Gao Wu: If this BOSS isn't nerfed, is it even playable?

Chapter 87 The Final Strategy
Lin Ye's muscles tensed to their limit in an instant, and the pent-up energy surged violently toward the tip of the spear.

There's no time to think!

The spear in his hand transformed into a primal, pure line of death, tearing through the air and piercing the hideous, shattered hole in the chest of the Crystal Spirit Clan larva!

This is his only chance!
"Lin Ye—?"

Almost at the same instant the spear tip pierced through, a shout filled with anxiety and worry came from the deep tunnel behind him!

It's Zhang Yuqing!

Lin Ye's movements did not stop for the slightest.

The single, tightly closed eye in the center of the ethereal face of the curled-up, sleeping Crystal Spirit infant suddenly opened!

A dark purple light, like a miniature supernova, suddenly erupted from the wreckage of the train car!
"grumble--!"

A strange, piercing scream pierced Lin Ye's eardrums!

Lin Ye's mind went blank for a moment, and the world spun around him!

Everything in sight was distorted and torn apart, turning into chaotic blocks of color.

He felt as if his consciousness was about to be completely overwhelmed by this terrifying mental torrent!

Lin Ye felt as if two red-hot steel rods were being pierced into his temples, but he gritted his teeth and, with his strong will, forcibly stabilized his collapsing body.

Fortunately, he had put all his attribute points into his spirit during this period!
The spear in his hand deviated almost imperceptibly due to the sudden impact, but it still thrust down fiercely!

Ding! ! !
A piercing impact echoed sharply through the underground space!
Lin Ye's pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints.

The instant his spear tip pierced down, a hexagonal purple crystal shield, as thin as a cicada's wing yet shimmering with a magnificent luster, materialized out of thin air!
His spear tip slammed hard into the crystal shield!
The result was not that the crystal shield shattered.

It was the tip of his gun!

The incredibly sharp spearhead, crafted from a special alloy, had a small piece chipped off from the thin crystal shield, sending out a dazzling spark!

What terrifying defense!

"run!!"

Lin Ye shouted out loud.

This sound was a reminder to Zhang Yuqing, who was in the distance!

He didn't blame her.

In such a desperate situation, under such mental pressure, the fact that she still came to me out of concern for me shows a courage that surpasses that of most people.

The only downside is that the two don't have in-team voice chat, so they can't communicate with each other.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have alerted the enemy and failed at the last minute.

boom--!
The energy indicator light on Lin Ye's T-3 exoskeleton armor instantly turned red, and the engine on his back roared loudly, lifting him into the air with powerful thrust!

however--

Swish!
A purple afterimage, so fast it exceeded the limits of vision, flashed past in the corner of his eye!

Lin Ye couldn't even see what it was.

All he heard was a sharp, teeth-grinding sound of metal being violently torn apart!
Tsk-!
The exoskeleton armor on his back, with its sturdy alloy shell, was torn open from top to bottom by an irresistible force, as if it were made of paper!

Sparks fly!

Broken parts and broken wires exposed to the air emitted a buzzing electrical sound.

A chill ran from my tailbone straight up to the top of my head!

If it weren't for his lightning-fast reaction during the escape, he would have made a twisting maneuver to evade the attack the instant he took off.

This attack didn't just tear through his armor.

It was his spine!

Using the remaining thrust of the engine, Lin Ye forcibly twisted his body in mid-air, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a terrifying scene behind him.

The Crystal Spirit Clan juvenile shone brightly!
Purple crystals shaped like spears are forming out of thin air!

They gleamed with a cold, deadly light, their spear tips aimed at him!
There was absolutely no delay!

call out!call out!call out!
A dozen or so crystal spears transformed into a barrage of death, shooting towards him at a terrifying speed far exceeding the speed of sound!

Lin Ye frantically maneuvered and evaded in the air.

But it was too fast!
puff!
A crystal spear finally caught up with him and plunged deep into his left thigh!

A sharp pain exploded!

Blood spurts out!

Lin Ye grunted, but his eyes were extremely fierce.

But he transformed into a cannonball, recklessly flying towards a gap that had been previously surveyed! Boom!!!
Just as Lin Ye's body passed through the gap and saw Zhang Yuqing's pretty face filled with shock and disbelief in the tunnel not far away, the next second...

Behind him, the subway car, which had overturned and weighed tens of tons, was completely pierced from end to end by a purple crystal spear that was larger than all the spears before it combined!
Twisted steel is as fragile as rotten wood before the giant spear!
Smoke and gravel shot into the sky!

Amidst the ruins, the juvenile Crystal Spirit, no bigger than a house cat, had a single eye on its head that gleamed with a chilling killing intent.

Its speed was in no way slower than Lin Ye's when the engine was running at full power.

With a gentle push from its hind legs on the ground, its entire body transformed into a streak of purple light, covering a distance of over ten meters and silently catching up!

"go!"

Lin Ye's roar finally brought Zhang Yuqing back to her senses from the great shock.

Without the slightest hesitation, the T-3 armor engine on her back started instantly, she rushed over, grabbed Lin Ye's severely damaged armor, and flew desperately out of the tunnel with him!
The two panicked and ran away without thinking.

"Fly upwards! To the exit of that collapsed area!"

Lin Ye endured the excruciating pain and recalled a subway exit pointing upwards that he had seen before, which guided him in the right direction.

Before long, Zhang Yuqing also saw Lin Ye's words come out.

With her assistance.

The two figures emerged one after the other from the massive subway collapse zone, like a sharp arrow shooting straight into the gray sky.

Below, the Crystal Spirit Clan larva let out a series of sharp and angry roars.

However, it stopped below the exit of the collapse area and did not continue to pursue it.

Lin Ye looked back from hundreds of meters in the air.

He saw it clearly.

The alien was not incapable of continuing the pursuit; rather, the energy core within the damaged cavity in its chest, which had once shone as brightly as a star, was now visibly dimming.

Clearly, that series of outbursts just now was also a huge drain on its already severely injured body.

Having escaped from the jaws of death, the two dared not linger for a moment. They continued flying for several more kilometers, and only after confirming that the monster was not chasing them did they find the rooftop of a tall building and land in a sorry state.

"What...what is that?!"

Zhang Yuqing's face was ashen, still shaken.

As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Lin Ye's legs.

"You, you're injured?"

Lin Ye's left leg was covered in blood, half of which had been soaked through, and a large hole had appeared in the partially covered armor.

But the flesh and skin underneath were completely intact.

"I am fine."

After disengaging from the battle, Lin Ye's injuries were healed by recovering his health.

However, Zhang Yuqing was too nervous to notice.

Lin Ye sat down against the wall, explaining everything that had just happened.

"The Celestial Abyss Alien Race?!"

When Zhang Yuqing heard this term, she gasped.

That's an enemy you only ever hear about in textbooks!

He is also the true enemy of all martial artists in the world today!

Lin Ye nodded.

"Did you see the score at the top of the leaderboard?"

"I suspect that the person named Xue Wangshu must have hunted down one, or even more, of the Tianyuan alien races to obtain such a terrifying number of points!"

His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of buildings, once again falling upon that massive underground collapse zone.

"There are less than eight hours left until the end of the match."

"No matter how many mutated beasts we kill, we can't catch up with the people ahead in terms of points."

Lin Ye treated his wounds and slowly stood up.

He looked at Zhang Yuqing, who was in shock, and spoke in a low voice, but with an undeniable determination.

"Zhang Yuqing, I need your help."

"Let's find a way to kill this alien!"
