Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 369 Wrong

Liu Xi had unlocked her genetic lock as soon as she discovered Zhao Zhuikong, and the moment Zhao Zhuikong revealed his bright smile, her sense of danger began to pound wildly.

With the activation of True Vision, the distance to any point in the space centered on her was materialized, as if it were marked with numbers.

The telekinetic power roared, and all these data were amplified at this moment... just like another force outside of telekinesis burst forth, repelling everything that came near Liu Xi.

Zhao Zhuikong appeared hundreds of meters away, his smile widening: "The power of the spatial level?" He returned to his previous position, but the distance between Liu Xi and Zhao Yingkong and him was now hundreds of times greater than before!
When he disappeared again, Liu Xi dodged to the side and grabbed Zhao Yingkong. The distance that had been expanded a hundred times returned to normal, and Zhao Yingkong, whose target remained unchanged, appeared a hundred meters behind them.

The prepared telekinetic shockwave erupted backward, the visible fluctuations in the air demonstrating its intensity. The shockwave grazed the wrecked bus before disappearing at the end of the road.

Zhao Zhuikong appeared behind Liu Xi, a small dagger in his hand, poised to pierce her slender body. He wasn't using his full strength, not because he wanted to spare her life... but because he didn't believe killing her required his full power!
Liu Xi glanced back at him, without even taking a step forward, but Zhao Zhuikong's attack missed.

Zhao Zhuikong, who was originally rushing forward at high speed, was actually retreating at an even faster speed!
Zhao Zhuikong's expression finally changed. He stopped and looked deep in thought: "A very unfamiliar ability, vector manipulation... It seems I either have to overwhelm you with strength, or use my brain to figure out your ability."

Zhao Yingkong pulled her hand away from Liu Xi's grasp and turned to look at Zhao Zhuikong: "Are you trying to sow discord again, Zhao Zhuikong...?"

"Oh?" Zhao Zhuikong was surprised for a moment, then smiled frankly, "Yes, I am a genius at manipulating people's hearts... but can you still surpass me in the art of assassination now?"

Liu Xi also turned around, and all the specific data on Zhao Zhuikong, as well as abstract data such as strength and direction, were displayed before her eyes. She had actually taken a shortcut earlier; if she hadn't seen it, she wouldn't have been able to modify it… Her solution was to modify it beforehand.

The direction and magnitude of the friction under Zhao Zhuikong's feet were only reversed when he launched a sneak attack from behind, which led to the scene just now.

Liu Xi smiled indifferently: "Playing with people's hearts... a performative personality disorder, huh?"

With a flick of the trident, the telekinetic shockwave roared forth.

Zhao Zhuikong flashed, but remained in the same spot. He was hit head-on by the extremely powerful telekinetic force and was about to be sent flying backward.

At the same moment he was hit, three Zhao Yingkongs appeared behind him... but a look of shock appeared in the eyes of the three girls, and then they all turned into shadows.

A nearly invisible streak of cold light flashed, passing through the three shadows and arriving in front of Liu Xi. The space in front of her suddenly shrank, creating a distorted perspective line. This space seemed to have gained substance, rushing forward; while the distance between another piece of ground and Liu Xi rapidly decreased.

The cold light missed its target because the distance between it and Liu Xi was suddenly magnified. Even though its length was already exaggerated, it still couldn't reach Liu Xi. On the ground that was brought closer, there was a flat, colorful Zhao Yingkong.

After the image exchange ended, Zhao Yingkong appeared beside Liu Xi, staring intently at Zhao Zhuikong: "You also exchanged for an image?"

Zhao Zhuikong shrugged and laughed, "I wanted to ask you that too... I didn't expect you to see through my tricks so easily."

Liu Xi didn't notice anything amiss, but Zhao Yingkong knew perfectly well... Zhao Zhuikong was still playing around. Earlier, when Zhao Zhuikong was standing there, even when he was hit and about to fly backward, his presence, killing intent, and aura were all there—he was a real person. But when he pretended to fly backward and was pierced by the three mirror images of Zhao Yingkong, all of that vanished!
Apart from his image... everything else no longer exists.

The real him was hidden to the side; the cold light was from the metal wire he swung. If Zhao Yingkong and Liu Xi hadn't dodged in time, they could have been cut off!
Zhao Zhuikong was completely at ease. He was hit because he was trying to lure them into attacking... He could even switch between his physical form and mirror image the instant he was hit, a technique Zhao Yingkong hadn't anticipated. To her, the mirror image was more like an auxiliary means to increase attack angles and confuse the opponent... rather than a substitute-like ability.

Zhao Yingkong's true form was hidden to the side at that moment, but she also felt a great sense of danger. Zhao Zhuikong's killing intent enveloped both her true form and her mirror image. Even after she used Shadow Swap to exchange her body and shadow, Zhao Zhuikong's killing intent was directly directed at the location of her true form.

If Liu Xi hadn't pulled her back, Zhao Zhuikong could have easily destroyed the ground with a single blow, forcing her to reveal her true form...

The space, which had been distorted into a chaotic mess, returned to its original state, and a hint of apprehension appeared in Liu Xi's eyes. Just as Mu Xiang had said... this person was very strong.

"You really think highly of me..." Even the composed Liu Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself, "Is this the opponent you arranged for me?"

"Be careful of that metal wire." Zhao Yingkong's gaze never left Zhao Zhuikong for a moment. "It's very sharp."

Zhao Zhuikong smiled and looked at her: "Your expression is still the same as before... just like a kitten."

"Watch out!" Zhao Ying shouted. She was extremely nervous. Her figure disappeared instantly and appeared behind Liu Xi. With a wave of her right hand, she blocked a cold light.

Her right hand appeared empty, yet it clashed with a small dagger, producing a metallic clang. Only upon closer inspection could one discern what invisible object she was holding.

"Hmm, you've also exchanged quite a few things suitable for assassination." Another Zhao Zhuikong appeared from behind, showing the same expression as the previous Zhao Zhuikong. "That's great, you're still the same Little Apple you always were."

He emphasized this point.

Zhao Yingkong did not answer. Her right hand, Cheng Ying, blocked the small dagger, while her left hand suddenly slashed backward.

"Why use so much force? I'm an assassin... I don't use the brute force of a captain, you know?" Both Zhao Zhuikongs chuckled, and at that moment, blood splattered in the air.

Liu Xi watched Zhao Yingkong's movements out of the corner of her eye. The moment the blood splattered, she changed the distance in that space again... When another Zhao Zhuikong appeared, he was already a hundred meters away.

On Zhao Zhuikong's arm, there was a new gash. This was not even a minor injury to him. He even showed an appreciative smile: "You noticed the clue so quickly? Well, after all, you also exchanged for the mirror image. If you couldn't find it, you wouldn't be the genius I admire."

Zhao Yingkong stood a hundred meters away, looking at him with icy eyes: "You're wrong."

"What did I do wrong?" Zhao Zhuikong tilted his head and said innocently.

"You are not worthy to call yourself an assassin!" The girl's roar rang out beside him, and four Zhao Yingkongs simultaneously appeared from the space, wielding Xiaolian in their left hand and Chengying in their right, stabbing at Zhao Zhuikong from eight angles!
