Chapter 158

The standard sword in the middle-aged man's hand began to change. The originally normal blade had become T-shaped, which meant that a long piece of metal had been added to one side of the blade, the edge of which was curved backwards, as if to protect the wielder of the sword.

The shape of the sword has changed, is this a sign of a soul weapon activating its ability? Chen Di Xi slowed down his pace of attack and cautiously observed the middle-aged man, only to see the middle-aged man charging towards him with this strange T-shaped sword in his hand.

Feeling uncertain, Chen Di Xi chose to retreat. With his Biomass Gear, his speed and strength far surpassed the middle-aged man's. As he passed by the sporting goods section, Chen Di Xi grabbed two tennis balls.

He threw one of them at the middle-aged man wielding the sword with both hands. As the tennis ball flew towards him, the middle-aged man instinctively tried to dodge, but the tennis ball was immediately cut in half and bounced to the other side.

Did he swing his sword just now? Chen Di Xi glanced at the tennis ball that was cut in half, then ran away and threw another tennis ball at the middle-aged man.

Sure enough, as the tennis ball approached the middle-aged man, it was cut in half again. The middle-aged man only held the T-shaped sword in his hand without making any movements to swing it.

"After activating the ability, there's an invisible layer of protection around me. Anything that gets close to me will be cut open?" Perhaps Chen Di Xi really did have talent for combat. Although his combat skills were terrible and his current fighting prowess wasn't particularly high, his combat instincts were correct.

Whenever he encountered an enemy, he would be able to maintain his calm and quickly analyze the enemy's abilities, as well as his own advantage. As long as he gained enough combat experience, he would have the potential to become stronger.

This ability shouldn't last for too long, after all, it hasn't been too long since he obtained the Disasforce weapon and released his [Origin] " Chen Di Xi calmly analyzed: "I'll first use my speed advantage to kite him, wait until he's tired and his ability loses effect, then attack"

"Of course, there's a faster way as well" Chen Di Xi glanced at Lanshan who wasn't too far away. That girl seems to be his daughter, if I use her to threaten him, this battle will end even faster.

"Bastard, what are you trying to do!?" The middle-aged man noticed Chen Di Xi's gaze and angrily cursed. His speed seemed to have increased a bit as he wielded the T-shaped sword with both hands towards Chen Di Xi.

Chen Di Xi broke through the wall of the supermarket and landed on the street, his dull voice coming from under his Biomass Gear: "That is indeed one way, but don't worry, I won't do that"

"I can use any tactics in battle, but using the enemy's family to threaten them can't be called a tactic." Chen Di Xi slowly spoke: "Defeating you and taking away my Disasforce weapon is what I should be doing, I have no interest in killing my own kind"

Looking at the middle-aged man's slightly relieved expression, Chen Di Xi felt a sense of pride that his plan had worked. His words had weakened the middle-aged man's will to fight, as if he had given him a way out. It was as if he had surrounded three of them and one of them was missing, so that the man would not fight to the death with him.

Although the kiting tactic was successful, Chen Di Xi did not have it easy.

Firstly, the other party was not slow at all. Even though the first stage of release was mainly to obtain the power of origin and raise the quality of one's soul, one's physical constitution would also be enhanced.

Secondly, the other party's prediction was shockingly accurate, he was able to accurately predict where Chen Di Xi wanted to run to. If Chen Di Xi made a single mistake, the middle-aged man would be able to catch up to him, and Chen Di Xi wasn't sure if his Biomass Gear would be able to defend against the other party's ability.

Thirdly, although Chen Di Xi's Biomass Gear was shockingly effective, it also consumed quite a bit of energy. He could already sense the hunger signal from his Biomass Gear, so after this battle, he needed to have a feast to replenish his Biomass Gear.

"I can't, I can't hold on anymore" the middle-aged man breathed heavily. He could feel his head throbbing painfully, just as Chen Di Xi had predicted, he could sense that the ability he obtained from the first stage of release wasn't going to last much longer.

His ability was [Blade of Protection]. After using it, everyone around him would be protected by the blade, any attempt to attack him would be countered by the blade.

But if I give up, what about Lanshan? She's still young, how is she going to survive in this world? The middle-aged man's eyes were bloodshot, his head was about to split open, but when he thought of his daughter, he had no choice but to force himself to persevere.

This guy, why is he still persisting when there's no hope left? Chen Di Xi silently complained, the hunger he felt from his Biomass Gear was becoming more and more intense, to the point where it was starting to affect him.

He could tell that the other party was about to reach his limit, but he was still maintaining the same appearance on the surface, so why was the other party still persisting?

Is it because of my family? Chen Di Xi gritted his teeth, considering whether or not he should retreat. If he persisted any longer, his Biomass Gear might go on strike, which would put him in danger instead.

Although a Disasforce weapon was precious, it wasn't the only one he had. If the other party could still persist, giving up now was the right thing to do.

The middle-aged man glanced at his daughter who was huddled in a corner of the room, his thoughts blurred as the events of three days ago flashed through his mind.

His wife was infected by the germs and turned into a zombie, then attacked his daughter without any sense of reason. Fortunately, the middle-aged man managed to arrive in time and killed his wife who had turned into a zombie to protect his daughter.

This scene had left an indelible shadow in his daughter's heart, if he, as her father, was struck down in front of his daughter again, would it worsen her mental illness?

He wanted to protect his family, this was the only wish of this middle-aged man who had been tormented by life, so his ability was [Blade of Protection]. However, just like how he was willing to kill his wife who had turned into a zombie to protect his daughter, his ability also contained a type of variation.

Wielding the T-sword in his hand, he aimed at Chen Di Xi who was standing in front of him. To protect his family, the sword that was originally meant to protect had also become capable of harming others.

The middle-aged man abruptly swung his sword forward, then powerlessly collapsed to the ground.

The air was cut apart, the invisible blade flew forward and struck Chen Di Xi's chest. The jet-black Biomass armor was cut open, revealing the skin and flesh underneath. As his skin was cut open, blood splattered everywhere, causing Chen Di Xi to scream in pain.

His combat experience was still too lacking, he didn't expect the other party's ability to have such a variation, causing him to be heavily injured.

What was even more unbearable was that his Biomass armor was destroyed, causing him to feel an even greater sense of hunger. Whether it was to repair his Biomass armor or replenish his vitality, he needed to consume a large amount of food.
