Chapter 425 Your Master
Gu Zheng is only in his early thirties. If he hadn't told others, no one would have known that he was once a top student majoring in environmental protection at a well-known university. Before the Apocalypse, he was a very persistent environmentalist. He founded a non-governmental environmental protection organization, promoted green concepts and renewable energy, and even had a popular self-media account. Who would have thought that in less than a year, his role would become one of the famous four heroes of the Holy City Organization, hunting down people with special abilities and doing the so-called "purification" work.
Lin Xian heard what the other party said and responded
"If you're so confident in crystallization, why are you making such a big move?"
Gu Zheng looked at Lin Xian and suddenly laughed sternly: "Hahaha, brother, you don't really think you are so important, like a savior..."
He restrained his smile and said to Lin Xian in a playful tone:
"I feel a little sorry for you, you, the Order of the Phoenix, and those survivor organizations. You know nothing about the Star Abyss, about darkness, about the future. One day you will understand that your weapons, your resistance to the supernatural powers that transcend civilization, including those obtained by humans, are nothing but meaningless to the Lord's civilization..."
Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this, but he didn't show any expression under the power armor shield. Instead, he responded coldly:
"Your actions make your arguments sound unconvincing."
"Yeah?"
Gu Zhengzheng suppressed his smile, his expression turned serious and sharp, a condensed resonant ripple appeared in the palm of his hand, and he spoke in a tone as if he was talking to himself.
"Well, dying with hope is a thousand times better than deceiving yourself and having your faith crumble in the face of despair."
"Lin Xian." At this time, Kiki also flew over, and the two of them surrounded Gu Zheng in a pincer attack. Kiki saw the fluctuations of Gu Zheng's superpowers and warned Lin Xian: "Be careful, this guy has a peak fluctuation of at least 8,000. If he completes the lattice, it may be at the level of 16,000. Do you want to capture him alive?"
Lin Xian looked at Gu Zheng with a slightly narrowed expression. In other battlefields in the distance, Monica, Ning Jing, and Qian Dele's teams were all fighting fiercely. Several of the opponents were crystallized and ruthless people, and it was not easy to deal with them. Now it was getting dark, and the opponent's crystallized power continued to attract a large number of strange bodies to approach. Lin Xian had to fight quickly and find a way to find the person who slipped away, otherwise they would definitely not have an easy time after dark.
"Ha, what a fantasy." Gu Zheng's eyes lit up with powerful supernatural light at this time, and the whole person floated into the air, emitting a large number of square shock wave ripples from his body, which looked extremely weird.
Buzz!
An extremely powerful peak of supernatural power continued to rise in his body, gradually expanding to a shocking degree. Shizhi, who was far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but widen her eyes and hurriedly said to Lin Xian
"Lin Xian, his aura is doubling, even stronger than KIKI's!"
"I know."
Lin Xian responded calmly, his eyes constantly observing Gu Zheng.
"Is there any connection between your Al-Quds Organization and the SIID Foundation?"
Just when Gu Zheng released his crystallized power, Lin Xian suddenly asked him a question.
Gu Zheng looked at Lin Xian with a sneer, as if he were a clown.
"Do you still want to ask what the master's arrangements are?"
Lin Xian nodded and responded seriously, "Who is the master you are talking about? Are you connected to the dark civilization and the beings in Xingyuan?"
"snort!"
Facing Lin Xian's question, Gu Zheng felt a little puzzled. In an instant, his strength had soared. The huge dark energy fluctuations began to attract the attention of a large number of strange bodies. For a moment, the sky around the block seemed to be a little dim, and countless strange roars began to rush over.
"Humanity's sword-wielders are such fools, it would be unjust if they didn't perish!"
Gu Zheng shook his head and shouted coldly, then he disappeared from the spot at an astonishing speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. A huge air wave suddenly erupted from the ruins of the building, and before the sound of the air wave died down, he had already appeared in front of Lin Xian, raising his hand and pointing it at Lin Xian's face.
"Goodbye, Sword Bearer. Go down and ask the Master. Oh no, the Master's civilization has no religious theory. You won't have another chance."
After he finished speaking, the vibration ripples in his palm instantly expanded dozens of times, turning into a dark purple transparent square air wall, which directly covered Lin Xian's entire body, and a destructive force burst out.
