Chapter 93: 085 Military 3 (Thanks to the Immortal Xie, Qi Tian Alliance Hierarch)
Night.
The dark green moss covered the tree roots, stones, and soil.
Broken dry branches and leaves were mixed together, and amidst them, one could see tiny unidentifiable insects quietly crawling by.
In the woods, Li Chengyi quietly carried the Golden Sword, stepping closer to the other person.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, he took a step and shot forward like an arrow, leaving a trail of disturbed earth and crushed leaves on the ground.
There was no technique, just brute force; the Golden Sword swept out in a fan shape, chopping towards Zhou Yan’s torso.
“Idiot!”
Zhou Yan stepped back precisely, narrowly avoiding the slash by a hair’s breadth.
“If brute force were effective, then our years of hard-learned weapon mastery would have been a complete waste!”
He continuously retreated and dodged, each evasion narrowly missing Li Chengyi’s wild swings.
The imdiate skewing that caught him off guard was inexplicable; surely his Cloud-Cutting Slash, assisted by chip-computed trajectory and his own perceptive adjustnts, could not possibly be flawed.
Yet unexpectedly, he ended up skewing towards the ground, completely missing the mark.
Having executed missions for many years, this was Zhou Yan’s first encounter with such a phenonon.
With just a brief recollection, he understood that he was likely affected by so instrunt of the opponent’s.
Therefore, he adopted a strategy of dodging first and then observing.
In the dark night, moonlight scattered and penetrated the mist, forming beams of light.
The two exchanged blows swiftly within these columns of light.
The Golden Sword kept cutting arcs and lines of light, but it just couldn’t touch Zhou Yan.
And the weird situation from before did not occur again.
“So it relies on contact, huh? As long as you can’t touch , you can’t trigger that influence from before!” Zhou Yan finally understood.
Li Chengyi’s heart grew cold. This was the first ti he encountered such an opponent, or rather, soone who could actually see through his Flower Language Ability.
The Flower Language Ability was extrely powerful and unreasonable. But once it was seen through, dealing with it targetedly was indeed quite troubleso for him at this stage.
Hiss!
In the instant his mind wandered.
A pang of pain spread from his waist.
Li Chengyi abruptly stopped in place as he could feel a fresh slice on his right side of the waist, just where his Floral Dress had been previously damaged.
The adversary specifically targeted the old tear, precisely slicing through the bulletproof vest underneath and causing actual flesh wounds.
“What’s the matter, out of options?” Zhou Yan laughed. “Where’s that bizarre ability of yours? Why aren’t you using it now?”
He casually swung his knife, circling Li Chengyi step by step.
He didn’t walk far when he suddenly rushed forward, dodging the chop from Li Chengyi’s Golden Sword and swiftly passing by his left side.
Hiss!
Another cut appeared on the outer side of Li Chengyi’s left arm.
“What’s wrong? What about that ability of yours from before? Use it, co on!” Zhou Yan laughed.
As soon as his words ended, he darted around Li Chengyi at high speed.
Flashes of the knife shimred, now to the left, now to the right.
Hiss!
Hiss!
Hiss!!!
Gashes continuously appeared on various parts of Li Chengyi’s body in his Floral Dress.
He held the Golden Sword, breathing heavily, but he just couldn’t touch the opponent once.
The gap in weapon fighting skills and realm between the two was too vast.
If Li Chengyi could be considered a novice, then Zhou Yan was at least on the level of a top-tier professional. Even Li Chengyi’s teacher might not be a match for him.
As the wounds accumulated on Li Chengyi’s body, pieces of his Floral Dress started to fall off, evidently about to give out.
His face gloomy, even though his speed and strength were nearly matched with the opponent after being amplified by the Floral Dress, the outco of the actual fight showed a huge disparity.
At the sa speed, he couldn’t even touch the opponent once, only being struck from beginning to end.
‘The Floral Dress is about to break; I can’t drag this out, I must retreat first!’ He estimated the timing in his heart. Since he couldn’t handle the opponent, he had to withdraw temporarily and look to improve his martial weapon skills later to regain his footing.
In that instant, Li Chengyi made a dash to the right, fiercely heading toward the cottage.
He hadn’t forgotten his real purpose for coming: to find the notebook first.
This act of retreating caught Zhou Yan completely off guard.
“Thinking of running away!?” Zhou Yan growled and quickly pursued.
Having killed so many of their Utopia’s perfected beings, causing so much resource loss, did they think they could get away just like that?
How could he, Zhou Yan, face Mr. X without thoroughly dealing with the opponent?!
The two, one behind the other, swiftly headed towards the cottage.
Bang.
Li Chengyi was the first to crash through the wooden door and burst into the hall.
Zhou Yan followed closely behind, chopping the remaining door panels to pieces and aiming as he fired a bullet from a gun beneath his forearm.
The sharp explosive round hit Li Chengyi’s back hard.
Boom!!
A flash of white and red fire exploded, with a massive force sending Li Chengyi tumbling forward, crashing into the staircase corner of the second floor.
Pieces of his Floral Dress were shattered over a large area on his back, but the bulletproof vest underneath blocked the residual damage.
