"Huh... why is the white fog so thick?" Harold and the other thirteen SSS-level Genetically Enhanced Humans finally arrived at the area, and Harold spoke with a surprised look on his face.
"It's a formation! That bastard set up a formation here!" Trudy snarled.
"A formation?"
A look of wariness appeared on the faces of all the Genetically Enhanced Humans.
They intended to overthrow the human governments and exterminate humanity, so they had naturally been meticulously studying humanity's greatest strengths.
They held little regard for technology.
However, a powerful Cultivator could pose a threat to them.
Therefore, China's top Cultivators and major Sects were their primary subjects of study, so they were naturally familiar with formations. They also understood the principles of breaking them.
Most importantly, these Genetically Enhanced Humans had seized some power and were steadily climbing the ladder, gaining control over many of America's critical departments. So, they used satellites to monitor the Kunlun Sect and the Shushan Sect almost daily. Of course, American intelligence agencies were also continuously feeding them information about China's Cultivators.
They were thus quite familiar with China's Cultivators.
"If it were a Mountain Protection Array, we might be a bit concerned. But a mere minor formation is hardly worth our notice," George said with a cold sneer as he stepped forward.
This man was very strong, only slightly weaker than Harold. He was also quite clever, possessing extraordinary wisdom and acting as their strategist.
"Then come on, do you dare enter?" Zhou Tianyu's voice echoed from within. "I'm telling you, the moment you step inside, you are all doomed. Not a single one of you will leave here alive."
He was, of course, taunting them.
Meanwhile, the others were all ready to attack, waiting to slaughter them like pigs.
Zhang Bin watched with a sly smile, but he was communicating silently with his AI. Tutu, how much longer until you can control more systems and AI brains? And when can we get to the central area with the beautiful woman's corpse?
He wasn't thinking about heading to the American-occupied area at all right now. Upon entering this place, Tutu had already managed to hack into all the computers and AI brains in the zone controlled by the Americans.
All of the Americans' research data had already been copied over.
Although he knew this was a perverse technology, he was also well aware that if used properly, this data could be useful, even invaluable. At the very least, it could extend the lives of ordinary people, allowing them to live for several hundred, or even close to a thousand, years.
Of course, that was assuming all the defects could be fixed.
For anyone else, that might be impossible. But Zhang Bin could contact Xuanwu Star, obtain their technological data, and fully master it. Perhaps then he could also master Xuanwu Star's genetic enhancement techniques and develop a technology to extend life.
Master, progress is a bit slow. It might be another two hours, Tutu replied.
"Two hours?"
A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Zhang Bin's face. Two hours wasn't a long time. They could retreat toward that area while using the traps and mechanisms along the way to deal with the enemy; surviving for two hours was definitely possible.
Moreover, he firmly believed that the central area held even more advanced genetic enhancement technology.
Perhaps there would be other treasures as well.
Of course, the second level underground would certainly have even more treasures. So, Zhang Bin was also thinking about checking out the second level. As for its entrance, it was naturally located in the place with the coffins.
The fourteen Genetically Enhanced Humans moved to one side to discuss their plan in detail.
After a while, they returned and took out their weapons. Their weapons were, of course, obtained from this underground base, and all could be considered Low-grade Magical Treasures. They were specially crafted to allow the Genetically Enhanced Humans to unleash their maximum combat potential.
"Kill!"
They roared in unison as their Magical Treasures rapidly enlarged and elongated. Then, they frantically swung their weapons into the formation.
If the area covered by the formation were vast, their attack would be a joke, as they would have no hope of striking the Array Plate. But the area here was not large, so such an attack was effective. With fourteen SSS-level Genetically Enhanced Humans attacking at full power, not only would a minor formation fail to withstand it, even a Great Array would collapse. They were therefore one hundred percent confident they could shatter this formation in an instant.
But their expressions suddenly changed dramatically.
They discovered that the range covered by the formation had nearly doubled, and the places where they now stood were also inside the Great Array.
Almost instantly, they felt the surrounding air had solidified, impeding their movements and preventing their Magical Treasures from swiftly slashing down.
Even more terrifying was the excited shout from Zhang Hangkui, "Attack! Kill them!"
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
More than a hundred Golden Core Realm Cultivators spat out their Flying Swords, which shot toward the enemy as densely as raindrops. The most fearsome of these was naturally Zhang Hangkui's. This time, he did not attack with his hands but used Sword Control to slay his enemies. This method was even faster.
Zhou Tianyu's attack was also incredibly terrifying; he was still wielding the Godslayer Spear. He unleashed a frenzied thrust toward Harold's chest. The spear rapidly elongated, its speed almost matching that of the Flying Swords. In an instant, a murderous aura surged to the heavens, and the air turned icy cold.
"Retreat, quickly!"
Harold's face flushed with rage as he burst forth with a dazzling golden light and an overwhelming pressure and aura. He managed to break through the formation's binding and rapidly flew back.
However, the Godslayer Spear was even faster, reaching his chest in the blink of an eye. He had no choice but to fiercely hack his axe down onto the spearhead. But to his surprise, he struck nothing but air. The spearhead he hit was illusory and shattered upon impact.
The real spearhead suddenly appeared, plunging viciously into Trudy's chest, and its blood-drenched tip burst from her back an instant later.
"Ah..."
Trudy let out a piercing scream, but before the spearhead could be withdrawn, her head lolled to the side, and she died.
Zhou Tianyu's combat experience was exceedingly rich. He had long realized Harold was very powerful and would be difficult to kill with a single thrust. The attack on Harold had been a feint; Trudy was the true target.
In that moment of delay, Harold had already escaped.
However, the horrific battle continued within the formation.
"Ah!"
Another Genetically Enhanced Human frantically deflected dozens of Flying Swords but was struck in the head by Zhang Hangkui's blade. He let out a furious and unwilling scream before his corpse crashed to the ground.
"Die!"
Master Tianlong was the last to unleash his Flying Sword. He took careful aim, sending it streaking toward the chest of the weakest and slowest-retreating Genetically Enhanced Human.
PFFT!
The Flying Sword pierced through his chest, spraying blood. The man fell backward to the ground, his life fading with each shallow breath.
"You're not getting away either!"
Zhang Bin was as cunning as Master Tianlong. He unleashed his Flying Sword at almost the same time but targeted another man. That man was already wounded by several Flying Swords, his body drenched in blood.
WHOOSH!
Blood Fang let out a grating shriek that seemed to tear through space itself. Brimming with an intensely rich killing intent, it shot toward the man's forehead
