Chapter 136: Chapter 136 Shuguang and Silver Light

Shuguang propelled herself towards Chen Qing, and even in the deep sea, her speed was extremely terrifying. Vast shadows beneath her surged forward alongside Shuguang, attacking Chen Qing.

The dark shadows seemed to possess a life force of their own, spreading at a very frightening speed, continuously devouring and claiming the surrounding seawater.

Without a doubt, Shuguang was an Extraordinary Ability User.

All members of Cross Star, apart from those expendables, were Extraordinary Ability Users.

Liu Jin’s ability was the manifestation of emotions, and Shuguang’s Extraordinary Ability was not weak. However, even Shine did not know what Shuguang’s Extraordinary Ability actually was.

All they knew was that Shuguang’s Extraordinary Ability had something to do with darkness; the specifics, however, Shuguang had never revealed.

Ranking the members of Cross Star by their pure Combat Power would divide them into three tiers, with Shuguang, Silver Light, and the absent Huan Cai unquestionably at the top tier.

Liu Jin’s Extraordinary Ability was strong, too, but she was no match for someone like Chen Qing.

Her own combat capabilities were actually not that strong.

Silver Light’s Extraordinary Ability was related to machinery, yet he was not a Mechanic; he followed the path of a fighter.

As for Shine, no one knew what Shine’s Extraordinary Ability was; he kept it very well hidden.

Looking at it this way, the relationships between these twisted maniacs of Cross Star were actually quite superficial.

Chen Qing raised her hand slightly, and the Wind Shadow Jades behind her immediately intercepted Shuguang halfway.

The massive Mechanical Sea Beasts blocked Shuguang’s path, surrounding her. The sheer difference in size alone was enough to induce fear at first sight.

The powerful presence emitted by the Wind Shadow Jades was intimidating, even if through the blurred images on the screen, the survivors on the other side could feel its deterrence.

Just their giant mechanical eyes nearly filled the entire screen.

Yet not a trace of fear could be seen on Shuguang’s face; in fact, she seemed quite excited.

Shuguang floated in the midst of the black sea water, confronting the Mechanical Sea Beast face-to-face.

Compared to the Mechanical Sea Beast Wind Shadow Jade, Shuguang was not even as big as one of their eyeballs.

Her gaze seemed to pierce through the swarms of Mechanical Sea Beasts to capture Chen Qing. Shuguang’s normally impassive face suddenly revealed a smile teeming with extreme malice.

She raised her hand, titled her head, dragging her fingers feignedly across her throat – a silent threat to Chen Qing.

To be in the same team with Liu Jin and Shine, Shuguang certainly was not a normal person.

Indifference was just a facade; the true Shuguang had only been seen by those now dead.

Even Shine had not seen Shuguang’s truly insane side.

As Shuguang moved, the dark shadows surged like a tide towards the Wind Shadow Jades, swiftly engulfing their bodies.

It was as though the Wind Shadow Jades were being devoured by the shadows.

Yet Chen Qing could still sense the presence of the Wind Shadow Jades, which suggested that Shuguang’s Extraordinary Ability probably had nothing to do with devouring.

She couldn’t really ’eat’ the Wind Shadow Jades.

Even if that were true, it would take Shuguang a significant amount of time to deal with these Wind Shadow Jades, considering the large number that remained.

Moreover, the Wind Shadow Jades were not mechanical creations fueled by Chen Qing; they had their own means of survival.

Indeed, in the next second, a dazzling and captivating light burst forth from the body of a Wind Shadow Jade.

Chen Qing withdrew her gaze. Even if it cost them their lives, the Wind Shadow Jades could buy some time against Shuguang.

Among Cross Star, only three possessed formidable combat strength: Shuguang, Silver Light, Huan Cai.

With Huan Cai absent and Shuguang entangled by the Wind Shadow Jades, it was naturally up to Chen Qing to face Silver Light.

Eliminate those three, and Shine and Liu Jin would be tigers without claws; Chen Qing had nothing to fear from them.

Chen Qing, wielding the Black Blade, charged at Silver Light without any hesitation.

"???"

Looking left and right, Silver Light incredulously pointed at himself. What’s going on, what’s going on? What had he done to make this new comrade dislike him so much?

"New comrade, you really are... going too far."

With a smile playing on his lips, Silver Light’s beaming face, though complaining both aloud and inwardly, was actually...

eagerly anticipating the moment when he would personally cut off Chen Qing’s head.

Shine had already given the order—Chen Qing was fair game, which meant he could let loose and really enjoy himself.

What use was a Mechanic who could only rely on external forces?

Silver Light looked down on Chen Qing; in fact, he had utter disdain for all professionals who relied on other sources of power.

He looked down on anyone who was not an Extraordinary Ability User. He arrogantly and firmly believed that only those with Extraordinary Abilities were chosen by this world.

The others were all defective products; they couldn’t truly be called human.

Whether civilians or professionals, he felt justified in purging the world of these imperfections.

Such twisted thoughts were impressive for Silver Light to conceive and just as impressive for Shine to have brought such people together.

Hoisting the artillery he always carried, Silver Light aimed at Chen Qing, and the next second, a shell exploded deep in the sea!

The tremendous force made the deep sea itself tremble.

A special gas spread through the water. It did not mix with the water, and what little visibility there was now became completely obscured.

Although Silver Light had always disdained professionals, calling them inferior products, he did not hesitate to use the very tools he needed.

The weapons he was using now had been purchased from the Treasure Sea, custom-ordered from a specialized Mechanic family at a great expense.

All of Silver Light’s weapons were specially customized by that Mechanic family, each one tailor-made to fit him perfectly.

"Dead?"

Silver Light raised an eyebrow. Was it really that simple?

This... of course, it wasn’t possible!

The next second, a streak of cold light flashed from the darkness.

Silver Light couldn’t react in time, and Chen Qing had already emerged from the unknown gases with his blade held high!

The sharp and icy edge of the blade, much like Chen Qing himself, was charged with endless murderous intent as he ferociously slashed at Silver Light.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa—new comrade, you’re really scary!"

"I’m sooo scared~"

Though his words suggested fear, Silver Light’s face showed not a hint of it, filled instead with provocation, arrogance, and malice.

It was utterly obnoxious to look at.

Chen Qing’s situation didn’t seem all that great. Indeed, the bomb Silver Light had deployed had dealt him no small amount of damage.

However, he was not the only one there who knew how to use explosives.

Silver Light might understand machines, but he was not a true Mechanic. He only understood his own weapons, but...

When it came to utilizing machinery, understanding machinery, Chen Qing was generations above Silver Light!

A swarm of Spider Bombs crawled out from Chen Qing’s palm, landing on the ground, huddling and jostling together in numbers that would make one’s skin crawl...
