Chapter 708: Chapter 304: Body Cutting Chapter 708: Chapter 304: Body Cutting Underground, Duan Hongye rapidly tunneled upwards, displaying god-like abilities. However, the closer he got to the surface, the more violent and destructive his impulses became. Since becoming a God-Level Expert, he had rarely faced setbacks, let alone a massive loss like today.
Up to now, not only had Duan Hongye failed to meet Yan Fei, but he had also suffered one setback after another. The key issue was his enemy wasn't a God-Level Expert of the same level, but a “mortal”, whom inflicting injury upon him was something Duan Hongye found completely unacceptable, fueling his uncontrollable rage. Under the control of his filthy and vile personality, murderous intent surged within him, and he decided that once he escaped his confinement, he would go on a killing spree. Even if he still couldn't find Yan Fei himself, he intended to kill all senior management personnel of Dream Technology on Dream Island.
As for the plans he had before, Duan Hongye had pushed them to the back of his mind. China's current strength was the result of the efforts of several generations of its citizens, and even without Yan Fei's Dream Island and high-tech, China would still rise, albeit slightly slower. That is to say, Yan Fei, though important, was not indispensable to China; even if Yan Fei were eliminated, it wouldn't pose a significant threat to the country.
Once Duan Hongye regarded Yan Fei as his enemy, the senior management personnel standing behind Yan Fei on Dream Island naturally became his enemies as well. In Duan Hongye's view, these senior personnel were elite clan members of China, but they lacked the ability to discern right from wrong and had chosen to help Yan Fei commit atrocities; therefore, they deserved to be eradicated.
Duan Hongye's tunneling speed was very fast. In just ten minutes, he had excavated 90 meters upwards, and at this point, there was only another 10 meters to the surface. As Duan Hongye was about to burst forth from the ground, imagining the slaughter he would undertake after escaping his constraints, a sudden palpitation struck his heart.
Duan Hongye was shocked. Since becoming a God-Level Expert, his perception of danger had been extremely accurate, warning him whenever danger was imminent, and these warnings were hardly ever wrong. For instance, earlier in the underground passage, Duan Hongye had sensed immense danger, and as expected, he encountered numerous traps. If not for his immense strength and proper handling of the situation, he would have been seriously injured in those traps, instead of being merely stripped bare as was the case now.
Though the danger Duan Hongye felt in the underground passage was intense, it paled in comparison to the palpitations that had just emerged in his heart. The danger previously felt could have injured Duan Hongye at most, but the palpitation he now felt could very well cost him his life.
Duan Hongye quickly discerned that the upcoming danger was something he could not withstand, and it could even take his life, so he instinctively tried to rely on speed to flee. But he soon realized he was 10 meters underground, buried under a mass of rocks, unable to move freely, and therefore unable to quickly dodge. However, under the threat of life and death, he still fought for a chance at survival. With divine might, he shattered a huge boulder beside him with a punch, then followed his instincts and shifted his body slightly to the side.
Just as Duan Hongye had finished shifting his body, a nearly imperceptible network of mysterious fluctuations descended from the sky, slicing through the pile of rocks where he was situated. In a flash, it cut through the rocks beside him. The hard rocks were like tofu against these mysterious fluctuations, utterly defenseless, and were cleanly bisected in one stroke. The surfaces of the rocks were extremely smooth, the gaps between them not even as wide as a fine thread.
Although Duan Hongye had managed to shift his body away at the last moment, he was still not completely outside the reach of the network formed by the mysterious fluctuations, and was grazed by its outermost edge. Unsurprisingly, when Duan Hongye's body encountered these mysterious fluctuations, it offered no resistance; as the fluctuation moved across him, it diagonally sliced from his shoulder down, severing his entire right shoulder in the process. Not only was his right arm detached from his body, but a large portion of his right shoulder was sliced off. Had the mysterious fluctuation moved in just a fraction more, Duan Hongye's internal organs would have been cut as well.
Having lost his entire right shoulder, Duan Hongye was heavily wounded, intense pain emanating from the injury. Since becoming a
