Absolute Gate

Chapter 36 Attacked
Just as Luo Yi was transforming Wu Zhong, Xia Heng had already attacked the scouts from afar.

"boom!"

An explosion was heard from there.

The three looked down and saw a burst of fire on the county road two kilometers away.

The refrigerated truck exploded.

Several monsters jumped out from the firelight, but they were too far away to see clearly.

But Luo Yi still recognized him, and frowned: "Vegetable Man..."

"Vegetable man?" After being reminded of this, and with his improved eyesight, Wu Zhong finally realized that the monster's head, torso, and limbs seemed to be made of vegetables.

These vegetable people were originally in that refrigerated truck.

Now that the car has exploded, not only have they survived, but they've escaped and are now attacking Xia Heng.

"Vegetable people are cultivated and possess intelligence and strength close to that of normal people."

"Most importantly, vegetable people can only be harmed by objects that are also vegetables."

"You can think of this thing as 'immunity to all physical damage' except for interactions with vegetables."

"Don't even mention a car explosion, even a nuclear explosion wouldn't kill you."

Upon hearing this, Wu was horrified.

Are you immune to direct physical damage?
"Let's hurry and go support Brother Xia!" Wu Zhong shouted.

Luo Yi remained calm: "Don't worry, he's just a vegetable person, Old Xia can handle it."

"It's just strange, how did they manage to set the car on fire? It might have attracted the fire department if it had blocked the road."

Wu finally understood what he meant: attracting firefighters was essentially the same as attracting 985 universities.

"Dudududu!"

Xia Heng's strength was extraordinary; he easily dealt with most of the vegetable people.

It's very simple. He just grabbed one of the vegetable figures and used it as a weapon to smash the others to pieces.

Wu Zhong's lips twitched. The so-called complete physical immunity except for vegetables sounds impressive at first, but it's just that kind of thing.

Once their weaknesses are known, they are easy to target, especially since they are made of vegetables themselves.

However, because of the vegetable man's obstruction, the brooding young man who was driving, now covered in blood, took the opportunity to escape.

He was incredibly fast, like a sprinter.

"Vegetable people are a decent helper, but that's about it."

"In combat, these are just cannon fodder to the Gold Mercenaries."

"Old Xia, don't let that scout get away... Huh? Ah?"

Luo Yi, who was smoking a cigarette, was finishing normally when suddenly his eyes widened and he dropped the cigarette in shock.

"What? That guy is that good?"

"The Myriad Swords Technique is for cultivators of the Enlightened Realm... This guy is no ordinary person. If he has this strength, why didn't he dare to fight me before?"

"Hiss... Oh no, Old Xia can't hold on."

"I have to go and help him!"

Luo Yi grew increasingly serious as he looked at the scene. He pushed off with his foot and leaped forward, the air whistling as he instantly reached a distance of over ten meters.

"What are you talking about?" Wu Zhong asked in astonishment.

Luo Yi was explaining things perfectly fine until suddenly he looked shocked, said some strange things, and ran off to support Xia Heng.

But Wu Zhong saw it clearly; there was no such thing as the Ten Thousand Swords Technique. Xia Heng wasn't unable to withstand it either.

The repressed young man driving the car was just trying to escape, and because of the car explosion, he was seriously injured, his skin and flesh were charred, his hair was curly, and his face was disfigured.

They fled in a very disheveled manner, but Xia Heng not only didn't chase after them, he was also frantically trying to avoid something.

The horizontal stripes, the repeated rolling, and the cool purple armor made the movements look pretty cool, but it was completely a one-man show, just one person acting crazy towards thin air.

"Oh no! It's an illusion!"

Wu finally realized that Xia Heng and Luo Yi had both fallen under an illusion.

This is precisely the multi-faceted method that Xia Heng mentioned earlier, the deputy commander named Matsutake, is skilled in.

"Damn, is the illusion that powerful? They both fell for it..."

Wu tried to call out to Luo Yi, but the guy was rushing too fast.

With a leap, equivalent to a standing long jump, he propelled himself more than ten meters like a cannonball.

Then came the high-speed sprint, the arm swing was so fast it was a blur, dust flew up under his feet, and he ran at least seven seconds for 100 meters.

"It's fake! Don't go! It's an illusion! Wake up!"

Wu Zhong stared at Luo Yi's back and felt a sense of unease.

He shouted loudly to remind Luo Yi.

However, it seemed that Luo Yi couldn't hear his voice.

This is probably not a matter of illusion, but rather that even the five senses have been deceived.

"Debiao, let's follow them!"

Wu Zhong called out to Yang Chunsha, who was somewhat nervous, clutching the leather book to her chest with both arms.

She swallowed hard, her body drenched in cold sweat, as if she were feeling immense pressure.

"This is outrageous... I... let's not go, shall we? Let the big shots handle their own affairs."

Wu turned around in astonishment, realizing that she had also been affected by the illusion, seeing extremely terrifying scenes, but not severely; she could still communicate, and it wasn't entirely targeting her.
"Then you stay here, since you can't withstand illusions anyway."

He thought that since he wasn't afraid of illusions among the people present, bringing Yangchunsha would only be a burden.

Yang Chunsha was overjoyed upon hearing this and nodded repeatedly.

But then his expression changed, he glared at Wu Zhong's back, and opened his mouth as if to shout.

Seeing her like this, Wu Zhong realized what was happening without her even having to remind him.

His hair stood on end, and he turned around abruptly, raising his arm to reveal his purple arm armor.

A masked man was seen standing on the roof of the car.

