King of Assassins

Chapter 317: Missed opportunity

Views:

A centipede is still alive even after death.

What this means is that insects have strong vitality and will not die immediately even if they are cut into several pieces.

In order to preserve his complete sentient body, Gao Xuan cut through Xingguang's body and did not take any further action.

According to the records in the Book of Omniscience, the Mechanical Cicada will absorb the sentient body and transform it into its own fighting spirit. This is how the Mechanical Cicada can be activated.

Gao Xuan was surprised that the sentient body absorbed by the mechanical cicada actually still retained some consciousness. This was very troublesome.

Xingguang has his own independent consciousness. If his consciousness takes over the Mechanical War Cicada, the Mechanical War Cicada will become Xingguang's unique item and will no longer have anything to do with him, Gao Xuan.

Such changes are not recorded in the Book of Omniscience.

However, none of this matters. Gao Xuan is not a child, so he must follow the instructions step by step.

Something unexpected happened, and he immediately made a judgment based on his experience and wisdom. You can't be timid at this time.

The six-winged cicada chirped loudly, and Gao Xuan's consciousness penetrated deep into the core of the mechanical cicada. The sword of destiny continued to vibrate.

The starlight consciousness that occupied the mechanical cicada was instantly shattered by the shocking sword intent.

His body was killed by Gao Xuan, and Xingguang's consciousness also dissipated. The mechanical war cicada absorbed all the energy of the thought body. He only had a remnant of consciousness left, and instinctively wanted to occupy the mechanical war cicada.

When faced with Gao Xuan's sword intent of destiny, Xingguang's remaining consciousness could not hold on at all.

Gao Xuan activated the sword intent of destiny to sweep back and forth, thoroughly clearing out the mechanical war cicada at the conscious level.

The mechanical war cicada itself has no consciousness and cannot resist Gao Xuan's destiny sword intent.

After Gao Xuan was sure that the starlight consciousness had been completely wiped out, his spiritual consciousness entered the core of the mechanical battle cicada.

The core of the Mechanical Battle Cicada has an extremely complex structure. The remaining consciousness of the Starlight actually only occupies the surface of the core.

From the perspective of spiritual consciousness, the core of the mechanical war cicada is countless interlaced gears. These gears are full of metallic texture, and the precise assembly makes it full of industrial beauty.

The gears and various transmission devices are not entirely real matter. Instead, they are the energy manifestation of the mechanical war cicada itself after being activated.

Without the guidance of the map in the Book of Omniscience, Gao Xuan’s consciousness would have to fight against the mechanical cicada’s own energy if he wanted to break through the complex structure.

Now, Gao Xuan is like holding a maze map, and can follow the safest path through the complex structure of the mechanical cicada and reach the core.

The core of the Mechanical Cicada is a ball of red fire, shaped like a human heart. The fire flickers and beats like a beating heart.

This core is connected to the deep layer of the boundless sea of source power. Every rhythm can draw huge source power from the sea of source power, providing huge energy for the mechanical war cicada.

The mechanical cicada is rapidly recovering its strength and vitality.

Gao Xuan knew that he could not wait any longer, and his mental consciousness fell directly on the core of the flame.

The blazing power in the core of the flame was more terrifying than the raging fire. Gao Xuan's soul was shaken with severe pain, and it seemed that his entire soul was about to be burned through by the blazing power.

The indescribable pain was like tearing his soul into pieces, and then burning it with fire and stabbing it with needles. Gao Xuan's consciousness almost collapsed on the spot.

He had never experienced such level of pain in his two lifetimes combined.

You have to know that human perception has its limits. Human consciousness also has the ability to protect itself. If the pain is too intense, people will simply shut down and restart.

Gao Xuan's spiritual power was too strong, and he had established the closest spiritual connection with the flame core of the mechanical cicada, and he directly bore the impact of the flame core.

If Gao Xuan wanted, he could pass out and protect himself in this way.

The problem is that the flame core is connected to his soul and transmits a lot of information. He must stay conscious at this time.

If he missed this information, he would most likely not be able to leave a mental imprint on the core, let alone control the mechanical cicada.

If you cannot withstand the power of the Mechanical War Cicada, you are not qualified to control it.

In fact, the severe pain only lasted for a few seconds, but for Gao Xuan it felt like a thousand years.

Even as he endured excruciating pain, he had to remain calm and process all the information.

After the severe pain, Gao Xuan's mental imprint finally established a connection with the flame core.

The mechanical war cicada flapped its wings and chirped, then landed on the six-winged celestial cicada.

The original golden six-winged cicada now looked like it was sprayed with a layer of black metal coating, and the outer lines were even tougher and sharper.

No, to be precise, the six-winged cicada was wearing a set of tailor-made black iron armor.

