Chapter 106 Heavenly Fire

“Ling Tong, why are you back so fast? Didn’t you say you were going on a date?”

“Lingtong, is your boyfriend not quite up to par? How about I give him some endurance training?”

“I advise you not to make any random jokes,” Red Serpent chuckled. “Ling Tong’s boyfriend is a little scary. We’d better keep our distance from him. It’s enough to clap from a distance to show our cheers and approval.”

“Huh? Red Serpent, what’s wrong with you? Shouldn’t you be stirring things up at a time like this, saying that Brother Deep Sea has been feeling weak lately or something?”

“Sigh, I witnessed a rather unpleasant scene recently,” Red Serpent sighed softly. “Don’t pry into secrets that aren’t your responsibility. Be mindful of discipline.”

He is not my boyfriend yet.

Ling Tong’s voice rang out, calm and composed:

“But it must be corrected that he is a very nice person, with a cheerful personality and a great demeanor.”

The chat channel was quiet for a while.

A few girls whispered among themselves:

“Oh no, Tongtong’s fallen for it.”

“Ugh! How annoying! Tongtong is so cool, how could she be bewitched by a man! I love Tongtong!”

“How handsome must this man be? How far have you two gotten? Have you started kissing? Do you understand the user experience of high-elastic film and threaded film?”

Inside the truck, Master Wang raised his hand and touched his cheek, feeling smooth skin.

He usually takes good care of his stubble.

The black-clad instructor made a smirk with his mechanical face and muttered, “It feels like my own cabbage has been eaten by a pig.”

Wang Jixuan frowned and said, “Senior, it’s wrong of you to swear.”

“Hahaha,” the black instructor continued to mutter, “These guys are too undisciplined. They haven’t even noticed the enemy planes entering their airspace yet. They’re going to fail.”

A deep-sea voice immediately rang out: “Enemy aircraft detected!”

The chat channel went silent instantly.

Red Serpent and another battle maiden quickly reported:

“Target locked.”

“Six psionicists, psionic reaction level 3A2B1C, suspected to be the Judgment Squad.”

“Mission objectives have been assigned.”

Deep Sea Express:

“To reiterate, Team A will launch the first wave of attacks. Team B should prioritize eliminating the two strongest players. Team C should continue to lie in ambush, be wary of any countermeasures from the enemy, try to capture one target alive, and prioritize self-protection!”

“Laser cannon positions ready, missile positions ready, drone kill positions ready, A-team ready.”

“Countdown, three, two, one…”

“Fire.”

On the holographic terrain map, energy reactions appeared simultaneously in dozens of areas. The nearest camp, the C-zone camp outside Fortress 76, and the perimeter of the ambush site, were illuminated by more than a dozen red laser beams.

One of the main characteristics of laser cannons is that their energy is easily weakened by dust in the air, and their power decreases with distance.

However, even with more than a dozen laser cannons simultaneously illuminating the belly area of ​​the aircraft, a tremendous amount of energy was still transmitted.

boom!

An explosion was heard in the distance!

The C-level psionic reaction disappeared immediately!

On the topographical map in front of Wang Jixuan, it was clearly visible that the red dot representing the plane had exploded into five red dots. Two red dots remained in the sky, their shapes almost overlapping, while three red dots fell towards the ground, one decelerating and two in free fall.

Humanoid mechs are deployed!

A pop-up window appears on the holographic map.

Wang Jixuan could clearly see from the overhead view:

Three three-meter-tall mechs burst out of the desert, unleashing three beams of purple light from the destructive cannons in other directions, their target the three falling figures.

In a very short time, these three AB-level psionicists were completely powerless in mid-air. One of them had half of his body blown off by the Destruction Cannon, and the other had his chest pierced through.

Only one psychic managed to float upwards and dodge the deadly destructive cannon fire, but the humanoid mechs that rushed out from three directions were already closing in on him!

A huge wave of fire suddenly appeared in the sky!

A humanoid black shadow passed through the wreckage of the exploded plane and crashed straight down towards the B-level psychic below, who was marked as Target Number Four!

Wang Jixuan could barely make out what was happening through the video frame that appeared on the sand table.

A psychic shockwave appeared around Target Number Four!

This was a mental shock he released, attempting to force back the three half-human mechs.

The second target, which was rushing down from above, suddenly stopped and raised its hand to pull the fourth target upwards. The fourth target’s body accelerated upwards.

Three humanoid mechs simultaneously opened their ammunition magazines!

Hundreds of miniature anti-personnel missiles, trailing plumes of fire, bombarded targets number two and number four in rapid succession!

Target number two is an A-level psionicist who is now displaying powerful battlefield dominance. His special armor is shimmering like scales, and flames are shooting out in all directions from him. Two huge fireballs engulf him and target number four at the same time!

The dense roar was deafening!

Wang Jixuan found it incredibly enjoyable.

Three humanoid mechs, their figures intertwined like a waltz in the night sky, gracefully passed beneath the fireballs. As the energy of the two fireballs weakened, the three mechs simultaneously raised their mechanical arms, unleashing three long-awaited destructive cannons that simultaneously emitted purple halos!

