Chapter 352: Chapter 78: Li Yan’s Response (Part Six) Chapter 352: Chapter 78: Li Yan’s Response (Part Six) The ability nature of “Proton Starfire” is, to a certain extent, the complete opposite of “Winter Yak”.
It allows the user to decompose a large number of free radicals from the surface of matter or even the air upon contact, catalyzing a chain reaction of combustion.
At the sa ti, Proton Starfire can also suppress the production of free radicals, allowing material to bathe in flas without sustaining any damage.
Of course, since its chanism is far less dominant than that of Winter Yak, Proton Starfire cannot be activated in the presence of Winter Yak.
From this perspective, Proton Starfire is not considered an especially powerful genetic ability.
Or rather, as a genetic ability of the Yak lineage, integral to the entire skeletal structure of the evolutionary blueprint, it is inherently superior to the vast majority of fourth-order abilities.
Even so, the superiority of an ability doesn’t necessarily correlate with its combat effectiveness.
…
Li Yan rushed towards the mountain peak, ice frost spreading from under his feet and golden flas clashing, triggering a series of atmospheric explosions.
Facing the imnse shockwave, his figure wavered, using water currents to dodge the explosive core, his Tiger Head Great Spear thrusting straight at Liang Zhengyong!
Tiger Rises!
Facing the ferocious oppression of Li Yan, Liang Zhengyong’s brows shot up, as he grabbed pieces of crashed tal debris with both hands, golden flas igniting them, the debris lting into deep red molten iron in the fire, and eventually forming two simply designed long knives.
In Li Yan’s eyes, the unemotional middle-aged man before him suddenly shimred with a deep red light.
This was a warning of the threat level.
Li Yan, whose strength was on par with the peak of Nine Luminaries due to enhancents from “Wu Zhiqi” and “Quanlang Sea Ghost,” saw the deep red threat level, indicating that Liang Zhengyong’s power was comparable to his own at the mont.
And that was despite Liang standing alone, without carrying any matching weapons or equipnt!
Boom!
The terrifying golden flas around Liang Zhengyong erupted once again, and this ti Li Yan found that the white ice frost around him was actually starting to burn, rolling up along the spear towards him!
Li Yan let out a hiss, the water mixed with ice shards contracting around his arms and chest, golden flas billowing everywhere, pressing in from all directions.
Under the relentless pressure of the flas, the water orb protecting Li Yan shrank step by step. The surrounding glaciers and flowing water were easily ignited by the golden flas!
This golden fla, like Disaster Water, possessed so mystical characteristics that could even set water ablaze.
As the golden flas were about to engulf Li Yan, the water orb enveloping him collapsed inward and then violently burst outwards, shooting out black rain arrows.
Disaster Water!
Nine Phoenix Power!
A segnt of a rain arrow pierced through the flas, grazing Liang Zhengyong’s hand, quickly corroding a large chunk of flesh and blood. Liang Zhengyong promptly cauterized the wound to stop the bleeding.
The black Disaster Water and the golden flas tangled fiercely, with neither side gaining the upper hand for the mont.
Clenching his teeth, Liang Zhengyong leaped towards Li Yan, clearly perceiving that his opponent was not adept at using this flesh-eating, bone-corroding strange water, especially since the act of casting it caused Li Yan’s originally smooth and agile movents to beco more than fifty percent stiffer!
Amidst the alternating crackle of water and fire, black and gold, the air oscillated between excruciating dry heat and freezing cold.
In the chaotic airflow, two figures interweaved, the massive currents lifting debris from the ground, countless sharp black fragnts slicing through the air, making thunderous explosion sounds.
Eventually, with a piercing shriek like tearing silk, the long knives suddenly exploded; Liang Zhengyong, his body filled with golden flas, bled from his mouth and nose, lifted into mid-air by the Tiger Head Great Spear.
Disaster Water instantly curled back onto the tip of the spear, the white-gold spear wrapped in writhing black water, emanating an extrely pure and intense sensation.
Swallow Through the Curtain!
The great spear was raised high, countless black lights spiraling as if touching the sky.
Liang Zhengyong, suspended in midair, threw his head back, his flesh, bones, and tissues illuminated into a translucent color by the surrounding golden flas, his features seemingly crafted from gold and jade at a glance.
“Roar, roar, roar~”
The earth cracked, golden flas overflowed from the sand, stones, and woods, reaching towards the sky, and Li Yan, his eyes wide with rage, even recalled the terrifying experience he had shortly before when he was affected by the Tri-Aspect Bomb!
Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back!
