Chapter 296: The Great Escape

“Weakening, it has truly weakened!”

The “Disaster Core,” noticing this fact, was extremely excited, but he also saw the horrible state of the man earlier, so he cautiously raised morale through the communicator while controlling his volume.

However, they could not let their guard down; they had already made the same mistake once tonight. If it weren’t for the timely arrival of the “Blood Puppet,” the first team would likely have lost all their members by now.

Thinking of this, he once again manipulated that power not his own, trying to gather it into his palm, ready to deliver a deadly blow to the griffin.

The opportunity he awaited quickly arrived; the griffin in the sky had reached the end of its strength, showing noticeable declines in both flight speed and attack intensity.

Now, it had once again begun to engage in close combat with the “Blood Puppet.”

This was the chance he had been waiting for!

After glancing at “Holy Shield,” both sides understood what the other wanted to convey.

The body of the “Disaster Core” bent slightly, coiled like a powerful bow ready to release.

“Bang!”

He shot upward, his body straight as an arrow, aiming directly for the side of the griffin’s abdomen.

Inside the griffin, Lin Qingliu easily sensed this. While internally mocking this backfiring “xx Divine Palm,” he began to consider if this could serve as his lethal exit strike.

It was indeed a safe method, but it was not the optimal solution to extract the maximum value from the situation.

Realizing this, the griffin suddenly twisted its body in the sky, moving so fast and with such strength that it seemed to have discarded its backbone.

In an instant, it adjusted its position, causing the deadly blow that should have struck its side to hit a hind leg instead.

And in the next moment, it severed the connection with that leg.

Under the watchful eyes of the superpowered individuals in Hope City, the griffin’s entire leg exploded, an indescribable mixture of substances raining down like a torrential downpour onto the crowd below.

The griffin let out a feigned wail, enough to lift the spirits of many superpowered individuals.

But this attack seemed to have a counterproductive effect; the griffin, having lost a leg, entered a berserk mode and began to batter the “Blood Puppet,” its sanity either completely lost or experiencing a last burst of energy.

The onslaught of attacks came like a storm, forcing the blood-colored crystals on the Blood Puppet to transform into a shield to block most of the strikes.

This caused him to begin plummeting from the sky.

Fortunately, Holy Shield caught the “Blood Puppet” in time, but things did not progress as he had imagined.

The crazed griffin, with its eyes now reddened, did not take advantage of its victory to continue attacking; instead, it turned its sharp beaked head to aim at the superpowered individuals below acting as anti-aircraft guns.

Wang Xiao felt the extraordinary beast’s gaze land on him; he seemed to lack any long-range attack ability and had only been anxiously waiting. Why did this creature appear to be locking onto him?

Wang Xiao did not know what the extraordinary beast was thinking, but Lin Qingliu was indeed observing him closely, as he needed to design the optimal path for a fatal blow.

Thus, the powerful Fifth Level extraordinary beast descended from the sky, seemingly tired and bored with aerial combat. It almost did not spread its wings for a buffer as it came down.

With only Three Legs left, the griffin, like a crazed beast, began its final struggle—it started rolling on the ground!

An unexpected scene appeared around the spire; the griffin, seemingly combining the strengths of all extraordinary beasts from First Level to Fourth Level, attacked in such a way.

But soon, some individuals began to understand the meaning of this behavior.

Although the rolling attack appeared comical and somewhat indicative of a furious ineptitude, it was capable of inflicting significant damage to the gathered humans.

Because this giant griffin now sported a body full of Iron Feathers.

Sharp feathers sliced like blades, cutting into the flesh of some unfortunate souls as they tumbled.

Not everyone was as fearless as Wang Xiao when it came to lacerations.

In an instant, three or four people bore dozens of bloody gashes, and the intense pain swiftly cleared their eyes.

Among the orderly retreat of the superpowered individuals, only one person remained unafraid—that was the exceptionally talented Wang Xiao.

At this moment, he became the lone runner against the tide among the remaining dozen superpowered individuals, charging straight towards the rolling griffin.

Compared to the retreating other superpowered individuals, his expression was calm and determined, as if he understood the kind of pain he was about to face.

In this moment, even Lin Qingliu, inside the extraordinary beast, couldn’t help but give a thumbs up:

“Yes, just like that! Show your worth in front of everyone!”

Although Lin Qingliu wasn’t fond of showing off in front of others, he was quite familiar with some clichéd plotlines.

Seeing Wang Xiao moving against the flow alone, he felt his effort had not been wasted.

“Well done!”

The final value of this extraordinary beast’s life was to become the staircase for Wang Xiao’s rise, forever stepped on by him and remembered by others!

As the extraordinary beast rolled wildly, Wang Xiao leaped high into the air, and the two collided in midair.

Clearly, Wang Xiao was pierced like a sieve in a very short time.

But it was not over yet; this low-profile Third Level superpowered individual pulled himself free from the spikes and forcefully grasped the griffin’s elongated beak.

In the next moment, his ability to absorb life force began to operate at full power.

At this moment, the situation of the battle flipped.

The beast, rolling faster, started to exhaust its strength, and those attacks that had been left far behind soon caught up.

The smooth ground thrust up spikes, dark shadows emerged with countless hands, and a volley of ray cannons successfully locked onto their target.

Coupled with Wang Xiao’s continuous bloodletting of the extraordinary beast, everything finally reached a conclusion.

Amidst the relentless human assault, the beast finally flung Wang Xiao off its body.

But it was too late—just as Wang Xiao was thrown into the air, the ray cannon completely shattered the beast’s skull.

Soon after, dirt and shadows tightly bound it, and sharp rock spikes began to pierce in and out of the extraordinary beast’s body.

Wave after wave of energy-laden attacks struck it.

Under the constant cover of fire, the extraordinary beast finally ceased to breathe.

Everyone rejoiced, everyone rejoiced.

After a bitter struggle, humanity finally welcomed its victory.

They celebrated their triumph over the extraordinary beast once more.

And Lin Qingliu was equally glad; he had already severed his connection with the Biological Armor the moment after Wang Xiao was thrown out, initiating the Dimensional Shift to escape the humanoid body.

While the firepower continued above, only the muscles and nerves sustained by the remaining life force in the humanoid body responded, but Lin Qingliu had already submerged into the soil below, commencing the final step of his plan.

The Great Escape was a perfect success!
