Chapter 1325 - 658: Chang Yuntao’s Genetic Map
Liang Yuan opened his eyes, opened the door, and saw Han Xiangman.
"I made porridge, and the buns are from Hu Weimin’s house, I stored them in my Sumeru Ring."
Han Xiangman was holding a bowl of porridge and a plate of buns, along with thoughtfully sliced marinated meat and pickled vegetables.
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Come in and sit. Have you eaten?"
Han Xiangman nodded with a smile, "I’ve already eaten."
Liang Yuan took the porridge, had a sip, and asked, "Have Gu Qingshan’s group been interrogated?"
Han Xiangman nodded, "They’ve all been interrogated."
"Any useful information?"
Han Xiangman’s expression immediately turned serious, "Chang Yuntao has rebuilt five major mercenary groups. Aside from Sharp Sword, Celestial King, and Red Star, he’s added two more legions: Iron Blood and Beauty."
"With his original Ice Armor Soldier Legion, he certainly has quite an elite and formidable force."
"But you’ll never guess who the leader of this new Beauty Mercenary Corps is!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Who is it?"
"Leng Yuehua!"
"What?"
Liang Yuan was taken aback, a trace of disbelief in his eyes.
"Leng Yuehua? She’s still alive?"
Han Xiangman nodded, "Lin Ya let her go back then, and I thought, given the vast floods, the chances of her surviving were slim. But not only is she alive, she’s become a trusted confidant of Chang Yuntao and has assembled a new mercenary group."
Liang Yuan’s expression was solemn, but his thoughts were elsewhere.
Han Xiangman only knew that Leng Yuehua was severely injured and survival was difficult.
But only Liang Yuan knew that Leng Yuehua was infested with a parasite species he planted, which should have drained her Spirit and Qi completely, turning her into nutrients for the parasite species.
Yet she is still alive; could it be she found a way to break the parasite species?
Liang Yuan’s expression was somewhat gloomy. With Leng Yuehua’s personality and her hatred towards him, this woman definitely wouldn’t let this matter go easily.
His gaze flickered slightly, "What’s Leng Yuehua’s strength now? Has she gone through gene recombination?"
Han Xiangman shook her head, "No, according to Gu Qingshan’s account, in the entire Mist City, the only one who has achieved gene recombination is Chang Yuntao."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly. Gene recombination is extremely difficult to achieve, reaching that state is no easy feat.
In Mist City, having only Chang Yuntao at that level is understandable.
"Leng Yuehua hates me to the core, she certainly won’t pass up this opportunity."
"They probably already know that I’m here."
"I just don’t know how they will make their move."
Han Xiangman said, "What else can we do besides facing it head-on?"
Liang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Send a message to inform Yangshan to be cautious and vigilant about outsiders recently."
Han Xiangman was shocked, "You suspect Mist City’s people might initiate an attack on Yangshan?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly, "It’s a possibility. Go inform everyone to depart immediately and attack Mist City. I want a swift and decisive battle!"
"Understood!"
Liang Yuan finished the last sip of porridge, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and stood up right away.
Han Xiangman quickly went out to make arrangements.
Before long, all the superpower users were ready, following Liang Yuan’s lead straight toward Mist City!
The snow was vast and white, and in the distance, two islands stood tall upon the snowy plains.
One of the islands was shrouded in mist, swirling and drifting around.
This one was noticeably higher than the other.
Liang Yuan gazed at the mist-covered island in front of him and couldn’t help but express a hint of admiration.
"What a Floating Island, this layer of mist is a natural Defense Talisman Array."
"Unfortunately, last time I was a step too late, and Chang Yuntao had already refined the Heart Core and Brain Core."
"Mr. Liang, is this Mist City?" Wu Ying asked from the side.
Zhang Peng said, "It has to be, this layer of mist just fits the name Mist City."
"Then shouldn’t it be called Mist Island; could there be a city inside?"
"What city, it’s just a shelter."
At this time, Han Xiangman spoke, "Everything here seems unchanged from before. Mr. Liang, shall we challenge them from outside?"
Liang Yuan said, "Since Chang Yuntao refined the Brain Core and Heart Core of Mist City, if anyone lands on the island, it won’t go unnoticed by him. Sneak attacks by landing secretly are unlikely."
"We might as well challenge them directly, straightforward and clear."
Zhang Peng immediately said, "Mr. Liang, this is easy, leave it to us."
Zhang Peng turned around and, together with Gao Yucheng and others, walked a bit forward.
Then he opened his mouth and shouted, "Those on the island listen, you have thirty seconds to come out and surrender!"
"Chang Yuntao, you idiot, you sent people to occupy our Fanshan Island, and even attempted to ambush us at Dark Abyss Mouth. Now, all your men have been captured by us, hahaha!"
"What a joke of a Master of Fog City, I’d say you’re more like a turtle hiding in its shell!"
Zhang Peng and others stood outside the mist, shouting insults and crude words loudly.
Inside Mist City, the mist churned, and then a huge ship slowly sailed out.
Simultaneously, large numbers of figures flew swiftly from the island.
"Boom boom boom!"
As these people flew out, a series of booming sounds exploded.
Immediately, shells were launched this way.
Zhang Peng and the others saw this and quickly dispersed.
Han Xiangman and others immediately acted, conjuring gigantic waves of water to shield the front.
Shells fell and detonated, sparking intense flames.
Huge runes exploded in the air; they were rune bombs crafted from Superpower Stones.
From the ship shrouded in the fog opposite, came the sound of cannon fire.
But it wasn’t gunpowder shells; it was some kind of Rune Technology cannon.
Liang Yuan saw this and said, "It seems that during this time, Chang Yuntao wasn’t idle. He’s been doing some research."
