As Jiang Xiao's words fell, the lights in the entire laboratory suddenly went out.

At that moment, an indescribable sense of oppression enveloped every corner, as if the entire space was trembling in the face of some powerful force.

In the darkness, Jiang Xiao's figure became blurred and distorted, seemingly surrounded by an invisible energy.

The whole person was lifted by the power of electromagnetism, with hair dancing in the wind.

The energy, centered on him, spread rapidly at an astonishing speed, covering the entire base.

This power, like the descent of a deity, involuntarily inspired a sense of awe in people.

Everyone was stunned, their hearts filled with confusion and fear.

Is this really a power a human can possess?

Or has it already surpassed human limits, approaching a divine realm?

The old men who had high hopes for the "devil child" widened their eyes in disbelief.

Now that's more like it!

How could the devil child be an ordinary person?

Such a miraculous display was enough to win their submission!

The soldiers before them felt the impact first and foremost.

They had just been mercilessly firing at Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi, but now they seemed as fragile as leaves in the wind.

Under the influence of the powerful electromagnetic field, their bodies felt weightless, as if they were floating in space.

One after another, they were hit by powerful electromagnetic blasts, slamming hard into the walls with dull thuds.

Their weapons, affected by the electromagnetic field, became useless, with some even disassembling mid-air into a heap of scrap metal.

Jiang Xiao stood his ground, watching it all with an expressionless face.

There was no emotional fluctuation in his eyes, as if the earth-shattering power did not come from his own hands.

In the darkness, cries of pain gradually rose as those soldiers hit by the electromagnetic field lay helpless, struggling against it.

Is that it?

Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow, feeling he might have been overly worried.

As Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi prepared to exit this chaotic battlefield, a cold voice emerged from the darkness, like a chill wind from the abyss, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Electromagnetic power? Haha, interesting, a supernatural being... everyone, activate anti-magnetic storm mode."

As the voice faded, a faint red light suddenly illuminated the previously chaotic laboratory, emanating from the emergency indicator lights on the soldiers' helmets.

With the command issued, their equipment began to change, with subtle currents flowing across the surfaces of their protective suits, forming complex electromagnetic shields.

Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi exchanged glances, a hint of seriousness flashing in both their eyes.

What the hell?

Not only are their physical defenses strong, but they've maxed out their magic resistance too?

However, just as the soldiers were adjusting their equipment, Jiang Xiao was already on the move. His actions were swift and sharp, passing like a shadow in the night.

Shi Shi followed right behind, her figure even more ghost-like, leaving behind fleeting afterimages that made it hard for anyone to track her true position.

Although the soldiers had activated anti-magnetic storm mode, their attacks appeared inadequate against Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi's speed, with bullets and energy beams frequently missing their targets.

Especially after Jiang Xiao unleashed a widespread AoE attack, their courage had fled, leaving them with little will to fight, each thinking only of escape.

"Don't just defend, counterattack!"

The cold voice rang out again, clearly dissatisfied with the performance of his subordinates.

The soldiers obeyed, organizing a structured counterattack, while some special weapons were also brought out.

These were designed specifically to target supernaturals, capable of unleashing powerful electromagnetic pulses and laser beams.

As expected...

Their means of attack had expanded beyond just "conventional weapons."

Jiang Xiao sensed the intense energy fluctuations in the air, realizing that the enemy's attacks were not to be underestimated.

Since you're not holding back, neither will I...

A fleeting resolve flashed within Jiang Xiao's eyes, and then with a wave of his hands, the surrounding metal fragments shot towards the soldiers like bullets under his control.

"Watch out!"

A soldier shouted, but it was too late. The metal shards, loaded with immense kinetic energy, pierced through their defenses, and blood splattered instantly.

Shi Shi wasn't idle either. Although there was protective equipment shielding the soldiers, the eerie force caused them immense pain and made it hard for them to concentrate.

"Something's wrong!"

One soldier noticed.

"Not just a supernatural being, there's also something eerie. That little girl is the eerie entity!"

The battle intensified.

Yet Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi maintained their advantageous position, their formidable individual combat ability proving significant in this close-quarters battle.

In less than five minutes, the laboratory which was once tense and heated had devolved into a deadly silence.

Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi coordinated seamlessly, their moves targeting soldiers' critical points with lethal force behind every strike.

The soldiers, including what seemed to be the leading officer, lay cold in death, scattered across the floor marked with electrical scars and bloodstains.

At the center stood Jiang Xiao, his gaze cold, as if the prior slaughter was just another mundane event for him.

With a slight motion of his hand, the surrounding metal fragments, as if heeded his call, gently descended to the ground with a soft clatter.

Exactly.

This was an ability he had mastered not long ago.

While electromagnetic power was a magical attack, it could also manipulate nearby metal for physical assaults.

Looking at the bloodless Jiang Xiao.

The old men hiding in the corners all felt compelled to kneel in worship.

This was the "devil child" they envisioned!

Shi Shi's figure gradually emerged after the last soldier fell.

At the laboratory entrance, the officer with the icy voice had become a lifeless body.

His eyes wide open, seemingly unable to believe his demise at the hands of these two young individuals.

In his grasp was a special weapon, but before Jiang Xiao's power, it hadn't even had the chance to fire.

Jiang Xiao took a closer look; the weapon appeared to be a simple revolver on the outside.

But the bullet heads were custom-made, so hot to the touch that even holding them was uncomfortable.

"Shi Shi, take this to use. It looks pretty powerful."

Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi were the first to leave the laboratory, leaving behind that scene of deathly silence.

Their silhouettes faded into the distance down the long corridor, with only the flashing red emergency lights in the laboratory illuminating the abrupt tragedy.

The air within the laboratory was filled with the mixed smell of burning metal and blood, while the corpses lay silently as witnesses to the failed experiment.

"There's still one crucial thing we haven't found."

Jiang Xiao wasn't in a hurry to leave.

"Didn't the rescue team captain say, there is a living oceanic alien creature; it's most likely still here."