At this moment, Lin Xian still focused his eyes on Gu Zheng's face and asked loudly:
"So you did come into contact with the dark civilization, right? You are communicating with darkness?!!"
"Idiot!" Gu Zheng's eyes turned bloodshot, and he launched a destructive supernatural power attack directly.
boom!
The square impact area created by his shock wave directly created a huge vacuum area in the air. The huge recoil force produced an explosive air wave that sprayed towards an area of several kilometers!
Just when Gu Zheng thought that he had completely destroyed Lin Xian with this full-strength attack after crystallization, the next moment, three empty energy sounds exploded in his ears.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Lin Xian, who had been completely annihilated by the shock wave, now appeared in front of Gu Zheng like a ghost. Three giant superstring reactor phase rainbow rings lit up behind him, and the energy lines on Lin Xian's nano-powered armor burst out with intense light. In Gu Zheng's eyes, Lin Xian's peak power value directly increased from 12,000 to 18,000, and then soared to more than 20,000, and then reached a level that he could not sense at all. This sudden change made Gu Zheng's pupils shrink, and then Lin Xian grabbed forward, and countless mechanical tentacles sprayed out, instantly grabbing Gu Zheng alive and lifting him over, and a mechanical energy cannon directly pierced his heart. Then Lin Xian pressed a strange device on Gu Zheng's head at an extremely fast speed.
Mycelium brain-computer device!
Strictly speaking, brain-computer devices cannot ideally obtain information from the human brain. Uploading digital consciousness requires a considerable amount of time to compile consciousness signals, while mycelium can enable the intersection of consciousness between individuals. Therefore, Lin just raised several key questions to trigger memory exploration. In this way, even if Gu Zheng is killed, he can quickly capture information fragments and obtain useful information when forcibly conducting digital consciousness exploration.
"you!"
Gu Zheng had never expected that after his crystallization, his peak power of nearly 16,000 would be killed instantly by Lin Xian. Although they had already done a lot of analysis on the strength of the Sword Wielder, the data they had obtained showed that Lin Xian's peak power was only around 7,000. In Xilan City and Dawn City, this mechanical mutant relied on armored forces such as Unit-01 and the Gray Mist Messenger to gain the initiative on the battlefield. They had no idea that Lin Xian's individual combat strength was actually more than 20,000!
At this moment, seeing the brain-computer device that Lin Xian took out, as a senior backbone of the Holy City, he immediately understood the other party's intention. His face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and shouted coldly: "Don't even think about it!"
In an instant, after realizing his defeat and the opponent's tactics, Gu Zheng suddenly widened his eyes, his pupils completely dilated, and then within just a few seconds, countless black blood vessels crawled up his eyes.
Lin Xian frowned suddenly when he saw this, because he suddenly realized that a strong dark wave was devouring Gu Zheng's consciousness.
"He is actively mutating!" KIKI rushed over and said.
"I know, help me control him!" Lin Xian immediately took Gu Zheng and flew directly to the rooftop where Shizhi was, put him on the ground, and shouted to Shizhi: "Shizhi, use your supernatural power on me with all your strength."
KIKI guessed what Lin Xian was doing and immediately said, "Lin Xian, this is too dangerous."
"I just need a little time." Lin Xian manipulated the mechanical device to completely seal off Gu Zheng, saying, "If we don't get something, we'll be in great danger tonight!"
Not only did he want to know the news about the Advent Sect, Lin Xian also wanted to know what the other party had deployed on the island. This was the key at the moment. Otherwise, he felt that Haiyan Island was like a fog, surrounded by monsters and he didn't know what was going on.
So, Lin Xian asked KIKI to control Gu Zheng and asked Shizhi to use her supernatural powers on herself. He then directly used Shinji Mochizuki's special brain-computer device to start invading Gu Zheng's mind after he lost his mental power.
KIKI looked extremely nervous. She looked at Lin Xian and Gu Zheng who was moving quickly to the side. She was trying to suppress Gu Zheng with her mental power but was afraid of crushing him to death. She was very anxious for a moment.
This was the first time she witnessed the transformation process of a person with superpowers. At this time, Gu Zheng was breathing heavily, his consciousness dissipated, but his life was not yet dead. The blood-colored crystal lattice in his chest suddenly reversed, and dark red energy spread from the heart to the whole body like tree root-like blood vessels. A large number of black lines began to cover his skin. It can be clearly seen that the skin of a normal human being began to turn into a bluish-white rotten color like a zombie.
