After the Skyfall

Chapter 820 The World of the Living and the Dead
For Li Yi, dodging bullets and covering 800 meters in an instant are child's play. Even though he is just a clone, his power is enough to easily destroy a city.

Although the clone created by the clone technique is very weak, its strength depends on who it is compared to.

The people in this world don't seem to possess the power of cultivation; the only unusual power they possess is that of the unseen dead.

"You want to kill me?" Li Yi's calm voice revealed a hint of authority, like a god questioning a mortal.

In the dim light, the two men seemed to hear rumbling thunder, as if there was a thundercloud beside them, and if there was any abnormality, the thunder from the thundercloud would pour down and strike them down, leaving not even ashes.

Unable to withstand the cultivator's aura, the two felt their bodily functions about to stagnate under this pressure. They experienced difficulty breathing, cardiac arrest, and a sensation as if their bodies were about to explode.

Li Yi had no intention of killing them. He withdrew his aura and waited for their response.

I felt a sudden relaxation in my body.

The two men gasped for breath, as if they had been drowning and had just come ashore. They were drenched in cold sweat and their muscles were trembling.

They had never experienced this feeling before, not even when encountering a dead person.

"We were just following orders. As survivors from the dead zone, killing them was the best option. Nobody wants the dead living among the living," the man with binoculars said, his voice trembling slightly.

"The dead zone?" Li Yi looked towards the distance.

That deliberately sealed-off, dark area must be what they call the dead zone, which is no different from the supernatural zone in World 36.

"How can we destroy the dead zone?" he asked, getting straight to the point.

The sniper said, "There's no way around it unless we move the dead from the dead zone to another place, but that other place will also become a new dead zone. The best way for the living and the dead to live together in this world is to not interfere with each other."

"A world where the living and the dead coexist?" Li Yi immediately understood, but he didn't know if the dead in this world could be killed.

"Who are you? There's no one like you in Huaimu City." The sniper asked through gritted teeth, "You can even dodge sniper bullets; that's not something a living person can do."

“I’m asking you, not the other way around. Besides, you know my existence is no good for you. Notify your superiors and have your highest-ranking person come to see me,” Li Yi said calmly.

He needs to communicate with the higher-ups in this world to reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

“That’s impossible,” the man next to him immediately refused.

He felt this person was very dangerous, more dangerous than anyone he had ever met before, not even the dead. Letting him come into contact with high-ranking officials might bring even more harm. The best way to deal with such an unstable factor was to eliminate him.

Judging by the time, the reinforcements should be arriving soon.

Just as Li Yi was about to speak, he suddenly realized something and looked around.

Many fully armed people are rapidly approaching this area.

In this world where the living and the dead coexist, are firearms still the only means of fighting enemies? Is there really no one who possesses even the slightest bit of supernatural power?
Li Yi was skeptical.

Perhaps it was because extraordinary powers were so rare, but he felt that if he were to talk to the higher-ups, he would inevitably have to show off his strength.

This is true in any world: without strength, you will only be eliminated as a heretic, without even the right to speak.

Think of this.

Li Yi stopped questioning the two men and jumped off the roof.

boom!
The ground was cracked, but he landed steadily on the ground.

This scene made the two people on the rooftop twitch. You have to understand, this is the rooftop of the tenth floor. If a normal person jumped down, they would be dead. How could they possibly be unharmed?

The two men exchanged a glance, then looked at the sniper rifles in their hands.

Should we still fire in this situation?

just forget it.

They left the support staff to handle it; they didn't want to provoke this person again, or they would definitely suffer a terrible fate next time.

However, they were not afraid of dying when they accepted this mission; they were just too foolish not to die.

After Li Yi landed, he walked forward to a relatively open area. At this moment, armed personnel surrounded him from all directions. The leader was a middle-aged man who was not carrying any firearms or wearing combat uniform, but was simply wearing a shirt. However, he kept holding a mask in his hand.

That mask was peculiar, covered in various colorful paintings that outlined a strange shape, like a distorted human face.

"Fire."

Once the support personnel arrived, they did not hesitate at all when facing Li Yi and immediately began firing.

The dense barrage of bullets crisscrossed, forming an inescapable web of fire that instantly enveloped Li Yi.

However, Li Yi stood motionless, only slightly lifting his eyelids.

Boom!

Suddenly, a rumbling thunderclap resounded between heaven and earth, and streaks of silver lightning struck down from the sky, landing precisely on Li Yi's body. These lightning bolts intertwined around him, forming a lightning armor.

All the bullets that came at them were instantly melted by the lightning armor, turning into molten copper droplets that fell onto the cement road.

This unbelievable scene stunned everyone.

Even the middle-aged man leading the group suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he had witnessed the most horrifying thing: "This, how is this possible? Can a living person really control such power?"

"How did he manage to control the power of lightning?"

However, no one offered him any explanation for this mind-blowing scene; all he received was a cold, indifferent voice.

"If they continue to attack, I will retaliate."

Li Yi, clad in lightning armor, strode over, his voice echoing through the dead zone, the residual force spreading out, a crackling arc of electricity.

An uninhabited building next door was instantly split in two.

The building collapsed, and countless fragments of rock flew out like cannonballs, easily piercing through any person they touched.

Such power is astonishing in a world without cultivation.

The middle-aged man leading the team clearly realized this as well. After a brief moment of shock, he came to his senses and hurriedly shouted, "Cease fire! Cease fire immediately!"

Bullets are no longer effective against this monster.

Moreover, continuing to attack like this will only provoke the enemy, and the result will inevitably be the annihilation of the entire support team. As the leader, he has no need to make such a meaningless sacrifice.

All the armed personnel immediately ceased fire.

They looked at Li Yi as if they were seeing a monster; even the most resolute warriors showed fear and unease.

This fear is not a sign of intimidation, but rather a signal emanating from the body's instincts.

Unable to control myself.

All I know is that when this person gets close, my whole body trembles, my hair stands on end, and I feel an urgent urge to escape, as if I have encountered my natural enemy.

Li Yi understood this feeling; it was the sense of oppression brought about by different levels of life.

It has nothing to do with courage or anything like that.

"I'm actually trembling. Am I scared?" The middle-aged man leading the group wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm himself down, but he found that his palms were trembling inexplicably.

Moreover, it's out of control; it's as if the body has its own thoughts.

"I... my name is Zhang Yan. I think there was some misunderstanding between us just now." Zhang Yan said, forcing himself to speak. "If possible, we should sit down and talk things over. We shouldn't have resorted to violence. I apologize for my rash behavior just now."

He immediately admitted defeat.

After witnessing the power this person possessed, he felt no shame.
