Chapter 217: Like A Whirlwind That Swept Everything Away—Violent Destruction

‘It’s a pity that the feathered serpent spirit only has gold potential. When the Tree of Heaven Punishment was advanced, it also gained benefits and upgraded to the early stage of a silver warlord, but it is only an elite silver warlord.’

Ordinary, elite, genius, top genius, super genius. These were the categories of one’s potential, as well as the division of the foundation when advancing.

100% was deemed ordinary, 300% referred to elites, 500% to geniuses, 1,000% to top geniuses, and anything above that referred to super-geniuses.

The highest potential of the feathered serpent spirit was only gold, which was at the level of an elite genius.

When Lin Yao was an Iron Person, as he was not as powerful, the feathered serpent spirit’s strength would take dominance when it merged with Lin Yao’s body. Therefore, Lin Yao’s strength back then was a peak warlord’s or elite peak warlord’s strength.

As Lin Yao transformed into a Silver Person with a 1,000% foundation, his body strength had also greatly improved, and he would take dominance during this fusion.

Unfortunately, because Lin Yao had a very strong foundation and could carry too much power, the fusion of the feathered serpent spirit, which was a beginner silver warlord, did not bring about a huge advancement for Lin Yao.

In fact, he even felt that his body was only at about 180% of the strength of a warlord after the fusion. Given the hypostasis after the superimposition of his three gold trees, his own limit was still at 1,500%. He could accommodate about 10 feathered serpent spirits to be able to advance to a silver warlord.

‘The feathered serpent spirit is just a transition after all. I hope to find something that can transform it.’

Lin Yao was dissatisfied with his changes, but this change had already shocked Yang Zheng and the rest. Thereafter, something that shocked them even more happened.

The power of the wind surrounded Lin Yao. It not only levitated him but also lifted them off the ground.

With the help of the strong wind, the group of people no longer moved slowly down the stairs. Instead, they started flying down to the first floor.

This speed scared a few of them, and the two captains and Police Officer Yang Zheng kept yelling.

“Slow down! Be careful! There are freaks around!”

“It’s dangerous!”

There were indeed freaks around. On their way down, a servant corpse broke into the house and appeared. Police Officer Yang Zheng and the rest had to deal with such monsters with caution.

However, the scene that followed shocked them completely. The danger was indeed there, but it was the servant corpse who needed to be worried.

There were many servant corpses, and they rushed toward Lin Yao one after another. However, as soon as they approached, thunderbolts scattered around, electrocuting the servant corpses in a row.

Lin Yao and the group sped forward, but the thunderbolt was even faster.

The thunder and lightning that radiated from Lin Yao turned into two dragons that twisted and rolled in front of them, destroying everything along the way. The thunderbolt cleared the path for them, and they hardly paused for a second as they moved forward.

In fact, while they were making their way downstairs, the freaks did not rush into the house to attack Lin Yao and his group. It was Lin Yao who took the initiative to attack them.

When they approached intact rooms, lightning would appear out of thin air, smashing the doors and completely blasting the freaks inside.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…

Roar…

Thunder and lightning, explosions, and the roars of monsters echoed in the surroundings, and Yang Zheng and the rest could hear them clearly. It was as if they were back on the battlefield.

No, this was the battlefield. It was a battle between Lin Yao and a building full of servant corpses, and the war ended with Lin Yao’s complete victory.

He was suspended in the air like a god, punishing the evildoers with thunder and lightning and dispelling all the evil spirits.

Due to Lin Yao’s powerful eruption and the support of the wind, they rushed downstairs to the place where people were heard fighting, and everything happened within a minute. Over there, they saw two people fighting in the distance.

They dashed forward at lightning speed, and the thunder and lightning brought about brutal violence and destruction. Yang Zheng, who had years of experience, felt as if he was dreaming.

“T-This…”

“We arrived within one minute. I thought it would take us several minutes to fight and kill the freaks.”

“As expected of a genius. It’s no wonder the corps went to great lengths to get us to invite him.”

