Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er arrived outside an abandoned factory, following the instructions they had received. The rusted iron gate, broken windows, and graffiti-covered walls resembled ghostly faces mocking the visitors in the night. In the distance, a few crows cawed eerily, adding to the ominous atmosphere.
"This place is as creepy as a horror movie set. That guy Nan Gong Xuan really has a unique taste," Lin Yuan said, rubbing his arms and inhaling deeply, catching a whiff of rust in the air. "Is our intel reliable? It wouldn't be a ploy to draw us out, would it?"
Su Jiu'er did not respond immediately. Instead, she pulled out an antique-looking pair of night vision goggles from her backpack and began to carefully observe their surroundings. The compass in her hand also began to spin gently, its needle trembling as if sensing something. "The intel is trustworthy, and I can feel a strong Spiritual Energy Fluctuation lingering here; it's unusual," she said seriously as she removed the goggles. "Be careful; there must be an ambush."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan perked up immediately. He pulled out a specially crafted peach wood sword from his delivery box, with a string of garlic hanging from its hilt. "Hehe, I love excitement! Bring on the storm!" His overly dramatic demeanor made Su Jiu'er roll her eyes.
"Stop joking around and stay alert!" Su Jiu'er snapped, pulling Lin Yuan behind a pile of abandoned shipping containers. The rusted containers emitted a sharp metallic odor that mixed with the decaying leaves around them, creating a peculiar scent.
Almost simultaneously, several shadows darted out from within the factory at astonishing speed, surrounding their previous location like cheetahs in the night. Dressed in tight black suits and wearing masks that revealed only their cold eyes, they wielded bizarre weapons that glinted menacingly.
"Quick reflexes; no wonder you're the director of the Qi Yun Investigation Bureau," a cold voice sneered. It belonged to Falcon, the elite Squad Captain of the Qi Gong Association. Tall and muscular, he stood like an iron tower exuding immense pressure.
"Oh look, it's Captain Falcon! Long time no see; your entrance is quite unique—feels like we're in a movie," Lin Yuan said as he peeked out from behind the container, appearing completely unfazed by the imminent danger. "So what's this? Are you treating us to a closed-door reception today?"
Falcon snorted disdainfully. "Still talking tough even when death is at your doorstep! Today is your end!" With a wave of his hand, his team launched an attack; various Lingqi skills rained down like a storm. Colorful orbs of light, sharp wind blades, and blazing fireballs intertwined into a deadly net that enveloped Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er.
Su Jiu'er summoned her compass, which emitted brilliant golden light to form a sturdy barrier that deflected most of the attacks. "Lin Yuan, their Cultivation Method is strange; it seems to be some new type of Lingqi application that's much stronger than any opponents we've faced before!" she warned while fending off attacks. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead, indicating the immense pressure she was under.
Lin Yuan activated his Gazing Ability to closely observe the flow of their enemies' Lingqi and discovered that their method was entirely different from traditional cultivation techniques; it seemed infused with some technological elements. The Lingqi flowed more rapidly and violently. "Interesting; it seems Nan Gong Xuan has invested quite a bit in tech cultivation—he's trying to merge technology with combat!" A cold smile crept onto Lin Yuan's face. "But such petty tricks dare to show off here!"
With determination in his eyes, he moved like a phantom through the dense attacks, dodging enemy strikes while searching for an opportunity to counterattack. He noticed that although these Qi Gong Association members had powerful techniques, they shared a critical weakness—their control over Lingqi was not precise enough, making them prone to openings and overly reliant on technology which hindered their mastery over their own Lingqi.
"Jiu'er, cover me!" Lin Yuan shouted lowly as he gathered a sphere of golden Lingqi in his hand that shone like a small sun and launched it at one of the team members.
Su Jiu'er understood immediately; with a flash of golden light from her compass, she disrupted the other team members' attacks, creating an excellent opportunity for Lin Yuan's strike. The golden light struck precisely at the opening of that team member's defense, sending him flying backward with a loud cry as he hit the ground hard.
"Nice job, Lin Yuan!" Su Jiu'er cheered excitedly as her pressure eased significantly.
"This is just the beginning!" Lin Yuan's eyes blazed with fighting spirit as he launched another attack. Utilizing his Gazing Ability, he clearly identified his enemy's weaknesses, delivering each strike with precision akin to a master butcher carving meat, each blow lethal.
Before long, several members of the Qi Gong Association were knocked down one by one, lying on the ground and wailing in agony.
Only the Falcon remained, his face pale and filled with shock and anger. He could hardly believe that a seemingly carefree delivery man possessed such formidable strength, easily defeating his elite squad.
"You... you actually..." The Falcon looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief, his tone laced with resentment.
"Surprised?" Lin Yuan mocked him, his eyes glinting with derision. "Now, it's your turn!"
At that moment, Lin Yuan caught a glimpse of a special device hanging from the Falcon's waist, flickering with a faint blue light.
"What is that?" Lin Yuan's heart raced as he recalled the information he had discovered earlier in Lingyu.
"Could it be..." A chill ran down Lin Yuan's spine as an ominous premonition washed over him.
Just as he was distracted, the Falcon suddenly surged forward, gathering a powerful Lingqi in his hand that shot towards Lin Yuan like a laser cannon.
"Not good!" Lin Yuan thought to himself, quickly dodging, but still felt the Lingqi graze him, a sharp pain erupting in his chest as blood soaked through his clothes.
"Haha, die!" The Falcon laughed maniacally and launched another attack.
In a critical moment, Su Jiu'er suddenly appeared, her compass glowing brilliantly to form a massive shield that blocked the Falcon's assault.
"Lin Yuan, be careful!" Su Jiu'er shouted anxiously, her eyes filled with concern.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, enduring the pain as he activated his Gazing Ability once more.
This time, he saw even more clearly that the device on the Falcon was the key to controlling the Lingyu Experiment!
"Now I understand!" Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with a glimmer of determination. "Hawkeye, your time is up!"
Lin Yuan charged at Hawkeye like a bolt of lightning, delivering a powerful punch that struck Hawkeye squarely in the chest.
With a pained scream, Hawkeye was sent flying, the device in his hand clattering to the ground.
Lin Yuan quickly picked up the device and examined it closely.
Suddenly, the device emitted a piercing alarm, its blue light flickering ominously as if it were about to explode.
"Not good, run!" Lin Yuan shouted, grabbing Su Jiu'er and sprinting away.
Just as they dashed out of the factory, the device erupted in a thunderous explosion, flames shooting into the sky and leveling the entire abandoned factory.
Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er stood at a distance, shaken as they watched the inferno engulfing the factory, their hearts filled with shock.
"That was close!" Lin Yuan said, still feeling the adrenaline rush.
"What did Hawkeye say before he died?" Su Jiu'er asked, her expression serious.
Lin Yuan's face changed. "He said... 'This is just the beginning'..."