Without stopping, Li Chengyi rolled from the foot of the stairs onto the second floor.
“Run, keep running!!” Zhou Yan fired his gun in rapid succession.
One explosive round after another flew out, aiming upward from the ground floor towards the second floor, blasting and shredding the floorboards with bursts of flas.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!!
“You’re trash! Weren’t you acting all high and mighty before? Chop at , huh!? Co on and chop at !?” Zhou Yan roared with laughter.
“I’ll just stand right here, co and chop….”
“You’re asking for it!!!” Suddenly, Li Chengyi burst out in fury from the second floor.
Boom!!!!
In a split second, the second-floor floorboards shattered with a loud crash.
A golden giant hand broke through the wooden floor tiles and pressed down ferociously.
The golden hand had a diater of over four ters, its body resembling tal craftsmanship, with spikes covering the palm.
The mont it pressed down from above, it completely covered all of Zhou Yan’s space to dodge.
Caught off guard, he never expected such a massive golden hand to suddenly erge.
By the ti he reacted, there was no room left to dodge in the narrow villa’s hall.
The golden hand filled his vision in the blink of an eye.
Boom!!!!
His entire chanized body was struck by the hand, sinking into the ground.
The smooth floor tiles shattered and exploded, but this blow surprisingly didn’t completely smash Zhou Yan to pieces.
He was only smashed so hard that his entire armor cracked and twisted, with sparks flickering at so joint areas.
But he could still move!
Before he could get up,
The hand grabbed him and started hamring him against the ground.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!!!!
Four consecutive strikes.
Zhou Yan’s two arms were smashed off and flew away, one leg completely bent backward, and the torso collapsed inward, along with the embedded battery crystal shattering and dimming.
“You… what the hell are you!!?” he scread in shock and anger.
But his head was imdiately grasped by the hand and fiercely smashed into the ground.
Thump!!
His entire head was brutally crushed off his body.
Yet even so, Zhou Yan had not lost consciousness.
His eyes flickered with a red light as he gazed up along the arm of the golden hand.
The arm extended upwards, becoming thinner, and then connected to a roughly 1.8-ter tall golden armored figure.
The armored figure was covered in shiny golden plates, with a head shaped like the character for ‘mountain’, and exquisite flower patterns like wings at the ears.
On its left forearm was a small round shield, also golden.
The right hand was equipped with the sa huge golden hand that had just erupted with imnse force.
The entire surface of the armor was covered with simplified twisted patterns of sunflowers.
At its chest center, there was a crystal disc of gold that had an epheral flow of golden mist inside.
“What exactly are… you!?” Zhou Yan’s red light in his eyes flickered rapidly.
Pff.
His head was crushed into pieces of components by the golden giant hand.
The sound stopped abruptly.
At the sa ti,
Thousands of kiloters away from the small villa, within an underground cavern,
In a secret room hidden deep underground, there stood a huge dark green crystal column.
Inside the crystal column, a Reinforced Human chanical body soaked in green solution suddenly lit up with red eyes.
Boom!
The Reinforced Human smashed the crystal glass in front of him with a punch and stepped out from within.
“Damn it!!” It spoke with Zhou Yan’s voice. At the sa ti, silver particles began to slowly emanate from his body, clustering on his skin and simulating the real flesh and blood of a human being.
“That guy… could it be that he switched bodies at the last mont!? Is that even possible now?”
He couldn’t understand.
He had just had the absolute upper hand one second ago, and the next second, he had been suddenly reversed and killed.
This was a complete joke!!
Rembering the golden hand he had just encountered, Zhou Yan’s face showed anger.
That thing, from the look of it, didn’t even comply with physics, did it!? How did such a heavy and large hand maintain balance without flipping itself over??
He couldn’t understand!

The flas gradually engulfed the entire villa, lighting up a small area of the night sky.
Li Chengyi slowly walked down the stairs, holding a gray-white notebook in his hand.
He had just flipped it out from below the floor.
Unfortunately, it was blank and contained nothing.
‘The notebook must have been taken by those people just now!’ he concluded in his mind.
At this mont, he was clad in a brand new golden Armor, the Titan Sunflower Dress he had just acquired.
This Floral Dress was very moderate in other aspects, with protection slightly weaker than the Wisteria Flowers but stronger than the Gladiolus. The patterns were the sa old, with delicate patterns of sunflowers covering his entire body.
There was only one point that distinguished it from the other two Floral Dresses.
That was—the right hand.
The huge right hand!
This Sunflower Dress had a right hand with adjustable length, a diater that could reach over four ters, nearly five ters, golden giant hand.
The palm of the giant hand was covered with slightly black sharp spikes, resembling the seeds of a sunflower.
The arm was covered with patterns throughout, akin to tal parts assembly, with one combination seam after another mixed between the patterns.
Compared to the balance of the Wisteria Flowers, the sharpness and sturdiness of the Gladiolus, the only distinct feature of this Sunflower Dress was this golden right hand, which was shocking in both weight and volu.
From the hit just now, Li Chengyi felt that this right hand alone weighed at least about five tons.
And it was extrely hard; when controlled, he hardly felt it was heavy, just a bit heavier than a normal arm.
