Chen Fan vs. Poison Scorpion
Puff!
The two bio-engineered heads slid smoothly off the shoulders, and the instant they hit the ground, all the life force within them, even the High-Dimensional Radiation Energy in the Modified Crystal Core, was drained out in mid-air by an overwhelmingly domineering force, turning them into two pale, shriveled sacs that weathered into ash.
Call...
A wisp of pure gray-white energy flowed back into Chen Fan's palm through the Void, and was directly swallowed and crushed by the Life-and-Death Tai Chi Millstone deep within his Qi Sea.
Chen Fan's breath rose almost imperceptibly, but his expression remained as calm as a deep, still pool.
"What?!"
Lin Wei suddenly opened her eyes, as if struck by lightning. She stared blankly at the two pools of weathered ashes at her feet, her mind completely blank.
Peak Third Tier... Two Biochemical Death Soldiers that even heavy sniper bullets couldn't penetrate, just like that, gone?!
She mechanically turned her head to look at the plain-clothed boy beside her.
The Poison Scorpion, whose face had been filled with cruel and maniacal laughter, suddenly stopped the grinding of gears in its chest.
The scanning red light within the mechanical double pupils flickered wildly, the alarm value instantly spiked, and a screen full of garbled characters appeared!
"Hidden Force?! No... pure physical particle vibration?! What exactly are you?!"
The Poison Scorpion's synthesized voice finally changed tone. In shock, all twelve venom sacs on its back swelled up with blood, and the scorpion retreated violently!
However, Chen Fan's deep, cold eyes had already casually lifted, passing over the scattered bone dust, and landed on the core of the Poison Scorpion's throat, which was covered with Alloy armor.
The rusty, Broken Saber in his hand was pulled out another inch.
You talk too much.
"Beep!! Beep!! Target threat rating exceeds threshold!"
"Neural current overload increased to 300%, Brainstem Limiter forcibly lifted!"
A tiny auxiliary brain deep within the Poison Scorpion's chest emitted a sharp alarm.
The fact that his companion was instantly killed and turned to dust completely shattered the cyborg's logic.
The plain-clothed youth before them was no inferior vagrant as described in the intelligence reports, but rather an extremely dangerous being who had concealed all energy level fluctuations.
The capture command is instantly invalidated.
The Poison Scorpion's crimson mechanical double pupils shrank to the size of a pinhead, leaving only one decision: regardless of the cost, annihilate on the spot!
"Roar!"
A heavy, booming sound of hydraulic jets erupted from his spine.
The twelve dark green biochemical sacs suddenly expanded to three times their original size, their thin membranes covered with blue veins, before bursting open simultaneously.
A thick, almost liquid, dark green acid mist was ejected in a ring, accompanied by intense heat radiation at thousands of degrees Celsius, instantly engulfing every inch of space in the VIP Cabin.
Sizzle!
The ground, reinforced with three layers of Tungsten Steel protective plates, melted through the acid the moment it came into contact with it, turning into churning molten iron.
"It's over..."
Lin Wei, who was slumped on the ground, smelled that pungent, sweet, and fishy odor, and froze on the spot.
This special Neurotoxic Acid Mist is a top-secret formula from the research institute. Even inhaling micrograms of it will cause the lungs of Third Tier Esper to dissolve into blood within three seconds.
However, the expected excruciating pain did not occur.
Chen Fan, who stood half a step in front of her, didn't even flinch.
A thin layer of grayish-white energy silently spread out from half a foot around him, transforming into a Taiji Halo with its ends connected.
The violently sweeping high-temperature acid mist collided with the surface of this airflow without making any impact sound. Instead, it was broken down and stripped away at a speed visible to the naked eye, disappearing entirely into the Void.
The poisonous fog failed to cross the boundary at all, remaining blocked three feet away.
Lin Wei, standing behind him, stared blankly up at the boy's slender yet imposing figure, her mind a complete blank.