Wu Ying, standing nearby, laughed and said, "His superpower technology can’t compare to our Yangshan’s level."
Liang Yuan shook his head, "Don’t underestimate other forces. This is the Superpower Era, with so many miraculous abilities and runes we don’t understand."
"Before the Sealing Rune appeared, who could have thought such runes existed?"
Wu Ying nodded, "You’re right."
"Woo—"
From the giant ship hidden in the fog, came the low, deep sound of a foghorn.
Following closely, a snow throne floated in the air, followed by a large number of people flying out with it.
On the throne sat a middle-aged man, slightly balding and wearing a white robe.
His gaze was sharp, sweeping towards Liang Yuan and his group, and he instantly spotted Liang Yuan.
Between experts, there is an inexplicable sense.
Almost instantly, he knew that the person before him was Liang Yuan!
"You are Liang Yuan?"
Liang Yuan also looked at Chang Yuntao, smiled, and said, "Chang Yuntao, long time no see."
Chang Yuntao narrowed his eyes, "Long time no see... Haha, such a long time, strictly speaking, this is my first time seeing you, Liang Yuan!"
Liang Yuan nodded, "That’s right, it’s indeed your first time seeing me, but I’ve seen you before. Back then, during the heart chamber battle of your Floating Island, when Earth Mother Sect experts besieged you, you showed great prowess, and it was quite impressive."
Chang Yuntao’s face suddenly darkened, "So you were there then! It seems the Blood Crystals I lost were stolen by you!"
Liang Yuan slightly shook his head and said, "The Floating Island was originally an entity from beyond; when did it become yours?"
"I refined the Heart Core and Brain Core of this island, so the entire island is mine. Do you dare say it isn’t?"
Liang Yuan laughed heartily, "Considering you’ve already entered the gene recombination stage, how could you say such naive words?"
"Refined the Heart Core and Brain Core, so this island is yours?"
"The true power to control this island has never been with the Brain Core and Heart Core, but lies with your fist!"
"Chang Yuntao, when you originally saved the Heart Core and Brain Core from the Earth Mother Sect people, it was based on your skills."
"I couldn’t obtain the Brain Core and Heart Core due to my insufficient strength then, but taking the Blood Crystals was based on my ability."
"I now also hold three or four Floating Islands. If you have the skill to steal the Blood Crystals and Superpower Stones inside the islands, I have nothing to say."
"The fault would only lie in me being incapable of guarding this fortune."
"Haha, theft is theft, speaking with such righteousness! Liang, it seems I haven’t suspected the wrong person; you are truly deserving of death!"
Chang Yuntao stood up from the Frozen Throne, his aura surging, producing howling winds that whipped his cloak to a roaring sound.
He stared fiercely at Liang Yuan, "Since you’ve come today, stay forever!"
Swish!
The moment his words fell, his figure moved, disappearing instantly without a trace!
All around, the space rapidly spread with ice fog.
In the blink of an eye, the ice fog expanded to a range of several hundred meters, and the next moment, the fog churned, breathing like thunder, rumbling loudly.
A gigantic creature, nearly ten meters tall, emerged from the ice fog!
This was a mist-like creature resembling a giant bear, with a form closely resembling Liang Yuan’s Ice Bear.
But the difference was, Liang Yuan’s Ice Bear was in a physical form.
Whereas the other was in an ice fog form, seemingly a state after elemental transformation.
Yet clearly, this wasn’t an ice elemental transformation; this creature naturally existed in this form.
"Liang Yuan, let me see how much your strength has improved after stealing so many of my Blood Crystals."
"My ice fog phantom bear Genetic Map is a double-link Genetic Map. I hope to see some surprises from you; don’t disappoint me!"
The ice fog phantom bear looked up, revealing a sinister smile in its eyes: "Otherwise, I will tear apart your Yangshan and personally sever the heads of your loved ones, destroying everything you’ve built!"
Liang Yuan raised his head, calmly gazing at the ’ice fog phantom bear’ state of Chang Yuntao, "You seem quite confident?"
Buzz!
A blood mist exploded around him, and in the next moment, amidst the churning blood mist, a gigantic Ice Bear appeared within the mist.
The Ice Bear stepped forward, gazing at its huge body, then looked at the opposite ice fog phantom bear: "Don’t think that only you can play with the Ice Attribute!"
"Ice Bear! You—you’re not a Dark Attribute!"
Chang Yuntao was greatly shocked, the ice fog phantom bear’s pupils shrank.
He always believed that Liang Yuan, having refined the Dark Abyss Mouth, must be a Dark Attribute Superpower User.
Only a Dark Attribute Superpower User could explain how Liang Yuan escaped his eyes back then and stole the Blood Crystals right under his nose.
However, Liang Yuan suddenly displayed the Ice Bear Genetic Map, truly shocking him, making him disbelieving!
The mismatch of information was somewhat unexpected to him from the start.
Boom!
Liang Yuan waved his hand, around him ice condensed rapidly, countless ice blocks appeared, forming a terrifying sphere around him!
"Ice Star Collision!"
In an instant, Liang Yuan moved like a frozen planet, explosively shooting towards Chang Yuntao!
Seeing this, Chang Yuntao quickly gathered his mind, and suddenly his entire body dispersed!
Transforming into countless ice fog, swiftly spreading outward.
Bang!
Both sides collided together, the ice fog seemed shapeless, genuinely like fog waves, enveloping the enormous ice sphere within.
Chang Yuntao showed a cold gleam: "Let’s see who has deeper mastery of ice powers!"
"Mental Ice Explosion!"
Amidst the sky-filled ice fog, Chang Yuntao shouted fiercely.
In an instant, the ice fog rapidly cooled, simultaneously, inside the ice fog emerged a terrifying Spiritual Power, permeating towards Liang Yuan inside the ice sphere!
