Chapter 490: Battle with Master (Part 1)
[It cannot be seriously injured in a short period of time. According to the last battle with Jiang Xueying, the Bone Demon's vitality will still show small cracks when it is attacked by too powerful a force under normal conditions. If it is attacked beyond its tolerance before the Hell Returner is triggered, there is a high probability that it will be killed instantly.
Secondly, on the way back from killing those experimental subjects, I was out of combat mode and my own combat effectiveness dropped rapidly.
Based on this example, we should be cautious when pursuing the enemy in battle in the future, otherwise we may lose the strength to return. 】
"That's about it." Su Ming picked up the paper and looked at it for a while, then reorganized his thoughts. After making sure that no details he had thought of during the battle were missed, a flame ignited at his fingertips and burned the paper.
"They can see me, and they are not members of the Mystic Eye. Even that little boy is not a human." Xia Xiaoyu said with lingering fear.
Su Ming took out the Chaos Magic Stone fragments from his pocket and held them in front of his eyes to examine them carefully.
Anyone with fragments of this depth of color would be suspicious if they were human. The fragments on Bailong and Chibi that I met on Houying Island last time were no more than this.
However, Xia Xiaoyu had said before that the non-humans that his supernatural powers target must be spiritually non-human in order to be satisfied. But the behaviors displayed by those monsters just now were very similar to those of humans. What exactly is the difference between their thinking and that of humans?
"Are you okay?" Jiang Yichuan walked into the room and saw Su Ming receiving a blood transfusion. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded in amazement, "I didn't expect that this airship would be so well-equipped, and even have blood bags. Does that mean there is a special freezer here?"
"Um... where is the deputy director now? When can he join us?" Su Ming avoided Jiang Yichuan's topic and asked about Liu Lingshan's whereabouts.
"I haven't contacted the deputy director yet. I will do so later. Also...thank you for what happened just now."
"What are you thanking me for?" Su Ming looked at Jiang Yichuan with a confused look on his face.
"My sister is too obsessed." Jiang Yichuang said with his head down.
Although it was impossible to tell what Jiang Yichuan was feeling on the surface, considering what had happened before and after, Su Ming could still understand what Jiang Yichuan said.
However, to be honest, he didn't think Jiang Yichuan had the right to say anything about Jiang Xueying. The two siblings had the same parents and their personalities were similar. The eldest brother wouldn't say anything like the second brother.
"Alas, obsession is something that cannot be easily let go. Didn't you also behave the same way when I advised you before?"
Jiang Yichuan nodded: "That's right, I caused this myself, so I'll solve it myself! By the way, do you know any way to make a person listen to the advice of someone she hates?"
"It should be possible to reason with her, or let someone else persuade her. I think the uncle next to your sister is a reasonable person. You can reason with him first, and then let him go and reason with your sister." Su Ming suggested.
He couldn't tell the real situation at all. In fact, he felt that Jiang Yichuan's current situation was almost desperate.
The sister who once loved him now doesn't want to pay any attention to him at all. She only wants to avenge her parents. In her eyes, he is just a burden.
In this situation, anything he said was almost useless.
…
Four days later, Su Ming and Liu Lingshan's airships met halfway.
Because of the damage to the glass roof and the differences in internal facilities, everyone was finally transferred to the airship where Liu Lingshan was.
"Long time no see. I'm so glad that everyone is safe." Liu Lingshan welcomed everyone at the entrance of the cabin. She gave Jiang Xueying and Lei Qianxin a special look.
The first time Jiang Xueying saw Liu Lingshan, she felt that the man in front of her had incredible power. Although she could not sense Liu Lingshan's level of strength like she could sense other Chaos Demons, she could see confidence in a person's eyes, and Liu Lingshan happened to be that extremely confident person.
Her self-confidence is different from that of ordinary people. It is not accumulated through accumulated victories, but comes from a clear understanding of her own strength.
Of course, she did not dare to guarantee that her judgment was completely correct. It was possible that these judgments were false impressions she had imagined because she had heard about this famous person from Jiang Yichuang in advance.
"Hello, Yichuan's sister." Liu Lingshan noticed Jiang Xueying's gaze and took the initiative to extend his hand to her.
