Chapter 151: Chapter 149: The Flame God Bird

If Gong Baoding couldn’t defeat Yan Biqing, then at the critical moment, he could still activate that sleeper agent to buy time to escape.

Ding Mingguang certainly didn’t want Gong Baoding, who had just recovered from severe injuries, to die on a mission.

Without Wen Wen’s assistance, the battle between Yan Biqing and Gong Baoding soon reached its climax. Despite Gong Baoding’s efforts, the significant gap in their strength meant he still lost.

He knelt on the ground, his body’s flames dying out, and the ring of fire around him was now just a thin layer, clearly unable to hold up any longer.

"As a superpower user in the Mastery Realm, your strength is truly formidable, but I still have to bury you here, such a pity," he said.

While saying it was a pity, his face bore a fierce smile.

Initially, he had tried to learn how to become a human based on his original memories.

But the things that happened along the way made him realize he did not need to become a human.

He was inherently a superior being, so why downgrade himself?

Screaming, despair, crying—that was what he wanted. As for the rest, it was merely the influence of Yan Biqing’s consciousness.

Yan Biqing bent down, picked up a goose-egg-sized rock, weighed it in his hand, and looked at Gong Baoding with a cold laugh.

"Flames, can they block a rock!"

His hand flashed green as he concentrated all his strength, ready to throw the rock.

The power of this rock would be no less than that of a cannonball!

Gong Baoding closed his eyes, now completely out of strength to dodge.

Just as Yan Biqing was about to throw the rock, a crisp crack came from within his body, and then the data stream across his body went into disarray.

The thrown rock deviated from its course, whizzing over Gong Baoding’s head and cleanly snapping a large tree in half behind him!

"What is this..."

Blood gushed from the wound, and Yan Biqing swung his hands, trying to stop the bleeding, but there were more than two wounds on his body, and they were not something hands could cover.

"Now you can’t use your abilities anymore, right? With your physical condition, I don’t need to make a move; you will die," said Ding Mingguang, emerging from the shadows, speaking to Yan Biqing. "Teacher... no, perhaps I can’t call you teacher anymore, from now on, it will continue to disrupt your body."

After arriving here, Ding Mingguang realized this was the perfect opportunity he had been looking for; by igniting the sleeper now, Yan Biqing would die instantly.

"Teacher, I’ve always respected you. As your student, I at least owe you a death as a human," Ding Mingguang said.

"Hey... hehe... hahaha!"

Yan Biqing burst into hysterical laughter, a green glow enveloping his body, and the blood no longer spurted. Ding Mingguang’s expression changed dramatically—he had lost contact with the sleeper agent!

Among my students, you have always been very smart, but aren’t you too confident?

"I’m not your student; don’t pretend to be my teacher," Ding Mingguang said sternly.

"I’m using his body, I have his memories, why am I not him, why should I be hunted by you as soon as I was born?" Yan Biqing challenged.

Ding Mingguang was at a loss for words.

"But it doesn’t matter, as long as I deal with you, you won’t be able to track me anymore."

Yan Biqing pressed his hand to his chest, then pulled a fist-sized virtual ape out from within!

"I knew you tampered with something inside me, but I didn’t know what it was. If you hadn’t detonated it, I could never have eliminated the threat, but eventually, you still detonated the bomb you buried for his sake."

"But I didn’t expect what you buried was your ability, what will happen if I destroy it?"

Ding Mingguang’s expression was like iron. With his ability, to leave a mark on Yan Biqing’s body and remain undetected, he could only implant an autonomous, concealable Programmer Ape inside Yan Biqing’s body.

Because of this, his abilities had diminished over this period, but he had not expected to be ultimately discovered by Yan Biqing.

Yan Biqing didn’t delay, a green light flashed over her body, and the monkey in her palm let out a despairing wail before disintegrating into fragments.

Ding Mingguang also spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The death of Programmer Ape had a profound impact on him.

He temporarily lost all his abilities. Although Programmer Ape would resurrect in a few days, Ding Mingguang was doubtful Yan Biqing would give him that much time.

"I’ll deal with him first, and now you’re just a piece of trash, posing no threat."

Yan Biqing then picked up another rock, ready to throw it.

This time, hidden in the shadows, Wen Wen was prepared with a mouse, as he would not let his first Containment Officer die like this.

But soon, Wen Wen began to smile, letting the mouse hide far away to watch the battle.

Because he knew, this time he was going to win!

The rock was thrown by Yan Biqing, but at that moment, Gong Baoding’s body burst into flames, instantly transforming into a fireball several meters in diameter that engulfed him.

The rock hadn’t even reached his body before it turned into magma and fell to the ground.

The fireball floated midair, then a sharp screech pierced the skies.

Moments later, red wings, blazing with flames, burst through the enormous fireball, suddenly spreading wide. The flames fell like raindrops, dreamlike and surreal.

Left in the air was a massive bird with a wingspan of several meters.

A body of magma and feathers of flames, its head and tail adorned with gorgeous plumes formed from seven-colored flames; this was indeed a mythical firebird!

Gong Baoding had completed the Assimilation!

...

Outside the amusement park, Gao Fang sighed.

"Ah, this fella really can’t stay out of trouble. I have to guard not just against that crazy detective but also from others who might kill him."

He took out a two-way radio with a strong signal and was about to throw it into the amusement park to help Yan Biqing escape.

This two-way radio was custom made; its signal transmission device was hard to block, which is why Yan Biqing had managed to escape repeatedly.

Under the bizarre effect of his ability, the two-way radio flew out.

This was his ability used for delivering prizes, and it was generally hard to disrupt.

But at that moment, the two-way radio was intercepted by a hand as big as a banana leaf, instantly crushed into parts.

"Ah... this two-way radio can’t even be bought with money..."

Gao Fang, distressed, stretched out his hand but was unable to recover it.

Standing in front of him was a towering strong man, clad in thick iron armor, standing there like a huge iron can.

"Odd, who are you?" Gao Fang tilted his head, looking at the man as he asked.

"Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is... you’re going to die here!"

The strong man said with a deep voice, then charged at Gao Fang like a freight truck.

Gao Fang hummed lightly, unimpressed that just any person could come up to him and tell him he would die here; wasn’t that a bit disgraceful?

He floated lightly toward the strong man, holding a rusty Black Iron Nail, intending to kill the strong man.

As a duplicate whose sole purpose was for entertainment, Gao Fang himself had no attack abilities, but the Black Iron Nail did!
