Chapter 120 Interception and Raid: A Showdown Between the Players (2)
The roar of the car was deafening, and the blinding headlights made it almost impossible for them to open their eyes.
"Get out of the way!"
Logan saw the truck less than ten meters away and about to crash into them, so he shoved it to both sides with both hands, forcefully pushing Victor, Moira and the others onto the sandy ground on either side.
Then, he assumed a lunge position, and with a whoosh, his steel claws flashed out.
He held the steel claws, gleaming with a cold light, to his chest, ready for battle, his gaze fixed icyly on the direction of the truck.
Just as the truck was about to load him, the steel claws instantly transformed into two streaks of cold light, slashing out with overwhelming force.
The immense force caused the steel claw to unleash a deafening roar as it sliced through the air, a silver explosion echoing as it slashed down hard at the truck.
It's sizzling!
The sharp steel claws were as easy as a sharp knife hitting tofu when facing the truck.
The sound of metal tearing echoed in the air as the truck was sliced in two by the sharp steel claws. After sliding forward several meters, it collapsed to the left and right with a loud bang.
The cut surface is smooth and flat, without any burrs. Even the sharpest blade probably couldn't achieve this level of precision.
On the other side, Marcos and Moira, who had been shoved aside by Logan, got up from the sand.
Logan's burst of power was surprisingly strong, pushing them more than ten meters away. Fortunately, the surrounding area was relatively soft sand, so they were not seriously injured.
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they saw the truck and Logan standing in the middle of the road.
"Hiss~"
Marcus and Moira gasped in astonishment at Logan's unharmed state, their eyes wide with shock.
"Wow, you can do that?"
Moira stared in astonishment at Logan's steel claws, her eyes wide with surprise.
The weight and speed of that truck were enough to easily smash any ordinary person to pieces. Even a house standing here would be pulverized by that powerful impact.
Logan not only escaped unscathed from the impact, but he even cleaved the truck in two!
"Logan is just too strong!"
Marcos couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes flashing with horror.
He had known Logan for some time and had witnessed many of Logan's abilities, but what happened tonight once again refreshed his understanding of Logan's terrifying power.
Such strength could probably easily lift tens of tons of cargo!
Meanwhile, the truck driver, with two masked men in the back, stared in shock at the disintegrating truck.
"Shit, what kind of monster is this?!"
His pupils were filled with shock, and when he glanced at Logan behind him, there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.
This guy can easily cut a truck in half, so he can easily cut the two of them in half too!
At this moment, Logan slowly turned around, his fierce eyes, like those of a wolf, reflected a cold light in the moonlight, and both of them instinctively got goosebumps on their backs.
call!
After a dull, slight sound, the person on the truck instantly transformed into a wisp of luminous particles and vanished.
"Um?"
Logan frowned and looked around. "Disappeared again?"
At this moment, he was filled with curiosity about the abilities of these two people.
This ability to vanish instantly is unlike Klaus's invisibility or Clarice's opening of a spatial portal, since he didn't see any trace of spatial rupture.
Not only Logan, but also McCain and the others looked around in surprise.
But the night was dark, and they couldn't find any trace of the two people.
Just when the group thought the two had teleported away, Victor suddenly pointed behind Logan and shouted, "Logan, watch out behind you!"
At that moment, Logan also felt a cold glint coming from behind him and suddenly turned around.
A flash of light appeared behind them, and a man wearing a pig-face mask appeared out of thin air.
A dazzling ball of lightning was flashing in his palm, with the faint sound of thunder rumbling within it. This light was especially noticeable in the vast darkness of the night.
He suddenly took a step forward and threw a full-force punch at Logan. His fist sliced through the air, leaving a blur as it hurtled towards Logan's chest.
Streaks of blue-white electricity danced at his fingertips, his fist was enveloped in a ball of blazing lightning, and arcs of electricity pulsed within a lightning bolt slightly larger than his fist.
Logan could clearly feel the terrifying power contained within it. The frigid temperature seemed to rise considerably because of the appearance of this lightning ball. Endless energy spread throughout the ball, making Marcus and the others break out in a cold sweat, their breaths almost stopping.
