Chapter 612: The Unkillable Supernatural Ent.i.ty!
A’Ji looked like he had just been humiliated in the worst way possible.
He was so angry that his face turned red.
It had been years since he was rebuked so mercilessly.
He finally lost control over his facial muscles, and he shouted at the top of his lungs. “What do you mean by ‘take all the monster materials, high-grade crystals, and gene medicine here’? Everything here has always been mine!”
“Huh?”
Meng Chao and Lu Siya exchanged a glance.
They noticed that they had unwittingly discovered a really huge secret.
But the Vortex did not give them time to continue chatting.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
It flung all six of the Broken Claw Dragon’s claws at them like scythes.
Black adhesive liquid was behind the claws, serving as nerve bundles. It allowed the Vortex to change the claws’ direction, speed, and angle at any time it wanted, making them really look like the Death G.o.d’s scythes after they were connected to chains.
Meng Chao, Lu Siya and A’Ji’s pupils shrank into dots.
The three of them jumped and rolled away.
The black adhesive liquid stuck to the claws popped up slightly, literally growing eyes, and chased after their necks and hearts.
After dodging the Vortex’s attack, two deep wounds were left on the trio’s bodies.
“Are you sure that you don’t want to tell me the full truth right now?”
A’Ji covered the torn wound under his rib and shouted at Meng Chao, “Haven’t you realized that even if we work together, we might not win against it?!”
Meng Chao gritted his teeth and covered his aching neck.
His neck artery felt as if it had turned into a high-pressure fire hydrant. Blood gushed out from between his fingers. He only barely managed to stop it.
He had to admit that A’Ji was right.
Even though he was deeply wary of the X-shaped eye on A’Ji’s chest and was worried that A’Ji was just like his sister and had all sorts of messed up stuff like Night Demon Blood sealed in him, right then, the Vortex was their greatest enemy, and they could never hope to resolve the conflict between them.
“Cut off its tail!” A’Ji shouted. “Don’t let it continue sucking h.e.l.l’s Blood!”
In the beginning, the Vortex had extended a string of black adhesive liquid that was even thinner than a blood vessel from the end of its tail to deceive A’Ji. With it, it silently sucked the h.e.l.l’s Blood that flowed all over the floor.
Even though it managed to trick A’Ji, its speed was slow, and it did not satisfy its cravings at all.
Now, it had abandoned all disguises and decided to mobilize a large amount of black adhesive liquid to move over. The black adhesive liquid became as thick as spider threads. They swelled up as thick and long as pythons and started drinking up h.e.l.l’s Blood in large gulps.
There was no need for A’Ji to give this reminder. Meng Chao and Lu Siya both saw the drinking tail.
They also realized that once the Vortex drank up all the fragrant blue medicine, something really terrifying would happen.
“Blood Soul, second form!”
Meng Chao no longer hesitated. His spirit flames surged, and he used his vitality magnetic field to resonate with the Red Radiance Jade crystal marrow embedded on the back of the saber. The tremors were continuously magnified to interfere with the saber’s electron sh.e.l.l. He turned the energy into ma.s.s, causing the saber to instantly be covered by a layer of intersecting red lines. After it cracked, new saws and blades grew out of it. Its fearsomeness was ten times its normal form.
Meng Chao looked like he was holding frozen flames. With a roar, he jumped up and swung his saber at the Vortex’s tail.
The Vortex was enjoying its meal and did not want to be interrupted for even a second while it was drinking the medicine.
It did not dodge. It only swung its six claws to block Meng Chao’s attack.
But once b.l.o.o.d.y Soul was at full power, it was far stronger than it imagined.
At the moment the claws clashed against the saber, there was a loud noise. Bright sparks fell around them, and three of the claws cracked, while the other three were pushed back.
Meng Chao’s offense did not die out. His saber swung down and cut off the Vortex’s tail, stopping the creature from continuing to suck h.e.l.l’s Blood.
The Vortex was furious. Hundreds of black adhesive liquid threads gushed out of its wound to reconnect the severed claws and tail. The six claws and two gaping mouths turned into thousands of afterimages that went straight for Meng Chao’s head.
‘Isn’t this guy a little too hard to deal with?’ Meng Chao gritted his teeth and felt tired from just trying to parry the attacks. ‘Even after I cut off its parts, it repairs itself with black adhesive liquid. It can heal itself endlessly, so how can we fight against it?’
Even though Meng Chao’s Ultimate Style was famous for long endurance, over the past twenty-four hours, Meng Chao had fought against b.l.o.o.d.y Saber Gao Yang and Ghost Eagle Song Yu in Leprosy Village, then was. .h.i.t by the blast of a super crystal bomb, and had to endure the pain of being stuck under reinforced concrete that weighed more than one thousand tons.
After escaping with great difficulty, he was encircled by gang members and fought the first time against the Vortex. He was also struck twice by someone as powerful as Phantom Bear Xiong Wei.
He could no longer remember just how many wounds were on his body and how much blood he had lost within the short twenty-four hours.
