"Red Snake is rushing back with the officer!"
"The officer's health indicators are fluctuating. Mom has already injected her with a sedative using the armor reserves!"
"The young king bug has launched a mental attack on her!"
Amid Wan Xiao Qi's shouts, Wang Ji Xuan had already dashed out of the tavern, figuring out the direction and heading straight for the armored vehicle in the distance.
"How long until Ling Tong returns?"
"About half an hour!"
"Bring her back to the supply station! I can help her. Have Zhou Zheng De arrange for a flying vehicle to wait for us up there!"
Wang Ji Xuan's voice was steady, but he spoke a bit quickly.
Zheng Shi Duo looked at the communicator in his hand and hurriedly said, "The psychics from the Psychic House are moving freely using the defense rules against the Blade Beasts! A few of them came down secretly before, and they are targeting us!"
Wang Ji Xuan asked, "Can't the Cleansing Squad fire at them?"
"Not in the current situation!"
Zheng Shi Duo quickly added, "But we can ask Dong Fang Zheng Hong to give the order to attack them directly! The value of the battle sister far exceeds the risk!"
"Then please do it!"
"Okay... uh," Zheng Shi Duo suddenly frowned, looking towards the armored vehicles ahead.
He and Wang Ji Xuan both stopped, while Wan Xiao Qi and Lin Bo Lin were still running behind them.
More than two hundred meters ahead, the Cleansing Squad soldiers were gone near those armored vehicles. On the roofs and beside the vehicles stood three men and one woman, their bodies radiating a mottled aura.
They looked like 0.6 to 0.8 of a Zheng Shi Duo.
Zheng Shi Duo muttered, "Looks like they triggered the Blade Beast alarm only after finding us."
Wang Ji Xuan raised a hand to touch the nano-mask on his face and said calmly, "They are targeting me; it has nothing to do with you."
"Abandoning your comrades before a fight is the shame of a soldier."
Zheng Shi Duo narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered, "I can hold off two. Do you have a way to escape? We definitely can’t take on four C-levels; we can only wait for Zhou Zheng De to provide support..."
"Delay for half a minute."
Wang Ji Xuan turned and ran.
Wan Xiao Qi and the others heard Wang Ji Xuan’s voice and turned back towards the tavern, where a small group of Cleansing Squad soldiers remained.
Zheng Shi Duo’s words halted, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
The four people in the distance charged forward at the same time. One had meat wings sprouting from his back, lifting two people forward, while another's lower body sprouted thick wolf fur, muscles bulging rapidly, running like a cheetah.
"Wait!"
Zheng Shi Duo shouted loudly.
The four C-level psychics were momentarily stunned by Zheng Shi Duo's shout, stopping about ten meters away.
The woman said calmly, "Captain Zheng, we don't want to clash with you, but the Black Storm must come with us today, or he will die here."
Zheng Shi Duo's eyes darted around, and he immediately said, "Why? Little Black is the only achievement of the military. If you kill him, the Devil Commander will definitely be furious, and you might all die... Everyone gets the same supplies every month; there's no need to risk your lives for this little pay, right?"
The four spoke up:
"Are you stalling for time, Captain Zheng?"
"We have a comprehensive assessment of his combat power; he is at most a D-level, and the rest are not worth mentioning."
"We don’t want to fall out with Captain Zheng; step back in three seconds, or we will take action against you."
Two of them raised their rifles.
A telekinetic psychic had dozens of ice shards floating around him.
Zheng Shi Duo calculated the time in his mind, put his hands behind his back, shrugged slightly, and shouted, "Alright, alright, I don’t need to risk my life for him, but..."
He suddenly raised both hands, and the eight miniature explosives he had slipped between his fingers flew out.
The four remained unfazed, and two of the telekinetic psychics simultaneously opened their telekinetic shields.
Boom!
Boom, boom!
Amid the violent explosions, the white wings behind Zheng Shi Duo burst through his shirt!
This guy turned and fled, heading straight for the tavern door where Wang Ji Xuan was, wanting to grab him and escape together.
Gunfire erupted behind him, and Zheng Shi Duo spun around, flying low to the ground.
The four psychics were furious, cursing loudly and continuously insulting Zheng Shi Duo's family, almost making him laugh out loud.
It felt good to be insulted!
But still, what to do next?
Wait for the mech deep-sea boss to come down for support?
Once the fortress triggered the Blade Beast level three alarm, the Psychic House would automatically gain authority just below that of the governor. There were also two B-level psychics around; they should be restraining the deep-sea boss.
Zheng Shi Duo was thinking quickly.
