Cosmic Demon

Chapter 262 What is Speedrunning? This is Speedrunning!
In the Qin Dynasty's view, countless long rectangular frames of various colors were displayed.

Some are enemy targets, while others are high-value resource samples.

[Insight] The scope of the achievement is extremely broad, encompassing almost the entire area surrounding the administration building.

"There aren't many bosses worth taking seriously."

Qin Shi carefully considered which way to break through. He activated the third stage and unleashed a tenfold amplification field. It would take him about ten minutes to reach the "resource point" of the administrative building.

"If the Bull and Horse Squad were to cover for me and draw fire, we should be able to reduce the time to eight minutes."

Looking at Qin Shi's serious expression, Long Qiuyuan felt uneasy.

This was the first time she had participated in such a dangerous operation, a direct raid on the enemy's base.

"Boss, perhaps we should calm down and reconsider, and devise a strategy..."

Long Qiuyuan broke out in a cold sweat. Based on the extensive experience of the senior P9 experts at Xuyang Heavy Industry, this was undoubtedly a risky move.

If you are targeted by the BOSS inside the lair, your chance of escape is comparable to the survival rate of a plane crash.

"Of course I've considered tactics. Lao Long, you're in charge of holding the line and weakening their firepower, Xiao Tang will provide support."

Qin Shi said solemnly:
"Then I counted down for ten seconds, jumped in, and slaughtered all the creatures that found me along the way."

Could the boss be a direct descendant of the Yang family of Hongzhou?

Does he have this berserker bloodline?
Long Qiuyuan and Ye Xiaotang looked at each other, speechless.

They couldn't even accuse the young boss of treating the lives of his "employees" like a joke.

Because the part Qin Shi was in charge of was the most dangerous job.

"Eat more, boss."

Long Qiuyuan quickly took out bottles and jars from his spatial backpack and stuffed them all into Qin Shi's hands.

Things like high-energy oral liquids and purified essences exuded an extremely strong attraction, making Qin Shi unable to help but swallow.

A feeling of hunger suddenly arose!

"If you had something this good, why didn't you bring it out sooner?"

Qin Shi crushed the bottle cap of the high-energy oral liquid with his bare hands, gulped it down, and then injected two vials of purified essence into his body.

The crystalline flesh and blood shone brightly, extremely dazzling, almost penetrating the body and transforming into a bright torch illuminating the night sky.

Fortunately, Qin Shi activated the Body Refinement Furnace, which quickly absorbed and purified the energy essence contained in the original elements.

Click, click.

The faint sound of shattering glass emanated from Qin Shi's body.

The once smooth and supple skin now resembled a snake shedding its skin, with pieces of nail-sized material cracking off.

"In the fifth stage of rebirth, I am about to shed my mortal body."

Qin Shi was satisfied and stepped into the fifth major limit. After breaking through the membrane barrier, the five secret treasures of the Body Refinement Furnace were gradually tempered.

The most vulnerable point for a professional martial arts master lies within their mortal body.

They are physically strong, have perfect harmony between body and mind, and are fearless of artillery fire, but when they encounter unpredictable psychics who use various spells to damage their internal organs, they will be at a disadvantage.

This deficiency can only be remedied once the casting is completed and the project is fully finished.

"It's very expensive, boss."

Long Qiuyuan was in excruciating pain, as if his heart was bleeding.

"Your meal has consumed several months' worth of supplies for our team of three."

Cool!
Qin Shi let out a long sigh of relief. The countless hungry cells in his body seemed to be satisfied, giving him a feeling of exhilaration, like quickly replenishing carbohydrates after intense exercise.

He solemnly guaranteed:

"Old Long, I guarantee a win, trust me."

What an outdated way of calling it!
Long Qiuyuan's lips twitched.

However, considering that the other party was the boss and she was an employee, and out of excellent professional ethics, she silently accepted the title.

"Start the countdown."

Qin Shi gripped the perfect-grade electric shock saber and took a deep breath:
"Next, please enjoy a perfect infiltration!"

……

……

Click, click, click!
The furious roar of the power chainsaw blades echoed across the vast wilderness.

The Seventh Battle Group adopted a three-man team system, with three men per team, and advanced in a dispersed manner.

When faced with a large number of heavy soldier ants, the squad quickly regrouped, formed an encirclement, and wiped them out.

They were like a well-functioning war machine, routing the Rakshasa ant swarm and driving them away.

The Seventh Battle Group followed at a leisurely pace. The Wind Scythe Sequence Army, equipped with exoskeleton power armor, could not match the speed of the Rakshasa Ants and was quickly put at a distance.

"Old Wu has no taste! This old relic is so much more exciting!"

Lin Xiong roared, and the bloody violence of the chainsaw and sword cutting through his familiar creatures was like an injection of stimulants, causing his adrenaline to surge wildly.

"You know nothing! Do you know how many nests there are in a polluted area that stretches thousands of kilometers, and how many elite and leader-level creatures can be hatched from them? Do you know that the number of those polluted servants is counted in the tens of thousands?"

