In the abandoned factory district, at two in the morning, the cold wind sliced through the ruins like a rusty knife, emitting a mournful sound. The air was thick with the scent of machine oil and rust, mingled with a faint hint of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, heralding an impending storm.
Lin Yuan's squad of five lay in wait like agile night owls, hidden in the shadows. Each held their breath, yet their heartbeats rang out clearly in the stillness of the night. The surrounding abandoned machinery cast bizarre shadows under the dim moonlight, as if harboring unknown dangers.
"This Nan Gong Xuan sure knows how to make an entrance. If someone didn’t know better, they might think he was throwing a concert here," Zhou Haoran whispered, pointing toward the brightly lit factory with an air of excitement mixed with teasing, as if he had discovered a new world.
Inside and outside the factory, Nan Gong Xuan's technologically armed forces stood ready. A dozen figures clad in black combat gear moved like ghosts within, wielding weapons that glinted ominously—clearly not products of Earth’s technology. Laser Guns, Energy Cannons, and several individuals shouldering exaggerated plasma weapons resembled futuristic warriors straight out of a Science Fiction Movie, patrolling the area with vigilance.
"Looks high-tech. I wonder if anything will drop when the fighting starts—maybe some legendary +10 Dragon-Slaying Sword or something," Lin Yuan mused while stroking his chin, his eyes sparkling as if he were exploring a game dungeon, practically rubbing his hands together in anticipation of opening treasure chests. He thought about how impressive it would be to bring back some high-tech gear to surprise Su Jiu'er.
"Boss, this is a tense moment for battle; can you be serious? Do you think we’re playing a game? Equipment doesn’t just drop!" Su Jiu'er sighed in exasperation, facepalming. It was unbelievable that at such a critical time, he was still thinking about loot. She really wanted to knock on Lin Yuan's head to see what was going on inside.
"Ahem, I’m just trying to lighten the mood; tension can lead to constipation—definitely not good for combat performance," Lin Yuan coughed lightly and said earnestly, "Everyone stay alert; Nan Gong Xuan isn’t to be underestimated. His tech is no joke; one slip-up and we might as well be remade from scratch."
Before he could finish speaking, the factory doors swung open abruptly, revealing Nan Gong Xuan before them. Clad in silver battle armor that shimmered under the lights, he strode forward with two burly men carrying massive Energy Cannons behind him, reminiscent of an ancient emperor on parade—his presence was nothing short of imposing. He approached Lin Yuan's squad with steady steps, confidence and arrogance radiating from his gaze.
"Lin Yuan, we meet again. I didn’t expect you to come knocking so soon; I thought you’d hide for a few more days," Nan Gong Xuan said mockingly, as if everything was under his control. A smirk curled at the corners of his mouth.
"Yeah, I didn’t expect it either. But I'm not here to die; I'm here to send you back home," Lin Yuan shrugged casually as if chatting with an old friend. "Looks like you’re eager to hand over some gear; I truly appreciate it."
Nan Gong Xuan scoffed coldly. "Hand over gear? You must be dreaming! Today, I’ll show you what true power is! You’ll learn that the power of technology is invincible!"
With a command given, battle erupted instantly. Laser Beams, Energy Cannons, and plasma beams surged forth like there was no tomorrow, raining down upon Lin Yuan's squad. A kaleidoscope of energy beams intertwined to form a massive Light Net that enveloped the entire abandoned factory district.
Members of the Squad scattered in all directions, and Zhou Haoran unleashed his latest invention—the High-Tech Defense Barrier. A translucent energy shield instantly expanded, blocking all incoming energy attacks. The surface of the shield shimmered with ripples, as if it could shatter at any moment.
"Boss, I can't hold on much longer! The firepower is too intense! My defense barrier is about to give out; it feels like I'm taking laser fire to the face!" Zhou Haoran's voice was tinged with panic. Although the defense barrier was impressive, it couldn’t withstand the relentless bombardment from the enemy. He struggled to maintain the barrier while calling for help.
"Don't panic, watch me!" Lin Yuan shouted, activating his Time Manipulator!
Time seemed to freeze as the incoming energy beams hung suspended in mid-air, like fireflies caught in a spell, flickering with eerie light. Lin Yuan moved swiftly through the stillness, a ghostly figure weaving through the enemy ranks.
"Now's my chance!" Lin Yuan seized the moment, darting into the fray. His fists and feet moved like the wind, sending future warriors tumbling and fleeing for cover. Each punch was infused with powerful Lingqi, capable of tearing through steel.
Seeing this, Nan Gong Xuan's expression darkened as he took to the battlefield himself. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, unleashing a surge of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation that erupted from his body, transforming into swirling Data Streams that encircled him like a Cyber Warrior. The Data Streams shifted shapes constantly, sometimes resembling colossal dragons and other times fierce tigers, exuding a sense of technological might.
"Lin Yuan, show me what you've got! Let’s see if your Time-Space Manipulation can withstand my Data-Infused Qi Gong!" Nan Gong Xuan bellowed as he charged at Lin Yuan.
The two clashed instantly, exchanging blows in a dazzling display of skill. Lin Yuan's Time-Space Manipulation collided with Nan Gong Xuan's High-Tech Qi Gong, sparking waves of Spirit Energy Storms that obliterated surrounding structures. The walls and floors of the abandoned factory were blasted into massive craters by energy Shockwaves, dust swirling up to obscure the sky.
As the battle intensified, Lin Yuan began to feel overwhelmed. Nan Gong Xuan's High-Tech Qi Gong was exceptionally powerful, and his Brain-Computer Interface technology allowed him to predict Lin Yuan's attacks, making it difficult for Lin Yuan to utilize his Time-Space Manipulation effectively. He felt his body growing heavier and his breath becoming more labored.
"Boss, watch out!" Su Jiu'er suddenly warned.
Lin Yuan quickly dodged just in time to see Nan Gong Xuan conjure an Energy Lightsaber in his hand. The blade shimmered with blinding light as it swung toward Lin Yuan. The Energy Lightsaber sliced through the air with a sharp whistle, as if it aimed to tear apart space itself.
In a critical moment, Su Jiu'er manipulated her Lingqi to form a barrier that intercepted Nan Gong Xuan's attack. The surface of the barrier rippled but ultimately held firm against the onslaught of the Energy Lightsaber.
“Thank you, Jiu'er!” Lin Yuan said gratefully as he glanced at Su Jiu'er.
“Stop talking and finish the fight!” Su Jiu'er replied coldly. “I sense that Nan Gong Xuan's weakness lies in his Brain-Computer Interface. If we can destroy it, he will lose his combat ability!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan felt a surge of determination. He activated the Time Manipulator again, slowing down the flow of time, and aimed for Nan Gong Xuan's Brain-Computer Interface, delivering a powerful punch!
Nan Gong Xuan was caught off guard; the Brain-Computer Interface was struck and instantly malfunctioned, leaving him sprawled on the ground. His body twitched a few times, his gaze becoming increasingly vacant, and the Energy Lightsaber in his hand vanished.
“You... you actually...” Nan Gong Xuan looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief, his eyes filled with resentment.
“Sorry, but the outcome is clear,” Lin Yuan said with a faint smile. “You lost.”
Just then, the ground suddenly shook as a massive Lingqi Vortex appeared in the center of the factory, emanating a chilling aura.
“This is bad; it's a Lingqi trap!” Su Jiu'er exclaimed, her expression changing drastically. “Nan Gong Xuan activated it before he left!”
