They traveled through time at the same time, but the villainous scientist

Chapter 518 A critical moment

The two figures stood there, one as burly as a mountain, the other as sinister as an eagle. The murderous aura emanating from them mingled with the cold, rusty smell of the factory, creating a suffocating sense of oppression.

The next moment, the muscular man, who was over two meters tall, moved.

He didn't use any fancy skills, but simply let out a beast-like growl and bent down to grab the base of a nearby abandoned heavy lathe.

With a sickening metallic twisting sound, he ripped the several-ton steel structure off the ground.

His bulging muscles bulged in the dim light, exuding an explosive sense of power.

With veins bulging on his arms, he used his waist and abdomen to hurl the huge lathe at the location of the Zhongzhou team!

Wow! That's quite a warm greeting!

Seeing this, the overlord cursed angrily, showing no sign of backing down.

The Gauss pulse cannon he carried on his shoulder was already preheated, and without thinking, he pulled the trigger when faced with the roaring steel behemoth.

Accompanied by a series of dull and rapid electromagnetic excitation sounds.

Countless beams of dark blue light shot out at speeds imperceptible to the naked eye, precisely striking the lathe in mid-air.

That sturdy cast iron shell was as fragile as a biscuit against a supersonic kinetic energy projectile.
With a series of dull, piercing sounds, the massive lathe was torn in two in mid-air.

Blinding sparks flashed from the broken edge, and it continued to hurtle toward the crowd with unparalleled kinetic energy.

However, at the very moment the lathe was torn apart.

The middle-aged man with a hooked nose and a thick beard standing next to the burly man emitted a faint mechanical whirring sound.

The clothes on his chest and arms were stretched open by internal mechanisms, revealing dark cannon barrels.

The next instant, the miniature missiles, trailing pale red flames, roared and caught up with the two halves of the lathe wreckage like a swarm of bees.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A violent series of explosions occurred in mid-air, and the flames and shockwaves completely blasted the two halves of the lathe into countless burning fragments.

These fragments, carrying the force of the explosion, transformed into a vast rain of steel, pouring down upon the Zhongzhou team.

The scorching heat and the aura of death caused the newcomers to instantly break down, letting out terrified screams.

At this critical moment, Li Shuaixi, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward, and a soft white light shone from the tip of the seemingly ancient staff in his hand.

He chanted obscure incantations in a low voice, and a semi-transparent magical barrier instantly opened, like a giant umbrella, enveloping everyone inside.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"

Countless burning metal fragments crashed against the barrier, creating ripples of energy, but they could not break through this seemingly weak defense.

The flames were kept out, and the shockwaves were completely blocked.

Just as the explosion's flames were at their most dazzling, drawing everyone's attention, a ghostly black shadow moved.

Zhao Yingkong's figure was stretched into a blurry straight line in the shadow of the explosion, and the two daggers in her hands flashed with a cold glint in the firelight.

Her target was crystal clear: the muscular man who had just displayed terrifying strength. She aimed her dagger straight for his throat and heart.

This is the assassin's creed: one strike, one kill.

However, just as the dagger was about to touch the other person's skin, Zhao Yingkong's hair stood on end.

It was a chilling feeling of being targeted by her own kind that abruptly halted her forward momentum.

Without the slightest hesitation, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and flipped backward like a weightless feather, creating distance with incredible flexibility before disappearing into the shadows at the other end of the factory.

Almost at the same moment she left her spot, several streaks of cold light, shimmering like crystals, silently pierced the air and precisely landed where she had just appeared.

Those were several exquisitely designed and extremely sharp scalpels.

"Arot, mind your own business."

The muscular man, seeing his prey escape, turned his head with displeasure and looked at a blond man who emerged from the shadows on the other side.

The man was dressed as a doctor, wearing a spotless white coat.

"Ha, you idiot."

Upon hearing this, the doctor known as Arot curled his lips into a mocking smile.

"I was saving you just now."

If I'm not mistaken, that little girl just now should be from an assassin family..."

"so what?"

The muscular man snorted dismissively, clenching his fist, which was as big as a clay pot, causing his knuckles to crack repeatedly.

"Do you think those two daggers can break through my [Muscle Armor]?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a visible black energy fluctuation emanated from his body. It was neither internal energy nor magic, but a demonic power filled with violence and destruction.