Even if he had the powerful self-regeneration from Kindling and help from Su Mulian’s amazing healing, being torn apart and healing repeatedly caused all his cells to be on the verge of breaking down.
When he faced the Vortex’s barrage, Meng Chao soon found himself swaying, and his strength was falling short of his abilities.
His originally st.u.r.dy b.l.o.o.d.y Soul was also showing signs of falling apart.
Crack!
The two heads on the Vortex’s head and tail fought with increasing ferocity, and the mouths went to bite Meng Chao’s head repeatedly.
Even if the fangs were stopped by b.l.o.o.d.y Soul’s saber, the tongue that was covered in black adhesive liquid and spikes kept trying to lick Meng Chao’s face. With just one lick, they could take his face away.
When Meng Chao smelled the foul stench from the Broken Claw Dragon’s throat, he wanted to puke. He did his best to parry the attacks, but he could not stop the black adhesive liquid from getting closer to his eyeb.a.l.l.s. When the spikes on the tongue grew longer and were about to penetrate his cornea, he screamed, “BIG SIS YA, HELP!”
“Got it!”
Lu Siya had long since pushed her hands against the floor. A large amount of spirit energy gushed out from her palms, and she looked so tired that she was drenched in sweat, which made her thin fighting suit become wet.
Her chest rose and fell swiftly, but the floor refused to move. She could not summon anything from it.
“The floorboards here are made of super alloy! You know that I can’t control metal!” Lu Siya felt anxious and resigned.
“Just which b.a.s.t.a.r.d created this stupid lab?!” Meng Chao cursed.
“Hey, why are you cussing at me?!” A’Ji glared at him.
“Darn it all!” Meng Chao shouted. The hundreds of wounds that were healed not long ago were torn open again. His blood turned into steam, and it gave b.l.o.o.d.y Soul power, which finally allowed Meng Chao to push the Vortex away.
The monster cackled and pounced on him again.
Against its expectations, Meng Chao flipped b.l.o.o.d.y Soul over. He widened his eyes and shouted. Spirit flames surrounded the heavy saber, and he stabbed it into the floor.
The secret lab might have been built with super alloy, but there was a limit to the size of each board. It was impossible for the entire wall to be made of a single slab of super alloy. It would cause too much of a ruckus, and the difficulty in the construction process would be too high.
So, even if it was spread out on the floor, the largest super alloy floorboard was no more than two meters long.
Hence, no matter how finely the slabs were connected together so the naked eye could not possibly see any cracks, Meng Chao was a harvester with really good senses. He could still find the cracks between the super alloy boards through the friction he sensed on his toes.
The tip of b.l.o.o.d.y Soul accurately stabbed into the gap between two slabs.
As his spirit energy erupted like a volcano, two boards with a thickness of more than 10cm were instantly thrown into the air, revealing the reinforced concrete and rock strata underneath.
Lu Siya’s eyes shone. The spirit tattoos intersecting on her palms and fingertips immediately surged over.
Hence, just like it happened with the White Spirit under Raging Waves in the past, when the Vortex pounced on Meng Chao, a thick and long spike shot out from between Meng Chao’s legs and pierced its body.
The difference was that this time, Lu Siya’s ability at controlling spikes and stone dragons was much better than in the past.
Once the first spike pierced the Vortex and suspended it in the air, the second and third soon followed.
In just a short three seconds, more than ten spikes pierced the Vortex full of holes, and it could no longer move.
But Lu Siya did not stop attacking.
Blotches of red appeared on her face. Her pale lips moved at high speed, because she was using soundwaves to remotely control her spirit energy magnetic field. She sent a large amount of reinforced concrete to pile on the Vortex. Very soon, the monster was buried underneath and turned into an ugly cement statue. Only its head remained outside.
“D-Did you get rid of it?”
Meng Chao remained fearful. He gritted his teeth and raised his saber to cut the Vortex’s exposed head.
But blood was gushing out of his body, and he could not stop it. His fingers and arms trembled so much that he could not even hold a thin harvesting blade.
With a clang, b.l.o.o.d.y Soul fell to the floor. The sawteeth and fangs on it retreated, and it returned to its first form.
Meng Chao tried three times, but he was not able to pick up b.l.o.o.d.y Soul again.
He could only place his hopes on Lu Siya.
She grunted and swayed the next moment.
Blood trickled out of her nose, ears, and mouth.
It had been a long time since the Queen Bee was in such a pathetic state.
“Run! I-I can’t last any longer!” She smiled at Meng Chao.
“What?!” Meng Chao was shocked.
Crack, crack, crack, crack!
Intersecting cracks appeared on the reinforced concrete sealing the Vortex. With each pa.s.sing second, the cracks grew longer and wider. They could vaguely see thick and foul black smoke coming out from the cracks.
Very soon, the reinforced concrete near the Vortex’s head crumbled entirely.
It revealed its ugly face again. It used its black adhesive liquid to lick its fangs while it cackled at Meng Chao and Lu Siya.
While both of them felt chills down their spines, A’Ji’s incredibly cold voice came from behind them.
“Move.”
