Chapter 423 Shocking the entire city's leadership
"What's going on?!"
"What the hell happened over at the woods?!"
"Divine Plant Cult attack?!"
Inside the city, many people had noticed the huge tree cage that Lin Zichen had created in the blink of an eye.
Faced with this scene, everyone's expressions were filled with amazement, and for a moment, they felt disbelief and a trace of fear of death.
The defenses of City No. 1 were so strict that not even a fly could enter.
Yet the Divine Plant Cult was able to launch such a large-scale assault within the city, which meant that there must be high-ranking officials collaborating with them from the inside; the situation was very serious.
Today, a great battle was destined to break out.
A battle with countless casualties.
"Quick, emergency sector leaders, organize your men to check the situation!"
As this command was given, a large number of powerful figures in the city soared into the sky, rushing towards the tree cage with the ability to fly.
All of them had stern expressions, ready for a desperate fight.
...
Elsewhere.
Qin Chuan and other city leaders had already arrived above the tree cage, each with an incredulous expression, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Before the tree cage had taken shape, they had already reached the air above Lin Zichen and the others, watching with their own eyes as Lin Zichen utilized his spiritual power to control sky-scraping giant trees and summon thick, crimson vines.
This sight completely bewildered them.
"What's happening, why can this newcomer control plants and summon vines?"
"Is he a heretic from the Divine Plant Cult?"
"No, it's not about whether he's a heretic now, but he is a pureblood human, there's no Exotic Beast Gene in his body. How can he manipulate plants and vines?"
"Could it be that his spiritual power is so strong that he's controlling the plants through telekinesis?"
"Impossible, even if his spiritual power is strong, can it be stronger than ours? Even we can't do that, so why can he?"
"So what the hell is going on?"
The leaders were all talking over each other, with almost none of them clear about the current situation.
Only Qin Chuan, the City Lord, fell into deep thought.
Lin Zichen was not a Genetic Integrator, yet he could control plants and summon vines like a Divine Plant Cult heretic.
There were two possibilities to explain this situation.
The first possibility was that Lin Zichen was an Immortal Master from the Era of the Gods who had survived to this day or was a descendant of one.
The second possibility was that Lin Zichen was not from Earth.
Either possibility was shocking and unbelievable.
...
Inside the tree cage.
Under the leadership of Lan Tianbai, the team of Alien Human Level geniuses quickly took up well-trained positions, ready for a desperate fight.
Shen Qinghan, seeing this, wanted to speak up and remind everyone that this wasn't an attack by the Divine Plant Cult, but Lin Zichen's doing.
But before she could say anything, she saw Lin Zichen shake his head, indicating not to reveal it.
Lin Zichen wanted to try if he alone could annihilate the entire team of Alien Human Level geniuses.
It was somewhat crazy.
But he really wanted to try.
He wanted to see just how powerful he could be when he exerted his full strength.
"Hum!"
"Hum!"
"Hum!"
There was a shrill sound of tearing through the air.
Numerous crimson vines fell from the vine net at the top of the tree cage, shooting explosively towards Lan Tianbai and the others below like venomous snakes.
Facing these ferocious vines, Lan Tianbai's Qi-Blood erupted instantly, wielding the long sword in his hands with all his might and releasing a sword qi that carried the momentum of a thousand troops.
As soon as the sword qi was unleashed, the air around it surged like the waves of the ocean, creating a terrifying shockwave.
Soon, the sound of tough materials breaking was heard.
The overwhelming crimson vines were sliced into large amounts of sawdust by the sword qi, which then floated down gently like snowflakes in winter.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A series of dull sounds followed.
Right beneath Lan Tianbai's feet, suddenly, a plethora of crimson vines burst from the ground.
The moment these vines appeared, they swiftly coiled around Lan Tianbai's body, wrapping him into an air-tight chrysalis and pulling him into midair, leaving him dangling and teetering.
At the same time,
All the other Alien Human Level geniuses in the team, except for Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, were wrapped into chrysalises by the crimson vines and hung in midair alongside Lan Tianbai, swaying precariously.
At a glance, it looked like countless corpses hanging in suicide, chilling to the core and sending shivers down the spine.
"All of them beaten without the power to fight back..."
Shen Qinghan stared blankly at the macabre scene above her, a sense of helplessness surging up in her heart.
She had always thought she was keeping pace with Lin Zichen, but the current gap seemed insurmountably despairing.
Lin Zichen was now just a High Level Seventh Order, yet in just a few seconds, he had wiped out an entire team of Alien Human Level geniuses.
This display of strength was so formidable that it left no desire to chase after him.
I don't want to be the peerless duo anymore, being the little woman by Lin Zi's side is pretty good... Shen Qinghan thought somewhat disheartenedly, giving up on catching up with Lin Zichen.
"Ssslah—!"
A crisp ripping sound was heard.
