Chapter 1410 - Si Kongchen at Level-Nine

The two level-eight beings floated in the sky, facing each other, battling. In the meantime, they were also doing a verbal fight.

“You’re not planning to go home alive, are you? I was looking for you, and you kindly brought yourself to me!” While trying to suppress Lin Qiao’s black fire, Si Kongchen glared at her and said loudly.

“Oh, do you think that you can make me stay here forever?” said Lin Qiao to him with composure, “You can certainly try, though. I don’t plan to leave soon anyway.”

Sensing the look on her face and her tone, Si Kongchen almost coughed blood with anger. He clenched his teeth so tight as he spoke to her, “What else do you want to do?”

He was in such a fury that he almost exploded. However, as the real battle started, he realized that his opponent wasn’t easy to deal with. After that, he restrained his impulse and forced himself to calm down. Based on what she said, he figured that she still had some further plans.

“I want you and the entire Huaxia Base to know that you aren’t the ruler of the time. You guys don’t have that kind of quality and power!” Lin Qiao erased the smile on her face and said to Si Kongchen coldly. After that, she suddenly raised an arm and sent a series of black fire streams toward him. Next, she turned herself invisible and swiftly moved toward his back.

The fire streams flew at Si Kongchen’s face at lightning speed. He hurriedly turned his body to dodge, and right after that, he abruptly turned back and moved to the side fleetingly. He sensed the danger coming from behind him, so he automatically dodged.

Lin Qiao missed her target, so she showed her face and glanced at Si Kongchen with disappointment while knitting her brows. Something didn’t seem right with him.

She had been having that feeling since the very beginning.

Both he and she were at level-eight, but he was able to sense her presence while she was invisible. Not even Wu Chengyue could do that.

That was unreasonable!

Si Kongchen either had a second superpower that allowed him to be extra sensitive or was at a higher level than he seemed to be. He was probably at the peak of level-eight, only a breath away from level-nine. Or maybe he had entered level-nine already but had been hiding his real power. Had he used that power-boosting drug already?

After the face-to-face battle, Lin Qiao realized that killing Si Kongchen might not be as easy as she estimated. The man was probably stronger than people thought!

Lin Qiao paused as she turned and looked at Si Kongchen.

“Roar!” Once she turned, an enormous, purple-red fire lion pounced on her, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws. The fire lion was generated from solid fire energy. Therefore, its teeth and claws, and even tails were all highly dangerous.

Lin Qiao raised a hand and threw a black fireball into the lion’s mouth. At the same time, she moved backward to dodge.

“Hrrr!” The purple-red fire lion jumped to where she was standing before, treading on the air. It caught the black fireball with its mouth and swung its head to spit it out.

It didn’t swallow the black fireball, because Si Kongchen didn’t let it.

“Do you think that you can still leave? How naive!” At that very moment, Si Kongchen suddenly showed up before Lin Qiao’s face and said to her ferociously. Next, his vibe started growing rapidly, breaking from level-eight into level-nine within a blink and also turning agitated. Within that very short span of time, he turned into a level-nine superpowered man from a level-eight one. That level-nine vibe that he gave out even made Lin Qiao feel a pressure!

Lin Qiao reacted swiftly by moving hundreds of meters away from him with one single step.

“Wanna run? Do you think you can run?” Si Kongchen’s face twisted with a vicious look. He glared at Lin Qiao fiercely, looking like a mad lion. If he had sharp teeth and claws, he would have bared them to threaten her.

He lunged at Lin Qiao once he finished talking while wielding an arm. Following his move, a few enormous fire beasts showed up in the sky and jumped at Lin Qiao’s black fire, tearing it with their teeth and claws.

It only took them a few seconds to tear Lin Qiao’s black fire apart.

They miraculously tore the black fire apart! The black fire was covering the sky like a massive dark cloud, but those fire beasts tore it into pieces as though it was a piece of rag.

As the fire broke, Lin Qiao suffered a counterforce, which gave her a swelling headache.

She hurriedly cut off the connection between herself and the dark fire in the sky. After that, she swiftly moved to the side because a fire snake was flying at her. The snake was letting out its fork tongue, fixing its eyes on her as if she were its prey. Its rhombic eyes were filled with fire but giving out a coldness.

Lin Qiao darted to the side and created a safe distance from Si Kongchen. As he wasn’t chasing her, she looked at him with a frown and said, “You’ve been hiding your true power quite well. Do you think you can rule all human bases only with your level-nine power?”

“The weak people yield to the strong one. That’s the law of nature. What’s wrong about that?” Si Kongchen gave her a twisted smile and said.

“So, if there’s someone stronger than you, will you and your base yield to it?” said Lin Qiao.

Si Kongchen didn’t answer her question immediately. Two seconds later, he said with scorn, “Can you find someone stronger than me? Wu Chengyue? Not even his lightning power can defeat me now.”

“There is, of course, someone stronger than you. It lives underground. Why don’t you go down there and deal with it? Don’t forget that you guys created it!” Lin Qiao reminded him with a cold voice, “A level-nine underground creature is waiting for you down there.”

“Why should I listen to you? Don’t you underestimate me! I didn’t create it. The one who created it has been killed by you. It was Professor Bai!” Si Kongchen didn’t take Lin Qiao’s words seriously and suddenly moved.

When he made that move, Lin Qiao sensed chilliness from behind her and automatically leaped sideways. Next, she turned back to find Si Kongchen standing where she was standing before. She then twirled to the other side but didn’t see him where he was supposed to be.
