Cosmic Demon

Chapter 257 The Flame Never Dies, The Ultimate BOSS!

The figure rushing towards them passed the short-haired woman and went straight to the very center of the battlefield.

The officer in the lead was not tall, only about 1.56 meters, but he had a strong sense of menace between his brows, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, cleaving through all directions.

The dark green robe billowed high, and the kinetic weapon hanging at the waist suddenly came off and smashed into the scorched ground.

With the sound of gears meshing, a standard-issue, black, dull combat knife was ejected from it.

Clang!
The leading officer opened his palm and grasped it tightly.

The boundless vitality of life, like an engine starting up, instantly produced a thunderous roar.

The boiling, scalding blood instantly released a large amount of heat, as if a tangible domain was rapidly expanding, rushing towards Tia, whose cheeks were flushed.

The unstable space cracked and shattered, like the bright exhaust plume of a missile launch, leaving a long, glaring trail.

"Damn it! You interrupted my 'date' with my sweetheart."

With her towering two-meter frame, Tia coldly looked down at the Eastern Xia scouts who had suddenly appeared and spoiled her fun.

hum!
His gaze was so intense it seemed to tangible, causing the atmosphere to churn and thunder to roar.

It was like a cannonball suddenly exploding!
boom!
A powerful shockwave churned and churned, stirring up large amounts of weeds and pebbles. The scout captain of the Poplar Wall Fortress squinted and sank his feet deep into the scorched ground.

The hem of the robe that had fallen down fluttered up again, making a "whoosh" sound.

The scout captain's expression was solemn. The field he released was blocked, as if he had hit a solid and heavy wall.

The life force, containing a strong and twisted aura, slowly condensed behind the other party, swirling and forming a green wave like a pool of strong acid. One could vaguely see distorted faces emitting mournful howls!
"A female companion that has already undergone two evolutions... with a life force of 230 points. A strong being like you should not be here."

The scout captain raised his eyes and locked onto the human-faced spider, his mind tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The polluted area resembles a tropical rainforest teeming with wild beasts, where each clan of creatures possesses a strong sense of territory.

They usually stay in their own "nests" and rarely cross the boundaries to hunt.

"My target is the sweetheart behind you. Make way and I'll let you go."

Tia stuck out her tongue and lightly licked her red lips, alluring and beautiful, like a black rose with thorns and poison.

"Tonight's slaughter has satisfied me, and I have no interest in hunting anymore."

So get out of my way and don't get in the way of my 'intimate conversation' with the little one.

The scout sergeant frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but turn around to look at the young recruit who was sitting still in the same spot.

Although she looks quite presentable, she's not so bad as to be a femme fatale. Surely she wouldn't make a double-evolved alien family member fall in love with her?

Could it be the female's estrus cycle?
After a brief moment of consideration, the scout captain put away his wandering thoughts and looked at Tia again.

Based on rational judgment, what the other party said is actually correct; the pollution level of this area is only "one".

At most, there exist alien relatives that have completed one evolution.

However, the human-faced spider that arrived on the battlefield clearly possessed a pollution level of "two".

It's no exaggeration to say that if it wanted to, it could easily wipe out its entire reconnaissance squad.

"The first rule that soldiers from Baiyang Fortress should remember is 'Never abandon or give up'."

The scout took a deep breath; if only he had a cigarette right now.

The moment his words fell to the ground, life force burst forth from every part of his body, and his figure flashed almost instantly, leaving behind a blurry afterimage.

The standard-issue combat knife was like a black rainbow, covering a distance of several hundred meters in less than a millisecond. In everyone's field of vision, they could barely see the scout captain's initial movement before the blade was pressed against Tia's face.

"A 'characteristic' of speed type, huh?"

The battle blade sliced ​​through space without causing a ripple, yet everything in its path was pulverized!
Even Tia's incredibly sturdy field couldn't stop the scout captain's ultimate strike!

Chi!
As Tia's reaction speed caught up with the incoming blade of light, its sharpness had already penetrated deep into her forehead, and wisps of blood were scattered!
"Unfortunately, you shouldn't have entered my domain."

Just as the head was split in two, the blade light, which had been accelerating to its maximum speed, suddenly froze, and the blurry afterimage gradually emerged, revealing the clear figure of the scout captain.

He gripped the standard-issue battle knife in his hand, his dark green robe was tattered and corroded as if soaked in aqua regia, and his skin was covered with large areas of burn marks.

"Phew! Almost there..."

