Chapter 250: Chase! Chase! Chase! Run! Run! Run!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Fit Bro and his gang could not believe their eyes as all that remained from the three-story building was the leftover rubble.
From time to time, clanking sounds would erupt from the ruins as vases and pots crashed onto the floor.
Shivers ran down their spines as their eyes darted from the rubble towards the golden figure floating mid-air. They gave one another a glance and did not even dare to move an inch.
A wave of thoughts swept through his head and he could not believe that there was this monster lurking in the shadows of his gym. Just the thought of it could make him shudder with fear.
His eyes swept across the place and stopped at the Sphynx cat. Looking at its bulging muscles and vascular body, Fit Bro had concluded that this was the supercat that had endowed them with the power.
Originally, they had regarded this supercat which had limitless potential with god-like admiration. To him, this cat was invincible. However, it was currently getting pummeled by this golden figure which sent it further underground.
They stared blankly at this scene as the cat, which they had revered, could not even hold a candle against this person. They had no idea how to make sense of this world.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao stared at his feet and observed the gym which had been destroyed by his rampage. His eyes glanced towards the basement and his heartbeat grew faster and faster. His chest rapidly sunk and fell. He remained at the peak of his emotional outburst.
The entire process which started with the sneak attack and ended with his rampage lasted for less than two minutes. As Zhao Yao continued venting all his build-up frustration and anger in hopes of destroying everything in front of him, he had slowly regained his calmness.
He finally realized the magnitude of his destruction. Nothing was left behind except for the crater which led directly to the underground basement. Zhao Yao’s first reaction was to utter, “D*mn it, I’m really strong.”
Immediately, he was overwhelmed with fear as he thought, “Is that d*mn cat still alive?” Zhao Yao still could not get rid of his fear towards the Sphynx cat even after this round of trouncing.
The memories of the Sphynx cat’s toughness remained freshly imprinted in Zhao Yao’s head. He could still vividly picture the sneak attack from the shadows, the instantaneous explosive strength which swarmed over him like a tsunami and how it managed to stand its ground when pelted by his insane deflective field.
These assassins with such strong mental and physical toughness were Zhao Yao’s worst opponents. Furthermore, he had just used his Time Distortion ability. This meant that there were no more second chances.
Even though the Sphynx cat was overwhelmed by Zhao Yao’s final barrage of attacks, Zhao Yao was still not confident of taking it down if it resorted to a hand to hand combat. Even 10 of him would not be able to take the cat down.
Even until this moment, Zhao Yao remained extremely alert.
His decision to maintain his heightened state of awareness was the correct decision made.
The silence was punctured by an earsplitting blast as the debris from the ruins exploded into the sky by an enormous force. A black line appeared across the sky and went straight for Zhao Yao.
Even though Zhao Yao’s body condition was far inferior to the Sphynx cat’s, his nervous reaction had far surpassed that of an ordinary human with ‘Three is better than two’. He instantly reacted to this attack. Dozens of golden palm zoomed forward, shielding his face from the attack.
The moment the black shadow made contact with his golden hands, another black shadow appeared from the ruins. It was like a bolt of lightning which cut across the night sky before descending to Fit Bro and his subordinate’s side.
Meanwhile, the collision between the slab of rubble with the golden deflective field shredded it into pieces as its remains showered across the area.
Actually, the Sphynx cat had thrown the rubble into the air as a distraction and used the opportunity to escape from the basement.
Even though it managed to successfully escape, the Sphynx cat was currently in a bad shape. Its body was covered with bruises from the previous encounter. One of its eyes was closed shut as a trickle of blood flowed down from it. One of its hind legs was broken as it limped towards Fit Bro. It could barely even stand on its feet.
However, its strong body had given it an astounding speed. It only stopped in front of Fit Bro for a split second before it disappeared along with him.
When the Sphynx cat and Fit Bro simultaneously disappeared, three golden palms descended from the sky and came crashing towards their previous position. Following the thunderous boom, a large portion of the exterior wall had been destroyed. His subordinates who stood around them also flew into the air.
“Trying to escape?” Zhao Yao’s eyes squinted into a line as he instantly identified the cat’s intention, “Hmph, trying to bring someone along?”
Matcha shouted, “Restrain it, Zhao Yao! Don’t you have an ability that can restrain an individual?”
Zhao Yao curled his lips and replied, “A hard carry does not need a power that stuns his opponent. He just needs dps.”
Zhao Yao had considered channeling Matcha or Elizabeth’s abilities. However, Zhao Yao was still not a qualified warrior. As compared to harnessing a greater offensive power, he would rather retain his life. With just one life left, Zhao Yao did not dare to switch his power and chase this dangerous supercat.
However, Zhao Yao still had some tricks up his sleeve to catch up to the Sphynx cat. Immediately, streams of airwaves exploded from his back. By utilizing the law of action-reaction, the deflective field encapsulating Matcha, Roly Poly and himself propelled forward towards the Sphynx cat’s direction.
Zhao Yao knew that he could not let it go. Firstly, he had unfinished business with the Sphynx cat. Secondly, the Sphynx cat currently had Fit Bro with it. Fit Bro held much important intel about supercats in Jiangmen University. Even though some information was inaccurate, Zhao Yao dared not take any risk.
His body was encapsulated in a golden glow as he bolted towards the supercat with Roly Poly and Matcha by his side. Golden sword aura erupted from his body and went straight for the Sphynx cat.
Zhao Yao had finally overcome his initial fear and was no longer acting out of his primitive instincts. Instead of relying on his fist, he resorted to a more technical approach by using his sword auras. This was obviously more powerful and destructive compared to his first attack.
However, if he had used the sword auras earlier, Zhao Yao was sure the Sphynx cat would not have retaliated with a head-on approach.
Furthermore, the sword auras would not have caused as much destruction to the surroundings. This would have given the Sphynx cat and upper hand, by providing it ample space to maneuver. The battle would not have ended in Zhao Yao’s favor.
Maybe Zhao Yao’s instinctual choice of using his fist was actually the best decision he made.
However, there was a possibility the sword auras would be able to take the Sphinx cat by surprise and deal an extraordinary damage on it.
This was the crux of the battle between superpowers. Regardless of how strong you were, the strategies you employed would result in vastly different outcomes.
Whizz! Golden sword auras sliced across the night sky and continued charging towards the Sphinx cat.
However, the Sphynx cat was truly too fast and too nimble. Just now, it didn’t even manage to display the magnitude of its maximum speed inside the narrow office. Now that it was outdoors, its movement was as fast as a shooting star as its body darted along the residential areas and the alleys. Until now, none of Zhao Yao’s word auras had landed on it.
With its speed advantage, the Sphynx cat had slowly widened its gap between Zhao Yao and itself.
“Never mind.” Zhao Yao grew increasingly calm as he continued giving chase. “Its body had already suffered heavy damage from my attack. It would not be able to maintain this insane speed for long.”
