Chapter 1027
Li Xiao's Trial
Jonathan, craning his neck and looking distressed, shouted:
You have to help me out, little brother!
"Look at my outfit, not a single bit is spilled,"
"Can we at least make up for my fragile heart?"
"Could you please return that Midas ring to me first?"
Zhang Jie, who was drinking tea on the recliner next to him, spat it out with a "pfft" when he heard this.
Li Xiao slapped his forehead.
He knew Jonathan's nature wouldn't change.
He watched Saito without saying a word.
Jonathan continued, "If you won't give it to me, I'll lend it to you!"
"Let me use it for two years, and I'll give it to you when you come back next time, okay?"
Just as Saito was about to say something...
A familiar breeze suddenly blew by.
Jonathan, who had just been crying his heart out while hugging Saito, suddenly jumped up.
Then, like the most professional athletes, they ran inside.
The speed and reaction ability he displayed at that moment would earn him a thumbs up, not to mention Saito Hajime.
Li Xiao, whose lips were twitching, had only one thought.
If things continue like this, Jonathan might even unlock the genetic lock.
For Jonathan, this daily pursuit was like an enhanced version of Final Destination, but with a countdown.
Looking at the five Yellow Turban Warriors that appeared on the roof.
Saito Hajime, experiencing something like this for the first time, was still in a daze.
Li Xiao had already stood up and turned to the figure inside the room, saying:
"Brother Jie, don't make a move yet. The longest it can last is half an hour anyway, so let me give it a try."
"Didn't Chu Xuan say that the ancestor's intention was for us to adapt?"
"Perfect timing! I'll see just how strong these Yellow Turban warriors have become!"
After saying these two sentences...
A black flying sword shot out instantly.
Li Xiao's figure flashed past, catching up and then gripping the sword hilt.
It swept across the top of my head.
A faint white, sharp aura emanated from the blade.
But the two attacks that couldn't stop them before actually allowed them to stand still and withstand this attack.
Li squinted at the five-colored light shield that appeared in front of him.
I was somewhat surprised, but it was also to be expected.
"There's no wind attribute this time, so the five elements attribute is random again?"
"Moreover, this formation is part of a battle array!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp sound erupted from beneath Li Xiao's feet.
They reappeared on the rooftop.
He held the sword with one hand, the tip of the sword pointing downwards and upwards in an arc.
The original five-colored light shield actually changed its shape.
Upon seeing this, the air beneath Li Xiao's feet exploded once more, and he was already standing in front of the five Yellow Turban Warriors.
But then, with a flash of light...
These six figures disappeared from Saito Hajime's sight at the same time.
However, Zhang Jie spoke up.
"Look in the sky!"
"In a battle of this magnitude, the ground is no longer our home ground!"
"Otherwise, this town wouldn't be enough for them to cause trouble."
Saito looked up.
Only then did they realize that the five Yellow Turban Warriors seemed to possess the ability to change size.
Because compared to when they first appeared, they now resemble the sun in the sky.
Dazzling and enormous.
So much so that ordinary people throughout the town witnessed this battle, which was comparable to that of gods and demons.
However, compared to Saito Hajime and Zhang Jie, these ordinary people immediately knelt down upon seeing it.
They either kowtowed or prostrated themselves.
Let's leave aside those who pray to gods and Buddhas for now.
In the air, after a dazzling display.
boom! boom! boom!
Three loud bangs followed, and three enormous figures were blasted from the sky into the ground.
Looking at the craters blasted into the ground.
Li Xiao stood on the flying sword, breathing heavily.
But he only managed to catch his breath.
Two figures appeared out of thin air, one on the left and one on the right, and clapped their hands at Li Xiaoqi in the middle.
Two different types of attacks, flames and ice crystals, appeared simultaneously.
Li Xiao reacted the moment the two appeared, turning around and striking out with both palms.
Two bangs.
This time, however, it was him who was blasted to the ground.
Dust billowed everywhere, before anyone else could see what had happened to Li Xiao.
The three Yellow Turban warriors, who landed more easily, burst out of the pit and rushed towards Li Xiao.
Li Xiao hadn't expected that the five Yellow Turban Warriors, working together, could actually hold their own against him for several rounds.
Of course, this is under the premise of not using explosions and destruction.
Don't forget, even with these abilities, Li Xiao is still a genuine A-level enhanced individual.
The three enormous figures caused the surrounding air currents to churn continuously.
Amidst a gray dust cloud.
