"Voice of Temptation doesn't work on you? Then try this!"
The Ark Gang's cult leader snorted softly. The air around them suddenly turned cold, and ice flowers that defied the laws of physics formed in the air.
"Thunder!"
The Ark Gang's cult leader shouted.
A pale bolt of lightning suddenly tore through reality, twisting as it shot toward Zhou Yun, so fast that all anyone could see was a streak of white light.
Zhou Yun's figure flickered and vanished from where he stood.
That lightning had been fast, but the Ark Gang's cult leader took far too long to cast it.
Zhou Yun noticed that she seemed more skilled with psychic powers that controlled the mind, such as Voice of Temptation.
Psychic spells that unleashed lightning, frost, and fire, on the other hand, carried an air of inexperience and clumsiness.
Zhou Yun instantly appeared behind the Ark Gang's cult leader, the mechanical hand on his head pointing straight at her.
A powerful torrent of telekinetic force slammed into the Ark Gang's cult leader's back.
The Ark Gang's cult leader hurriedly turned around, gathered her will, and released psychic power, forming a flickering barrier of mental force.
The invisible telekinetic force collided with the mental barrier, kicking up gust after gust of hurricane-force wind.
Zhou Yun pulled open his robe again, revealing the gourd beneath his clothes.
"Pocket Tornado!"
A gray-black tornado five or six meters tall erupted from the gourd, sweeping up dust, garbage, and broken bricks from the ground as it surged menacingly toward the Ark Gang's cult leader.
"None of this has any psychic signature!"
The Ark Gang's cult leader raised one hand, directing her psychic power into an invisible hand to stop the tornado.
Her eyes filled with confusion.
Telekinesis, Instant Movement, air bullets, and this hurricane.
Every attack from the man wearing Rager's face seemed like the work of a thoroughly trained psyker.
Yet he did not have the slightest psychic signature. He was even a non-psyker.
Zhou Yun gave the Ark Gang's cult leader no time to think.
His figure flickered again, and he appeared behind the Ark Gang's cult leader in an instant.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
He imitated gunshots with his mouth, his fingertips aimed at the Ark Gang's cult leader.
Invisible bullets, powerful enough to knock an ordinary person unconscious instantly, shot out at high speed.
The Ark Gang's cult leader turned around in fury, grabbed the tornado, and hurled it at Zhou Yun. The invisible bullets were swallowed by the tornado.
The gourd at Zhou Yun's waist stirred, drawing the hurricane back inside.
"Love The Emperor, for He is humanity's savior!"
"Obey His words, for He will lead you into a bright future!"
The Ark Gang's cult leader drew a deep breath and poured the power of the Warp into her voice.
This time, she did not release Voice of Temptation, but a pure psychic shriek:
"Heed His wisdom, for He will protect you from evil!"
"Recite His prayers, for He can save your soul!"
Hymns praising The Emperor flowed from her mouth, instantly transforming into blades of sound that stabbed toward Zhou Yun.
The psychic-infused sound shook Zhou Yun, sending a burst of agonizing pain through every nerve in his body.
Seizing the opportunity, the Ark Gang's cult leader swung her arm fiercely again, and a bolt of thunder cut from the Warp into reality.
"Thunder!!!"
The thunder transformed into an arrow and surged toward Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun's figure once again became an afterimage and disappeared from where he stood.
Her casting truly showed her inexperience and clumsiness. The windup was too long; she could hardly hit Zhou Yun when he could teleport instantly.
Zhou Yun guessed that she was better at mind-control psychic powers. After all, few people in the lower hive could resist Voice of Temptation.
Here, an Empath's psychic abilities were far more useful than controlling lightning, fire, and frost.
"Your spells are so slow, and your aim is terrible. If you're bad, practice more!"
Zhou Yun appeared behind the Ark Gang's cult leader and taunted her.
At the same time, he focused his consciousness on his eyes, trying to use X-ray Vision to see the Ark Gang's cult leader's body structure clearly.
Since he could not tell from her appearance, he would look inside instead—
Then Zhou Yun saw an utterly flat plain.
