Hunter of Immortals

Chapter 155: Photographs and Selling Meat

All anomalies had their own unique attributes, and that was something that Adam was well aware of. Hence, it was no surprise to him that the anomaly of horror was particularly sensitive to danger.

.

In fact, it would've been very strange if an anomaly of this nature didn't have acute senses when it came to danger.

The anomaly of horror was getting closer and closer, and right as Adam was considering whether it was best to seize the initiative and spring into action, the anomaly suddenly stopped.

"Hold on, I can't go look for myself. If there's actually someone here, I'll be exposing myself directly to them!" With that in mind, the anomaly of horror quickly returned to the butcher's side, then said with a fawning expression, "Go and take a look over there for me. I can sense danger from that direction."

The anomaly of horror's sharp fingernail was pointed directly at Adam's hiding spot.

"There's no way there's any danger here," the butcher scoffed in a dismissive manner.

"Go and take a look for me, and I'll give you something good in return." The anomaly of horror picked out some photos from its communicator as it spoke. "You were saying that your customers like to pick out their food, and that the younger and more beautiful the victims are, the higher their meat will sell for, right? How about this? You go and take a look over there for me, and I'll send all of these photos to you."

"That sounds good to me."

The butcher nodded with a pleased expression as he examined the photos.

After looking through the photos, the butcher casually strode toward Adam's hiding spot, and Adam knew that he and Fighter Li couldn't remain concealed any longer. Thus, he abruptly activated his Lights Out ability as soon as the butcher got close, plunging the entire area into complete darkness.

Within the darkness, Adam was still able to see everything, and he immediately lashed out at the butcher with his sharp claws.

In his mind, the butcher had already completely renounced his humanity, so he should've been an anomaly as well. Hence, Adam was attacking with all his might, yet his claws passed through the butcher's body like hot knives through butter, and his physical resistance wasn't superior at all to an average person's.

Adam was rather perplexed by this.

Could it be that in Sithu's mind, he's not an anomaly? Could it be that he's a good person in Sithu's eyes?

There was no one to answer that question.

As the butcher's body was sliced into shreds, and the entire area was plunged into darkness, the anomaly of horror's anxiety completely boiled over, and it instantly began to flee for its life.

At the same time, a flash of golden light appeared above the anomaly before striking it on the leg.

"How are you able to see in the dark?" Adam asked with an intrigued expression as he looked at the anomaly of horror, which had fallen to the ground.

As he was speaking, the effects of his Lights Out ability gradually wore off, and the surrounding area was illuminated by the bright white industrial lights once again.

"After my match against you, I trained my ability to fight in the dark. That's quite a common environment that I could run into in battles, and if I can't get used to battling in such an environment, then that would be a major weakness," Fighter Li explained as he slowly descended from the ceiling before landing on the ground as quietly and elegantly as a cat.

"That's amazing," Adam couldn't help but praise. "If you were an adapter, you would definitely become even more powerful than Taoist Bean Army."

"I don't set anyone as a target for myself. My only targets are the opponents in front of me."

Fighter Li was intently scrutinizing the anomaly of horror in front of him. Up to this point, the anomaly had displayed nothing but cowardice and weakness, but Li wasn't taking it lightly at all, and he was still completely focused on the battle at hand.

"I knew there was an ambush! There's danger at every turn! Hold on, I feel like I've seen you two somewhere before..." The anomaly seemed to have some type of recollection of Adam and Fighter Li. "I remember you two! You tried to kill me last time!"

The anomaly of horror screamed in alarm before fleeing once again.

In the beginning, Adam and Fighter Li were able to keep up with its speed, but as it ran, its limbs grew longer and longer, allowing it to run faster and faster. Soon, the sleeves of its pants and shirt were unable to contain its limbs any longer, and it began to crawl away like a spider at an extremely fast speed.

"It's going to get away at this rate! We have to disrupt it!"

Fighter Li thrust his palms through the air as he spoke, releasing bursts of force that struck the anomaly's long and spindly limbs to strike it down once again.

At the same time, Adam unleashed two of his abilities in conjunction with one another, namely Fountain of Contamination and Disconcerting Screech.

A sharp screech that scattered the listener's mind rang out, while huge volumes of black sewage gushed out of his cavernous mouth.

After absorbing a part of the gargoyle anomaly's power, none of Adam's anomalies had evolved, but all of them had become significantly more powerful.

As a result, Nun had developed from a middling level two anomaly into a very powerful level two anomaly.

At this stage, Adam was completely able to handle the burden of using these two abilities in unison. He could feel his stamina dropping, but the effect wasn't very pronounced at all.

The waves of sewage were propelled by the soundwaves as they swept directly toward the anomaly of horror.

Right as the anomaly of horror was about to clamber up from the ground, it was inundated by the wave of black sewage, causing it to howl with pain.

Its voice was filled with horror and agony, and it was on the verge of a mental breakdown, but Adam could clearly see that despite its violent reaction, it's injuries weren't very severe at all. It seemed that it was simply scared, more than anything else.

Fighter Li had clearly also identified this, and he immediately sprang up into the air before unleashing a string of countless palm thrusts in rapid succession. Immediately thereafter, he removed the conical hat on his head, then injected a large amount of inner power into it before hurling it at the anomaly of horror like a frisbee.

The conical hat was rapidly revolving as it flew through the air, and its edge was glowing with golden radiance.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

The anomaly of horror frantically tried to dodge the conical hat, but the hat swerved around mid-flight as if it were being remote-controlled, changing directions sharply to sever the anomaly of horror's head before flying back into Fighter Li's grasp like a boomerang.

"I'm going to die! I don't want to die!"

Despite the fact that it had been decapitated, the anomaly of horror was screaming louder than ever, and its body scooped its head on its own, while its face had become so twisted with fear that it was completely unrecognizable.

Its screams of horror were so loud and ghastly that even Adam and Fighter Li were struck by a very pronounced sense of discomfort.

It was as if all of their courage had been instantly sapped away, leaving them with only one thought, and that was to flee for their lives.

What a powerful cyberhex!

Adam knew that this was one of his opponent's abilities, but he still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and he really did begin to flee the scene in a blind panic.

Fighter Li's situation was much the same. He was also beginning to flee despite his best efforts to remain rational, but while he was running away, he was also chanting a clarity mantra, and after completing the mantra, he abruptly thrust both of his palms straight into his own forehead.

"Remain calm!" Li roared as he drew to an abrupt halt.
