Chapter 166: Gone in Smoke
There were two slight explosions in the sky, and the missiles exploded over the city. However, there were no flames at the time of the explosion, and there were only a few shrapnel. What they unleashed was another terrible force - the entire city fell into silence, and all the lights dimmed at once.
Ten seconds have passed since then. "Li Zhen" finally roared angrily: "You are looking for death!" ”
He gave up Li Zhen behind him, and then his body was stunned, turning into a black shadow and shooting towards the sky.
But Li Zhen smiled coldly, and the next moment the figure appeared behind the other party, grabbed the other party's ankle, and threw it at the other party-
"Li Zhen"'s body was pulled down by this huge force. However, before it hit the ice, it turned into a white mist, clinging to the ground line and scurrying into the distance. The extremely high speed tore through the air, and the air along the road formed a cutting knife because of this shock. Everywhere he passed, the ice burst open, and two long lines of ice crystals and snow foam splattered high into the sky, like a motorboat moving at high speed on the sea.
But Li Zhen immediately caught up - no more than two seconds. He made three consecutive jumps, stretched his body in mid-air, bent himself into a longbow, and slammed down!
Before the figure in the air dissipated, the ground was already emitting a loud roar. Two meters of snow were completely emptied and sprayed into the sky, followed by a huge amount of gray-black soil and dead branches and leaves buried deep in the soil.
A deep crater with a diameter of tens of meters appeared on the route of "Li Zhen", and the edge of the pit was high due to the rapid friction of the air. In the freezing cold of minus tens of degrees Celsius, green smoke rose from the cold.
Two figures appeared at the bottom of the pit.
A large hole was cut in the chest and abdomen of "Li Zhen", and the vertebrae were almost cut in two. The broken muscles were repairing themselves at an alarming rate, and with a look of disbelief on his face, he finally asked in a slightly panicked voice for the first time, "How is that possible?!" ”
His gaze fell on the Longinus spear in Li Zhen's hand—now it was more than two meters long, but it was no longer ivory, but it was covered with something bubbling like blood.
He repeated: "How is that possible? ”
Of course, he knew that this thing could cause harm to him, so he had made plans before leaving the city. Even if he couldn't understand or feel the kind of emotion that Li Zhen had for Kitagawa Qingming in the past, he still knew that the half skeleton was a very important thing.
He could make a deal with the other party at the cost of that thing, even if it was temporary.
In fact, the worst plan was to go in vain and to break up unhappily - because the bones were placed somewhere under Murmansk, as he said. Just press a button on anyone. That thing will turn to char in hundredths of a second.
What's more, he thinks he still has an advantage in some areas. It is true that the other party has the powerful spear of Longinus, but the two of them also have the power of "power". This amount of power prevents them from using abilities or psionic abilities like everyone else, relying only on the speed and strength of their bodies.
"Li Zhen" doesn't think that the other party will take the initiative to absorb the species like himself. Therefore, he felt that his current self, the strength and speed of his body had an overwhelming advantage over the other party.
But now he realizes that things are not what he expected.
The other party is terrifyingly strong - even if only slightly stronger than himself. But in the current situation. It's already terrifying.
There was no way he could escape. There's no way to go back and stop that.
And if he remembered correctly, the other party made three "jumps" when he caught up with him - that is, to create a void in the space in front of him, and then let the void pull him to achieve "teleportation". This is a skill that he himself has mastered. But here's the problem......
Li Zhen was only a dozen meters away from him just now!
He wielded psionic power in his realm of power!
Li Zhen shook the body of the gun, threw a little blood from the tip of the gun on the ground, and let out a sigh lightly.
In the three seconds that the other party was stunned, he calmed the blood in his body that was boiling and about to overflow the blood vessels, and soothed the beating heart.
"If you want to gain something, you have to lose something. This world is very fair. He smiled, "If I had absorbed the core part instead of you, you wouldn't have done any worse than me today." ”
"If you don't make a move, you lose everything. If you go the wrong way, then you can die. ”
His heart was beating wildly again, and he clenched the gun in his hand. In fact, he had pricked the palm of the gun with his fingernails before he could hold it, and pressed it tightly against the body of the gun before the wound had time to heal.
A vigorous and familiar force spread from the wound throughout the body, like a flock of mad bulls rushing into the veins, and sending waves in the river of blood, rushing straight to the heart.
The impact tightened his muscles, and his vision changed from a broad patch to a blood-red dot—only the slightly distorted and blurred face of the person opposite him at the very center of the dot.
The violent, mysterious, and ancient power once again broke through the shackles of power in an instant, and the blood-colored spear turned into a ray of lightning and shot straight into the opponent's head.
"Li Zhen"'s body moved sideways and flew back, narrowly avoiding the blow. But his vision turned white, and he heard a roar explode in his ears—a blast of thunder from the palm of his other hand, and the high-voltage electric current pierced the air and climbed up his body, burning his skin and paralyzing his nerves with an overwhelming heat.
