In a fleeting moment of clarity, Qing shattered her Baihui Acupoint with a single strike, and to everyone's shock, the Spirit chose to self-destruct. This act obliterated the Specter that had been entwined around Qing's Spirit.
Before Xiao Yefeng could react to the sudden turn of events, Qing had already collapsed to the ground, lifeless. He rushed forward and embraced her lifeless body, but in such a tragic manner of death, Qing had no time to exchange words with him. By shattering her Baihui Acupoint, she lost control over her body, and with the Spirit's self-detonation, she severed her own path of Reincarnation while simultaneously killing the Soul that occupied her body.
The Soul's ability was to manipulate the souls of others. Yet, she ultimately perished under the very power she prided herself on. The Spirit was formidable, but its greatest strength often lay in its most vulnerable point. Qing chose to end her life through the Spirit's explosion, thus also ending the Soul's life.
Xiao Yefeng couldn't comprehend why Qing, who had sacrificed so many lives to activate the Divination Compass, would make such a decision. All he knew was that when the Soul took over her body, it must have done many things that even Qing could not accept. Although these actions were not of her own volition, she had personally killed all of Xiao Yefeng's teammates, including her own brother, Jie.
She might have been able to come to terms with everything else, but she could never forgive herself for killing her brother. Therefore, she chose to conserve her strength solely for the moment when she could resist the Soul. Indeed, this exceptionally intelligent woman calculated everything precisely! However, she did not anticipate that Xiao Yefeng would hold back at the last moment and not deliver a fatal blow to herself and the Soul. Thus, she took matters into her own hands to avenge her brother and eliminate her enemies.
Qing's departure shattered Xiao Yefeng completely. He had already learned that all his teammates were dead, and now the person he wanted to save had made a fierce choice to take her own life. Holding Qing's lifeless body in his arms drove him nearly insane. At that moment, relentless Steel Armor warriors closed in again. As Xiao Yefeng scanned his surroundings while cradling Qing’s body, he spotted a man trembling in a corner.
The Tricolor Jade Ring flashed brightly and absorbed Qing’s body into its space. Xiao Yefeng seized the Yin-Yang Sword and a large hammer embedded in the ground, his face like frost and his eyes filled with rage as he approached several researchers. Along the way, Armored Warriors were dispatched one by one by Xiao Yefeng’s sword and hammer as if they were mere whack-a-moles.
Standing before the man, Xiao Yefeng demanded, "How do we stop them?"
"I... I don't know!" The man struggled to respond.
"Don't know? Very well!" Xiao Yefeng sneered coldly and swung his hammer backward, sending a dozen pursuing warriors flying! With swift precision, he drew his sword and flicked three fingers into the air; after a scream echoed through the air, those fingers landed before the man while still twitching on the ground. The man clutched his left hand in agony as he screamed!
Blood gushed forth from his severed fingers as Xiao Yefeng stood before him with a cold smile and asked again, "Do you understand now?"
"You... you are a demon!" The man pressed hard on the blood vessels of his severed fingers; however, at that moment when he should have blissfully fainted from pain, he was unable to lose consciousness due to the agony of his wound. Looking at Xiao Yefeng with fervor, he exclaimed,
"A demon! If you worship the God of Sorcery, then I am indeed a demon!" Xiao Yefeng replied with a cold laugh. This scene was recorded by a tiny camera that had fallen from his chest during the fight. Outside the base, Han Duhuo and others were still reeling from shock at Xiao Yefeng's combat prowess when they heard his words and felt an icy chill run down their spines.
Especially as Xiao Yefeng held his sword in one hand with its blade pointed directly at this man's throat while blood from earlier still stained his lips due to emotional turmoil—this combination of indifference in his smile, sharp weaponry, and eerie blood made everyone watching on their screens tremble uncontrollably!
"You cannot defeat Lord God of Sorcery; you do not understand his power!" The man cried out despairingly.
"Maybe! If I go to him, perhaps I would be you now. But you must understand, as long as you are on Earth, I am still the strong one!" Looking at the man's mocking smile, Xiao Yefeng seemed to see the same smile from earlier.
Thus, Xiao Yefeng smiled slightly and a sword flower danced out. This time, he did not attack the researcher because at that moment, the Armored Warriors charged once again. Utilizing the power of his rage, the Yin-Yang Sword transformed into a blade, cutting through them like a storm of petals. The alloy armor was sliced apart under the Yin-Yang Sword as if it were mere paper!
"If I can't kill you, then I'll dismantle you!" Xiao Yefeng's thoughts were simple. Outside the base, Han Duhuo slammed his instrument and said, "We can't just watch anymore. The reinforcement signal from Perfect World has been triggered. We need to support Major Xiao from both inside and outside! Activate the insurance! It's our turn!"