"Die...you all must die!"
A final roar came from Gu Zheng's throat, and gradually, the sound began to become unclear, until only the sound of wheezing remained. It seemed as if a strange creature was surging under the skin on his face, causing his original face to gradually swell and distort. His hair began to fall off in large areas, his spine made a crisp sound and stretched out section by section, his shoulder blades pierced the skin to form the prototype of bone wings, his finger bones grew into half-meter-long black bone spurs, and sharp claws began to appear.
And all this happened in less than ten minutes.
"He... he has a very high level of dark invasion toxin." Shiori said nervously. At this time, she continued to use her supernatural powers to suppress Lin Xian's invaded consciousness.
KIKI saw this scene and anxiously shouted to Lin Xian
"Lin Xian! Are you ready? He's going to turn into a ghost!!!"
Ugh!! Ugh!!
Gu Zheng's face was distorted to be more terrifying than a zombie. His pale eyeballs were deeply sunken, and the deformation of his spine caused his body to continue to increase. A large amount of cuticle grew on his skull, and the foul smell spread rapidly. KIKI and Shiori could already feel the fierce toxin coming from this thing.
The most terrifying thing was that during Gu Zheng's struggle, the power of the shock wave was violently manifested in him. As the intensity of his struggle increased, the mechanical arm that Lin Xian used to restrain him began to break. Even KIKI's telekinesis was affected by the shock wave, making her feel an extremely powerful impact.
"After it mutated, its powers started to get out of control. I might not be able to catch it."
Kiki looked at Shizhi at this time: "If it breaks free later, I will cut off the connection with Lin Xian's consciousness. You take Lin Xian away from here first, and I will stop this guy."
Shiori nodded and then immediately shook her head, saying to Kiki, "It... the energy from it is so strong, almost reaching the soul-shattering value of a special-level weird body. Can you stop it?"
"Let's get Lin Xian out first. If that doesn't work, call for help." Kiki looked toward the explosion on the distant street. "The others should be almost taken care of."
Ugh! Ugh!
Gu Zheng had now transformed into a three-meter-tall giant, his entire body pale, his face abominable, his abdomen split open to form a second giant mouth, looking extremely weird, even his skin had fallen off in large areas, releasing bursts of black smoke, and those dark purple shock waves began to spray out in all directions uncontrollably. Gu Zheng's transformed human ghost began to break free and attacked KIKI and Shiori.
"I can't hold it back anymore!"
KIKI gritted her teeth and exchanged glances with Shizhi. Then she found the right moment, raised her left hand and directly cut off the brain-computer detection link between Lin Xian and Gu Zheng. She used her telekinesis to grab Lin Xian and Shizhi and pushed them directly away. Bang, the two of them flew backwards in an instant. At the same time, the tall ghost also broke free from the mechanical device in an instant. Under the suppression of KIKI's powerful telekinesis, it suddenly opened its bloody mouth towards her, and a dark purple vibration beam appeared in its mouth.
Upon seeing this, KIKI jumped up and dodged immediately. The next moment, a beam of shocking light that dimmed the surrounding light shot out and rushed straight into the sky. The huge shock wave swept away the low-lying clouds, and the raised air waves caused the glass of all the buildings in the entire block to explode!
boom!
"Wow, that's amazing!"
KIKI dodged narrowly and couldn't help but complain. If she was hit this time, even if she was wearing the power armor specially made by Lin Xian, her telekinesis shield would probably be pierced instantly. This crystallized mutant was even more terrifying than a monster after the mutation. KIKI seized the opportunity when the opponent hadn't stood up yet, and directly suppressed him with one hand and operated the VK electric knife with the other hand like a torrent falling from the sky, and shot the man through the heart with thousands of arrows!
Wow!
The metal torrent was like a torrential rain, carrying KIKI's powerful telekinesis, and penetrated at an ultra-high speed. The human ghost also felt the threat, and lying on the rooftop opened its mouthparts and the second huge mouth on its abdomen at the same time. The square shock waves rose and expanded layer by layer, as if forming a force field shield in front of it, blocking all of KIKI's electric knife torrents.
Upon seeing this, KIKI shouted coldly, pinched the neck with his fingertips, and tried to use his telekinesis to break the ghost's neck. With a click, the ghost's neck was instantly flipped 180 degrees. However, at this time, the ghost directly supported himself on the ground in the opposite direction. Not only did he not die, he was also trying to get up from the ground by force.
