249: Chapter 230: The Ultimate Weapon 249: Chapter 230: The Ultimate Weapon Water vapor gathers, cold air marshalls.
An ice mirror builds, its structure thickens.
The mirror surface is corrected, the degree of its reflective curve adjusted.
One mirror is completed, the construction of the second one begins….
No one could understand that in that instant, dozens, or even hundreds of ice mirrors requiring such intricate operations, what enormous consumption of Spiritual Power they would entail.
Lei Huoren is breathing heavily; the energy he exhales bears cold frost.
He doesn’t have much time left…
With a sharp kick, the Runner who leaps into the mid-air becomes light once more.
The light jumps from one mirror to another, but will suddenly pierce from the third mirror, and so on.
When the figure is repeatedly mirrored within the infinite mirror, all the mirrors become flashes of blades and human forms.
The maze made of mirrors, is an absolute territory with no blind spots, moreover, it’s a visual trap that can disrupt any form of observation.
Hua Xueyi takes to the air again, her golden wings’ reflection in the mirror, but when they passed, there was only faded silver, semi-transparent ice pieces that scattered around.
“Golden Sand” promptly deciphers the battlefield, executing the “Conductor’s” tactical requirements.
She gives up ground-based interference, fully spreading her wings to destroy the opponent’s mirrors.
To avoid being targeted, she mainly focuses on the key threats above her head, which are the blind spots for her comrades’ defenses, reducing Lei Huoren’s danger points.
“Good work.” Xue En stands calmly on the battlefield, his soldierly fighting instincts completely unleashed.
Of the lowest tier, he is the frontline battlefield commander, and the key to this battle.
Once again, the attacker is blocked.
As a meat shield, an all-defense Xia Qin is almost perfect, but if she was only this, she wouldn’t have walked the challenging path to become a “Sword Saint”.
A heavy punch smashes into a mirror, its brute force sends it flying without breaking it.
But a half-moon pattern has appeared on that mirror.
Following that, Xia Qin throws another punch, another mirror gets marked, but this time, it is the regular sun pattern.
Hua Xueyi quickly descends, she doesn’t want to suffer friendly fire again.
Two mirrors, one linear, one curved, the Latecomer First, brutally collide.
The “Sun Pattern” and “Moon Pattern” collide, contact each other, in the next moment, they mysteriously merge into the Yin-Yang symbol, and then…
A rain of debris falls from the sky, a large part of the ice mirrors in mid-air has been cleared.
Besides the public “Sun Pattern” Abnormal Ability belonging to “Yang-patterned Sword”, Xia Qin actually, has a second one – the “Moon Pattern”.
It can be converted from the sun pattern.
When used alone, it’s harmless and has a reinforcing effect, but unlike the conductive “Sun Pattern”, once it’s directed at a target, it is hard to remove.
It does not remain on the surface of objects like the “Sun Pattern”.
Instead, it keeps getting deeper…..which is not a good thing.
Its true function is to create a super internal explosion when the “Sun Pattern” and “Moon Pattern” collide with each other!
Previously, Xia Qin was being overpowered by Lei Huoren, and all the patterns could only be used for reinforcement.
Now that she has some spare time, she can create the truly lethal “Moon Pattern”.
Around her is a black “rune” slowly spinning, that is her real trump card.
As long as the opponent is marked by the “Moon pattern”, and she lays the “Sun Pattern” on herself, then attacking her would be equivalent to suicide.
Without any doubt, it is her final trump card and the secret she has kept hidden.
However, for her old comrades, this has long been not a secret.
Hua Xueyi’s arrival relieves Xia Qin’s pressure and frees her hand.
However, the core of this battle still lies with the lowest-tier and apparently the weakest “rookie”.
“Ah, this is terrible, we’ve encountered an enemy who can manipulate water vapor.
If it rains, that would be disastrous…..”
With a sad tone and a feeling of helplessness hard to put into words, just as everyone cast surprised glances at him, their bad luck came pouring down from the sky.
