If Gong Bao Ding was no match for Yan Bi Qing, at the critical moment, he could activate his hidden pawn to delay time for his escape.
Ding Ming Guang did not want Gong Bao Ding, still recovering from serious injuries, to die on a mission.
Without Wen Wen’s assistance, the fight between Yan Bi Qing and Gong Bao Ding soon entered its final stages. Although Gong Bao Ding tried his best, there was still a significant gap in their strength, and he ultimately failed.
He knelt on the ground, his flames weakening, the fire walls around him reduced to a thin layer, clearly unable to hold.
“As a superpowered individual who has mastered a realm, your strength is truly formidable, but I must still bury you here. What a shame.”
Despite saying it was a shame, his face held a sinister grin.
In the beginning, he had tried to learn how to be a human based on his original memories.
However, the events that transpired on his path of learning made him realize that he did not need to become human.
He was already a higher existence; why would he stoop to become inferior?
Screams, despair, and cries were what he desired. As for everything else, it was merely the influence of Yan Bi Qing’s consciousness.
Yan Bi Qing bent down, picked up a pebble the size of a bowl, weighed it in his hand, and looked at Gong Bao Ding with a cold sneer.
“Can flames block a stone!”
Green light flashed in his hand as he focused all his strength onto his palm, preparing to throw this stone.
The power of this stone would not be inferior to a cannonball!
Gong Bao Ding closed his eyes, having no strength left to dodge.
As Yan Bi Qing was about to throw the stone, a crisp sound echoed from within his body, and his data stream became disordered.
The thrown stone deviated from its course, whizzing past Gong Bao Ding’s head and directly snapping a large tree behind him in half!
“What… what is this?”
Blood gushed from the wounds. Yan Bi Qing waved his hands, trying to staunch the flow, but he had more than two wounds, and his hands were not enough to cover them all.
“Now your abilities are unusable, aren't they? With your physical condition, you’ll die without me even lifting a finger.”
Ding Ming Guang emerged from the shadows and looked at Yan Bi Qing, saying, “Teacher… no, perhaps I can no longer call you teacher. From now on, it will continuously disrupt your body.”
Upon arriving here, Ding Ming Guang found that this was the perfect opportunity he had been seeking. If he detonated the hidden pawn now, Yan Bi Qing would die immediately.
“Teacher, I have always respected you deeply. As your student, I must at least allow you to die as a human.”
“Heh… hehe… Hahaha!”
Yan Bi Qing burst into maniacal laughter. Green light enveloped his body, and the bleeding stopped. Ding Ming Guang’s expression changed drastically; he had lost contact with the hidden pawn!
“Among my students, you have always been very clever, but aren’t you a bit too confident?”
“I am not your student. Stop pretending to be my teacher,” Ding Ming Guang retorted.
“I am using his body, I possess his memories, why am I not him? Why have I been hunted by you all since birth?” Yan Bi Qing questioned.
Ding Ming Guang was left speechless.
“But none of that matters. As long as I deal with you, you will no longer be able to track me.”
Yan Bi Qing placed his hand on his chest and then pulled out a virtual monkey the size of a fist from his chest!
“I know you tampered with me, but I don’t know what you did. If you don’t detonate him, I will never be able to remove the hidden danger. Fortunately, you ultimately detonated the bomb you planted for this person.”
“However, I never expected that what you planted was your own ability. What would happen if I destroyed it?”
Ding Ming Guang’s face was grim. With his abilities, the only way to leave a mark on Yan Bi Qing without being discovered was to embed a program, the ‘Programmed Monkey,’ with a degree of self-awareness that could hide within Yan Bi Qing’s body.
To achieve this, his own abilities had declined during this period, but he never expected Yan Bi Qing to discover it in the end.
Yan Bi Qing did not delay. Green light flashed across his body, and the monkey in his palm let out a mournful cry before turning into fragments.
Ding Ming Guang also spat out a mouthful of blood. The destruction of the Programmed Monkey had a significant impact on him as well.
He temporarily lost all his abilities. Although the Programmed Monkey would revive in a few days, Ding Ming Guang highly doubted whether Yan Bi Qing would give him that much time.
“I’ll deal with him first. You’re useless now and pose no threat.”
Yan Bi Qing picked up another stone and prepared to throw it.
This time, Wen Wen, who was hidden in the shadows, had prepared a mouse. He wouldn’t let his first custodian die like this.
But soon, Wen Wen smiled and signaled the mouse to stay far away, observing from the sidelines.
Because he knew, this time, he was going to win!
The stone was thrown by Yan Bi Qing, but at that very moment, Gong Bao Ding’s body erupted in intense flames, transforming into a ball of fire several meters in diameter that engulfed him.
Before the stone could even reach his body, it melted into lava and fell to the ground.
The fireball floated into the air, and then a sharp cry pierced the sky.
A moment later, crimson, flame-wreathed wings pierced the massive fireball and unfurled violently, flames raining down like dazzling, dreamlike droplets.
What remained in the sky was a colossal bird with a wingspan of several meters.
With magma for its body and flames for its feathers, its head and tail were adorned with magnificent plumes formed from seven-colored flames. It was, unmistakably, a divine firebird!
Gong Bao Ding had completed his assimilation!
…
Outside the amusement park, Gao Fang sighed.
“Alas, this guy is truly unpromising. I not only have to guard against that mad detective but also prevent him from being killed by others.”
He took out a high-frequency walkie-talkie and prepared to throw it into the amusement park to allow Yan Bi Qing to escape.
This walkie-talkie was specially made; its signal transmission device was very difficult to jam, which was why Yan Bi Qing had managed to escape so many times.
Under the effect of his peculiar ability, the walkie-talkie flew out directly.
This was his ability to deliver prizes, and it was generally difficult to interrupt.
But at this moment, the walkie-talkie was intercepted by a large hand as broad as a cattail fan, which crushed it directly into pieces.
“Alas… this walkie-talkie is irreplaceable, even with money…”
Gao Fang reached out his hand, heartbroken, but it was too late.
Standing before him was a man as tall as a tower, clad in heavy iron armor. He stood there like a giant tin can.
“Strange, who are you?” Gao Fang tilted his head and asked the man.
“Who I am is not important. What’s important is… you will die here!”
The burly man said in a muffled voice, then charged at Gao Fang like a truck.
Gao Fang snorted softly. For anyone to casually say he would die here was an insult to his dignity.
He floated lightly towards the burly man, holding a rusty black iron nail, intending to kill him.
As a mere clone whose purpose was to entertain its host, Gao Fang himself possessed no offensive capabilities, but that black long nail did!
