Chapter 302 Confrontation
Chapter 302 Confrontation
A brilliant light converged from the center of his pupils, and Tu Hao knew that this was a laser beam prepared solely for him, the intruder.
Looking around, he saw a churning pool of blood beneath his feet, gears beside him capable of shredding a person to pieces, and the only point of support for his entire body was the half-section of steel bar in his hand.
This time, he had no way to avoid it.
Sweat instantly soaked his back, and the oppressive feeling of death made Tu Hao feel both hot and cold.
...Wait, why is it hot?
He turned his head to look behind him and saw that the flesh-colored shell had turned red from the heat.
A massive beam of fire burst through the mutant's body and surged from behind him.
Tu Hao stopped breathing; his green eyes could see nothing but flames.
The expected burning did not come. The rushing fire seemed to abruptly change direction the moment it touched him, suddenly rushing past his sides and perfectly avoiding him.
At the same time, the divine laser beam was also fired.
The two enormous energy beams collided, resulting in a violent explosion at the point of intersection.
The terrifying shockwave shattered everything inside. Tu Hao, powerless to resist, was swept away by the airflow and flew directly out of the burned hole, only stopping when he crashed into the thorns in the distance, falling straight to the ground.
Ling immediately acted, using thorns to wrap around his body and bring him down safely.
The thorns were withdrawn, and Tu Hao knelt on the ground, coughing up blood. His exposed skin was covered with cuts and burns from the airflow, and his clothes were scorched in several places. He looked utterly wretched.
A wave of dizziness washed over him. He looked up and, through his blurred vision, saw the black-haired woman standing on the thorns with her back to him. A massive barrier of burning wind stood before her, and surging flames were continuously rushing towards the deformed man's body.
She is using her superpowers to withstand the lasers inside.
Miao Yin was completely bathed in the flames, and the supernatural power flowing on the hem of her clothes was like molten gold, reflected in her boundless black pupils, burning with an almost cruel madness.
Faced with such a powerful laser beam, even if she pushed her abilities to the limit, at most both sides would be injured. But Miao Yin didn't care at all and just kept unleashing her power, determined to fight the divine punishment to the death.
The mutated man's enormous body trembled, and every bone in his body screamed.
"White Snake, retreat!" Ling noticed something was wrong and shouted at the White Snake.
Fortunately, the white snake also realized the danger. The body coiled beneath her was getting hotter and hotter, as if it was about to explode.
Its body loosened, shrinking in mid-air. The two-meter-long white snake slid off Tianqian's body and leaped away into the distance.
Without the White Snake's restraint, Thorn's pressure increased exponentially.
Ling bit her lip until it bled, and amidst the pervasive stench of blood, she increased the output of her supernatural power, causing even more thorns to entwine Tianqian's body.
The collision of energy finally reached its peak, and an intense light shone within the mutated human's body. With a deafening roar, the fire mixed with the laser of technology exploded completely.
The half of Miao Yin's body closest to her was instantly blasted apart, and half of the mountain was also blasted away by the energy wave. The mountain collapsed and the earth trembled, and even the river water surged.
The thorns were all pulverized, but the mutated man's enormous body was forced back dozens of meters by the explosion before crashing to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Miao Yin's figure disappeared from the spot when the heat wave hit, while Ling was also sent flying a distance because he couldn't dodge in time.
Tu Hao staggered to his feet, his injuries rapidly healing, leaving only some black dust behind. He touched his face to clear his head.
The curse has not been broken, and Miao Yin is still alive.
Even the divine punishment didn't die; the battle isn't over yet.
He braced himself and ran toward the deformed man.
It was just injured by Miao Yin, so now might be a good opportunity.
"The crystal core is in its heart!" Tu Hao shouted to the people who had just crawled out of the thorns.
Before Ling could even catch her breath, she immediately manipulated the Snow Thorns to go with him.
Before they even reached the mutant, they saw it twist its head back to its original position, the muscles on the top of its head bulging, and its scarlet eyes turned back and opened again.
