Chapter 127: Weapons from the Heavens!
Level 3.9?
Lin Qing's pupils shrank slightly.
This threat must have come from Urieo, who escaped from the Broken Stele Prison?
How did this guy suddenly show up here?
"Two individuals have crossed the laser sensor zone; micro life detectors confirm both have life fields at the Gene Recombination level."
At that moment, Chen Guang's voice suddenly flashed rapidly through his mind: "The enemy is destroying the laser defense network built by unmanned units 1.2 kilometers away; the defense system will be breached soon. Based on the enemy's capabilities, it's almost certainly Urieo and Feiyao from the Broken Stele Prison."
Her voice in his mind moved at near the absolute limit of Lin Qing's thought speed; the entire message took less than 0.1 seconds to deliver.
Lin Qing squinted slightly.
Records indicate Urieo possesses two to three Level Four abilities.
One of them resembles energy vision, capable of distinguishing varying energy intensities, greatly aiding combat, with a visual range of about five kilometers.
So, Urieo only needs to find the person with the strongest energy signature to identify him.
Moreover, this area is on the city's outskirts, naturally sparsely populated.
After a flash of thought, Lin Qing immediately grabbed the phone beside him and sent a command at top speed: "All personnel withdraw, route zl1, report submitted to headquarters."
Urieo wields a Primitive-tier combat technique; his strength ranks among the highest below Patrol Envoy level, stronger than Lin Qing now—he naturally wouldn't engage directly.
He had no need to take such a risk.
"Just buy some time."
Lin Qing didn't hesitate—he burst through the second-floor window, becoming a lingering afterimage as he shot off in another direction.
…
"Shhhhh—!"
Across the suburban wasteland, streaks of dark blue light slashed through the air; the drone units equipped with laser weapons instantly froze mid-flight, then plummeted and shattered into fragments.
Urieo, wreathed in frosty mist, suddenly smirked, "We haven't even met yet, and you're already retreating?"
His eyes, marked with dark golden patterns, fixed on the figure speeding away over a kilometer away—he could clearly see every high-energy entity within five kilometers.
"Fast speed… but where do you think you're running to?"
Urieo sneered and immediately surged forward at full speed, his entire body nearly turning into a blur.
Though Feiyao was significantly weaker than Urieo, he excelled in speed and could barely keep pace.
Both of their speeds surged to nearly three times the speed of sound.
"Hmm?"
Urieo suddenly noticed the high-energy signature representing Lin Qing had accelerated again—now only slightly slower than himself.
"So fast?" he was surprised.
But they were still only one or two kilometers apart; as long as he was slower, Urieo could catch him in at most thirty seconds.
After a dozen or so seconds.
Three blurred figures of astonishing speed leaped over mountains and crossed rivers across the wasteland beyond the city, having traveled nearly twenty kilometers.
At that moment—
Urieo suddenly froze, halting his motion abruptly.
"What's wrong?" Feiyao also stopped.
"What happened?" Urieo stared at that direction in disbelief, frowning: "He just vanished?"
In his energy vision, the energy signature representing Lin Qing had simply flickered once—and disappeared entirely; no high-energy entity remained within his five-kilometer range.
"Vanished?"
Feiyao was also stunned. "How is that possible? Do Earthlings have methods to conceal their energy?"
Urieo said nothing; he swiftly dashed through a grove of trees on a small hill and arrived at the exact spot where Lin Qing had disappeared.
Yet after carefully observing for a long while, he found nothing.
"Either he's concealing his energy… or…" Urieo squinted slightly.
…
Thirty kilometers away, inside an abandoned gas station.
"Instant Light plus Tian Gui coordinates—perfect for escape."
Lin Qing held an alloy flying knife, staring at the cross-shaped cyan mark on its blade, a faint smile forming in his eyes.
This knife, forged from second-grade alloy, had been hidden here long ago after he inscribed a Tian Gui coordinate onto its surface.
Urieo's energy vision only reached five kilometers, but Lin Qing's "Return Coordinate" technique could instantly traverse thirty kilometers.
Moreover, over these past few days, he had fully recomposed and perfected his Gene Ability: Instant Light.
Now, Instant Light's maximum speed reached over seventy kilometers per second; though it lasted only slightly more than 0.001 seconds, within that instant, it was nearly equivalent to teleportation.
At such terrifying speed, Urieo wouldn't even react before finding Lin Qing gone.
"Chen Guang, send a message to Zhao Jiayi for me."
Lin Qing pulled out his Second Source, rapidly replenishing his energy, and said: "Have her use telekinesis to scan and locate where the other prisoners in Jin Guang Tower are now."
