Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 367 Iron Rain
A metallic whistled past Zhan Lan, stirring up a metallic wind that reeked of blood.

The Demon Team's mental controller is definitely not weak. Although his mental strength is not as high as Zhan Lan's, his proficiency in controlling metal is not something Zhan Lan can easily deal with.

If someone's mental strength were significantly weaker than Zhan Lan's, or if they were less skilled at controlling metal, Zhan Lan could easily sever the metal control. However, the problem is that, given Zhan Lan's abilities, overwhelming Tom in that way would be asking too much. Therefore, she only used psionic shocks or minor interference with her mental strength.

Although there is a mental barrier, this is a trump card used for counterattack... As long as the demon team does not directly invade Zhan Lan's mind and try to exchange blows with her, this trump card will not be revealed.

Their mental clash occurred silently, seemingly unnoticed except for their intense gazes and sweaty brows; yet to onlookers, their battle was dazzling. The light of purifying psionic energy and the cold gleam of various metallic aggregates enveloped the two psychic controllers.

Due to the hidden agendas of both sides' sages... the mental controllers, who should have stayed away from the front lines, ended up colliding in this way.

Zhan Lan's bewildered eyes were filled with orange-red light. Although she had the time and energy, she still needed to expend some effort to disguise her mental state in order to ensure that Tom could fight her to a draw. The orange-red light, gushing like a spring, also surrounded her body, occasionally transforming into surging streams of light that rushed towards Tom on the other side.

Seeing his long-planned sneak attack fail, Tom took a deep breath, and visible veins appeared on his face and the back of his hands. While his metal control was powerful, the load was also considerable. Fortunately, after unlocking the second-tier gene lock, his load capacity increased several times over. Under his deliberate control, the load of his metal control actually balanced with the physical expansion resulting from unlocking the second-tier gene lock.

Zhan Lan sensed that Tom's aura had strengthened slightly, but this feeling vanished instantly... clearly concealed by Tom's mental power. After asking Mu Xiang in her mind, she finally confirmed that Tom had entered the second-tier gene lock state.

"Looks like my suppression was effective..." Zhan Lan thought to herself, "What's next?"

A torrential downpour of iron rain erupted at this moment, and the metal disc that had been hanging above Tom's head suddenly exploded, turning into countless sharp fragments that flew towards Zhan Lan.

Zhan Lan had to admit that when the truck was levitating, she really wanted to unleash her mental power to sever Tom's metal control and have him crushed to death by the behemoth above his head... but she didn't do it, so the truck was crushed into a pancake, and that's how the scene we see today came about.

"Go!" she shouted, and a visible wave of energy erupted from the orange-red light around her, like a surging wave in a spring, directly meeting the rain of iron rain.

Most of the metal fragments paled in comparison to the psionic lash, their sharp, cold gleam vanishing the instant the mental connection was severed. Then, as if stripped of all energy, the fragments fell limply downwards.

However, before being knocked down, the metal fragments on one side turned at an impossible angle and instantly coalesced into a spear, which flew towards Long Taobing, who was flanking nearby!
Long Taobing chuckled, and the True Word Technique Shield appeared, causing the evil eye's gale to rise in reverse.

He wasn't a primary combatant; even with his familiarity with the Evil Eye, he was merely a C-rank accessory... It was impossible for him to completely block Tom's attack.

Half of the spear was scraped off, and then the entire spear pierced Long Taobing's body. But he was completely unharmed, and even his protective gear wasn't activated... The light shield that appeared on his body completely blocked the attack.

The next moment, a strange surge of energy made Tom's heart tighten. He hurriedly dodged backward, and several metal fragments shot forward. He didn't possess ordinary supernatural energy; what he used was the mental energy unique to mental controllers. This surge of energy was completely illogical!
Long Taobing smiled smugly, while Zhan Lan summoned her psionic light blades, her body suddenly expanding. The orange-red light blades in Zhan Lan's hands slashed through the darkness as she pressed forward, launching a fierce attack on Tom.

This made Long Taobing break out in a sweat. It was all Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha's fault. Ever since Zhan Lan unlocked her second-stage gene lock, they had given her a little guidance... and as a result, Zhan Lan seemed to have had a certain interest activated.

Tom was hit by Long Taobing's Mana Burn, and his mental energy inexplicably drained while blood seeped from his skin. He thought he had overexerted himself and forcibly increased his muscle strength, but he still couldn't stop the effect. However, the damage from Mana Burn wasn't very high. What was most disadvantageous for him was the shift in the balance of power; the initiative he had finally gained was snatched away by Zhan Lan.

The psionic blade on Zhan Lan's arm cleaved through the iron curtain that Tom had summoned in front of her. But when she saw the fierce glint in Tom's eyes, she revealed a mischievous smile.

A ring on her finger lit up, and a skill that hadn't been used in a long time was activated.

Resist the ring of fire!

Tom, about to unleash his trump card, was sent flying by the spreading ring of fire. With a roar, four iron spikes that surged from his back missed their target and clashed violently in front of him. However, these spikes, formed from iron filings, didn't produce a metallic clang or sparks; instead, they fused together.

The intersection of the four iron spikes expanded in the next moment, then exploded into countless fragments.

Zhan Lan stepped back and slapped away the fragments that were flying towards her with a light blade. She thought to herself, "So he really had a backup plan..." If she hadn't deliberately tricked him, she probably would have been hit directly.

Tom was shoved against a wall by the ring of fire. He wasn't injured, but he was furious. Just then, Xu Lin's airburst shotgun, which he had been preparing to fire, arrived and exploded right above the wall, scattering a burst of cold light that hit Tom squarely.

Clearly, Tom's metal control is not yet at the level where he can ignore all metal attacks, and it is impossible for him to control all these bullets instantly.

Despite having protective gear, Tom was still overwhelmed by the coordinated attacks of the three members of the Central Continent team. He was a little confused... How did it turn into him fighting against so many?
Fortunately, it wouldn't be easy for the three of them to kill him. He could only hope that Li Xiaoyi and Peng Qiu would step up and do something that would affect these guys.

Whether it was his inner urging that worked or not, the half-torn true energy grid above his head was repaired, and seven more monsters, each with a different appearance and a framework made of electricity, appeared. They let out silent roars and fell down, two heading towards Peng Qiu's battlefield on the other side, while five fell into the sea of ​​blood here.

As the five blood witches fully materialized in the sea of ​​blood, they roared and charged toward Zhan Lan and the others.

The next moment, six blinding beams of telekinetic energy knocked them away. Although they didn't shatter directly, their newly born momentum was weakened.

Zhan Lan looked up at Zhang Heng: "We have enough manpower here, go and support Ying Kong and the others!"

"Damn, you're that strong?" Zhang Heng exclaimed, as a drone shot towards Tom, forcing him to roll to the side. The drone then swung back to Long Taobing's feet.

As Long Taobing stepped on it, holy light immediately enveloped Zhang Heng's body, replenishing his lost life force. The two exchanged a glance, and the six telekinetic floating cannons once again entered high-speed flight mode, shooting southward.
