With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal
Chapter 110 - 104: Chemical Plant Crisis

Chapter 110: Chapter 104: Chemical Plant Crisis

At the same time.

In the old residential area about a kilometer from the chemical plant.

The residents had long received evacuation notices and had moved away from this troublesome place.

The entire area was empty and eerily quiet.

In the underground garage, it was dark and damp, filled with a sense of decay.

In this sunless underworld, strange roars could be faintly heard.

The faint light only barely revealed the outlines of objects.

[Venom] Liu Ru!

Meng Chuan’s fist of murderous intent, like an invisible shackle, tightly bound him, preventing him from using his powerful recovery ability to heal himself.

At this moment, Liu Ru’s consciousness was battling for control of her body with Venom.

In an instant, her body was tugged by two completely different forces, shaking violently.

One of her hands clawed at the ground with such force that her nails dug deeply into the cement, creating sharp, piercing sounds.

The other hand desperately grabbed at her own chest, as if trying to forcibly pull out the Celestial Demon within her.

Her face was twisted beyond recognition, half contorted in pain, the other half sinister and cunning.

Her mouth stretched wide, sometimes emitting Venom’s angry roars, at other times letting out Liu Ru’s painful moans.

The two sounds intertwined, forming a haunting and chilling melody.

"This body is... is mine..."

Liu Ru squeezed out the words between clenched teeth, her voice hoarse.

The Celestial Demon was not to be outdone, hissing:

"Hsss, you’re merely my puppet!"

In that dim and cramped basement, a fierce battle of consciousness entered its climax.

Being severely injured, Venom felt an unprecedented threat.

To completely suppress Liu Ru, it had to make a decision.

Ultimately, Venom sacrificed part of its sensory abilities, gathering all its demonic thoughts for a last-ditch effort.

This compressed, intensified demonic thought, like a surge of black tidal waves, instantly drowned Liu Ru’s consciousness.

Liu Ru’s resistance grew weaker, her eyes gradually losing light, her body ceasing to struggle.

Venom once again seized control of the body, slowly rising from the ground in stiff and eerie movements.

As Venom revived, squirming, spreading, growing, tar-like slime once again enveloped her entire head.

...

Inside the Demon Nest.

Luo Guanyun was surrounded by flickering lightning, like the Thunder God descending to earth.

His silhouette appeared and disappeared amidst the lightning, each bolt carrying a world-destroying power, fiercely striking the Celestial Demon in front.

Those bolts were like angry thunder dragons, clawing and tooth-baring as they pounced on the Celestial Demon.

While fiercely battling the Celestial Demon, Luo Guanyun glanced deep into the Demon Nest.

Blinding light was fiercely clashing with rolling demon waves, two completely different powers colliding.

Seeing this breathtaking scene, Luo Guanyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, thought I was done for today."

Coming back to his senses, Luo Guanyun no longer focused on the distant top-level battlefield but concentrated all his attention on the terrifying monster before him.

This monster floated in the air like a giant balloon, over ten meters tall.

Dark brown skin occasionally oozed nauseating dark green liquid, its entire body emitting a pungent stench.

In an instant, lightning True Qi surged madly in Luo Guanyun’s palm.

Blue and white electrical light became increasingly dazzling, crackling with explosive sounds.

Veins bulged on his arm, wildly pulling charges from the air, condensing into streams of plasma.

As the plasma continuously compressed and condensed, his body seemed twisted by this powerful force, with the temperature sharply rising.

"Thunder Assault!"

Luo Guanyun suddenly stepped forward, his right fist wrapped in explosive plasma, punching straight at the monster.

In a moment, even the surrounding air was obliterated and vaporized by this high voltage.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion resounded, the monster’s head instantly burst, dark green slime and chunks of flesh splattered everywhere.

With the massive impact, most of the monster’s head was blown off, its remaining body collapsing without support.

Luo Guanyun quickly stepped forward, carefully searching through the remains.

"Corrosion Heart, five million in the bag."

He fished out a peculiar heart with an inky hue from a pile of flesh.

...

"Yongzhi, the Sharp Knife Team is about to enter the chemical plant, enlarge the surveillance feed."

The leader’s voice came through the intercom.

"Roger that!"

Meng Yongzhi quickly responded, as part of the backup team, he was transferred to the Celestial Net Department to assist with remote surveillance work.

Soon, the Celestial Net’s surveillance feed successfully switched and zoomed in on the chemical plant area.

Under the cover of night, a group of people cautiously made their way toward the chemical plant.

Meng Yongzhi watched intently, his gaze following their movements closely.

When he looked carefully, his heart suddenly clenched!

