Seeing the changes in the few people, Xiao Yefeng nodded without activating his genetic state. He wanted to feel the difference in himself before and after entering, relying solely on the Geomancer's abilities to gauge how much his combat power had grown.
He took out eight Yellow Talisman Papers from the Tricolor Ring. At this moment, he had very few talismans left; originally, he carried these charms with him because he didn't have Peak Level at that time. Each time he accessed the Spatial Ring, it consumed a significant amount of Qi, so it was more convenient to carry them around. However, after being thrown into that liquid, Xiao Yefeng's clothes were decomposed, and items like the Seven Star Needle and Eight Trigrams Mirror were not affected by the decomposition, which was why they were kept by Consort Mi.
Thus, there weren't many talismans stored in Xiao Yefeng's ring. After taking out these eight prepared talismans, he realized he was nearly out. However, facing these Gene Warriors with only True Spirit high-level vision, Xiao Yefeng believed this would be sufficient.
He flung the eight talismans into the air, and a Golden Cyan Bagua Diagram faintly appeared beneath his feet. Once York and his four companions stepped into the formation, a massive Bagua Diagram emerged in Xiao Yefeng's eyes, with himself standing at the center as the master of the core. The five of them positioned themselves at the five cardinal points within the Bagua; each step they took would activate a part of the formation.
“Bagua Mirror - Dui Method - Great Dazawa Step!”
The eight talismans glowed brightly and transformed into a ball of flames that attached to the Bagua Diagram beneath him. In an instant, a yellow-skinned woman felt her long knife become as heavy as a thousand pounds. The others, including York, felt as if they had entered a gravity chamber during training, enduring extreme gravitational pressure.
Within the range of Great Dazawa Step, even a feather felt like it weighed a hundred pounds. The weapons in their hands dropped to the ground as if they were scalding hot. This included firearms; especially for the large black man who dropped his machine gun with a loud thud.
“What the hell?” York gritted his teeth and managed to increase his Gene Fusion level by five percent, raising it to twenty percent. However, he soon felt dizzy as he struggled to control the negative effects brought on by his genes. Nevertheless, his risky action alerted his teammates; seeing that increasing their fusion levels could counteract the gravitational effects, they all followed suit.
Instantly regaining their freedom, they quickly retreated. They understood that Xiao Yefeng's ability couldn't last long; clearly retreating was their best option. Moreover, since these four had lower Gene Fusion levels than York—at most around twenty-three or twenty-four percent—they would become disoriented if they reached twenty percent. Thus, they naturally dared not approach Xiao Yefeng.
At this moment, seeing the five retreating, Xiao Yefeng thought to himself that it seemed the power of Great Dazawa Step was related to the spiritual energy he infused. According to Consort Mi's records, once these individuals raised their gene fusion level to twenty percent, they could break free. However, since he had only infused ten percent of his spiritual energy, it appeared that while he used ten percent of his power, these individuals would need to exert double that amount to escape. After entering first, it seemed that the abilities granted by Bagua Mirror had also improved; he planned to test other methods next!
Moreover, what was crucial was that Xiao Yefeng discovered that after entering first, his entire realm had changed. According to Consort Mi's Constellation Research data, reaching thirty percent gene activation marked a watershed moment: from low to high—achieving ten percent fusion could reach Pseudo-Spirit Pinnacle while thirty percent could attain True Spirit Pinnacle. In other words, as long as Gene Fusion reached over thirty percent, one could surpass those who entered first; however, this was merely theoretical. A single Gene Warrior with thirty percent activation would absolutely not stand a chance against someone like Xiao Yefeng.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng realized that fighting against York and his group felt akin to facing Pseudo Spirits when he was at True Spirit level; it simply wasn't a battle of equal tiers. If Xiao Yefeng were to amplify his spiritual energy infusion into Great Dazawa Step further now, only York would be able to escape among those five; the other four would undoubtedly be crushed under immense pressure and perish.
"Captain, it seems we are no match for him. Should we call for the Master?" The burly man beside York, transformed into Leopard Man, suggested.
"No need! Don't be afraid. His abilities rely on those yellow papers. Look, they've already disappeared; he can't maintain that power forever!" York gritted his teeth and replied.
Hearing York's words, the four nodded in agreement, clearly convinced by his reasoning. However, they were unaware of the turmoil within York's mind. Call for the Master for support? Don't be ridiculous; the Master had already left with the most important potion data. They were merely left behind to clean up the site. York had taken it upon himself to seek some excitement, never imagining that Xiao Yefeng would have grown this powerful over the years. Now, York was scanning the surroundings, searching for an escape route.
