He had already activated his super-speed thinking. In this state, no matter how angry or sad his emotions were, they couldn't affect his judgment. The madness that had surged from the intense pain and anger also dissipated, leaving only the incredibly rational Lin Li.
Barry needed treatment now, he needed Caitlin. He rationally concluded that no matter the circumstances, preserving Barry's life was the most important thing.
Barry was his hope; nothing could happen to him.
In a brief instant, Cisco had walked back and forth from the brink of death.
Hearing Lin Li's voice, he, who had been stunned, finally jolted awake, his face and back completely drenched in sweat. His stopped heartbeat began to pound wildly.
He wiped the cold sweat from his face, his heart trembling with fear. He tried to open the car door several times but failed. Once he finally opened it and tried to step out, he immediately fell to the ground, his legs too weak to stand.
He looked up, watching Lin Li's back, a sense of emotion that made him want to cry.
This resolute figure standing before him and Barry would be etched in his memory for a lifetime.
Lin Li's back seemed as solid as Mount Tai, giving Cisco an immense sense of security. He took a deep breath, suppressing his inner unease, pulled out his phone, and called Caitlin.
"Hello... Caitlin, bring emergency medical supplies to Ye Demai Street. Barry is seriously injured."
Clyde Mardon heard Cisco making the call.
"Do you think you can escape God's control?"
Clyde Mardon laughed maniacally. With the immense power to control the weather, in this area already covered in pressure clouds and mist, he was a god, and a god was undefeated. Thus, he laughed wildly.
But he was uneducated and didn't understand that his nemesis was precisely Lin Li.
Lin Li's eyes fiercely sparked with electric arcs. In his super-speed thinking, his face was expressionless, only the silver veins on his face twisted menacingly, and his silver pupils reflected an ultimate, cold ruthlessness.
He released his magnetic field induction.
He immediately sensed that Clyde Mardon was surrounded by a dense magnetic field, with countless magnetic lines tightly enveloping him.
The air around him felt viscous.
He was using air pressure to protect himself.
Lin Li was in a state of super-speed thinking; every moment, the environment, himself, the timing, the location, the people, everything was calculated.
He chose the most stable and safest method.
He stood still, unwavering, in front of Barry and Cisco. The blood flowing from his chest was suppressed by his powerful control. The X-shaped wound, the silver veins wildly surging with light, and the intense electric arcs in his eyes gave him an appearance of unyielding determination, coldness, and iciness, like a steel city wall.
Lin Li extended his left hand, and with a flick of his index finger, silver electric arcs condensed, the current at his fingertip growing brighter and brighter.
He released the 'zzzz' sound of the current.
As soon as it touched the dense air pressure, the current, like a hungry beast encountering delicious food, rapidly spread throughout the entire pressure zone, forming a high-pressure cloud layer in the entire area.
Electrons were transmitting, flowing, and electric arcs violently surged and churned within the misty air pressure.
Initially, Clyde Mardon felt that the surrounding air pressure was a bit abnormal; it was already densely controlled by him, but a part of it began to lose control.
He didn't know what was happening.
By the time he reacted, his body started to feel numb. He became alert, realizing that the person outside, the one using lightning, must have done something.
When he felt a stinging sensation, he was terrified, his expression shocked. Half of the white mist in front of him, the air pressure he controlled, was now churning with flashing electric arcs, subtly indicating that something very ominous was happening.
He didn't understand.
He quickly retreated, dispelling all the white mist and air pressure around him.
If he had been more educated and understood his abilities, he would have known that he had inadvertently created a vacuum layer, or something close to it.
It was this subconscious reaction that saved his life.
In just one or two seconds, Lin Li released one-third of the electrical energy within his body, rapidly infecting and controlling half of the pressure clouds in front of Clyde Mardon.
Now, this half of the pressure clouds shimmered with electric light and arcs, infected and controlled by Lin Li.
He noticed Clyde Mardon retreating, not expecting Clyde Mardon to be so alert.
If Lin Li had managed to completely infect all the pressure clouds surrounding Clyde Mardon, then he would have undoubtedly been electrocuted into charcoal by the violent lightning.
Discharge.
Suddenly, the electric clouds infected by Lin Li surged, and electric arcs violently erupted, silver arcs wildly dancing and flying, clearly visible.
The thunderclouds churned, and electric arcs bared their fangs and claws.
Seeing this, Clyde Mardon's scalp tingled. He no longer had that 'I am a god, I am supreme' mentality. Now, he only felt that the greater the air pressure and the more clouds around him, the more these lightning bolts could wildly spread and cause the air pressure he controlled to go out of control.
He frantically controlled all the gases he knew and didn't know, moving them away from him.
Everything around him became clear; there was no longer any cloud cover.
A vacuum layer!
A vacuum layer doesn't conduct electricity, but that doesn't mean current can't pass through it. When the voltage is high enough, it can be pierced by current. This depends on whether the electricity Lin Li generated was sufficient.
Lin Li didn't know if the current here was enough to pierce the vacuum layer. If he were allowed to continue infecting with electricity, all the clouds would be contaminated by him, becoming electric clouds, and at that point, Clyde Mardon would be absolutely dead.
However, Clyde Mardon was clearly scared now, so he created a vacuum layer and retreated, fleeing. Once he escaped Lin Li's controlled lightning range, then no matter how many electric clouds there were, they would be useless against him.
Now was the best time to attack.
Electric arcs crackled and sizzled. Countless electric arcs from the clouds above, below, left, and right converged in front of Clyde Mardon, striking directly at his chest.
"Boom."
Clyde Mardon watched in terror as the electric arcs gathered and then struck his chest. He didn't react, not because he was electrocuted into non-reaction, but because it was too fast. He couldn't make any reaction; the electric arcs gathered and struck his chest in an instant. He could only show a terrified expression before being hit.
The vacuum layer in front of Clyde Mardon's chest was compressed and exploded directly, sending him flying a great distance.
A ripple of shockwaves spread out, dispersing the surrounding clouds. Lin Li's thunderclouds were also scattered by the shock, and the area within thirty to forty meters became clearly visible, no longer obscured by clouds.
The street windows and glass shattered with loud cracks, and swirling leaves and dust flew, scaring Cisco, who covered his ears and stared around fearfully. Fortunately, the impact was not too strong; only a few windows shattered and fell, causing no significant damage.
