Chapter 1286 - 624:
Gravity is like an invisible giant hand, pulling him back to the ground.
"A spent force! Let’s see if you can still..."
The masked man sighed in relief at the sight and was about to sneer, but the sound got stuck in his throat.
He witnessed the most physics-defying scene of his life.
Even as the man’s potential energy sharply diminished, he did not fall; he levitated as if suspended in the air.
"Whoosh—"
Fang Cheng exhaled lightly, raising his chin slightly against the fierce wind, his arms outstretched.
His mind was inexplicably at peace, with even the surging desire to kill briefly contained.
In the early hours by Yulong Lake, the scene of dashing across the water and walking on it flashed quickly in his mind.
Since the tension on the water’s surface can support the body, air compressed to a near-solid can also serve as a point of leverage.
From water to mid-air, the medium changed, but the underlying logic of mechanics did not.
After countless iterations of extreme challenges, the theory of "run-up takeoff + air stomping + wind gliding" finally reached the moment of being tested in combat.
With the support of a prolonged 9-second hang time, Fang Cheng accurately captured the airflow nodes surging below.
Then his thigh muscles twisted like steel cables, foot arched, and he fiercely stomped the invisible air below.
"Boom!"
The high initial speed, coupled with the explosive power of his strong legs.
Forcibly compressed the air beneath into a highly resilient pressure cushion.
The sensation was like shattering the barrier of shock waves when breaking the sound barrier while running on flat ground.
A ring of white sonic boom clouds exploded in mid-air.
Fang Cheng did not fall.
He astonishingly stepped on an invisible air pedal, using the potent counterforce to soar upwards again.
Arms outstretched, body leaning forward.
Like a golden giant falcon gliding in the wind, he completed an incredible second acceleration in mid-air, closing in on the masked man.
"Flying upwards stepping on air?! Is that even possible?!"
The masked man’s mouth twitched violently under the mask,
This is simply not something normal humans can do.
You know I can fly solely because of the magical effect of the reproductive armor I wear, transforming into an insect-like form.
As for those mutants with flying abilities, which one hasn’t awakened the special talent of wind control or telekinesis?
Yet the humanoid T-Rex like a wild beast before him actually relied solely on the absolute strength of his body to make the air act like solid ground!
In the face of such unreasonable pure brute force, all fancy superpowers seem like ridiculous tricks.
Seeing the distance close once more, the masked man completely panicked and desperately exhausted the remaining energy in his armor, flapping the wings on his back, trying to shake off this Killing God.
Fang Cheng soared in the sky, relentlessly pursuing.
However, air is undeniably much thinner than water.
This seemingly miraculous mid-air flight needs to simultaneously overcome gravity and air assistance, causing kinetic energy depletion to plunge.
After leaping dozens of meters forward, Fang Cheng immediately felt the uplifting pressure beneath his feet rapidly diminish, his body sinking once more.
He remained utterly calm, his gaze sharp as a torch, and the True Qi within his Dantian boiled like a furnace.
Then his heart muscle suddenly contracted and expanded, like an overclocked engine, pumping blood to every part of his body at maximum speed.
In an instant, blood and energy surged and roiled, as if fuel injected into machinery, providing a burst of additional power sufficient to reverse the situation for the body urgently needing energy replenishment.
Rumble—
Accompanied by a roar like a jet engine starting, Fang Cheng unexpectedly accelerated once more in mid-air.
Thick True Qi surged wildly through the meridians of his legs, and explosively burst outward from his soles.
The stream thrust broke through the incoming wind resistance, forcibly lifting Fang Cheng’s body, maintaining an aerial pursuit stance.
The masked man was completely intimidated by Fang Cheng’s fierce pose.
He scrambled clumsily in the air, altering direction in a flustered escape.
Turning his head, watching the persistent figure chasing from behind.
The masked man’s scalp tingled, couldn’t help but shout out, attempting to ease the situation:
"Hey, Brother Fang, stop chasing!"
"There’s no deep-seated hatred between us, it was merely a misunderstanding earlier, there’s no need for us to fight to the end!"
Fang Cheng said nothing.
The only reply to the masked man was those eyes burning like flames and the increasingly exuberant aura erupting around him.
If the snake is not killed, danger results.
Since a move was made today, this hidden threat must be thoroughly crushed into pieces!
"Damn it, just how deep is this grudge? Did I kill your childhood sweetheart lover, or your father?"
The masked man cursed, negotiations having failed, had no option but to turn and continue fleeing.
"Beep, beep, beep—"
Yet trouble never comes alone; the rhomboid crystal on his chest began flashing an intense red light at a high frequency.
The energy that was once abundant had already depleted, the flapping frequency of the exoskeletal wings visibly slowing down.
His eyes were filled with urgency.
At this rate of depletion, it won’t be long before the reproductive armor is forcefully retracted due to energy exhaustion.
By then, falling from dozens of meters above ground and being followed by that Killing God, death is certain.
He found himself at a dead end, nearly in despair.
"Whew—"
A sharp whistling sound suddenly pierced the night sky.
Followed by a muffled "boom."
A dazzling red flare exploded in the sky several kilometers away.
The scarlet glow immediately dispelled the fog, illuminating the dark forest as if it were daylight.
