217: Chapter 199 Six Styles 217: Chapter 199 Six Styles There was no ti to mourn for the Furious Monkey, as the Red Driver’s face was firmly gripped by five fingers.
In this instant, he instinctively reviewed his entire life up to this point in his mind.
“Damn, seeing one’s life flash before one’s eyes in a comic always ans certain death!
No, why am I still being sarcastic at a ti like this?
I must have been infected by that Ant…”
This thought flickered briefly through the Driver’s mind, but to his surprise, Cliff in front of him couldn’t close his palm to crush his skull like an egg, and instead remained frozen in place.
Crack crack—
The sound of bone-on-bone friction echoed throughout Cliff’s body.
An invisible force, or more precisely, Zhao Zijing’s telekinesis, clamped down hard on Cliff’s limbs and joints, rendering him immobile.
For Zhao Zijing, restraining a high-level close-combat Transcendent was an imnse burden.
Her face turned red, veins on her forehead bulged, and she squeezed out a low shout from between clenched teeth, “Attack!”
Gray Rain stomped on the ground, rushed behind Cliff, her arms transford into a giant axe, carrying the inertia of her 800-kilogram weight, and swung down at the back of his head.
Cliff descended into madness, but his combat instincts had not faded.
He felt the wind from behind, stopped struggling, and activated Six Styles Iron Block, ready to withstand the hit head-on.
Unexpectedly, Gray Rain changed tactics at the last second, dissolving the axe into liquid tal, just as it was about to hit Cliff’s head, enveloping it like a rcury sphere.
“Hehehe, you really thought I haven’t watched ‘One Piece’?” Gray Rain smirked evilly, a portion of the liquid rcury squird, trying to penetrate Cliff’s eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, to internally explode.
Another portion of the rcury crept along Cliff’s arms toward the front, morphing into the shape of ropes, hooking onto his fingertips, and with a fierce pull, it forcibly broke the grip Cliff had on the Red Driver.
Six Styles Iron Block was effective, indeed making him impervious to cuts and able to take hard blows, but its drawback was also clear—motionlessness while using it.
If the enemy could maintain pressure, it was easy to fall into the deadly cycle of “have to use Iron Block to survive—unable to move—continue to be hit.”
Taking advantage of Gray Rain and Zhao Zijing”s control over Cliff, Li Cheng pulled out the Avenger Cannon from the void, set it on the ground, and pulled the trigger.
Driven by motors, the dense chain of bullets showered Cliff like pouring water.
Armor-piercing incendiary rounds hit the iron-like flesh, pocking it with dense pits, resulting in a large number of ricochets.
Gray Rain, acting as a bulletproof liquid tal robot, was entirely indifferent to the ricochet’s collateral damage, and even humd to herself, “Bulletproof Boy Scouts, we love you~”
The Red Driver, sprawled on the ground, had no ti to criticize.
Scrambling backwards with both hands and feet, he quickly fled from the ricochet zone, also taking the Task Battery with him.
The machine gun’s rotating thunder roared through the tall grass, Cliff was forced into a constant retreat by the barrage, moving towards the leaking energy flow area of the pipe.
Seizing this opportunity, Zhao Zijing slightly relaxed the efficiency of her telekinetic output, urgently restoring her Qi Power.
She understood Ant’s intention—to toss Cliff into the radiation area and let the temporal turbulence’s aging effect kill him by old age.
With that in mind, Zhao Zijing waved her hand forward, controlling nine long tal spears to fuse together and hamred into Cliff’s chest with a heavy blow.
Boom!
The visual impact of this strike was dramatic; Cliff, whose body was armored with Iron Block, was directly knocked away, but Zhao Zijing’s expression suddenly changed.
She didn’t feel the solid feedback of a true hit—the opponent had deliberately let himself be struck away!
In mid-air, Cliff swiftly kicked backwards, unleashing crescent-shaped slashing waves with each kick.
This move, called Six Styles·Gale Kick, used kicks to create slashing waves.
The gate of the right-side pipeline, located in the midst of the temporal turbulence, was beyond reach no matter what.
But the edges of the pipeline were not completely enveloped by the temporal turbulence and could be physically touched.
Clang clang clang!
The edge of the pipe was hit in rapid succession by the Gale Foot Slash Waves, causing the already unstable right-side pipe, leaking energy, to shake even more violently.
After an extrely brief delay, the right-side pipe once again erupted with a golden energy flow, spreading the aging effect throughout the area.
The first to be impacted was Midnight Howl, lying on the ground.
His cervical vertebrae had been twisted earlier by Cliff, and relying on the werewolf’s self-healing ability, his wounds had just healed as he was getting up from the ground when he was hit by the golden turbulence.
