Chapter 320 - Supernatural Entity Plan (1/2)

Meng Chao yelped. His muscle fibers suddenly bounced back, as if they were springs wound up too tightly. He tumbled back, barely avoiding the area where the collapse was the worst.

Even so, he ended up with dirt all over his face and was nearly buried alive.

He stared ahead in shock. Gao Ye’s hiding place was now completely buried by earth and stones.

Gao Ye had turned into the Ultimate Sandworm so he did not need to be afraid of being swallowed up by earth.

The abnormal monster research department elites brought by Lu Siya, however, suffered from it.

Meng Chao shut his eyes as he sensed the powerful spirit energy ripples coming from the soil. They crashed against each other like waves and let out dull booms as if a series of small earthquakes happened one after another.

He used the two chain sabers to dig the earth, but he could not reach the battlefield.

Suddenly, a powerful spirit energy ripple struck him like an impact wave. The earth in front of Meng Chao turned into gravel and created a long and narrow tunnel.

At the end of the tunnel was Lu Siya. She was on one knee with two fingers pressed at the center of her forehead. Her right hand was pressed tightly against the ground. Spirit tattoos flashed all over her. They started at the center of her brows, went to her temples, then ran straight to her long and thin neck before traveling down her arms. The spirit energy eventually surged into the ground like a winding stream.

Lu Siya was using the skill of mine explorers to change the structure of stone. She turned some parts of the area into gravel, which created a large fighting space, while the other parts turned as stiff as metal to prevent Gao Ye from running away.

But even after she had been baptized by the Red Radiance Jade mine and could store a much larger amount of spirit energy than before, which allowed her to release a large spirit energy magnetic field, the action wasted most of her energy. She was as pale as a ghost and swayed on her feet.

A man was in the underground space she opened up ahead of her. He had silver hair and was levitating in the air, but it was hard to tell his age.

He was not tall nor very built. His innate baby face made it easy for others to mistake him for a high school student, but the fine, winding wrinkles at the corners of his eyes gave him maturity.

He held a long and narrow saber that looked like a drying rack, though there was a slight curve to it. If he held it vertically, it might be taller than him. He looked like a child swinging a saber, which made others unable to help but smile at the sight.

Meng Chao did not smile.

He could sense an incredibly dangerous presence coming out of the silver-haired man. It was a powerful killing intent that did not lose to that of Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu.

The man with the baby face, silver hair, and who looked like a child swinging a saber was definitely not an average Heaven Realm elite.

Rows of profound and complicated spirit tattoos shone on the drying-rack-like saber.

He swung the saber as quickly as lightning. Rows of thin and long silver threads appeared in the air as if they were cracks created by a weapon traveling at supersonic speed. They lingered in the air and did not disappear even after a long time had passed.

One, two, three, four… The lines left by the saber increased in number. They also grew denser. As they intersected with each other, they slowly formed an exquisite cage.

When the ninety-ninth silver gash was left in the air, the first silver gash had yet to disappear.

Gao Ye had wanted to run away while the stones and earth collapsed, but he did not know that there was someone skilled in controlling stones among the reinforcements Meng Chao summoned.

He ended up crashing against the iron wall fortified by Lu Siya, and blood flowed down his head.

He wanted to change his direction, but it was already too late. A large number of silver glares rose from the silver-haired man’s saber and enveloped him in an airtight cage.

Gao Ye pushed and shoved about inside it. Every time he ran into a silver gash, it was as if he had been cut by a saber, and a terrifying wound appeared on his body.

No matter how sturdy the Ultimate Sandworm was, it was still just born. When it faced the spirit energy magnetic field created by a powerful fighter at the peak of Heaven Realm, it needed to retreat.

The silver-haired man smirked when he saw Gao Ye’s struggle. He mumbled under his breath, and the net created by the intersecting silver slashes started closing in.

Gao Ye sucked in a deep breath. His body had been big to begin with, and now, it swelled up further. His black skin turned crimson.

“Careful!”

Meng Chao had fought against a super Giant Sandworm under Trash Site 4 and knew that this sort of mutated monster would have all sorts of strange skills.

He instinctively charged forward and pushed Lu Siya to the ground. Then, he wrapped his left arm around his head while he pressed his right arm over Lu Siya’s head.

The silver-haired man snorted coldly, and the speed at which the silver glares closed in became faster.

When nearly one hundred saber glares were about to tear Gao Ye into shreds, his back half swelled up to the max and exploded.

It was similar to how a whale, which usually lives in the ocean, may explode after being washed up on the beach. It did so because its skin was too thick, and the gases from its rotting organs could not leave its body.

The impact wave sent the silver-haired man and all the other people straight into the stone walls. Their bones shattered, and they could not move.

The foul-smelling innards of the Ultimate Sandworm turned the entire underground space into a mess.

The monster had a lot of acid, which it used to digest trash, stones, and earth. The acid was the crystallization of humanity’s biochemical modification technology. It could easily get rid of most of the trash that could not be degraded by nature. It could also dissolve the sturdiest stones.

If it came gushing out, it would be wet and sticky, and the place would end up as an acid lake.

Meng Chao and the others managed to activate their spirit energy in time and got rid of the acid that stained their bodies, but they no longer had the strength to catch what remained of Gao Ye’s body.

It took them five minutes to find their bearings after the fearsome biochemical explosion.

Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked at the messy ground. They carefully bypassed the acid and reached the battlefield, where they found the silver-haired man with his fighting suit in tatters. He stood at a huge hole that went down without saying anything.
