Putting away the satellite phone, Lou Cheng examined the three corpses again, trying to find the source of their strangeness.
Among them, the One-eyed Man had been hit head-on by Universe Phantom. All that was left of him was charred black, and his original appearance couldn't be discerned. The molten and twisted metal might have come from his clothes, his pockets, or something else. As for the blond man, he was reduced to a pile of flesh and blood, making him easier to investigate than the other man who only had half his body left.
Pressing his thumb, Lou Cheng used the technique of Ice Spirit Holy Light to form a crystalline longsword. He stabbed it into the flesh and blood in front of him. He poked and stirred, cooperating with the senses of God Above My Head.
His mind was calm and clear. Suddenly, he discovered tiny, silver-white particles hidden in the corpses. They shone with a faint metallic glow and covered every inch of the flesh.
"Nanomachines?" Lou Cheng thought of what he had seen at the military base. He muttered to himself, half surprised and half guessing.
From there, he considered more possibilities.
Since the other party had this level of technology, the three enemies with numbers as code names might have other devices on them …
Perhaps their deaths would be detected in another way …
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lou Cheng surveyed his surroundings and retreated to the factory ruins twenty to thirty meters away. He hid behind a half-collapsed wall with reinforced steel protruding from it. He withdrew his Qi and blood, activated his secret technique, and leaned against the wall like an invisible person. Using the reflections of the shattered glass and the vision of God Above My Head, he monitored the battlefield.
He suspected that the people from the mysterious organization already knew about the incident here and would most likely come to investigate. Therefore, he didn't want his presence to cause the other party to retreat and cut off the clues.
In the information provided by the military, there was no mention of North Harbor Base!
If Ke Ke's grandparents arrived first, he would give them a heads-up and ask them to hide as well.
A few minutes later, Lou Cheng's heart skipped a beat. He felt the atmosphere around him become heavier.
He cautiously retracted his spirit and no longer looked down from above. Instead, he observed the entrance of the factory ruins through the broken glass.
After counting silently for a few seconds, he saw a blurry figure from the corner of his eyes. It was a figure wearing a green and white baseball uniform.
The man with the number "16" emblazoned on his back walked closer step by step in his high-top black combat boots. He stood in front of the few remaining pieces of the one-eyed man's body. Laser beams gathered in his eyes on his well-defined, deeply wrinkled but expressionless face.
Lou Cheng didn't wait any longer, in case there were more accidents. He concealed his breath and distorted the light around him. He took a step forward cautiously, intending to launch an attack.
However, just as he moved, the brown-haired man immediately turned sideways and faced the half-collapsed building.
What a strong sensing ability … It's like he's equipped with a radar … Lou Cheng narrowed his eyes, straightened his back, and walked out with an imposing manner.
Since he couldn't launch a surprise attack, then he would have to attack head-on!
The person with the number "16" on his back suddenly saw a young man in navy blue clothes appear from the darkness. His hands hung down naturally, and his eyes were dark and deep. His footsteps were neither too big nor too small, neither too light nor too heavy, as though he was stepping on his own heart.
One step, two steps. Number 16 felt his surroundings become more distant and blurry. He felt as though he had been forcefully pulled out of this world and was floating alone and helplessly in the boundless starry sky. His surroundings were as dark as a curtain, dotted with diamond-like stars. It was dreamy and grand, making all living things seem exceptionally small.
His opponent stood in the middle, his navy blue eyes deep and profound, as though he was a god who controlled the universe and looked down on all living things. Around him, a scarlet red halo first appeared, flying in an ellipse with the longest trajectory. Immediately after, a faint purple halo shone above his head, a golden halo hung behind his head, and a blazing white and light blue halo formed a circle, sometimes on the left and sometimes on the right.
It wasn't until the sense of danger hit him that Number 16 came to his senses. He realized that he was at a disadvantage in the mental battle and the exchange of auras. As a result, he missed the best opportunity to attack when his opponent wasn't ready.
He didn't have emotions, but that didn't mean he didn't rely on his mental strength or other methods.
His eyes unwavering, Number 16 raised his hands coldly and opened every pore on his palms. Pure and dazzling light gushed out.
The light gathered in an instant and blasted out with a boom. Like two long dragons crossing the darkness, they opened their mouths and swallowed the stars.
