Chapter 107 – Finally… They Clash!
In that single second, Su Lifeng paid absolutely no attention to the attacks coming from the Xenospecies behind him.
He simply endured them head-on by rapidly beating his Bone Wings.
Agony, injuries, none of it could stop him.
Only after he kicked Zhang Huazhu out together with the door did he suddenly turn around. The scalpel in his hand instantly severed several strands of Black Thread trying to bind his Bone Wings, and at the same time, both pairs of Bone Wings swept forward with violent force.
Pfft!
As a great spray of blood splattered out on both sides of him, three of the Xenospecies that had just been crowding around him in a frenzy of attacks immediately collapsed.
Su Lifeng did not even look at them before charging at the next Xenospecies.
Against these ordinary Soldier Types, Su Lifeng was like a tiger among sheep. Every time he lunged in front of a Xenospecies, it meant that opponent was about to fall.
The female Xenospecies let out an angry snort, then secretly pounced down from above Su Lifeng’s head. Opening her mouth, she sprayed out a large cloud of gray smoke and dust.
Su Lifeng had been sprayed by that smoke once before, but at the time, all his attention had been focused on Zhang Huazhu. After being sprayed again now, he finally began to take notice of it.
Just coming into contact with the smoke made his eyes and skin burn, and breathing it into his lungs made it hard to catch his breath. Fortunately, with one beat of Su Lifeng’s Bone Wings, he could fan away more than half of it, so the effect on him was not too serious. But if she kept spraying like this, the room would soon become uninhabitable.
“You’re one of the High-class Xenospecies that were created too, aren’t you?” Su Lifeng did not rush to leave. He did not even rush to attack her. Instead, he spoke up and asked.
The female Xenospecies froze for a moment, then answered coldly, “Created? In the minds of you humans, isn’t life something that can’t be created? Of course I was reproduced.”
“If that’s how you like to put it, fine. Then, did your evolution go smoothly? Any side effects?” Su Lifeng asked again.
The female Xenospecies immediately frowned. As for this one from the Mutants, she only wanted to kill him as quickly as possible, because he had killed Zhang Huazhu, who had been extremely useful to them, and his timing had been so maddeningly precise. If he had arrived just a little later, they would at least have obtained part of the name list.
But in this room filled with smoke, since Su Lifeng was willing to waste time here of his own accord, the female Xenospecies naturally would not refuse. The problem was, what kind of questions was he asking? Was he concerned about her individual condition? This was not some human social activity called a blind date…
“My evolution went very well,” the female Xenospecies finally said.
A satisfied smile immediately appeared on Su Lifeng’s face, and a trace of excitement even flashed in his eyes as he looked at the female Xenospecies. “I see. Good. Very good…”
An inexplicable unease rose in the female Xenospecies’s heart. Facing Su Lifeng, whose evolutionary level was clearly higher than her own, she had not been afraid at first. Death meant little to the Xenospecies. As one of the Soldier Types, she lived to fight for the evolution of the Wisdom Species. But now, she suddenly felt fear, and she could not help glancing toward the doorway not far away.
“You’ll do!” Yet at that very moment, as if Su Lifeng had seen through her intentions, he suddenly shot forward. In the next instant, he was blocking the female Xenospecies’s path.
“Then I’ll shed this skin myself,” the female Xenospecies decided at once. If she shed her skin in a place like this, with no new skin to choose from, she would inevitably still face the outcome of being killed and absorbed by Su Lifeng. But that ending was exactly what she wanted now.
But even that desperate idea was never given a chance to become reality. The instant Su Lifeng’s Bone Wings pierced the female Xenospecies, his arm was already raised. In the next moment, the scalpel sank with perfect accuracy into the back of her neck.
The blade went in shallowly, but it ended her ability to move on the spot. Her eyes widened as she watched her own body go limp and fall into Su Lifeng’s hands.
“Perfect. I still have a few questions, so I can ask you later.” No sooner had Su Lifeng spoken than his phone rang.
The moment he answered, Gouzi’s voice came through, trembling so badly it almost shook. He said only two words: “Run!”
Su Lifeng did not hesitate. Almost the instant he heard that, he grabbed the female Xenospecies and charged toward the glass window he had smashed earlier.
It looked only a few meters away, a distance Su Lifeng should have crossed in the blink of an eye at his current burst of speed. Yet for some reason, he still felt a life-or-death sense of danger. There was even a prickling pain at his back, as if death itself were following right on his heels.
No. If this kept up, he would die…
Darkness flashed before Su Lifeng’s eyes. It was a Precognitive Vision, but all it showed him was his own death.
That meant he was already terrifyingly close to dying!
Bang!
A muffled impact suddenly rang out inside the room. The next second, Su Lifeng flew backward with a stifled groan and tumbled out the window.
Just as he was about to hit the ground, Su Lifeng drove his Bone Wings into the wall. Sparks sprayed everywhere, and his falling speed finally slowed right before impact.
Su Lifeng staggered back onto the ground. The Bone Wings on his back had been completely warped out of shape, and with a wet cough, he spat out a mouthful of blood. But when he looked up, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He had survived… Which meant this time, he had probably left an even deeper impression on the other side.
At the critical moment, Su Lifeng had chosen to turn around and meet the attack head-on.
He did not die. Instead, he used the force of the opponent’s attack to send himself flying backward through the window during the brief instant she was blocked.
More importantly, this time he had not simply run away.
He had crossed blows with Ren Xiaoying.
“Sure enough, she’s already evolved. I’ve reached E-class, but there’s still a gap between us. Still, it isn’t the kind of gap where I die the moment we clash anymore,” Su Lifeng thought.
“Su-Ge, get in!” Just then, a sedan suddenly drove over from nearby. Gouzi hurriedly rolled down the window and shouted. The moment he saw the female Xenospecies Su Lifeng was carrying, his pupils shrank again. “Why’d you even snatch a monster on the way out?!”
At the same time Su Lifeng got into the car and left, a large mass of Black Thread surged out from the window he had fallen through, then slowly withdrew again.
Inside the room, which was almost packed full of Black Thread, a girl’s voice said in mild surprise, “He actually escaped alive… I thought he was dead for sure.”
Another voice said, “There is no need to care about the Wisdom Species. He is merely an insignificant person.”
“You’re getting better and better at imitating human speech, but I’m afraid you used the wrong words this time.” As the Black Thread slowly drew back, Ren Xiaoying’s figure appeared in the doorway. Her head was lowered as she looked at the large patch of severed Black Thread on the floor.
When she lifted her head, a faint cut slowly appeared on her cheek, then quickly vanished.