Destruction Cannon Attack!

Target number four opened his mouth and let out a fierce howl, trying to make a last struggle, but three high-energy beams instantly melted his neck, heart, and abdomen!

Target number four’s body exploded violently.

Target number two decisively abandoned the rescue and flew rapidly into the air.

Three cyborgs wearing special armor designed for psionicists quickly retreated, their tails flaming with butterfly-like flames.

They did not pursue.

The real attack targeting these two A-level psionicists has already arrived!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, a series of rapid whooshing sounds came from all directions. Thick ‘arrows’ with bright trails of flame rushed toward the two A-level psionicists at supersonic speed, numbering in the hundreds.

Target Number Two kept shouting, and waves of fire swept in all directions!

Wang Jixuan could barely make out that the armor on this guy was constantly spewing out white smoke, which seemed to be a kind of combustion accelerant.

Target number one kept tilting his head back, his hands raised high, as if he were pulling at the curtain of the night sky.

A thousand meters above the ground, a dark cloud is rapidly gathering!

Boundless Heavenly Venerable!

Target number one can use magic?

Wang Jixuan’s brow twitched as he watched.

Because of the great distance, Wang Jixuan could not directly sense the strength of the person’s aura, but he had seen through the battlefield images that a huge ice ball was rapidly condensing in that dark cloud.

The diameter of the ice hockey puck exceeds sixty or seventy meters!

In their cultivation world, techniques of this scale can only be used after reaching the Golden Core realm, or by Foundation Establishment cultivators using formations.

This shows that there is a large margin of error in the strength rating of these psionicists who received psionic infusions; both are A-level psionicists, but Target No. 1 is much stronger than Target No. 2.

The drone swarm has arrived!

One by one, the ‘arrows’ spread their wings, ejected their outer shells, and accelerated again. Some drones, like missiles, directly charged towards two aerial targets, while others formed an array, opened their cannons, and began firing rapidly.

Drones were swept away and exploded by the fire waves, and countless fireballs appeared in the sky.

Commander Deepsea’s calm voice rang out: “Ringling, Blackscale, cease the ambush and immediately snipe target number one! The energy reaction above him is still rising!”

“yes!”

“clear.”

Two responses, and two pop-up boxes.

Within the frame, two silver mechs appeared simultaneously from two different directions!

Both mechs are six or seven meters tall. Ling Tong’s mech is unmasked and kneeling on one knee on a sandy spot. The smooth lines of the mech and the slender body symbolizing a female pilot embody the violent aesthetics of mechanical science.

The mech raised a massive electromagnetic gun, five meters long, causing the sand dunes behind it to tremble continuously. The machines hidden beneath them were running at high speed, injecting streams of energy into the electromagnetic gun.

The same scenario played out on a hillside a few kilometers away.

Fire!

The electromagnetic gun emitted a dull thud, and a shockwave appeared on the ground. Grains of sand jumped and floated upwards, and the two mechs were almost overturned.

Two slender, specially made projectiles shot into the air at nearly ten times the speed of sound!

The entire ballistic firing process took less than two seconds!

The A-level psionicist with his hands raised had no time to react. His self-defense armor activated at the last minute, and just as his electromagnetic shield was about to explode, two high-speed metal blocks pierced through it!

Target number one’s body was blasted to pieces!

Target number two let out a desperate cry.

Below, Ling Tong and another half-human mech had regained their balance and were aiming at target number two.

A deep-sea voice rang out: “Try to capture Target Number Two alive as bait to lure out more powerful psionicists from the enemy. Deplete his psionic energy with the drone swarm.”

“yes!”

Several humanoid mechs responded briefly, and the second and third waves of drones took off again.

Inside the freight car.

Master Wang frowned as he watched this scene, and couldn’t help but click his tongue softly.

“So-so,” the black instructor shook his head, “They performed worse than in their usual training, and their preparations were inadequate. Deep Sea is not a qualified commander.”

“Isn’t this enough?” Wang Jixuan asked, glaring. “Sir! Aren’t you asking for too much?”

“It’s not that my expectations are too high, but there are indeed many people who are better than Shen Hai.”

The black instructor said:

“Generals and soldiers are different. No matter how strong a soldier is, he is still just a soldier.”

“Remember to give a score, huh?”

The black-clad instructor suddenly let out a soft “hmm,” his mechanical, android face becoming incredibly serious as he murmured:

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

“This has happened again. These psionicists are really something, they don’t die but still stay alive.”

A voice from the deep sea echoed across the 3D map: “There are still psionic reactions in the air! That ice ball is still growing! All combat units, prepare to take cover!”

“The joint defense forces have reported that multiple missiles have been launched near Fortress 82! The flight paths are expected to be within our area!”

“These sons of bitches!”

Deep Sea cursed:

“Continue the drone attack. Red Serpent, take over the nearby air defense system. We’re here to lure out psionicists, not these scum!”

The black-clad instructor shook his head: “Look, this guy can even swear.”

Wang Jixuan: ……

The trajectory of several missiles appeared on the topographic map, and several anti-aircraft missiles were launched near Fort 76.

