With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 104 Chemical Plant Crisis

at the same time.

It is located in an old residential area, only about one kilometer away from the chemical plant.

The residents had already received evacuation notices and had moved away from this troubled area.

The entire neighborhood was deserted, eerily quiet.

The underground parking garage was dark and damp, filled with a musty smell of decay.

In this dark underground place, eerie roars could be faintly heard.

The light was so dim that the outlines of objects were barely visible.

[Venom] Liu Ru!
Meng Chuan's murderous fist was like an invisible shackle, firmly binding him and preventing him from repairing himself with his own powerful regenerative abilities.

At this moment, Liu Ru's consciousness was struggling with the venom for control of her body.

In an instant, his body felt as if it were being pulled by two completely different forces, and it began to tremble violently.

She tore at the ground with one hand, her nails digging deep into the cement, making a series of piercing sounds.

With his other hand, he desperately reached for his chest, trying to pull the demon within him out.

Her face was twisted beyond recognition, half contorted in agony and the other half cunning and wicked.

At the same time, its mouth was wide open, sometimes letting out angry roars of venom, and sometimes letting out painful groans from Liu Ru.

The two sounds intertwined, creating a chilling and eerie melody.

"This body is mine."

Liu Ru squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, her voice hoarse.

The Heavenly Demon was not to be outdone, roaring:
"Hiss hiss hiss, you're nothing but my puppet!"

In that dimly lit and cramped basement, a fierce battle of wits reached its climax.

Due to its severe injuries, Venom felt an unprecedented threat.

In order to completely suppress Liu Ru, it had to make a choice.

In the end, Venom relinquished some of its sensory abilities, gathered all its demonic energy, and made a desperate gamble.

This compressed and amplified demonic thought, like a surging black tide, instantly overwhelmed Liu Ru's consciousness.

Liu Ru's resistance grew weaker and weaker; her eyes gradually lost their luster, and her body stopped struggling.

Venom once again seized control of the body, and it slowly struggled to its feet from the ground, its movements stiff and eerie.

As the venom revived, it wriggled, spread, and grew, and the asphalt-like slime once again enveloped her entire head.

Inside the Demon's Nest.

Luo Guanyun was surrounded by lightning, as if the Thunder God had descended to earth.

His figure appeared and disappeared amidst the lightning, each bolt of lightning carrying earth-shattering power, swiftly bombarding the demon before him.

The lightning bolts, like angry thunder dragons, lunged at the Heavenly Demon with bared fangs and claws.

While battling the Heavenly Demon, Luo Guanyun gazed into the depths of the Demon's Nest in the distance.

The bright light was fiercely clashing with the surging demonic waves, two completely different forces colliding with each other.

Seeing this breathtaking scene, Luo Guanyun secretly felt fortunate.

"Damn it, I thought I was going to die here today."

Coming to his senses, Luo Guanyun stopped paying attention to the distant battlefield and focused all his attention on the terrifying monster in front of him.

The monster resembled a giant balloon suspended in the air, standing over ten meters tall.

Its dark brown skin occasionally oozed a nauseating dark green liquid, and it emitted a pungent, fishy stench.

In an instant, thunderous true energy surged wildly in Luo Guanyun's palm.

The blue-white electric light grew even brighter, crackling and popping.

The veins on his arms bulged, and the electrical charge in the air was frantically pulled and condensed into streaks of plasma.

As the plasma continued to compress and condense, the body seemed to be distorted by this powerful force, and the temperature rose sharply.

"Lei Ying!"

Luo Guanyun suddenly took a step forward, his right fist crackling with explosive plasma, and slammed straight at the monster.

In an instant, even the surrounding air was annihilated and vaporized by the high-voltage lightning.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar rang out, and the monster's head exploded instantly, splattering dark green slime and bits of flesh everywhere.

With the immense impact, most of the monster's head was blown off, and the remaining body lost its support and crashed to the ground.

Luo Guanyun strode forward and carefully searched through the wreckage.

"Heart of Corruption, five million in hand."

He groped through a pile of minced meat and pulled out a strange heart that gleamed with an inky arc of light.

"Yongzhi, the elite team is about to enter the chemical plant. Turn up the monitor."

The team leader's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Roger that!"

Meng Yongzhi responded quickly and, as a member of the backup team, was transferred to the Skynet Department to assist with remote monitoring.

Soon, the surveillance footage from Skynet successfully switched and zoomed in on the chemical plant area.

Under the cover of night, the group cautiously made their way toward the chemical plant.

Meng Yongzhi didn't blink, his eyes following their figures closely.

When he looked closely, his heart suddenly clenched!
He found Meng Chuan among the group of people.

The moment he saw it, Meng Yongzhi's brows furrowed into a deep frown, his eyes filled with worry.

