Chapter 352 - The Realm Ambusher (1/2)

“Demon Subduing Slash!”

Meng Chao used his hand as a knife. His entire arm was covered in profound and complicated spirit tattoos. Spirit energy burst out of them and formed a saber glare that was almost four meters long. Then, like a shining pole that subjugated demons, it came swinging down at the Lightning Python.

Boom!

The Lightning Python was only barely able to dodge it, and a deep trench was left behind on the ground.

Meng Chao did not stop to catch his breath. The second saber glare started surging at his fingertips while he chased after the Lightning Python like a shadow.

In an instant, the Lightning Python was surrounded by dozens of saber glares.

The greatest advantage of the Ultimate Style was its insanely great endurance.

Once someone was held back by an Ultimate Style practitioner, as long as no accident occured, monsters of the same level as the practitioner would have a hard time breaking free.

Meng Chao also managed to figure out the Lightning Python’s rhythm when it fired the plasma. It happened in a short time.

There were a few times when he intentionally slowed down and pretended that his strength had run out to lure the Lightning Python into counterattacking.

The moment before it fired the plasma, the saber glare at Meng Chao’s fingertips would instantly become much brighter and go to cut the area seven inches below its head, which forced it to swallow the plasma.

The Lightning Python ended up frying itself to the point that it was dizzy.

Wisps of white smoke came out of the gaps between its scales.

It hissed while flinging its tail, which left intersecting cracks on the cooling tower.

Meng Chao remained as calm as ever. In fact, he did not even need Lu Siya’s help. He flicked a small saber glare forward to cut at the Lightning Python, which made it lose its bearings.

Suddenly, Meng Chao pulled back and jumped backwards lightly to widen the distance between him and the Lightning Python.

The Lightning Python finally had the chance to catch its breath and counterattack. It was ecstatic and opened its mouth to charge up an unprecedented ball of plasma in its throat.

“Careful!”

The superhumans who rushed over cried out in surprise.

But it was too late.

Sizzle! Crackle!

The Lightning Python fired the plasma at Meng Chao’s face.

He ignored it and did not even bother dodging.

Something unbelievable happened.

The moment the plasma left its mouth, it split into hundreds of electrical arcs that surrounded the Lightning Python and electrocuted it to the point that it started foaming at the mouth. Its scales curled up, and its flesh was burnt black. Its eyes turned bloodshot. The tumor that could control minds shriveled up and hung low on its head.

The Lightning Python curled up into a ball while it spasmed. Its flesh was torn, and it stopped moving.

The superhumans rushed forward and quickly bound the Lightning Python. Then, they injected more than ten high-density anesthetics into its body before they gave Meng Chao puzzled looks.

Meng Chao went forward and knelt down on one knee before he carefully extracted four thin silver needles from near the Lightning Python’s head.

He had stabbed those needles when it lost its bearings after Meng Chao attacked it with the Demon Subduing Pole. With them, he cut off some of the connection between its brain and central nervous system.

The Lightning Python not only lost part of its mobility because of it, but was also no longer immune to its plasma attack.

It might seem like a magic trick, but it was built on Meng Chao’s deep knowledge of monsters and a harvesting foundation that was much greater and more in-depth than that of the average person.

This was a skill unique to veteran harvesters.

The factory protection members around them and the operations members from the abnormal beast research department looked at each other at a loss. They could see great shock in each other’s eyes.

In truth, Meng Chao was quite famous. When they met up at the power plant, many people recognized him.

However, in the eyes of the high level engineers and operations members who had been through hundreds of battles and all of whom happened to be in their forties or fifties, no matter how powerful Meng Chao was, he was just a young man in his early twenties. He had not even graduated from university yet. At most, he was only outstanding among his peers.

To them, Meng Chao joining the operation to defend the power plant was really just him widening his horizons and gathering more fighting experience.

They did not expect that Meng Chao would be able to instantly locate the commander of the monsters.

And before the main force arrived, he managed to subjugate the highly-intelligent monster.

Capturing a monster alive was ten times more difficult than killing a monster. All superhumans knew this fact very well.

When they looked at Meng Chao, their gazes filled with admiration and puzzlement.

Meng Chao smiled.

He clenched his fist, which was burning because he had used Demon Subduing Slash too many times. He felt like he was holding a piece of steel that had reached melting point.

When a person became a three-star superhuman, the increase of spirit energy circulation, maximum release value, changes in the organs, and the increase of the basic functions of the body… were secondary.

The most crucial thing was that since 70% of Meng Chao’s body had crystallized and he had learned brand new spirit energy magnetic fields from his tutor and the mysterious elite, he could use a lot of different strategies to fight. He could also use the experiences from fighting in his previous life to execute strategies that were deviant, had a lot of variations, and were far more advanced compared to the current era.

‘We’re both three-star superhumans, but if I compare our fighting strength, my current self should have far surpassed Qin Hu while he was still under Raging Waves, because I’m a three-star superhuman who came from decades later. I should have also surpassed all the three-star superhumans in Dragon City, right?’

As he sensed strength crashing into his muscles, nerves, and bones like endless waves, Meng Chao felt indescribable pleasure. ‘Now that I’ve protected the garbage power plant, the defense system in hundreds of residential areas in the north of the city should encounter no problems. I’ve changed the future again, so that means I contributed quite a lot for Dragon City. I wonder how many contribution points I’ll get.’

He blinked for a long time, but he saw no contribution points popping up at the corner of his eyes.

‘Uhm?’

Meng Chao suddenly had a bad feeling.

Usually, when this sort of thing happened, it meant that the quest had not ended yet. The enemy had yet to be completely destroyed, so it was not the time for Kindling to conclude his points.