However, upon looking around, he realized that most of the ordinary Gene Warriors he had brought were already dead. The girl clad in a fur strapless top and a short fur skirt wielded her spear with agility. The spear, made of an unknown material, pierced through the skin defenses enhanced by Beastification with ease, creating bloody holes with each thrust. Only two Gene Fusion warriors remained, struggling to hold their ground at around seventeen or eighteen percent of their capacity.
"Don't be afraid! Look, those yellow papers are gone! Everyone, attack together!" York exclaimed as he noticed the talismans around Xiao Yefeng had vanished.
"Die!" Learning from their previous mistakes, these individuals no longer approached Xiao Yefeng directly. Instead, they drew their weapons from their backs and unleashed a barrage of bullets toward him. Although Xiao Yefeng wanted to see how strong he truly was with their help, he quickly became disappointed after a brief encounter; these people couldn't inflict any harm on him. Meanwhile, Sophia was nearing the end of her battle; he couldn't afford to delay any longer.
Facing the hail of bullets without retreating, Xiao Yefeng tossed out the Bagua Mirror infused with Inspiration. The mirror floated upward as one corner representing Genius Position lit up. Immediately, Xiao Yefeng began chanting a spell with hand gestures. In an instant, two figures—one blue and one gold—enveloped him in a protective barrier. The incoming bullets were deflected by this radiant light, which York and his companions could only perceive as a mass of Golden Cyan Light.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng was astonished by the transformation of Geng Character Technique he had acquired from the Bagua Mirror—Mountain Guardian. Initially unremarkable and only protected by Golden Cyan's Carefree Righteousness, he never expected to summon two Divine Generals from Confucianism and Taoism to shield him once he entered the state. These two Divine Generals wielded a whip and a sword respectively, guarding Xiao Yefeng like a mountain range.
"Stop him!" York shouted as he drew a single-man rocket launcher from his back. Instead of aiming at Xiao Yefeng, he targeted Sophia, who had just eliminated her last enemy. With a whoosh, the rocket shot out. Sophia froze in shock; there was no time to escape now—the distance between them was barely ten meters. The speed of the rocket was beyond what someone at her True Spirit level could withstand.
After all, modern firearms were capable of killing even formidable opponents. At that moment, despair filled Sophia's heart. Just then, a figure dashed out from the right side and tackled her to the ground. The two rolled away for five or six meters and ended up behind York's vehicle.
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted as shrapnel and debris rained down on the battlefield like a torrential storm. The bodies of ordinary Gene Warriors were blown apart in all directions amidst groans of pain that followed closely behind. The angle of the explosion caught all four of York's teammates off guard; it was no joke that even Xiao Yefeng needed cover to withstand such rocket shrapnel—there was no way these Gene Warriors with less than twenty percent activation could escape unscathed.
"Captain!" Among the four, Black Man, who possessed crocodile genes, was the least affected due to his thick scales and his position at the back. However, a shard of metal had sliced a long wound across his right arm. In that moment, he instantly understood York's actions. After dodging the shockwave, he turned to look back, only to see his former comrade transformed into a four-legged beast, fleeing into the distance.
It was clear that York had abandoned his teammates and left alone, even sacrificing them for his own escape. The rocket blast had claimed the lives of two women in their group. Leopard Man was pierced through the abdomen by flying debris, and his breathing was becoming shallow; it was evident he would not survive. Meanwhile, Black Man had been injured in his right arm and had a deep cut on his left leg inflicted by York as he made his escape. He realized he had been betrayed.
A mix of disbelief and resentment filled his eyes. Just as he turned to look at the retreating York, two fingers pointed like a sword at his neck, piercing through the scales there. With a sense of unwillingness, he followed in the footsteps of his fallen comrades, lying forever on that grassy plain.
"Clean up the battlefield! I'm going after that guy!" Without caring whether Sophia could understand him or not, Xiao Yefeng pushed off the ground like an arrow and chased after the fleeing York. There were things Xiao Yefeng needed to extract from him, and he absolutely could not let him escape. If York returned with Virgo Palace Master and Capricorn Palace Master, Xiao Yefeng knew he wouldn't be so lucky to get out alive.
At that moment, Sophia had just pulled a spear from the fallen Leopard Man. Upon hearing Xiao Yefeng's voice, she noticed he had already vanished from sight, pursuing the one who had run away. She wanted to catch up with Xiao Yefeng, but seeing his speed made her give up. Although she didn't understand what Xiao Yefeng meant, she realized she needed to clean up the battlefield.
Looking around at everything, Sophia scavenged all the weapons from her fallen comrades and piled them onto a large cart. Though she couldn't drive, she was making the right choice.
"I hope those guys can buy me some time!" At that moment, using all four limbs, York, in his beastified state, ran as swiftly as a wild wolf. He felt no pain over betraying his long-time teammates; all he wished for was that they could buy him a little more time.