Everyone felt a strong sense of danger emanating from the ball of lightning.
Logan's eyes narrowed, and he instinctively flinched.
The pig-faced masked man's fist grazed past Logan's clothes as the lightning ball slipped from his hand and slammed heavily into the ground.
boom!
A dull sound rang out instantly, and the lightning ball exploded in the sand.
In an instant, dust and sand flew everywhere, the impact force rippled out, stirring up a thick cloud of dust, and a pit half a meter deep emerged from the sand.
Crackling arcs of electricity leaped across the sandpit, instantly turning the sand black and the intense heat causing the entire pit to be filled with charred smoke.
Looking at the charred crater, Logan frowned as he stared at the pig-faced mask in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Are you a mutant?"
To be able to use such abilities out of thin air, one must be either a mutant or a superhuman, with Logan believing the former is more likely.
However, his response was to the pig-faced mask unleashing lightning once more.
A dazzling burst of lightning erupted in his palm, and a thick bolt of lightning, like a long dragon of thunder, roared and flew towards Logan, crackling arcs of electricity dancing on it, heading straight for Logan's chest.
Logan's eyes narrowed. He could clearly sense that the power hidden within the arc of electricity was enough to easily destroy a building!
Sensing the terrifying energy, Logan suddenly retreated and dodged.
boom!
The electric arc struck the ground where he had been standing, and the terrifying energy once again swept up a sandstorm-like cloud of yellow sand. The impact spread outwards, the ground trembled, and an even more terrifying sand pit appeared. The stench of burning permeated the air, and the deep pit was completely blackened, with white smoke drifting out.
At the same time, the roar of a motorcycle suddenly rang out.
Several motorcycles with their headlights on moved quickly through the yellow sand, their engines roaring incessantly in the night.
"Watch out from the side!"
Seeing the enemy rushing towards them, McCa's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly directed everyone to defend.
Marcos and the others hurriedly raised their guns and aimed.
bang bang bang! ! !
The men kept pulling the trigger, gunfire spitting out muzzle flashes as bullets streaked through the cold night, heading straight for the motorcycle.
But those motorcycles kept twisting their heads in the sand, their bodies spinning erratically, making it impossible for bullets to hit them!
Even with Victor's precise marksmanship, he couldn't deal with this completely unpredictable twisting motion. Bullets would even graze the motorcycle, and he couldn't hit it even after firing several shots.
As the motorcycles sped towards them, Victor's eyes turned icy, and he roared at McCain, "Hurry up and make your move!"
Right now, the only thing that can stop a motorcycle from speeding towards us is McCain's ability.
Hearing Victor urge him on, McCa nodded with a furrowed brow, then suddenly spread his hands out, golden light flashing within them, and slammed them onto the ground.
Brush brush.
Rows of sharp sand spikes stretched out, constantly approaching the motorcycle.
Upon seeing this, the person on the motorcycle decisively abandoned the vehicle, leaped high into the air, did a somersault and circle in the air, and then approached McCain and the others with clenched fists.
One of the men, wearing an orc mask, tumbled in the air, his arms visibly growing thicker and thicker, as if they were inflating balloons. But unlike balloons, which are filled with air, these arms were clearly filled with massive muscles!
He selected his opponent in mid-air and pounced straight down on Victor.
Looking at the enemy, Victor snorted coldly, his hands extending into sharp claws as he stepped back.
boom!
The enormous iron fist slammed into the ground, sending sand flying everywhere and leaving a terrifying sand pit.
Seeing that his attack had missed, the orc mask once again swung his massive fist and lunged at Victor.
Victor's eyes narrowed. He could feel the terrifying power contained in that fist. This punch had the force of several tons!
The fist whistled past, and Victor hurriedly fell backward, the huge fist grazing his nose.
Taking advantage of the situation, Victor quickly reached for the arm of the orc mask with his claws.
Tear!
Sharp claws slashed through the muscular arm, but due to the high density of its muscles, even though Victor's claws gleamed coldly, they only managed to create scratches.
"what!"
The orc mask let out a painful howl as its arm was slashed, and its ferocity intensified as it swung its fists again, launching a relentless attack on Victor.
