But now, when facing Qualcomm, this characteristic of "Lingxi Remains" has become an advantage.
As Qualcomm’s only good friend, Lingxi should be the person in the world who knows Qualcomm best.
"Uncle Gao's leg... seems to have been injured because of using this ability..." Ling Ling said again.
"Will controlling time and space also cause irreversible damage to oneself?" Luo Xue murmured to herself, "Such a powerful force is indeed worth paying such a price."
A level nine ability user is actually only equivalent to a cultivator at the peak of the foundation building stage, but Gao Tong's ability allows him to have the ability to kill a Jindan cultivator, even one at the peak of the Jindan stage.
As long as the Nascent Soul is not condensed, once important parts such as the heart and brain are destroyed, death is inevitable.
Only now...
Even though she knew that if she delayed any longer, Gao Tong would not be able to hold on, Luo Xue had no way to deal with this light and shadow that did not exist in the world.
“Well, Miss Luo Xue!” Celis gritted her teeth and said, “I have another trump card... I can give it to you!”
"What is it?"
As soon as Luo Xue asked the question, the light and shadow suddenly stopped and rushed towards Celis.
After seeing this scene, Luo Xue understood that this trump card might be able to threaten Qualcomm, so he turned to attack Celis.
So Celis had no way to respond to Luo Xue's question. She tried her best to hand this trump card to Luo Xue, and then several space cracks directly tore through her body.
Celis did not have the physical speed that Luo Xue was proud of, and could barely escape before the light and shadow tore the space apart.
In just a blink of an eye, Celis fell to the ground seriously injured, and a pool of blood slowly flowed out.
"Celis..."
Luo Xue had no time to worry because the light and shadow turned and rushed towards her.
The next moment, Luo Xue knew what Celis's gift was.
“Is it… like this?”
Luo Xue's pupils shrank slightly. In her vision, everything became slow, but this was just her feeling. In reality, time was not slowed down.
To be precise, her reaction ability was enhanced several times, or even dozens of times.
Also enhanced is perception ability.
Celis's nerve control can manipulate, cut off, weaken other people's nervous systems, and naturally strengthen them as well.
However, this kind of enhancement brought more than just strengthening. Luo Xue noticed that, in sync with the improvement of her perception ability, the pain she could feel was also increasing exponentially.
Celis never uses this trump card unless it is absolutely necessary, because it is a double-edged sword, pointing at the enemy as well as herself.
In addition, as Lingling said, Qualcomm cannot maintain this state for too long.
His movements were much slower than at the beginning. Luo Xue could even hear his slight breathing as he hid in the cracks of time and space.
“There are more possibilities...”
But in Qualcomm's vision, the future is beginning to become confusing.
The clear picture goes backwards from a few seconds later, almost coinciding with the present time. A little further forward is the future with countless overlapping possibilities, which has no reference value at all.
But Gao Tong was such a powerful figure that this situation could not shake him, and his action of tearing space remained unchanged.
This time, the torn crack opened directly at Luo Xue's heart.
With Luo Xue's speed, she could have barely avoided it, but this time... she didn't avoid it completely, but instead turned her body aside, and the crack cut her shoulder.
"...What's going on?"
Qualcomm instinctively felt that something was wrong, but the unclear future did not tell him what was happening.
"Finally, I caught you... Qualcomm..."
Luo Xue's expression was slightly distorted, the intense pain stimulated her perception, but the corners of her mouth curled up with a hint of success.
Chapter 147: Crash Crisis, Deep Space Monster!
After her perception ability was greatly enhanced, all of Qualcomm's movements became extremely clear in Luo Xue's eyes, and she was finally able to see through Qualcomm's true attack method.
The distorted light and shadow is indeed just a projection of him in the real world, but when it tears the space to attack, there will be an extremely short moment when it overlaps with the real world.
This is the only chance to hurt Qualcomm.
Luo Xue seized this opportunity and did not choose to focus all her energy on avoiding the attack, but simply avoided injuries that could have been fatal.