He spotted Meng Chuan among the figures.

At the sight, Meng Yongzhi’s brows furrowed into a frown, his eyes full of worry.

His nephew Meng Chuan, the child he had watched grow up, was now in the midst of a dangerous mission.

Meng Yongzhi silently prayed in his heart:

"Chuan’er, you must stay safe, be extremely cautious..."

...

Chemical Plant.

The tense atmosphere, like an invisible net, enveloped everyone.

Li Zhun and Deputy Zhang split from the team, sneaking silently towards the rooftop like leopards hidden in the darkness.

Li Zhun slightly turned, lowering his voice to speak to Deputy Zhang:

"That deputy priest is not weak. We must act cautiously and look for an opportunity to strike, aiming for a one-hit kill!"

Zhang Yunpu nodded solemnly, agreeing.

Meanwhile, Meng Chuan and the other team members, in a wedge formation, swiftly searched towards the control room inside the chemical plant.

Everyone remained highly vigilant, with Xu Qi at the forefront, eyes sharp, carefully scanning every corner.

Among the team, Meng Chuan furrowed his brows slightly, silently sensing the surroundings.

Soon, he detected a faint power, elusive and cold, blocking his probing.

Alarmed, Meng Chuan guessed this might be Demonic Qi.

Yet upon closer inspection, he found the resistance from the thin Demonic Qi was not strong.

He only needed to exert a little Heart Spirit effort, and he could easily break through.

But he recalled Li Zhun’s previous warning:

"The enemies in the factory are extremely cunning. Do not easily expose your position and alert the snake."

Thinking of this, Meng Chuan decided to act cautiously.

As they advanced deeper into the factory, the smoke grew denser.

The thick smoke seemed tangible, almost obscuring visibility.

Meng Chuan used the breathing method of the Qi Nourishing Armor Technique, his mouth and nose rapidly opening and closing, expelling inhaled smoke quickly.

Even if a small amount of smoke entered his body, the tough internal membrane of his lungs blocked it, causing no harm.

"Captain Xu, it’s the control room!"

The team cautiously entered, only to find the place in disarray.

"Everyone be alert, the Demon Path individuals might not have gone far, chase this way!"

Xu Qi, with a serious expression, decisively ordered.

The team quickly heightened their alert, tightened their grip on their weapons, and swiftly pursued in the target direction.

Before long, a junction appeared ahead with two dark and eerie passages.

At this crucial moment, Xu Qi quickly took out a heat detection device from his backpack, an essential tool for their mission capable of detecting life signs in complex environments.

Xu Qi activated the device, and a blurry image appeared on the screen.

He then lowered his voice to give orders:

"There are about seven or eight people inside, ready to advan..."

However, before he could finish, Meng Chuan’s voice interrupted.

Pressing his earpiece, he calmly stated:

"Hold on, I sensed that there should be no living beings inside the room."

This sudden information surprised everyone, making the atmosphere subtly tense.

Xu Qi instinctively frowned, a trace of doubt in his eyes, and asked:

"Are you sure?"

Given the gravity, he needed to confirm carefully.

Meng Chuan nodded forcefully, with a serious expression.

"Trust me."

After a moment of thought, Xu Qi decisively ordered:

"Let’s go, take the other path first."

Someone in the team hesitated, their face showing a conflicted expression, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately choosing to follow the captain’s direction.

In this perilous environment, obeying orders is crucial for team safety.

The team continued forward, maintaining combat formation at all times.

Meng Chuan, as the breaker, stood on Xu Qi’s right side, two positions back.

Suddenly!

The micro Celestial Demon Position detector carried by Xu Qi vibrated slightly, setting off an alert.

Xu Qi’s expression immediately changed, his tone urgent:

"Everyone on guard, there’s a Celestial Demon ahead!"

This news, like a bombshell, made everyone’s heart race.

With the Steel Bones not yet deployed, even the lowest-ranked Celestial Demon is intimidating without a Martial Arts Family present.

Meng Chuan remained calm, asking composedly:

"Do we know its specific strength?"

He pondered privately.

"If the Celestial Demon ahead is within my capability with the Steel Bones, I’ll handle it."

Xu Qi, quickly checking the detector in his hand, explained while operating it:

"My detector model is a micro one, only able to detect lower-ranked Celestial Demons. When the black gas fills up, it’s Level Nine,

Currently, the displayed concentration is only half, suggesting an opponent strength around Level Five, not exceeding Level Six."

A Level Six lower-ranked Celestial Demon corresponds to a Martial Artist with Qi Blood at the sixth pass.

Hearing this, Meng Chuan made his decision.

He solemnly said:

"Leave it to me, wait here."
