Chapter 179 – I Didn’t Die Before, and I Won’t Die Today!

“Aaaah!!!”

The Xenospecies’ scream echoed through the entire plaza, chilling everyone who heard it.

Su Lifeng lay stiff on the ground for two seconds, then suddenly coughed twice and struggled to climb up.

When he landed, he had already used his Bone Wings to cushion himself, but that force had been far too strong. Although he had not directly suffered the damage of the collision, his whole body, from skin to internal organs, still felt as if it had been injured by a shock spreading from the outside inward.

His left arm especially, at the instant he collided with this E-class Xenospecies, had felt as if it were about to break.

“A little better than expected, but plenty of my finger bones are fractured.” Su Lifeng only sensed it briefly and knew the state of his injuries. “Quite a few vessels in my Bone Wings are broken, but they can still be used. At most, they’ll hurt a little. In addition, my organs are definitely damaged too. My lungs hurt when I cough…”

But under the effect of his self-healing ability, these injuries did not count for much. To exchange such a small price for a direct frontal blow against this E-class Xenospecies, Su Lifeng felt it was worth it!

It could be said that he had gained a much clearer understanding of energy. Most importantly, in the face of immense fear, he had not retreated. Not even half a step. Instead, he had advanced head-on and endured it from the front!

Listening to the Xenospecies’ screams, the hot blood inside Su Lifeng boiled even more. During this period, Su Lifeng had always been facing enemies weaker than himself. What he lacked was exactly one exhilarating fight against a powerful foe.

The parts that had not yet been fully absorbed and digested by him also slowly transformed into energy at this moment.

Amid its shrieks, the Xenospecies suddenly swung one “intestine” and tore off its own human face alive.

That area instantly became a bloody mess, while the part it threw away had already become a completely dry sheet of skin.

In intense pain, the Xenospecies suddenly stuffed one “intestine” into its own mouth. As chewing sounds rang out, growls continuously came from its throat, while the sense of danger it gave Su Lifeng climbed step by step.

“It improved?” Su Lifeng was somewhat stunned. This was the first time he had seen such a situation.

Just as he wanted to rush up, the Xenospecies’ head suddenly lifted from the ground, and it let out a roar that shook the sky.

After the sense of danger climbed to a certain point, it suddenly erupted!

“Ah… ah…” The group of survivors almost simultaneously felt their legs soften and nearly collapsed outright. By now, they had no attention left to marvel. Their first reaction was to flee! But when they wanted to leave, they discovered that the feeling the Xenospecies gave off was simply too terrifying. It was like suddenly facing a great tiger on the road. The other party merely had to stare at them with predatory eyes, and it was enough to make them not dare move recklessly!

That was exactly their state right now. Although they wanted to run, they could not summon the courage at all, nor did they have the strength!

The shock in Su Lifeng’s heart was even stronger than theirs.

It was about to evolve. This Xenospecies was about to evolve from E-class to an even higher level!

The intense sense of life-and-death crisis made Su Lifeng feel as if every hair on his body had exploded upright. He could not help thinking that Liuyue really had screwed him over!

But at the same time, an indescribable excitement also surged up from the bottom of Su Lifeng’s heart and spread through every pore on his body.

“Time stop.”

Su Lifeng suddenly leaped up. The Exoskeleton appeared over his left hand once again, and he smashed it viciously onto the top of the Xenospecies’ head.

Then his Bone Wings beat, dodging an incoming “intestine.” He landed once more on the Xenospecies’ head.

Bang! Another punch!

Whoosh!

Another “intestine” swept over. Its mouthparts opened from above, as if it meant to swallow Su Lifeng in one bite.

“Time stop.” Su Lifeng’s vision was already blurring, but he still narrowly dodged this “intestine” and threw another punch.

“Roar!” This Xenospecies repeatedly dug away the parts Su Lifeng had attacked. It waved its tails furiously, ramming back and forth as its “intestines” danced wildly, all in an attempt to throw Su Lifeng off.

Another time stop… Su Lifeng stabbed the bone spear fiercely into the Xenospecies’ body, then smashed his fist down toward the Xenospecies’ eyeball, and he smashed it down several times in succession.

“Bang!”

An “intestine” swept over. Su Lifeng dodged one step too slowly and was flung out violently, smashing into the ground again.

“I’m still not at my limit. My blood is still burning…” The moment Su Lifeng landed, he climbed up again. He swayed as he steadied himself, then suddenly turned sideways to let an “intestine” smash down past him. Amid flying ceramic fragments, he rushed toward the Xenospecies.

“That guy is insane…” Among the survivors, the middle-aged man was dumbstruck. If it were him, he would probably already be standing there waiting to die. Against a monster like this, was there even any room to resist?

But this person was not only resisting. He was even taking the initiative to attack, throwing his life away again and again!

Yet he did not know whether it was an illusion, but he vaguely felt that this person’s momentum seemed to be rising continuously with each forward charge.

“It must be an illusion. No matter how strong a Mutant is, can he really compare to a Xenospecies?” the man thought. But after carefully sensing it, he really did feel that the figure was becoming more and more frightening!

He had clearly been smashed away many times already and was covered in blood, yet every time he stood up, the feeling he gave off became a little more terrifying.

Gradually, he too began to feel that sensation that made his legs go weak!

Only at this moment did the survivors suddenly discover that they had only been paying attention to Su Lifeng, and had failed to notice that under this figure’s reckless charges again and again, the Xenospecies’ entire body had also become a bloody mess!

“Just a little more…” Su Lifeng’s thoughts were almost blurred now. With his eyes bloodshot, the only target left in his vision was this Xenospecies.

Time stop could no longer be used, and his Bone Wings had completely broken apart.

His left arm was mangled. The Exoskeleton had shattered and appeared again, until in the end, it could no longer emerge.

But Su Lifeng’s arm trembled. After his fingers moved slightly, he took another deep breath.

He felt the heat throughout his entire body surging toward his left hand. The more that heat gathered, the colder his body became, as if he were seeing a ball of flame in a world of ice and snow, and his entire body was supported by the thought of crawling toward that flame.

“One more punch. One more… Su Lifeng, you still haven’t reached your limit…”

Only by becoming stronger could he keep Su Lian and the others from being hurt.

The words Lv Zifeng had once said echoed in his mind now. Some things, once obtained, had to be protected with the corresponding strength!

Xenospecies, environmental changes, the collapse of human society. These were all disasters capable of destroying everything.

But I didn’t die before, and I won’t die today!

Crack!

A bit of Exoskeleton surfaced on Su Lifeng’s constantly bleeding left hand!
