Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

```

Just as the seven Phoenix Blade Qis were about to slash at the Bizarre Creature from different directions, the creature suddenly raised its hands, wielding something akin to wolf teeth, and rapidly swung them.

The seven Phoenix Blade Qis were abruptly torn apart in midair, as if they were not the domineering and unmatched Purple Qi Phoenixes, but mere paper drawings of phoenixes.

Lin Shen watched in shock. The dominance of the Purple Profound Qi combined with the Phoenix Sword Skill had already been witnessed by him, yet to see it effortlessly torn apart by the Bizarre Creature was nothing short of astonishing.

"Let's go," Wei Wufu said, heading towards a mountain.

Lin Shen followed closely behind, bolting up the mountain with Wei Wufu.

From time to time, flashes of purple light could be seen in the sky, as Phoenix Sword Skill attacks sliced towards the Bizarre Creature from all directions, filling the sky with dancing Phoenix Blade Qi.

Yet, as soon as the Blade Qis neared the Bizarre Creature, they were shredded to pieces by the strange fangs in its hands, dissipating like dust.

Such powerful Blade Qis were torn apart without stirring the slightest ripple.

The more Lin Shen watched, the more alarmed he became. The Bizarre Creature, hanging upside down beneath the log, swung the strange fangs in its hands back and forth, leaving behind trails of afterimages, almost like a thousand-armed Guanyin. It managed to tear apart all the Blade Qis relentlessly unleashed by Wei Changqing and the others, leaving not a single one to touch the creature's body.

Lin Shen knew that watching was futile and charged towards the peak with all his might.

The two reached a spot near the mountain's summit and carefully inspected the intersection of the cylinder and the mountain.

The giant cylinder, over three meters in diameter, was embedded into the rock, from where numerous roots thicker than a thigh emerged and buried deep into the stone.

With hundreds of roots glowing from within, it seemed as though something inside was using them to channel energy into the large cylinder.

Seeing this, Lin Shen understood why the Wei Family believed that the cylinder was drawing energy from inside the mountain to transmit to the Bizarre Creature.

Wei Wufu grasped the Evil Ghost Blade with both hands, fully activating its strength, and fiercely slashed at one of the roots.

Clang!

A crisp sound of metal striking jade rang out, and the Evil Ghost Blade was repelled, causing Wei Wufu to lose his balance and stagger back several steps before dissipating the force of the full-powered strike.

"These roots are too hard, let's try digging into the rock," Lin Shen suggested, and transformed his Inheritance Fan into a Light Sword, stabbing it towards the rock next to a root.

His thrust carried the strength surpassing that of an ordinary Tenth Turn Ascender, but as the Light Sword touched the rock, the concentrated light from the feathery blade shattered, leaving only the hilt formed from the Inheritance Fan.

"How can this rock be so hard?" Lin Shen immediately realized why the Wei Family did not simply send a Nirvana Being to split the mountain and dislodge the cylinder.

It was probable that even those Nirvana Beings would find it difficult to break through the mountain's toughness.

"There's something wrong with this mountain," Lin Shen remarked, frowning.

"Together... resolve... problem..." Wei Wufu said, as he began to activate the abilities of his white robe, trying to weaken the toughness and resilience of the cylinder's roots.

Seeing this, Lin Shen also opened his Folding Fan, and mysterious light patterns flew from the fan's surface, landing on the roots.

While the sixth move of his fan dance "Spin" normally worked on living beings, Lin Shen wasn't sure if it would have any effect on something like this cylinder, or if it could even work on inanimate objects or plants, as he had never tried it before.

Fortunately, the mysterious light patterns did not disappoint, branding themselves upon the roots.

Wei Wufu gripped the Evil Ghost Blade with both hands and struck the same root again, with even greater force.

Only a muffled 'clang' sounded as the Evil Ghost Blade left a shallow mark on the tree root.

"This might work!" Lin Shen exclaimed, overjoyed at the sight, and once again transformed the Inheritance Fan into its Light Sword form, slashing at another tree root.

Indeed, the tree root branded with the Mysterious Light Pattern was marked by a shallow cut from the Light Sword.

Both men hacked fiercely at a tree root each, deepening the cuts gradually, but considering the thickness of these roots, it would probably take about ten minutes to sever one completely.

It's such an effort just to cut one root, and there are at least hundreds of them on the log. This could take forever.

Lin Shen had an idea and took out the Mutated Jade Exquisite, commanding it to use the Suppressing Mountains and Rivers Skill.

The Mutated Jade Seal appeared before Lin Shen, emitting a strange fluctuation. As the ripple undulated, it touched the tree root, and soon a suppressive mountain and river seal appeared on the root.

When Wei Wufu slashed down again, the wound on the tree root clearly widened a lot.

"It's really effective," Lin Shen was beyond thrilled. Just as he was about to use the Light Sword on his own root, an idea struck him. He returned the Inheritance Fan to its normal state, clipped it to his waist, and then drew the Scrap Sword. Placing it against the previously made cuts on the root, he began to saw back and forth.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Having only wanted to give it a try, Lin Shen was surprised to find that this method was genuinely effective; he sawed with the Scrap Sword, actually faster than Wei Wufu's chopping.

In just two or three minutes, Lin Shen had sawed through a root, while Wei Wufu was still working on cutting through his.

Although glowing fluorescence could be seen within the root, once it was sawed open, there was nothing inside—no liquid came out, and no light overflowed. The whole root was solid.

As if sensing the damage to its root on this side, the Bizarre Creature suddenly let out a strange screech, like the wail of a malicious spirit.

As the Bizarre Creature went into a rage, it reached out with its strange fang in the air, viciously clawing toward Lin Shen and Wei Wufu.

The invisible force of strength, with a piercing sonic boom, hurtled towards Lin Shen and Wei Wufu.

In Wei Changqing's hands appeared a purple short knife of the same style as the Phoenix Plume Knife, but much smaller—barely the size of a dagger.

Wei Changqing held the short knife in one hand and the long knife in the other. The two blades rubbed against each other, igniting the Purple Profound Qi like lightning, transforming it into a purple thunderous bolt that forcefully blocked the tearing force of the Bizarre Creature's claw from reaching Lin Shen and the others.

Boom!

The thunder exploded, and the claw force shattered. In this head-on collision, neither side gained the upper hand.

"Sir Qing has used Double Life Base from the Primeval Eggs for Ascension," Lin Shen exclaimed in astonishment.

"Keep working," Wei Wufu simply kept chopping determinedly, never even lifting his head.

Lin Shen quickly resumed sawing at the tree root, with the sounds of thunder and the continuous flashing of purple light at the edge of his hearing.

With the power of his dual blades, Wei Changqing thwarted the Bizarre Creature's attacks on Lin Shen and his comrades.

Wei Shoucheng and the others slashed out Blade Qi even more frenziedly, hoping to inflict wounds on the Bizarre Creature while it was distracted.

The Bizarre Creature, having spent most of its strength battling Wei Changqing, was slowed in its reactions and failed to completely block the Blade Qi from Wei Shoucheng and his group.

A Phoenix Blade Qi struck directly at the neck of the Bizarre Creature.