Li Yan’s gaze was resolute. He had about a hundred tons left of his Disaster Water reserves, all now transford into Disaster Water form. With black light swirling around him, the writhing black water gathered and dispersed, following the movent of the spear, turning into countless transparent, fist-sized black droplets plunging from the sky, eting the golden fla magma below!
Boom!!!
A massive updraft caused by the severe temperature difference rushed into the sky, dispersing the black clouds of smoke.
As far as the eye could see, amidst the wreckage, Li Yan stood with his spear planted on the ground, his body half-wreathed in Disaster Water, looking disheveled but not fatally wounded.
On the ground, half-kneeling, was a golden skeleton, its translucent bones propping its arms against the earth, radiating an intense heat that made it hard to approach.
“Both of us are fourth-order soldiers, but you’re much stronger than that task force.”
Li Yan pulled his left hand off the spear shaft, tearing off a patch of charred skin.
The Tiger Head Great Spear, being of a special material, could not be dissolved by Liang Zhengyong’s golden flas. Still, it could conduct an astounding amount of heat. Li Yan estimated that there were thousands of degrees of heat on the Gold-engraved Tiger Head Spear at that mont. He could have used the Nine Phoenix Power to forcefully reduce the heat, but that would undoubtedly damage the structure of the spear. After all, that was the thod Li Yan had used to shatter the Yan Fu fruit core.
Thus, Li Yan simply used the Nine Phoenix Power to envelop his hands and resist the heat forcibly. His hands were now charred black, and any movent brought piercing pain.
The chest of this golden skeleton before him was still heaving; Liang was actually still alive.
Li Yan ignored the dying Liang Zhengyong and looked for evidence amid the debris.
Genetic Potions could not be placed in the extradinsional space of a Psychic Mover, similar to the principle of not placing living beings inside.
At this point, Li Yan’s desire for the so-called highest fifth order wasn’t that strong after all, as there were many complications involved, and he only had a vague understanding of the secrets.
Compared to Li Yan, the Black Star combat vehicle placed a higher importance on attaining the highest fifth order.
Liang Zhengyong always carried his briefcase with him. The years of research findings of the Great Demon Lake, as disclosed by Ramu Jue before his death, were likely in that briefcase. However, when the plane crashed, Li Yan did not see Liang’s case. If it hadn’t been destroyed, it was probably still at the crash site.
Tracking and searching were the strengths of the Sudu bird. Li Yan quickly noticed sothing.
The briefcase was pinned under a piece of wreckage, presumably handled by Liang Zhengyong himself. The case, rare as it was, showed no signs of damage. Li Yan lifted the debris to retrieve the briefcase, smashed the device lock on it, opened the case, and inside there was a bottle of golden glass vial secured in place.
“Even this could be found, I guess I’m quite lucky.”
Li Yan examined the vial he held in his hand.
Level 5 Genetically Modified Agents: Spirit-responsive Tanggula (Trial)
Category: Consumable
Quality: Legendary
After use, there is a 5% chance of becoming a fifth-order ability user: Spirit-responsive Tanggula; a 10% chance of becoming a fourth-order ability user: Spring Yak; a 10% chance of becoming a fourth-order ability user: Sumr Yak; a 10% chance of becoming a fourth-order ability user: Autumn Yak; a 10% chance of becoming fourth-order ability: Winter Yak. A 50% chance of becoming a random fourth-order ability user, a 5% chance of chaotic mutation. If the user already has certain genetic abilities, the probabilities may change.
Note: Obviously, the research value is far greater than the direct use.
Li Yan pocketed the Spirit-responsive Tanggula agent and approached Liang Zhengyong.
“I reckon your Black Star combat vehicle’s people will soon be here; I don’t have much ti.”
Clearly, Li Yan wasn’t planning to let Liang Zhengyong live any longer.
He didn’t expect, nor did he care, what Liang Zhengyong had to say. An adult’s view of the world can’t be changed by a few words, especially for determined and capable individuals like Liang Zhengyong and Li Yan,
Li Yan simply out of habit gave Liang Zhengyong a chance for a peaceful end, whether he wished for it or not.
“Fighting fire with fire, so that’s your answer,” Liang Zhengyong let out a hoarse laugh. His fingers dug into the scorched earth as his eye sockets fixed on Li Yan, “You say I’m presumptuous, but on what grounds do you judge , Li Yan, the wanderer?”
“Are you done talking?”
Li Yan was unmoved, the spear poised at Liang Zhengyong’s throat.
“There’s more…”
Rustle~
The sound of the wind grew louder, Liang Zhengyong’s lips moved, but his words were indistinct.
Silence, a long silence.
Finally, Li Yan moved the spear tip and smashed Liang Zhengyong’s head with a thud.
He licked his lips, then left without a word.
