For Li Yi, dodging bullets and covering an eight hundred meter distance in the blink of an eye were mere child’s play. Even though he was just an avatar, the power he possessed was enough to easily destroy a city. The clone created by the Clone Skill might be weak, but it depends on who it’s compared to. The people of this world also seemed not to possess the power of Cultivation; the only unusual power present was that of the invisible dead. "Do you want to kill me?" Li Yi’s plain voice carried a hint of majesty, akin to a Divine questioning a mortal. In the background, the two men seemed to hear the rumble of thunder, as if a storm cloud was hovering above them. Any slight anomaly would unleash the thunder within, striking them so nothing would be left. The two couldn’t withstand the Cultivator’s aura, feeling as if their bodily functions were about to cease under the pressure. They felt short of breath, their hearts stopping, as if their bodies could explode at any moment. Li Yi had no intention of killing the two and retracted his aura, waiting for their response. Their bodies suddenly relaxed. The two gasped for air like drowning men who had reached the shore, their bodies drenched in cold sweat, muscles trembling. They had never felt anything , not even when encountering the dead. "We... we were just following orders. As living beings coming out of the ghost zone, it’s best to eliminate the dead. No one wants the dead to live among the living..." the man with binoculars said, trying to steady himself, though with a trembling voice. "Ghost zone?" Li Yi’s gaze shifted not far away. That deliberately cordoned-off, pitch-black area must be what they called the ghost zone, similar to the paranormal zone of World No. 36. "How can we destroy the ghost zone?" he asked bluntly. The sniper said, "There is no way, unless we lure the dead from the ghost zone to another place, but that place would then become the new ghost zone. The best way for the living and the dead to coexist in this world is non-interference." "A world where the living and the dead cohabit?" Li Yi immediately understood, but he was unsure if this world’s dead could be taken down. "Who are you? There’s no one like you in Huaimu City..." the sniper asked through gritted teeth. "You even dodged sniper bullets, something no living person could do." "I am asking you, not for you to ask me, and my existence holds no benefit for you to know. Inform your superiors, let the highest-ranking person come to see me," Li Yi said calmly. He needed to talk to this world’s high-ups to avoid unnecessary trouble. "That’s impossible..." the man next to him immediately refused. He considered this individual extremely dangerous, more than anyone or any spirit he has encountered. Contacting the high-ups could bring significant harm; the best way to handle such an unstable factor is eradication. Counting the time, support should be arriving soon. Just as Li Yi was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something, his gaze shifting around. Many armed individuals were quickly closing in. In this world where the living and the dead coexist, they still rely on firearms to deal with enemies? Could it be that they really haven’t mastered any Transcendent power? Perhaps it was due to the extreme rarity of Transcendent power, but he felt he should demonstrate some strength before meeting the higher-ups. That’s the way it is in any world; without strength, you are regarded as a heretic to be exterminated, without even the qualification for dialogue. Li Yi stopped questioning the two and leaped off the rooftop. The ground cracked as he landed steadily. This scene made the two on the roof twitch with their eyelids, knowing that this was the tenth-floor rooftop. A normal person jumping off would have transitioned from living to dead. Surviving such a fall was unthinkable. The two exchanged glances, then looked at their sniper rifles. Is it still necessary to shoot in such a situation? They decided against it. Let the support team handle it; they didn’t want to further provoke this person and face an even more dreadful fate next time. This update ıs available on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱 However, they weren’t afraid of dying when they accepted this mission, just unwilling to die so foolishly. After Li Yi landed, he walked to a more open area. By this time, armed personnel were approaching from all directions. Leading them was a middle-aged man without any firearms or combat gear, casually dressed in a shirt, yet always holding a mask. The mask was peculiar, covered in colorful paint, depicting a bizarre figure, like a twisted human face. Once support was in position, they didn’t hesitate and immediately opened fire on Li Yi. The dense bullets formed an inescapable web of firepower, covering Li Yi instantly. However, Li Yi stood motionless, merely lifting his eyelid lightly. Suddenly, the sound of thunder erupted between heaven and earth, and bolts of silver lightning struck down from the sky, accurately landing on Li Yi. These lightning bolts intertwined around him, forming an electric armor. All the bullets covering him were instantly dissolved by the electric armor, turning into drops of molten copper that spilled onto the concrete road. This incredible scene stunned everyone. Even the middle-aged man leading the group gasped, his eyes narrowing as if witnessing the most terrifying sight: "How can this be possible? Is such power something a living person can wield?" "The power to wield lightning... how did he do it?" Yet, no one answered this overturning scene; the only response was a cold voice. "If you continue to act, I will retaliate." Adorned in electric armor, Li Yi strode forward, his voice echoing in the ghost zone. Just an aftershock caused an electric arc to leap. A nearby uninhabited building was instantly split in two. The building collapsed, scattering countless rubble like shrapnel. It could easily penetrate a human body if hit. Such power, in this world devoid of Cultivation, was astonishingly unheard of. The middle-aged man leading the group clearly realized this. Recovering from his brief shock, he quickly shouted, "Cease fire, stop firing." Bullets were futile against such a creature. Moreover, continuing the assault would only provoke the opponent further, inevitably resulting in the annihilation of their entire support team. As the leader, there was no need for him to make such a meaningless sacrifice. All armed personnel hurriedly ceased fire. They looked at Li Yi, as if staring at a monster. Even the resolute warriors showed fear and unease. This fear wasn’t just of a formidable enemy but was an instinctual signal the body emitted. Upon approach, they trembled all over, hairs standing on end, with an intense desire to flee, as if facing a natural predator. Li Yi understood this feeling, an oppressive sensation due to different life levels. It had nothing to do with courage or anything. "I’m trembling... am I afraid..." the middle-aged leader thought to calm himself with a cigarette, but found his hand uncontrollably trembling. Additionally, his body seemed to have a mind of its own. "I am Zhang Yan. I think there has been some misunderstanding earlier," Zhang Yan uttered with a steadfast undertone. "If possible, we should discuss things calmly instead of resorting to violence. I’ll apologize for my earlier actions." He directly admitted defeat. After witnessing the power this person possessed, he felt it wasn’t shameful.