His originally sleek black fur quickly turned grey, then faded to salt-and-pepper.
His wolf teeth fell out one after another, his muscular body rapidly shrank, and his legs couldn’t even support his own weight, causing him to fall again.
In the end, under the onslaught of the temporal turbulence, he turned into a skeleton.
Gray Rain, who witnessed this scene, had no desire to test whether she could withstand the ravages of ti as a liquid tal robot—using her elentary school knowledge, she also knew that tals would rust over ti.
Imdiately retracting the released rcury, the entire person transford into a circular tire and quickly rolled towards Li Cheng.
The violent ti turbulence swept in all directions.
Li Cheng, Zhao Zijing, and the others had no choice but to hurriedly take cover in the tall grass behind them,
The last scene they witnessed was Cliff standing at the edge of the grass, calmly standing amidst the chaos.
His appearance shifted from a youth to a middle-aged man, his stature also rose in tandem, and even a purple-black airflow gradually encircled his body.
That was also a special ability from “One Piece,” Armant Haki.
Its effect is to enhance one’s defensive power and attack power, a threshold for entering the realm of the strong.
This is not fair!
Li Cheng really wanted to cry out against the killing field; when they were hit by the ti turbulence, they rotted into ash, but when Cliff was hit, it even augnted his strength, what kind of balance is this.
If this were in an online ga, the designers would surely be dragged out for an hour of target practice.
“Heh.”
Cliff, now with a middle-aged appearance, had a sickly smile on his face.
He did not pursue them but retreated into the tall grass, disappearing from sight.
[We can’t find him, but he, driven mad, seems to have truly rged with this grassland, appearing and vanishing unpredictably, succeeding in every stealth attack.]
This recording from the rcury Alloy Guild mber, Bismuth Yellow, erged in Li Cheng’s mind.
The again-enhanced Cliff, wants to hunt them down one by one….
————
Run, as far as possible, away from here.
ndoza, a scion of a Philippine noble family, was sprinting madly through the tall grass.
He too saw the scene of Cliff wrapped in Armant Haki.
Just now, Ant, Midnight Howl, Red Driver, Zhao Zijing, plus Gray Rain, five Transcendents ganged up on Cliff, only to be counter-killed by him.
They couldn’t defeat him before, and now there’s even less chance of victory.
Better to flee for his life.
Thinking this, ndoza took out the radar navigator from his chest, pressed the button to form a blue arrow, and sprinted towards the opposite direction of the arrow, which is the location of the highway.
If those Transcendents had so trump cards and could counter-kill Cliff, that would be great; after completing the mission, he could also benefit and return to the real world.
If they couldn’t counter-kill Cliff…
there was still the last glimr of hope for “escaping alone to the highway and breaking free from the bind of ti turbulence.”
“I can’t die; I have a family business to inherit, I must rise above others.”
ndoza repeated this phrase in his mind, propelling his weary body to keep running, “I cannot die, I must rise above others…”
Rustle—
A faint noise ca from the tall grass behind him, as if sothing was in pursuit.
ndoza didn’t dare look back at all, and biting his lip, he took out the superpower injection given by the Transcendents, injecting it into the vein in his neck.
A cool feeling pervaded his whole body, and the next second, ndoza was startled to find his heavy steps suddenly beco lighter.
He ran faster and faster, more and more effortlessly, like a train plowing through lush tall grass.
The Genetic Mutation Injection produced by Gen-Sys Biotech temporarily granted a random superpower for five minutes.
It seems that he is incredibly lucky, having drawn a speedster ability like Marvel’s Flash or the locomotive from “Black Robe Patrol Team.”
As if an endless energy surged through his body, ndoza felt euphoric, relishing the thrill of rushing at breakneck speed.
It’s close; the highway is close.
One hundred ters, fifty ters, thirty ters, through the gaps in the grass, he could even see the asphalt road surface.
The will to live overwheld everything, and he didn’t notice a Gale Foot Slash Wave flying in from the side, cutting across his path.
Crack.
ndoza was cut in half at the waist; his lower body fell to the ground while his upper body toppled forward, just ten ters from the highway.
He saw it, the familiar figure of Ant on the asphalt road, holding a radar map, mounting a motorcycle, driving from north to south.
mories rose in his mind; ndoza recalled when everyone first disembarked from the train, Ant had deliberately driven north along the road for two kiloters to triangulate the mission location, then returned to the original spot.
ndoza wanted to scream for Ant to save him or to warn others not to enter the grass, but being cut at the waist left him with no strength; he reached out towards the asphalt road with his palm, his eyes filled with regret and despair.
