Chapter 16: A Counterattack from the Brink of Despair!
"A feigned attack?"
Qin Bing was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Fan who was engulfed in flames and in great pain, and for a moment she could not understand Su Chen's instructions.
This is clearly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance to strike and kill!
Why launch a feint attack?
"Execute the command!"
Su Chen's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable authority.
Qin Bing gritted her teeth.
Although she was filled with doubts, she chose to carry it out immediately because of her almost blind trust in Su Chen.
"Open fire! Turn him into a sieve!"
"yes!"
"Da da da da!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The psionic weapons in the hands of dozens of special forces soldiers were instantly unleashed.
Blue energy beams, mixed with ice spikes and wind blades, poured down like a torrential rain towards Xiao Fan in the center of the hall.
"Hahaha...Well done!"
Enveloped in flames, Xiao Fan suddenly burst into a maniacal laugh.
He suddenly opened his eyes, which had turned pure gold.
"You ants think you can hurt me?!"
He roared, and golden flames shot up from his body, forming a huge fire tornado.
He devoured and melted all the attacks aimed at him!
Violent energy raged within the hall, causing the entire space to tremble violently.
"Oh no! He's about to self-destruct! Retreat!"
Qin Bing's expression changed, and she shouted, while quickly making a hand gesture to the elite team beside her.
The members of the elite team understood immediately and instructed the other members to pretend to retreat.
While attracting Xiao Fan's attention, she quietly withdrew from the main hall and sped towards the coordinates specified by Su Chen.
The very next second after they left.
Boom!!!
Inside the Hall of Inheritance, the golden tornado of flames suddenly exploded!
A terrifying energy shockwave, like a tsunami, swept out in all directions!
The entire site seemed to tremble because of the explosion.
Qin Bing and the others, who had just evacuated from the main hall, were directly blown away by the shockwave and crashed heavily into the wall of the passage.
"puff--"
Qin Bing felt a sweet taste in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Fortunately, the rune armor protected him, preventing him from suffering fatal damage.
"Su Chen is right!"
She finally realized that Xiao Fan was trying to lure her into a trap.
She was also holding a strange device in her hand, which looked like a vacuum cleaner.
That's a psionic collector.
Su Chen gave her a secret weapon before the operation began.
The purpose is to prevent the current situation from occurring:
If Xiao Fan does manage to escape through some means, we must still squeeze some profit out of him and from the Yan Emperor's inheritance!
During the massive explosion just now, this instrument successfully collected a large amount of energy samples and combat data from the "Emperor's Flame".
These things are priceless treasures to the Academy of Sciences!
Struggling to his feet, he looked at the Hall of Inheritance, which had become a sea of fire and was constantly collapsing rocks.
Qin Bing sprang into action, rushing toward the fork in the road leading to the secret exit.
Deep within the ruins
In a very hidden, narrow, dark passage covered with dust and cobwebs.
Xiao Fan's figure was staggering forward as he ran wildly.
His face was somewhat pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Although his self-destruction was intentional, it consumed some of the power he had just absorbed, causing him serious internal injuries.
Unfortunately, the female cop didn't fall for it!
But his eyes were filled with the excitement and pride of surviving a disaster.
[Haha! It worked!]
You bunch of stupid pigs from China would never have dreamed I had this trick up my sleeve!
[Once I find a place to completely digest the core power of Emperor Yan's legacy, that will be your death day!]
"At that time, I will make you all kneel at my feet, wishing you were dead!"
He could almost see himself ruling the world, crushing all his enemies under his feet, and he couldn't help but let out a triumphant laugh.
At the end of the dark passage, a faint light could already be seen.
That's the exit!
Once you break free, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap and the sky is high enough for birds to fly!
He quickened his pace, using the last bit of strength, and dashed out!
However, when he rushed out of the cave and breathed in the first breath of the cold, fresh air of the Kunlun Mountains...
But the smile on his face, and his whole being, froze instantly.
Outside the cave entrance was a wide expanse of snow.
On the snow, Qin Bing's elite team of more than a dozen people had been waiting for a long time.
They formed a semi-circular encirclement, with a dozen or so dark psionic gun barrels pointed directly at him.
The one leading them was Qin Bing.
She stood at the very front of the group, her black combat uniform standing out starkly against the white snow.
Her cold, beautiful face was expressionless; only her eyes seemed to be looking at a dead person.
"What?"
"How is that possible???"
The smugness on Xiao Fan's face gradually faded.
Instead, there was endless astonishment, and an extreme sense of anger and humiliation at being mocked.
He didn't understand.
He discovered this secret passage by chance in his previous life, and no one else could possibly know about it except himself!
Why?
Why are they here?
It was as if they already knew they would come out of here.
Is it...
A chilling thought popped into his mind.
That "ghost"!
That mysterious "ghost" can not only see his plans, but even see through his thoughts!
All his schemes and backup plans were like a transparent joke in the face of that "ghost"!
"No...impossible!"
Xiao Fan let out a roar of resentment.
"Grab him!"
Qin Bing gave him no chance to breathe, her cold voice issuing her final ultimatum.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
More than a dozen blue psionic beams, coming from different angles, intertwined to form a deadly net, blocking all of Xiao Fan's escape routes!
Desperate situation!
A complete and utter dead end!
As Xiao Fan looked at the approaching beam of death and felt the emptiness within his body, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes for the first time.
Could it be that I, Emperor Yan Xiao Fan, am going to die here before I even have a chance to show my true abilities after being reborn?
Do not!
I can't die!
I haven't taken my revenge yet! I haven't yet reigned supreme!
"Trying to arrest me?!"
"Maybe in the next life!!!"
At the final moment of life and death, Xiao Fan's eyes erupted with unparalleled madness and ruthlessness!
He no longer hides, nor does he hold back!
He released all of the few, most essential Flame Emperor Flames that he had absorbed into his body without reservation!
"roar!!!"
A dragon's roar, seemingly from the ancient primordial era, erupted from his body!
The next second, golden flames erupted like a flood bursting its banks, like a volcano erupting.
Centered on him, it swept out in all directions!
That wasn't an ordinary flame!
That's Di Yan!
It is the supreme divine fire that the ancient Emperor Yan used to burn the heavens and boil the seas!
The terrifyingly high temperature instantly evaporated the surrounding ice and snow!
Even the hardest rocks began to melt at a visible speed in the face of these golden flames, turning into crimson magma!
In that instant, the entire snowfield seemed to transform into a giant steel furnace!
The psionic beams aimed at him vanished the moment they touched the golden flames, like mud sinking into the sea, without even a ripple!
"What?"
Qin Bing and her team members were all stunned.
The moment their runic armor came into contact with the heat wave, the runes on its surface began to flicker wildly, and the energy readings dropped at an alarming rate!
The alarm blared piercingly!
"Oh no! Retreat immediately!"
Qin Bing's expression changed drastically; she had underestimated the power of the Yan Emperor's inheritance!
Even a small portion of the core power released was already terrifying!
If we let him absorb it completely, what would happen?
However, it was too late for them to back down.
The golden sea of fire had completely surrounded them!