His nephew, Meng Chuan, the child he had watched grow up, was currently on a dangerous mission.

Meng Yongzhi prayed silently in his heart: "Chuan'er, you must be safe and sound, please be careful..."

……

Chemical plant.

The tense atmosphere was like an invisible net, enveloping everyone.

Li Zhun and Deputy Captain Zhang broke away from the group, stealthily making their way towards the rooftop like cheetahs hidden in the darkness.

Li Zhun turned slightly to the side and lowered his voice to say to Deputy Captain Zhang:
"That high priest is quite powerful. We must proceed with caution and wait for an opportunity to strike, aiming for a fatal blow!"

Zhang Yunpu looked solemn and nodded in agreement.

At the same time, Meng Chuan and the rest of the team, positioned like sharp knives, quickly and frantically searched the chemical plant towards the control room.

Everyone remained highly vigilant. At the very front of the group, Xu Qi, with keen eyes, carefully searched every corner.

Among the group, Meng Chuan frowned slightly, silently sensing the surrounding environment.

Soon, he sensed a faint, intangible force blocking his exploration; this force was strange and chilling.

Meng Chuan felt a chill run down his spine, guessing that this might be demonic energy.

However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the resistance from this thin demonic energy was not significant.

He only needs to think about it and exert a little effort to break through.

However, he remembered Li Zhun's warning:

"The enemy in the factory is extremely cunning. We must not easily reveal our whereabouts and alert them."

With this in mind, Meng Chuan decided to proceed with caution.

The group ventured deeper into the factory, and the smoke grew thicker the further they went.

The thick smoke seemed to materialize, making it almost impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

Meng Chuan practiced the breathing technique of "Nourishing Qi and Wearing Armor," rapidly expelling the inhaled smoke from his body as he quickly opened and closed his mouth and nose.

Even if a small amount of smoke seeps into his body, it is blocked by the tough inner membrane of his lungs and cannot cause him any harm.

"Captain Xu, it's the control room!"

The group cautiously entered, only to find the place in complete disarray.

"Everyone be careful, the demonic cultivators may not have gone far. Follow them this way!"

Xu Qi's expression was solemn, and he decisively gave the order.

Everyone immediately became alert, gripped their weapons tightly, and quickly gave chase in the direction of the target.

Before long, a fork in the road appeared ahead. The two passages were dark and quiet, so quiet that it was unsettling.

At the critical moment, Xu Qi quickly took out a thermal imager from his backpack. This was an important piece of equipment for them to carry out their mission, which could detect vital signs in complex environments.

Xu Qi turned on the instrument, and a blurry image instantly appeared on the screen.

He then lowered his voice and gave the order:
"There are seven or eight people inside, preparing to go in..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Meng Chuan's voice.

He quickly pressed the earpiece and said in a calm tone:

"Wait a minute, I sensed that there shouldn't be any living creatures in the room."

This sudden information startled everyone, and the atmosphere instantly became somewhat awkward.

Xu Qi frowned subconsciously, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and asked again:
"Are you sure?"

The matter was of great importance, and he had to confirm it carefully.

Meng Chuan nodded solemnly.

"Believe me."

After a moment's thought, Xu Qi decisively gave the order:

"Let's go, let's take another route first."

In the team, some people hesitated, their faces showing a conflicted expression, as if they had something to say, but in the end they chose to follow the captain's instructions.

In this perilous environment, obeying orders is key to ensuring the team's safety.

The group continued forward, maintaining their battle formation at all times.

Meng Chuan, as the breakthrough player, stood to Xu Qi's right, two body lengths behind.

Suddenly!
The miniature demonic field detector that Xu Qi was carrying emitted a faint vibration alarm.

Xu Qi's expression immediately changed, and his tone became urgent:

"Everyone on alert! There's a demon ahead!"

This news came like a bombshell, leaving everyone on edge.

Before the steel bones were put into use, even the lowest-level Heavenly Demons were helpless against without a martial artist present.

Meng Chuan remained calm and asked:
Do you know their specific strength?

He pondered to himself.

"With Steel Bones here, if I can handle the strength of this Heavenly Demon, then I will take care of it."

Xu Qi quickly checked the field detector in his hand, explaining as he operated it:

"The field detector I have is a miniature model, which can only detect lower-level Heavenly Demons. When it's completely filled with black energy, it's level nine."
The current concentration is only half, suggesting the opponent's strength is around level five, not exceeding level six.

A sixth-level lower-ranking Heavenly Demon corresponds to a martial artist's strength at the sixth level of Qi and Blood.

Meng Chuan said that he had already made up his mind.

He said in a deep voice:

"Leave it to me, you guys wait here."
