Chapter 362: Yang Chao’s Transformation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yang Chao started to feel bad upon seeing Tang He run. So, after hearing what Wu Chengyue said, his face darkened immediately. However, he had no spare attention for Tang He at the moment, because a huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking at him.
That lightning bolt was as thick as a pillar. It went straight to Yang Chao’s head as if it were conscious.
Yang Chao’s heart missed a beat. He felt a coldness from his spine, and a sense of crisis rose spontaneously in his heart.
He hurriedly tried to dodge. However, when he moved, the lightning bolt moved along with him. It turned in the air and again fell toward him.
That bolt of lightning was falling faster than the ones before by many times over. Within a blink, it caught up with Yang Chao and landed thunderously on his back.
“Ah!” Thud!
Yang Chao howled out loud as he was thrown to the ground by the explosion of the lightning bolts. This time, his body suffered a horrible lightning power, even though his wind power had taken a great amount of it for him.
“Ou-ch…” He rolled on the ground, then tremblingly struggled up from the ground. His black coat was ragged in the explosion, and his face had turned black.
That was the difference between his power and Wu Chengyue’s. They were at the same level, but the destructive capabilities of lightning power and wind power weren’t at the same grade.
Right after he got up, he raised his head to see another giant bolt of lightning coming at his face.
Boom! This time, he didn’t even manage to react before the lightning landed on him.
Wu Chengyue’s lightning erased a big half of his energy, and the rest began surging disorderedly in his body.
“Your life, and the lives of your subordinates. aren’t enough to pay back the people who have died because of your experiments.” Wu Chengyue’s cold voice was heard. He rarely talked so coldly. Normally, he would wear a faint smile, and his voice would be gentle and warm.
But today, although he was still wearing that smile, the look in his eyes was icy cold.
“Hehe… Haha… Hahaha… Do you wanna kill me? Do you think that’ll be so easy?” Yang Chao staggeringly got up from the ground, looking like a human-shaped piece of charcoal. Meanwhile, he burst into laughter, his face twisting.
He widely opened his mouth and bared his teeth while his mouth began cracking weirdly. Soon, his bones started to make a series of creaking noises, and his body began changing shape.
“Roar!” Streams of saliva flowed out of his widened mouth from between his teeth.
“Let me show you the results of my experiment! Hahaha…” When he was roaring at Wu Chengyue, his eyes were still clear, but carrying a crazy look.
Looking at Yang Chao who had already become half-human, half-monster, Wu Chengyue couldn’t help but cover his eyes and say, “Ugh… You have become so ugly. I honestly don’t want to fight you anymore! I can’t even bear looking at you!”
After saying that, he suddenly pointed at Yang Chao and swung his arm down to summon another bolt of lightning.
Boom! The lightning bolt fell from the sky. However, as it was about to strike on Yang Chao, he flashed aside and dodged it, then leaped onto the building nearby, quickly climbing up like a spider.
Bang! Another purple lightning bolt fell toward Yang Chao who was climbing on the building.
The people who were trying to find shelter around the building all looked at Yang Chao with confusion after watching him become a monster.
“He… He… Why did he suddenly become like this?”
“What kind of monster is this?”
At the moment, Yang Chao was crawling on all fours; his spine had turned huge and bulging, which made his entire upper body hunch. His arms grew even thicker than his thighs, fingers turned into crooked claws, and legs were bent weirdly.
He crawled quickly on the building, and soon leaped onto another wall.
“He’s running! Aren’t you gonna do something?” Xiao Yunlong stood behind Wu Chengyue and asked him.
Wu Chengyue waved a hand and brought a few lightning bolts down from the sky, sending them to Yang Chao who was on another wall of the building. However, the latter nimbly dodged them all.
“You see, he’s better at dodging now. And I guess, he might also be immune to energy attacks now,” Wu Chengyue stared at Yang Chao and said.
All of a sudden, he flashed onto the other side of the building and disappeared. Wu Chengyue hurriedly leaped onto the roof of the administration building, then darted at Yang Chao’s building.
As Wu Chengyue left swiftly, Xiao Yunlong followed behind him with curiosity.
Normally, level-seven superpowered people weren’t able to float in the air. The wind-powered ones were special, as their winds could support their bodies and allow them to float and fly.
Wu Chengyue jumped onto the roof of another building and launched a few lightning bolts in a row to attack Yang Chao, who was constantly dodging. However, as he just said, his attack failed to deliver any effect.
After suffering the lightning attack, Yang Chao was still crawling all over the wall as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Yunlong caught up with Wu Chengyue. Seeing this situation, he said with surprise, “Eh, your attack really seems to be ineffective on him.”
Then, he swung a hand toward Yang Chao. Following his movement, large amounts of metal objects turned into sharp metal pieces and surrounded Yang Chao, then flew at him.
“Roar!” Yang Chao dodge in a flurry. But still, some sharp metal pieces pierced into his body and made him howl in pain, also causing him to pause for a few seconds and slow down.
“I guess only physical attacks can hurt him now,” Xiao Yunlong put down his hands and said.
Wu Chengyue nodded and didn’t say anything as he kept chasing after Yang Chao.
Yang Chao had no desire to continue fighting at the moment. Instead, he was running toward the outside as quickly as possible.
On the other side, Lin Qiao, who had been playing with the little one, paused briefly, as if she had sensed something. Afterward, she confusedly glanced at the people who were still gathering around the window and gazing at the base center.
But soon, she carelessly turned back around and glanced at the bedroom which Lin Wenwen had gone in earlier.
She thought for a moment, then said, “Qingying, can you go to the bedroom and check on Wenwen? Maybe my words were too harsh for her?”
Long Qingying silently looked at her for a few seconds, then responded, “She didn’t go to… cut her hair, did she?”
Lin Qiao looked back at Long Qingying uncertainly, saying, “That’s impossible! She treasures her hair so much. How can she possibly be willing to cut it?”
Long Qingying slightly lowered head and thought for a short while, then said, “I don’t think so. You’re right, but I think she’s been a little weird these days.” While speaking, she raised her head to look at the others, and those people all nodded to agree with her.
“I’ll go check on her then,” she said and turned and walked toward the bedroom.
