Chapter 713 - 683: Desperate Counter-kill (Middle)

As the black shadow entered the Mecha’s defensive perimeter, it didn’t waste a word and made a beeline for the Rare Level Mecha piloted by Liu Miaomiao.

Although the black shadow had looked quite battered just now—it had even turned a tenth more illusory after fighting its way here from the outer perimeter—in truth, while Energy could inflict a certain degree of damage on it, the damage was significantly weakened and not particularly noticeable.

For the black shadow to have weakened by a tenth in such a short time, at least half of that damage had been dealt by Liu Miaomiao.

After all, the Life Control Superpower was, in a way, truly a bug-like existence, completely ignoring all Defense.

Whether it was a First Level Mutated Zombie or a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie, it made no difference to Liu Miaomiao; she could even drain their Life Force at the same speed.

Of course, the higher the Level, the greater the Life Force contained within the body, which was the only reason it could withstand her for a short period.

But in a sense, losing Life Force was far more terrifying than being injured. It wasn’t something easily replenished.

That was why, after breaking through, the black shadow’s first target to kill was Liu Miaomiao.

But Lin Xinghai was already prepared for this. The moment the enemy broke into the Mecha’s defensive perimeter, he simultaneously rushed toward Liu Miaomiao’s position.

At the same time, he shouted into the communication channel, "Qian Xingxiu, now!"

"Got it!" Qian Xingxiu replied. He took a deep breath and unleashed his Superpower with all his might once more. This time, he was truly going all out, even preparing himself to be severely injured by the backlash.

The instant he activated his Superpower, specks of starlight appeared around the black shadow’s body.

However, the black shadow had suffered at the hands of the Starlight Chain once before. This time, fully prepared, it instantly changed direction, trying to evade the area.

Normally, Qian Xingxiu’s Starlight Chain Superpower was virtually instantaneous for others, making it impossible to dodge.

But the black shadow was too fast. When it unleashed its full power, its Speed could reach a staggering 80,000 points.

Under these circumstances, it was about to escape the starlight’s coverage in the blink of an eye.

However, what the black shadow didn’t expect was that the starlight around it, after flickering once, seemed to teleport out of thin air and envelop it again.

This was another powerful aspect of the Starlight Chain Superpower: as long as the target was within the range of Qian Xingxiu’s Superpower, the starlight could move through empty space, making it utterly impossible to evade.

Countless Starlight Chains materialized, locking the black shadow in place.

At this moment, because Lin Xinghai had acted a step ahead, he was less than a hundred meters from his opponent. At their Speed, this was practically point-blank range.

The instant he confirmed the black shadow was restrained by the Starlight Chain, Thunderbolts erupted from under his feet. In that moment, he executed Thunder Stepping.

His Speed instantly skyrocketed from 62,900 points to 160,000.

At that moment, Lin Xinghai was truly as fast as lightning.

As he closed in on the black shadow, Thunderbolts erupted from both of Lin Xinghai’s hands.

In his left hand, he held an Alloy Long Spear he had just borrowed from someone else. Thunderbolts were already coiling and compressing at its tip—the sign of a brewing Thunderstorm.

Of course, the power of Thunderstorm wasn’t overwhelming. Even with various buffs, it could at best barely reach the level of the Divine Demon Realm.

Moreover, when the Cloud Burst Bomb had detonated, he had only managed to grab his Gauss Rifle. Without the boost from his miniature Mjolnir, this move’s power was even weaker.

The current Thunderstorm would have trouble dealing with an ordinary Fourth Level Mutated Zombie, let alone this black shadow, which was at the Fourth Level Late Stage and possessed bizarre abilities.

But Lin Xinghai was only using this move as a setup. His real killing blow was in his right hand.

At this moment, Lin Xinghai’s right hand was empty. But as lightning continuously erupted from his palm, the bolts began to intertwine and weave together, gradually forming the shape of a spear shaft.

At first, the shaft was only an inch long, but as more Thunder Power was injected, it rapidly extended, growing longer and longer until it became a spear about a meter in length.

But this wasn’t the end. This was merely the rough shape of the spear. As Lin Xinghai continuously poured in his Thunder Power, the spear, which had been composed entirely of Thunderbolts, gradually began to feel solid.

The lightning coiling around it also rapidly compressed into the spearhead, while one intricate Rune after another appeared on its tip.

With the appearance of these Runes, the spear forged entirely from lightning began to transform into a solid object. Aside from the unusual Runes on it, it gave off a surprisingly unremarkable feeling, but only the one holding it could sense the immense Energy contained within.

This was the strongest offensive technique from the Thunder Divine Body’s legacy: the Thunder God Spear.

To truly form the Thunder God Spear, one needed to use Spiritual Power to condense nine Runes onto it. This obviously required Time. Even with his Time Acceleration Ability, Lin Xinghai couldn’t complete it instantly.

By the time the fifth Rune had condensed on the Thunder God Spear in his hand, Lin Xinghai had already reached the black shadow.

The distance between them was only a meter. At such close range, just feeling the killing intent radiating from the black shadow made Lin Xinghai’s limbs feel slightly stiff.

This was the suppression from a higher life form. If his opponent weren’t bound by the Starlight Chain, unable to move an inch, it probably could have swatted him to death with a single slap.

But now, Lin Xinghai was a bit more reckless—or at least, he could be for the 0.5 seconds his opponent was bound.

Without waiting or hesitating, he thrust out with the Alloy Long Spear in his left hand, which was already charged with Thunderstorm.

As the spearhead pierced the creature’s body, Lin Xinghai felt a slight obstruction, but the resistance was so minimal that the tip passed straight through without him even needing to apply force.

Lin Xinghai knew this feeling well—it was what happened when physical attacks were ineffective. But he wasn’t discouraged, as this was exactly what he had expected.

So, without hesitation, he detonated the Thunder Power contained within the spearhead.

The reason the Thunderstorm move’s Attack Power was so frightening was its incredibly strong burst capability.

Countless bolts of lightning erupted from the spearhead, raging in all directions. Under these circumstances, this strike was a pure Energy Attack.

The terrifying lightning raged, continuously canceling out and annihilating the creature’s body.

"$%#%#!" At that moment, the black shadow let out a string of curses.

’Yes, even though I can’t understand what it’s saying, I can tell from its twisted expression that it’s cursing furiously.’

He instantly understood why it was reacting this way. Lightning Energy, being of the purest yang and hardest nature, was at least twice as effective against the black mist as other types of Energy.

This spear thrust, which should have only been powerful enough to touch the threshold of the Divine Demon Realm, had actually produced an effect equivalent to the Divine Demon Realm Middle Stage when it hit the black shadow.

Of course, Lin Xinghai wasn’t using the Thunderstorm Attack now just to deal a bit more damage. He was trying to find a weak point in the creature’s body to prepare for the final, fatal blow.

So, in the instant the Thunderbolt erupted, Lin Xinghai moved the spearhead around rapidly inside the creature’s body, searching for that weak point.
