Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 292 Battle Reaching the Microscopic Level

Zheng Zha couldn't help but swallow hard as he watched Mu Xiang rush out so violently. Although the extraordinary systems of the Polar Day Society were clearly weaker than those of other gene-locked experts of the same level, it was still somewhat horrifying that several third-level experts were smashed to pieces like porcelain dolls.

Well, these identical octopus-like creatures wrapped in white robes do indeed look a bit like porcelain dolls.

However, Zheng Zha was not as violent as Mu Xiang. Dark red fire snakes slithered around his body, silently turning the tide of enemies into ashes.

Unfortunately, even elegance has its limits. When a high-ranking military officer descended from the sky with a group of subordinates, Zheng Zha finally dropped his casual expression.

"Fourth tier..." Zheng Zha thought to himself, "If he hadn't brought several third tiers with him, he would probably be about the same as that previous envoy."

Without any further ado, a roaring ball of red flame tore through the air and blasted directly at the high-ranking military officer.

He tilted his head and dodged the flying fire. But the military officer behind him didn't have the same reaction time. He was shouting slogans when the red flame hit him squarely in the face, blowing his head to pieces.

Explosive!

"His reaction time is terrible... If it were Mu Xiang, he could at least yawn before dodging." Zheng Zha muttered to himself, then stopped testing him, unlocked his third-tier gene lock, and his entire body burst into dark red flames!
The high-ranking military officer gave a low shout, assumed a fighting stance, and was in front of Zheng Zha in the next moment. His palm was covered with ancient patterns, and he struck directly at Zheng Zha's chest.

Judging from the effortless exertion of force and the restrained power, anyone would know that being hit by that punch would not end well.

But Zheng Zha remained calm and composed, twisting his body and using his shoulder to meet the palm strike.

With a "thud," Zheng Zha's left shoulder was shattered. But at the same time, the expression hidden under the white robe changed, and a burst of green light erupted from his body, causing the two to retreat and create distance between them.

The feel and sound of that slap were clearly wrong. In fact, Zheng Zha's shattered left shoulder turned into a plume of black flames, which directly adhered to the high-ranking military officer's hand.

Originally intended to destroy both body and spirit, the palm print now became a weakness. As if drawn by something, the palm print, possessing physical, energy, and spiritual attributes, shone brightly with green light, actually biting the black flames tightly; however, as the black flames swayed, the palm print, though becoming increasingly dazzling, gradually blurred.

The high-ranking military officer was both shocked and furious. The extraordinary system of the Polar Day Society emphasized the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. At his level, he could already connect his body, energy, and spirit, manifesting them through the master's magic rune system. He had once heard a powerful spiritual master explain that this method was borrowed from another martial arts system, using martial arts runes to express martial arts will and unleash extremely powerful force.

Of course, with the blessing of the master's magic runes, this method is bound to be even more powerful!
Although Mu Xiang wasn't there to directly criticize them for bragging, the situation wasn't optimistic either. The palm print, which was extremely important to him, was showing signs of being destroyed.

Each magical rune represents a different move, and only by manifesting it can the true power of these moves be unleashed... Now it's like the button for his most frequently used skill has been removed, no wonder he's anxious.

Just as he was about to create distance and forcefully use his will to clash with the black flames, a plain, dark red light swept over, forcing him to move aside again.

Upon closer inspection, the dark red color turned out to be a giant sword that was entirely dark red.

Zheng Zha pulled out the Branch of Annihilation and almost instantly infused it with condensed crimson flames. His shattered shoulder had already healed, and now he had the upper hand. "Use your true power!" Zheng Zha shouted, and the Branch of Annihilation swirled into a dark red torrent from the scorching air. With a wave of his hands, it roared towards the high-ranking military officer.

The high-ranking military officer leaped out of the attack range of the crimson flame torrent with a light tap of his feet. A powerful force struck Zheng Zha's feet, but it only caused wisps of crimson flame to erupt from his legs; his movements remained unchanged, and the dark red flames incinerated the military officer and soldiers before him into ashes.

At this moment, both deformed flesh and inorganic bodies were swept together by the scorching heat, becoming indistinguishable from one another.

A daring military officer landed behind Zheng Zha, his hands wielding green blades of light, aiming straight for his neck and back. Judging from the blinding green light and the slightly unsteady shape of the blades, he was using all his strength.

"Well done!" Zheng Zha shouted, unfurling a bat wing covered in dragon scales from his back to block the light blade. The collision produced a sound like metal clashing.

He merely blocked the attack from behind, transforming into a ball of dark red flame, and charged towards the high-ranking military officer with his greatsword raised.

At this moment, the palm print was barely preserved, and the black flames were completely cleared away. Then, another sword strike came, which frustrated the high-ranking military officer. He snorted angrily, and green light emanated from his hands, forming a light shield and a light blade.

The light shield collided with the Branch of Destruction, the subtle force causing Zheng Zha to stagger backward, his arms, now transformed into crimson flames, also trembled slightly. The next moment, the green light blade hurtled straight for his head.

Although it had transformed into crimson flames, its opponent was still a fourth-tier powerhouse capable of clashing with its energy. Zheng Zha dared not be careless, using the Branch of Destruction to protect himself and sweep away the green light blade.

Then, the high-ranking military officer struck again with his palm. Zheng Zha's greatsword had just returned to its protective stance when it suddenly swayed, perfectly blocking the attack, as if it had known he was coming all along.

The high-ranking military officer's expression darkened. It seemed that his advantage against this reincarnated individual lay in his ability to perceive subtle details. Having learned from his previous experience, this palm strike was enveloped in green light, and the timing was perfect.

The Branch of Destruction trembled from the blow, its dark red blade rippled. The dark red within seemed to disperse due to the shock, revealing some of the sword's true color.

Just as the high-ranking military officer was about to give chase, the dark red greatsword returned to its original state, and a burst of black flames erupted from the point of impact. Had he not been so perceptive, he might not have noticed it in the darkness.

Taking advantage of his pause in pursuit, Zheng Zha withdrew his arms, and then his greatsword, enveloped in a terrifying wave of fire, swept across, colliding precisely with the high-ranking military officer's knee strike. The energy bursts and the force of the clash separated the two once more; while retreating, Zheng Zha was not idle either, his body erupting with crimson flames, forcing back the military officer who had previously launched the sneak attack.

Before the military officer behind him could regain his footing, the Branch of Destruction swept over and slammed him away. Although a burst of green light erupted, it clearly failed to protect him well, and he was seriously injured.

Unable to gain the upper hand, the high-ranking military officer had no choice but to change tactics. He abruptly altered his movements, raising his palm like a knife and slashing at Zheng Zha with green light.

The Branch of Destruction blocked the attack once again. Feeling the impact of the subtle power, Zheng Zha understood that his opponent was about to use his only advantage against him. Watching the military officers falling from the sky, Zheng Zha knew he had to finish the battle quickly.

The greatsword was raised high, and a relentless tide of crimson flames surged from the scorching air, all converging on the sword. The next moment, the greatsword changed its slashing motion to a striking motion, and a fiery arc sweeping across dozens of meters suddenly erupted.
