Chapter 272: 253 backhand 1_2

If the equipment wasn’t getting interfered with, it would have been fine, but now...I can only rely on myself...

Inside Oasis City.

Li Chengyi held the Book of Record, pondering the last sentence written on it.

Is this sentence the location of the Hall of Oblivion?

Could it be a riddle? Or an acrostic? Or is there a hidden meaning in the characters?

He carefully placed the Book of Record inside his chest, then covered it again with the Floral Dress, putting the book and other body equipment together into a special costume-changing space unique to Evil Flower.

He had discovered the costume-changing space quite early on as a special function.

When wearing the Floral Dress, some items on his body that obstructed the dress would be automatically cleared temporarily, all stowed into an unknown temporary space.

He hadn’t thoroughly researched this space yet, but what could be certain was that it was absolutely secure.

After storing the Book of Record safely.

He turned to leave the villa.

Suddenly the signal device on his arm automatically started beeping.

This device was a special signal receiver with an ultra-strong pulse reception capacity. It could receive discontinuous communication signals in complex and interference-intensive battlefield environments.

Because it had enough power and transmitted simple messages, it was highly resistant to interference.

But consequently, it couldn’t facilitate conversation, only able to send simple sentences.

Picking up the signal device, Li Chengyi glanced at it.

"Encountered enemy, rush back."

’About time, managing to hold out until now is not bad.’ He wasn’t surprised.

In these small-scale battles, Rainbow Candy’s various intelligent equipment weapons, which were always relied upon, would most likely be rendered useless.

In modern battlefields, the intensity of electronic warfare far exceeds what most people can imagine.

Even in places like Sutan, which are far behind Yi Country and White Star, general anti-interference devices simply can’t withstand once electronic warfare begins.

Theoretically, any remotely controlled equipment would fail in such conditions if it didn’t have enough power and had too complex a structure.

Unless you possess a communication technology far more advanced than your opponent.

But clearly, Rainbow Candy wouldn’t be able to reach that point.

’Objective achieved, time to go back.’

Li Chengyi made up his mind and forcefully propelled himself off the ground with his feet.

Boom!!

The ground suddenly exploded, and the powerful recoil sent him shooting out like a cannonball, breaking through the wall and returning to the streets.

The streets were completely made of metal, much stronger than ordinary walls. Li Chengyi had no intention of continuing to smash through and instead propelled himself forward, leaping down the mountain.

Hum!!

Just as he jumped and took to the air, the ground suddenly erupted with a powerful gravitational pull, his weight instantly increasing several times, forcing him to crash back down to the ground.

Bang!

Li Chengyi fell hard, and before he could stabilize himself,

Several rocket launchers with faint trails of flame were already flying toward him from all around.

More than a dozen elderly Sand Thieves had emerged from the corners of the buildings at some point, shouldering launchers and launching a surprise attack on him.

Not only that, but further away, creatures wearing black metal armor, each over six meters long and resembling giant elephants, were charging at him with madness.

"Seeking death." Li Chengyi’s brow slightly furrowed, as he was in a hurry to go back to the aid of Rainbow Candy and the others. He had no time to waste with these Sand Thieves.

Obviously, it must have been his earlier takedown of the arrangement at the exhibition hall that finally provoked the city’s Sand Thieves to attempt to kill him en masse.

But to kill him, relying on these things... would be far from enough.

Swish.

Black wings spread out behind him. Layer upon layer of blade-like feathers erected, reflecting a bright and sharp luster.

Bending his body, he bent his knees.

He exerted force!

Boom!

The ground exploded. Soft Qi Eruption.

In a split second, Li Chengyi’s figure disappeared from the spot, rushing straight toward the exit leading down the mountain.

His speed in that instant surpassed the speed of sound, blasting open a white cloud of mist.

This was the first time he had truly reached the speed of sound in movement. Previously, only his hand speed and reaction speed could barely keep up with other Reinforced Humans and Flying Yi.

But he had never fully unleashed his own movement until now.

