Brian Bolton flipped onto the car and suddenly slashed his knife at William Carter. William Carter, not yet steady on his feet, hurriedly dodged to the side. The bedsheet carrying David Clark was cut in half by Brian Bolton's knife.

Brian Bolton sliced through the bedsheet with one stroke. While William Carter was still unsteady, he suddenly kicked David Clark off the car, sending him crashing hard into the Asura.

"Guodong!" William Carter steadied himself and quickly reached out to grab David Clark. Brian Bolton took the opportunity to kick William Carter in the back: "You get off too!"

William Carter's right hand grabbed at nothing. He quickly dodged the sneak attack from behind and punched Brian Bolton in the face: "Damn you! How many lives are you going to use as shields just to save your own skin? Stop the car!"

Brian Bolton's nose was crushed, his face covered in blood, but he looked completely unconcerned and mumbled, "Trash can only be used to block the enemy—that's their value in this world. If your life was threatened, you'd abandon me too. It's the same logic."

"Scum! I'll chop you up first!" William Carter gripped the fire axe in his hand and swung it fiercely at Brian Bolton, shouting, "Stop the car!"

Lauren Harris ignored William Carter's shouting and suddenly floored the gas pedal, speeding toward the main gate.

Brian Bolton quickly rolled away to dodge, but felt a sharp pain in his right arm. Looking down, he saw his entire right arm had been chopped off by the fire axe.

"Stop the car!" William Carter roared, raising the axe and hacking at the front passenger seat, shouting, "Or I'll chop you up too!"

"Humans! No need to stop the car!" The Asura caught up with the car in a few leaps. David Clark clung tightly to the Asura, unable to slow it down at all.

"What kind of monster is this?" William Carter once again raised the axe and smashed it at the Asura: "Die!"

The Asura lifted its left arm and swatted the axe from William Carter's hand, then reached out with its right hand to grab William Carter, shouting, "It's useless! Useless! Just be my subordinate."

The fire axe flew from William Carter's hand high into the air, and he lost his balance. With all his strength, he threw a punch with his left hand, desperately trying to injure the Asura before dying.

The Asura's expression changed dramatically, and it quickly withdrew its outstretched right hand! Suddenly, a dazzling burst of fire exploded out of nowhere between the two of them. The Asura flipped back to the ground, looking at William Carter in surprise and saying, "Esper!"

William Carter was equally shocked, staring at his own left hand: "I'm an esper?" In that instant, he had clearly felt a warm current surge into his left hand.

"Since you're an esper, I definitely can't let you go!" The Asura's expression changed. Remembering the strange power William Carter had just unleashed—something only the strong could see—it immediately charged toward the car: "Stop right there!"

"Come on, power!" William Carter threw a punch into the air, but the Asura grinned: "So you don't actually know how to use your power."

Unable to unleash his power, William Carter looked down at Brian Bolton, who was groaning in pain, and said, "Aren't you the one who likes to use others as shields? Now you can see what it feels like yourself!"

Brian Bolton showed a trace of disdain and weakly said, "So? Didn't I say you'd use me as a shield too? The value of the weak is to set off the strong."

William Carter grabbed Brian Bolton by the collar, pulled him up, and stared fiercely into his eyes: "I'm throwing you out not because you're weak, but to let you know what it feels like to be abandoned!"

Brian Bolton gave a powerless smile and retorted, "Isn't it the same?"

William Carter lifted Brian Bolton over his head and roared, "If you think it's the same, then let it be the same! Scum! Go to hell!"

"Scum!" The Asura's face turned cold as it suddenly swung its left arm. In an instant, the Asura's left arm was covered in a layer of shiny, tiny scales. The muscular arm doubled in size, and a row of sharp bone spurs grew along the outside. Its hand instantly transformed into a claw like that of a dinosaur.

"Primitive Asura?!" Brian Bolton's face was full of shock as he crashed into the Asura's monstrous left arm. In an instant, his body was split in two, and the intestines and organs hidden in his belly, along with a spray of blood, scattered through the air.

The Asura turned to look at the upper half of Brian Bolton's body, lying on the ground and doomed to die, and smiled slightly: "At least you know something."

"Heh... To die at the hands of the top Asura... it's worth it..." Brian Bolton spat out a mouthful of blood, and the zombies following behind immediately pounced on him, gnawing hungrily at the fresh meat.

William Carter picked up the hunting knife Brian Bolton had used and shouted at the Asura, who was running toward him with David Clark on its back: "Lauren Harris! Stop the car! I have to save my brother!"

"You're no match for the Asura. If you stay, you'll just die with him." Lauren Harris kept slamming the gas pedal, carefully choosing paths without zombies blocking the way.

"No need to worry, I'm coming!" The Asura closed in on the car again with a few quick movements.

"Die!"

William Carter roared like thunder, the broad-bladed hunting knife in his hand slicing through the air with a howling wind, carrying a deadly aura straight for the Asura's forehead.

Clang!

The broad-bladed hunting knife struck the Asura's raised left arm. William Carter felt a numbing pain from the recoil in both arms, and the high-quality hunting knife instantly shattered into pieces under the force of the collision, flying through the air as fragments of iron.
