Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: One Shot to Kill

Wan Guotao and Lv Chengxue had been waiting in the courtyard for thirty days, because they had not yet seen Lin Shen and Lin Miao teleport back, they inevitably became somewhat impatient.

But no matter how impatient they were, they could only wait, they had to kill Lin Miao and take back the unformed Spirit Base of Wan Nianbei.

The support of the Wan Family on the Alien World was the Di Man Tribe, should they defy the commands of their masters, naturally they would meet with a bad end.

Although Catherine had only mentioned taking back the unformed Spirit Base of Wan Nianbei, the Wan Family wondered, why did Catherine definitely want that practically useless broken Spirit Base?

The most likely reason was to send a message to the Wan Family, Catherine must have learned about Wan Nianbei and Lin Miao, and after the death of Wan Nianbei, she knew that his last wish was to give his unformed Spirit Base to Lin Miao, that’s why she wanted to take Wan Nianbei’s Spirit Base.

The most satisfactory action for Catherine would naturally be to retrieve the Spirit Base and kill Lin Miao, only by doing so could they preserve Catherine’s face, and the Wan Family could continue to grow under the protection of the Di Man Tribe.

They had also considered that Catherine might not know about Lin Miao at all, but they were not willing to take risks.

In their opinion, even if it meant destroying a small family clan on the mother world, it was much less risky than betting on the chance that Catherine didn’t know.

What did it matter if the Lin Family had Ascenders, just one or two Ascenders after all, no matter how strong, what could they do, the Interstellar Wan Family had plenty of Ascenders.

A few Ascenders dying, even if the Wan Family on the mother world was destroyed, it was better than having a thorn in Catherine’s heart.

They just hadn’t expected that a small family like the Lin Family would actually have a personal Teleporter with them.

During the thirty days, the Interstellar Wan Family kept urging them, Wan Guotao and the others were already very anxious, but they could only continue to wait patiently.

“Damn Lin Shen and Lin Miao, the moment they teleport back, we must make them disappear from this world at the first opportunity, and not give them any chance to activate the Teleporter again,” Wan Guotao and Lv Chengxue stared intently at the spot where Lin Shen and Lin Miao vanished.

The moment they teleported back, he would launch an attack without hesitation and not give them any further opportunities.

Suddenly, at the spot they had been watching, two figures appeared out of thin air.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lv Chengxue and Wan Guotao called forth their Life Bases from within their bodies.

Although Ascenders generally had Ascension Pets, their first reaction was usually to use their Life Bases, because the Life Base was like a part of the body, as natural as limbs, with the fastest response time.

Using pets, even with advanced Pet Launchers, required the action of drawing out the Pet Launcher and pressing the trigger, which obviously was not as fast as using the Life Base.

The Life Bases of the two men emerged from their bodies and respectively thrust towards Lin Shen and Lin Miao.

When Lin Shen and Lin Miao returned via teleportation, Lin Miao was already enveloped by the Six Paths Phoenix, and Lin Shen’s Carapace shone brilliantly, with an extra layer of blood membrane on the outside. Their Innate Skills were fully activated, and beforehand, they had allowed the Six Paths Phoenix to repeatedly break and Recast the Carapace, taking the strength of the cooled Carapace to a terrifying level.

Lin Shen was well aware that the moment they returned was the most dangerous, as long as they could get past this hurdle, they could think of other strategies later.

Wan Guotao’s Life Base was a sword that charged directly at Lin Miao, while Lv Chengxue’s Life Base was a knife, cutting through the air with frightening Strength towards Lin Shen, moving so fast that it was impossible to dodge.

The wings of the Six Paths Phoenix on Lin Miao’s body flapped hard, blocking Wan Guotao’s sword with great effort.

And as Lin Shen watched Lv Chengxue’s knife slash towards him, he didn’t retreat but advanced, his hand like a lance made of Death Powder, thrusting directly at Lv Chengxue.

Seeing this, Lv Chengxue let out a cold laugh, he didn’t even use his Base Mutation Carapace, because there was simply no need.

The speed of the Life Base was far faster than that of a Mutator. There was no way Lin Shen’s spear could reach him without his body being chopped in half by the Life Base Blade.

Ascenders facing Mutators meant an absolute overwhelming advantage.

Indeed, just as Lv Chengxue predicted, his Life Base Blade struck Lin Shen first, but the cut did not sever him in two as expected.

The blow only managed to carve a wound into the carapace on Lin Shen’s shoulder, penetrating just over an inch before it could go no further.

The carapace, having been recast with the help of Six Paths Phoenix, was already of exceptional strength, and for good measure, Lin Shen had also invoked the blessing skill of the Blood Jade Mountain God.

Lv Chengxue, being a common Ascender with a Strength Attribute around sixty, found it quite difficult to cleave Lin Shen’s body in twain.

Lv Chengxue couldn’t have imagined this outcome, much less the spear in Lin Shen’s hand suddenly accelerating, so fast that it almost caught him off guard.

It mainly came down to the short distance; a great hall was only so big, and Lin Shen, holding the Death Powder, could almost pierce through Lv Chengxue’s body with an outstretched arm.

With such proximity, and Lv Chengxue’s initial lack of defense, now there was no time to dodge.

But an Ascender was still an Ascender, and in that split second, Lv Chengxue managed to deploy his Mutator Carapace.

Even up to that moment, Lv Chengxue had not taken Lin Shen’s attack seriously; the attacks of a Mutator having a hard time even leaving a mark on his carapace, let alone harming him.

However, when the Death Powder stabbed into his chest, Lv Chengxue’s pupils sharply contracted as if he had witnessed something inconceivable.

Lin Shen’s spear forcefully pierced through his Mutator Carapace, impaling his heart and protruding from his back.

“Impossible…” That was the thought in Lv Chengxue’s mind, as well as in the minds of everyone present.

What was supposed to be a moment charged with tension instead fell into an instant of silence.

Lv Chengxue could not believe his carapace, with a hardness of 64, had been pierced by a Mutator.

Wan Guotao could not believe such a thing was possible, and the other Mutators of the Wan Family were even more incredulous.

Yet there it was before their eyes: Lv Chengxue, an Ascender, whose Life Base had failed to kill Lin Shen, countered by Lin Shen’s spear that pierced straight through his heart and Mutator Carapace.

They all were shocked and in disbelief, but Lin Shen did not hesitate even for a moment as he pulled the Death Powder out decisively.

With the extraction of the Death Powder, blood gushed out like a fountain from the wound.

Clutching the wound on his chest, Lv Chengxue stared at Lin Shen with wide eyes while blood continued to surge from the injury on his back.

He took a few steps back and fell to the ground, struggling to rise but unable to, trying to say something, but only blood spewed forth.

An Ascender had died just like that, leaving Wan Guotao both shocked and enraged.

Lin Shen, however, did not pause for a second. Moving like lightning, he thrust his spear toward Wan Guotao. Now that it had come to this, it was kill or be killed; there was nothing left to say. The only thing to do was to eliminate the enemy and survive.
