Light Fortress-Chapter 1408 - 179: Gluttonous Transformation (Part 2)
A breach was opened in the Beast Tide!
The "Iron Eater," which was originally just short of perfection, unknowingly achieved its final form in this moment of "loss of control."
Advanced to the fourth tier!
The shadow of the "Iron Eater" completely dispersed, scattering in all directions. With every strike Shen Li made, a large area of beast spirits’ bodies shattered, blood splattered everywhere. This scene was extremely gruesome, and not far away, Mr. Zhuang, who was barely protecting himself amidst the Beast Tide, watched in shock.
Zhuang Su hurriedly voiced his warning: "Xiao Shen, quickly withdraw your ’Spirit’!"
This reminder was meaningless.
The gluttonous version of the "Iron Eater" simply ignored others’ voices.
Shen Li began a murderous rampage!
He had lost all reason at this point, leaving only the battle instincts guiding him... He first swept away and scattered the attacking beast spirits, then raised his head with bloodshot eyes.
The Great Winged Sparrow King was still maneuvering in the air and hadn’t left!
Seeing that Shen Li hadn’t been trampled to death by the giant elephant and had even made a breakthrough during the battle, a trace of panic flashed across the sharp eyes of the Great Winged Sparrow King. As a high-level Transcendent Being, it already possessed spiritual wisdom, enabling it to engage in simple consciousness-level exchanges with humans, and even understand some complex cultural operations in human society—
The immense killing intent in Shen Li’s eyes was apparent to the Great Winged Sparrow King!
However, it did not rush to leave. Instead, it cried out loudly while flapping its large wings—
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
The sky above was covered with the ash of Tanyao Mountain, and the Great Winged Sparrow King gathered the mountain ash within hundreds of meters using its wings, then scattered it below!
For a moment, sand and rocks flew everywhere, chaos ensued once more. Watching the man holding a long staff on the ground frown and close his eyes, being swallowed by the Beast Tide... a mocking look reappeared in the Great Winged Sparrow King’s eyes.
However.
Its smile faded completely within a few seconds!
A sound pierced the sky, penetrating the vast space, volcanic ash rolled on the ground, obscuring all living beings’ sight... A finely honed, sharpened, long rod suddenly shot out from the dust, piercing through the body of the Great Winged Sparrow King.
The next moment.
Shen Li, like the rod, shot swiftly out from the Beast Tide, also propelled out—
The "Iron Eater" on the ground vanished instantly after launching its master out.
"Rip!"
Shen Li turned and sat on the back of the giant bird, landing a heavy punch on the head of the Great Winged Sparrow King!
With this punch, blood spattered—
The sky fell silent!
Shen Li gripped the end of the iron staff with both hands, fiercely prying it from the body of the Great Winged Sparrow King, then stomped on the falling bird carcass like a cannonball towards another black sparrow—
With one hand he ran his fingers over the tip of the long staff, transforming the iron staff into an iron sword this time!
A flash of silver light!
Following the same pattern, Shen Li continued to strike at the next Great Winged Sparrow!
His ability was essentially a ground-based fierce assault type that could not control the sky, yet relying on exceptionally powerful explosiveness, he completed the slaughter of the entire Great Winged Sparrow flock midair!
The entire process took only one minute!
However... after all, the Great Winged Sparrows were a flying species, after Shen Li killed the Great Winged Sparrow King, several lowly creatures had already escaped far away, their whereabouts unknown.
Ultimately, Shen Li landed nearby the giant tree where Adam was.
Here, the sea of leaves had withered... nothing was left.
Adam was nowhere to be seen.
But perhaps this was a good thing, because at this moment the Little Iron Man had completely gone berserk, unable to maintain rationality in the "gluttonous" state, and completely forgotten the so-called "mission"...
After killing the mammoth elephant and then the Great Winged Sparrow, he set his sights on Zhuang Su, who was evading the Beast Tide in the distance.
"Xiao Shen?"
Zhuang Su sensed something bad coming.
Seeing Shen Li slowly stand up and casually break off a tree branch, "ironizing" it, Mr. Zhuang was filled with a strong ominous feeling.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment—
The ironized branch was thrown by Shen Li, moving at frightening speed, leaving a series of sonic booms!
This was more terrifying than bullets!
Zhuang Su moved quickly. Having preemptively sensed the danger, he managed to dodge just as Shen Li raised his hand, then retreated to the distance; yet, in terms of physical abilities such as strength or speed, the "gluttonous" state "Iron Eater" was far superior to him.
Hearing the rapid whooshing sound approaching from behind, Zhuang Su couldn’t help but feel his scalp go numb.
Usually appearing silly and foolish, the outburst of combat power by Xiao Shen in his uncontrolled state was truly terrifying!
He couldn’t escape—
Zhuang Su took a deep breath and abruptly came to a stop, then turned around.
Having escaped several dozen meters, he scattered spiritual power along the way, waiting for the moment Shen Li would finally strike to kill him—
His spirit had already set a net like the sky!
In that instant, he turned around, Zhuang Su was dumbfounded. He had anticipated Shen Li to be fast, but didn’t expect him to be this fast... the two were already forehead to forehead, Zhuang Su’s spirit invading Shen Li’s Heart Sea.
Simultaneously, Shen Li placed a hand on Zhuang Su’s chest.
"Bang!"
A dull explosive sound erupted amidst the trees—
Mr. Zhuang was sent flying nearly a hundred meters, his body like a kite with a broken string, crashing into and breaking seven or eight ancient trees along the way, finally desperately grabbing onto a frail branch, hanging in mid-air.
His face was ghastly pale like paper, lowering his head to look at his chest area, clothes torn, on his skin appeared an iron-blue handprint... placed by Shen Li, with the "Iron Eater’s" power ironizing that section of his skin, the ironization still spreading.
"Cough, cough..."
Zhuang Su coughed up two mouthfuls of fresh blood, feeling a strong smell of rust in his throat.
