Chapter 109 Titan Sunflower

　　Night.

　　Dark green moss covered the tree roots, rocks, and soil.

　　碎裂The shattered dry branches and leaves were mixed together, and small, unknown insects could be seen crawling quietly among them.

　　In the forest, Li Cheng颐 quietly held the golden sword, walking step by step towards his opponent.

　　Whoosh!

　　Suddenly, he stomped his foot, and his figure shot out like a sharp arrow, stepping on large patches of soil and碎叶.

　　Without any technique, only brute force, the golden sword swept out in a fan shape, slashing towards Zhou Yan's torso.

　　"Foolish!"

　　Zhou Yan retreated precisely, narrowly avoiding the sweeping sword, leaving only a sliver of space.

　　"If brute force was all that mattered, wouldn't all our years of hard study in weapon science be wasted!?"

　　He continued to retreat and evade, each dodge precisely avoiding Li Cheng頤's wild strikes.

　　The momentary distortion he had experienced earlier was inexplicable. His *Xingyun* Strike was assisted by chip-calculated trajectories and his own perception correction, making errors impossible.

　　Yet, unexpectedly, it had skewed towards the ground, resulting in a complete miss.

　　Having carried out missions for so many years, this was the first time Zhou Yan had encountered such a situation.

　　After a brief simulation and recollection, he realized that he had likely been affected by some kind of device the other party possessed.

　　Therefore, he adopted a strategy of evasion first, followed by observation.

　　In the darkness, moonlight scattered, penetrating the fog to form beams of light.

　　The two exchanged blows rapidly within these beams.

　　The golden sword continuously slashed out various arcs and straight lines of light, but it couldn't touch Zhou Yan.

　　And the strange situation from before hadn't reappeared.

　　"So, it relies on touch? As long as you can't touch me, you won't be able to activate that kind of influence!" Zhou Yan suddenly understood.

　　Li Cheng颐's heart tightened. This was the first time he had encountered such an opponent, or rather, an opponent who could truly see through his Flower Language ability.

　　The Flower Language ability was inherently powerful and unreasonable. But once someone saw through it and responded accordingly, it would be quite troublesome for him at his current stage.

　　Chiss!

　　In the instant he was distracted.

　　A pain spread from his side.

　　Li Cheng颐 stopped abruptly, rooted to the spot. He could feel that his right side, where the Flower Scale Armor had been damaged, had been cut again.

　　The opponent had specifically targeted the previous opening and precisely sliced through the bulletproof vest inside, causing real flesh wounds.

　　"What's wrong? Out of ideas?" Zhou Yan laughed. "What about your weird ability? Why don't you use it?"

　　He casually twirled his knife, circling Li Cheng颐 as he walked.

　　After only a few steps, he suddenly charged, dodging Li Cheng颐's slashing golden sword, and flashing past from the left.

　　Chiss!

　　Another wound appeared on the outside of Li Cheng颐's left arm.

　　"What's wrong? What about your ability from before? Use it!" Zhou Yan laughed.

　　Before his voice faded, he flashed again, rapidly moving around Li Cheng颐.

　　The blade light flickered, sometimes left, sometimes right.

　　Chiss!

　　Chiss!

　　Chiss!!

　　Cuts continuously appeared on Li Cheng頤's Flower Scale Armor.

　　He held the golden sword, panting, but he couldn't touch the opponent even once.

　　The gap between the two in weapon fighting skills and realm was too great.

　　If Li Cheng颐 was a novice, then Zhou Yan was at least a professional top-tier master. Even the teacher who taught Li Cheng颐 might not be his opponent.

　　As wounds continuously appeared on Li Cheng颐's body, pieces of his Flower Scale Armor began to fall off, clearly indicating it was about to fail.

　　His face was gloomy. Clearly, his speed and strength had been augmented by the Flower Scale Armor to be about the same as his opponent, but the actual fight revealed a huge difference.

　　With the same speed, he couldn't even touch the opponent once, only taking a beating from beginning to end.

　　'The Flower Scale Armor is about to break. I can't delay any longer. I must retreat first!' He estimated the time in his mind. Since he couldn't do anything to the opponent, he could only temporarily retreat, and after he had specifically improved his weapon fighting skills, he would come back to take revenge.

　　Immediately, Li Cheng颐 lunged to the right, charging towards the small villa.

　　He hadn't forgotten the real purpose of his visit, to find the notebook first.

　　This retreat caught Zhou Yan completely off guard.

　　"Trying to escape!?" Zhou Yan roared, following closely behind.

　　Having killed so many Complete Forms from their Ideal Home and caused so much resource loss, did he think he could just run away like that?

　　Without completely resolving the matter, how could Zhou Yan go back and report to Mr. X?!

　　The two, one in front and one behind, rushed towards the small villa.

　　Bang.

　　Li Cheng颐 crashed through the wooden door, violently冲入the hall.

　　Zhou Yan followed closely behind, slashing the remaining door panels with his knife, raising his hand to aim, and a muzzle below his forearm fired a bullet with a bang.

　　The sharp explosive bullet hit Li Cheng頤's back hard.

　　Boom!!

　　A white-red burst of fire exploded, accompanied by a huge impact, sending Li Cheng颐 flying forward, crashing into the corner of the stairs to the second floor.

　　A large area of the Flower Scale Armor on his back shattered, but the bulletproof vest blocked the remaining damage.

　　Without stopping, Li Cheng颐 rolled and rushed up the stairs to the second floor.

