Chapter 46 Steel Wings Unfold!

The vibration lasted for more than 30 seconds.

“Is it really an earthquake?” the burly officer asked, bewildered.

The female officer suddenly picked up the button walkie-talkie, listened carefully for a while, and excitedly shouted, “The psionicists are starting to retreat! Listen!”

Wang Jixuan’s ears twitched slightly, barely managing to make out what was being said inside.

“Move quickly! It’s a cyborg from the front lines!”

“Damn it! That bastard Kong Nu made us fight this monster!”

“Retreat! Everyone retreat! Back to the upper city! Being targeted by her means death! Hurry up! Let those C-ranks fight her!”

“Watch out for her laser cannon…buzz—”

The walkie-talkie emitted a piercing noise, and the entire fortress trembled slightly once again.

Wang Jixuan and the other four looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zi.

Ling Tong’s calm voice simultaneously rang in all five people’s earphones:

“Elevator number 7, you can come down directly.”

“Seven or eight psionicists escaped, taking a passage that’s quite far from your location. There are still three C-level psionicists here, but they’ve been suppressed with firepower and will be cleared out quickly.”

“Your squad did a good job, eliminating five psionicists with minimal firepower.”

“Please come down immediately and assist me in conducting an investigation and collecting evidence.”

Wang Jixuan: ……

He felt inexplicably insulted.

I don’t know why.

…

Finally, we got on the elevator;

Although it’s not a luxurious, comfortable, and free central elevator.

The spacious interior of elevator number seven is furnished with three rows of benches, equipped with various safety and explosion-proof devices, ensuring that they can sit comfortably.

The elevators in the fortress are similar in nature to buses in human cities during the Golden Age.

When Wang Jixuan and his group of five arrived at the forty-fifth floor of the fortress, hundreds of security guards in light blue uniforms had already gathered there, guarding the usual passageway leading to the forty-sixth floor.

This was the usual route for the “high-ranking officials” of Midtown and Uptown to go to the City of Pleasure. There was a simple multi-level hydraulic elevator, but now the elevator has been destroyed. There are several burning handcrafted cars on the downward spiral road, and scattered human parts everywhere.

Clearly, a fierce battle took place here.

Wang Jixuan and Zhou Zhengde were both wearing security team uniforms, which undoubtedly provided great convenience.

After a brief discussion, the five men, each carrying their weapons and equipment, entered the winding road, easily passed the security team checkpoint, and entered the central area of ​​the 46th floor.

illumination.

Abundant sunlight.

Within the City of Joy, almost all light sources were turned on, and the sound of gunfire from a gang shootout could be heard in the distance. Dense smoke rose in one area of ​​the City of Joy, and vehicles carrying gang members were constantly fleeing from there.

Wang Jixuan and his five-person team had only taken a few steps when a huge roar came from below, and a small mushroom cloud slowly rose up.

Because the interior of the fortress was a semi-enclosed space, the shockwave from the explosion turned into a slight heat wave, which still retained some warmth when it hit Wang Jixuan and the others.

Immediately following, a purple laser beam suddenly appeared, shooting straight upwards at an angle, burning a bright red area on the ‘metal ceiling’ above.

“God…”

Zhou Zhengde swallowed hard.

“How… how do we make this fight legal?”

Wang Jixuan thought for a moment: “The psionicist violated regulations by using heavy firepower.”

Zhou Zhengde snapped his fingers: “That’s right!”

Ling Tong’s voice came through the earpiece: “Please bring me the second equipment box, thank you. It contains special equipment for hunting psionicists.”

“good.”

Wang Jixuan responded, and as he ran, he raised his sword fingers together with both hands, and eight more Swiftness Talismans flew out and stuck to the outside of Zhou Zhengde and the other three’s thighs.

He pointed his sword forward, and the five-man squad’s speed increased once again.

To ensure the talismans remained hidden, Wang Jixuan would use the last trace of spiritual power from the talismans he lent out to self-immolate.

Wang Jixuan had thought about this question very seriously.

The reason he was able to defeat a D-level psionicist at the Qi Refining stage was essentially because he possessed numerous cultivator’skills’ such as spells, techniques, talismans, and arrays.

This is his unique advantage.

Psionicists all have a large amount of energy within their bodies, which can be activated by spells.

