Chapter 2105 I Won’t Hear I
In the brutal and savaging roars, Wuying Lan’s green flames of spiritual energy branched and darted into the black fog, limiting Li Yao’s zone of activity.
Li Yao bellowed. The translucent black crystal suit suddenly dispersed into a hundred clones that attacked Wuying Lan from all directions at the same time.
Laughing in amusement, Wuying Lan blinked into a hundred blurred shadows too!
For the experts of Li Yao and Wuying Lan’s levels, the so-called “clones” and “blurred shadows” were not as simple as ungrounded illusions but amalgamations of the will, spirit, soul, and even strength of their own bodies. They boasted equally shocking damages too!
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
The hundred “Li Yaos” and the hundred “Wuying Lans” were engaged in close-distance combat in midair. The hundreds of blasts they raised further added to the chaos of the spot that had already simmered to the limits. At first look, it was almost like two armies in identical clothes were colliding.
Suddenly—
“Gotcha!” Wuying Lan roared.
The structures that were similar to the shell protruded on his crystal suit and spurted out abundant air masses, further increasing his speed to a higher level, before he grabbed the arms of one of the “Li Yaos” and exerted his strength!
Shua! Shua! Shua!
The hundred “Li Yaos” and “Wuying Lans” immediately dispersed. All the clones and the blurred shadows returned to their original bodies. In the middle of the soaring flames, there was only one last Li Yao left who was suppressed tightly by Wuying Lan, who was three times larger than himself.
The arms of the two parties were deeply entangled with one another. It was purely a competition of brute force!
“Hehe!”
The air currents spurting out of the gaps of Wuying Lan’s crystal suit formed smoke that was as thick as cement. Even his crystal suit could no longer hold back the expansion of his muscles and began to fall into pieces.
The floor below his feet that were made of superalloys and as hard as diamonds were spread out in ripples with his feet as the center, as if it were a wet swamp.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Li Yao’s hands were moved away by him with brute force, and his joints were twisted in the opposite direction. Both the crystal suit and the bones were letting out blood-freezing noises of contortions!
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
The bloody wings on Li Yao’s back, like a second pair of hands, waved sharp feathers as they attacked Wuying Lan in two streaks of redness.
At the back of Wuying Lan’s crystal suit, sharp appendages that looked like the forelegs of a mantis also ejected out. Blurring into thousands of shadows, they had countless clashes with Li Yao’s bloody wings in midair within half a second, raising noises that could break one’s eardrums and sparks that were scattered but dazzling.
“Cell Obliteration Cannon!”
Unable to move his arms anymore, Li Yao opened the breastplate again and shot Wuying Lan right in the chest.
However, the attack that was launched in a hurry did not cause much damage to the opponent. It only added to Wuying Lan’s animality.
The shell on the highly-rising shoulder of the ugly crystal suit was wide open, revealing the honeycomb-type flying sword launchers that bombarded Li Yao with hundreds of mystic rays. Li Yao was blown back right into the fog.
Li Yao seemed unable to hold it any longer and began to run away.
“You know the feeling of fear now?”
Wuying Lan sneered, “It’s a pity that it is too late!”
His body was as cumbersome as a combination of a dinosaur and a gorilla, but he was more agile than the swiftest hummingbird. Turning into a streak of greenness, he simply blew Li Yao away from the black fog. Before Li Yao hit the ground, he had already dashed to the landing point in advance and attacked heavily again!
After almost ten blows, Li Yao had nowhere to run to at all like a pebble in a transparent box!
BOOM!
After the continuous strikes, cracks appeared on the translucent black crystal suit. Li Yao seemed to have been pushed into desperation. Roaring in both anger and embarrassment, he spurted out the most violent crimson flames of spiritual energy, which embroiled the broken pieces of crystal suit and the remnants of magical equipment units on the ground and darted them at Wuying Lan like a storm!
Sensing Li Yao’s agitation, Wuying Lan was even more secretly overjoyed. He also expanded his flames of spiritual energy to the maximum. In the techniques of “remote manipulation”, he picked up countless metal scraps from around and shot them at Li Yao too!
The metal pieces controlled by the two parties carried their abundant spiritual energy. When they rubbed the air at a super high speed, they immediately raised the most colorful brilliance.
It was almost like the collision of two most splendid meteor shows, where ten thousand complicated hues and shades were caused.
The metal pieces of the two pieces continued changing the trajectories and the angles in the most unpredictable way while blocking the enemy’s pieces. “Dazzling” was far from enough to describe one-millionth of the splendor of their competition!
Such remote manipulation in the blink of an eye was a heavy burden for the soul and the computational ability.
Very soon, Li Yao fell backward as if his soul and his computational ability could not sustain it longer. His “meteor shower” was obviously scattered and lackluster, and he was hit by the clusters of metal pieces the size of fists under Wuying Lan’s control. Vomiting blood crazily, he crashed to the floor.
The “meteor shower” controlled by Li Yao suddenly dispersed and spattered in all directions.