Use the remaining energy to fight back before the intersection between Qualcomm and the present world ends.
only...
Generally speaking, even if you know Qualcomm's weakness, it is difficult to launch an effective attack in a time so short that it is less than half a breath.
Unfortunately... Luo Xue is not a warrior in the general sense, she is a cultivator who has embarked on the path to immortality.
"Double pupils, mysterious dark pupils, open!"
Luo Xue's eyes turned bright red in an instant, and the two overlapping black pupils twisted restlessly, like a terrifying and twisted evil spirit.
When being stared at by these eyes, Gao Tong's face changed drastically when he overlapped with the real world.
He suddenly discovered that he had lost control of his body and was falling through the cracks in time and space, and was about to return to the real world.
This is...what happened
Shouldn’t Luo Xue be a warrior
How could a person with a strong power possess such a prophetic ability
Gao Tong's thoughts gradually became confused and difficult to control. He rarely encountered this situation. It was obviously the result of being hit by Luo Xue's attack.
"...Falling Soul!"
Gao Tong's three souls and seven spirits were directly shattered. He had never practiced spirit cultivation before embarking on the immortal path. This blow almost shattered his fragile spirit.
However, since Gao Tong's real body is still in the gap between time and space, Luo Xue's pupil technique was weakened a lot, so she was able to survive.
But even so, it took Gao Tong a while to slowly retract his soul into his body, which was much slower than Master Zhang at that time.
This period of loss of control was enough to cause his body to fall out of the cracks in time and space.
The distorted light and shadow split several times, and Gao Tong's hunched figure stumbled out. He could barely stand by supporting himself with the instruments beside him.
It was just a short battle, but Qualcomm seemed to have aged dozens of years, with his hair turning gray at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was the result of excessive loss of his soul.
He raised his head and looked at Luo Xue. Luo Xue was seriously injured at this time. Her left shoulder was cut in half by the space crack.
The remaining debris from the space cracks continued to tear her wounds, and even using survival points could not completely heal them.
This is the horror of Gao Tong's ability. The space tear is not just equivalent to an invincible sharp blade. The residual injuries will continue to torture the victim until the space folds are smoothed out by the laws of nature over time.
"You win." Gao Tong sighed, "Ms. Luo Xue, you escaped death for the third time..."
At this time, Luo Xue didn't care about the confrontation with Gao Tong, and hurriedly helped Celis up from a pool of blood.
Ling Ling was still supporting Luo Xue in a panic. The sizzling blood everywhere made her a little dazed. She could not get involved in the fight between Gao Tong and Luo Xue, and she didn't even know why this fight happened.
"Don't worry... She's fine. I didn't kill her. I just made her unconscious." Gao Tong smiled palely. "The future of the Federation still depends on young people like this. Hehe... That's good, at least in the limited future."
Until now, Qualcomm has not given up his philosophy. He still believes that it will only take a moment for the existing human civilization to go to extinction.
"...brakes."
Luo Xue covered her shoulder and spoke in a deep voice while enduring the severe pain.
In this battle, she narrowly defeated Gao Tong. If it weren't for Celis's help, Luo Xue would never have been able to seize the brief opportunity and defeat Gao Tong directly.
"The brakes have already started," Gao Tong whispered, his expression gloomy, "This is the result of your victory..."
As he said before, Qualcomm is betting on the possibility of successful jump after the "string vibration" device is activated, rather than destroying the entire suspended tower.
If there was still a glimmer of hope if it was activated directly, then after Luo Xue used her spiritual power to disrupt about 10% of the device, this glimmer of hope had been annihilated.
After hearing Gao Tong's answer, Luo Xue immediately sensed the situation of the leap formation.
Gao Tong did not lie. Apart from the top three floors that were forcibly braked by Luo Xue, the lower 60% of the formation runes were also gradually extinguishing, and the entire suspended tower finally stabilized.
