Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Challenging All Humanity
Young people are always more amiable. In a short time, Lin Shen became acquainted with the other few brothers in hardship.
According to them, the daily run was just routine, the easiest of all activities and not considered real training. The truly grueling training was yet to come.
After running for a while, they suddenly saw images appearing in the sky, knowing that the live broadcast from Realm King Planet had started again.
This time, the number of Mutators entering the Realm King Planet was much smaller, but each of them was skilled, and the vast majority were at the Crystal Base Level. Moreover, they were mostly moving in groups.
Since the Ultra-Burning Corps was severely damaged by Lin Shen and his team last time, there seemed to be little activity from them lately.
However, the residual strength of the Ultra-Burning Corps was still not to be underestimated, so the human Mutators remained very cautious, generally engaging in group combat and rarely acting alone.
As Lin Shen ran, he watched the images in the sky and did not spot Bai Shenfei or Ouyang Yudu among them.
It was normal for Bai Shenfei to return to Sea Corn Base and not participate, but Lin Shen had no idea why Ouyang Yudu wasn’t there.
Finally having an opportunity to watch the excitement, and since running was indeed quite dull, Lin Shen was finding the viewing very interesting when he suddenly noticed that something was amiss with Mo Shengqi’s image.
Mo Shengqi was leading the Mutators from Sea Corn Base in hunting a group of Alloy Creatures when an Ultra-Burn Warrior riding a Big Red Bull approached from a distance.
Mo Shengqi quickly alerted his teammates to guard against the newcomer and let the surrounded Alloy Creatures escape.
What surprised them was that the Ultra-Burn Warrior was approaching alone, attired in red clothes and a red helmet—likely a deputy corps leader.
Since the corps leader had been killed by Lin Shen’s pet, they subconsciously assumed that this Ultra-Burn Warrior was one of the deputy corps leaders that had previously fled.
Although the strength of a deputy corps leader was formidable, Mo Shengqi and his peers were all at Crystal Base Level and naturally had no fear of him.
In human eyes, all members of the Ultra-Burn Tribe looked similar. Moreover, with their Battle Clothes and helmets, it was difficult to differentiate one from another.
The Ultra-Burn Tribe saw humans in much the same way, distinguishable only by their Base Mutation Carapaces.
When enemies met, there wasn’t much need for words. Mo Shengqi and the others immediately engaged in Base Mutation and surrounded the Ultra-Burn Warrior with their pets.
Not knowing why the Ultra-Burn Warrior was alone, but with no reasoning needed between the Ultra-Burn Tribe and humans who were in a life-or-death struggle, there was no need for talk of righteousness.
At Mo Shengqi’s command, the Mutators allowed their pets to launch an attack on him.
“That Ultra-Burn Tribe member is really unlucky to have ended up alone,” said Ling Luo, a senior brother, while running and speaking breathlessly.
“Mo Shengqi’s strength is pretty good. He alone should be more than enough to deal with the deputy corps leader, so why all the trouble?” another senior brother, He Fang, commented.
The group was discussing when they suddenly stopped, their facial expressions turning to astonishment.
Lin Shen also stopped running and watched the images from Mo Shengqi’s location.
A dozen Crystal Base pets attacked the Ultra-Burn Warrior, but he did not even use his Base Mutation Carapace, knocking over several of the Crystal Base pets with clean, powerful punches that smashed them to the ground.
The force of his fists was terrifying. Each punch landed on a Crystal Base pet’s body, causing them to burst apart and explode.
“That Ultra-Burn Warrior seems very strong, doesn’t he? Mo Shengqi and his team might be in danger,” Ling Luo said, staring blankly.
The others frowned as they watched the images, none of them speaking.
Mo Shengqi and the others were all taken aback, hurriedly brandishing their weapons as they surrounded the Ultra-Burn Warrior.
Bang!
Facing the Crystal Base material weapon that was slashing towards him, the Ultra-Burn Warrior didn’t dodge or avoid it and instead, punched directly at the blade, shattering it into pieces.
More than a dozen Mutators, along with so many pets attacking the Ultra-Burn Warrior, not only failed to gain the upper hand but were also beaten into a disorganized retreat.
“Retreat,” Mo Shengqi immediately issued the command to pull back, while he himself faced the Ultra-Burn Warrior.
His movement technique and swordsmanship were both impossibly tricky, and he didn’t need to engage in a brute force contest with the Ultra-Burn Warrior. No matter how strong the Ultra-Burn Warrior’s strength was, he wasn’t afraid.
Mo Shengqi’s longsword danced in his hand, and his body moved rapidly like a ghost, leaving behind afterimages. His sword shadows were like a torrential downpour of blades, for a moment making it impossible to discern which were real and which were illusions.
“Mo Shengqi’s swordsmanship has become more and more unpredictable. It seems that after the battle at Sky Star Slope, his growth has been significant,” He Fang exclaimed admiringly.
“No matter how strong the Minotaur’s strength is, in front of Mo Shengqi’s tricky movement technique, it’s of no use. Now there’s a good show to watch,” Ling Luo also said.
While everyone was admiring Mo Shengqi’s movement technique and swordsmanship, the Ultra-Burn Warrior who had been sitting motionless on the back of Big Red Bull finally moved.
The next second, to everyone’s horror, all the sword shadows and afterimages vanished, and Mo Shengqi’s true form appeared in front of the Ultra-Burn Warrior, with his longsword, astonishingly, being grasped by one hand of the Ultra-Burn Warrior on the blade itself.
Mo Shengqi forcefully tried to withdraw his sword but only felt like it was welded in place, not budging at all.
“Snap!”
With a minor movement of his palm, the Ultra-Burn Warrior broke Mo Shengqi’s longsword, then flung the broken blade, which pierced through Mo Shengqi’s shoulder, giving him no chance to dodge.
Everyone was shocked, as Mo Shengqi was among the top figures of Human Mutators, with only few others like Ouyang Yudu and Bai Shenfei who could be considered stronger.
But in front of this Ultra-Burn Warrior, he was beaten without the power to fight back; this was too terrifying.
“Go back and tell your brethren that I, Qing Jia, on behalf of the Ultra-Burn Tribe here, challenge all the powerful Humans. Do they dare to come?” Qing Jia looked down arrogantly at Mo Shengqi and the others, as if Humans were no more than pets on the ground.
“Damn, this Qing Jia is too arrogant.”
“If Ouyang Yudu and War God Wei were here, they’d kill him straight away and we’d see if he could still be so arrogant.”
“There’s no need for Ouyang Yudu and War God Wei to act. Tian’s pet could kill him.”
“Can the Ultra-Burn Tribe really talk such a big game?”
“Too arrogant, I can’t stand it anymore. Someone strong needs to come and kill him.”
“…”
The crowd was seething with anger, but among the Mutators present, none were a match for Qing Jia, and their inner fury was to no avail as they silently retreated.
“That Ultra-Burn creature is indeed very strong, with both speed and strength at the top Mutator level; the toughness and durability of its body are out of the ordinary…” He Fang analyzed quietly.
“Mo Shengqi’s movement technique and swordsmanship are both strong, but he leans towards skill-based combat, and his direct combat ability is somewhat lacking. It’s inevitable that he is at a disadvantage against someone who could see through his move and swordsmanship. However, that Ultra-Burn Warrior being able to instantly discern his feints from reality is not simple, to say the least,” Ling Luo also said.
