From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 230 - 188 Abyss Meat Tumor
"Kill him!"
Alex Austin's eyes flashed with a murderous intent upon hearing Lu Heng's speculation, and he suddenly commanded his team members.
Bang!
American gunman Harris immediately opened fire with a sneak attack.
The bullet shot out, flying towards Lu Heng's forehead.
In that instant, Lu Heng activated his Bullet Time skill, saw the bullet coming straight for him, then reached out and caught the bullet in his hand.
"Let's move!"
"I'll take on the mechanical units!" Yuan Yaoyao, following the prompts from her light computer, declared her target and piloted the Black Feather Spirit into action, coordinating with the White Feather Spirit for a pincer attack on the enemy's mechanical units from both sides.
As they struck, both Mechanical Angels fired electromagnetic interference bombs simultaneously.
Boom!
The electromagnetic interference bombs were intercepted by laser fire midway and exploded on impact.
However, they still released electromagnetic interference signals, enveloping most of the enemy's mechanical units.
More than half of the mechanical guards and drones experienced signal disruption.
Taking advantage of the electromagnetic interference, the two Mechanical Angels launched fierce attacks on the mechanical guards and drones.
With the Black Feather Spirit's track record of thousands of drone kills, Yaoyao's attack on the mechanical units was nothing short of a crushing defeat.
Boom!
One by one, mechanical guards exploded.
Alex Austin's gaze darkened and he immediately surged forward to intercept the Black Feather Spirit, "Seeking death!"
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Five days ago, the Black Feather Spirit had been defeated by him and had Lu Heng not intervened, he would have crushed it completely.
Therefore, he planned to repeat the feat and take out the Black Feather Spirit in seconds.
However, this time there were two Mechanical Angels.
Lu Heng quickly assessed the situation, contemplating whether to intercept Alex Austin to relieve Yaoyao.
Based on their last fight, the Black Feather Spirit could withstand Alex Austin for seven or eight rounds.
Now with the White Feather Spirit to assist, the situation should be much better.
Time was running short, and they needed to make a fast decision.
Therefore, Lu Heng made a decisive decision, ordered the Mechanical Tiger Anka to assist the Black Feather Spirit, and then dashed towards the rest of the American team:
"Give you three seconds to come and defend me; otherwise, your teammates are done for."
Alex Austin, full of arrogance, scoffed, "You think you're worthy? Quist, stop him!"
The strong African American team member immediately swelled in size, becoming a two-and-a-half-meter giant covered in rock, charging at Lu Heng.
Seeing the Stone Giant rush forward, Lu Heng avoided a head-on collision.
Because he recognized the size increase, he identified this African American named Quist as a Stone Giant, a class among the Second Transition sequence known for its top-tier defense.
Even if he could take him down, it would take a lot of time.
In a team fight, with other targets available, focusing on a tank was somewhat foolish.
So, Lu Heng swiftly sidestepped Quist's tackle and targeted the African American woman instead.
"Seeking death, monkey," the African American woman cursed as her body began to change, her hands sprouting sharp beast claws, transforming into a leopard half-beast man, pouncing on Lu Heng with a swipe of her claws.
Lu Heng saw her as a brainless beast and swung his sword in a Moon-cutting Style, showcasing the force of his dual special-effect Class A weapons, slicing through her beast claws, severing half her forearm.
"Ah!"
The African American woman screamed in agony, turned to flee, and hysterically screamed curses: "Damn it! Are you even a man? You hurt me, you're not a gentleman at all!"
After her transformation into a leopard half-beast person, she was incredibly quick, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
But she wasn't faster than Lu Heng.
"The most gentlemanly thing I can do is to give you a quick end," Lu Heng continued his pursuit.
The African American woman shouted loudly, "Quist, are you dead? Stop him!"
Stone Giant Quist stretched out his rocky arm, which extended to form a stone pillar and grabbed Lu Heng's waist and abdomen.
The African American woman thought she had escaped to a safe distance and that Lu Heng had been caught by his teammate. Pulling out her laser gun, she tried to counterattack.
Lu Heng, caught by the Stone Giant, didn't struggle; he instead began to charge up. Then, at the moment the laser gun fired, he used Shadow Traversal, slipping into the shadows to avoid the laser and also shaking off the grip of the stone arm.
As his charge completed, Lu Heng shot out like lightning.
Boom!
With a sonic boom, Lu Heng broke the sound barrier, creating a Sonic Boom Cloud around him.
At a speed of 396 meters per second, Lu Heng charged at the African American woman and stabbed her with his sword.
Pff!
The blade pierced her throat and exited the back of her neck, killing her instantly.
After killing the African American woman, Lu Heng charged up on the spot again.
Alex Austin saw one member of his team killed, and he was entangled by two Mechanical Angels and a Mechanical Tiger, unable to make a kill.
He turned back angrily and roared, "Quist, what the hell are you doing? Stop him!"
Quist angrily retorted, "I did stop him! You can't beat him yourself, what makes you think I can? Why don't you make me the team leader and let the boss give all the resources to me? Then you'd be out of the picture!"
All the while, he charged at Lu Heng with a furious howl, angered over the loss of the African American woman he had a thing with.
He roared louder, and his body grew even bigger until he turned into a huge rock shackle, trying to confine Lu Heng.
Lu Heng ignored him completely, finished charging, and instantly entered the second phase of Shadow Travel state, bursting out once more as a dark purple streak of lightning.
His target this time was Heavy Gunner Kalim.
Kalim was the American team's heavy gunner, lacking much defensive capability. He only felt a blur before him when a blue translucent blade stabbed into his chest.