It only takes a split second—even a transient of less than a hundredth of a second—for life and death to be a foregone conclusion.
The spear stabbed into the air and then struck to the left, striking the opponent's head.
The consequences of contact in hundredths of a second are quite terrifying. A slight pop rang out at the point of contact. The steel-solid skull cracked in the blow, and the crack quickly spread into a cobweb. and collapsed to the ground. Fragments of bones and skin splattered in all directions under the cranial pressure, red blood and white brains that were stirred up before they could be ejected, and then turned into a thick mist of color the moment they were exposed to the air.
It was as if it was not a skull but a ball filled with boiling water, and the flesh splattered the entire bottom of the pit, even striking the stones that emerged from the edges.
The headless body fell limply, spurting more blood from the severed skull. The muscles of the wound were suddenly densely packed with tiny eyeballs, which flipped and wriggled wildly, as if trying to re-heal the wound. However, the strength of Longinus' spear made the headless body's efforts futile, and after a dozen seconds, the eyeballs turned pale and stiff, turning to grayish-white stone.
The spear did not take advantage of the victory—the head of the spear was plunged deep into the earth.
And the man with the gun supported his body with this gun. Gasping for breath and blinking vigorously. It seems overwhelming.
After a few seconds of patience, blood finally flowed out of his seven orifices.
If anyone were standing nearby at the moment, they would have heard a distinct, frantic heartbeat—it was as if a small drum was being struck in a hurry.
Li Zhen tried to pull out the gun in his hand and brandished it again. However, the sensation coming from his body told him that he had reached the limit of his strength—the strength that he had just mastered had not yet been completely tamed. Any more violent movement could make you unbearable and end up in the same fate as the person on the ground.
So he stared at the constant black vision in front of him. Looking at the corpse on the ground through a layer of blood.
He knew that the matter was not over yet. I won't die so easily, and this person won't.
The corpse was slowly decomposing—as if time was speeding up, and it had completed the process of decaying in a matter of seconds.
The muscles on the body are detached, and dark red blood seeps into the soil. The exposed bones quickly dehydrated and sore the moment they met the air. It turns into a fine white powder and seeps into the ground.
Li Zhen waited anxiously for twenty seconds, and his heartbeat calmed down again. By this time, the corpses on the ground had disappeared—even the liquid that had been splashed on the stone was invisible.
Without hesitation, he waved his hand.
Without a certain degree of restraint, the power of psionic energy was finally fully exerted.
Thousands of miles of frozen land instantly turned into a red lotus purgatory. The snow and ice evaporated into water vapor in an instant, and the heat was staggering within a radius of several hundred meters. In an instant, the atomized vapor met the cold air above, and the violent hot and cold physics caused an earth-shattering explosion. The rolling shock wave spread violently around the crater, and the heat turned everything in front of it into char.
The originally cold and solid soil layer turned into wet mud in one second, and then turned into completely dehydrated powder in the next second, and was swept into the sky, becoming a sandstorm that rolled and spread.
In the face of such a devastating force, the earth seemed fragile. After the soil layer on the ground has been stripped of nearly three meters thick, the steam and sand dust are slowly dissipated.
It was all around it into a small desert - as far as the eye could see, the ground was smooth and smooth and covered with a thin layer of tulle. And Li Zhen walked out of the dirt pit and saw a human figure slowly squirming dozens of meters away from the northwest.
The baptism of nearly 1,000 degrees Celsius had not completely destroyed it, but its surface had become cracked, and warm blood had once again seeped out of the crack. One of its arms is still forming—
Li Zhen walked over and stuck a spear in its shoulder.
Then the wriggling flesh on the side of the arm scattered and turned dead gray.
The figure let out a low moan - as if his head had regrouped.
Li Zhen took a deep breath and flipped him over with his toes.
What was revealed was a face with no skin covering—even more terrifying than the human faces in the anatomical pictures. Because among its muscle fibers there are also tumbling little eyeballs.
Now those eyes were looking at him in unison, trembling, not knowing whether they were frightened or angry.
Li Zhen looked at him for a while, and the face could finally make a sound: "...... What the hell is going on? ”
The small eyes all slanted towards the spear in Li Zhen's hand: "This...... What the hell is it? ”
Li Zhen didn't speak.
He pulled out his spear and plunged it into the other's head. Stir it hard. And so the eyes turned pale again.
The torso was motionless.
He raised his hand and sprinkled flames and lightning on his body.
The incineration process lasted three seconds. After three seconds, all that was left was black, solid soil, as if all the organic matter had been carbonized.
Li Zhen looked up at the sky above the city of Murmansk.
From the time the two missiles were detonated to the present, one minute and forty-six seconds have passed.
In fact, the airborne landing has only just begun.