An eerie red mist spread from its chest, rapidly healing its wounds. The black liquid solidified into metal, rebuilding its body.
The weeds on the ground withered quickly upon contact with the mist, but Tu Hao did not stop at all. He went straight into the red mist, attempting to enter its body once more.
But this idea ultimately failed.
White currents flowed through the metal casing, firmly protecting the deformed person's body and preventing anything from hindering its repair.
Tu Hao had barely taken a step closer when he was knocked back by the electric current.
His face darkened as he looked at the large black marks left by the electric shock on the ground.
The fire phoenix landed, dispersing a large amount of mist. Tu Hao turned his head and saw Miao Yin landing behind him.
The woman, who had just unleashed her supernatural powers, had a rosy complexion, and her dark pupils held no trace of human warmth. At first glance, it was difficult to distinguish her from a monster.
"I touched its crystal core, but I can't get it out. It has the structure of a nuclear bomb inside," Tu Hao reported to her.
"The crystal core is its life. It will use every means to stop you. What just happened was only one of its moves." Miao Yin raised her hand to touch the red mist, but the Barrier of All Things faithfully blocked the disaster from entering.
Tu Hao's expression turned serious: "This is really difficult."
In his original plan, such a huge body would be unable to resist the binding force of gravity, let alone care about him, a human only the size of an ant.
With a powerful offensive ability user like Miao Yin fighting it from the outside, and Ling and Bai Niangzi providing assistance, he could take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the mutant and directly extract its crystal core.
The first part of the plan was successfully achieved, and Miao Yin cooperated with him as always.
But he was blasted out at the last step, which was really frustrating.
“Don’t underestimate its intelligence; its growth rate far exceeds your imagination,” Miao Yin said. “The speed of its laser emission is getting faster and faster.”
The right method is suited to the right enemy. Calamities that are born superior to their kind never need to expend so much effort to fight.
Miao Yin clearly sensed that many of the opponent's moves were being used for the first time.
So, as can be seen with the naked eye, from its initial unfamiliarity and slowness, its ability has become more and more flexible, like a rusty heavy machine that is quickly being filled with oil to remove the rust spots.
Tu Hao sneered: "If we act like we're going to die, we'll just become his experience points."
In the sky, countless fireballs lit up, densely covering everything.
Miao Yin's fingertips were bright red, and her eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent.
"You have to pay me back whatever amount you've taken from me."
The fireball spun in the sky, like a giant machine gun firing bullets at the mutants.
Hundreds and thousands of streams of fire shot out, striking its body and inflicting new wounds on its already healed shell.
The crimson beast's eyes blinked slowly as it gazed at the sky, giving it an unexpected resemblance to a church sacrifice.
Red mist was exhaled from his mouth, an invisible force emanating and vibrating before sinking to the bottom of the river.
The surging Qingshui River suddenly became turbulent, with waves crashing high and smashing through the dam!
The floodwaters overflowed the warning line and instantly surged onto the ground, submerging the weapons depot.
"Ayin, come up here!" Ling shouted loudly.
Thick thorns climbed up, and the two stood on them, quickly leaving the ground.
Miao Yin looked back and saw that the army had obviously also noticed the situation and was running back to the half of the mountain that they had just bombed.
Ling hadn't forgotten them, and Jingji immediately brought them all along, landing them on the hilltop.
The river water rose higher and higher, splashing all over the firewood.
The fire could not be extinguished by water. So, the moment the river water came into contact with the fire, a large amount of water vapor appeared, and white mist filled the entire armory area.
The water flow effectively blocked the view and reduced the damage caused by the fire.
Amidst a white expanse of steam, Tianqian rose to his feet.
Dark clouds obscured the sun, and after a clap of thunder, a heavy rain began to fall.
An environment most unfriendly to fire-type ability users has emerged.
Being targeted, Miao Yin's lips curled into an even more maniacal smile after being provoked. She waved her hand, retracting the fireball and no longer wasting her supernatural power.
The colossal beast stood amidst the white mist, its black form exuding an immense sense of oppression.
It opened its mouth and let out a low sigh.