Soon, Chen Guang replied: "They're cunning—they've left Jin Guang Tower and are hiding in the East Suburb District."
"Good. Lock onto them."
Lin Qing smiled faintly, feeling his energy rapidly restore, and said: "Chen Guang, block my radar and satellite signals."
As he spoke, his entire body swelled with muscle as he hurled the alloy flying knife into the sky; it instantly shattered the sound barrier, accelerating at dozens of times the speed of sound, becoming a streak of light racing upward.
Several seconds later, once the knife vanished beyond the clouds, Lin Qing sensed its coordinate, constructed an invisible Tian Gui pathway, and activated Instant Light again!
Return Coordinate!
In an instant, he transformed into a stream of cyan energy, moving at over seventy kilometers per second, piercing through the clouds in a flash, catching up to the flying knife, and snatching it from the air.
Afterwards, a pair of cyan-glowing wings unfolded behind Lin Qing; he flapped them once and shot straight up into the dim night sky.
"This method is truly useful, though the consumption is quite high." Lin Qing couldn't help but smile.
No choice.
In the dead of night, the Sky Wings were far too glaring; flying directly into the sky would likely see him spotted before he even entered the cloud layer.
But with the speed of Flash, piercing through the low cloud layer of merely over a thousand meters required less than 0.02 seconds, making it very difficult to be discovered.
This was also the clever utility of Flash and the Sky Coordinate.
"Now is a good opportunity."
"Since Uriel and Fei Yao, these two, have separated from the other extraterrestrial fugitives, it is just right to take this moment to kill all of those people."
After Lin Qing flapped the Sky Wings to reach a higher altitude, he headed directly toward the direction pinpointed by Morning Light.
Although the Sky Wings had not yet undergone genetic recombination, they still possessed a speed of 2.7 Ma He; moreover, being in the air, he only needed to fly in a straight line.
Lin Qing glanced at the Entropy Reverser's current Order Level.
【Current Order Level: Level 87.1】
Over these past five days, as the underground forces in major cities across the Jiangnan region were swept clean, the Order Level had remained stagnant.
"If those extraterrestrial prisoners are all dealt with, it should reach Level 100."
Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. "By then, I can immediately advance the 'Endless Sky', and have a better chance of resolving Uriel and Fei Yao."
The combat arts of Endless Sky and Starfall Six Movements had long been mastered.
The move he envisioned, if he mastered the Endless Sky combat art, would also become stronger.
"The target is approximately 63 kilometers away from you." Morning Light's voice sounded in his mind: "In about 68 seconds, you can arrive above the target."
"68 seconds? A bit slow."
Lin Qing pondered for a moment. "Still, time is tight. Morning Light, have Zhao Jiayi send that plaque of mine to where those prisoners are located."
……
In a county district far from the Lin'an city area, within a residential complex with an elegant environment.
Zhao Jiayi sat on the rooftop of the third floor of a villa, holding a mobile phone in one hand and an alloy plaque bearing a cyan cross-mark in the other.
To be precise, it was merely a sheet of alloy with very sharp edges.
"Oh, so I just need to make this alloy fly over to the target?" Zhao Jiayi asked.
"Yes." Lin Qing's voice came from the phone: "Good girl, hurry up."
"Why do you speak like that now..."
Zhao Jiayi blushed, coughed lightly, and immediately used her telekinesis to control the sheet of alloy to fly toward the sky; under the continuous acceleration of her telekinesis, it quickly surpassed ten times the speed of sound.
!.
With her telekinesis, which had been advancing rapidly every day since she reached adulthood, she could now scan a radius of fifty kilometers, and she had not yet reached her limit.
Pure telekinesis, within a certain range, could also control objects exceeding two hundred tons to float.
Although this power was far inferior to Lin Qing's current explosive strength, this was not originally the strength of a Telekinesis Awakener.
Mere seconds later, Zhao Jiayi used her telekinesis to deliver that sheet of alloy to the vicinity of the target in the eastern suburbs.
"Lin Qing, delivered."
"Good girl."
"……"
……
Above the cloud layer in the night sky, a cyan phantom raced across the firmament.
"She said it's delivered."
Suddenly, Morning Light's voice sounded in Lin Qing's mind: "I helped you praise her as a good girl."
"……Don't say unnecessary words..."
Lin Qing was somewhat speechless; immediately sensing the Sky Coordinate on that sheet of alloy in the distance, he constructed an invisible Sky Track and then began accelerating along the track.
The flight speed instantly surged to 6.1 Ma He.
