Gedo did not have burst skills like Inoue that temporarily increased his strength, but his basic attributes, especially Spirit and Inspiration, were much higher than Inoue's.
As a fellow body cultivation type, Gedo's high Spirit and Inspiration meant he didn't have obvious weaknesses like Inoue. This was evident when Lily used [Power Surge (Inferior)] on him and the skill judgment actually failed.
A somewhat difficult opponent.
This was Lily's assessment of Gedo.
If she were to fight Gedo 1v1, she wouldn't be afraid of him at all, because Gedo's HP was only a fraction of hers. However, from the players' chaotic shouts just now, she knew that Yulia had also arrived, so she couldn't remain calm.
Previously, Yulia only needed to send out a clone to single-handedly fight a group of players, along with her, Yago, and Shino. What if she sent out her true body this time?
Must finish quickly!
"You dare to get distracted in front of me, you're seeking death!"
Gedo moved again. His feet slid, and his right hand dragged the blade, drawing a dazzling arc in the air. When he was three meters away from Lily, a sudden loud bang came from under his feet. With that thrust, his forward speed suddenly increased several times.
All of this happened extremely suddenly, and he was very sure that Lily absolutely could not dodge it.
Swish!
The blade grazed Lily's neck, but the imagined scene of a severed throat and splattering blood did not appear.
Gedo's pupils suddenly contracted.
What was going on? He felt as if he had cut into mud, not a neck.
Lily casually dropped the used [Psionic Shield] card on the ground. Gedo's strike directly chopped off over 170 points of her shield value. The shield value was not tied to her Constitution data, but even with her high Constitution of 61 points, taking such a blow without any defense would have cost at least forty to fifty points of health, along with bleeding and burning debuffs.
So what if the skill has a burning effect? I'll put a mask of pain on your face right now!
Lily, who still had three [Psionic Shield] cards, was not afraid at all.
She quickly pulled the trigger, and Anya, beside her, was not idle either. Her head locked on and her arm-mounted machine gun fired simultaneously, the bullets like the scythe of death.
Gedo had completely unexpected that his strike had not caused any damage to Lily. In his moment of shock, his face took a direct hit. Fortunately, he reacted in time, using his Chi to protect his face as much as possible. He dodged and weaved, constantly swinging the long blade in his hand to deflect the incoming bullets, which chased his footsteps, leaving a string of deep bullet holes in the wall.
-41
This was far from enough.
Lily advanced instead of retreating, charging towards the net of blade light woven by Gedo with her gun. Her stance looked even fiercer than that of the fearless players.
Gedo was amused by her audacity. It was his first time encountering such a reckless opponent.
But was recklessness useful?
His ability was not just simple hacking and slashing; the burning aura left on the enemy after each strike was his greatest reliance. When the burning aura accumulated to a certain degree (6 layers), it would detonate inside the enemy's body.
He and Lily fought in a chaotic brawl. After a few strikes, Lily's wristguard was shattered, and he also took two shots. The pain did not deplete his strength; instead, it stimulated him to fight even more fiercely.
"Yulia!"
Gedo shouted loudly.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With Yulia's blessing, he guaranteed he could completely lock down Lily with his blade light, then slowly whittle her down, like death by a thousand cuts.
However, to Gedo's surprise, even though he called out loudly, there was no response from Yulia's side.
Could it be that something had happened to Yulia?
He had just seen those few people from Four Directions run to intercept Yulia, but logically speaking, with the strength of those few from Four Directions, they should not be able to pose any substantial threat to Yulia.
Gedo was completely baffled.
Seizing the opportunity, Lily's left hand grabbed the incoming blade, enduring the instantaneous burst damage from 6 layers of burning with her [Psionic Shield], then activated Combat Etiquette.
"Oh no!"
Gedo sensed something was wrong, but it was completely too late to dodge. He was frozen in place, and Anya, who had already found her position, rushed forward.
There was nothing to fear, and nothing to hesitate about.
Anya, who grew up in the Abandoned Cooling Plant, had long been accustomed to dead bodies. She only knew that whoever intended to harm Lily, she would kill them.
Boom! Boom!
The power pump operated at high speed, and the power armor's iron fist smashed into the back of Gedo's head with an unstoppable force. Gedo's head was violently pushed forward, and his entire neck seemed to have been broken.
He didn't die; the body strength protected by Chi was not something ordinary people could compare to, but Lily was still waiting for him in front.
Lily snatched the blade and brought it down.
Gedo dodged in a panic. His speed was extremely fast, and despite being dizzy, he still avoided the fatal blow, but his arm ultimately could not escape the strike, being cut open and mangled, a truly horrific sight.
"Yulia!"
Gedo was completely enraged.
They had agreed on a two-on-one, but how did it turn into him fighting two people?
"What's the rush?"
At this moment, Yulia's voice and footsteps finally arrived.
Gedo endured the pain and turned around, only to see Yulia approaching with a group of controlled players.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was not too late.
"You hold her off, I need to stop the bleeding."
Gedo hurried towards Yulia.
Yulia said nothing, merely giving a look to the controlled players.
"Damn it, you bastard, you're actually going to control me to fight Lily."
The players immediately cursed, but no matter how much they cursed, their bodies still moved forward uncontrollably.
As they passed by Gedo, something almost everyone hadn't expected happened: Four Directions players simultaneously made a move, continuously pulling their triggers at Gedo.
Bang, bang, bang!
Gedo was completely unprepared and was riddled with bullets, collapsing to the ground without understanding what had happened.
Lily, Players: "!!!"
Yulia walked with elegant steps to stand opposite Lily, and the smile on her face began to spread.
"The annoying fellow is dead. Now, let's have a good talk."
Lily stared into Yulia's eyes, her excited gaze as if she wanted to devour her alive!