He had no doubt that the Black Storm could help Ling Tong;
What he was thinking about now was how to ensure the Black Storm survived to see Ling Tong. If something happened to Ling Tong, it would be a huge loss for the D5 battle zone.
If there was really no way out, then he, Old Zheng, would have to use that incredibly embarrassing move...
Uh, what is that guy doing?
Zheng Shi Duo looked down at the tavern door.
Not far away, there were still a few Cleansing Squad soldiers who hadn’t managed to run far.
Wang Zheng was biting his finger and drawing something on the ground.
No! Don’t just stand there!
His buddy had fought hard for this chance to escape!
Zheng Shi Duo shouted, "Hurry up! We need to go guerrilla!"
He dove down, reaching out to grab Wang Zheng.
Just as he extended his hand, Zheng Shi Duo felt a powerful yet gentle force, as if someone had pushed him. He couldn’t control himself in mid-air and crashed directly into the tavern's window.
Zheng Shi Duo quickly turned to look at Wang Ji Xuan.
Something was off...
Such strong telekinesis!
In Zheng Shi Duo's view, Wang Ji Xuan was still half-kneeling there, his head bowed, quietly murmuring something. Zheng Shi Duo couldn’t hear it clearly, but he could feel...
The telekinetic force around this guy was still growing!
The four psychics landed on the street, their rifles aimed at Wang Ji Xuan from a distance.
The female psychic sneered, "Are you scared? Giving up already? Kneeling on one knee is useless; both legs need to kneel, hands raised above your head. They say the Black Storm that killed a special winged dragon is no more than this."
"Something feels off, be careful."
The four looked at Zheng Shi Duo.
Zheng Shi Duo suddenly shivered, jumped up, and ran away, his eyes filled with fear, as if he had seen something terrifying!
Zheng Shi Duo, a balanced-type psychic, indeed vaguely saw it!
Shadows, very faint shadows, were floating up from the ground, like... like human souls!
These souls were heading towards Wang Ji Xuan!
It was as if a black hole had appeared behind Wang Ji Xuan, sucking in streams of souls, most of which had bloody holes in their foreheads...
Those were the people who had died below!
The psychic with the wolf transformation felt a hint of unease.
He snorted coldly and suddenly lunged forward.
Since they had received orders to capture first and kill later, this psychic didn’t shoot directly or use his most lethal wolf paw. Instead, as he fell in a parabolic arc, he reached for Wang Ji Xuan's forehead, cursing, "Get down!"
Wang Ji Xuan glanced up at him.
Puff, puff, puff!
Strange sounds suddenly erupted.
The wolf-transformed psychic fell straight down, powerless, kneeling before Wang Ji Xuan.
The other three psychics were clearly stunned, not knowing what the wolf-transformed psychic was doing.
They couldn’t see it, but Zheng Shi Duo saw it clearly.
Just now, there had been a violent wave of telekinesis.
Three outlines of fists exploded at Wang Ji Xuan's brow, hitting the wolf-transformed psychic's forehead, neck, and chest.
At this moment, the wolf-transformed psychic's forehead cracked, neck caved in, and chest sunk; his enhanced body could no longer hold up, slowly leaning back.
What... what?
The other three psychics' faces changed drastically, instinctively retreating.
Wang Ji Xuan moved!
He slowly stood up, his closed eyes gradually opening, black flames slowly igniting at the corners of his eyes, a hint of crimson appearing at his brow.
The demonic soul rises, the killing intent awakens.
All beings suffer, forging the floating tower.
Charge forward!
He flew forward, three inches off the ground, his right hand forming a palm, pushing forward!
[Great Yan Heart Sword]!
The three C-level psychics were in a panic, suddenly feeling invisible walls appearing around them; they couldn't move their legs or even shake.
Wang Ji Xuan flew low, holding his right hand out, and a massive, formless sword appeared in front of him, its blade filled with endless illusions!
It seemed like endless beasts were galloping, like immortals dancing in the clouds, like countless skeletons in tattered armor rushing towards these three!
The images the three saw were different, each reflecting their deepest fears!
And when they came back to their senses, the translucent giant sword was already before them.
The sword pierced their brows!
"Save..."
Four figures intertwined.
Wang Ji Xuan stopped, facing away from the three seemingly motionless psychics.
He slightly turned his head, snorting softly.
The three psychics' eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouths simultaneously sprayed blood arrows, their bodies slowly collapsing, the mottled aura on them rapidly scattering.
"Captain Zheng, keep it confidential and have Zhou Zheng De prepare the flying vehicle immediately."
Wang Ji Xuan's voice was like a chilling wind from the depths of the abyss.
Zheng Shi Duo quickly nodded.
