Chapter 2072 Face Changing!

“So brutal!”

Although Li Yao had anticipated that the energy hidden inside the young man’s body was definitely not as peaceful as it appeared to be on the surface, the abrupt change from frozen ice to rumbling thunder still made Li Yao secretly click his tongue.

The Immortal Cultivators, on the other hand, were used to Li Jialing’s meek, lethargic behavior. Some of them who knew the purpose of the many refinements and experiments had been trying to force him to go on a killing spree, too, but to no avail.

Li Jialing would not hurt anybody—that was everybody’s preconception.

Nobody expected that Li Jialing would suddenly start to attack. The secret chamber was so narrow that the Immortal Cultivators’ clinking crystal suits were more of a burden than a help.

Li Jialing took a long breath in relief, as if he had exhaled the depression that had been held back for more than ten years. His lips curled into a cruel smile, as if that was his real appearance!

With a hideous face, he turned into a ray of death as agile as a ghost and bounced up and down among the Immortal Cultivators.

Dark golden stripes were vaguely emitting from his palms and his arms, forming unpredictable rune arrays. The crystal suits made of super alloys were as fragile as paper and wood under the tearing of his hands!

In the senses of Li Yao’s soul, Li Jialing’s overwhelming flames of spiritual energy broke the boundary of the fleshly body and turned into an invisible giant monster.

The tentacles of the monster filled the entire secret chamber and locked onto every breath of every Immortal Cultivator tightly.

Crack!

Another Immortal Cultivator was hit right in the chest brutally by the edge of Li Jialing’s hand that was covered in fire. His entire chest collapsed, and even the armor in the back broke apart.

Crack! Pu!

Another Immortal Cultivator in a super heavy crystal suit lunged at Li Jialing from behind, hoping to press the young man against the floor with his own weight and that of his crystal suit.

However, Li Jialing seemed to have grown an eye on the back of his head. He stepped forward in advance and grabbed the wrist of the Immortal Cultivator before him. Crushing the armor as well as the bones, he robbed the enemy of the long saber in his hand and stabbed it back, piercing right into the chest of the Immortal Cultivator behind him.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

The Immortal Cultivator in a super heavy crystal suit released a powerful spiritual shield, which triggered such intense smoke as if magma was flowing on a glacier, while he struggled to resist the attack of the saber.

Li Jialing was utterly emotionless. After a shake of his wrist, the saber turned into a cluster of broken pieces, which were then enshrouded by his spiritual energy and turned into a high-speed metal torrent that broke the spiritual shield unstoppably, blasting into the Immortal Cultivator’s chest!

In the blink of an eye, almost five Immortal Cultivators were blown away and cramped on the wall and in the corners. There was no telling if they were alive!

Grinning hideously, Li Jialing licked the blood stains on his lips and jumped at a heavy firepower crystal suit that was fully covered in firearms.

On instinct, the Immortal Cultivator wearing the crystal suit activated all the storm bolters, crystal cannons, and flying sword launchers on him. They were all emitting dazzling brilliance.

“Don’t kill him!” the Immortal Cultivator in the lead shouted. “Capture him alive!”

The Immortal Cultivator wearing the heavy firepower crystal suit hesitated for a moment, but Li Jialing had already grabbed the barrel of the storm bolter in his left hand and pulled it hard.

There was no telling whether the Immortal Cultivator panicked or Li Jialing’s movement affected his reaction, but a large cluster of fire spurted out of the barrel and darted into Li Jialing’s abdomen.

After a boom, a fireball exploded brutally above Li Jialing’s abdomen and below his chest!

As if he felt none of it, Li Jialing’s speed was not affected at all. He simply pressed both of his hands on the chest of the Immortal Cultivator’s crystal suit.

Boom!

The second explosion was a hundred times more shocking than the fireball that exploded between Li Jialing’s chest and abdomen. As Li Jialing’s spiritual energy flowed out of his palms crazily, every gap of the heavy firepower crystal suit was spurting out chaotic flames. The Immortal Cultivator inside the crystal suit had been burnt to ash!

Without the support of the fleshly body, and now that the joints and the connections were all shattered, the crystal suit fell to the ground in pieces like a collapsing castle.

It was not until then that everybody saw the bleeding, deplorable wound between Li Jialing’s chest and abdomen. They could almost see his spine through the broken internal organs.

However, a lot of granulation tissue was growing at a visible speed and repairing the shocking wound quickly.

Those present recalled Li Jialing’s ability to quickly recover his wounds that were caused when he did not counterattack at all during the fight with the green-haired gorilla just now, as well as Li Jialing’s tough performance earlier when he was against the mutated beasts. They all swallowed hard, feeling the urge to run.

Li Jialing did not bother to look at them at all. Like a combination of an animal and a fiend, he roared in excitement and dashed at the gate that was being closed quickly!

Shua!