"It's an honor to meet you." Jiang Xueying bowed and greeted very politely, without any of her usual arrogance.
Liu Lingshan nodded slightly, accepting the other party's respect, and asked, "I heard that you are seeking revenge?"
"Um... that's it."
"Then do you want to join the Investigation Bureau? I heard about your plan from Yichuan. You want to obtain more Chaos Fragments. The main reason is that with your current perception range, the efficiency of finding the murderer of your father is too low.
In that case, how about you join the Bureau?
We also have people like you here. You can cooperate with each other to search for the whereabouts of other demons around the world. You can also get public funding and a huge intelligence network.
Conservatively speaking, if the alliance is willing to devote a lot of resources to help you find the enemy who killed your parents, it will take less than a few days to find him, because it is almost like the whole world is helping you find him. Of course, this is very unrealistic.
But if I give you a favor, it would be fine to extend the time to a few months, what do you think?"
Jiang Xueying was shocked. This was the best solution that she had never thought of, let alone obtained!
"Seriously?"
"Of course I can't help you for free. You have to work hard before I can help you. I always keep my word, you can trust me completely." Liu Lingshan paused, stretched out his hand and casually lifted his bangs, and smiled, "I think you can feel it, right? I am much better than you. Now that I know it, I will not let someone like you fall into the inhuman realm. If you reject me here... then I will have to kill you."
Jiang Yichuan suddenly looked up and stared at Liu Lingshan expressionlessly. It was obvious that he was very nervous.
Su Ming patted Jiang Yichuan on the shoulder and told him to relax.
He really didn't expect Jiang Yichuang to ask Liu Lingshan for help. He thought that asking Lei Qianxin to help persuade Jiang Xueying was the best way. But judging from the current situation, people who live longer are indeed better than ordinary people in some aspects.
Given the conditions and consequences just now, Su Ming himself would not be able to refuse.
Jiang Xueying lowered her eyes and was silent for just a few seconds. Then she stretched out her hand with a smile on her face and took the olive branch that Liu Lingshan extended: "I'm happy to work under you."
"Welcome to the Investigation Bureau!" Liu Lingshan said in a strong and powerful voice.
This sentence made Su Ming a little dazed. He had joined the Investigation Bureau in the same way before... Time passed so quickly.
"You must be very tired after that battle, everyone should go and rest."
Zhou Yuhao, who felt weak all over and had a headache, had been waiting for these words. Upon hearing them, he could not wait to run to his bedroom. Su Ming turned around with the others and prepared to leave when he heard Liu Lingshan calling him from behind.
"Xiao Ming, come with me. I want to talk to you."
…
In the quiet and bright library, Liu Lingshan picked up the crystal clear chaos fragments on the coffee table and studied them carefully.
" Master, what do you think?"
"Not bad...quite good. The quality of one of the fragments has already caught up with the Chaos Demons encountered on Houying Island." Liu Lingshan made an objective evaluation.
Putting down the Chaos Fragment, she immediately smiled, her expression somewhat teasing and amusing.
"Oh, it's amazing that they have already gained the ability to control Chaos Demons. The Mystic Eye organization really can't be underestimated. This time, on my way here, Hua Island erupted in the same black fog as Houying Island. Combining these two things, perhaps it can be asserted that the Mystic Eye has the technology to create Chaos Demons.
If I tell this news to the old guys in the four major leagues, I wonder what kind of interesting expressions they will show. "
Liu Lingshan imagined with evil amusement, and Su Ming couldn't help but interrupt: "Master, I think your rhetoric is a bit inappropriate. Judging by your age, you are actually older than them."
"Little guy, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. Objective physiological facts determine ideology. How can I be considered old when I'm so young?
Also, since you were able to kill so many Chaos Demons in one go, can I assume that you have acquired a new powerful superpower?
In my estimation, you couldn’t even defeat one of them with your previous level. Looking at the quality of these chaos fragments, even Xiaoxi would have to cast a barrier to deal with it.
Tell me, whose superpowers did you steal?"
