104: The interaction between Heaven and Man? No, this is my man-made calamity!
“Boom—”
Another explosion came from deep underground.
Flames shot up into the sky through the gaps in the ventilation ducts.
Su Wanqing floated in the air, still somewhat dazed as she looked at the fortress below, which had already become a living hell.
Everything happened too fast.
From infiltration, to ambush, to the sudden betrayal of the inside man, and finally to Lin Yuan’s kick that ignited the entire scene, only a short dozen minutes had passed.
“Well, we’ve messed up now.”
Lin Yuan’s voice rang out beside her.
Su Wanqing turned to look.
Lin Yuan’s face showed not relief at having escaped danger, but rather a hint of… dissatisfaction?
“Messed up?” Su Wanqing’s voice was somewhat cold. “The Qin Family is conducting inhumane human experiments, attempting to covet the power of the Abyssal Tribulation Thunder, and secretly establishing live experiment sites!”
She took out her terminal.
“We must report the situation here to headquarters immediately!”
“Don’t bother.”
Lin Yuan waved his hand, interrupting her action.
“Do you think that old fellow Qin Shan would leave such an obvious loophole?”
Su Wanqing’s movement paused.
Lin Yuan pouted and also took out his terminal.
He tapped a few times, and the screen only showed an “X”.
No signal.
“See?” Lin Yuan shook the terminal in his hand. “The signal in this place has probably been blocked by him.”
“We are now an isolated island.”
Su Wanqing’s expression darkened.
Being unable to contact headquarters meant they would receive no support.
Below was a completely insane B-rank Expert and the entire armed forces of a Family.
“Then we…”
She was about to say “break out”, but the word hadn’t left her mouth yet.
“Boom—!!!”
A loud bang came from the fortress beneath their feet!
The ground trembled!
The dome of the fortress suddenly bulged upwards!
Countless cracks spread across the dome!
The next second.
“Bang—!!!”
The entire dome exploded!
Countless metal fragments, mixed with flames and thick smoke, shot up into the sky!
A figure, engulfed in towering rage and killing intent, burst out of the broken hole and rushed into the air!
It was Qin Shan!
At this moment, he no longer had any of the composure of a Family head!
He was covered in blood, his clothes ragged, and one arm was twisted unnaturally, clearly having suffered a serious injury in the recent internal strife.
But the aura emanating from him was more terrifying than ever before!
The pressure of a B-rank Expert at the Guiyuan Realm was released without reservation!
“You! Little! Beast!”
He squeezed these three words through gritted teeth, full of venom.
His life’s work, his ambition to dominate the world, the future of his entire Family!
All of it had been destroyed tonight by this brat!
“I found you!”
Qin Shan roared, and the air beneath his feet exploded as he charged straight towards Lin Yuan and Adjutant Su!
His speed was more than a match for the Thunder Falcon Wings!
“Damn it!”
This old geezer must be cheating!
“Adjutant Su, hold on tight!”
Lin Yuan didn’t have time to think, he wrapped an arm around Su Wanqing’s slender waist and transformed into a streak of electricity, speeding away into the distance!
“Trying to run?”
Qin Shan roared from behind.
“Even if you run to the ends of the earth today, I will still grind your bones to dust!”
He raised his arm and made a grasping motion in the direction Lin Yuan was fleeing!
“Guiyuan Hand!”
A giant hand formed by concentrated Spiritual Qi fiercely grabbed towards Lin Yuan and Adjutant Su!
“Damn it!”
Lin Yuan cursed.
At this critical moment, the energy in his body surged wildly into the Thunder Falcon Wings on his back!
“Buzz—!”
The Thunder Falcon Wings glowed brightly, and their speed increased by another notch!
“Boom!”
Holding Su Wanqing, he narrowly avoided the giant hand.
The giant hand missed and slammed onto a distant snow mountain.
“Rumble—”
The entire mountain peak trembled violently.
Large amounts of snow cascaded down, forming a small-scale avalanche.
Just the aftermath had such power!
Lin Yuan’s heart sank.
“We can’t escape!”
Su Wanqing’s voice was tinged with urgency.
She looked back.
Qin Shan’s figure flickered several times in the air, closing the distance again.
He was like a persistent evil, impossible to shake off!
Su Wanqing gritted her silver teeth and formed a hand seal.
“Dance of the Ice Phoenix!”
Dozens of ice cones shot towards Qin Shan from behind!
“A mere speck of light, trying to shine?”
Disdain flashed in Qin Shan’s eyes.
He didn’t even look, simply letting his protective true essence vibrate!