Wu Yong sneered, as if the top student in the class were looking at the bottom student, expressing his disdain with a contemptuous look.

"Even if you were to use chainsaws and swords to hack at them, you wouldn't be able to wipe out a single clan or family member even if you worked yourself to death!"
This outdated method of warfare is destined to be obsolete! Warships, cannons, concentrated firepower, and orbital strikes—that's the future!

The bear ran wildly, its heavy footsteps pounding the ground and sending dirt flying.

With a sharp whistling sound from the power chainsaw blades, a heavy soldier ant that couldn't escape was cleaved in two. Its truck-sized body sprayed out strong acid blood, corroding the scorched earth and creating pits.

"You've been rambling on and on, as if I've never had a tactics class? Let me ask you, isn't Marshal Qin the most accomplished strategist in Dongxia? The Fourth Battle Group's mass troop deployment, combined with the warships' flat push and the divine aircraft's infiltration, is there anything wrong with that?"

Lin Xiong's vitality suddenly erupted, and the violent fluctuations were like a landslide and a tsunami, instantly transforming into an arrowhead that pierced straight ahead, accelerating the team's advance.

"Old Lin, you're really good at labeling people! I'm not a fanatic of the Inquisition. History teaches us to view everyone objectively and rationally, including the most outstanding heroes... even Marshal Qin!"

Wu Yong stiffened his neck, but there was a hint of lack of confidence in him.

After all, Qin Shuai's prestige in Dongxia was like a star that had been burning for billions of years, forever blazing and radiant.

His brilliance far surpasses that of the other supreme meritorious officials.

It even became a monument to civilization in the new Dongxia, and was admired and worshipped by hundreds of millions of citizens.

"Stop joking around! This is a battlefield, not your debate platform!"

Jiang Shijie interrupted, following the main force and driving the Rakshasa ant swarm into the lair of the human-faced spider clan.

The intense release of life force by numerous warriors created a shockwave that resembled a vast expanse of fiery clouds, slowly tearing through the dark curtain of the boundless sky, making it extremely conspicuous.

"As ordered by our superiors, we must establish a defensive line to send the Rakshasa Ants into the territory of the Human-faced Spider Clan, and strictly prohibit any of their subordinate creatures from escaping."

Jiang Shijie held the chainsaw sword in both hands, standing on a high slope, gazing at the administrative building that stood in the vast wilderness, its massive outline like a crouching beast.

Relative creatures often build "nests" for evolution in areas where energy factors are most concentrated and abundant.

"This polluted area was once a human settlement."

Jiang Shijie sighed.

He deeply felt the helplessness of Hengzhou's rising star. The Gluttonous Lord, with an extremely high sequence, slumbered in the Earth's core, causing all fluctuations related to electrons and energy to be distorted and alienated. This dragged Hengzhou into a quagmire of continuous large-scale expansion, constantly consuming each other with its subordinate creature groups, like an endless tug-of-war.

"That's how it is in the border regions."

Wu Yong shut down the incessantly roaring power chainsaw and sword, and said in a deep voice:
"The closer you are to the capital, the less you are affected by the Star God. The farther you are from the central government, the higher the level of blockade you will be subject to, and over time, your development will fall behind."

Driven away, the Rakshasa ant swarmed like a tide toward the nest of the human-faced spider clan.

This is an overstepping of boundaries.

Driven by the instinctive vigilance of their kin, the Spider-Man race launched a counterattack, with large numbers of demonic offspring rushing out from their lower-level nests to block the berserk Rakshasa Ants outside the administrative building complex.

From above, it looks like two torrents colliding, shattering the already unstable spatial structure and revealing a profound sense of nothingness.

"Wait, Chiang Kai-shek, take a look."

Lin Xiong frowned, his expression like a distorted, swirling splash of paint, with a jarring, discordant color.

He wasn't the only one who noticed it; many soldiers who had already reached the professional level also discovered it.

"This aura... it's so familiar..."

A hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Shijie's eyes, as if he had sensed it somewhere before.

Immediately afterwards, a boy's face appeared in his mind.

"Why is he here?"

……

……

"...Eight, nine, ten!"

As the countdown ticked, his tall figure sprinted at full speed, transforming into a rolling wave of air that surged up like a rumbling thunderclap, spreading and rumbling in all directions!
Amidst the rising dust, a huge, dazzling humanoid ball of light streaked past, and the unsheathed, perfect-grade electric shock saber blazed with lightning!

Bang bang bang!
The powerful vitality that unlocked the third stage was like a warship engine propelling Qin Shi's mortal body, accelerating him time and time again!
The void of space is like a barrier of air currents from a Mach ring being breached!
"What happened?"

"Enemy attack!"

"shooting!"

A barrage of bullets rained down, covering the advancing Qin Shi inch by inch.

The expansion of his spiritual power in his sea of ​​consciousness enhanced his senses, making them so acute that the flow of the world seemed to slow down, and his eyes could even see the trajectory of the bullets marked with chaotic patterns, like intersecting white lines!

