179: Section 179

Morgan shouted at Charles, "Charles, spare Mark's life!"

Hearing Morgan's voice, Charles first looked extremely annoyed, but then smiled and said, "You old geezer, even at a time like this, you still want to help Mark?"

"Charles!" Morgan sighed. "I didn't want things to develop to this point, but for the sake of the Lighthouse, you cannot kill Mark!"

"Oh?" Charles smiled. "And what if I insist on killing him?"

"Charles..."

Before Morgan could finish, Charles lifted Mark high with his right hand, and with his left hand shaped like a blade, he thrust it directly into Mark's chest.

After piercing Mark's chest, Charles's expression changed drastically.

With a violent pull of both hands, he forcibly tore Mark's head from his body!

"No!"

Seeing this scene, Ran Bing let out a heart-wrenching scream.

A look of shock also appeared on Morgan's face as he shouted, "What are you doing! Mark is the key to solving the ecology, why did you kill him!"

Charles looked at Morgan with disdain and said, "Is this why you chose Mark over me?

He is the key to solving the ecology?

Now that I possess the power of a god, if he can solve the ecology, why can't I?"

Charles's counter-question left Morgan stunned.

At this moment, Morgan understood that his son had likely been driven into a state of psychological perversion by him.

Mark was his obsession; no matter how useful Mark was, Charles was determined to kill him!

As long as Mark lived, Charles's obsession would remain.

Charles looked at Mark's head. When his hand had pierced Mark's chest earlier, he discovered that there was no flesh and blood inside, but a mechanical construction.

Below the severed head, several mechanical pipes were connected. Aside from having Mark's face, everything else about this Mark looked like a robot.

Charles might not have realized it, but this was a Humanoid Bioweapon.

He mocked Mark's face, "You transformed yourself into a monster too?"

Whiz!

Just as Charles finished speaking, a bullet grazed the skin of his face.

A trickle of blood slowly slid down.

Charles glanced in the direction the bullet came from. Ran Bing, suppressing her grief, had fired this shot with a sniper rifle.

Charles threw Mark's head in front of Ran Bing and said indifferently, "Then go and die with Mark!"

With a wave of Charles's palm, an air blade flew toward Ran Bing.

At the critical moment, Jing Yuan suddenly appeared, blocking the way in front of Ran Bing!

Ten blades arranged in a grid formation blocked the front; stopping a single air blade was a simple matter.

Charles wasn't even surprised to see Jing Yuan.

"I thought you had fled!"

"Fled?" Jing Yuan smiled slightly, but then he saw Mark's head on the ground.

Jing Yuan was enraged: "You killed Mark?"

The smile remained on Charles's face; at this point, he already felt invincible in the world.

"I'm not just going to kill Mark, I'm going to kill you too!"

Jing Yuan laughed out of extreme anger. "Good, good, good! When you were a prisoner, it was Mark who insisted on sparing your life. Now you're a big shot, Charles! You want to be the City Lord, you want to be a god, no one can stop you, but why the hell did you have to kill him!"

"If I don't kill him, should I wait for him to come back and kill me later?"

Jing Yuan nodded helplessly. He nodded because he realized he had been too naive and too wrong!

"Charles, you did the right thing! You did exactly the right thing! When you cut the grass, you have to pull it out by the roots! I should learn from you!"

Jing Yuan turned to look at Morgan nearby and roared, "Morgan, look at the damn fine son you've raised! Mark's importance! He doesn't know, but don't you? And you just let him kill Mark?"

Morgan also had a miserable expression. He knew Mark was useful and shouldn't be killed, but he couldn't control Charles!

Jing Yuan looked at the surrounding corpses of the Wasteland Hunters and cursed, "It's all my fault! I shouldn't have spared your lives!"

A murderous light flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes.

Immediately, a faint blue light emanated from The Surface of his body.

He began to burn his source essence!

"source essence... Resonance!"

Hum... Jing Yuan's body was undergoing an unexpected transformation!

Hum... The source essence burned, pushing his power to its absolute limit!

Jing Yuan estimated that his power had increased by about twofold!

Jing Yuan tightly gripped his war blade, while nine other war blades hovered in the air around him.

With his power boosted, he was about to unleash his current strongest strike.

"Nine Rivers Blade Technique Fourth Form: Confluence!"

The "Nine Rivers Blade Technique" was the technique for the weapon Nine Rivers.

As a fusion telekinetic weapon, the first three forms of the Nine Rivers Blade Technique could be used as individual blade strikes. It was only at the fourth form that it truly became a weapon fused with telekinetic attacks.

Gathering all his strength, Jing Yuan flew toward Charles like a cannonball.

Having experienced a prior battle with Jing Yuan, Charles didn't even bother to dodge.

He was extremely confident in the defense of the lin yuan zhe armor.

Jing Yuan arrived in an instant, his war blade hacking heavily into Charles's chest.

At this point, Charles was still smiling, because the war blade had not broken through the lin yuan zhe armor.

Chapter 181: lord of light and shadow

Although Jing Yuan had landed a strike on Charles, his attack was far from over!

Jing Yuan continued to apply force, and the war blades floating around him followed in quick succession!

The telekinetically controlled war blades landed exactly where the first war blade had struck.

The impact of the war blades transmitted through the armor directly into Charles's body, and only then did Charles sense that something was wrong!

As one war blade after another fell, layer upon layer of force was transmitted into Charles's body.

Charles's expression changed!

Jing Yuan smiled slightly and unleashed a final taunt: "A monkey in clothes is still not a human! Even wearing the lin yuan zhe armor, you will never become a god!"

When the sixth war blade fell, Charles's body finally couldn't withstand the impact, and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

When the eighth war blade fell, the power intensified by another layer.

Crack!

A crack finally split open on the lin yuan zhe armor!

When the ninth war blade fell, nine blades merged into one, and the power of this "Confluence" form reached its peak!

"Ya... Ah!"

Jing Yuan roared, using all his strength to keep pressing the war blade against the armor.

Starting from the crack, the armor began to shatter inch by inch!

Crack! Crack!

After the war blade split the armor along the crack, it continued downward, carving through Charles's body.

With one slash, Charles and the lin yuan zhe armor were sliced in two from the shoulder!

A look of terror appeared on Charles's face, but it was too late!

Jing Yuan knew this guy's confidence would be bursting right now, so he gave Charles no chance to react and used his full-power strike from the very start!

Charles could never have imagined that Jing Yuan, who had just been driven away by him, would possess such immense power in an instant!

But now, it was too late for anything!

Jing Yuan didn't know if the Abyss Depther had the ability to resurrect.

With a roundhouse kick, he sent the lower half of Charles's body flying into the distance, leaving only Charles's head, shoulders, and arms in front of him.

Charles was just a human wearing the Abyss Depther; logically, after being cut in two, there was no possibility of survival.

Yet Jing Yuan saw that Charles still showed signs of life, his face filled with terror as he stared fixedly at Jing Yuan.
