Chapter 1073: Physical

~7 min read 1,287 words

"Bang!"

Cheng Beixiao smashed the werewolf's head with a single punch.

Warm blood splattered onto his face; he shook his head and threw himself back into the fight, blood-thirsty.

Laser cannons fired frantically, the dense beams obscuring his vision.

They shrouded the area like a giant net, firmly binding everyone.

"Zhang Wei!" Lian Shiqi shouted.

"Coming!"

The man who had previously mocked Su Yang stepped forward and grinned.

Suddenly, his body swelled up like a giant balloon.

The veins on his skin were clearly visible, as if they could burst at any moment.

"Thump, thump!"

The lasers hitting him felt like nothing; they even bounced back along the opposite trajectory.

No matter how sturdy the mecha soldiers' armor was, it couldn't withstand the damage from their own weapons.

Under the large-scale rebound, dozens of soldiers fell to the ground.

Blood flowed like a river.

Seeing this, Su Yang raised an eyebrow. "Physical 'rebound'?"

He had seen the "Rebound" talent before.

But that was a conceptual type, where all damage received by the host was returned 100% to the perpetrator.

Now that a new type of talent had appeared, Su Yang was somewhat curious—

What exactly was the limit of this so-called rebound?

Just as he was pondering, Yue Lan and the others arrived one after another.

Their reaction to this bloody scene was the same as Su Yang's; surprise appeared in their eyes.

"Such high kill efficiency!"

Zhuang Wu saw that neither the monsters nor the mecha soldiers could get within an inch of the seven people.

The "Balloon" completely sealed off the passageway, leaving only gaps at the four corners.

The seven of them picked up the laser cannons from the ground and aimed through the gaps to shoot the enemies.

At the same time, the effect of "Rebound" helped them out.

"Clear division of labor, each performing their duties, efficiency maxed out. It seems to be a well-trained and highly tacit team," Yue Lan evaluated.

"Then Lian Shiqi must be their 'Ascend God' seed." A sharp light flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

"Isn't it a bit bad for us to just watch and reap the benefits here?" Wang Defa scratched his chin.

"Why not?" Su Yang chuckled.

"But if..."

"If they like fighting so much, let them fight." Su Yang picked up a laser cannon from the ground, examined it, and continued:

"Besides, the space is only so big. If we all crowd in, we'll just get in their way."

"Also, don't forget that I have to go deep into the tiger's den alone in the third trial. Just for that, they have a reason to put in the effort."

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The corpses on the ground suddenly trembled.

Then, under everyone's gaze, they slowly climbed up.

"This is... resurrection?!" Su Yang frowned.

The resurrected monsters and mecha soldiers had a much stronger aura.

The latter abandoned their laser cannons and directly took off their helmets, revealing their true faces.

Wolf heads and Yaksha heads came into view.

Their expressions were ferocious, their killing intent fully exposed.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked.

"The operators of the mecha soldiers are actually monsters too?!" Ximen Zhirou exclaimed.

This wasn't scientific!

Yet, something even less scientific happened.

The monsters cut open their abdomens with their bare hands and pulled out a bloody glass tube.

Then they crushed the tube and swallowed all the red liquid inside.

"Thump!"

The powerful heartbeat sounded like a drum, shaking people's hearts.

Accompanied by countless painful howls.

Their bodies grew visibly taller by double.

The height of nearly four meters was almost level with the ceiling.

At the same time, their muscles were also growing and swelling frantically.

In the blink of an eye, they transformed into "Red Giants."

"Roar!"

A loud roar erupted, and the terrifying sound waves instantly shattered the surrounding glass.

Seeing this, Su Yang's expression couldn't help but become more serious. "Fifth rank!"

The monsters' goal was very clear; they rushed frantically toward Lian Shiqi's group.

Except for Cheng Beixiao, they were all fourth-rank gene-modified.

Facing hundreds of enemies, there was no panic in Lian Shiqi's eyes. Instead, she instructed Zhang Wei, "Hold them off for five minutes."

Zhang Wei's stretched features revealed a gap, and as his mouth opened and closed, he made a sound: "Don't worry, my talent duration is long!"

After saying that, Lian Shiqi didn't retreat but advanced, taking the initiative to attack!

There were no orders issued within the team, nor was there any exchange of glances.

Relying solely on tacit understanding, they advanced together like infantry-tank coordination.

Cheng Beixiao charged at the very front, protecting his chest with one hand like a full-speed truck, slamming into a "Red Giant."

"Bang!"

Without any surprise, the werewolf was instantly sent flying over ten meters, slamming heavily onto the ground.

Su Yang's gaze fell on it, and he saw that its sternum was completely shattered, its chest visibly caved in.

It died on the spot!

"Such strong power!" Zhuang Wu was shocked.

Although he had already witnessed the strength of the "Blood Ghost."

Seeing it again, he still felt it was incredible.

Especially since the other party seemed to have undergone a transformation during this time, becoming several grades stronger.

Even with the loss of a dominant arm, he could still perform so terrifyingly.

He truly was a human weapon!

"He held back during your last battle," Su Yang said slowly.

"You mean..." Wang Defa's pupils narrowed slightly.

Su Yang nodded slightly. "If he hadn't held back, all of you would have been dead."

This was not a lie.

When they faced the "Blood Ghost" in the air-raid shelter, none of them were a match for him.

They didn't even have a chance to fight back.

Cheng Beixiao's extremely bizarre talent allowed for infinite healing.

And he grew stronger the more he fought.

The more he bled, the stronger his momentum became.

Just like a berserker in a game.

And Lu Junsheng, who took his punch head-on, was only embedded in the wall.

His internal organs didn't suffer too much impact.

Wang Defa had it the worst, but he only suffered a cervical spine fracture and still had a breath left.

This gave them a chance to breathe.

"Why?" Zhuang Wu was completely confused.

"Why what?" Su Yang turned his head.

"We have no connection with him, why would he hold back?" Zhuang Wu asked again.

"I want to know the answer to that question too." Su Yang shrugged.

Admittedly, he had no interaction with the "Blood Ghost."

Even his name was learned from "Starry Sky."

The only one who knew anything about him was Yue Lan.

Under these circumstances, the "Blood Ghost" didn't kill them all.

It was truly baffling.

"Bang!"

Cheng Beixiao's combat power was terrifying; with one punch, he instantly sent a Yaksha flying.

His fist was like a nuclear warhead; every time it landed, it produced terrifying tremors and impact.

By comparison, his leg power was even stronger.

With a powerful leg whip, the werewolf in front of him had its waist snapped, flying horizontally to slam heavily against the wall, turning into a puddle of mush.

"Hmm?"

Su Yang frowned. At the moment the werewolf died, he caught a trace of a strange aura.

This aura was very weak, but somewhat familiar.

Cheng Beixiao breathed heavily; under high-intensity combat, his stamina didn't decrease at all; instead, his skin became increasingly red.

His strength also grew along with it.

Between breaths, a ferocious ghost head flashed across his bare upper body.

It flashed and disappeared, hazy and hard to see.

"That is..."

Su Yang recognized its origin, and his expression changed.

"An emblem?!" ===== CHAPTER 1074 =====
