Chapter 42: Rebellious and Violent

Already weakened, the mushroom person, constrained by the power of the whirlwind, was completely powerless to resist.

With precision, Li Wei used the short knife in his hand to plunge into the location of the mushroom person's human-like nose.

The cut was deep, dealing a fatal blow to the mushroom person.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, Li Wei picked upward with the blade, and the mushroom person's two eyes were gouged out by Li Wei's knife.

The proof of hunting for this prey, the commission certificate, was its pair of eyes.

Now that Li Wei had the commission certificate in his hands, it meant that the struggle for the prey ended with the victory of Li Wei and Cai Yutong.

At this moment, Wells certainly couldn't come to snatch the spoils from Li Wei; the Hunter's Guild had clear rules about this.

The guild tacitly accepted competition among hunters for commissions. This tacit attitude was essentially to improve the completion rate of commissions. The more hunters involved in handling a commission, the higher the chances of success.

Of course, there were downsides to this approach. It could affect the efficiency of resource utilization and lead to some open or hidden conflicts among hunters. But overall, competition brought more benefits than drawbacks. The guild turned a blind eye to the side effects of competition, as long as things didn't get too out of hand.

However, after the completion of a commission, any further dispute among hunters would be considered crossing the line.

While competition was encouraged to increase the completion rate of commissions, turning it into malicious competition would greatly harm the interests of all hunters, which was strictly prohibited. If such behavior was discovered, the Hunter's Guild would deal with it very severely, and it was behavior that was despised by all colleagues.

So it was common to see two hunters fighting fiercely to complete the last step of a commission, but if one side really completed the commission, the fight would immediately stop.

Therefore, when Cai Yutong saw Li Wei take the mushroom person's eyes, representing that the commission had definitely fallen into her hands, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She said to Wells, who had just broken free from Li Wei's whirlwind, "You lost this time, Wells, hurry up and take your people back!"

"Lost? You say I lost?" Wells lifted his head, his voice low as he retorted.

Li Wei felt that this guy's state seemed a bit off, so he secretly raised his guard. However, before he could remind Cai Yutong behind him, he saw Wells, not far from him, suddenly exuding a violent aura, and a tangerine-colored vortex rose on his brass knuckles.

His eyes were bloodshot, his neck veins bulged, and he charged forward rapidly!

Li Wei swung his knife to block, the short blade striking Wells' fist.

With a clang, Li Wei's knife was knocked aside, and his hand was numbed by the impact.

This guy's strength was really too great!

Wells' punch deflected Li Wei's knife, and he followed up with a tackle. In an instant, Li Wei felt as if he had been hit by a speeding car, his whole body flying out.

"Get out of the way! Scum! Don't block the way!" Wells roared loudly, not pursuing Li Wei, but glaring at Cai Yutong with hatred as he charged towards her!

Cai Yutong's complexion changed. She screamed, "Are you crazy?!"

"To hell with being crazy!" Wells cursed, "They say I'm not as good as you, they say you're the rising star, to hell with those blind fools! I'm going to prove that I'm the number one hunter of the Clover Branch! A little girl like you, go home and feed milk, why should you stand in my way?"

Under a string of curses, Wells rushed fiercely towards Cai Yutong.

The girl never expected such a turn of events. She raised her gun, firing several bullets in rapid succession. Some of the bullets were explosive rounds, which caused some damage to the strong-bodied guy, creating a spray of blood, but it didn't stop his charge. As for the best chance to stop him, the ice crystal bullet, it was smashed away by his fist.

Backing away, Cai Yutong discarded her gun and took out a cylindrical object about the length of her forearm but as thick as a thigh, wrapped in cloth, from her waist. But before she could unwrap the cloth, Wells was already upon her.

Raising his fist high, Wells said madly, "You're only deciding to show your true abilities now? It's too late!"

Cai Yutong stared at Wells' fist. With the punching power Wells possessed, what would happen if it landed on her head? She dared not imagine the scene that would follow.

But his fist never came down in the end.

A huge blue demon claw suddenly struck from behind him, grabbing him by the neck and pulling him back. The moment before, Wells had been like a fierce tiger, but now he was being pulled back in mid-air.

The claw twisted in mid-air, turning his whole body around, and also allowing him to see the manipulator of the claw: Li Wei!

Li Wei's left hand, which had been concealed under bandages all along, had now revealed its true form. The red and blue intertwined left arm looked as ferocious as a roaring monster. The blue demonic claw was precisely composed of the demonic energy emanating from this arm!

"Scum, shut up," Li Wei's voice was calm, cold. He wouldn't shout like Wells, but real threats were never determined by the volume of one's voice!

His demonic left hand clenched into a fist, and as the demonic claw grabbed Wells and then disappeared, his left fist slammed fiercely into his face.

Blood gushed from his nose, and Wells' body was sent flying several meters away. Cai Yutong, who was far away, finally had a chance to react. She held a small handheld cannon that she had just taken out, and the muzzle emitted a blue light, directly hitting Wells in mid-air.

It was a pure energy cannon, more powerful than the runic hand grenade she had thrown earlier.

Watching Wells being blasted away, Li Wei moved his neck slightly and revealed a smile. "Comfortable."

Just now, Wells' tackle was indeed powerful. If it had been someone else, even someone slightly weaker in the extreme layers, they would probably have had a rib or two broken.

In reality, Li Wei didn't fare too well from that impact either; the mage armor he wore was shattered as a result. But it was precisely because of the existence of the mage armor that saved his life. Without the enhanced defense level brought by the mage armor, that tackle might have directly caused him severe injuries.

Wells, with his rebellious and violent nature, had indeed directly threatened his life just now. There was no room for mercy in Li Wei's heart for such a guy.