Fortunately, he seemed to only have great strength, but his fighting skills were far inferior to Victor's.
Although Victor was somewhat troubled by the powerful arms and dared not confront them head-on, he used his superb fighting skills to maneuver around them and subtly gained the upper hand.
In the lull between their fights, McCain and his group also got entangled with the other attackers. The strength of both sides seemed to be about the same, and the scene became tense for a time.
At that moment, an attacker wearing a cat-face mask was fighting Moira when Moira slapped him away with a single blow.
As Moira pressed her attack, the cat-face mask suddenly opened its mouth.
call!
A cloud of white mist suddenly flew out of his mouth.
Moira was caught off guard and accidentally inhaled a small puff of smoke. Realizing something was wrong, she quickly stopped breathing.
Even this small bite caused her to momentarily lose her composure. Some past events seemed to float before her eyes, and her former friends and relatives seemed to appear vividly in the desert, waving to her.
Moira was startled, then immediately realized it was a hallucination and slapped her head to wake herself up.
Fortunately, he had only inhaled a small amount, and after patting his head, he felt refreshed and recovered.
At the same time, a cat-faced mask suddenly appeared in the white mist, and the dagger in its hand stabbed straight at Moira's chest.
Moira's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly dodged, the dagger slicing past her neck, breaking through the surface of her skin, and blood flowed down.
The stinging pain in her neck enraged Moira. She threw a punch, knocking the dagger away, and simultaneously kicked the cat-face mask away.
The cat-faced mask was kicked to its knees, its eyes flashing with cold light. It raised its head, ready to use the same trick of spewing smoke again.
But Moira already knew that the white mist could cause hallucinations, so she was not going to let him use it smoothly.
She suddenly swung her hands out, and in an instant, the air trembled and the ground rippled.
The cat-face mask, which was kneeling on the sand and exhaling smoke, lost its balance due to the vibration, and the smoke that was about to reach its mouth was forced to stop.
……
Meanwhile, Logan was still locked in combat with the pig-faced mask.
Although this guy's fighting ability is average, his lightning ability is incredibly skillful and extremely powerful.
Even though Logan had a powerful healing ability, he didn't want to force himself to withstand such a lightning attack. He could only carefully dodge and rely on his exquisite fighting skills to entangle with the guy.
Just as he was taking advantage of the moment when the pig-faced mask unleashed lightning, Logan dodged the lightning attack and strode towards the pig-faced mask, throwing a powerful punch.
He crossed his arms, which were covered by a pig-face mask, to block the attack. Lightning flashed across his arms, forming a defensive electric glow.
boom!
Logan slammed his fist into his arm, and in an instant, the arc of electricity covering the other man's arm flickered and jumped onto Logan's fist, making him feel a tingling sensation.
The pig-faced mask was hit hard by Logan's punch, and its body flew backward, crashing heavily onto the sand. It slid several meters before coming to a stop. The face under the mask was contorted in pain, and its arms were in excruciating pain, as if the bones were about to break.
He could feel that if he hadn't used the electric energy to protect his arms, the power of that punch would have shattered them completely!
Just as Logan was defeating the pig-faced mask, a muffled thud suddenly came from behind him.
boom!
A cold glint appeared behind him.
Logan turned around abruptly and saw the man wearing a monkey-face mask suddenly appear behind him.
He spread his arms wide, with sharp claws protruding from his fingertips, somewhat similar to Victor's tiger claws, and swung them wildly at Logan.
bang bang bang! ! !
Logan quickly reached out to block.
The monkey mask's sharp claws slashed across Logan's arm like raindrops, each strike tearing away strips of flesh. Although these injuries were nothing to Logan—his skin would likely heal as soon as they were applied—the pain was real, causing Logan to gasp involuntarily.
Faced with this rapid offensive, Logan could only retreat repeatedly.
But the monkey mask continued its relentless pursuit, its sharp claws flailing wildly.
Logan's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly found an opening in the monkey mask, retreating sharply to dodge the monkey mask's swung claws.
At the same time, with a whoosh, Logan's steel claws extended and slashed down at the monkey mask without hesitation.