Activating the gene lock granted Li Xiao intuition, allowing him to know the location and methods of their attack without even looking.
"Oh!"
A leg shot out from the middle, hitting one of them before striking the other two figures with a powerful, curved motion.
With a muffled thud, Li Xiao vanished into the dust.
Saito, who was originally looking with his eyes, suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.
Before the three Yellow Turban warriors could stop flying, a loud whooshing sound pierced the air.
One of the Yellow Turban warriors suddenly roared and slammed his fist to the side, ignoring everything else.
Li Xiao's figure indeed appeared beneath this giant hand.
Feeling the power emanating from beneath his palm, Li Xiao exclaimed in amazement once again.
Instead of retreating, he advanced, stepping slightly onto the abdomen of the Yellow Turban Warrior.
Zhang Jie, who had already stood up in the courtyard, was surprised for a moment when he saw this scene.
Then he immediately put on a matter-of-fact expression.
In that instant, the giant hand grazed Li Xiao's body, narrowly missing him.
As Li Xiao got close, he spread his arms wide and lightly touched the Yellow Turban Warrior's neck, gently pulling him upwards.
Li Xiao placed his other foot on the back of the other person's hand, assumed a peculiar posture, and then clasped his hands together.
With a strange sound, the indistinct head was effortlessly ripped off.
This is because there is no physical body; otherwise, with just this one blow, not only would the head be torn out, but the spine would also be ripped out.
As a long-time rival, Li Xiao was naturally aware of the physical condition of these Yellow Turban warriors.
With a burst of strength, the head, which was gaping open, was crushed by a sudden, powerful blow.
But the absence of a head doesn't seem to have affected the body.
What were originally just decorations on the clothes began to flip up and reveal smaller heads the instant the head disappeared.
The sheer number of them made Li Xiao pause in surprise when he saw them up close.
And it was this moment of surprise that made it possible.
The two Yellow Turban warriors who were nearby ignored the presence of their "teammates" and simultaneously clenched their fists and slammed them down.
One fist turned into an iron fist, while the other became a rock.
In an instant, the headless Yellow Turban Warrior was smashed to pieces.
Li Xiao was hit and blasted away with a muffled thud. He flew through four or five houses like a cannonball before coming to a stop.
So much so that when Li Xiao got up, he actually saw some ordinary people on the outermost edge.
Their gazes toward Li Xiao were filled with an indescribable excitement.
Li Xiao patted the dust off his body.
Look back at the spot we just left.
The remaining four Yellow Turban warriors had regrouped.
Li Xiao said with a wry smile, "It seems it really is a stretch."
"Without using any props or skills, they still got beaten up so badly. Couldn't these ancestors have been a little gentler?!"
"But I feel okay!"
After he finished speaking to himself, Li Xiao began to hear the cracking sounds of his bones growing inside his body.
At the same time, the figure walking forward began to grow taller.
In just two or three steps, Li Xiao's height and build had transformed into that of a man with bulging muscles and bulging veins.
This look reminded Zhang Jie of a movie, in which there was a character called "Devil Muscle Man".
If Li Xiao knew Zhang Jie's idea, she would definitely say something.
You haven't met Zheng Zha, otherwise you would know what it means to be a great wizard compared to a small wizard.
Compared to the one with a single horn, wings, and runes all over its body, Li Xiao's appearance was only so-so.
Having not used the power of the gene lock for a long time, Li Xiao couldn't help but miss the feeling of power and control that he had in his body now.
This is completely different from an explosive state of explosion and destruction.
The power exerted by explosions and destruction is indeed immense.
But Li Xiao understood.
Compared to Zheng Zha, who is the creator, these two skills have no training effect on his own genetic lock.
On the contrary, because of this power, the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill he cultivated became merely a supporting element.
This further eliminated any possibility for Li Xiao to advance further.
Of course, all of the above are Li Xiao's choices.
Perhaps it's just as Chu Xuan said.
Whether it is true or not, on the path of genetic locking, the final result is that Li Xiao is already a step too late.
Back to the present.
Li Xiao took a step forward.
With a whooshing sound, the figure vanished.
One of the four Yellow Turban warriors who had just stood in a row opposite him was instantly sent flying backward.
Li Xiao, radiating a scorching aura, took his place and stood there.
"The Hunyuan Jin seems to be a little more coherent than before..."
Li Xiao looked down at his fist.
Then it dawned on me.
He said with a smile, "This is truly a case of 'a blessing in disguise'!"