Wuying Lan’s “meteor shower”, on the other hand, was highly compressed. In the shape of an unstoppable saber, it was locked onto Li Yao tightly, enshrouded and boosted by green flames of spiritual energy.
Wuying Lan stood in midair and stared down at Li Yao coldly from the high stance. Closing his right hand, he raised it slowly as if it were a saber.
Right then, the nerves in Wuying Lan’s eyes suddenly cramped crazily.
He discovered that the mysterious person who claimed to be a “Cultivator” happened to crash right below the device that was suspected to be a super crystal bomb next to the main reactor.
The short but fierce battle between the two of them actually only lasted one minute. There was still two minutes and nine seconds to go on the countdown.
However…
Wuying Lan heard the deep and mocking laughter from below the black crystal suit.
Immediately, he realized what the enemy was trying to do.
But there was no time to stop him!
Li Yao drew a very simple rune in midair, which instantly broke apart and sent feeble ripples of spiritual energy to every crystal bomb in the place.
All the crystal bombs were detonated at the same time, including the one installed on the shell of the main reactor!
“No—”
Wuying Lan roared in desperation and watched as a cluster of pure white ball of light was generated and expanded before his eyes. The light ball easily ripped apart the nine shells of the main reactor and crawled in like a flood that had broken the dam, which immediately caused a chain reaction. An overwhelming, destructive power was activated and spurted to Wuying Lan right from the above!
It was the life-blighting light and heat that was as intense as a supernova outbreak. Even if Wuying Lan were wearing seven crystal suits, it would have been impossible for him to avoid the fate of being completely melted.
He did not expect the enemy to be so insane as to really die together with him. Out of his natural instincts, he narrowed his eyes and backed off slightly.
But in only 0.01 seconds, Wuying Lan realized that something was wrong.
This was not a movie or a lousy game. The energy reactor in reality had dozens of safety measures. How could a great explosion have been triggered so easily?
Even if catastrophic accidents such as a fracture of the shell or a meltdown took place, the pollution of radiations would spread out slowly and steadily in the following days or years. The power of the reactor would only drop down slowly. It was impossible to cause such a damage that looked like a supernova outbreak!
As he expected, despite the vivid, life-like illusions, his crystal suit and his body did not suffer any substantial damage!
It took Wuying Lan only 0.01 seconds to realize that it was a trap.
In the second 0.01 seconds, he already understood the construction of the trap. All the crystal bombs nearby were real. They had truly burst out scorching fireballs and led to explosions that turned the place into a mess.
But the crystal bomb that was installed to the shell of the main reactor was the only one that was absolutely false. It was not meant to detonate the main reactor but only to burst out astonishing sound and visual effects to mislead Wuying Lan into thinking that the main reactor had an explosion and to mire him in brief bewilderment.
It took Wuying Lan only 0.02 seconds to figure out the truth.
Given another 0.01 seconds, he was confident enough to escape from the fatal trap!
It was a shame that his enemy was not “at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage” but an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage who was stronger than him.
The life-and-death battle between the top experts could be decided in one moment.
Exactly at the moment when Wuying Lan was confused by the illusions, two giant hands suddenly extended out of the dazzling light. Closing the fingers, they cut open his breastplate and pierced into his chest deeply like two sabers as if there were nothing in their way!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Wuying Lan felt that ten thousand balls of lightning were rising among his internal organs, or two furious torrents of magma were flowing rampantly and gathering at his heart.
Itching and aching feelings were coming over from his ears, his nose, his throat, and his eyes at the same time, as if lightning and flames were dashing out of his head.
He wanted to struggle and counterattack, but the crimson flames of spiritual energy around the enemy’s body were increased by ten times at the moment. They suppressed his green spiritual energy and even swallowed it!
The light was finally gone, and the black crystal suit that looked like the God of Death appeared before Wuying Lan clearly again. The hands that stabbed deep into his body grabbed his heart and his ribs and slowly pulled him down.
No facial organs could be seen because of the black mask. There were not even crystal cameras that were embedded on it. Only red ripples in half-transparent blackness were changing erratically on it, as if they were delivering the messages from the deepest part of hell.
Wuying Lan was so scared that his soul was almost shattered.
He finally realized what a ferocious animal it was that was standing before him and grabbing his heart!
It was a terrifying existence that could’ve been on the same level as Li Lingfeng!
“You have no idea what you are destroying!” Wuying Lan screamed in desperation and fear. “This is not just a simple platform for slaughter streams but a power that can control the entire universe. This—This is the way of life and government of the future. This is a strength that directly enters the head and the heart. Just listen to my explanation. I’m willing to give all the strength to you. Just listen to my explanation!”
Li Yao tilted his head and thought for 0.1 seconds.
“I won’t hear it,” Li Yao said.
The hands that he stabbed deep into Wuying Lan’s body began to burn as he launched the most splendid “Cell Obliteration Cannon” right in the enemy’s internal organs!
