Chapter 347: World Breaker
"Brother, you are their primary target, and you're injured, hide quickly."
Lin Xue entered a state of half demonization, sprouting bone spurs all over her body and even forming an exoskeletal armor, which looked somewhat imposing.
At this moment, looking at Lin Chao, who had hastily bandaged his wounds and injected painkillers before forcefully taking command, she felt extremely anxious.
"I have 'Intuition' that I am the most suitable to command in this environment, I won't go to the front line."
Lin Chao's every two words were accompanied by a slight panting.
A previous shot had pierced through his body.
Even though he relied on 'Intuition' and the Battle Technique 'Soft Body' to forcibly choose the least damaging mode,
he still sustained injuries to part of his lung, relying solely on painkillers to temporarily suppress the injury.
After casually dealing with his sister's concerns, he continued to command the personnel as if he were the backbone.
There were plenty of firearms in his hands, and there were various tunnels here.
Even if there was indeed a discrepancy in overall strength.
They were still barely holding the enemy at bay with the deterrent of firearms, explosives, and traps.
The sound of gunfire was incessant at his ears, and explosions occurred from time to time.
With every command from Lin Chao, he appropriately created local advantages for his side.
Although they were constantly retracting and their space to maneuver was being squeezed.
To have formed the current situation from being ambushed was already commendable.
But the huge disparity in strength, coupled with the ambush and long-range bombardment,
made the disadvantage all too clear.
No wonder they kept sending gangs to provoke; it was all to make the guards lax and used to having gang members nearby at night.
And now, out of the blue, came such an unprecedented attack!
"What an honor for my Chaoyang Society…"
Lin Chao sighed, extending his hand to take out a piece of paper, looking at the crooked words on it.
Someone was helping his family; the explosions on the periphery clearly indicated someone was attacking those augmented with machinery!
But...
"I wonder if those old fogeys will come."
Lin Chao's expression was also very serious.
Unlike the leader who was unable to be in two places at once, those guys, although each individually not as strong as the leader, could still cause him trouble everywhere. And since the situation had escalated this much, it was entirely possible for a few of those old timers to come down to press their strength into action!
If such experts were to come, then the current defensive position would be a joke…
"Qi'er! Damn it! You all deserve to die!"
Suddenly, an irate roar erupted, the deep and piercing voice seeming to press down the surrounding flames; just hearing it instilled fear.
It was the Supreme Elder of the Longxi Clan!
This old man had actually showed up!
However, Lin Chao also heard the name he was muttering.
Qi'er?
Could it be Qi Xuan?
The former head of the Longxi Clan had strength close to a World Breaker and was among the top powers in the Inner City.
Moreover, he had an excellent Dragon Blood Implant and also trained in Gang Qi, which made him extremely powerful.
He was known as the man most likely to transform into a dragon in the Longxi Clan in nearly twenty years.
However, after being severely injured by the leader for his clan's actions and left with a troubling ailment that seemed incurable, it seemed he would never be able to transform into a dragon in his lifetime.
Therefore, the Longxi Clan harbored a deep hatred for the Chaoyang Society.
Qi Xuan was another prodigy of the Longxi Clan, just a bit younger than the former head.
Once it became clear that the clan head had no hope of transforming, Qi Xuan became the focal point of the family's resources.
And now he had come, and there was trouble?!
"Old Lizard, mind your force; don't draw the Inspector here."
Another powerful voice came from the other side, causing Lin Chao's expression to change once more.
"The old lion from the Battle Lion Clan has come too…"
Two of them coming at once was truly giving too much credit to a Chaoyang Society without its leader!
The Battle Lion Clan also had bloodline implants, but their implants were secondary, specifically optimized, while their main focus was on Battle Techniques.
Both their clan head and this old lion had trained their Battle Techniques to a World Breaker level!
In one-on-one strength, they might be inferior to that old lizard, but in a world where power was restrained and they dared not draw the attention of the Inspector, they could exert even greater force.
As long-term adversaries who had witnessed the leader's might, many people recognized the voices and despair appeared on their faces.
Soon, even the flames began to die down to make way, and straight ahead, a path opened on both the left and right. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire
On the left side was a frail Lizardman who looked like a dragon, with dense, sharp teeth in his mouth and a face covered with lizard skin wrinkles, a white beard hanging from his chin. Although not easy on the eyes, he was the Supreme Elder of the Longxi Clan, a mighty figure who ranked within the top ten of the Inner City.
On the other side stood a tall, burly man with a mane of golden hair and a full beard, appearing almost normal apart from that.