Field unfolds!

Qin Shi decisively activated the tenfold amplification, instantly disappearing from his original spot as if a flash of brilliant light had passed by, leaving a tear that stretched for more than ten meters.

"Boss, you're terrifyingly strong!"

From Long Qiuyuan's perspective, Qin Shi's figure flickered blurry, and then the bodies of the lower-ranking servants who resisted were all shattered!

Red lines appeared on the faces of many relatives, and then, as if they were being violently torn apart, thick blood spurted out!
"Too fast! There's absolutely no way to track the boss's movements! Unless a psychic locks onto his aura..."

While clicking her tongue, Ye Xiaotang used her telekinetic power to create chaos, crushing the fish that had slipped through the net one by one.

"Break through to the interior of the administration building!"

"Where is the enemy?"

"Lock on him!"

"There is only one human..."

Before the lower-ranking servants could even form a defense, Qin Shi broke through the defenses.

The entire process, from beginning to end, took no more than twenty seconds!

"A bunch of useless trash! Mere humans..."

On the fifth floor of the administration building, a handsome man dressed in a crimson robe and with the hairstyle of an ancient imperial nobleman smashed a floor-to-ceiling window with a punch and leaped straight down.

boom!
With no effort to absorb the impact, the foot slammed heavily onto the ground, causing spiderweb-like cracks to spread over a large area.

The handsome man raised his robes, and his six pairs of limbs opened like blades, as if tearing through space, and he rushed in front of Qin Shi in an instant!

Unfurling out, the two-meter-long, jet-black limbs danced rapidly, flashing like blades, cutting through flesh and blood!
Chi!
Qin Shi's gaze was serious as he twirled his military saber, employing the sword techniques taught to him by Tan Cong.

It's spreading like wildfire!
A sudden burst of sword light erupted!
Like a pile of firewood doused with gasoline, flames leaped up and quickly connected in a line, raging fiercely!

The human-faced spider demon who had just entered the second energy level felt a sudden flash of light before his eyes, as if he had been blinded.

With a soft "poof," the handsome man's vision was reversed, and the world seemed to churn.

It was as if he had fallen from a great height and crashed to the ground.

"Isn't that my body?"

The human-faced spider demon, which was not yet fully grown, saw its own torso standing in place.

"Where's the head?"

After a two-second delay, the Spider Demon realized what was happening, and his eyes showed terror.

Snapped!
The head that fell to the ground was crushed and mangled by the footsteps that followed.

Qin Shi didn't even glance at the other person. He turned his mortal body and continued to move forward in a winding path, like a sharp, curving line!
"Stop him! Slow him down!"

"Too fast... I can't keep up at all..."

In just a few breaths, Qin Shi had already approached the bottom of the administration building.

A large group of lower-ranking servants, like an impenetrable wall, stood firmly in front of the entrance.

Tornado-like force!
Qin Shi gripped the sword with both hands, twisted his waist, and unleashed a terrifying, fan-shaped attack with a chilling light that swept across the sky!
The lower-ranking servant, attempting to block the perfect-grade electric shock saber with its body, spurted out waves of blood!
Their bodies, as hard as carapaces, could not slow down the speed at which the blade pierced through flesh.

The powerful force was unleashed, causing blood and internal organs to explode in mid-air!
This wall of flesh and blood was also breached!

Qin Shi stomped his foot heavily, and the ground rippled like a shaking carpet!
The billowing smoke and dust obscured the figure, and the high-speed operating body-cultivation furnace contained intense heat, like a steel furnace at thousands of degrees Celsius, evaporating any blood that might fall onto the mortal body, turning it into wisps of viscous red mist.

"How dare you! A mere recruit dares to cause trouble in my clan's lair!"

A deep, muffled sound, like thunder, ripped through the air.

Following closely behind was a massive, imposing body, as wide as a door panel.

The newcomer was not as handsome and sinister as the other Spider Demon descendants; instead, he had a pointed head and broad shoulders.

Its massive body, as dense as a boulder, crashed through the churning air currents, and its thick arm rose and swung.

The terrifying force ripped the air out, creating a long, almost vacuum-like passage!

The timing of this human-faced spider demon was excellent; it seized the moment before Qin Shi could withdraw his sword.

"Ah!"

Qin Shi clenched his left fist, stood firmly on his feet, and threw a punch!
The ground suddenly shook, as if two cannonballs had exploded at the same time!

The two figures, colliding head-on, froze in place. Then, less than a fraction of a second later, the human-faced spider demon was suddenly sent flying backward, crushing the gate behind it.

The thick arm twisted and tore apart, shattering inch by inch from the fingertips, spreading all the way to the shoulder and torso. The thick, black-armor-like muscles collapsed inward, squeezing out thick blood.

Although he crippled the big guy with one punch, Qin Shi's movement speed did slow down.

In that instant, the air around him seemed to be sucked out, and a heavy, invisible pressure was applied to his entire body!
A psionicist's telekinetic lock!