At this time, KIKI finally felt the oppression brought by the peak of her superpowers far exceeding hers. This was the first time that she was unable to suppress the human ghost with her telekinesis except for those large strange bodies. She was a little unconvinced, raised her hands and pressed them, exerting all her strength to suppress them. But at this time, the human ghost had captured her position, and several flesh tentacles appeared out of thin air on its body. Those flesh tentacles all lit up with tiny vibration ripples, and instantly emitted impact lines like laser beams towards KIKI.
KIKI was shocked. She didn't expect that this monster could use such a method. She wanted to dodge immediately, but a shock ray still pierced through the shoulder blade of the power armor, causing her to feel pain and her mental suppression went out of control. Immediately, the monster broke free from the restraints, raised smoke and dust, and quickly dived into the ruins of a building and disappeared from sight.
Seeing this, KIKI immediately prepared to look for it. It seemed that her shoulder was only slightly scratched. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, but at this time she already felt a great sense of threat.
"Where have you been? Damn it! If I could also lattice evolve, I wouldn't be afraid of a monster like you."
Buzz!
Just as KIKI was following at high speed, she keenly caught an extremely dangerous supernatural power fluctuation. KIKI reacted quickly and used telekinesis waves to push back in the air, pushing herself out in a zigzag direction like a cannonball.
call out!
In the next moment, a giant shock ray as thick as a bucket shot out from a low building below. It was so powerful that it burned the air and pierced directly through the direction where KIKI was just now.
“I found you!”
KIKI aimed at the source of the impact ray and guided the torrent of electric knives directly towards it. At this moment, her face suddenly changed. She noticed something strange and turned around to grab the person who appeared behind her and was about to release the ray.
The death ray was moved away and passed dangerously in front of KIKI's face. KIKI was calm and dodged such a dangerous attack. He simply grabbed the ghost in the air and immediately concentrated all his mental power, making it impossible for it to escape and crushed it directly.
Buzz, in an instant, the violent invisible mental force was like the collapsing gravity, instantly squeezing the human ghost into a ball. When it was about to be crushed to pieces, the human ghost sensed the danger, and suddenly synapses appeared all over his body, and dark energy burst out, ready to release shock ripples in all directions!
Empty, empty, empty!
KIKI frowned when she saw this. She was in a position where she had no way to escape and could only grit her teeth. Her eyes flashed with supernatural light, and she was ready to squeeze it into meatballs as quickly as possible.
But as the dark purple oscillation ripples gradually brightened, it seemed too late.
At this critical moment, the surroundings suddenly dimmed, and above the sky, a blazing white sword that extinguished all light suddenly pierced through the dark clouds and slashed down!
"God·Infinite Burning Sword!!"
boom!
Lu Xingchen descended from the sky with the power of the God of Fire, and instantly devoured the human ghost with a high temperature of ten thousand degrees.
"Who are you, the evil one? Why don't you just wait for me to kill you?"
The infinite ring in Brother Huo's hand was spinning at high speed, and the peak of his supernatural power soared to the extreme at this time, directly shattering the shock ripples of the man's ghost. At this time, a ghost shadow shot out from the air and escaped.
This ghost seemed to be conscious. After being injured by KIKI and Brother Huo, he actually tried to run away.
"Strange, the human ghost actually ran away?!" Brother Huo put away the Burning Flame Sword and landed next to KIKI, unable to help but wonder.
"Stop talking nonsense, don't let it run away!" KIKI glanced at him at this time, immediately operated the power armor to accelerate, and chased after it with a torrent of electric knives.
At this time, Monica, Ning Jing, and Qian Dele's team all rushed over. Seeing this scene, they were ready to surround and deal with the ghost.
The man was extremely fast. He leaped in the air and landed on the roof of the street. Then, shockwaves burst out and he ran directly towards the distant coastline. But when he leaped into the air, the next moment, a giant mechanical straight punch suddenly fell from the sky!
The remains of Xuanwu!
High above Haiyan City, a giant dark blue mechanical arm swung down with a loud bang, like a mechanical wonder in the sky, and directly punched Gu Zheng, whose energy surged after crystallization, to the ground with an explosive momentum.
boom!
The man was like a cannonball that was shot away, and his fist smashed into the ground. His torso disintegrated and shattered in the air!