A massive downpour of rain fell, limited to this particular area.
The localized rainfall gave people the creeps.
But the one feeling that something was not quite right, was Lei Huoren who had taken the initiative.
Massive amounts of water vapor appeared, making it hard for him to control his ice-making ability.
One freeze could cover a bunch of water vapor, wasting a lot of his “cold air” meaninglessly.
Worse yet, a lot of water had accumulated on the “mirror surfaces,” which was then condensed due to the low temperature.
The next moment, what was originally a smooth mirror, turned into a distorted and bump-filled mirror.
Normally logic assumes that a “water vapor, ice manipulator” gets stronger when it rains, but Lei Huoren was clearly not normal, and he hadn’t mastered his abilities.
The surge of water and water vapor actually made it harder for him to control his Ice Mirror Maze.
Wanting to change tactics?
Play the traditional ice magic set?
He would have to know how.
At this point in the fight, the Disaster Fist used his “negative energy” for the first time, triggering all the accumulated bad luck.
Everyone was feeling uncomfortable, but Lei Huoren definitely had it the worst.
His movement was not only impeded, but his wet clothes also made it harder for him to move.
The slick mirror pieces that he was stepping on almost made him slip…
“Ah, why is it raining, the battlefield is so slippery, and there’s so much ice, I’m going to slip!”
The first one to fall was Hua Xueyi who had just tried to land.
Xia Qin also performed a flat-out fall.
However, those two, one with an iron body, the other with strengthening Abnormal Ability, were basically unharmed and stood up immediately.
Lei Huoren, who slipped directly onto the ground, was in a lot of pain.
He coughed up blood, almost suffocating on it.
As for the Disaster Fist himself, he had intentionally “fallen” as he was speaking.
In just a moment, Lei Huoren jumped up again, but his eyes were full of fear when he looked at Xue En.
He finally understood why many senior Secret Keepers would literally run away whenever Xue En’s “infamous relative” was mentioned.
This guy was a nuisance to his own team, but as an opponent, he was even more of a hassle…
Especially for Lei Huoren who required precise control!
“Lu Ping’an was right, Xue En is Lei Huoren’s nemesis!”
The scene in front of them, the prophecy before the battle was fulfilled, greatly boosting the morale of Special Service Team Three.
The thing Lei Huoren put the most effort into was still the Runner Path.
His most dangerous places were always his eyes, coupled with his high-speed nerve reflexes and fast feet.
He could instantly analyze the battlefield situation, make the best judgment according to the situation, and perfectly execute various highly difficult tactical maneuvers, easily striking at weaknesses to beat the strong with the weak.
He was always dancing on the knife’s edge, which required perfect skills, sharp perception, a calm mind…
In fact, it also required a bit of luck.
If, at the moment when one steps on a steel wire, the wire breaks, or the shoe breaks, or the person cramps, they are naturally done for.
“It’s so cold, I might get sick…”
The coughs continued, for most people, it was just a slight discomfort, but for someone, it was extremely deadly.
This time, Lei Huoren crashed again.
Even though he quickly used his Ice Armor to protect himself, he was still coughing up blood heavily.
As he looked up, his gaze at Xue En carried more murderous intent.
He was confident that he could avoid any targeted attacks with his hand, eye, foot, and heart advantages, but the wide-range and irrational “bad luck” had no way to defend.
His body was getting colder and colder, the side effects of “Water Wings” were almost reaching their limit.
The continuous ten-minute-plus endurance battles were what he had been trying to avoid…
All the way, the self-imposed limitation of “not killing special agents”, maybe it was time to be lifted.
But undoubtedly, up until now, the three men had successfully dragged down Lei Huoren, meeting their expected goal.
At the same time, Lu Ping’an was on his way.
It was a simple strategy designed from the very beginning…
“While Xia Qin and the others are holding back Lei Huoren, we personally go to cut the tree, then, the Sophist will have to come out.
Having fewer people is their team’s biggest weakness.”
