In the abandoned factory district, at two in the morning, the cold wind sliced through the ruins like a rusty knife, emitting a mournful wail. The air was thick with the scent of machine oil and rust, mingled with a faint hint of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, heralding an impending storm.
The Lin Yuan team of five lay in wait like agile night owls, hidden in the shadows. Each held their breath, their heartbeats echoing loudly in the stillness of the night. The surrounding abandoned machinery cast bizarre shadows under the dim moonlight, as if harboring unknown dangers.
"This Nan Gong Xuan has quite the setup; one might think he's throwing a concert here," Zhou Haoran whispered, pointing toward the brightly lit factory in the distance. His tone was laced with excitement and a hint of mockery, as if he had discovered a new world.
Inside and outside the factory, Nan Gong Xuan's technologically armed forces stood ready. A dozen figures clad in black combat suits moved like phantoms within, wielding weapons that glimmered ominously—clearly not products of Earth’s technology. Laser guns, energy cannons, and several individuals carrying exaggerated plasma weapons resembled futuristic warriors straight out of a sci-fi movie, patrolling around the factory with vigilance.
"Such high-tech gear! I wonder if anything will drop when we start fighting—like some legendary +10 Dragon Slayer sword or something," Lin Yuan mused, stroking his chin with gleaming eyes as if he were exploring a game dungeon, almost rubbing his hands together in anticipation of opening treasure chests. He calculated that if he could snag some high-tech equipment, Su Jiu'er would surely be amazed when they returned.
"Boss, this is a tense battle moment; can you be serious for once? Do you think this is just a game? Equipment doesn’t drop!" Su Jiu'er sighed in exasperation, facepalming. At such a critical time, he was still thinking about loot. She really wanted to knock on Lin Yuan's head to see what was going on inside.
"Ahem, I’m just trying to lighten the mood; tension can lead to constipation, which isn’t good for our performance," Lin Yuan coughed lightly and said earnestly. "Everyone stay alert; Nan Gong Xuan isn’t to be trifled with. His tech is no joke; one misstep and we might end up back at square one."
Before he could finish speaking, the factory doors suddenly swung open, revealing Nan Gong Xuan standing before them. Dressed in silver battle armor that shimmered under the lights, he strode forward confidently with two burly men carrying massive energy cannons behind him—like an ancient emperor on parade. His imposing presence was nothing short of overwhelming as he approached Lin Yuan's team with steady steps.
"Lin Yuan, we meet again. I didn’t expect you to come knocking so soon; I thought you’d hide for a bit longer," Nan Gong Xuan’s voice dripped with mockery as if everything was under his control. A smirk curled at the corners of his mouth, exuding disdain.
"Yeah, I didn’t expect it either. But I’m not here to die; I’m here to send you back home," Lin Yuan shrugged casually as if chatting with an old friend. "Looks like you’re eager to hand over some gear; I truly appreciate it."
Nan Gong Xuan scoffed coldly. "Hand over gear? You must be dreaming! Today, I’ll show you what true power looks like! You’ll learn that technological strength is invincible!"
With a command given, battle erupted instantly. Laser beams, energy blasts, and plasma rays surged toward Lin Yuan's team like an unstoppable tide. A kaleidoscope of energy beams intertwined to form a massive web of light that enveloped the entire abandoned factory district.
The members of the team scrambled to evade, and Zhou Haoran unleashed his latest invention—the High-Tech Defense Barrier. A translucent energy shield instantly expanded, blocking all incoming energy attacks. The surface of the shield rippled, as if it could shatter at any moment.
“Boss, I can’t hold on much longer! The firepower is too intense! My defense barrier is about to give in; it feels like I’m taking a laser storm to the face!” Zhou Haoran's voice was tinged with panic. Although the defense barrier was impressive, it couldn't withstand the relentless bombardment from the enemy. He struggled to maintain the shield while calling for help.
“Don’t panic, watch me!” Lin Yuan shouted as he activated the Time Manipulator!
Time seemed to freeze; the energy beams hurtling toward them hung suspended in mid-air like fireflies caught in a spell, flickering with an eerie glow. Lin Yuan moved swiftly through the stillness, darting like a wraith among the enemy ranks.
“Now’s my chance!” Lin Yuan seized the moment, dashing into the fray. His fists and feet flew like the wind, sending future warriors scattering in disarray. Each punch was infused with powerful Lingqi, capable of tearing through steel.
Seeing this, Nan Gong Xuan's expression darkened as he entered the fray himself. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, unleashing a surge of Spiritual Energy Fluctuation that erupted from his body, transforming into swirling Data Streams that coiled around him like a Cyber Warrior. The Data Streams morphed continuously, sometimes resembling mighty dragons and other times fierce tigers, exuding both technological prowess and raw power.
“Lin Yuan, show me what you’ve got! Let’s see if your time manipulation can withstand my Data-Infused Qi Gong!” Nan Gong Xuan bellowed as he charged at Lin Yuan.
The two engaged in an intense battle, exchanging blows with dazzling techniques. Lin Yuan's time manipulation clashed with Nan Gong Xuan's High-Tech Qi Gong, igniting a storm of Lingqi that obliterated everything around them. The walls and floors of the abandoned factory were blasted into massive craters by shockwaves of energy, dust swirling up to obscure the sky.
As the fight escalated, Lin Yuan began to feel overwhelmed. Nan Gong Xuan's High-Tech Qi Gong was incredibly powerful, and his Brain-Computer Interface technology allowed him to predict Lin Yuan’s attacks, making it difficult for Lin Yuan to utilize his time manipulation effectively. He felt his body growing heavier and his breath more labored.
“Boss, watch out!” Su Jiu'er suddenly called out.
Lin Yuan quickly dodged just in time to see Nan Gong Xuan conjuring an Energy Lightsaber that glimmered with dazzling light, slicing toward him. The Energy Lightsaber cut through the air with a sharp whistle, as if it aimed to tear apart space itself.
In a critical moment, Su Jiu'er harnessed her Lingqi to form a barrier that intercepted Nan Gong Xuan’s attack. The surface of the barrier rippled but ultimately held firm against the onslaught of the Energy Lightsaber.
"Thank you, Jiu'er!" Lin Yuan said gratefully as he glanced at Su Jiu'er.
"Stop the chatter and finish the fight!" Su Jiu'er replied coldly. "I sensed that Nan Gong Xuan's weakness lies in his Brain-Computer Interface. If we destroy it, he will lose his combat ability!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's spirits lifted. He activated the Time Manipulator once more, slowing down the flow of time, and aimed for Nan Gong Xuan's Brain-Computer Interface before delivering a powerful punch.
Nan Gong Xuan was caught off guard; the punch struck his Brain-Computer Interface, causing it to malfunction instantly. He convulsed a few times before his gaze grew vacant, and the Energy Lightsaber in his hand vanished.
"You... you actually..." Nan Gong Xuan looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Sorry, but the outcome is decided," Lin Yuan said with a faint smile. "You lost."
At that moment, the ground suddenly trembled as a massive Lingqi Vortex appeared in the center of the factory, emanating a chilling aura.
"This is bad; it's a Lingqi trap!" Su Jiu'er exclaimed, her expression changing drastically. "Nan Gong Xuan activated it before he left!"