"Right now... the suspended tower should be preparing for emergency docking. It has been running continuously for such a long time and suffered such a change."
Qualcomm limped to his wheelchair and sat down shakily.
He curled up in a wheelchair, like a lonely old man, with a relieved smile on his face.
"My mission ends here..."
"Master Gao Tong, you will be tried by the Federation and sentenced to death for crimes against humanity."
Celis opened her eyes weakly and was helped to sit aside by Luo Xue who was also injured.
"I don't care." Gao Tong said calmly, "Losers... this is the only fate they will have."
He faced it all quite calmly, even when he was facing certain death.
The No. 132 suspended tower was adjusting its course to head for the nearest ground docking device, and was still falling toward the ground at a fairly balanced acceleration.
After being continuously damaged by the tricks of the Night Owl and the "string vibration" device, the disaster engine of the No. 132 suspended tower has been overwhelmed and is about to reach its limit.
The few of them were silent. Even Ling Ling lowered her head deeply because of the depressing atmosphere and dared not move.
"Ms. Luo Xue, I'm a little curious about something." Gao Tong suddenly asked softly.
"Um?"
Luo Xue raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Are you a warrior, a prophet, or... neither?" Gao Tong said slowly, "I saw that you can use natural disaster energy. Use it directly."
Spiritual power is the so-called natural disaster energy. Luo Xue was not surprised at Gao Tong's discovery, because she has never concealed the power she uses. It's just that it is difficult for people who have not embarked on the immortal path to detect it.
But since Qualcomm was directly hit by Luo Xue's attack and is an expert in studying the technology of previous civilizations, it was not surprising that he could discover this.
On the contrary, Celis, who was standing next to him, showed an incredible expression when she heard this, and looked at Luo Xue in extreme shock.
"Ms. Luo Xue, how did you do it?"
That's natural disaster energy.
For the humans of the new civilization, directly using natural disaster energy to fight is as incredible as Luo Xue using nuclear energy to fight in her previous life.
An ordinary person's body cannot withstand the impact of spiritual power, let alone control it. At most, they can use some devices to drive this energy.
"I... "
Luo Xue hesitated for a while. She couldn't say that she gained this power after going to another world, right
If you say that, both Qualcomm and Celes will go crazy.
You know, they both firmly believe in the existence of another world described in "String Theory". The difference is that Qualcomm thinks he can go there, while Celis thinks he can't.
However, before Luo Xue could think of a reason to make up, the alarm sounded again in the entire suspended tower.
This time... even the ninth floor was no exception, all of them were flashing at a crazy frequency.
"What's going on?" Celis was stunned. She looked at Gao Tong, who was still calm, and said, "Master Gao Tong, don't you have any braking jump device at all?"
"I've already braked."
Qualcomm said softly.
"He did brake," Luo Xue frowned slightly, "and I can confirm that there is no trace of the 'string vibration' device operating in the entire suspended tower."
"Then this alarm..."
Celis looked a little nervous.
Having performed missions in the Federation for many years, she was quite familiar with the alarms of various high-rise towers, but she had never heard such a loud alarm.
It was like... encountering a crisis that was powerful enough to destroy the entire suspended tower.
"For many years, for many years... no one has heard this alarm." Gao Tong said lightly. He raised his head slightly and looked at Celis. "Miss Commissioner, I wonder... have you heard of the deep space monster?"
"Deep space monster? Are you saying that deep space monster is coming? The monster that destroyed the five suspended towers is coming again?" Hearing Gao Tong's words, Celis' heart was in her throat, "How could it happen so suddenly... Wait, it can't be..."
"You're half right. It's related to the 'string vibration' device, but not completely," Qualcomm said.
"Since you know so much about string theory, you should know that in string theory, the deep space monster is a chaotic string that can travel freely among different dimensions.
"The 'string frequency' that makes up the deep space monster is not fixed. Once it coincides with a certain world, it will appear out of thin air and cause disaster..."
“You already knew this?” Celis murmured.