At the same time, Number 16 swung his waist and back, dodging to Lou Cheng's side with a bang. He lifted his thigh, hurriedly swung his knee, and shook his ankle. He forcefully kicked out a crescent-shaped blade light, silently slashing at his opponent.
He had completely displayed the strength of a Terror Grade expert!
In his eyes, Lou Cheng seemed to have anticipated this. With a simple sidestep, he dodged the laser cannons, causing them to fall into the ruins of the factory behind him. They pierced through layers of half-collapsed walls, causing the tottering buildings to collapse with a boom. With this as a backdrop, his opponent shook his right arm and turned it into an iron whip, ruthlessly lashing out at him. The blazing white, faint purple, and other fireballs danced and gathered, smashing down as well. He didn't care about the crescent.
A dark green light flashed in Number 16's eyes. He bent his waist and bounced to the side. As though there were springs under his feet, he flew higher and higher.
Seeing this, Lou Cheng abruptly stomped his feet into the ground. This caused his knees to straighten and his back to rotate rapidly. Like a spear, he pressed his tail and turned his whipping right arm into an upward swing, causing the gathered Five Flames to rise gradually. Attracted by the heavy Vairocana, the crescent moon distorted and collapsed. When it landed on Lou Cheng's body, it only managed to cut through the layer of crystalline ice.
The Five Flames shot out rapidly and chased after Number 16 into the air.
Rumble!
A huge blazing white fireball bloomed in the air, spraying flowing "magma" and brilliant "fireworks" in all directions. The intense light engulfed Number 16 in an instant, and the terrifying sound shattered the remaining glass on San Jose Street.
Strong winds swept and danced, sending sparks flying. Number 16's figure appeared high up in the air. His clothes were in tatters, his pants turned to ash, and his body was charred and dented.
If he hadn't used the beam shield at the last moment and teleported to avoid the core of the explosion, he would have been severely injured at the very least.
At this very moment, Number 16 was hovering in the air, showing no signs of descending.
One of his "abilities" was flight!
The flight of a Physical Invulnerability expert!
Lou Cheng had locked onto him and suppressed him mentally, so he couldn't immediately rise into the air. He was afraid that the slightest movement would cause him to be struck by lightning. He could only take the initiative to attack and create an opportunity. This way, he would be in a position where he had no chance of losing and could also exhaust his opponent's terrifying killer move. He didn't expect his opponent to control the Nine Rotations of Five Flames so well that he could change his move halfway.
Number 16 pressed his right hand against his left palm and extended it forward. A dark green light flashed in his eyes as he locked onto Lou Cheng's figure.
"Mortar. Modified!"
Boom!
A blazing white beam shot out from his left palm and blasted towards Lou Cheng on the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One after another, the blazing white beams shot out, covering the surrounding area as though they were plowing the ground.
Lou Cheng used the Mesmerizing Snow Steps and the All-Seeing God to change directions and avoid the "cannon fire". At the same time, he stirred up a strong wind to blow the blazing white beams off their tracks.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Rumble rumble rumble! While Lou Cheng was dodging, he wasn't idling either. Occasionally, he would flick his fingers and shoot out beams of cold light into the air. Other times, he would quickly condense crimson fireballs to bombard his opponent.
Number 16 was like a fighter jet, either soaring, circling, or coming to a sudden stop to avoid his opponent's counterattack.
The two were in a deadlock for a while. Suddenly, Number 16 condensed a laser beam and shot it from the device in his eyes towards Lou Cheng at lightning speed!
However, Lou Cheng already had a premonition of danger. Before the laser beam was released, he shifted his position and allowed the two beams of green light to shoot into the ground, leaving deep holes.
Number 16 knew that the commotion just now would attract attention. Seeing that he couldn't take down his opponent in a hurry, he decided to retreat and flew out of the ruins of the factory.
Without the "suppression" of the cannon fire, Lou Cheng glanced at the half-broken pillar in the ruins. He wanted to use the momentum to soar into the air and use the Formation Formula to keep his opponent here.
At that moment, Number 16 saw a middle-aged woman with a long sword in her hand. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she looked graceful as she approached him.
Immediately after, a "meteor" streaked across the sky, illuminating the darkness. With a long tail of light, it smashed into his body and filled his vision.
A strong suction force came from it and slowed down Number 16's sudden stop and change of direction.
Bam! Lou Cheng ran at high speed and jumped up. Kicking off the top of the half-broken pillar, he leaped into the air and formed a hand seal.
"Formation!"