"Scum! Die!"
The Poison Scorpion's figure tore through the acid mist, crushing the molten iron as it charged forward.
The mechanical arms, a fusion of distorted flesh and blood, roared as they operated, the hydraulic pump's output power soaring to its limit, unleashing a violent impact force exceeding 50,000 jin.
The two heavy titanium pincers, like two steel gates closing in, brought with them a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, heading straight for Chen Fan's skull.
This blow was enough to smash a heavy main battle tank head-on into scrap metal.
Faced with this devastating pressure, Chen Fan remained completely calm.
He didn't confront it head-on, nor did he even take a step back. Just before the giant pincers closed, he shifted his toes half an inch to the side, keeping them close to the ground.
Boom!
The giant pincers tore through the air, grazed Chen Fan's coarse cloth sleeve, and slammed into the Void, exploding into a violent vortex of air.
It was that fleeting flaw.
Chen Fan gripped the rusty, Broken Saber in reverse and flicked his wrist.
The knife was not drawn, yet the tattered iron scabbard moved with a strange rhythm, striking seven times in a flash.
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!
The dull, rapid knocking sounds landed precisely on the bearing engagement points of the Poison Scorpion's arms, the high-pressure oil circuit center, and the stress joints of the Titanium Alloy exoskeleton.
Poison Scorpion sneered, his mechanical voice crackling with cruel noise. "Fool! This is Federation military-grade special Titanium Alloy, even armor-piercing rounds..."
Before he could finish speaking, his sarcasm came to an abrupt halt.
Within Chen Fan's body, the Extremity-Level Strength 60,000 jin awakened after the Fourth Genes Lock shattered, mixed with the Ultimate Hidden Force of Life-and-Death Guixu, surged into the mechanical arm like a tide along with the seven stabs.
There was no clanging sound of metal clashing.
A total of seven Spiral Hidden Forces oscillated wildly within the Alloy lattice, with the frequency increasing progressively.
Click!
A fine, spiderweb-like white mark suddenly appeared on the surface of the Poison Scorpion's thick, tree-trunk-like Titanium Alloy robotic arm.
Immediately afterwards, the white mark transformed into tens of thousands of cracks, and the entire arm completely disintegrated at the molecular level, exploding into countless grayish-white metal fragments.
Pfft!
The high-pressure transmission fluid gushed out like a fountain of blood. The Poison Scorpion's massive body was violently overturned by this irresistible Hidden Force, crashing heavily through the cabin wall. Only two broken pieces of flesh, spewing sparks, remained of its arms.
"Ahhh! My hand! This can't be!"
The excruciating pain and the backlash from the Neural Chip caused the Poison Scorpion to let out a shrill roar, and arcs of electricity crackled wildly in its mechanical eye sockets.
Destroying molecular-level Titanium Alloys with physical impact? That completely violates the fundamental laws of physics!
"Monster! You are definitely not human!"
Extreme fear completely overwhelmed the Poison Scorpion's reason.
His massive body rolled violently on the ground with the force of the impact, and the eight remaining high-level venomous cysts on his back instantly glowed with a scarlet death light.
The Self-Destruct Program was activated, and eight bone spikes filled with deadly toxins and highly concentrated solid Bone Spikes burst forth from the body, like eight blood-quenched spears, locking down the entire compartment like a torrential downpour.
Let's perish together!
Faced with this desperate counterattack, Chen Fan remained indifferent, simply pulling the rusty, Broken Saber at his waist outward by half a foot.
Clang!
In the dimly lit cabin, a crescent-shaped blade of gray and white suddenly flashed past.
The air in the Void was neatly sliced apart, forming two brief vacuum faults.
Pfft!
The eight self-destructing Bone Spikes that were thrusting towards them split in two without warning in mid-air. Before their internal fuses could even be activated, they were frozen into dust by the deathly intent carried by the blade's edge.