Lin Yao’s powerful abilities shook Police Officer Yang Zheng and the other two soldiers to the core. Policewoman Lin Ru was even more shocked.

She was also a small genius. She had the abilities of an intermediate silver warlord at a young age. Of course, if that was all, she would not have had any bad feelings for Lin Yao.

However, when she’d met Lin Yao for the first time, he had not had a very good attitude due to his enlightenment. She’d also looked down on him because she had seen him being waited upon by four girls. She felt that he was a playboy and she was indignant, thinking that such a playboy was not worthy of so many resources.

Now, Lin Yao had aggressively slain the servant corpses while leading them downstairs. She could not help but fall for his charm and might. She had no complaints about Lin Yao getting to enjoy so many resources and having people to protect him.

Although the story of the hero saving the damsel in distress and the beauty falling in love with him was very clichéd, it was not outdated. Lin Yao might not have rescued Lin Ru with his own effort this time, but Lin Ru, who was still very young and inexperienced and had been through this helpless and desperate situation, was already very fearful and distressed.

In this desperate state, Lin Yao had stood up like a hero to turn the tide. There was no way she would not have a good impression of him.

“I feel so safe and assured.”

Young Lin Ru had been suddenly rescued from a desperate situation, so she could not help but blurt out her thoughts. Then, she felt four pairs of eyes glaring at her.

“…”

Lin Ru felt a little guilty upon feeling those four pairs of eyes glaring at her. Lin Yao did not have time for them. He concentrated hard on the 3D scene while killing the evil spirits. He moved forward and soon saw the two people who were there to protect him.

However, their situation was somewhat special.

The left-right reversal also affected them, making it difficult to engage in close combat. However, one of the two fighters had awakened the fire talent.

Scorching flames erupted around him, and his surroundings were ignited. The burning flames raged on without any need for him to control them. He only needed to watch out for dangers, and the burning flames could destroy everything around him.

When Lin Yao came to this floor, he found that most of the place was burning, and a large number of servant corpses had been burned to death, while many of them were covered in fire. Although they were struggling, they obviously could not survive long.

Fire and water were merciless, and the horror of the fire was vividly manifested at that moment.

Normally, the two people who had set fire to the building should not have been in danger, but that was not the case.

They had burned a lot of servant corpses to death, but there were not only corpses but also freaks there. They were also very unlucky to encounter a freak with the ability to restrain the flames.

The flames razed the building, which also resulted in endless black smoke. Right at the front, thick billowing smoke was mixed with some sparks, and they unexpectedly gathered to form a cloud of black-and-red smoke, while a twisted, vicious face would emerge from the black cloud from time to time.

It turned out to be a smoke freak. At that moment, the black-and-red cloud floated above the two fighters, descending upon them with all its strength.

“Cui Huo, cough cough… Let me be. You should go first.”

“Crap, I am not worried about you. Cough cough… I am going to kill this evil thing.”

“You, cough cough… There is endless smoke here. You can’t beat it… I, phew… I have inhaled too much black smoke, and my internal organs have been severely damaged. You can’t save me, so go!”

“Ah, scoundrel!”

One of them was seriously injured, and the other was still able to hold on. This was the situation that Cui Huo and his partner were facing.

Logically speaking, the smoke freak should not be comparable to the flames, but the current situation was different. When smoke and flames were combined, the result was fairly lethal.

What made Cui Huo even angrier was that this freak was very sinister.

It did not appear at the beginning. Since Cui Huo could not unleash his real abilities in close combat due to the left-right reversal and disordered space, he used flames to burn everything from anger. The freak then appeared and merged with the dense smoke produced by the burning debris.

When it first appeared, it also disguised itself as ordinary black flames.

It was normal to see thick smoke in a burning house. Therefore, Cui Huo and the other soldier did not think too much of it and went upstairs to rescue Lin Yao while setting the fire.

If there had been no left-right reversal and disordered space, as well as any of the endless servant corpses, the two of them might not necessarily have fallen for its tricks. Instead, they would have quickly passed through the flames and arrived upstairs.