The monkey mask felt a terrifying chill on the steel claws, its eyes narrowed sharply, and it instinctively crossed its arms in front of its chest while taking a large step back.
But his retreat was not as fast as Logan's claw strike.
Click!
A crisp sound rang out, and the steel wrist guard on the monkey mask's wrist was easily severed by the steel claws, falling heavily to the sand.
At the same time, although the steel claws did not directly touch the monkey mask's arm, the terrifying cold light and powerful swings left three clear bloodstains on the monkey mask's wrist, from which blood seeped out.
"Shit!"
The monkey mask stared at the steel wrist guards at its feet, the cuts smooth and clean. Its eyes narrowed in horror as it looked at Logan's steel claws, which gleamed with a chilling light in the moonlight. A wave of fear washed over it, and it instinctively took a step back, exclaiming in terror, "Adamantium claws are really sharp!"
The fact that he could easily sever his own steel claw bracers gave him a clearer understanding of Adamantium alloy once again.
"You recognize this?"
Logan was taken aback by what the monkey mask said and quickly raised his steel claws to ask a question.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that the other party might know him. After all, Adamantium Claws are usually associated with Wolverine, so if someone knows Adamantium Claws, they must know Wolverine.
When questioned, the monkey mask snorted coldly, said nothing, and simply transformed into bursts of dazzling light before disappearing again.
Just as Logan frowned, another sharp edge flashed from behind him.
Logan whirled around and saw the pig-faced mask behind him throw a punch, arcs of electricity crackling from the fist and light scattering everywhere.
A powerful electric current swept over him, and the terrifying energy made Logan's expression turn serious.
As the lightning-fast fist approached, Logan suddenly dodged.
boom!
The punch struck the truck behind Logan directly, and the powerful force caused the truck to explode.
Flames instantly erupted, completely engulfing the truck, and a powerful impact swept over it, sending sand flying everywhere.
Logan and the pig-faced mask were both thrown backward by the terrifying impact and landed on the sand.
"Oh shit!"
Logan got up from the sand, his hair full of dust.
He touched his back, which was healing rapidly, his face contorted in pain.
The truck explosion completely burned the back of his clothes, and his skin was also affected by the blast wave, becoming a bloody mess.
He glanced at the pig-faced masked man on the other side, who was also caught in the blast and was in bad shape, and sneered, "That move of yours was pretty cool, but it was too much of a fool's errand!"
The electric arc is so dazzling that it easily attracts attention and may become a sensation as soon as it appears.
"There's something even more outrageous!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from above Logan's head.
The monkey-faced mask that had disappeared earlier had reappeared high above their heads, holding a huge rock as it fell rapidly.
Logan's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly darted away.
boom!
The boulder crashed into the sand beside him, instantly creating a deep crater.
Looking at the stone beside him, Logan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If you were hit by this rock, even if you didn't die, you would still suffer excruciating pain.
However, just as he relaxed, a series of muffled sounds suddenly came from the air.
Logan suddenly looked up.
The monkey mask kept appearing and disappearing in the air, and each time it appeared, it was holding a rock that was bigger than itself. After appearing, it would let go and let the rock fall on its own, while it would teleport away to retrieve other rocks.
In just a few seconds, more than a dozen huge rocks rained down from high above.
"Fuck!"
Viktor felt a chill run down his spine upon seeing this.
He doesn't have Logan's adamantium skeleton; if he were hit by this rock, he'd basically be turned into a meat pie!
Marcos and the others couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with terror.
"Micah, hurry up and make your move! What are you waiting for?!"
Logan suddenly shouted at McCain.
McCa suddenly woke up, his hands flashing with golden light as he slammed them onto the ground.
Rumble.
The ground trembled, and a yellowish-brown dragon suddenly rose from the ground, roaring straight into the sky and smashing a boulder that was about to fall to the ground.
boom!
Then, the top of the salon suddenly spread outwards, forming a mushroom-shaped canopy.
The enormous sand mushroom covered the sky and blocked out the cold moonlight, stretching for hundreds of meters on both sides, incredibly wide.
The stones that fell from the sky were completely isolated by this giant sand mushroom!