The powerful auras of the two made way for the flames.
Without even approaching, they had already imparted an overwhelming pressure on the members of the Chaoyang Society hunkering down near the headquarters.
They didn't even dare to shoot!
However, Lin Chao knew that for such powerful beings, shooting was meaningless, and rocket launchers were too conspicuous and difficult to manage!
"Who killed Qi'er!"
The old Lizardman's chilly vertical pupils swept over the people before him. Everyone but Lin Chao dared not meet his gaze and avoided it.
Even Lin Chao, who had met his gaze, felt a chill in his heart. This was likely some kind of Skill of the other party, there had just been a probing of his spirit.
"Hmph, not here."
After looking around, the old Lizardman seemed to have confirmed his suspicion.
"But, Qi'er died here, and it's you, the Chaoyang Society. I want you all to be buried with him!"
The rage in the old Lizardman's heart was clearly written on his face.
He had less than thirty years left to live, and if he didn't have some kind of fortuitous encounter, he supposed his life would end there.
If his clan couldn't produce a new World Breaker before his death, it would inevitably lead to a rapid decline of the clan.
There had been two individuals in the clan who had had a chance, things were looking settled, and there might even be two more World Breakers emerging after his death, attaining even more resources.
With the clan's resources backing them, it had been a sure thing.
But who would have thought that today, one would be injured and the other dead, all thanks to this Chaoyang Society!
This made white smoke begin to billow from his lizard nostrils, and a scent of sulfur come from his mouth.
Even with his power held back, you'll all die!
He suddenly inhaled deeply, and his belly seemed to swell up like a drum.
An extreme premonition of danger danced in Lin Chao's heart.
Bad, can't dodge it!
But in the next moment, his premonition of danger rapidly diminished.
On the other side, the old lion's expression changed as he warned,
"Be careful!"
The old Lizardman's own power was nothing to scoff at. While lv5 Meditation Technique might not make him a Meditation master, combined with his inherent Perception abilities and bloodline talents, his sense of life and death was extremely strong.
"Aaoo~"
The flames he was ready to spray forward suddenly shifted, beginning to spread around him.
The flames, resembling liquid magma, burst from his mouth. Upon contact with the air they ignited instantaneously and expanded into plasma, with temperatures high enough to vaporize steel!
As he turned his head, it was as though he was enveloped by a fiery tornado; the air itself let out a screeching noise from the heat.
Even though Lin Chao and the others weren't hit by the flames, they felt a wave of heat wash over them.
Yet within this fiery tornado, the old Lizardman, whose skin was wrinkled, had a solemn expression.
Suddenly, he raised his hand.
Almost at the same time, the fiery tornado around him quickly reshaped, and a flame dragon head accompanied by a Dragon's Chant pressed down on him.
That seemingly shriveled palm suddenly flashed with a blood color, as if it was covered by thick blood plasma. He also muttered some strange Dragon's Chants from his mouth.
The next moment, it collided with the pitch-black claw within the flame dragon head.
Boom~
The fiery tornado shattered thunderously, leveling the nearby burning ruins, sparks flying everywhere!
The pieces of rubble scattered around like shrapnel, making whooshing sounds as they cut through the air.
Then, in the incredulous eyes of Lin Chao and the others,
The powerful old Lizardman actually slid backward, feet grinding against the ground.
Even though his legs were pressed into the ground, forming two dug-out furrows, a pile of earth accumulated behind him, almost burying his thighs.
Tao Yu, who had also been sent flying, landed and couldn't help but retreat several steps upon touching the ground.
His shadow seemed to crack, like glass shattering making a crunching noise, breaking into pieces. The ground covered by the shadow also continuously cracked and crumbled, transferring all the excess physical pressure.
Even after most of the force was shifted by the shadow, Tao Yu's palms were still numb, and he felt a pang of pain in his bones, his Qi-Blood roiling within him.
That last hit didn't feel like striking a frail old man at all, but more like colliding with a Tyrannosaur!
The shriveled palm was harder than steel!
With brutal strength and the other's mysterious blood energy, he had actually been at a disadvantage without using the Tri-Une Skill!
If it weren't for Phase Shift transferring a great amount of force to the shadow side, he might have been even more seriously injured!
He might not have used the Tri-Une Skill, but the other party hadn't transformed either.
Pfft~
Watching the old Lizardman on the other side spit out a mouthful of blood, Tao Yu also let out a sigh of relief. So you were injured, you gave me quite the scare.
That seems to be a draw then, evenly matched.
Since we both have trump cards, let's see whose is stronger....
