Lin Qun had failed.
This Psionic Master's Physique exceeded 26 points!
All of Lin Qun's efforts had only blasted a burst of blood from the Opponent's body.
Perhaps only a chunk of skin and flesh had been blown off……
The power wasn't even as strong as the strike against that Black-armored minor leader before.
This meant the Opponent's Physique far exceeded 26 points, at least thirty as a starting point!
What kind of Monster was this?
The Bakatan Psionic Master's Body trembled slightly, and its counterattack came in the next instant.
The Streetlight beneath Lin Qun's feet instantly twisted out of shape, and he felt the air around him freeze solid in that instant, as if an invisible hand meant to close around him and crush him in its palm.
Lin Qun immediately leapt up high, jumping into the Darkness to one side.
The burst of blood that had just sprayed from the Psionic Master's body startled Jiang Bin and the others, who had been treating it as a formidable enemy.
This Psionic Master could freeze bullets fired at it in midair — who could hurt it in one hit like that?
And the location where Lin Qun had just been standing almost overlapped with Li Xinghe's location.
He instinctively thought of Li Xinghe!
But the Psionic Master's next move left him confused instead.
Because that Psionic Master's body drifted, and it actually moved at high speed straight toward the Darkness outside the Battlefield.
Under the control of an invisible force, a wrecked vehicle on the ground was lifted out of nowhere and hurled crashing into the Darkness. In the bursting firelight, one could faintly make out that the Psionic Master seemed to be chasing someone?
Even Jiang Bin was stunned for a moment.
That Psionic Master had appeared, yet it didn't strike at them, the Soldiers, nor at that expert Li Xinghe — instead it had run off chasing some unknown person?
Not only that, but several Bakatan people in that direction also seemed to have received Orders from that Psionic Master, suddenly changing direction, abandoning the Frontal battlefield, cooperating with the Psionic Master to surround and cut off that figure fleeing toward the dark, unmanned Shadow of the Residential Community!
That was an Order personally given by the Psionic Master — to corner that Human!
A large chunk of its face had been blown apart by Lin Qun, a mess of flesh and blood, making it look all the more horrifying, but it knew clearly that if it weren't so powerful, having already reached level 12 and being of Bakatan's most powerful Psionic Master profession, it might already be dead from that strike just now!
And it was certain that the Human might not even be level 10 yet!
Boundless potential.
It was the first time it had ever seen a Human like this, and it was deeply shaken. Then a thought surfaced: it had to kill him!
Snuff out this Human while he was still a seedling!
Otherwise, who knew how many Bakatan people would die at his hands in the future — even if the several hundred Humans here all got away, this one had to be killed!
To one side, two Bakatan Airships and ground troops were locked in fierce exchange of fire with two other squads of Warriors, confronting the Federation Soldiers and survivors.
But in this corner of the Battlefield, this group of Bakatan people had decisively abandoned their confrontation with Jiang Bin and the others, rapidly flanking around to surround and cut off Lin Qun. The Humans on this side, meanwhile, were bewildered for a moment, almost unaware of what was happening.
Only Li Xinghe, who had been trembling with fear the whole time, snapped out of his daze after a moment and abruptly reacted, jumping up from where he stood. "No good, we have to go help him!"
As he spoke, he ignored Wang Desheng's attempt to stop him and charged out on his own!
He had already figured it out.
These Bakatan people chasing to kill so desperately — it had to be that true big shot. He'd been hiding in the shadows, and he'd been discovered!
On the Battlefield, Li Xinghe had no time to think it through carefully; he only knew that big shot was a true expert, and if he died, none of the rest of them would have it easy!
Watching this scene, Jiang Bin seemed to be considering something, and he too urgently gave an Order, chasing right after him: "Everyone, listen up — whoever that person is, if the Bakatan people are willing to pay any price to kill him, then we're going to keep him alive!"
By this time, Lin Qun had already run deep into the Residential Community.
He was completely suppressed by that Bakatan Psionic Master.
The Opponent was extremely powerful, lifting those vehicles on the ground with Psionic Power and hurling them at Lin Qun like Cannonballs.
And once it closed to a certain distance, it could even use Psionic Power to directly affect Lin Qun's Body.
What was even more terrifying was that it flew through midair like something Ghostly, locked onto him relentlessly.
Lin Qun relied on Mario's super jump to barely drift along the edge of its ability's influence, but he was still on a knife's edge between Life and Death.