"42 kilometers from the target, estimated arrival in 20 seconds." Morning Light immediately calculated the remaining time.
Twenty seconds later.
At an altitude of ten thousand meters, Lin Qing flapped his cyan wings; his gaze pierced through the thin cloud layer, looking down at the seemingly uninhabited warehouses in the eastern suburbs below, and he did not rush to descend.
"Lin Qing, you've arrived?"
Zhao Jiayi's telekinesis had obviously detected him and immediately transmitted sound through mental communication.
Lin Qing sensed the Sky Coordinate below and smiled. "Zhao Jiayi, let's coordinate. Use the method I taught you last time. Remember, kill the strongest one, Carol, first."
"Got it."
Soon, Zhao Jiayi transmitted via telekinesis: "I'm ready. There are six targets in total."
"Good." Lin Qing nodded slightly.
Immediately, he extended one hand; a flash of cyan light appeared in his palm, revealing a pure black javelin glowing with a cyan luster.
This javelin was crafted from super-material; its density and weight had reached the maximum degree he could adjust. The javelin weighed approximately 1.2 tons and featured a series of threads along its body.
"A distance of ten thousand meters... is enough."
Lin Qing took a deep breath, gazed at the warehouses below, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Then let's try. Although I haven't mastered Endless Sky yet, for a fatal wound, it is already sufficient..."
In the next instant, cyan light burst from his pupils; his muscles swelled, and threads of lightning coiled around his body.
Enhancement!
Giant Strength!
Divine Speed!
In these five days, he had already reorganized and completed all the gene abilities of the third level.
"And... the Free Body."
Lin Qing grabbed the javelin with one hand; at the same time, his arm began to stretch to nearly two meters in length, and then, like twisting a dough twist, this arm began to twist over and over again.
Immediately, his body, like a bow storing up power, slowly arched backward.
Then—
"Go!"
Accompanied by his body snapping back violently, the wings on Lin Qing's back suddenly flapped, smoothly hurling the javelin in his hand with all his might toward the ground below; at the same time, the dough-twist-like arm spun wildly like a rebounding rubber band, driving the ridged javelin to spin at high speed as well!
In an instant, this crazily spinning javelin had already left his hand!
Just at the moment of release, its initial speed had already broken through twenty times the speed of sound!
At the same time, the moment this javelin plummeted from ten thousand meters in the sky, it was also constantly adjusting its trajectory along that invisible celestial track, and... accelerating wildly!!
Inside the warehouse.
Carol, like a mountain of flesh, sat on a huge sofa, continuously shoving chunks of chocolate into her mouth.
Her clan's bloodline possessed a special ability from birth: not only could it convert vast amounts of energy into fat, but it could also burn fat during combat to enter the optimal battle state.
Besides absorbed energy, high-calorie food was also indispensable, which happened to be what she liked.
"The chocolate is almost gone; when are we returning?" Carol asked impatiently.
Sitting not far opposite her, a handsome young man with blood-red eyes suppressed the urge to frown and spoke: "My lord Carol, what Lord Uriel and Mr. Feiyao are doing is, after all, somewhat dangerous; if the two of them are confident they can escape, it would be better for us to stay far away."
At this moment, no one noticed that five meters deep in the soil beneath the warehouse, a sharp alloy blade was slowly moving, right to a position directly beneath Carol.
"What a nuisance. A bunch of useless Earth natives; what is there to fear?"
Carol casually tossed the chocolate bucket in her hand aside, shook her entire body of fat, and ordered: "I'm too lazy to move; go get me some new ones; you feed me."
The blood-eyed young man was stunned, but thinking this was a noble from the home star, he had no choice but to steel himself and walk over.
Just then—
A streak of black afterimage flashed suddenly, passing straight through above Carol's head; in just an instant, Carol's entire head along with the upper half of her torso completely exploded!
At once, a massive amount of blood and flesh splattered out.
"Whoosh!!!"
Only then did the terrifying sound that pierced through everything follow!
"Boom!!"
Immediately after, a thunderous explosion-like roar erupted from the ground!
The blood-eyed youth froze.
He hadn't even seen what happened before he realized that Carol, this noble from the home star, had already been instantly killed without a whole corpse!
"What happened?"
As if suddenly awakened, he quickly rushed to Carol's rear and was shocked to discover that a huge pit had now appeared on the warehouse floor behind her!
Could it be some kind of ultra-high-speed kinetic weapon?
The blood-eyed youth looked at the huge pit of unknown depth, yet saw nothing.
What exactly... happened?
It's the end of the month; please vote for monthly tickets!