The explosion and destruction did not actually advance Li Xiao's genetic lock any further.
However, it was continuously training and strengthening Li Xiao's body.
Both internal pressure and external stimuli have this effect.
So much so that at this moment...
Li Xiao, engrossed in his own conversation, completely ignored the attacks coming from the other three Yellow Turban Warriors.
Instead, he stood still, a thought forming in his mind.
The true energy began to circulate as if by instinct.
The figure instantly turned to gold.
The attack came simultaneously.
Three loud bangs.
Those who had been watching felt a jolt, and their hearing was almost completely lost.
Li Xiao, who was being attacked, suddenly lowered his head.
He looked at the flickering runes on his body and suddenly remembered something.
Isn't this the same thing that appeared on Zheng Zha's body in the last horror movie?
Although they are different, they are similar.
"...All paths lead to the same destination. Is this what Chu Xuan is trying to express?"
As he spoke, Li Xiao reached his hand behind him.
The Yellow Turban Warrior who had just been knocked away suddenly reappeared out of thin air, but before he could react, Li Xiao slapped him away again with one hand.
It tumbled in the air and was then thrown to one side.
This attack was less powerful than an explosion, and far less powerful than Li Xiao in his destroyed state.
The problem is that this force has undergone a qualitative change compared to just a few seconds ago.
Li Xiao's figure never stopped.
Li Xiao unleashed a variety of martial arts techniques that he had previously used but had abandoned.
After only a moment of stiffness, Li Xiao regained his former feeling, and even took it a step further.
He did not pursue the Yellow Turban Warrior who had been sent flying; instead, he stood still and slowly closed his eyes.
The residual energy fluctuations in the air had not yet dissipated when the attacks of the other three Yellow Turban Warriors came at him once again.
Spears formed from flames, chains formed from ice crystals, and giant hammers formed from rocks.
They sealed off all evasive options from three directions.
But this time, Li Xiao still didn't dodge or even move.
"Ding—Buzz—"
When three completely different forces collided simultaneously with the layer of light and dark golden runes on Li Xiao's body.
It emitted a long, resonant sound, like the tolling of an ancient bell.
The runes flickered violently but did not shatter. Instead, they absorbed and transformed the power of fire, frost, and rock, circulating it through Li Xiao's meridians before finally bursting forth from beneath his feet.
Upon seeing this, Saito exclaimed in surprise, "This... is a self-created skill?"
Zhang Jie appeared beside this person at some point.
"No, that's not all. It's just a technique for deflecting and converting force, but this technique is already very subtle."
"No, even the most meticulous people might not be able to do it."
That was just the beginning.
"boom!"
Centered on Li Xiao, the ground collapsed in a ring shape and then quickly rose up.
A wave of air mixed with gray dust suddenly swept out, forcefully pushing the three Yellow Turban Warriors more than ten meters away.
As the dust settled, the golden runes on Li Xiao's body not only did not dim in the slightest, but instead became even more solid.
"I see……"
Li Xiao opened his eyes, a knowing glint in them.
"Indestructible is not simply about defense, but about 'digestion'."
At this moment, Li Xiao recalled the theory that Chu Xuan mentioned when analyzing Zheng Zha's "destruction".
The essence of using higher-level energy is not confrontation or rejection, but guidance and transformation.
He previously relied on "explosion" and "destruction" to forcibly increase output, then used his indestructible body to create a sealed environment, and then generated pressure.
Although this was successful, there was still a barrier. Now, under the continuous attack and hammering of the Yellow Turban Warrior's Five Elements Power, coupled with his own deep control over the third-order gene lock, that barrier seems to have been broken.
"Brother Jie."
Li Xiao shouted without turning his head, his voice carrying clearly into the courtyard with the support of his true energy.
"Please keep track of the time and see how long this complete cycle of 'digesting' the shock will take."
After saying that, he removed the cumbersome AI from his body and threw it off the battlefield.
Zhang Jie raised an eyebrow and took a sip of the teacup he had been holding:
"Okay, go ahead and play. I'll be your timer."
"But are you sure you want to keep letting them come? These four are back on their feet."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Yellow Turban Warrior who had been sent flying burst out of the ruins and rejoined the other three.
This time, they did not rush to attack, but instead formed a certain formation once again.
Five-colored rays of light (although they lacked the attribute corresponding to the Yellow Turban Warrior, it had no effect) flowed and intertwined among them, and their momentum began to rise layer by layer.
Li Xiao smiled upon seeing this. (End of Chapter)
