Chapter 498: Defores
Ting, ting, ting, ting!
The silver light shot through more than ten levels of tal fences and hit everywhere at the stairwell that was dozens of ters tall.
The anti-monster grenades hanging above the tal fences were adjusted until to be very sensitive. When the silver shooting stars crashed into them, they exploded imdiately.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The stairwell imdiately turned into a burning chimney.
Many of the ambushers hiding on the stairs or in the corridor had not been prepared for the impact wave and the shrapnel raining down on them. They were badly battered and fled with their hands covering their heads.
ng Chao ran up the stairs under the cover of fire, and in just two steps reached the second floor.
There were a few robbers lying in ambush on the second floor.
They were all fearso people who had taken Deification Capsules, so they had temporarily gained supernatural abilities and were burning their lives to gain great power.
But even they bled from their orifices because of the impact from the anti-monster grenades’ explosions and were dizzy.
Before they knew what was going on, ng Chao ramd into their chests like a stone thrown by a tornado.
He first broke their tendons and bones, making them cough up blood. Then, he dragged them up by the necks and threw them down the stairs.
Once he threw so six robbers, the robbers on higher floors finally realized what was happening and lifted their guns to fire blindly downward.
The bullets created sparks all over the stairs and walls as they ricocheted in the narrow space.
Since the flas and smoke blocked everyone’s sight, no bullets managed to hit ng Chao.
The ricochets reduced the speed of the bullets, so even if they landed on him, they only scratched an itch for him.
And the robbers who were firing madly had exposed their whereabouts.
ng Chao occasionally acted like a human-shaped lizard and stuck himself to the ceiling with his limbs pointed skyward while he moved silently at high speed. At other tis, he acted like a huge bat and hung upside down above the robbers to break their necks.
Most of the robbers did not even have the ti to scream in pain before they were tossed to the bottom of the stairwell like torn-up gunny sacks.
In just a short half a minute, ng Chao reached the fifth floor.
When he broke the nineteenth robber’s ribs with a punch and grabbed the person to toss him down the stairwell, he suddenly saw a white arc in the darkness.
ng Chao was montarily stunned.
The person had controlled their breathing, heartbeat, presence, and even vitality magnetic field to the point that they could not be detected and calmly laid in wait in a corner, thus escaping ng Chao’s sight.
This could not be a normal robber. They were an elite.
ng Chao narrowed his eyes and charged at the snow-white arc.
When the arc grazed his neck, his feet landed heavily on the stairs. He moved half a ter to the right, reducing the relative velocity between him and the arc to zero.
And by using the force he created when he moved sideways, he swung his right arm again like a whip. Five harvesting blades locked down on the person’s vitals like five shooting stars.
Ting, ting, ting, ting!
The person acted just like he did. They did not dodge but moved forward.
However, they did not use superfast, speedy movents within a super small area to negate ng Chao’s attack. Instead, they used a sturdy shell to block the attack from the five blades.
The five silver shooting stars tore off the person’s cloak, revealing a glossy armor made of scales.
They should be human. Their eyes also shone with the complicated light unique to humans.
But the person’s vitals were covered by a thick layer of scales that were as sturdy as tal. The person also had a powerful tail that was as thick as a crocodile’s. At first glance, they looked like a huge reptilian which walked on two feet.
‘A villager of Leprosy Village! One of the descendants of the zombie virus infectees!’ ng Chao imdiately realized who they were.
No. That was not all.
The person’s deformation was not that simple. They were not just the child of a mother infected by the zombie virus, which unlocked the gene fragnts that had been slumbering for billions of years in the womb, which made them mutate to the point that they no longer looked human.
Based on the dark flas surrounding them, the person had also taken the Deification Capsule and it had further changed the structure and function of the mitochondria in their cells, causing the great power that had always been incredibly unstable to co out in the most violent way possible.
Whoosh!
All this might seem to have taken a lot of ti to figure out, but ng Chao finished processing things in an instant, and during that instant, the ambusher who looked like a standing crocodile had already arrived in front of him and swung their tail.
The end of the tail had dozens of sharp bulges. So of them even had sawteeth or spikes that were shaped like hooks. If that thing hit ng Chaos’ face or neck, his skin, bones, and half a kilogram of flesh would be torn off.
ng Chao could only retreat, but he hit a greasy mound of flesh behind him.
When he turned around to look, he saw yet another person deford by the zombie virus.
This one was more than three ters tall, and the width of their shoulders was more than two ters. They weighed at least 350kg, and every ti they took a step, the staircase trembled, causing ng Chao’s heart to jump to his throat. He was worried that in the next second, the stairs would collapse.
The person’s facial features were completely buried under layers of fat. Only creases were left, and they ford a hideous smile.
While the person was fat, they were not slow. Right after ng Chao crashed into them, they caught him.
ng Chao had reached Heaven Realm, so he was far stronger than the defore who took the Deification Capsule, but they were like an indomitable pile of mud. No matter how much ng Chao hit them, the force was distributed to all parts of the body through the semi-liquid fat. ng Chao could not even touch the bones, let alone destroy the joints.
