held so many supercats and apostles in their hands. They would surely let the supercats lend out their powers to all the apostles and in the process improved its abilities.
From the looks of it, psychokinesis and extreme speed were the powers that the government had standardized on.
However, this thought only stayed in Zhao Yao’s head for a brief moment. His objective was still to capture Sphynx Cat.
Sadness clouded Zhao Yao’s features when he returned to the Sphynx Cat’s last position.
All that was left were the giant hole. Evidently, this was created during their previous battles. This hole led directly into the sewage systems. Obviously, Sphynx Cat had escaped using it.

No, my previous attack should not be able to break the surface of the concrete floor.
Suddenly, a glimmer flashed across Zhao Yao’s eyes as he recalled the Sphynx Cat’s behavior during the fight.

That guy exerted all its strength when it stepped on the ground. At first, I thought it was only using it to produce an even greater force. I guess … it already knew that our position was very close to the sewage channels underground.


That was why it continually damaged the structural support of the concrete ground. With my last attack, the ground collapsed and revealed the sewage channels.


Throughout the entire process, we produced such a huge commotion which attracted the attention of the police and the government apostles.


While trying to lay an ambush on me, this cat had already prepared its plan B, C, D, E.
When this thought struck Zhao Yao, he could not help but shudder in fear. He never expected this cat to be this crafty. It was a true hustler lurking in the shadows of Jiangmen city as it accumulated its strength.
Zhao Yao took a look at his timer and realized that he was left with two minutes. Hence, he immediately jumped down.

I still have two minutes. The sewage channels are extremely narrow and complicated. This dark setting would be beneficial for it, with its superior sensory skills. I can’t afford to engage a fist fight with it without my ‘Power Up Card’.
