As the black shield shattered, Lin Xinghai gripped Mjolnir and thrust it toward his opponent’s head.
But at the same moment, a dense red glow materialized around the middle-aged white man’s head, wrapping it entirely. It was a second layer of defense formed by immense Blood Qi Power.
Lin Xinghai’s Thunderstorm attack was already mostly depleted after shattering the opponent’s black shield.
Relying solely on Mjolnir’s sharpness, it was impossible for his Blood Qi Realm Level Power to pierce a defense formed from concentrated Blood Qi Power.
However, Lin Xinghai was not surprised by this outcome. If a Body Shaping Realm Late Stage expert could be killed so easily with a single spear thrust, they never would have survived and grown this strong in an apocalyptic world.
When his spear thrust failed to connect, he immediately retracted Mjolnir. Seeing this, the grave expression on the middle-aged white man’s face vanished.
At that moment, he was already considering how to counterattack and kill Lin Xinghai.
But the thought had barely formed in his mind when he saw a foot wreathed in lightning kicking straight at his face.
It was so fast that he had no way to dodge.
’So fast!’ The thought flashed through the middle-aged white man’s mind.
What he was marveling at was not Lin Xinghai’s movement Speed, but his attack Speed.
Although it takes time to describe, Lin Xinghai had executed his Thunderstorm and this kick in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xinghai had delivered a spear thrust and a kick, and the middle-aged white man had only just managed to raise his arm to protect his head.
If not for the fact that an Energy Defense could be formed with a single thought, he likely would have already died, given his reaction speed in purely physical combat.
BAM!
His raised arm collided with Lin Xinghai’s kick.
The middle-aged white man instantly sensed that the attack Lin Xinghai had just unleashed was only at the level of the Body Shaping Realm Early Stage. He blocked it with considerable ease.
After sensing this, the middle-aged white man smirked contemptuously.
’In his eyes, though his opponent was fast, he had already run out of tricks.’
But for some unknown reason, his heart suddenly leaped into his throat.
Then he discovered that a spear tip, crackling with terrifying lightning, was already pressed against the skin of his chest.
’How can he be this fast?’ the middle-aged white man thought in horror.
He simply couldn’t keep up with Lin Xinghai’s attack Speed. Moreover, he distinctly remembered that the last time his opponent used this terrifying attack, he needed a moment for Charging Power.
’Why can he unleash it instantly now?’
’This defies the principles of Martial Arts!’
But everything was happening too fast. All he could do was desperately channel his Blood Qi Power to resist Lin Xinghai’s Thunderstorm attack.
Seeing his opponent still putting up a futile struggle, a smirk touched Lin Xinghai’s lips. ’Goodbye,’ he thought.
He gently flicked a button on the spear’s shaft.
Mjolnir, already crackling with countless thunderbolts, suddenly blazed with even greater light. Innumerable arcs of electricity erupted from its shaft and converged at the tip.
Lin Xinghai had just activated Mjolnir’s built-in Thunder Grid function.
When Mjolnir was modified, this function wasn’t removed. In fact, it was enhanced, boosting the Thunder Grid’s power to the level of the Body Shaping Realm Late Stage.
With the two effects stacked, the power of Lin Xinghai’s Thunderstorm attack instantly skyrocketed, its destructive potential nearing the Divine Demon Realm.
Even if it didn’t quite reach that level, it was at least equivalent to a full-power strike from a Half-Step Divine Demon Realm expert.
Of course, an ordinary person could never do this. But Lin Xinghai possessed the Thunder Control Physique, which allowed him to maintain near-perfect control even over the additional electricity, seamlessly merging the released Thunder Grid with his own lightning.
Faced with a strike that surpassed the Peak of Body Shaping Realm, the middle-aged white man might have been able to survive this fatal blow at the cost of severe injuries—if he had been in peak condition.
But as things stood...
PSSSH!
The countless bolts of lightning directly shredded the man’s surging Blood Qi Power. The razor-sharp spear tip slid smoothly into his chest, and the terrifying electrical energy incinerated his internal organs, turning them to charcoal.
GURGLE!
He tried to say something, his face a mask of indignation, but only black blood gurgled from his lips as his body slowly collapsed.
Lin Xinghai withdrew Mjolnir and turned to the remaining two. The expressions on the faces of the two white siblings went from dumbfounded shock to sheer terror.
"It’s your turn now."
...
After Yi Hongliang and the others finished their discussion, they gathered all the Blood Qi Realm Squad Leaders, forming a 15-man team.
Then, they advanced cautiously toward the central control room.
"Since Captain Lin dared to go alone, he must be confident. At the very least, he should be able to get out in one piece."
"So, let’s not be too hasty. It’s best to let them fight for a bit. We’ll strike when the battle intensifies and they don’t have the luxury of paying attention to us. That’s how we can catch them off guard and have the greatest impact," Yi Hongliang explained to the others as they moved forward.
The others listened and nodded in firm agreement.
These men were well aware of their role in this.
Those who had previously assisted Body Shaping Realm experts in combat understood this especially well. To be effective in a battle of this caliber, you had to be patient and wait for the perfect moment.
The team advanced in silence, listening intently to the sounds from afar, trying to decide on the right moment to intervene.
Soon, the group heard the sound of intense gunfire.
"It’s started. Let’s move up, but don’t get too close," Yi Hongliang said urgently, his eyes sharp.
Hearing this, the others tensed up, and their pace quickened considerably.
After the gunfire subsided, they heard a series of thunderous roars. In addition, a series of tremors ran through the Alloy floor beneath their feet.
"The fighting is so intense! It couldn’t have reached its climax already, could it?" one of them couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Impossible," someone immediately retorted. "When experts at that level clash, they always probe each other first. They’ll only go all-out after they’ve figured out their opponent’s techniques."
"That’s right! At the Body Shaping Realm, you can perform Divine Demon Transformation on two parts of your body. Add that to the massive surge in Blood Qi Power, and your survivability increases exponentially. There’s no way a fight like that ends in just a few moments," another who seemed to be in the know added.
Although everyone here was only at the Blood Qi Realm, they had undertaken high-risk military missions led by Body Shaping Realm experts. Because of this, they were quite knowledgeable about battles of that Level.