Driven by this demonic power, the muscles on his body began to expand and writhe in a way that defied common sense in physiology, eventually making him look as if he were wearing a biological armor made of pure muscle.

Then, he slammed his fist into the concrete ground beneath his feet.

"boom!"

Spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly from his fist, shaking the entire factory floor.

At the same time, the bearded cyborg sneered and activated the detonator.

"Rumble--"

More violent explosions came from all directions; they had already buried a large number of high explosives in the load-bearing columns of the factory.

With a series of explosions, the reinforced concrete pillars supporting the massive building snapped one by one, and the entire abandoned factory began its spectacular collapse after a painful groan.

Steel beams, cement blocks, various abandoned machinery and equipment... countless tons of rubble rained down on the heads of the Zhongzhou team members like a landslide and tsunami.

……

Inside a luxury hotel suite in Cairo.

The young monk had his eyes closed, but a knowing smile played on his lips.

Through the mental link, Xuenai clearly visualized everything that happened inside the factory in his mind.

The overwhelming strength of the muscular giants, the firepower of the cyborgs, and the trap that finally detonates the entire factory... each element is perfectly linked to the next.

"Heh, it seems we've won, Xuenai."

The young monk spoke to the girl beside him with a hint of smugness in his voice.

"In modern warfare, intelligence is everything."

The moment you easily defeated the mental controller of the Central State team, their defeat was sealed.

Without eyes and ears, they're just a swarm of headless flies, completely at our mercy.

In his view, the most crucial clash in this team fight has ended.

They have an absolute advantage in information; victory is only a matter of time.

However, the girl Xue Nai beside him showed no joy on her fair, almost translucent face.

The moment Adiya finished speaking, Xuenai's body trembled violently, and her sapphire blue pupils suddenly contracted.

She seemed to sense something extremely terrifying and suddenly raised her head.

"how……"

Just as Adiya frowned, an unprecedented, intensely powerful killing intent, as blazing as the sun, descended from the sky and instantly locked onto the entire room!

That killing intent was so pure, so domineering...

The next moment, the suite's sturdy floor-to-ceiling windows, along with the entire wall, shattered with a deafening roar!

A violent gust of air swept in shards of glass, and a figure, bathed in the cool moonlight, appeared at the broken opening like a divine warrior descending from the heavens.

He was a young man with black hair and black eyes, holding a huge blade with a ferocious and domineering shape and an amber luster. His whole body was burning with almost boiling blood-red flames.

It was Zheng Zha!

Without the slightest hesitation, and without any unnecessary words.

The moment he appeared, Zheng Zha's gene lock had already been activated to the third stage!

From his perspective, the whole world seemed to be in slow motion.

The frozen expressions on Adiya and Xuena's faces inside the room, and every speck of dust dancing in the air, were crystal clear.

The powerful internal energy within his body, like a flood bursting its banks, circulated wildly along specific meridians, pouring entirely into the [Tiger Soul] in his hand!
He gripped the sword with both hands and, facing the girl in the room dressed in a gorgeous sari, used all his strength to unleash the sword technique he had already mastered!
"Five Tigers Severing the Gate Saber!"

This strike, without any spectacular special effects, contained a terrifying power that returned to simplicity.

Wherever the blade passed, the air was compressed into a solid mass, emitting a shrill, mournful whistle.

All the power and killing intent were concentrated in this one strike, with only one target—the mental controller of the Indian team!
"How can it be?!"

Feeling the power of the attack, the young monk's composure and pride were instantly replaced by horror and disbelief.

In a flash, countless conflicting thoughts exploded in his mind.

The amber-colored, menacing giant blade, judging solely from the ferocious aura it exuded, was definitely a B-grade, or even higher, magical legendary weapon!
How could a member whom he judged as "feed" in the "breeding team" possibly possess such powerful equipment?
But what he couldn't understand even more was... how did they find this place?!

He deliberately chose to stay away from the battlefield for this ambush.

Logically speaking, since Xuenai had already "defeated" the opponent's mental controller, they should have completely lost the coordinates of the Indian team!
Why... why was this man able to descend from the sky with such precision and launch such a devastating attack?
Could it be that the mental controller on the other side... was acting from the very beginning?!