In an instant, four or five Magnetic Storm Bombs were thrown into the Technological Barrier. The bombs detonated, and the remote-controlled machine guns were instantly taken out. At that moment, nine people rushed into the base amidst a hail of gunfire. However, all nine were powerful warriors who naturally feared nothing. They quickly tore through the outer defenses!
Hearing the sounds of gunfire and shouts in his earpiece, Xiao Yefeng smiled lightly and said, "Do you think I still need to stop them?"
Seeing the devilish smile on his face, the man finally trembled; his last reliance was gone. Xiao Yefeng was right—if he dismantled their limbs, even if they remained alive, they would be useless!
Looking at the debris scattered around him, the man laughed bitterly and said, "You win! But I haven't lost either! You don't know how to solve this; these warriors will become your nightmare!"
However, at that moment, Xiao Yefeng coldly chuckled and said, "It seems you've forgotten this!" He took out the notes he had wanted to grab earlier but had been stopped by Po.
Upon seeing those notes, the man's smile froze. At that moment, he regretted recording all that data. Watching it in Xiao Yefeng's hands made him sneer coldly before suddenly collapsing to his knees and covering his face in despair. Xiao Yefeng had intended to let him go; after all, anyone capable of recreating that Ancient Potion must be a valuable researcher. This person might still be useful in Huaxia's hands.
However, just as Xiao Yefeng turned away, the man suddenly grabbed an Atomic Gun from the ground and pulled the trigger at Xiao Yefeng! In an instant, countless atomic projectiles spewed forth like tongues of fire toward him.
"Stubborn and Unyielding! You deserve to die!" With a cold snort from Xiao Yefeng, he flipped his Yin-Yang Sword and deflected the atomic projectiles. Yet at that moment of desperation, the man pressed down on the explosion button of the Atomic Gun. Seeing its red light flash, Xiao Yefeng realized he intended to detonate it. He reached out with Ling Kong and grabbed an Armored Warrior who had lost both arms and could not rise but was still desperately crawling toward him.
Xiao Yefeng then hurled him toward the Researcher. Boom! The Atomic Gun exploded; however, at the last moment, instead of being thrown toward Xiao Yefeng as intended, it was unexpectedly collided with by an incoming Armored Warrior. The heavy Armored Warrior crashed into it and subsequently slammed into himself.
The explosion took both their lives—or perhaps just his own.
Watching as the Armored Warrior finally lay motionless, Xiao Yefeng understood that this thing had vital points: one was its heart and the other its head. No wonder it was so tightly wrapped! Nevertheless, he still needed a way to eliminate these Armored Warriors on a large scale! So he turned his gaze toward several other researchers huddled in a corner trembling with fear.
Seeing Xiao Yefeng's gaze upon them, they dared not make eye contact. One man spoke directly: "I know how to stop these warriors' movements; just don’t kill me!"
"Then you!" Xiao Yefeng said.
"I am Professor Connorsen's intern. I saw the professor activate a warrior with a command, and I guess that command can also stop them!" the man trembled as he spoke.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng glanced at him, his sharp features and arched brows giving him an imposing presence. Seeing this, Xiao Yefeng nodded and said, "Then you take control!"
He pulled the man to the edge of the workstation in front of the computer, and the man hurried over, unlocking the mainframe's password lock, voice control lock, and command lock. Finally, he accessed a program. His gaze swept over nearly three hundred containers around him as he rapidly typed a string of code.
He was none other than the intern who had just mentioned Professor Connorsen, the deranged researcher who was actually the top leader of this base. Now, this self-proclaimed intern was about to activate all the ultimate warrior containers. Although they were unarmored, they could certainly delay until reinforcements arrived. Just as he unlocked the last command password, he said, "I will issue the termination command now!"
However, at that moment, a cold blade pressed against his throat. In shock, he exclaimed, "No, don’t kill me! I'm the only one who knows this code!"
"Do you know where your flaw lies?" Xiao Yefeng asked.
"What?"
"Do you really think a graduate student would be protected in the center of a group of researchers?" Xiao Yefeng replied. The man's expression changed as he reached for a button nearby, but he suddenly found himself looking at his own back. Just as confusion set in, his head slammed heavily against the ground. It was then that he realized he was already dead!
At this point, Xiao Yefeng wasted no more time. There were only about thirty active ultimate warriors left in this internal research facility. He had already dismantled over a dozen of them; those remaining were struggling to approach him. Although Xiao Yefeng still didn’t know how to control them, human movement primarily depended on muscles and bones. He shattered their bones and severed their tendons, rendering them incapable of exerting their strength. This was also why Xiao Yefeng didn’t need those people to deactivate the ultimate warrior mode!