Wang Ji Xuan leaped up, a translucent white crane appearing around him, disappearing swiftly from Zheng Shi Duo's sight.
"Okay, okay..."
Zheng Shi Duo's throat bobbed as he looked at the three corpses and the critically injured wolf-transformed psychic, his eyes filled with shock and dryness.
What is this?
What is happening?
Three C-level psychics, without any substantial damage, were taken down in an instant?
Can alien technology really be this incredible? The energy response just now was absolutely comparable to a B-level telekinetic!
The key was the way that energy was used!
Even a true B-level telekinetic wouldn’t be able to take down three C-levels directly...
Zheng Shi Duo suddenly slapped himself to calm down.
He leaped up, his white wings fluttering, landing in front of the wolf-transformed psychic, picking up a sniper rifle nearby, and shot two rounds at the psychic's forehead.
After doing this, Zheng Shi Duo turned to look at the gang members and the Cleansing Squad.
"What the boss said about confidentiality should mean keeping them quiet."
"Uh..."
"Knocking them out and erasing their memories is a huge project."
Zheng Shi Duo tucked his wings away, smiling as he moved forward.
...
More than ten minutes later.
In an abandoned fire escape.
Wang Ji Xuan was wrapped in the white crane, flying straight up, his internal power constantly depleting.
At this moment, his temporarily enhanced spiritual awareness could rapidly draw in spiritual energy from within a kilometer, enough to replenish his current consumption.
There was still some distance from the fortress's main body to Area C; flying by helicopter or drone would be much faster than him flying over.
He directly used the strongest fighting method at this stage, fully assessing the situation. Instead of battling the four psychics, chasing, being forced into a corner, and counterattacking with demonic powers... it was better to go all out and resolve them quickly to save time.
The backlash from this would definitely be significant; the last time he absorbed the souls of just over twenty humans, it made him uncomfortable for a long time. This time, he directly absorbed over seventy souls...
But Wang Dao Chang was more worried that using demonic powers too much would affect a cultivator's mindset.
Right now, he felt an overwhelming killing intent rising in his heart, as if he wanted to slaughter all beings in the fortress.
A spotlight appeared above, and Wang Ji Xuan flew towards the light source, landing outside the fire door on the seventh floor of the fortress.
Lin Xiong was already waiting here with his team. Upon seeing Wang Ji Xuan, he immediately shouted, "This way!"
"Mm."
Wang Ji Xuan responded.
The soldiers guarded the entire way, and they passed through the checkpoint without stopping, directly crossing the corridor and taking the elevator to the fortress surface.
The elevator doors opened, revealing two walls of soldiers, and a multi-rotor flying vehicle was already powered up.
Not far from the flying vehicle, three figures were in a standoff.
The deep-sea mech raised its arms, opening several weapons on its mechanical thighs, smiling as it stared at Uncle Feng in front and Wei Lin Zheng a bit further away.
Wang Ji Xuan appeared, locking eyes with the three.
Wei Lin Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, an invisible force surged towards Wang Ji Xuan. He directly used thirty percent of his mental power, enough to turn a D-level psychic into a fool...
Huh? No reaction?
His killing move failed?
Wang Ji Xuan kept moving, retracting his gaze from the three.
He noticed the old man’s small movements, but he looked down on such crude tests from the other party.
Just as Uncle Feng was about to act, the destruction cannon in the deep-sea mech's palm rapidly charged up.
Even in his current state, it would be difficult to directly defeat that old man, but this Uncle Feng could be worth a try.
Wang Ji Xuan walked quickly, bending down to enter the flying vehicle, and saw Zhou Zheng De sitting across from him.
Wang Ji Xuan's stern face softened a bit: "What are you doing here?"
"To support you and avoid any accidents," Zhou Zheng De urged, "Quickly fasten your seatbelt; Red Snake is bringing Ling Tong back."
"Okay, I need to stabilize my mind first... cough!"
Wang Ji Xuan suddenly bent down to cough, forcefully swallowing back a mouthful of fresh blood.
The backlash had already begun.
He closed his eyes and meditated, trying to extend the current state of his demonic powers. Although the burden would increase significantly, with the current power of his spiritual awareness, he could better help Ling Tong heal.
Having used it, he must maximize its value.
The flying vehicle soared into the air, speeding towards Area C.
Just as Wang Ji Xuan and Zhou Zheng De jumped into the upper passage of the supply station, Red Snake rushed in from the northwest, carrying Ling Tong and landing inside the supply station.
Wang Ji Xuan took two steps forward, cradling the unconscious Ling Tong, whose nostrils were bleeding, and turned to dash towards her room.
"Don’t come close; leave the rest to me."