"Fuck, that's fucking flat!" Zhou Yun blurted out.
"Huh?" The Ark Gang's cult leader froze on the spot.
Of the three superpowers—telekinesis, Instant Movement, and X-ray Vision—X-ray Vision was the one Zhou Yun was worst at.
He had originally wanted to examine the Ark Gang's cult leader's internal organs to determine whether she was a Genestealer.
But he had not expected to see through only one layer of clothing.
Noticing Zhou Yun's gaze, the Ark Gang's cult leader blinked, then instantly realized what was happening.
"X-ray Vision? You bastard!!!"
The Ark Gang's cult leader shouted in embarrassed fury.
Psychic power surged through her flesh and blood, and her figure immediately became an afterimage as she closed in on Zhou Yun.
Her fist swung at Zhou Yun, and Zhou Yun raised a hand to block—
Bang!!
Her fist slammed into the Body Clay covering Zhou Yun's body, twisting and deforming the clay-formed skin.
Zhou Yun was startled, and his body became an afterimage as he vanished from where he stood.
Mind control, lightning manipulation, flesh enhancement.
This woman knew quite a few psychic spells.
Though they were unsystematic and still revealed her clumsiness and inexperience.
That punch had clearly enhanced her flesh, turning her fist into a deadly weapon.
If the clay covering Zhou Yun's body had not provided some defense, especially against blunt impacts, that punch would have broken at least a few of his bones.
After noticing that, after taking her punch, Zhou Yun's skin merely developed strange wrinkles and twisted like clay that had been kneaded by a child.
"What kind of monster are you?!" The Ark Gang's cult leader sucked in a breath.
He resisted Voice of Temptation, could use Instant Movement to evade thunder, and had bizarre skin that could withstand punches.
The Ark Gang's cult leader could not help feeling afraid. What kind of monster was this?
She swung her arm again, forcibly dragging a bolt of thunder from the Warp and hurling it at Zhou Yun.
But Zhou Yun's figure flickered, and he vanished again.
"If you're bad, practice more. If you can't take losing, don't play."
Zhou Yun appeared some distance away and said mockingly.
"You bastard, if you hadn't been able to resist my Voice of Temptation—" The Ark Gang's cult leader said through clenched teeth.
"That was then. This is now." Zhou Yun shrugged and focused his will on his eyes.
The Ark Gang's cult leader steadied herself.
Mind control was useless. Warp lightning could not hit him. Pure physical attacks could barely hurt him.
She took a deep breath, and psychic power surged into her flesh and blood.
The Ark Gang's cult leader swung her fist and reached Zhou Yun in the blink of an eye.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Zhou Yun spat out three bangs, firing air bullets from his fingertips.
The Ark Gang's cult leader neither dodged nor evaded. She forcibly endured the dizziness caused by the bullets and charged right up to Zhou Yun.
Zhou Yun held his breath and focused, using X-ray Vision on the Ark Gang's cult leader.
A bolt of lightning rose from the Ark Gang's cult leader's fingertips.
This was not Warp lightning, but bioelectricity released by enhancing her nervous system, so fast that Zhou Yun had no time to dodge.
The Bright Feather School of the Thousand Sons, known for manipulating flesh with psychic power, also used this method to release psychic lightning. The Ark Gang's cult leader had reached the same result by a different path.
Her fist, wrapped in thunder, smashed heavily into Zhou Yun's face, scraping away layers of Body Clay.
Zhou Yun retreated several steps. His gaze at the Ark Gang's cult leader was somewhat dazed.
Not because of the tingling numbness from the bioelectricity on his face, but because—
"You're fucking not Chicken Thief! You're human??" Zhou Yun blurted out as he looked at the Ark Gang's cult leader's internal organs.
The Ark Gang's cult leader blinked in confusion, looking at the Body Clay falling from Zhou Yun's face and the human features revealed beneath it.
"You're human too?? Aren't you a lackey of the interstellar demons??" The Ark Gang's cult leader could not help blinking.
Brothers, join the group and become Chicken Thieves!