The tiny six-winged cicada actually had a bit of toughness and domineering aura.

Gao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief at the successful fusion of the mechanical war cicada and the six-winged celestial cicada.

I've been so busy just for this.

Gao Xuan didn't even have the energy to check the various powers and changes brought by the mechanical war cicada. He sat limply on the ground, like a completely hollowed-out old man, with a blank mind.

The pain just now was so terrible that it almost broke his will.

If he had to do it again, he wasn't sure if he would still choose the mechanical cicada.

It is impossible to understand how terrible the pain is without experiencing it yourself.

People always feel distressed and uncomfortable because of some ordinary and boring things. In fact, these emotional changes are not worth mentioning compared to the real pain.

There are always people who think they can overcome all pain, but that’s because they have never experienced real pain.

After Gao Xuan experienced the excruciating pain of his soul being torn apart, although he did not suffer any physical injuries, his spirit was almost on the verge of collapse.

So, he took a breath and didn't want to do anything.

While Gao Xuan was sitting lazily on the ground in a daze, the ground structure destroyed by the battle began to rumble and vibrate loudly.

The soil above the crystal cave collapsed with a loud bang, but Gao Xuan didn't move at all, allowing himself to be buried by the earth and rocks.

The Tianlong Pupil naturally transformed into source power breathing, absorbing sufficient energy for Gao Xuan's body.

The Tiangang armor naturally bore all the pressure and protected Gao Xuan's body.

For ordinary people, being crushed by billions of tons of earth would mean certain death. But for Gao Xuan, these earths posed no threat at all.

Compared with the concentrated energy wielded by the strong, no matter how powerful this natural force is, it is difficult to threaten a strong individual.

Gao Xuan now has only one thought: "I feel so tired, I want to sleep..."

Then, he really fell asleep.

In the battle with Xingguang, Gao Xuan had already used up all his strength. After being hit by the mechanical war cicada, his mental strength was seriously overdrawn.

Once he relaxes, he naturally falls into a deep sleep.

The violent tremors underground were transmitted to the surface, and many fighters in Raccoon City felt the slight tremors.

The surveillance satellites in the sky also discovered strong earthquakes underground in Raccoon City through high-definition optical lenses.

Through optical computer calculations, even the source of the earthquake can be calculated.

Yu Canghai received a detailed technical analysis a few minutes later.

In the command room, a huge light screen is using virtual animation images to display the vibration changes of the strata.

Yu Lingji judged: "It must be that the strong were fighting and destroyed the ground structure, which caused the earthquake."

She suggested, "Uncle, Gao Xuan must be fighting with the Zerg. Drop a nuclear bomb around this and Gao Xuan will be dead."

Yu Canghai was a little doubtful. It was a bit too hasty to judge that Gao Xuan was there based on an earthquake analysis alone.

Moreover, the epicenter is located dozens of kilometers underground, and it is not easy to drop a nuclear bomb at such a deep place.

A nuclear bomb loaded with a special warhead can penetrate the earth ten kilometers deep, but this is already the limit.

In this case, only robots and manual delivery can be used.

Seeing that Yu Canghai was a little hesitant, Yu Lingji suggested, "Why not activate the main gun of the space battle fortress?"

Yu Canghai asked: "Are you sure Gao Xuan is here?"

After taking a look at the tracking map, Yu Lingji said, "Gao Xuan hasn't moved. He should be in this range."

The accuracy of the tracking map is not that high, with an error of about 10 to 20 kilometers.

The Yulingji can only determine the approximate range of Gao Xuan's location, but cannot accurately locate him.

However, she felt that this positioning was sufficient because Gao Xuan was obviously not moving.

The tracking map also has restrictions and can only be used three times a day. This is the second time I have used it.

Yu Canghai didn't want to take the risk. It was easy to activate the main gun of the space fortress, but if he couldn't kill Gao Xuan, it would alert the enemy.

The space cannon is accurate enough to hit even basketball-sized targets hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.

The problem is that the main gun is too precise and concentrated, and the power range is very small. Without precise coordinates, it is difficult to hit Gao Xuan.

Yu Canghai thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, Gao Xuan will definitely gather at the central square of Raccoon City. It will be absolutely safe to drop the nuclear bomb at that time."

Yu Lingji was a little helpless, she felt that Yu Canghai was too conservative.

However, Yu Canghai was the commander and her elder. No matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to obey his orders.

Yu Lingji stared at the motionless red dot on the map unwillingly, wondering what Gao Xuan was doing

"Is he injured? That's why he's not moving?"

Unfortunately, her uncle didn't want to test it.

After a few minutes, the red dot on the tracking map slowly disappeared. Yu Lingji could only sigh helplessly.

She had a hunch that they had missed a great opportunity!
