043. Arrogance and Jealousy

Bang bang bang bang!

Yavanna fired both guns simultaneously, but Li Aozzi's movements were ghostly. The moment she lifted her wrist, Li Aozzi anticipated where she would aim and deftly sidestepped her shots.

Gravity drive.

At the same time, the iron chain in his hand swung like a black serpent, swiftly spinning and dancing in the air.

Crack—

Yavanna's eyes narrowed, and she stopped firing just in time.

She quickly realized that the rapidly whirling chain around Li Aozzi would deflect bullets. Instead of wasting ammunition, she decided to wait for an opportunity.

The fleeting moment of battle passed, and Li Aozzi silently praised her for being smart. Under the influence of the gravity field, the chain moved in a circular motion.

Normally, the chain's whip effect would transfer energy through each link, eventually reaching the increasingly smaller tip, where it could exceed the speed of sound.

But that wasn't enough.

With the gravity field's enhancement, Li Aozzi's grey eyes lit up with golden rings.

He skillfully applied the gravity field solely to the chain. As the chain's end swung out, he instantly changed its direction, increasing the gravity and acceleration. The chain's tip instantly exceeded four times the speed of sound!

Whoosh!

The sonic boom was crisp and pleasant, creating a white mist in the air that quickly dispersed. Yavanna, her nerves taut, rolled to the ground, avoiding the fierce strike. The high-speed friction caused the chain to glow red as it cleanly sliced open a seam in the car's roof.

Opportunity!

Once the long chain was deployed, retracting it became extremely troublesome. Yavanna knelt on one knee, stepping on the chain with her boot, raising her left hand to aim her gun at Li Aozzi.

Buzz—ding!

Li Aozzi nonchalantly tilted his head, the bullet grazing his ear. Trying to shoot accurately while standing on a moving vehicle was wishful thinking.

"Good combat awareness, but lacking experience."

If it were players, they would quickly realize that fighting a gravity-powered mutant wasn't as effective with guns.

Whether it was short-range maneuverability or countering flying projectiles, gravity powers were incredibly useful.

If Li Aozzi wanted, he could use gravity to lift his opponent's arm, leaving it stuck above their head.

Or he could reverse the gravity, making the female agent fly backward like a kite.

As for bullets, arrows, and spears, Li Aozzi could simply alter the gravity, making them curve around him.

Of course, if someone used certain hypersonic weapons, he'd have no counter. His current control over gravity wasn't developed enough to deflect such high-speed projectiles.

The best way to deal with a gravity user was to close the distance and engage in close combat. A warrior could activate their super armor and launch a combo attack; it was either kill or be killed.

Clearly, this female agent lacked the experience and awareness for such tactics.

Li Aozzi casually twisted his wrist, the gravity pulling the chain to wrap around her ankle like a venomous snake.