The black, oversized T-shirt was clearly ill-fitting, his arms were wrapped in white arm sleeves, and his face mask was very cool, embroidered with rebellious words, revealing only his eyes, making him look like a ruthless bandit.

"Oh!"

The arm armor collided with the opponent's large hand, and Wu Zhong was immediately thrown away.

He collided with Yangchunsha, and the two rolled into a heap. Wu Zhong landed, rolled once, and stopped, kneeling on one knee, staring intently at the man.

The man stood firm, unmoved, aloof and proud.

Wu was secretly alarmed to find that he had suffered a loss in the head-on confrontation.

His physical abilities doubled, his punching power approached 300 kilograms, and with the added impact of the arm armor and its hard material...

For most people, punching him is suicide.

Of course, he was no ordinary person. I just didn't expect that he could go head-to-head with the arm armor with his bare hands, exert tremendous force, and not retreat!

Wow! This person is much stronger than him.

At that moment, the person was leaning on a straight wooden stick, looking down from the roof of the car: "Hmm? You caught it?"

His voice was cold yet magnetic: "You saw through the illusion so quickly?"

"Is that not possible?" Wu Zhong asked solemnly, purple liquid condensing in his palm.

Without a doubt, these were the Lion Grass Mercenary Group members; their combat personnel had arrived.

Xia Heng's side has at least one scout and one illusion master, while here...

Upon hearing the commotion, Wu Zhong hurriedly turned around.

"Ah!"

Yang Chunsha screamed in agony as someone reached her side and twisted her arms behind her back.

Without saying a word, Wu Zhong unleashed his iron fist, which roared through the air.

The enemy easily seized control of Yangchunsha, but they never expected that Wu Zhong would be able to detect it.

Does this mean illusion magic is useless?

Although he was somewhat taken aback, he immediately drew his sword to parry. At this moment, Wu Zhong's iron fist had already struck, and the arm armor clashed with the short sword.

"Ding!"

The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out, and a small shockwave shook the air.

Wu Zhong couldn't even keep his footing and slid two steps.

Even with the arm armor dissipating a ton of impact force, this means that the force of this guy's slash exceeded a ton!
The second attacker was not masked, was very handsome, and looked like a supermodel.

But what he said was extremely vulgar: "Damn it, this piece of junk knife can't even withstand one hit? And you dare to sell it to me for 800,000?"

The short knife in his hand had broken at the point of impact, and the crack was still filled with a faint purple light and was slowly corroding.

Yang Chunsha was pinned down by him with one hand, but she did not struggle and her eyes were blank.

It seemed like I was seeing some terrifying hallucination.

Seeing that she was completely under the spell, the crude and handsome man slammed her to the ground and kicked her away without paying her any attention.

Immediately afterwards, he swung his hand with all his might and threw the broken sword, which shot towards Wu Zhong like a flying arrow.

"Whoosh!" A mournful howling sound echoed through the air.

Wu Zhong raised his palm and unleashed a purple-melting bullet.

"Oh!"

The broken blade exploded in mid-air, and the purple liquid even had residual force, splashing onto the opponent.

The opponent reacted quickly, pushing off with their foot and retreating several meters.

"Be careful, Cliff Cypress! He doesn't seem to be under any illusion!" the masked man said gravely.

His tone was tense, much like Xia Heng's cautious demeanor when facing an unknown enemy at 985.

The most terrifying enemy is the unknown one.

"Could he be a psychopath?" he murmured.

Upon hearing this speculation, both of them tensed up, as this was unexpected information.

Moreover, while those who resist mental resistance may seem to be purely defensive, this is not the case, as they have almost no purely mental resistance effects.

Mental resistance is a general term for an effect. For example, if someone can become a werewolf and go insane when they see a full moon, but is immune to other external forces that cause them to go insane except for a full moon, then we can say that this werewolf trait has a mental resistance effect.

Therefore, it is usually a function that comes along with a certain characteristic. In addition, mental resisters will adapt to many calamities with distorted costs and then shine brightly.

It is known that all the calamities standing at the top have some degree of psychological resistance, without exception.

People who are easily swayed by trivial matters will never reach the top...

This is practically a standard feature for big shots.

Without this, it's just a fleeting meteor, easily killed by someone's schemes.

"I don't believe it. How could so many mental resistances happen to us?"

"Captain, there's a guy over here who hasn't been hit yet. Forget about the woman, increase the pressure on this guy!"

The cliff cypress shouted, its voice echoing throughout the surrounding area.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Chunsha's eyes cleared, and she got up in surprise.

Seeing his book fall to the ground, he hurriedly reached for it.

"Gaba!"

Ya Bai gave a fierce laugh and casually kicked off one of her arms, followed by the woman's shrill scream.

"Ahhh! Help...help me..."

Yang Chunsha's face was contorted in pain, and tears streamed down her face.

"Shut up, calm down..." Wu Zhong slowly stood up straight, his single arm shrouded in a purple light, as he reprimanded the crying Yang Chunsha.

"You should remember from the first day you step into the world of disasters that no one can protect you forever."

“People must rely on themselves.”

He remained expressionless, but inside he was terrified.

These words are spoken to others, but also to oneself.

He had to rely on himself again, which made him very resentful. How did he end up fighting alone again?
Xia Heng was under an illusion spell and fought in the distance. Luo Yi was also under an illusion spell and went to support him. Yang Chunsha was easily defeated in one move.

On the contrary, he, a complete novice, managed to exchange a few blows with the attacker.

Now he's fighting two against one?