Su Ming did not intend to hide it from Liu Lingshan, so he told Liu Lingshan directly about the Hell Conqueror, a characteristic he had taken from the monster, as a superpower. However, after hearing it, Liu Lingshan still did not believe that Su Ming had such a superpower.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How is it possible to have such a weird superpower? You didn't just make it up, did you? The superpower descriptions I know are all very simple. Even if they are a little more complicated, they have a central theme. But the Conqueror you just mentioned, it's about becoming stronger when dying, countering injuries, and deterring injuries. It sounds like all the buffs in the game piled together!"
Liu Lingshan reached out his hand, hugged Su Ming's shoulders affectionately, and pulled his beloved disciple to his side: "Tell me the truth, do you still have the ability to fuse superpowers?"
Xia Xiaoyu, who had been standing by and listening, grabbed Liu Lingshan's hand, moved it away from Su Ming's shoulder, and then took the initiative to massage Su Ming's shoulders.
"Can this be kept secret?" Su Ming answered the other party in a semi-answering manner.
Liu Lingshan smiled mysteriously and nodded, tacitly agreeing to Su Ming's small request.
At this moment, she felt indescribable emotion in her heart. She had always thought that she was very good at judging people, but after meeting Su Ming, she suddenly felt that she was not so accurate in judging people.
The current Su Ming has far exceeded her previous assessment of him. Su Ming is not only a peerless talent who can change society, but perhaps also a super killer that can balance the entire supernatural world.
Of course, it is just a check and balance. Until the rule of "exceeding limit falling" can be circumvented, no one can control the entire world.
On the other hand, this might be a good thing.
"Hmm! You're really capable of making me worry for so many days!" Liu Lingshan stretched and sat up from the sofa. "Let's go out and test your ability. Let me see how strong you can be when ."
…
On the deck of the new airship, Su Ming and Liu Lingshan stood opposite each other.
They planned to conduct a very dangerous test, a test of Su Ming's upper limit of combat power.
Ever since the moment he synthesized the Hell Conqueror, Su Ming had been thinking about what level of combat power he would have when he reached the near-death state. However, practical conditions had not allowed him to conduct tests in this regard because his strength did not allow it.
In battle, although he could choose not to attack and keep enduring the enemy's attacks to keep himself in combat mode, he had learned a sad fact in the battle with Subject No. 7, that is, overly strong deterrence would make the enemy lose the will to fight, and once the enemy lost the will to fight, his enhanced BUFF would become ineffective.
Therefore, if you want to see the ultimate limit of the Conqueror of Hell, you need a special opponent.
This opponent must be strong enough, strong enough to withstand the pressure when he has fully grown.
As one of the thirteen S-level specialists, the master is undoubtedly the best candidate for this test.
"Hey, hey! Hey, hey!"
Liu Lingshan jumped up and down on the spot, stretching his muscles and bones, as if he was about to have a normal combat training.
While stretching her ligaments, she asked, "You don't have to have the intention to kill when fighting, right? Otherwise, this test can't be carried out. Also, how strong a blow can you withstand? What level of domineering body have you cultivated to?"
"There shouldn't be a real need to kill, as long as you're in a combat state. But I'm not sure exactly what counts as a combat. If the opponent is too weak, then it doesn't count as a combat even if I unilaterally withstand the opponent's attack. Just like even if I regard the ants that are biting me as my opponents, I won't enter the state of Hell Conqueror." Su Ming thought, stroking his chin.
Liu Lingshan laughed and said, "Hahaha! You mean if I can't break your defense, it doesn't count as a fight?"
"I didn't say that! Master, please don't make false accusations!" Su Ming said as he frowned.
Liu Lingshan was a little scared when she was stretching... Her stretching movements were so weird. Why did it feel like her limbs had their own consciousness? She only had two hands and two feet, but it gave people the feeling of a land squid twisting.
"My stretching routine can effectively maintain the reaction speed of muscles throughout the body. Want to learn it?"
"Sorry, I don't want to." Su Ming refused decisively.
Liu Lingshan smiled slightly: "Then... shall we begin?"
"Well, I'm ready anytime."
"Then I'll do it."
Liu Lingshan placed his left hand on his right shoulder, swung his right arm like a windmill and walked towards Su Ming.
Seeing this scene, Su Ming couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He found that the originally relaxed atmosphere had become inexplicably tense for some reason.
