Dark Light Chaser.

Chapter 317 Overwhelming Power
Mus easily used his other hand to pinch Cat's Eye's wrist.

The dust kicked up by his side; the astonished look in the cat's eyes; and the look of disbelief on 1209's face next to him.

Everything around him seemed to move very slowly from Mus's perspective.

With a slight twist of his palm, Cat's Eye's knife-wielding hand snapped off.

But he still didn't let go.

Mus hadn't been observing from the sidelines for nothing.

During the fight between Maoyan and 1208, Maoyan suffered broken limbs and ribs several times.

But just like he can breathe and regenerate blood, as long as he keeps his distance from 1208, his body can recover to normal in no time.

Mus knew very well that simply breaking Cat's Eye's wrist like this was not enough.

We need to get down to some serious stuff.

The short knife in Cat's Eye's hand was forced to fall due to a broken wrist.

Musk swept Cat's Eye down with a leg sweep, then freed his hand to grab the hilt before the dagger hit the ground.

Click!

Mus cut off Cat's Eye's right hand from the crook of his arm, just like chopping wood.

The show they've put on is over.

Musk threw Cat's Eye's arm toward 1208 to prevent Cat's Eye from catching it.

This is not finished.

He stepped on Cat's Eye's chest and reached for Cat's Eye's other arm.

This stance clearly indicates they intend to shave the cat's eye into a human stick.

It's true that there's a significant difference in the neural reaction speed between Mus and the cat's eye.

However, Mus's control over his abilities is not yet very proficient.

Once Cateye recovered from his shock, he used the mask's corrosive properties to forcefully break free from Mus's control, even though his abilities were still on cooldown.

The reason why the mask's ability has a cooldown period is to keep the side effects of using the ability within a range that the user can tolerate.

Do you think the apostles' abilities can be borrowed so easily?
Even if the masked figures have a strange adaptive constitution, they will still break down if they use too much.

This is still under the condition that there is a mask, and it acts as a relay.

Cat's Eye forcibly used Janus's power, and the consequences were immediate.

The mask pressed against his face, like a red-hot branding iron, sizzled against his skin.

The pain reaches the depths of the soul, spreading from the brain to the whole body.

"Ah! Ah!! Ahhh!!!"

Even the cat-eyed creature, with its extremely high pain tolerance, couldn't help but roar due to this mental erosion, which felt like being injected with sulfuric acid.

Cat's Eyes teleported to Mus's side, was subdued with a backhand, had his arm severed, and then teleported away.

All the actions happened in that short period of less than three seconds.

1209 hadn't even realized what had happened yet.

Muslims believe in the principle of taking advantage of someone's weakness to kill them.

This guy doesn't care about martial ethics.

As Cat Eyes leaned against the tree trunk and growled, he seized the opportunity to rush forward.

We plan to press on and take control of the cat's eye in one fell swoop.

Cat's Eye wouldn't give Musk a chance to make a move.

He used teleportation again to get out of Mus's sight.

Since the erosion has already occurred, one more time won't make a difference.

"Fuck, where are the people?"

"I'm so angry that I didn't get a chance!" Mus cursed.

"At two o'clock, it's about 132 meters away from you."

Ai Liang accurately pinpointed the exact location of the cat's eye.

'That's one of the exits from the safe house; he's probably gone to get the potion that can suppress the mask's side effects.'

Without a second thought, Mu Si rushed straight in the direction Ai Liang pointed.

Although I don't know what the cat's eye wants to retrieve.

But in this situation, even a pig would know that it's definitely not something that would benefit him.

………………

This time, the range of Cat's Eye's teleportation was not just a dozen meters.

He went directly to one of the exits of the underground safe house.

Cat's Eyes leaned against a row of big trees, swaying from side to side as he walked to the foot of a boulder.

He supported his face with his half-eaten arm, while frantically digging at the dirt with his other hand, as if searching for something.

Cat's Eyes knelt on the ground and frantically dug.

For these people, a distance of over a hundred meters is less than the time it takes to drink a sip of water.

If it weren't for the dense forests on the mountain, Mus would probably have arrived much earlier.

The cat's eyes clearly showed that no matter how dense the trees were, it wouldn't last long.

In his perception, Mus was getting closer and closer.

But before Mus arrived, Cat's Eye finally unearthed a small brown wooden box.

Fueled by a combination of urgency and pain.

Instead of patiently unlocking the box, the cat-eye smashed it to pieces with his fist.

He grabbed a thumb-sized vial from the wood shavings, bit open the seal with his teeth, and swallowed it along with the plastic seal.

The medicine's function is very simple and straightforward.

Temporarily increases the user's resistance and adaptability to the strange phenomenon, reducing the mask's side effects.

Long-term use by ordinary people can lead to a strange, adaptive constitution.

Cat's Eye keeps a bottle of this medicine at each of his hiding places just in case.

Of course, this does not mean that the medicine is cheap.

Quite the opposite in fact.

This thing is very rare in the Apostles.

Within the Masked group, only the veteran Masked members possess one or two vials of potion.

Moreover, they always carried them with them as a trump card for survival.

Unlike Maoyan, which is like a bottle of mineral water in a hotel, with one placed everywhere.

Because the raw material for the medicine is people.

To be precise, they are people with a strange adaptive constitution.

Apart from the tyrant's henchmen.

Only those who established the Cat's Eye Gang in Nevada City were qualified to squander money like this.

After one vial of the potion was taken, the mask on the cat-eyed face stopped.

Although the aftereffects have not been eliminated, at least they are no longer eroding his body.

Whoosh!

I heard the sound of wind breaking behind me.

Without a second thought, Cat's Eye teleported away.

Boom!

A tree trunk as thick as a bucket crashed down on the spot where Cat's Eye had just been standing.

Having failed in his sneak attack, Mus walked to the tree roots, grabbed the trunk, and threw it at Cat's Eye, who was hiding behind the tree.

Boom!

The tree trunk, over ten meters tall and as thick as a bucket, was thrown by Mus like a javelin.

The tree trunk, carrying immense force, hurtled and crashed about.

Any obstacle that stood in Mus's way was crushed like a tumbleweed.

"Where did you get this power from? The Countermeasures Bureau couldn't possibly have given you this kind of power!"

Cat Eyes clutched his severed arm, his face grim as he questioned, "You found the Hermit?"

As he spoke, Cat Eyes stared intently at Mus's face, trying to discern his thoughts through his expression.

Mus was, after all, an intelligence professional, and his micro-expression control was quite adept.

He didn't even flinch at Cat's Eye's questioning.

"You actually don't know?"

Mus feigned doubt: "Isn't this the power of the mark that your Lord Janus personally gave me?"

"This is impossible!"

The cat instinctively meowed.

In his mind, the mark was merely a symbol of an apostle's identity; how could it possibly come with such power?
The power that Mus has gained does indeed seem very strong.

But in the eyes of the apostles, this power was no different from that of a baby who had not yet learned to walk.