Those wrecked vehicles that missed him were, in the next instant, lifted again by the Psionic Master's ability and sent screaming toward him.
After several rounds of this, those vehicles were completely twisted out of shape, and each time they hit the ground, Wreckage and debris scattered everywhere, sheet metal flying like blades.
Lin Qun, caught off guard for a moment, was grazed by one of the vehicles.
His whole body was sent flying, slamming into the ground.
He looked down — his right leg was drenched in blood.
Had he been hit head-on, his bones would probably have shattered and his tendons snapped; he'd have been done for on the spot!
Of course, if Lin Qun hadn't already reached level 5, with all his Attributes surpassing human limits, even that graze would have been more than enough to lay him low.
But now, though he felt pain, his movement was barely affected — he could still run!
And up above, that Psionic Master still "drifted" toward him silently, its ugly face and eyes carrying an icy, indifferent chill, as though looking at a dead man.
It gave Lin Qun no chance to activate his ability.
The instant the two of them faced each other head-on, a wrecked vehicle twisted like a sledgehammer was flung straight at him.
Gritting his teeth, Lin Qun rolled across the ground and darted straight into an empty building to one side.
It was the three-story Property Management building of the Residential Community.
Right after that, a loud noise erupted behind him.
The wrecked car smashed straight through the wall and came crashing in.
Smoke and dust billowed.
Lin Qun collapsed at the stairwell, gasping violently, his heart pounding. He yanked a shotgun out of his Qiankun Bag and, without even aiming, fired off a shot with a flick of his hand, then bolted, fleeing upward toward the floors above.
He had already used up all his Trump Cards.
This Bakatan Psionic Master was too terrifying.
Its Physique far exceeded twenty-six points, too great a gap — his Headshot Ability could only blow off a chunk of flesh from its body……
Was he going to die?
Outside, the Psionic Master loomed from above, using Psionic Power to swing two wrecked cars like giant hammers, smashing them again and again into the building. Smoke and dust billowed, bricks flew everywhere. It seemed to be using some kind of synchronized translation device, speaking in human language, looking down from on high with a pity that carried the arrogance of a victor: "You've already walked into a dead end, Human. Where else do you think you can run?"
Indeed, this building only had three floors.
Even if he ran, where could he possibly go?
He was already being suppressed, and there was no way at all he could land a headshot on this powerful Psionic Master.
Right now, all he could do was keep bolting……
But even this was a dead end; the final result could only be being smashed to death.
Or torn apart by the Opponent's Psionic Power.
No…… there was still a chance…… still a chance!
Lin Qun's gaze shifted.
He had just killed a lot of Bakatan people and earned quite a few Contribution Points. Although he'd spent a good number of them on Energy Recovery Potions, he still had thirteen Contribution Points left.
He could do a Card Draw!
If he could draw some powerful Skill, maybe he could……
Outside, gunshots rang out.
Jiang Bin was leading his men in a covering assault, locked in fierce exchange of fire with the Bakatan people flanking around Lin Qun.
He also caught sight of the smoke-filled Property Management building and the Psionic Master hovering in midair.
That Psionic Master didn't even spare them a glance, still furiously bombarding the Property Management building!
Just who was this person, that a Bakatan Psionic Master would give him such importance?
And how could he hold out this long?
Lin Qun had been running deeper into the Darkness the whole time, so from Jiang Bin's angle, all he could see was the Psionic Master relentlessly pursuing and attacking — he couldn't see Lin Qun's frantic leaps, otherwise he would have long since realized who Lin Qun was.
Even so, Jiang Bin's gaze still hardened.
Whoever this Human was that the Psionic Master wanted to kill, they absolutely had to guarantee he survived!
At that very moment, Lin Qun was slumped on the floor of a second-story office, his back against the interior wall, gasping heavily for breath.
Explosions rumbled endlessly all around. Lin Qun's gaze shifted, and he rapidly spent 10 Contribution Points, activating his Card Drawing Ability — on the very edge of the line between Life and Death, an extreme, all-or-nothing Card Draw!
A Card appeared.
On it was written, unmistakably:
【Name: Arbitrary Attribute Card】
【Type: Bonus Card（Consumable）】
【Bonus Card Grade: F-rank.】
【Description: Using this Card grants five points of Attribute value that can be freely distributed, usable to boost any Attribute.】
Lin Qun's pupils contracted violently.
This was……
An Attribute Boost Card that let him add points directly to his Attributes!
Agility, Strength, Physique, Energy — pick one, and add five points to it directly!