However, they staggered due to the disordered space. Although the servant corpses were burned by the flames, those that were not completely burned would rush at them even when they were on fire. This was why they spent a lot of time fighting them.

They were delayed for a long time, and in the process, they inhaled several puffs of thick smoke.

The smoke freak was mixed with ordinary smoke, and they had inhaled mouthfuls of it into their bodies.

It would be uncomfortable to inhale the freak. However, they choked up and felt suffocated after inhaling the thick smoke. This confused their perception, and they mistook the discomfort for a normal reaction.

Cui Huo was resistant to flames. While the surrounding flames were burning, he felt okay and did not take a deep breath. The other soldier was not as lucky. He choked up when the flames were mixed with smoke, and he took multiple deep breaths and ended up feeling even more suffocated.

Although he felt that something was wrong after taking a few deep breaths, it was too late by then.

His body was corroded by smoke, and the smoke and flames complemented each other. While the flames were burning, the dense smoke would turn into thick fog. It not only corroded people but also had a high temperature.

The thick smoke that the serious-looking soldier inhaled was burning his internal organs in the meantime. Hence, he told Cui Huo that he was about to die and urged Cui Huo to escape by himself.

However, the untamed Cui Huo was unwilling to do so. He was madly stimulating the flames, wanting to kill the black-and-red smoke.

The pure flames would not produce smoke, but the fire he had set before had already spread and was burning the furniture everywhere. This incomplete combustion produced a lot of smoke, so it was a continuous supply of smoke for the smoke freak.

“Ahhhhh… You all… have to die…”

When the spiteful face of the smoke freak roared, a large amount of smoke also enveloped the flames.

Right now, the flames were not burning the smoke. Instead, the overwhelming smoke made the oxygen supply dwindle and in turn extinguished the flames.

“Leave… Ss… Ah!”

Even the vocal cords of the solemn-looking soldier were burned, and his whole body was so rotten that one could not make out his body shape.

Cui Huo’s teammate was seriously injured, but he was powerless. Instead, he had to abandon him and run away alone. Cui Huo was infuriated by his helplessness. He had encountered this situation before and had vowed never to do this again.

However, now that such a situation had happened again, he could only run away. He was in a state of anguish and extreme anger, as he felt that his teammate had ended up in this state due to the fire that he had ignited.

“Ah!!! Scoundrel, I am going to kill you!”

Boom!

Cui Huo was consumed by infinite anger and intended to perish along with the smoke freak.

Then, there was a roar of thunder, followed by the howling sound of the wind.

The dazzling lightning arrived first and penetrated the ball of black-red cloud and mist like a thunder god’s spear, electrocuting it and dissipating it. Endless resentment was smashed into ash by the Heavenly Thunder.

“Ah… Woohoo…”

The black smoke and fire fog whined. It could resist Cui Huo’s flames but was defenseless against Lin Yao’s thunder and lightning. After all, the Heavenly Thunder that contained the will of heaven was no joke.

However, there was dense smoke everywhere, and the black smoke soon recovered again before a huge amount of smoke rushed toward Lin Yao.

“Cover your nose and mouth and don’t breathe!”

Yang Zheng yelled out loud, addressing everyone. He was experienced in dealing with freaks.

However, in the end, his experience was still useless. The smoke, which had traces of sparks, did not approach Lin Yao at all.

A gust of wind whizzed out of his tempest wings.

Phew…

The gust of wind blew the burning building, turning it into a mess. Endless debris flew around, and even flames were blown away. The smoke was no exception.

The strong wind howled, and in a way, the wind could restrain the smoke.

Lin Yao controlled the violent wind to gather the flames, debris, and thick smoke into a ball, forming a huge tornado.

Then, Lin Yao’s eyes surged with lightning. The thunderbolt god’s marking on his forehead suddenly brightened, and his hair stood up.

This was the full release of thunder and lightning.

After fusing with the feathered serpent spirit, Lin Yao, who went all out, was terrifying.

Boom!

Like the god of thunder who had descended on the earth, he ejected countless blazing white bolts of lightning, and the successive lightning bolts fell crazily on the tornado, shattering everything inside.