Li Jialing ran crazily down the gloomy and cold pathway, with any place as a landing point for him. He was jumping and running on the floor, the walls, and the ceiling.

“Hey…” He looked to be a combination of wildly joyful and remorseful, but his soul waves were unbelievably calm. “You did follow me out of the room, didn’t you?”

“I did.” Li Yao followed the young man on Neltharion neither too far away nor too close. With an eye-catching target like Li Jialing attracting all the attention, he did not need to worry that anybody would pay attention to the air that had nothing on the surface. “I am just somewhat astounded by your performance. Your attacks are actually so brutal.”

“It was those guys who built me into what I am today. Every drop of pain that I bore was brought by them. Is there a problem ‘repaying’ them with the same pain now?” The cold smile in Li Jialing’s eyes was almost beyond disguise. He seemed to be somebody else after the killing spree. “They want a perfect slaughtering machine, and I have given them one. They should feel happy about it!”

After a brief silence, Li Yao said, “Why didn’t you attack the green-haired gorilla just now? I thought that you had a taboo, like ‘no killing’.”

“No killing? Wouldn’t I be an idiot?” Li Jialing said matter-of-factly but furiously. “There are a lot of people that I want to kill, except that I never had a suitable opportunity. They are insignificant ants anyway. Just let them live a while longer so that Li Lingfeng will misunderstand me!

“In my competition against Li Lingfeng, I barely stand any chance. Only if he is misled into making a bad judgment about my personality and my thinking patterns will there be a slim chance, if it can be called a chance at all. Now is the time!

“Enough of the talking. The wound in my abdomen is about to heal. Just hide inside now!”

Li Yao felt that his head was more and more befuddled when he heard the young man bragging about his challenge against a big shot of the Imperium and saw his face suddenly turning more brutal than ever.

The situation was already chaotic enough. Now that such a little monster had shown up, how on earth should it be resolved?

Also, what was going on with Han Te, Liu Li, the Fist King, and the rest of them?

In the Land of Sins, deep down the ground, a gory battle of penetrators was at its most fierce moment.

The capture, escape, and collisions of the penetrators were similar to the battles of the deep-sea submarines, except that they were a hundred times crueler.

Both the hunters and the hunted held their breath listening to the feeblest sound coming from the rocks in order to determine the coordinates and direction of the enemy.

They would also spray tremendous quick-drying gels in the rocks that they had drilled through and plant abundant crystal bombs.

The gels were meant to delay the speed of the enemy’s drilling, and the crystal bombs could destroy the enemy’s drills.

But no matter how carefully they avoided each other, there would always be a time when the two parties had a head-on clash with nowhere to run.

In that case, the battle would go on until no soldiers on one side were standing. Sometimes, all the crystal bombs and fuel stored inside a penetrator would be detonated to blow up all the rocks, and everybody would die together.

Nobody was willing to be captured alive in the profound rocks thousands of meters beneath the ground, which often meant an ending a hundred times more scary than death.

“Liu Li, watch out!”

Ever since they dispersed in the forsaken mine two days ago, the penetrators of the Immortal Cultivators had been following them like haunting ghosts. Cloud Penetrator, Zuo Jingyun’s earthly dragon, was unfortunately tailed by the enemy. After running about for more than twenty hours below the ground, it was still bitten by the enemy. The losses were so heavy that even Han Te and Liu Li, as two teenagers, had to fight like adult warriors.

Seeing that Liu Li was about to be hit by a storm of bullets, Han Te roared aloud. His entire left arm almost exploded, triggering a series of electric arcs that were condensed into an impenetrable shield and helped Liu Li block the fatal attack.

But he was blown backward by the counterforce and vomited blood crazily. His left arm dangled down, not having any strength anymore.

“Hehehe…”

The tall and brawny Immortal Cultivator on the opposite side aimed the thick barrel of the machine gun at Liu Li’s little head again. As if to savor the entertainment a moment longer, he even intentionally paused.

Then, his laughter turned into screams.

An iron arm dug through his chest and raised him high in midair before throwing him to the ground brutality into a pile of scrap metal mixed with blood and meat.

“Master Fist King!” Han Te and Liu Li exclaimed both in surprise and delight.

The Fist King seemed to have just passed a destructive storm. His iron body was barely intact. Two of the four arms had been torn off, and there were a hundred holes in his chest, from which sparks were popping out nonstop.

However, behind him was a penetrator of the Immortal Cultivators that was exploding and burning, as well as a whole ground of Immortal Cultivator corpses and pieces of their crystal suits.

“Lie down.”

Expressionless, the Fist King was unmoved by the two little fellows’ exclamation at all.

Han Te and Liu Li were slightly dazed. Then they felt that a torrent as scorching as magma brushed past their heads before screams of the Immortal Cultivators echoed behind them again.

“Don’t be scared.” Keeping Han Te and Liu Li behind him, the Fist King looked at his bloodstained fists and said peacefully, “I will protect you.”
