Peerless Genius System

Chapter 661: The fight

Everyone watching the giant screens in the command center was stunned by Xiao Luo's superhuman ability. Xiao Luo used his unique technique, Qinggong without Equal, to travel across the Mojave Desert plains, flying across it like a divine being. Though, he was not flying. He bounded in great leaps over tens of meters but left no footprints on the sand.

The wind screamed past his ears as he blazed through the plains at an extreme speed!

Although using the Qinggong technique took a toll on his inner power, Xiao Luo still enjoyed the exhilaration of riding the wind and soaring in the air. The federal government agencies had predicted correctly. The target was undoubtedly the Invisible Jet Research Base, which had been built in secrecy here in the Mojave Desert. It was a project funded by the Mei nation with enormous capital expenditure, and it took three long years to establish the site. But what was more concerning was that the development of the invisible jet had reached its most crucial stage at present.

Xiao Luo had come to the Mei nation to seek revenge. Therefore, he would naturally not miss such a perfect opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Mei nation. Once Xiao Luo destroyed this secret research base, it was mission accomplished, and it would be time to return to his own country. As he thought of Su Li waiting for him in Xia Hai, his feelings toward his role as her husband became stronger.

"Xiao Luo, stop right there!"

Suddenly, a harsh voice boomed across the desert like a thunderous roar.

Xiao Luo landed lightly on the desert sand and stood firm as he came to a halt. When he turned around, he saw a sandstorm approaching him swiftly. There was a human-like silhouette before the sandstorm, running at full speed, and it was traveling fast. It was almost approaching the speed of Xiao Luo's unique Qinggong, and Xiao Luo realized the frenzied pace of this unknown figure created the sandstorm.

The unknown figure rapidly closed the gap of a few hundred meters within a few seconds!

In the raging sandstorm, Xiao Luo finally recognized this person's identity. He had shimmering skin that was metallic grey, and his muscles, particularly on the lower body, were large and well-defined, looking like two steel boards. His nails reflected with a cold light under the sun like ten machetes.

"So, it's you!"

Although his appearance had transformed and he was no longer handsome, Xiao Luo could still recognize him at a glance. He now looked like a horrible ghost, and it was not surprising to Xiao Luo that he was none other than Ian. He had long guessed that Ian was the genetic warrior of the Mei nation.

Ian had entered the warrior mode, and the level of his body strength peaked. His eyes were now green, and the skin around his eyes creased like a reptile's. His veins were popping and throbbing as if they would burst anytime.

"No wonder I did not have a good feeling about you ever since we first met. We are enemies, after all," Ian declared.

"Are we enemies?"

Xiao Luo joked and added, "I have no beef with you, Ian."

"You're the genetic warrior of the Hua nation, and I'm the genetic warrior of the Mei nation. Although we have no personal disputes, we're still enemy by default," Ian answered.

"Who said I was a genetic warrior?" Xiao Luo replied, somewhat amused.

Ian frowned at Xiao Luo's response. "Aren't you one? Only a genetic warrior can exceed a human's physical limits. There's no other possibility."

"Don't you know about the kung fu from the Hua nation?" Xiao Luo said, smiling mirthlessly.

"Nonsense. The kung fu of Hua nation is nothing but a fancy performance. We can only use it for shows and entertainment activities. It's wishful thinking to believe you can exceed a human's limit with kung fu," Ian scowled.

Xiao Luo shook his head and said, "I am sorry, but what I use is real kung fu!"

As Xiao Luo finished speaking, he thrust his palm toward Ian and sent out a force that kicked up a sandstorm. The earth shook as the energy surged from his palm with tsunami-like force and produced a thunderous roar like a raging dragon.

The storm threw sand and rock up high into the sky like snow in a blizzard. Xiao Luo's inner force compressed and crushed the swirling particles, turning them to dust that hung in the air before slowly drifting down like rain in slow motion.

It was the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, using seventy percent of its power!

Ian stood motionless like a mountain in the tornado of inner power. He resembled a gray deity that did not move an inch, unaffected by the force that smashed into him. He made the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms appear like a weak gust of wind blowing past him.

"Kung fu?"

Ian smiled mirthlessly and said, "It's nothing more than a scratch to me. After I kill you, I will fulfill the promise I made earlier on. I will go to the Hua nation and murder every so-called kung fu master there, just like how I'd kill livestock."

"I'm afraid that you're incapable of doing that. I'm saying this only once, get the hell out of here, and I will let you go. I can tell that Huang Ruoran genuinely likes you, and it would please me to see you guys make it to the wedding altar. You're no match for me," Xiao Luo said to dissuade him from taking further action.

"Haha, haha…"

Ian started laughing as if he had just heard a hilarious joke, and there was nothing but disdain in his smile. "With this body, I can withstand a tank's bombard without getting harmed. Do you think I am no match for you? Is every Hua national as arrogant as you are?"

"Ian, you're a genetic warrior—one who had kept his memory as a human. Don't you hate the federal government for using you as a lab rat for their human subject in such ungodly experiments?" Xiao Luo reasoned.

His words somehow reached the softer side of Ian, for his experience inside the lab was a terrifying living nightmare. He endured the worst and the most horrifying procedures, and it felt like being tortured in hell. It would be a complete lie if he said that he did not hate the federal government. He had wanted to wipe out the entire government at least a thousand times, and even that was not enough to explain the hatred he harbored toward the federal government.

However, he needed them to stay alive, and besides, he had now met the love of his life. He wanted to be with her forever. So, he had to continue serving them as their loyal dog.

He smiled coldly and replied, "That's none of your business. All you need to know is that you will die today!"

"ROAR!"

He let out a thunderous bellow and charged toward Xiao Luo like a beast. Although he was a large man, his speed was lightning fast and his attack was extremely threatening. Ian intended to kill Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo squinted, realizing that he might have underestimated Ian's strength. He did not expect Ian to have such strong, explosive power.

Before Xiao Luo could even react, Ian was already smashing into his stomach like an armored vehicle. It was a solid tackle that would have destroyed anything in its way.

BLAM!

Xiao Luo doubled over from the ferocious blow and was thrown back, sailing in the air for quite a distance.

"Haha, haha…"

Ian did not stop after the blow. He laughed maniacally and continued to charge into Xiao Luo. He predicted Xiao Luo's trajectory and leaped into the air to a height of six-meter-high air, intending to strike down like thunder.

Bounding through the air in a striking posture, Ian appeared like a mountain crashing down with devastating force.

Swerving his body like a nimble monkey, Xiao Luo quickly forced his body to turn in midair and landed on the ground sooner than Ian expected.

BOOM!

Ian crashed into the desert in a deafening explosion, and the impact sent a tremor across the entire ground. The blast threw sand and rock up into the air as if a bomb had been detonated in the area. The force sent waves of energy outward and sent the sandstorm blowing across the desert.
