I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes - Chapter 169
Chapter 169: [150] No matter who you are, I will crush you! (Four more for monthly pass)_1
The brutal, frenzied waves of air madly surged, and the massive silhouette charged forward like a colossal mountain, the walls and wooden doors on either side instantly shattering into pieces, whisked away with the blast.
Pei Jinye, upon landing, immediately shut off the recorder and grabbed the wires attached to his Mech Body before ripping them out.
There were no surveillance cameras nearby.
And his teammates were not around…
He certainly wasn’t going to wait around foolishly for death.
Having dealt with the “unfavorable factors” on him, suddenly stars seemed to swirl in his eyes.
At the same moment, (Fake) God·DayLight and Spirit·Fog Shadow Body were both activated.
He extended his hand and drew down in front of him.
Suddenly a golden light and Misty Shadow Wind Blades burst forth from his hand, merged together, and savagely slashed down.
The cruel, sharp golden and faint lights instantly filled the entire narrow passageway. The two Transcendent abilities combined, emitting roars as if they could tear apart mountains and split seas.
Under the captivating brilliance of light,
Pei Jinye finally got a clear view of the “monster” rushing towards him—it was a mechanical octopus over two meters tall, with eight mechanical tentacles linked to a flesh sack, and on top of the sack, there were four arms sturdier and thicker than those of a normal human.
It was this monster that had just killed Zhou Ye.
“A bio-engineered monster from an experiment?”
Pei Jinye speculated in his mind.
In an instant,
The blade’s light fell upon the mechanical octopus, and, to his surprise, it was as if someone was manipulating the octopus from behind; a light shield suddenly appeared.
Although the mechanical octopus resisted Pei Jinye’s Light Slash, it was still sent flying on the spot.
At the same time,
Pei Jinye triggered the Dark Shadow Assault, raising his Titanium Knife and slashing down with it, droplets of blood from the previous Mutanted Octopus still clinging to the blade.
In the flash of lightning,
The half-airborne mechanical octopus that hadn’t yet landed waved its eight tentacles, attempting to entangle the rushing silhouette.
However, the surging faint light that came rolling in severed all the tentacles that were about to entwine Pei Jinye, sending a flurry of sparks flying.
What Pei Jinye didn’t expect was,
The mechanical octopus suddenly freed two tentacles to grab onto a nearby wall, using the leverage to not dodge Pei Jinye but instead charge towards him.
Pei Jinye’s knife came down on the mechanical octopus’s head, stuck within it.
At the same time, the octopus’s four sturdy arms slammed down hard.
“Bang!”
Pei Jinye took a punch on his body, his Mech Body caved in, and he counteracted with his elbow to block the other limb.
In that instant,
A man and a beast entwined in mid-air like a meteor plummeting down to earth.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”
The ground concaved where the two fell, a web of fine cracks appeared, and the stone walls on both sides shattered into countless pieces under the immense force.
The mechanical octopus just began raising its fractured head, scanning for the whereabouts of the human being.
But suddenly, a Silver-White Small Sword plunged down from above, piercing through its head, and at the same time, Pei Jinye, with both hands from behind, seized its body and ripped it apart.
“Rip!”
The gigantic body, over two meters tall, was abruptly reduced to a backpack-sized mechanical box, flickering with red light.
The crawling tentacles tried to grab the mechanical box, but Pei Jinye stepped forward and crushed the mechanical tentacles under his foot.
Picking up the mechanical box.
He looked up.
Pei Jinye then activated the ability of Heavenly Calculation, gazing around.
He had reason to suspect that this was all being manipulated behind the scenes.
It was very possible that whoever was responsible was nearby.
Indeed!
Following the box, he traced back to the source of the information—right outside the jurisdiction of the telecommunications team!
He immediately bypassed the main force.
And did not contact headquarters.
Pei Jinye left the alley alone.
If not for the high intelligence displayed by the mechanical octopus and this small box, he might not have suspected that someone was controlling it all from behind.
He had demonstrated at least two Transcendent abilities just now.
He was not certain… whether the mechanical octopus had recorded everything and transmitted it to the other party.
If it had been sent…
Pei Jinye’s expression turned grim.
“Still not cautious enough!”
The only silver lining was that his Mech Body’s helmet had somewhat obscured his face, so he wasn’t immediately exposed.
After Pei Jinye left,
Qiu Hezi arrived with his team at the scene of the fight he had just left, taking in the wreckage; everyone’s faces showed subtle changes.
“Team leader, we’ve found Zhou Ye’s body!”
Qiu Hezi hurried forward, scanning around, “Continue the search, he has another teammate! We must find where he’s gone!”
Five kilometers away,
Within the slums,
All was silent.
Pei Jinye, crouching low, followed the trail of the source of information.
The place had an eerie quiet, deathly still.
If it weren’t for Pei Jinye’s Devour ability of Heavenly Calculation, he might have failed to notice…the myriad of hidden micro-cameras all around.
Activating Dark Shadow Flicker… Pei Jinye moved stealthily through shadow after shadow, completely unnoticed; even the guard dogs were deep in slumber, failing to detect any scent.
It didn’t take long.
Pei Jinye stopped.
He was astounded to discover that this seemingly abandoned slum was actually not what it seemed.
Who would have thought that beneath it lay a secret laboratory!