The scout sergeant swayed, as if he might fall at any moment.

One of the differences between alien species and humans is that their "characteristics" can be passed down.

The human-faced spider race is known for its "powerful corrosion" and "super digestion," firmly holding its position as a top predator.

Without a doubt, Tia was the former.

The life field, which has evolved twice, is like a pool of strong acid with a concentration of 200%, which would melt even steel.

"Your mortal body is too weak! This level of accelerated killing has already pushed you to your limit."

Tia gently pinched the standard-issue battle knife pressed against her forehead with two fingers, causing it to bleed profusely, and moved it away.

It was covered in rust, as if the metal had aged, and it would snap easily with a slight bend.

"You almost succeeded."

Tia smiled, the thrill of being on the brink of life and death giving her immense satisfaction, and her full red lips couldn't help but let out a seductive moan.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you right away. I want you to witness the gruesome sight of your companions being crushed one by one, and to sleep forever with unparalleled guilt and hatred. That's the most wonderful thing about humans as prey."

The scout sergeant collapsed to the ground, his injuries far exceeding the severe burns on the surface of his skin.

Tia's life field is highly corrosive, even the air is no exception.

At this moment, the scout's internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, and even his professional-level physical fitness and self-healing ability could not repair them immediately.

This is why he couldn't unleash that final strike and completely kill Tia!
"When you realize that you can't win head-on, so you decisively bet on yourself and go all out—that kind of judgment deserves my respect."

Tia kicked the scout captain aside like a dead dog, and said with a smile:

"To make you die in agony is my highest form of respect!"

……

……

It's 'lightning speed'.

The moment the scout sergeant swung his sword to strike, the short-haired woman recognized his specialized skills.

By using his life force to accelerate several times over, he can unleash deadly attacks, making him practically a born assassin.

If the woman didn't know the details, she had no doubt that she would be instantly killed.

With extreme acceleration and terrifying finishing moves, it's entirely possible to challenge powerful enemies beyond one's level!
"This officer is no match for the Spider-Man. If his mortal body were stronger, he could have withstood its powerful corrosive effects..."

The blindfolded watermelon-headed girl was quite disappointed, because her observations, made with her mind, were far clearer than those of others who used their naked eyes.

Even the scout captain's accelerated sword-drawing motion can be captured frame by frame in slow motion.

"A perfect cut."

"Captain, what should we do next?" Watermelon Head commented.

The short-haired woman wielded two swords, their movements resembling blooming flowers.

She took a step forward, heading towards the female companion creature, her voice carried by the wind to the ears of the watermelon-headed woman.

"Our Ox and Horse Squad has always had a good reputation. The soldiers of Baiyang Fortress know how to never abandon or give up."

Would we be cowards to desert our posts? Contact Ah Niu and tell her to activate the final warning plan if necessary!

Watermelon Head held his breath, his little face serious, and nodded very earnestly.

As the model support team of Xuyang Heavy Industry for three consecutive terms, they naturally have excellent professional skills.

Aside from the captain's ability to find openings and strike decisively, Ah Niu also possesses exceptional long-range sniping skills.

Most importantly, the Bull and Horse Squad always has a backup early warning plan!
"You're all too weak. Compared to me after my evolution, you're all too weak."

Tia came gracefully, and wherever she went, even the scorched and desolate wilderness could not escape being corroded.

All the plants and trees that were full of life withered and died, losing their last bit of vitality.

As Tia moved, with each step she took, the emerald waves that had evolved from life trembled along with the fullness of her chest.

The scouts in their dark green robes fell one after another, utterly powerless to resist.

A professional-level powerhouse that has completed two evolutions is almost the absolute king of this region, occupying the top of the food chain.

Tia could not have come to the very edge of the contaminated area without the high priest's order.

This is like a Tyrannosaurus Rex intruding into the habitat of a herbivore.

"The people of Dongxia always have all sorts of strange obsessions."

Tia's eyes showed doubt. The creatures in the polluted area were, in a way, like "wild beasts" that had been kept in captivity.

Every major expansion movement is followed by the clearing out of them.

As a group of beings with a certain degree of intelligence, alien relatives can also think, analyze, and even communicate with humans.

But they simply cannot understand how humans constantly kill each other because of their own interests, engaging in bloody internal struggles and purges.

Why do they sometimes display astonishing courage, and make choices that can be described as foolish?

"The name of Dongxia resounds throughout the Milky Way, passed down for nine hundred millennia, ensuring the continued existence and brilliance of the flame of civilization."