“Bang bang bang bang!”
Those ice cones, powerful enough to pierce tanks, shattered into countless ice crystals when they came within three meters of his body.
They couldn’t cause him any obstruction at all!
“No…” Su Wanqing’s face paled slightly. “The gap is too great.”
“Nonsense!” Lin Yuan retorted impatiently. “If he were that easy to deal with, could he have been a local tyrant for so many years?”
His brain was working at high speed.
What to do?
Run, definitely can’t outrun him.
Fight, even less so.
The old man’s energy reserves were at least dozens of times his own.
A head-on confrontation would be suicide.
He had to find a way to stall him!
Even if only for a few seconds!
Lin Yuan’s gaze swept across the sky above.
The night sky over Kunlun Mountain was clear, with only a lone moon and countless stars.
The weather was too good.
So good it made him feel a little despair.
If only there was a thunderstorm… wait!
Thunderstorm?
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Yuan’s mind!
He remembered the equipment description for [Thunder Falcon Wings].
As an A-rank strategic equipment, besides flight, it also had a core ability.
[Thunderstorm Edict]!
Using one’s own lightning power as a guide, it could leverage the lightning elements between heaven and earth to artificially create a small-scale thunderstorm!
It was a truly divine skill that could summon wind and rain!
However… this move consumed a massive amount of energy.
With his current C-rank cultivation, forcibly activating it would likely drain him dry!
Do it!
A hint of madness flashed in Lin Yuan’s eyes.
Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well take a gamble!
“Adjutant Su!” he suddenly roared.
“What is it?”
“Trust me this once!”
Lin Yuan’s voice was filled with unquestionable determination.
Su Wanqing hadn’t even reacted yet.
Lin Yuan had already poured all the Abyssal Tribulation Thunder within his body into the Thunder Falcon Wings on his back!
“Buzz—!!!”
Streaks of black-purple lightning snakes danced across the surface of the wings!
Qin Shan, who was in pursuit, suddenly stopped.
He looked in Lin Yuan’s direction, his eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty.
“This is…”
He felt the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth around him begin to become restless.
The originally clear night sky began to show dark clouds.
In just a few short seconds, a thick thundercloud had already formed above Lin Yuan’s head!
“This is… Heaven-Man Induction?!”
Qin Shan’s face showed shock!
He felt the pressure originating from heaven and earth, his mind greatly shaken!
How was this possible?!
Inciting celestial phenomena was a method only B-rank high-level Experts could possess!
What kind of monster was this kid, after all?!
“Damn it… faster… quicker…”
“If it doesn’t work soon, I’ll lose divine body electricity level!”
Lin Yuan felt his body was about to be drained dry.
His limbs and bones were all groaning in pain.
His vision began to blur.
But he still gritted his teeth, maintaining the energy output!
Finally.
“Boom crack!”
A thick bolt of lightning formed within the thundercloud, illuminating his pale yet frantic face!
“Old dog Qin!”
Lin Yuan used all his strength to let out a roar.
“Please take a shower!”
With a thought.
The Thunder Falcon Wings on his back pointed downwards!
“Rumble—!!!”
The lightning bolt, which had been accumulating for a long time, tore through the night sky, carrying world-destroying power, and struck down directly at Qin Shan!
Qin Shan’s pupils constricted!
The power of this strike had already reached B-rank!
He dared not be careless in the slightest, roaring, his entire true essence erupted, forming a shield above his head!
“Boom—!!!”
The lightning struck fiercely upon the shield!
Qin Shan’s figure was forcefully smashed down a dozen meters from the air by this immense force!
And this was only the beginning!
“Boom crack! Boom crack! Boom crack!”
Within the thundercloud, countless lightning snakes danced wildly!
Bolt after bolt of lightning, like rain, poured down onto the area where Qin Shan was!
Qin Shan was instantly submerged in a sea of lightning!
“You little beast!!”
His exasperated roar came from within the sea of lightning.
Lin Yuan looked at the “fireworks” below and grinned.
But he didn’t stop for a moment.
He knew that this thunderstorm wouldn’t trap Qin Shan for long.
“Adjutant Su, hold on tight!”
Before he finished speaking.
He detonated the energy stored in the Thunder Falcon Wings.
“Bang—!!!”
A dull sonic boom exploded in the air!
Lin Yuan, holding Su Wanqing, transformed into an almost invisible streak of light and vanished from his original spot!
However.
His direction of flight left Su Wanqing’s mind blank.
He did not continue to flee into the distance.
Instead, he turned around and swooped down towards the completely chaotic Qin Family Fortress below!