In other words, if his spells are learned by the other party, the other party can easily master how to use their own energy, thus greatly increasing their strength.

Of course, the mottled aura affects the power of the spell.

Master Wang realized that he was now an enemy of the Thirteenth Institute, and that the Thirteenth Institute… really didn’t seem like a good person…

Even with Zheng Shiduo, Wang Jixuan had no trust in him whatsoever for the time being.

Therefore, even if he were captured and dissected by the Thirteen Institutes, he could not possibly teach his skills such as incantations and talismans to anyone before he reached the peak of cultivation again.

If he could reach the pinnacle of cultivation and ascend to immortality, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to eliminate the rampaging demonic beasts and powerful figures in this world, and leave behind some talismans, spells, incantations, and arrays that don’t involve sect rules, as well as the cultivation methods he created himself.

The law should not be easily passed on, because the good and evil of living beings are uncertain.

These were just Wang Jixuan’s own thoughts. As for how to ensure that what he left behind was used for the right purpose, he had not yet considered it.

Of course, he actually preferred… not to leave anything behind.

He didn’t come here to preach.

With a slight thought running through his mind, Wang Jixuan led the four of them to the vicinity of the explosion zone.

Ling Tong’s voice rang out again: “Team Leader Mu, find a flat area and lay the boxes flat according to the markings.”

“Understood,” Wang Jixuan flipped over and jumped onto a low building nearby.

Zhou Zhengde shouted, “Let’s go ahead and provide support!” and led four team members forward at high speed.

Wang Jixuan crouched down and fiddled with the metal box. Soon he heard the sound of an engine running inside. With a hissing sound of air being released, the panel on the top of the box stood up on its own, and metal tubes that were extending out flew out and crashed into a nightclub building 300 meters away.

Inside the dance hall, lights were flashing continuously, and Wang Jixuan could barely make out a few figures moving back and forth.

Then what?

Wang Jixuan was confused, but he heard Zheng Shiduo shouting in his earphones.

“It’s alright, it’s alright! No need to rush! Leave it to our battle maidens! Come over here! Look what I’ve got! Wow! The industrial fortress is so rich!”

Master Wang was somewhat puzzled.

The metal box in front of him closed itself, so he picked it up again, and with a few leaps, landed on a rooftop outside the dance hall where the fierce battle was taking place.

A short while later, several black lines appeared on Wang Jixuan’s forehead.

On a rooftop a few dozen meters away, Zheng Shiduo had somehow brought over several huge speakers and had a few gang members hostage to test them out; they were now finally set up.

“Play some music, something energetic!”

“Soldiers! Now it’s time for our work! Team Leader Mu! Team Leader Mu, aren’t you coming over? Okay, Captain Zhou, come join us… Haha! Yes! Everyone take two glow sticks, line up in a row, facing the battlefield, and move to the rhythm! Hover your butts, like this, let the glow sticks crisscross and spin, one, two, three, four, change direction, and do it again! Yes! That’s it! We are making a huge contribution to this battle!”

At the psychic’s call, five figures lined up in front of the speaker wall, spotlights were deliberately shone on them, and then they began to dance in unison.

Wang Jixuan: ……

He was just about to make a comment and remind them that there were still a few powerful psionicists to deal with when a loud explosion suddenly came from the dance hall next door.

The roof of the dance hall suddenly collapsed, and a figure shot straight up.

It’s Ling Tong!

Wang Jixuan subconsciously crouched down, his eyes fixed on Ling Tong’s figure, and gripped the sniper rifle.

A pair of steel wings appeared on Ling Tong’s back, and her left mechanical arm pierced through the chest of a man covered in brown hair, slamming his corpse against the ceiling above, creating a shallow shockwave.

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

The’steel pipes’ that had just flown out extended into ‘iron sheets’, forming these steel wings.

Ling Tong withdrew her left arm, letting the corpse in front of her fall freely, and looked down.

On the collapsed rooftop of the dance hall, two wounded psionicists glared angrily at Ling Tong.

Ling Tong slowly turned around, her long, flowing hair fluttering behind her, the halo of steel wings behind her constantly flashing, and her delicate face even gained a touch of holiness.

A sense of cold sanctity.

Two figures below leaped at the same time!