Before ng Chao could figure out a way to break free, with a whoosh, the fat excreted from the greasy defore pores started burning.
This was not self-immolation. It was similar to a unique spirit energy magnetic field.
It was like the racial skill of fire-type monsters. Without being injured, they could burn their enemies to a horrible state.
The crocodile-human, who had a tail resembling a morning star, swung it toward ng Chao again.
When the “morning star” was only half an inch away from ng Chao’s nose tip and his Black Soul’s defenses were reduced because of the large amount of burning fat from the mountain of flesh, cracking, explosive sounds ca from ng Chao’s body. At that critical mont, his joints dislocated at the sa ti, and his bones shrank inwards, causing him to shrink by half. Finally, he was able to escape the arms of the burning mountain of flesh.
Bang!
The crocodile-human could not stop in ti. The tail slamd into the chest of the burning flesh mountain, and even if that person had abnormally great defenses, they were forced to retreat a few steps from the attack.
ng Chao seized the chance to roll forward. He pushed his hands against the floor and delivered a heavy kick with both of his legs at the crocodile-human’s fibulas.
After two loud cracks, the crocodile-human scread and fell to the floor.
ng Chao sensed hot waves behind him getting close again. He did not even turn his head around and ramd his right fist into the floor. With a loud crack, the reinforced concrete supporting the stairs cracked.
Earlier, when the anti-monster grenades hanging above the tal fences exploded, they had already affected the overall strength of the staircase.
Now, when ng Chao slamd the floor like a pile driver with a spirit energy-fuelled Demon Subduing Pole, more than one hundred cracks instantly appeared on it.
The raging and burning flesh mountain stepped on the heavily damaged staircase, and because they weighed more than half of a ton, the staircase was finally unable to support all of them. It collapsed, and a terrifying, huge hole appeared between the fifth and sixth floor.
The burning flesh mountain fell to a landing between the fourth and fifth floor and got so angry that they shouted, but they could not climb up for a period of ti.
Before ng Chao could catch his breath, a fierce, long howl charged at him from above. The powerful gust pierced his Black Hole and left two bleeding wounds on his chest.
It was Ghost Spirit Song Yu.
At that mont, his spirit energy had filled his blood vessels, and he activated the rampaging energy deep in his cells. He tore off all of the masks he wore in the past and beca sothing entirely different.
His eyes bulged out like eyebulbs, and his frontal bone protruded out. When he snapped his jaw close, it looked like the sharp beak of a huge predator. His limbs beca long and thin, and his fingers and toes evolved as well... No, it would be more accurate to say that they had degenerated to the point that they were now shining claws and hooks.
His wings seed to be wider and thicker than earlier.
The bloodstained edges also beca sharper.
Even though there was limited space in the stairwell and it was not suited for falcon-type monsters to glide and dive, his wings could cover the sky and shake off thousands of sharp feathers at once. Now, they were like a at grinder that sealed off the space in which ng Chao could move.
Under Song Yu’s cover, the crocodile-human got to their feet again.
When ng Chao had kicked their calves, the kicks had only managed to crack the bones. They were not completely broken.
Besides, that person seed to be very used to crawling on their hands, knees, and tail. Their movents were not affected by his attack.
The burning flesh mountain might not be able to climb up because they were between the fourth and fifth floors, but they continued rubbing their palms together to form large, blinding fireballs.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Song Yu fired hundreds of sharp feathers that were like scalpels at ng Chao.
With unbelievable agility, the crocodile-human used their limbs to charge at ng Chao.
The burning flesh mountain also tossed fireballs at the spot where ng Chao was.
When ng Chao was forced into a corner of the staircase and seed to be unable to avoid their attacks, he suddenly did sothing none of them expected.
He poured his spirit energy into his legs, and like an ordnance penetrator, he blasted the stairs under his feet until they broke. Just like how he had sent the burning flesh mountain falling, he fell on his own between the fourth and fifth floors from the space between the fifth and sixth floors.
The feathers, tail, and fireball instantly missed their target. They only created dazzling fireworks above ng Chao’s head.
As for ng Chao, with a jump, he arrived in front of the burning flesh mountain.
This person had just thrown a fireball, and their spirit energy magnetic field was cooling down.
Due to their overlapping fat, their vision was obscured, and they did not notice that ng Chao had moved like a phantom and arrived in front of their body.
And in the earlier fight between them, ng Chao had already gained a deep understanding of the burning flesh mountain’s defenses.
He placed his hands on the person’s stomach and released the full power of Ripple Force. His muscles trembled at a super high frequency, and the waves that ca out were each stronger than the last. They ramd into the burning flesh mountain’s fat.
He did it not to destroy the burning flesh mountain’s organs, but to destroy their balance.
Then, with a gentle push, he sent the burning flesh mountain off the stairs, making them plunge to the bottom of the stairwell, which was dozens of ters below them.
