57: Section 57

It was obvious that these three had set a trap for Jing Yuan, clearly intending to get him killed.

Locke laughed loudly from above, while Fann said nothing, silently firing a rocket instead.

The projectile hit the Phage Beast, completely infuriating it.

Being the closest to the Phage Beast, Jing Yuan became the first target of its retaliation.

This Phage Beast was massive; when it stood up on its legs, it was as tall as a two-story building.

It charged straight at Jing Yuan, forcing him to dodge in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Locke and the other two took the opportunity to flee!

But how could Jing Yuan let them get away?

Jing Yuan adjusted his posture, and under the dual influence of the gravity body's propulsion system and his psychokinesis, the gravity body performed a sharp turn.

Jing Yuan charged directly toward Locke and his group.

Seeing this, the Phage Beast also immediately rushed over.

Fann, Locke, and Loriv were wearing power armor, making their running speed much faster than an average person's.

They maneuvered flexibly through the corridors, wanting to escape the dangerous situation behind them as quickly as possible.

But no matter how fast they were, they weren't faster than a gravity body.

They thought that even if Jing Yuan was powerful, he would at least have to take a few hits when facing a Phage Beast of this caliber.

However, they didn't expect that Jing Yuan wouldn't take a single hit and would instead lead the Phage Beast directly to them.

“You three really are shameless!”

Locke was shocked when he saw Jing Yuan: “How did you catch up so fast!”

Jing Yuan was flying directly with his thrusters; his speed was naturally faster than their running!

“Whoever provoked the Phage Beast deals with it!”

Jing Yuan accelerated, leaving the three of them behind.

Now, the three of them had to face the Phage Beast directly.

The massive Phage Beast chased after them. Because it was so large, it advanced by smashing through the floors, which hindered its speed to some extent and gave the three members of the Light and Shadow Society time to escape.

Jing Yuan was the first to run out of the building. Seeing an armored vehicle parked nearby, he jumped onto the back of the truck and used his psychokinesis to control the accelerator and steering, driving the vehicle away.

Fann and the others finally ran out of the building, but when they saw that the vehicle had been taken by Jing Yuan, they were completely dumbfounded.

For Jing Yuan, if you are unkind, you can't blame me for being unjust.

Sensing the vibrations behind them, the three had no other choice but to continue running forward.

As the saying goes, one brings trouble upon oneself!

They had retrieved the medicine without alerting the Phage Beast and could have left safely, but they insisted on messing with Jing Yuan, only to end up being messed with themselves.

Boom!

The massive Phage Beast tore through the building, turning what was already a ruin into a pile of construction debris.

The Phage Beast burst out of the building, covered in various debris, causing a temporary cloud of dust to fill the air.

It looked like a doomsday behemoth.

“Speed up!” Fann said as he ran. He was the oldest; although the light power armor provided power, his own physical capabilities were too poor to gain much of an advantage.

Fann steeled his heart, “I'll hold it back!”

Jing Yuan, seeing this from ahead, felt a bit of admiration in his heart.

Locke and Loriv said nothing, only focusing on running forward.

“Aah!” Fann fired with all his might. In his own eyes at that moment, he was a hero covering for his teammates.

Even if he died, he wanted to have a moment of self-sacrificial glory!

Unfortunately, in the eyes of the Phage Beast, he was nothing!

The Phage Beast didn't even look at him properly; it just stepped down and crushed him to death in passing.

Sensing the life source essence, the Phage Beast picked up Fann's corpse, absorbed the life source essence, and then continued the pursuit.

Seeing that Fann had only bought such a tiny amount of time, Locke cursed inwardly: Useless!

He looked at Loriv beside him and came up with a plan.

Locke struck Loriv on the head with the butt of his gun.

Loriv never expected Locke to backstab him at a time like this.

Unprepared, he fell to the ground.

“It's so big, it should take a while to eat him!”

“Truly shameless!”

Jing Yuan saw everything that happened behind him.

Even if Locke managed to survive, Jing Yuan would still kill him!

Keeping such a scumbag on the Lighthouse would be a waste of food.

Jing Yuan stopped the car, and ten flying daggers shot out together, forming a Flying Cone.

Jing Yuan rushed back, first giving Locke a punch that knocked him to the ground.

Then, he controlled the Flying Cone to streak through the sky and pierce heavily into the Phage Beast's head.

The skin of this Phage Beast was much tougher than a Snake Dog's; Jing Yuan had to use all his strength just to open a hole in its head.

The Phage Beast crashed to the ground.

Because of this, Loriv managed to save his life.

After being punched by Jing Yuan, Locke originally thought he was finished and about to be caught by the Phage Beast.

But he didn't expect Jing Yuan to kill the Phage Beast in a single blow.

Locke walked up to Jing Yuan and cursed: “Since you could kill it, why didn't you act sooner! You bastard, you caused one of our men to die!”

Bang!

Loriv rushed over and sent Locke flying with a punch.

“You're the bastard!”

Locke scrambled up from the ground, a smirk on his face, “Well, you're not dead, are you!”

Loriv really wanted to rush up and kill the guy, but when he saw the Phage Beast behind Locke open its eyes, he gave up on the idea.

Even Jing Yuan didn't expect this Phage Beast to revive so quickly!

Jing Yuan didn't bother with it.

Locke wanted to say something more, but he sensed movement behind him.

Before he could turn around, he was grabbed by the Phage Beast.

Like an old chain-smoker, the Phage Beast sucked out all of Locke's life source essence in one breath.

Absorbing life source essence also helped the Phage Beast recover its body.

After finishing off Locke, the Phage Beast became lively and vigorous again.

Seeing this, Jing Yuan charged forward with his Greatsword.

He first sliced off the hand that was holding Locke, then moved to the Phage Beast's abdomen and split its belly open with a single strike.

Loriv didn't just stand by watching; he immediately took out his rifle and fired at the Phage Beast.

With Loriv drawing the fire in front, it gave Jing Yuan an opportunity.

Jing Yuan sliced open the Phage Beast's belly, but he hadn't found the spirit seed yet.

Jing Yuan used psychokinesis to control the Flying Cone and pierce it into the Phage Beast's stomach.

Without the surface defense, moving inside the Phage Beast required much less effort.

Jing Yuan controlled the Flying Cone to spin around inside the Phage Beast twice before finally locating the spirit seed.

The Flying Cone dove sharply and finally pierced the spirit seed.

A massive surge of life source essence began to flow toward Jing Yuan.

Once the absorption was complete, a long-awaited subtitle appeared before Jing Yuan's eyes.

【Psychokinesis upgraded to Rank 2!】

【Reward: Matching physical fitness upgraded to Rank 2!】

【Reward: Psychokinesis Object Manipulation Method!】

Chapter 59: Return to the Lighthouse

Jing Yuan looked at the subtitles appearing before him, feeling somewhat surprised.