　　"Run, keep running!!" Zhou Yan raised his gun, firing a barrage of bullets.

　　Explosive bullets flew out one after another, from below, aiming at the second floor, blasting through the floorboards one by one, exploding into团团flames.

　　Boom boom boom boom!!

　　"You trash! Weren't you very嚣张just now? Cut me!? Come and cut me!?? Zhou Yan roared with laughter.

　　"I'm just standing here, come and cut me..."

　　"You're courting death!!!" Suddenly, Li Cheng颐's furious roar exploded from the second floor.

　　Rumble!!!

　　In an instant, the second-floor floor shattered.

　　A golden giant hand broke through the wooden floor and tiles, pressing down fiercely.

　　The golden giant hand was more than four meters in diameter, its entire body resembling metal, its palm covered in spikes.

　　The instant it pressed down, it completely covered all of Zhou Yan's evasive space.

　　Caught off guard, he had never expected such a large golden giant hand to suddenly appear.

　　By the time he reacted, there was no room to dodge in the narrow villa hall.

　　The golden hand filled his vision in the blink of an eye.

　　Boom!!!!

　　His entire body was hit by the giant hand and sank into the ground.

　　The smooth floor tiles shattered, but this blow didn't completely smash Zhou Yan.

　　He was only smashed so that his whole body's armor shattered and twisted, and some joints flickered with electricity.

　　But he could still move!

　　Before he could get up.

　　The giant hand grabbed him and smashed him against the ground in a frenzy.

　　Boom!

　　Boom!

　　Boom!

　　Boom!!!

　　Four times in a row.

　　Zhou Yan's arms were smashed off and flew away, one leg was completely bent backward, his torso collapsed, and even the embedded battery crystal shattered and dimmed.

　　"What the hell are you!!?" He screamed in horror and anger.

　　But his head was immediately grabbed by the giant hand and slammed hard into the ground.

　　Bang!!

　　His entire head was forcibly smashed off his body.

　　Even so, Zhou Yan hadn't lost consciousness.

　　His eyes flashed red, staring intently along the arm of the golden giant hand, looking up.

　　The arm extended upwards, becoming thinner and thinner, and then connected to a golden armored figure about 1.8 meters tall.

　　The armored figure was covered in golden, shiny甲片, its head shaped like the Chinese character 山, and delicate wing-like patterns on its ears.

　　Its left forearm had a small round shield, also golden.

　　The right hand was equipped with the enormous golden giant hand that had just exploded with power.

　　The entire armor surface was covered with simplified, twisted sunflower patterns.

　　In the center of its chest was a crystal-like golden disc. Inside, golden mist vaguely flowed.

　　"What... are you!?" The red light in Zhou Yan's eyes flashed rapidly.

　　Pfft.

　　His head was crushed into pieces by the golden giant hand.

　　The sound stopped abruptly.

　　At the same time.

　　Thousands of kilometers away from the small villa, inside an underground溶洞.

　　Inside a secret room hidden deep underground, stood a huge dark green crystal pillar.

　　Inside the crystal pillar, a modified mechanical body immersed in green solution suddenly lit up with red eyes.

　　Bang!

　　The modified person shattered the crystal glass in front of him with a punch and stepped out.

　　"Damn it!!" Zhou Yan's voice came from its mouth. At the same time, silver particles slowly emanated from its entire body, and all the particles, as if alive, condensed and simulated real human skin and flesh on his body.

　　"Did that guy switch bodies at the last moment!? Does such technology exist now?"

　　He couldn't understand.

　　He was clearly in absolute control just a second ago, but he was suddenly reversed and killed.

　　This was simply a joke!!

　　Recalling the golden giant hand he had just encountered, a look of anger appeared on Zhou Yan's face.

　　That thing didn't even conform to physics from its appearance!?

　　How could such a heavy and large hand maintain its balance without flipping itself over??

　t understand!

　　*

　　The flames gradually engulfed the entire villa, illuminating a small area of the night sky.

　　Li Cheng颐 slowly walked down the stairs, holding a gray-white notebook in his hand.

　　He had just found it under the floor.

　　But unfortunately, it was blank, with nothing on it.

　　'The notebook must have been taken by those people!' He concluded in his heart.

　　At this time, he was wearing a brand new set of golden armor, the Titan Sunflower Flower Scale Armor he had recently acquired.

　　This Flower Scale Armor was very mediocre and ordinary in other aspects. Its protection was slightly weaker than Wisteria's, but stronger than Gladiolus'. The pattern was the same as before, with slender sunflower patterns covering the entire body.

　　Only one point distinguished it from the other two Flower Scale Armors.

　　That was—the right hand.

　　The huge right hand!

　　This set of Sunflower Flower Scale Armor had a golden giant hand that could extend and retract, with a diameter of more than four meters, nearly five meters.

　　The palm of the giant hand was covered with slightly black, sharp spikes, like sunflower seeds.

　　The arm was covered in patterns, resembling assembled metal parts, with gaps between the patterns.

　　Compared to the balance of Wisteria and the sharpness and sturdiness of Gladiolus, the only unique feature of this Sunflower Flower Scale Armor was this golden right hand, which was astonishing in both weight and volume.

　　Estimating from the weight of the smash just now, Li Cheng颐 felt that this right hand alone weighed at least five tons.

　　And it was extremely hard. When controlling it, he didn't feel it was very heavy at all, only slightly heavier than a normal arm.