Five stratofortresses swept over the city of Murmansk at a low altitude, sprinkling white umbrella flowers one after another. There are nearly 100 umbrella flowers, but they are quite inconspicuous in the sky. Right now, the airborne raiders are gathering together, and they seem to have a booster device on their bodies.
But at the same time, artillery fire rang out. The electronic systems were destroyed, but the ground fire was not completely paralyzed. The anti-aircraft artillery fired into the air, and black clouds burst out one after another. The other side should be using shotguns. Li Zhen noticed that in just a few breaths. More than 10 people have already been fatally wounded.
Airdropping a surprise attack without completely suppressing enemy ground fire was clearly not a wise decision, but he knew that the airborne side was not unprepared. Or rather, the airborne side doesn't seem to care much.
Because the next moment all the shells that were fired into the air seemed to be silent, and none of them could burst open. It's like "bullet time" in a movie—hundreds of warheads are stuck in the air. And a figure in the air got rid of the white parachute. Falling fast.
The downward momentum slowed as he burst into the shell swarm. He was suspended in mid-air like a god.
A whole spot of light shone against the background of the blue sky - it was those cannonballs that had been stalled. But Li Zhen realized that it was not the shells themselves that were glowing, but that they were reflecting.
Under the action of a certain force, the warhead of the artillery shell is flattened, stretched, and reversed. They change from cones to thin metal panels. There was a long, tooth-aching sound of metal grinding, and at its end it was a stretch in the air, turning into a huge film that obscured the entire airspace above Murmansk.
Li Zhenzhi said, that one also came here.
So he smiled: "Long time no see, old Dai." ”
In fact, the early artillery warheads were indeed copper, but the modern warheads are only a very small part of copper, and most of them are only copper-plated.
But at the moment, it seemed that even that thin layer was enough for the "Bronze King" to unleash his strength—an extremely thin copper film that enveloped the other metals inside and stretched it into a huge shield.
But the shield doesn't seem to be used as a defense - as more and more warheads fly into the air and are swallowed and assimilated, the metal plate in the air becomes a "rain cloud".
The golden rays reflected the sunlight and shot down, like a torrential rain, baptizing the few anti-aircraft fire points in the city. In the distance, the roar of ammunition detonation could be faintly heard in the city, and thick smoke rose up.
Then there were subtle distortions, traces of flames, and even fragments of earth and rock flying into the sky—the powerhouses of Murmansk were launching a counterattack.
They were greeted by a rain of ammunition from the sky - by this time the raiders had descended to a height of tens of meters, and many of them were obscured by the buildings.
What awaits them will be a street fight, probably in the order of a hundred against a thousand.
However, with the Bronze King pressing the formation, Li Zhen was not so worried about the battle situation in the city.
He turned around and looked into the distance. That was the direction he had come, and the ice and snow hundreds of meters away were unaffected just now, still reflecting the sunlight in an icy manner.
He took a few slow steps in that direction, then quickened his pace.
Go about 100 meters. The ice shook slightly...... It's like a big fish sneaking beneath the surface.
And he followed the vibrating trajectory, and finally after a minute, a faint reddish color appeared under the ice. The thing panicked, scurrying left and right. It's a pity that its speed is not fast, and it has changed direction several times and even tried to dive underground, but it was only forced out by Li Zhen again.
In the end, Li Zhen raised the spear in his hand and stabbed it under the ice like a spearfish-
A small stream of blood jumped up, and the thing didn't move.
Li Zhen stomped on the heavy ice shell, squatted down and sighed: "This is your most ruthless method." So what is the candle dragon and Lucifer? ”
The spear was stabbed like a snake.
It is about a meter wide and has three pairs of fins on its back. However, it was no longer a glorious six wings, but a broken, blood-soaked fin.
But this snake has a human face, which is also a face that Li Zhen feels quite familiar.
The other party was stabbed in the back of the head by him and should have died immediately. However, he still had the last strength to speak. No longer the fear and fear of the past, but pure despair.
“…… I shouldn't have died like this. What can I do now...... You can't imagine how scary that is! ”
"I believe it." Li Zhenxin said calmly, "You just picked the wrong time and picked the wrong opponent." It is said that the victory or defeat of the master is only in an instant, and we can already be regarded as a tug-of-war. You are strong. ”
The other party was silent for a while, and then said, "So, what exactly is that?" How can you not be influenced by me? ”
“…… What kind of dreams do you say we had in the past? So what does it matter? ”
Li Zhen's face became a little hesitant.
He said again: "You know that I can't run this time." ”
In the end, Li Zhen sighed and leaned down.
He whispered something in the other person's ear for five minutes.
Then the human face raised its head with difficulty, rolled its eyes and stared at Li Zhen for a while, and a strange and strange smile appeared on its face.
"Then I feel much better."
He said.
It then turned into a long strip of black fly ash. (To be continued......)
