"It seems I arrived just in time."
A familiar voice emerged from the smoke, and Lin Yuan and Su Jiu'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Zhou Haoran strode in, holding a uniquely designed high-tech syringe.
"Doctor Zhou, you finally made it!" Lin Yuan grinned, "If you had come any later, we would have turned into Lingqi barbecue."
Zhou Haoran glanced around the chaotic laboratory, raising an eyebrow. "Looks like you all had quite the party. This place is messier than the operating room during my last surgery."
Nan Gong Xuan coldly regarded the suddenly appearing Zhou Haoran, a hint of disdain flickering in her eyes. "Another one here to seek death. Do you really think this handful of people can stop my plan?"
"Oh dear, miss," Zhou Haoran shook his head dramatically, "you've got it all wrong. We're not here to seek death; we're here to bring you warmth."
Nan Gong Xuan was momentarily taken aback by Zhou Haoran's words, unsure how to respond. Just then, the laboratory alarm blared again.
"Countdown: twenty seconds. The Spiritual Energy Channel will soon be fully activated. All personnel must evacuate immediately."
Lin Yuan glanced at Su Jiu'er and Zhou Haoran beside him, then at the imposing Nan Gong Xuan and her subordinates across from them, and couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. "This script doesn't seem right; shouldn't there be a twist at this point?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wall on the other side of the laboratory suddenly exploded, debris flying as a figure shot in like a cannonball.
"Hahaha! The main character has arrived; villains, tremble!" Zhang Qiang flipped through the air and landed in an exaggerated pose. " Hero Zhang is here!"
Lin Yuan facepalmed with a sigh. "I take back what I said; having no twist is better than having this kind of twist."
Nan Gong Xuan looked at the bizarre group before her, her brow furrowing. "Who are you people? Why are you trying to stop my plan?"
"We," Lin Yuan grinned widely, "are just a bunch of ordinary citizens who love peace and uphold justice. You know how it is; we can't stand by while bad people do evil."
"Ridiculous!" Nan Gong Xuan snorted coldly. "You have no idea what you are preventing. Once this Spiritual Energy Channel is opened, it will bring us infinite power and resources. We can change this world and create a stronger civilization!"
"Wow, that sounds impressive," Zhou Haoran feigned admiration. "But I have a small question: are you sure opening this channel won't turn us all into Lingqi jerky?"
Nan Gong Xuan was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Ten seconds remaining," the Cold Electronic Sound echoed again.
"Enough!" Nan Gong Xuan shouted furiously. "No matter who you are, you will die here today!" She raised her hand sharply, and a powerful Spiritual Energy Fluctuation instantly swept through the entire laboratory.
Lin Yuan and the others felt an invisible force slam into them, as if they had been struck by a speeding truck, sending them flying.
"Damn! Is this woman on steroids?" Zhang Qiang tumbled in the air before barely regaining his footing. "She’s stronger than my ex-girlfriend!"
Nan Gong Xuan walked forward with a cold smile, each step creating ripples of Lingqi that made the ground tremble slightly. A blinding blue light gathered in her palm, resembling a small star on the verge of exploding.
"Now, let me show you what true power is!" Nan Gong Xuan sneered as she hurled the Spiritual Energy Ball towards Lin Yuan and the others.
In a critical moment, Lin Yuan activated the Time Manipulator. The world seemed to be pressed into slow motion; the Spiritual Energy Ball moved slowly through the air, while everything around it became blurred.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, focusing all his attention as he calculated the trajectory of the Spiritual Energy Ball with precision. Just as it was about to hit them, he swung his hand sharply, and an invisible force field suddenly appeared, deflecting the Spiritual Energy Ball towards the ceiling of the laboratory.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the entire laboratory shook. Amidst the rising dust and smoke, Lin Yuan saw an expression of disbelief spread across Nan Gong Xuan's face.
"This... how is this possible?" Nan Gong Xuan looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief. "How could you dodge my attack?"
Lin Yuan shrugged, a cheeky smile on his face. "Maybe it's because I'm handsome."
"Enough with the nonsense!" Su Jiu'er suddenly shouted. "Look at that device!"
Everyone turned to follow her gaze, and they saw the Lingqi Channel Device in the center of the laboratory shaking violently, a blinding white light erupting from its core as if it were about to tear apart the very fabric of space.
"The countdown has ended. The Spiritual Energy Channel activation program is starting," a cold electronic voice announced.
"Hahaha!" Nan Gong Xuan laughed maniacally. "You are all too late! The Spiritual Energy Channel is about to fully open, and this world will welcome a new order!"
In that critical moment, Zhou Haoran suddenly dashed towards the device. The high-tech syringe in his hand glimmered with an eerie light as he shouted while running, "Lin Yuan, cover me! I'm going to give this big guy a shot!"
Lin Yuan immediately understood and activated the Time Manipulator once more. Time slowed down again, and he saw Nan Gong Xuan and her subordinates slowly turning around, trying to stop Zhou Haoran.
"Zhang Qiang, Su Jiu'er, get ready for battle!" Lin Yuan shouted as he charged towards Nan Gong Xuan.
Zhang Qiang excitedly waved his fists. "Finally, it's my turn to shine! Watch my Tai Chi Panda Fist!"
Meanwhile, Su Jiu'er quietly took out her Ancient Compass, murmuring incantations as a faint blue light enveloped the three of them.