Ling Tong tilted his head slightly, raised his right robotic arm slightly, and spread his five fingers.

Boom!

Steel wings fully deployed!

The next moment!

A dense barrage of iron arrows rained down, and in Master Wang’s eyes, a burning rain of iron was reflected!

The piercing whistling sound and the dense explosions drowned out the sonic symphony.

Zhou Zhengde and his three companions, who were dancing the cheerleading routine, covered their ears and squatted down, leaving only Zheng Shiduo shouting and laughing wildly.

The entire dance hall building was instantly filled with the light of the explosion. The building collapsed rapidly, burying the two ‘precious’ C-level psionicists.

Ling Tong’s voice rang in their headphones, calm and emotionless:

“Cleanup complete.”

…

How amazing!

Without cultivating qi, condensing the soul, or gathering the spirit, he can master so many weapons simply through skillful techniques!

Wang Jixuan’s Dao heart was also shaken by the scene before him.

He began to understand what sustained humanity in this world in its tenacious survival against the onslaught of the Blade Beasts.

Science and firepower!

Master Wang wasn’t sure how to categorize the combat girls’ strength, but he felt that this firepower system was quite good, and that psionicists were actually much inferior in comparison.

This is also because he genuinely looks down on psionicists…

Ling Tong descended downwards, its wings detaching on their own, and its ‘blades’ automatically rolled up into the shape of steel pipes, hurtling towards Wang Jixuan with a trail of flames.

Wang Jixuan understood and immediately laid the metal box flat. The metal box opened automatically and sprayed out thick white smoke to clean and cool the steel pipes.

The halo under Ling Tong’s elbow went out.

She landed beside Wang Jixuan, and then… stumbled.

Wang Jixuan reacted quickly, raising his hand to support Ling Tong’s mechanical arm.

The robotic arm is very hot, but it’s not a big problem.

Ling Tong’s forehead was covered in a little cold sweat, and she frowned and groaned softly in pain.

“Are you injured?”

Wang Jixuan glanced at his teammates over there, and they also noticed Ling Tong’s unusual behavior and rushed over.

“without.”

Ling Tong quickly recovered and said softly:

“That’s why I’m on leave. During the battle with the Blade Beast, I suffered a mental attack from a General-level Blade Beast.”

She stood up straight, her posture still elegant and upright.

Wang Jixuan carefully released her arm and exclaimed in admiration, “You’re very strong.”

“My strength comes from my support team,” Ling Tong said softly. “I’m just a driver and operator, part of the team.”

“I mean your willpower,” Wang Jixuan added.

Zheng Shiduo floated over directly and was the first to arrive here.

“Ling Tong, are you alright?”

“fine.”

Should we continue to split up?

Zheng Shiduo proactively offered the following suggestion:

“If you’re worried, then have Zhou Zhengde and Mu Liang come with me. You stay here and investigate and gather evidence. With the commotion we’ve caused here, Kong Nu is probably already trying to escape!”

Ling Tong asked, “Captain Zheng, do you think I lack intelligence?”

“I don’t think so. You’ve been exceptionally smart since you were little.”

“I will not allow you, representing Professor Zhuang, to act alone.”

Ling Tong said calmly:

“My investigation into Kong Nu was merely a process.”

Zhou Zhengde and the others continued to take a detour below.

Zheng Shiduo paused for a moment, then sighed: “I knew it. You guys were actually investigating Professor Zhuang. Kong Nu is just trash. He’s not a big shot at all. Every social class has its own struggles. It’s really disgusting!”

“If Kong Nu tries to escape by plane, he will be shot down by the defense forces.”

“Our current task is to enter the forty-ninth floor.”

Ling Tong raised his left arm, and two small modules rose from it, with a simple projection screen appearing on them.

“Very good, I have gained command of the clearing forces in this area…”

Zheng Shiduo pursed his lips slightly, lowered his head as if he was thinking about something, and when he looked up, his eyes shone with a ghostly green light as he looked at the back of Ling Tong’s head.

Balanced psionicists possess a wide range of abilities; they also have some of the Blade Beast’s mental shock and hypnotic techniques…

Sudden.

A figure moved behind Ling Tong, and a pair of pale golden eyes cut off Zheng Shiduo’s gaze, the two eyes meeting.