This time, bursting forth at full speed, he had unexpectedly reached conventional sound speed.

The speed of striking and the speed of movement are not the same thing.

Previously, Li Chengyi, when facing the supersonic Flying Yi, could only passively take hits, using defense as offense, or utilizing the Flower Language Ability to forcibly control and influence the opponent, thus damaging the opponent’s Flying Yi and finally defeating the adversary.

But now...

After the Dragon Transformation Enhancement had ended, there was a new level of improvement to his overall physical quality.

Purely relying on the massive reactive force amplified by the Floral Dress, he forcibly propelled himself to a movement speed of twice the speed of sound.

If Shadow Flash could be used to avoid many detection effects, then moving at the speed of sound was a real killer in close combat.

Under moonlight, on the streets, the elite Sand Thieves who had been scattered about were caught completely off guard.

They were less than two hundred meters away from Li Chengyi, and at that moment saw only a shadow flash by, as rocket shells were dodged.

Then came the loud whoosh of the wind and the explosive boom of breaking the sound barrier.

A shadow streaked across the street like a brush dipped in ink.

’Glint Flash.’

The moment the shadow charged into the crowd, a golden flame exploded violently.

Within a radius of fifteen meters, the golden light covered the entire width of the street, all the Sand Thieves were submerged in the golden flame.

There were no groans, no screams.

Boom!

Only now did the rocket shells hit the ground and explode, their flames and noise carrying far into the distance.

Nearly twenty Sand Thieves blocking the street were scorched by the Glint Flash in an instant, turning into charred corpses that fell silently to the ground.

The golden light extinguished.

Li Chengyi had already vanished, still maintaining supersonic speed as he rushed toward the exit.

There were super-strong gravity devices in the sky, making it impossible to fly away, so the fastest way to leave during such times was on the ground.

He moved at excessive speed, buildings on both sides of the street whizzing past like fleeting views.

Soon, after passing a black iron wall, he had already completed half of the journey back.

Suddenly.

Boom!

Huge explosions erupted in front of him.

The explosions originated from the ground, the flames a pale yellow, their shockwave carrying concentric ripples of air currents, turning into wild winds that slammed into everything around.

Taken by surprise, Li Chengyi too was struck by the shockwave. His full-speed sprint was halted, decelerating.

He braked with one foot on the ground, wings reflexively guarding his entire body.

"Just received an urgent message, a little ant has actually sneaked into the city, even bypassing so many set ambushes..."

A five-meter-tall silver Reinforced Human with a bright white Cyclopean eye slowly rose from the flames, looking at Li Chengyi.

At the same time, several Yellow Giant Lizards, ranging from six to ten meters in length, began to rise from the houses and ground in armor, eyeing Li Chengyi with a predatory gaze.

"Since you’re here, just..." The words of the Cyclopean Reinforced Human were cut off abruptly, feeling a flash of darkness before his eyes.

Boom!!

A terrifyingly intense shockwave erupted from behind him.

Golden light gleamed, flames surged.

His massive body was struck by the explosion, tumbling forward.

"Fire!" The Reinforced Human roared in anger, vents all around his body suddenly spewing out a torrent of bright yellow and white flames.

Flames burning at over three thousand degrees spread in every direction, quickly turning a ten-meter radius of the surrounding streets into a sea of fire.

But just as he spewed flames, he realized something was amiss.

His body... the machine’s...

Why was it tilting slightly?!

"What... What’s going on!?" The Cyclopean Reinforced Human cried out in panic.

Amidst the flames, his body from head to waist was split by a clean crack, unseen until now.

The sharp, delicate crack precisely divided his body into left and right halves.

Hiss...

The upper half began to slide downward.

Boom!

In that instant, the inner cavity exploded within the flames, the inferno spreading even wider, engulfing everything within dozens of meters.

At this time, Li Chengyi had long since left the area, nearly reaching the final exit.

As he came into possession of the true Book of Record, a new Crescent Moon mark was slowly emerging on his chest, unbeknownst to him.