Seeing this, Nan Gong Xuan snorted coldly. "You overestimate yourselves!" With a wave of her hands, dozens of Spiritual Energy Blades whistled through the air towards Lin Yuan and his companions.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and moved like a ghost through the oncoming Spiritual Energy Blades, each movement perfectly timed to evade the deadly attacks. Zhang Qiang, on the other hand, swung his fists with apparent clumsiness but executed them in a surprisingly skillful manner, smashing through the incoming Spiritual Energy Blades with sheer force.
"Haha, this is exhilarating!" Zhang Qiang laughed heartily. "It's way more thrilling than playing video games!"
Su Jiu'er’s defensive barrier proved to be immensely effective, deflecting most of the Spiritual Energy Blades. However, her face grew increasingly pale, clearly indicating that maintaining this defense was draining her considerable energy.
Seeing her attack thwarted, Nan Gong Xuan's expression darkened further. She quickly formed seals with her hands in front of her chest, chanting an obscure incantation.
"Not good!" Lin Yuan's expression changed. "She's about to unleash a big move!"
Sure enough, as the last syllable left Nan Gong Xuan's lips, the air in the entire laboratory seemed to freeze. A terrifying pressure surged from all directions, and Lin Yuan felt as if he had been thrown into the depths of the ocean, making it difficult to breathe.
"This is... Spiritual Pressure!" Su Jiu'er managed to say with great difficulty. "She’s using the device to activate the Spiritual Energy Channel, forcibly drawing in the surrounding Lingqi!"
Nan Gong Xuan's body began to glow, countless tiny Lingqi Particles swirling around her, forming a massive Lingqi Vortex. Her eyes turned pure white, and her voice carried an otherworldly authority:
"Foolish mortals, witness true power! Spirit Energy Storm!"
A violent Spirit Energy Storm erupted from Nan Gong Xuan's center, tearing apart everything in its path. The walls, floor, and ceiling of the laboratory twisted and warped under this force, as if they could collapse at any moment.
Lin Yuan and the others were thrown back by this power, crashing heavily against the wall. Even with Su Jiu'er’s defensive barrier, they felt intense pain coursing through their bodies, as if their bones were about to shatter.
"Damn it... Is this the strength of the Qi Gong Association?" Lin Yuan gritted his teeth as he stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
At that moment, an unexpected voice rang out:
"Got it!"
The crowd turned in surprise towards the source of the voice, only to see Zhou Haoran standing beside the Lingqi Channel Device, the high-tech syringe in his hand now empty. The device's vibrations suddenly ceased, and the blinding white light gradually faded away.
"What... what did you do?" Nan Gong Xuan looked at Zhou Haoran in disbelief.
Zhou Haoran proudly waved the syringe in his hand. "Oh, nothing much. Just gave this big guy an Antipyretic Injection."
"Impossible!" Nan Gong Xuan shouted angrily. "How could a mere doctor possibly crack such a complex device?"
Zhou Haoran shrugged. "Who says doctors can't understand technology? This is a special drug that combines the latest nanotechnology and bioengineering, specifically designed to deal with disobedient 'viruses' like you."
Before Nan Gong Xuan could respond, she suddenly felt her Lingqi begin to spiral out of control. In horror, she realized that her proud ability to manipulate Lingqi was rapidly fading.
"No... this can't be... my power!" Nan Gong Xuan cried out in pain as she collapsed to the ground, the light surrounding her gradually extinguishing.
Seizing the opportunity, Lin Yuan dashed forward and concentrated all his Lingqi into his right hand, delivering a powerful blow to her chest.
"Bang!"
Nan Gong Xuan flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily against the wall before sliding down to the ground, lifeless.
The laboratory fell into silence, broken only by the faint humming of the Lingqi Channel Device.
Lin Yuan let out a long sigh of relief and turned to his companions. "Everyone, great job."
Zhang Qiang grinned widely. "No problem! But can we please face a gentler opponent next time? This woman was way too ruthless."
Su Jiu'er put away the compass, a tired yet satisfied smile on her face. "Finally, it's over."
Zhou Haoran walked over and patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder. "Not bad, young man. Looks like I taught you well."
Lin Yuan rolled his eyes. "Come on, if it weren't for your 'Antipyretic Injection' just now, we might have turned into Lingqi steam by now."
As everyone shared a laugh, a cold voice suddenly rang out:
"Do you think this is over?"
Everyone turned sharply to see Nan Gong Xuan staggering to her feet. Her eyes sparkled with madness, and a strange smile crept across her lips.
"The activation procedure for the Spiritual Energy Channel cannot be stopped. Even if you temporarily halted it, as long as I am alive, this plan will be completed!" Nan Gong Xuan laughed maniacally. "You have no idea what you're up against!"
She suddenly raised her right hand, and a blinding red sphere of light began to form in her palm.
"This is... the forbidden Spirit Control Technique!" Su Jiu'er exclaimed. "She wants to take us all down with her!"
Lin Yuan's heart raced as he realized the gravity of the situation. He knew that if this madwoman truly detonated that sphere of Lingqi, the entire laboratory would be reduced to rubble, and they would all be obliterated.
In a split second, Lin Yuan decisively activated the Time Manipulator's strongest mode—Time Reversal!
The world seemed to hit rewind, everything rapidly reversing around them.