The short-haired woman rushed to the center of the battlefield, and Qin Shi opened his eyes again, his eyes blazing with a brilliant light, shining like a great star.

It illuminated the pitch-black wilderness in an instant.

First evolution!

Completed!

Qin Shi opened his arms, and the black moon hanging in the night sky seemed to be drawn in. The energy tide that had solidified into a tangible force transformed into a pillar of light, crashing down and enveloping everything below!

The atmosphere was blasted apart!
Space was crushed!
Tia suddenly stopped, her gaze sharpening. She clearly sensed a terrifying aura, vast as the ocean, surging forth from the "sweetheart's" mortal body and pouring out in all directions!

"Isn't he human? How can he absorb the power of the Black Moon?!"

Not only was Tia surprised, but the short-haired woman, as well as those in high robes and Zhao Su, also looked puzzled.

The Black Moon Tide is essentially an "image" formed by the infiltration and condensation of the Netherworld.

It can provide blessings to an endless number of subordinate creatures, much like a permanent buff.

Humans are the ones who are affected; the Black Moon can incite their negative emotions and even cause various abnormalities in their minds or bodies.

"Brother Qin, this is even more ferocious than the summoned creatures! Like... a big boss!"

Zhao Su scratched his head. Reflected in his eyes, Qin Shi was bathed in the pillar of dark moonlight, his clothes fluttering in the wind, revealing the powerful and beautiful muscle lines.

As the massive beam of light penetrated his flesh and blood and was absorbed at will, dark patterns emerged on Qin Shi's chest and back, resembling a sun.

[Predator]!
[Breakdown!]
[Insight]...

With a series of achievements activated on the Monument Panel and his vitality reaching its peak, Qin Shi finally broke through the fifth limit and reached the pinnacle of his combat power!

"He saw me!"

Tia felt a sudden tightness in her heart for no reason, and instantly realized that Qin Shi had locked onto her aura.

Whoosh!
The next moment, Qin Shi slammed his foot on the ground, the space seemed to shrink, and his figure flashed rapidly, covering a distance of a hundred meters.

Tia's retina blurred for a moment before becoming clear.

Qin Shi's young face magnified in its eyes, his intense vitality filling the tip of his nose, radiating a fatal attraction that made Tia tremble all over.

Before there was any chance to react, the iron-like hand had already gripped the slender neck and was gradually tightening its grip.

"An unprecedented feeling of exhilaration!"

Tia was breathing rapidly, her face flushed, and she could barely control herself.

At the same time, a vibrant green life force, like a raging torrent, surged like a vast ocean.

The amplified corrosive properties tightly enveloped Qin Shifan's body, like a dense gas film, attempting to break down the vigorous vitality of his flesh and blood.

Boom!
Qin Shi remained unmoved and pressed down hard with his palm!
Tia's head slammed heavily into the ground, and her two-meter-tall, muscular body was then buried deep in the scorched earth, carving out a deep furrow!

The weeds and rocks were all broken, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Shi had rushed a thousand meters away and pressed Tia hard into the outer wall of the outpost!
boom!
The hard, thick concrete was blasted open, revealing a human figure!

Then came a series of dull impacts, and the entire outpost was breached, sending up clouds of dust.

"Damn it! How can he be so strong, so fierce, so domineering... even though he's only just evolved!"

Tia tried to struggle, but the overwhelming power emanating from the other's arm was like a torrent, unstoppable!
A powerful gust of air roared and thundered, revealing a vacuum channel with extremely clear cracks.

Those are traces left by the Qin Dynasty.

Boom!
Tia's body pressed into the center of the impenetrable wall, her retreating figure coming to a stop at this moment.

My head was spinning, I was in excruciating pain, and I felt suffocated because my neck was being choked.

The powerful female, who had completed two evolutions, had her face contorted, with drool dripping from the corners of her mouth, as if she were experiencing extreme pleasure.

"So strong! Little guy, you are simply the most powerful and toughest male creature I have ever seen!"
You are a man's man, the most masculine of men..."

Tia's voice was weak, and her body was burning hot and red, like a burning furnace.

"I can't bear to see such a perfect being like you suffer even the slightest bit of corrosion or damage..."

Qin Shi remained expressionless, slowly releasing his grip. His eyes shone with a fiery, platinum-gold light, like an unyielding, unyielding statue.

"Harm? I just feel a little itchy."

He spoke softly, his hand brushing away dust and extinguishing the vibrant green life force that clung to his shoulder.