The incoming missiles were easily defended.

That ice hockey puck became a major problem, withstanding repeated attacks from the mechs.

The black instructor couldn’t help but mutter, “Don’t they know how many resources a missile takes? How much manpower is needed for missile maintenance? This Fortress No. 82 is really rotten… Fortunately, the hypersonic missiles and tactical nuclear weapons are controlled by the integrated theater command. These are just ordinary medium-range missiles.”

Wang Jixuan asked, “How do we deal with the ice hockey puck in the air?”

“There’s no way to solve it, we can only wait for it to fall,” the black instructor said. “Logically speaking, that A-level psionicist is already dead, so this ability should have been interrupted. The ambush location is a no-man’s land.”

“soul?”

Wang Jixuan said something simple, then frowned and pondered.

Even if he sets off now, it will be too late to get to the battlefield.

Target number two is being systematically tormented by the drone swarm; capturing him alive will not be a problem.

Each humanoid mech is an extremely valuable resource, let alone fifteen humanoid mechs lying in ambush here.

This battle was extremely costly.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a one-time cost.

The ice hockey puck started to fall from high in the sky!

But what surprised everyone present and watching from the sidelines was that the ice hockey puck began to slowly accelerate laterally, as if a giant hand was pushing it from the side!

The black-clad instructor narrowed his eyes slightly: “It’s not a soul. There are S-class psionicists lurking in the shadows, possibly hiding in the higher sky. Each of them has incredible abilities… This test is good. Let’s see how they react.”

The number of communications channels immediately increased, and the voices of the humanoid mechs were automatically converted into text, quickly scrolling past Wang Jixuan.

“The C zone, the outer perimeter of the fortress, is nearby! The puck will land in the C zone!”

“Mobilize missiles and prepare for high-altitude blasting. Team B, prepare full firepower. Team A, continue with the objective of capturing Target Number Two alive!”

“The ice hockey puck is suddenly growing bigger!”

“The puck has begun to fall, the missile has been launched!”

“Fire the Destruction Cannon!”

“A psionic reaction has appeared around the ice puck! Armor has begun to form around the ice puck! Its mass has suddenly increased!”

“There is a hidden psychic; the opponent is using their ability to increase the mass of the target ice puck!”

“The ice puck is accelerating its descent! Missile interception failed! It can’t break through that layer of ice armor!”

“Full fire from the Destruction Cannon! Team C, provide limited support! Ensure your own energy is sufficient! Reserves, unleash full firepower! Destroy it!”

A huge screen appeared directly above the holographic sand table, displaying footage captured by cameras in Zone C, an outer expansion area of ​​the fortress.

The camera was pointed at the sky, showing a huge fireball filled with murky ice, hurtling towards the ground and magnifying continuously in the camera’s view.

The ice puck was not vaporized; the ice armor that appeared on the outside isolated all the heat. It was precisely because of this outer layer of ice armor formed by psionic energy that its weight could not be measured by its volume!

Attacks kept flying in from all directions, but they were all blocked by the outer ice armor.

A piercing alarm sounded in the military camp of the outer C zone.

One by one, the miners rushed out of their dormitories and, prompted by the autonomous robots, ran frantically toward the mine shaft.

The soldiers in the camp pointed all their weapons at the sky, firing lines of fire.

Outside the former Lingtong supply station, several mechanics were looking up, their expressions turning deathly pale.

A miner couple held each other’s rough hands tightly, looking up at the ever-growing sun, their dreams of their child entering Midtown shattering.

The fireball reached the ground almost in the blink of an eye…

Ten thousand meters in the air, a ‘young’ woman dressed in an elegant evening gown stood quietly, her outstretched right hand pressing down repeatedly, her expression utterly calm.

She glanced at the firelight flying towards her left, a mocking smile playing on her lips, and lightly tapped her finger.

The giant ice ball crashed into the earth, the shockwave destroyed the tin huts in Camp C, and countless flames exploded in all directions, tearing countless figures to shreds in an instant.

Amidst the roar, a massive mushroom cloud slowly rose.

The earth trembled continuously.

The ‘young’ woman’s figure flashed, her body enveloped in a faint blue light, soaring through the air towards a higher altitude.

The machine has a maximum flight altitude limit, but she does not.

…

Inside the freight car.

Wang Jixuan calmly watched the aerial footage before him. Area C was almost completely destroyed, and the number of casualties started in the thousands and rose rapidly.

The humanoid mechs are temporarily safe; they are pursuing the S-class psionicist.

The Taoist priest remained silent.

The black-clad instructor remained remarkably calm, tapping his fingers in the air.

“Fortress 76 is no longer safe. The ones who have arrived are not ordinary S-class psionicists. Those six old bastards have intervened and started to wrestle with the Commander-in-Chief.”

“Next, I have a few options for you to choose from. Regarding your temporary hiding place, I personally prefer a scenic agricultural fortress…”

“How about we hide in Fort 82?”

Wang Jixuan looked up at the black-clad instructor, his eyes filled with a hint of coldness.
