Holy shit! Where did that massive force come from?!
After going through so many rounds of enhancements, this was the first time Xu Mo felt like Bai Feifei's physical body couldn't withstand the impact.
After flying through the air, he still managed to stabilize himself using his powerful physical fitness. He felt a sharp, twisting pain in his internal organs, coughed a few times, and looked up in annoyance.
He had assumed that the only person who could catch him off guard and leave him powerless to resist was Liu Yun.
But he realized he was wrong.
Liu Yun was in an exceptionally terrible state today, completely slacking off and dazing out. She just stood there, seemingly lost.
Instead, an old man had suddenly rushed over and sent him flying.
—It was none other than Qiu Jing!
At this moment, this Edgerunner from the Scavenger Headquarters was flushed red, his eyes locked onto Liang Shuguang. “What did you do to me?!”
As a headquarters member, he had frequently visited Dawn City in the past, and Liang Shuguang had always treated him with exceptional hospitality.
He never expected that this guy was actually plotting against him!
“Holy shit?” Having stabilized himself in the distance, Xu Mo couldn't help but let his mouth run. “Do you two have some kind of secret affair?”
Qiu Jing shot a fierce glare at “Bai Feifei,” but he had no time to worry about that woman. He turned back to Liang Shuguang. “There was something wrong with the medicine you gave me back then?!”
With two blades still impaled in his body, Liang Shuguang smiled as if nothing was wrong. “Didn't you also say it was good stuff back then?”
Qiu Jing gritted his teeth. Feeling the violent churning inside him, he roared in fury, “Cut the crap! Don't preach your bullshit ideals to me. Just tell me how to fix this!”
A mischievous glint flickered in Liang Shuguang's eyes as he spoke:
“Fixing it... well, I'll have to think about it. But my life is currently in danger since someone is trying to kill me, so I might not be able to think straight.”
Qiu Jing: ?
“You dare fucking threaten me?!”
With that, he grabbed Liang Shuguang by the throat. But in the next second, he violently coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Turning his head, he saw Kong Man charging toward him with an annoyed expression.
Looking at Qiu Jing's state, Kong Man found it strange. She never expected that bizarre potion would actually affect a Prophet as well.
But compared to that, she had more important matters to attend to right now.
“Did you forget my warning?”
“You Ranger woman, stop meddling here! Do you want to die?!” In his desperation, Qiu Jing cast all caution to the wind and cursed directly at her.
【A single tree becomes a forest, ten thousand trees grow wild!】
The Word Soul escaped his lips, and vegetation grew frantically around Qiu Jing. Every single vine, wrapped in a blinding green light, erupted from the ground, tearing up half the street.
The air around Kong Man instantly grew damp. Moisture condensed out of thin air into liquid, forming a small puddle beneath her feet.
【Water of Oblivion, submerge my body!】
Stomping her foot, the puddle beneath her exploded. A single droplet of water hovered at her fingertip. She extended her middle finger and gave it a gentle flick.
The instant the droplet was flicked, it transformed into a colossal, sky-blocking wave, crashing toward Qiu Jing as if it could submerge the entirety of Dawn City!
Towering trees shot up from the ground, reaching the sky above, only for the raging torrents to smash the giant wood to pieces. Fragments of water and wood exploded into a city-wide storm.
The entire city trembled, as if this dry land had suddenly been hit by a hundred-meter-tall tsunami. Quite a few people ended up clutching wooden planks, drifting down the flooded streets like sailors.
A clash between Prophet-level combatants, even if it was just a probe, and even if it was just a single exchange, almost caused Dawn City to fall.
Yet even so, the giant screen overhead remained completely unmoved.
Meanwhile, Xu Mo seized this opportunity to rush to Liang Shuguang's side immediately.
His sword had clearly pierced right through the man's heart earlier, yet he was still jumping around as if nothing had happened, and even had the fucking nerve to threaten someone else.
What the hell was wrong with this body?
Black energy channeled along the blade, surging destructively into Liang Shuguang's body. He intended to use that violent power to crush him from the inside out.
But it seemed completely useless.
The man's body defied all logic. Just as he had said, it was as if only an empty shell remained, completely hollow inside.
Liang Shuguang looked down at his chest, then looked back up at Xu Mo, even smiling and nodding.
Xu Mo's scalp tingled.
Before he could even ponder what kind of physical state this could be, a thick vine swept across.
Crack!
A wooden whip lashed out. He raised his sword horizontally to block, but the force still sent him flying.
It was Qiu Jing coming to the rescue again.
He was incredibly frustrated right now. His face shifted from red to black, black to blue, blue to purple...
Even though he had been set up by Liang Shuguang, he had no choice but to protect him first since he couldn't afford to let him die before getting answers.
Kong Man's figure condensed once more from the water mist. She looked at “Bai Feifei” and snapped her fingers.
“Hey sister, you don't need to worry about this old bastard for now.”
She jerked her chin toward Qiu Jing, a dangerous curve flashing in her almond eyes.
“Don't worry. Go ahead and do your thing, I'll take care of him.”
Xu Mo glanced at her and formed a thankful heart sign with his fingers.
Rangers were all eccentric, emotional people, and Scorpio Kong Man was exceptionally unpredictable, her actions completely devoid of obvious motives.
For instance, she had been slacking off for ages, yet now she suddenly stepped up to take the initiative.
But it didn't matter. Having a wild card around was always a good thing.
He scrambled up from the ground and lunged forward again, appearing right before Liang Shuguang with a sinister grin.
“Your body is certainly unique. Not bad, you've actually piqued my interest!”
As he spoke, a single drop of blood welled up from the tip of his left index finger.
The droplet was pitch-black like ink and as viscous as melted asphalt. The instant it seeped out, Xu Mo plunged his hand directly into the other man's wound!
【Source of Bloodline】 activated!
At that moment, the Heart of the Real World in his chest suddenly contracted, then began to beat at an almost frantic speed.
He wanted to see if the other man's body was truly unique, or if his own blood, fused with two Evil God components, was superior!
“Come on!” Xu Mo grinned. In this brief second, Qiu Jing was too tied up to stop him.
“Let me see just how special you really are.”
At Liang Shuguang's chest, right where Xu Mo's hand had penetrated the wound, black currents of energy instantly spread!
For the first time, the smile on Liang Shuguang's face froze, and his expression shifted drastically.
Xu Mo stared back at him, his eyes unblinking as he awaited his reaction.
But immediately after, a notification popped up on his panel that left him utterly dumbfounded and on the verge of cursing.
【Source of Bloodline: A 'qualified' member has been successfully identified.】
Xu Mo: ?
Staring at the notification, Xu Mo's mind went blank, his entire body going numb.
Because those elders with unstable powers had immediately aberrated the moment his blood entered their bodies, he had grown used to this ability acting as a specialized counter against those wielding anomalous forces.
Who would have thought that this time, it would tell him the target was qualified?
Qualified my ass!
What the actual fuck? My ultimate killing move just turned into a buff for the enemy?!
“You of all people are qualified?!”
But right after that, the panel glitched once again.
【Data error, data error...】