"FUCK!"
Kaleem's eyes bulged, and he cursed as he recklessly pulled the trigger without any standards at the moment of impending death.
Whoosh!
An RPG rocket flew out, headed for the hemispherical building.
Bang!
The rocket exploded, blasting a large hole in the wall of the hemispherical building.
A breath of the Abyss surged out from the hole.
But no terrifying demons rushed out.
Now, in the heat of battle, no one could afford to be distracted by what was below the sixth floor.
Lu Heng unleashed two consecutive moves, taking out two members of the American team in seconds.
"Damn it! You bunch of trash."
Alex Austin, realizing the heavy gunner was also dead, showed utter fury on his face as he charged up to Lu Heng and berated him, "You damn monkey!"
Lu Heng pulled up the corners of his mouth and said, "I told you, you had three seconds to come defend against me."
Alex Austin narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his head to look at the other two members of Lu Heng's team, shouting angrily, "Then I'll just kill off your teammates as well!"
He rushed straight for Su Muyu and raised the Thunder Hammer to smash it down, sending out circles of frenzied thunder.
Su Muyu spread her energy wings and flew up, looping around with him; whenever he caught up, she would control the divine feather eagle to intercept.
Alex Austin kept pursuing Su Muyu, crashing into various defense skills and trap skills.
Dark Thorn Traps, Prism Force Fields, skill after skill collided with him.
Although his overwhelming strength allowed him to forcefully break through these traps and defense skills, each one delayed him.
Just as he was about to catch up with Su Muyu, she suddenly vanished from his sight.
Su Muyu said through the communicator, "I can't beat him, but I can drag this out for half an hour."
If it were a straightforward confrontation, Su Muyu had no chance against Alex Austin.
However, battle wasn't just about a simple head-on collision.
Su Muyu's six-skill strength came into play, with a plethora of tactics available – she could fly, become invisible, block bullets, set traps, and even had her divine feather eagle to intercept.
Even her energy wings could defend, and her flight speed was very fast.
Alex Austin seemed to be toyed with, as Su Muyu led him on a chase around the entire field.
Seeing that she could hold back Alex Austin, Lu Heng couldn't help but smile knowingly and said, "If you feel the pressure, run behind me."
"Okay," Su Muyu replied, leading Alex Austin toward Lu Heng.
As Alex Austin followed Su Muyu, he ran smack into Lu Heng's sword, the two colliding with a move and both being shaken back three meters.
Elsewhere,
Lin Zeyu and the American sniper were shooting at each other, both hiding behind cover, dreading to show their heads.
He saw that the Black woman and heavy gunner Kaleem killed by Lu Heng had both dropped source material; he hurriedly called out over the communications channel, "Mu Yu, Lady Su, help me out, source material, two pieces of source material."
Su Muyu, now with her hands free, controlled the divine feather eagle to fly over, grasped the two pieces of source material, and dropped them beside Lin Zeyu.
Lin Zeyu immediately absorbed the source material.
The American team had a considerable amount of source material, and after absorbing two pieces, his Source Quality Fusion instantly reached 100%, granting him the complete Class of a Demon Hunter.
Then, using the full abilities of a Demon Hunter, he marked the target; even through the cover, he could see the red outline of the target's body.
He could even see the position of the marked target with his eyes closed.
He tossed out a Source Energy Shock Bomb, suppressing Harris's field of vision, then rolled out, closed his eyes to find the shooting angle, aimed at Harris behind the cover, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A headshot.
Just as the fight was reaching its most intense, Su Muyu suddenly noticed something wrong; the divine feather eagle flew over the hole in the hemispherical wall, spotting the situation inside.
She quickly yelled, "Lu Heng, down there... down there... it's terrifying, something is squirming."
As soon as her voice fell, the squirming thing below the sixth floor had already surged out of the hole.
Lu Heng turned his head to look and his face instantly showed a look of shock.
What emerged was a mass of giant meat tumors moving as if they were mountains of flesh, spilling out from the hole and spreading in all directions.
Tentacles extended from the meat tumors, attacking all living creatures within range.
With one glance, Lu Heng recognized them—it was an "Abyss Meat Tumor."
An Abyss Meat Tumor wasn't just a single lump, but a horrifying entity that could grow indefinitely.
As long as there was enough material for it to feed on, an Abyss Meat Tumor could engulf an entire city.
Such a horrific thing was hidden beneath the sixth floor.
Once such a thing began to extend, getting rid of it would be extremely difficult.
The best method to deal with an Abyss Meat Tumor was to destroy it before it grew to an uncontrollable size.
In that moment, Lu Heng finally understood why the Descent Faction wanted to seal off this base.
The only weakness of an Abyss Meat Tumor was that while it wasn't big enough, it was relatively easy to destroy.
That is to say,
As long as the Abyss Meat Tumor grew to a sufficient size, then burst forth, even missile bombardment would struggle to eliminate it completely.
Unless it was cleansed with nuclear weapons, but in that case, the city would be lost as well.
This implied that,
The Descent Faction only needed to hide the Abyss Meat Tumor in this base, allowing it to grow to a sufficient size before releasing it.
By that time, the city would be swallowed by the Abyss Meat Tumor, which would then continue to stretch out, gradually engulfing the entire planet bit by bit.
Indeed, the Abyss Meat Tumor had the awful capacity to devour an entire planet, simply given enough time.
By that time, under the rampage of the Abyss Meat Tumor, the Descent Faction would rule the Second Gaia Star of the Sikes Civilization.
