Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 196: Zhang Xiao’s Awakening (Part )
Dracula's pupils dilated, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

The astonishment was quickly replaced by coldness, and more than a dozen tentacles grabbed Cheng Xiao fiercely, exceeding the speed of sound and almost blocking all the gaps around Cheng Xiao.

However, if we say almost, there must be exceptions.

Cheng Xiao's nerve reaction speed has been improved to the extreme. In his eyes, the time around him has slowed down. Although the flying tentacles are still extremely fast, they can be traced.

Kan Palace!
Cheng Xiao took a quick step forward.

Center position!
With a spin, Cheng Xiao stepped into the next direction.

The tentacles brushed past, and a piece of skin disappeared from Cheng Xiao's shoulder.

Li Palace!
Cheng Xiao remained calm and walked towards the next direction.

The tentacles chased after him and pierced Cheng Xiao's abdomen.

Xun Palace!
Cheng Xiao's body and tentacles fell out, and fragments of his internal organs flowed out from the bloody hole in his abdomen.

Gen Palace!
Cheng Xiao's calf was broken in half.

Dui Palace!
"Oh!"

The two tentacles suddenly collided with each other, and the tentacle that was about to cut Cheng Xiao was also affected. It passed by Cheng Xiao's right side one meter away and bounced off the other tentacle.

A single move can affect the entire body. In that instant, more than a dozen tentacles were affected. Although the time was extremely short, the road leading to Dracula was opened up in front of Cheng Xiao.

Less than half a meter wide, with a complicated route and the sweeping tentacles, with a physique seven times that of an ordinary person, without using internal force to strengthen the body, and missing an injured leg, no one else in the Zhongzhou team could pass this road that was not really a road - except Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao curled up his body, pressed the ground with his hands instead of his legs, and suddenly jumped out.

He used his hands instead of feet and danced out the steps of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams in that narrow space. In the eyes of Dracula, who was not familiar with the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, Cheng Xiao's way of moving could only be described as weird. He released tentacles to attack Cheng Xiao, but they always interfered with each other and missed Cheng Xiao.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Xiao rushed to Dracula.

"How are you going to deal with this?"

Looking at Cheng Xiao in front of him, Dracula's mouth curled up into an appreciative smile.

On his chest, two rows of sharp fangs opened, thick darkness bulged, and the head of a ferocious beast pounced out.

The beast shaking its head was Dracula's familiar, the Hound of the Baskervilles. The pitch-black evil dog opened its bloody mouth and bit Cheng Xiao who was close at hand.

The distance was too close. Cheng Xiao had already taken out the second wooden stake. He only needed to push it forward to pierce Dracula's heart.

So is Dracula, and so is Cheng Xiao.

At such a close distance, the pitch-black vicious dog only needed to close its bloody mouth to bite off half of Cheng Xiao's body.

The sharp fangs grew bigger and bigger in Cheng Xiao's eyes. Cheng Xiao could already smell the smell of death, which was the smell of blood spurting out of the mouth of the Hound of the Baskervilles.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

The side effects of the natal Gu and the golden needle acupuncture also hit at this time. The severe pain exceeding level 12 made every nerve of Cheng Xiao tremble.

Trapped under the fangs of the Hound of the Baskervilles, Cheng Xiao had no chance of survival. Unless a miracle happened, death in the dog's belly was a foregone conclusion.

"what--!"

Cheng Xiao growled in pain, his entire body trembling violently as his only remaining leg swelled up. His left leg instantly grew twice as thick and large, its bulging muscles like a mutated monster.

A miracle happened.

In mortal danger, enduring unbearable pain, the brain retains its emotions and qualifications.

When these conditions are met, the greatest miracle in the multiverse appears on Cheng Xiao—the second-level gene lock is activated!
"Oh!"

The ground exploded, and cracks spread in all directions. As a shock wave spread, Cheng Xiao's body disappeared from the mouth of the Hound of the Baskervilles. In that hundredth of a second, he actually burst out with terrifying brute force from his legs, moving his body more than ten meters to the right.

The Hound of the Baskervilles took a bite and swallowed a large amount of dirt and holy water. Suddenly, its body began to twitch as if it had eaten rat poison.

Cheng Xiao had no intention of fighting with the Hound of the Baskervilles. Even if the Hound of the Baskervilles was in poor condition, how could he be in good condition after being seriously injured?
The power of his left leg burst out again, and Cheng Xiao shot out behind Dracula like a kangaroo. The wooden stake in his hand penetrated his latissimus dorsi and pierced into his heart.

Dracula's body stiffened. Even if this stab did not kill him, it suppressed his blood energy and his life gradually fell into silence.

"Although it's late, I won the bet..."

Cheng Xiao's face turned pale, and he showed a happy smile.

However, the next moment, the smile disappeared from Cheng Xiao's face.

"No...no?"

Dracula, whose heart he had pierced with a stake, was becoming another stranger.

Dracula's voice sounded from behind.

"Yes, you lose. It's a shame. Sometimes a dog's poorly digested bait can be lethal."

"It seems fate hasn't been kind to me. That's normal. I've never been a very lucky person," Cheng Xiao said with a wry smile, shaking his head. He relaxed and said with a calm smile, "I'm sorry, Colonel Chu Xuan, for disappointing you. However, I'm going to die soon, so please don't blame me."

In the distance, Chu Xuan listened to Cheng Xiao's voice through the communicator. He smiled faintly: "No, Cheng Xiao, you have completed your mission."

Cheng Xiao's face showed a look of surprise.

Have you completed the task? When?
Chu Xuan is not the kind of person who would comfort others. If he said that he had completed the task, then he must have completed the task.

However, Chu Xuan never told anyone about the task he had completed.

Cheng Xiao couldn't help but complain in his heart: "I always feel like I'm being plotted against."

Because it was a mental communication, Dracula did not hear the conversation between Chu Xuan and Cheng Xiao. His palm was on Cheng Xiao's shoulder.

"Then goodbye forever, human... Although you will live on in my body, you will no longer be yourself at that time."

Lines of blood emerged from Cheng Xiao's skin, and as the blood gushed out, Cheng Xiao's body fell down, revealing Dracula behind him.

Dracula silently glanced at Cheng Xiao's body, as if bidding farewell to the human who almost killed him. He raised his head and rose his body upwards, breaking away from the holy water which was only a few dozen centimeters deep.

On the ground, the Dead River was surging. The nuclear bombs and light beams falling from the sky caused large explosions in the Dead River. The werewolves fled into the distance with their tails between their legs. The werewolf who had gained freedom when Cheng Xiao attacked Dracula was frightened by Dracula's power of control.

Dracula looked around, a cold smile on his face.

"Hunters, it's my turn to counterattack."