“Record data… Mutation II has lost contact, see what’s going on?”
Inside the laboratory, a group of scientists in white coats were fixated on the data displayed on the screens.
Pei Jinye wasn’t concerned about whatever havoc these people were plotting against humanity; he was only worried about whether his own data had been leaked.
He also scouted for any lurking powerful individuals nearby.
However… it seemed there were none.
“Professor Cang, Mutation II has been confirmed as damaged. We have received encrypted information it sent over, with a top-secret encryption level. It requires your personal decryption.”
“Oh, really? Seems like it found something good.”
A bald scientist in a white lab coat walked up with some surprise and bent down to enter the password.
Suddenly, a muffled grunt came from behind him.
The scientist in the white lab coat turned around puzzled, only to have his face suddenly turn to one of terror.
Because the research members who had just been tapping on keyboards and focusing on experimental data were now all lying in pools of blood.
“This…”
The scientist’s brain seemed to crash, unable to comprehend what had happened.
The next second.
A hand was placed on his face.
The blade swept across.
Without any mercy!
After taking care of the opposition,
Pei Jinye looked at the electronic screen in front of him, immediately locked onto the Mutation II data, and initiated self-destruct.
In the meantime, he utilized the power of Heavenly Calculation to hack into the database here, and a vast number of encrypted messages emerged before him.
“They’ve already started the biochemical experiments?”
“Ridiculous, Black Shark claimed this experiment had only succeeded once, clearly the intelligence was too weak.”
Pei Jinye was somewhat astonished by the terrifying lethality of this laboratory.
He dared to say… if they were allowed to continue the experiments, in time, the mutanted octopuses from tonight could appear in Da Peng City in ten-fold, even hundred-fold numbers.
“What exactly do these guys want to do?”
Pei Jinye didn’t care whether they had aspirations to dominate the world.
He just didn’t want himself or those around him to be affected in any way.
You could say he was selfish, you could say he lacked a grand vision, you could even say he was cold-blooded and inhumane.
But Pei Jinye’s thought process was just that simple.
Don’t stir up trouble in my waters, but if you involve me, it’ll be a fight to the death!
Pei Jinye tapped a few keys on the keyboard in front of the screen.
He quickly locked onto the hidden mastermind.
While unlocking.
Suddenly, a sigh sounded in Pei Jinye’s ear, a mere whisper, yet at that moment, it seemed to explode like thunder.
Pei Jinye’s figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
At the same time.
A hole burst open in the ground before him, and from within sprang a tail with blood-coloured scales, its sharp barb glinting with a cold light as if the slightest touch would lead to a bloody mess… and indeed, it would.
Pei Jinye noticed the cracks that appeared on the mech body by his side.
The most exquisite Federation armor seemed to be as fragile as paper in front of his adversary.
Pei Jinye didn’t even have time to pause.
The tail lashed out, flipping up floor tiles mercilessly, piercing through the corpses on the ground and rushing toward Pei Jinye, fast as lightning.
Pei Jinye’s titanium knife moved swiftly in his hands.
In the blink of an eye.
A series of sparks flew.
Pei Jinye’s figure was nowhere to be seen, just countless sparks spraying out as the blood-colored metallic barb moved.
“Crack!”
The titanium knife, crafted by the Federation, actually broke on the spot.
Pei Jinye cursed under his breath.
He dodged swiftly.
The place where he had just been standing was now punctured by a hole.
Just as he steadied himself, a hand suddenly reached out from behind. Pei Jinye’s expression, still visible through his helmet, didn’t change as he cut down with his Knife in Sleeve.
“Clang!”
Pei Jinye was thrown backward.
At the same time.
In front of the door, a figure as domineering as if it carried the fire of hell itself was already charging furiously, with a roaring wind, its presence causing airwaves to roll out and an extremely ferocious aura.
Just as it was about to touch Pei Jinye.
A chill of frost suddenly formed.
The figure’s movements obviously slowed for an instant.
But it was in this instant, Pei Jinye’s blood energy shook, and he forcefully stamped a footprint on the ground, charging straight ahead against the dragon-like raging wind!
One stamp! One charge! One sword slash!
A burst of azure light shone brightly like an Azure Dragon at this moment.
“Green Dragon Sword Art?”
The opponent clearly recognized Pei Jinye’s sword technique, and interestingly, Pei Jinye was wielding a silver-white small sword.
In an instant.
It seemed like thunder exploded.
The two figures, both with their blood energy surging like rainbows, both carrying the momentum of a tsunami, collided and broke through a wall.
“Bang!”
Amidst the billowing smoke.
The armor on Pei Jinye’s body was shattered to pieces.
Tearing off the fragmented helmet, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
His internal organs clearly suffered severe damage from the collision just now.
Luckily, he had previously devoured Xie Zuxin’s ability, or else he really wouldn’t have the confidence to fight against his opponent now.
The opponent was from the Body Technique System!
Pei Jinye felt somewhat moved.
However, from the exchange just now, he realized that his opponent’s blood energy was at least twice his own… perhaps even more!
“Bang!”
Just as Pei Jinye was preparing to flee, the wall next to him suddenly burst open.
The bloody metallic tail pierced through in an instant.
“Snap!”
Pei Jinye caught it firmly.
Poker-faced.
He gripped it tightly.
Freezing!
“Crack!”
He crushed it!
