Armor Form PLUS

The Mutant Vine covering the entire wall behind Xia Tianming writhed as it silently crept closer. Then, like a spring, it coiled its long, thick body before launching itself forward at incredible speed, wrapping around him and beginning to tighten!

The Mutant Vine was a bloodthirsty plant created by deranged researchers who fused the Progenitor Virus with chlorophyll from plant cells.

Since the Progenitor Virus had been extracted from plants, it could naturally be applied to plants as well.

Mutant Vines could attack passing prey with lightning speed and constrict their bodies like pythons. The force of their constriction could instantly crush a buffalo's ribs!

Then, countless Stingers would extend from the plant's surface, piercing the prey and injecting corrosive Toxin that melted every internal organ into liquid.

In less than ten seconds, the prey would become a bloated "human-skin water sac"!

Most horrifying of all, the prey would remain conscious at that point, forced to watch helplessly as it was sucked dry...

After wrapping around Xia Tianming, the Mutant Vine rapidly contracted and tightened.

Yet it felt as though it had wrapped around a lump of iron. The expected sound of bones shattering never came.

The vine extended its Stingers, intending to inject Toxin, but not only did they fail to pierce his skin—the sharp Stingers snapped instead???

While Xia Tianming was entangled by the Mutant Vine, the mutated animals hidden in the grass had already launched their attack!

A giant Zombie Rhino, nearly five meters tall at the shoulder when standing on all fours, scraped its hooves against the ground. Foul-smelling breath sprayed from its thick nostrils as its Crimson pupils fixed on the man ensnared by the vines. It lowered its head and charged at him with its mutated rhino horn, nearly a meter long, thrusting forward from its forehead!

Its massive body, weighing more than ten tons, made the ground tremble as it charged at full speed. Everything blocking its path was smashed aside or sent flying. Its only target was that man!

There was no doubt that, at full charge, it could instantly cripple a main battle tank!

Faced with such a colossal beast charging at him, Xia Tianming naturally would not stand there and await death.

Layer upon layer of black viral fluid began to cover his entire body, and his frame rapidly expanded. The Mutant Vine, as thick as a calf and tightly wound around him, was instantly snapped apart!

The Mutant Vine, broken into dozens of segments, fell to the ground and twisted violently like snakes. Rotten, dark-green fluid continuously sprayed from the severed ends!

Xia Tianming entered Armor Form, his entire body encased in hardened black viral matter. Aside from enhancing his defense, it also strengthened his power!

Facing the Biochemical Giant Rhino charging straight at him, he did not dodge. Instead, he met it head-on!

Seeing this tiny human dare to face it directly, the Biochemical Giant Rhino grew even more Wrathful and slammed forward with its massive horn in an unstoppable charge!!

Just as they were about to collide!

Xia Tianming brought his hands together at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow and actually caught the sharp rhino horn thrusting toward him!

The two sides, vastly different in size, began a contest of strength!

The Zombie Rhino's hundred-ton charging force was instantly halted by Xia Tianming, its limbs gouging deep trenches into the ground as they scraped against it!

Xia Tianming's feet also sank deeper and deeper into the earth as he used his own strength to forcibly withstand that terrifying impact!

He was testing the extent of his current strength!

While the two wrestled against each other, the other mutated biochemical beasts circled around behind Xia Tianming, intending to launch a sneak attack.

A Zombie Black Panther with fangs extending to its jaw crawled like a ghost to within five meters behind Xia Tianming. These Zombie animals had more or less retained their hunting instincts.

Seeing that Xia Tianming had not noticed it, the poised beast arched its body, bent its limbs slightly, bared its fangs, and pounced forward, ready to bite through the human's neck!

The moment it leaped into the air, the Zombie Black Panther suddenly felt a fierce gust rushing toward it!

A huge clawed paw, larger than its head, appeared from nowhere and slapped directly toward its skull!

But suspended in midair, the Zombie Black Panther had no time to evade. Then came a wet splat!

Its ferocious head was instantly smashed to pulp. Flesh and shattered bone sprayed in every direction as its headless body crashed heavily to the ground, twitching!

"Roar!!!"

The even more terrifying Hunter licked the black panther's brain matter from its claws, crouching behind Xia Tianming as it roared, as if declaring that anyone who dared disturb its master would have to get past it first!

Its bearing, like that of the king of beasts, truly cowed the other Zombie mutants that had intended to sneak attack, stopping them for the moment.

Meanwhile, Xia Tianming was still locked in a contest of strength with the Biochemical Giant Rhino. The ground beneath them had actually been dug nearly half a meter deep!

At first, their strength had been evenly matched, but the Biochemical Giant Rhino was gradually running out of stamina, its thick limbs beginning to tremble.

Meanwhile, the Blacklight Virus inside Xia Tianming continuously split and multiplied in its excited state, causing an endless stream of strength to surge forth!

Therefore, when it came to endurance, no one could compare to him!

Very soon, a thunderous boom rang out!

The massive Biochemical Giant Rhino was forcibly flipped onto its back by Xia Tianming, who was dozens of times smaller, using nothing but his berserk strength. It crashed down with all four limbs in the air!!

And the loser should be consumed by the victor.

Sensing danger, the terrified Biochemical Giant Rhino struggled to get back up, but what greeted it were Xia Tianming's arms, which had already transformed into Hammer Fist Form!

Bang!

With one punch, the thick Rhino Armor on its enormous head—armor capable of withstanding tank shells—was hammered inward!

Bang! Bang!

With two punches, dark-green blood seeped through the gaps in the Rhino Armor!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With three punches, its fist-sized rhino eyeball flew whole from its socket!

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!

What followed was a barrage of Hammer Fists raining down like a storm!!

The combination of power and speed produced booming impacts like muffled thunder that echoed continuously beneath the dome of the Biochemical Garden. Even the shockwaves made the tall grass around them sway like seaweed!

The Zombie beasts behind him, who had initially planned to ambush Xia Tianming, were so intimidated by his incomparably violent aura that they trembled and involuntarily backed away...

No one knew how many punches he threw. By the time he stopped, the Zombie Rhino's entire massive head had been reduced to a mangled mess. Its nearly ten-centimeter-thick Rhino Armor had been shattered and fused into the flesh, leaving no trace of its original appearance.

Once prey died, it was time to consume it.

Xia Tianming withdrew his Hammer Fists and plunged his hand into the Zombie Rhino's pulverized head. Countless viral tendrils extended from his fingertips, burrowing into every corner of the giant corpse and beginning to devour and absorb it madly!

It took nearly ten seconds to completely consume the enormous beast, not even sparing its exceptionally hard biological Rhino Armor!

After completely devouring the Zombie Rhino, the Virus Armor covering Xia Tianming's body began to change!

Layers upon layers of armor stacked over one another once more, becoming thicker and harder. His overall frame nearly doubled in size, his height reaching a full four meters!

The armor's surface was streaked with red and black, like blazing magma gradually cooling in the air!

At the armor's forehead, a black-and-red rhino horn with a tip that glinted with black light also condensed and hardened into shape. It was the rhino's signature weapon.

Xia Tianming's current Rhino Armor Form had approached the pinnacle of balanced offense and defense, radiating a steady yet ferocious aura of killing intent...
