Chapter 124 A resounding victory!

‘S-rank is indeed a comprehensive upgrade compared to A-rank, and quite difficult to kill.’

Wang Jixuan looked up at the meteorite crashing in from the horizon, and… the humanoid rocket rushing towards the meteorite.

His expression behind the mask was somewhat ‘numb’.

Old Hei, Fu Jian?

Wow, this commander-in-chief really knows how to play the game.

The Taoist priest pursed his lips, not paying much attention to these details. He locked his spiritual sense down and his figure fell into the yellow sand formation.

A single thought can ignite an attack; a single thought can bring it to an end.

The spiritual energy of the Yellow Sand Formation was on the verge of collapse, so Wang Jixuan stopped the formation from rotating.

He maneuvered the X-armor and landed steadily in front of the unrecognizable corpse of Mo Feng. His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and several talismans flew out of his waist pouch, surrounding the body.

An S-class psychic’s soul must be very strong; even a centipede with a hundred legs will not die easily, so we cannot give the opponent the opportunity to possess our body and be reborn.

Wang Jixuan silently recited in his heart:

‘All directions stir, the six spirits return to their origin, evil demons vanish, and the Dao proceeds naturally! So be it!’

A ripple spread out, and a fragmented phantom appeared, barely recognizable as Mo Feng’s figure.

The soul isn’t very strong?

The True Fire Talisman shone simultaneously, the three flames intertwined, and Mo Feng’s soul melted away like solid ice, with streams of pure spiritual energy spreading in all directions.

Wang Jixuan wanted to absorb this spiritual energy…

Never mind, I’m feeling a bit nauseous due to physical discomfort.

Master Wang feared that this female demon would affect the purity of his Daoist body.

A moment later, Mo Feng’s last wisp of soul and remnant spirit vanished, completely eliminating any possibility of him possessing an ordinary human. Only then did Wang Jixuan breathe a sigh of relief.

S-rank might have other abilities or be able to use other spells.

Wang Jixuan used some underhanded techniques to search for Mo Feng’s remnant soul within a radius of several dozen meters, and even searched the ground twice.

A buzzing sound came through the headphones.

“Holy shit, holy shit!”

Zheng Shiduo had almost lost his ability to speak; he repeated himself for more than ten seconds before he began to cheer fiercely:

“We actually did it! The four of us took down S! Hahaha! Holy crap! I’m a fake super expert who killed S now!”

Ling Tong landed beside Wang Jixuan and instructed over the communication channel: “All departments should proceed according to plan. Please do not slacken your efforts.”

“Here it comes! I was just unconscious and completely exhausted. My legs are still a bit weak… This armor is awesome! When Feng Bangjie exploded, I thought I was going to be blown to bits, but it was just a comminuted fracture. I’ll put the bones back in place first… Ouch, that hurts! But it feels so good!”

Zheng Shiduo kept howling, his voice filled with undisguised excitement.

Boom!

A huge noise came from the northwest sky.

Ling Tong removed his mask and gazed northwest.

Peony, wearing her tattered ordinary armor, searched the ground for her missing right hand.

Wang Jixuan had finished casting the spell and confirmed that Mo Feng was dead and his life had ended before he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mo Feng is confirmed dead… Where is Mo Feng’s team located?”

Ling Tong immediately replied, “Their planes never approached our identification zone. Should we go and support the Commander-in-Chief?”

Wang Jixuan asked, “Was that old man who just flew by Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian? The one the psionicists call the Old Devil?”

“Yes. Although I don’t know why the Commander-in-Chief isn’t in the command center but here, I think it might be a deliberate ambush by the Commander-in-Chief. The meteorite rushing over there has a powerful psionic reaction.”

Master Wang calmly nodded: “They must have come to set up an ambush.”

Goodness.

He suddenly realized that the black instructor had only appeared in front of him the whole time! And he had always heard of Fu Jian’s great name, but there was no video or audio recording of Fu Jian in the fortress at all!

He had led his men back to the supply depot earlier, and the old man had left a message for Mudan saying he was going to a meeting!

Wang Jixuan asked, “Do you have a photo of the black seashell?”

“Hmm?” Although Ling Tong was a little puzzled, she still sent two images to Wang Jixuan’s armor.

When Wang Jixuan opened it, he saw a bald old man of medium build and full of energy. Most of his body had been modified into machinery, but it was still some distance from the level of modification of “Grandpa Black”.

Good heavens! Wang Jixuan exclaimed, “Good heavens!”

The peony has always been sarcastic and mocking its creator!

Ling Tong had already realized what was happening. Normally serious and unsmiling in battle, she couldn’t help but smile.

“I bet you had a lot of fun with that instructor over the past few months.”

“Hehehe, it’s alright, he’s quite amiable… Let’s keep this a secret as much as possible to save face for the old man.”

Ling Tong urged, “The sandstorm is about to settle; let’s continue planning the next steps.”

Wang Jixuan agreed, activated the X-Armor stealth system, and turned to walk down the sand dune.

Zheng Shiduo activated his stealth system, limped up, disappeared into the sand and dust, revealed himself, opened his mask, spat viciously at the charred corpse on the ground, and, still not satisfied, kicked it twice more.

It was as if only one X-armor had been fighting here from beginning to end.

In the northwestern sky, two figures were chasing each other at high speed, the old half-mechanical being relentlessly pursuing the old psionicist.

Nearby, I found the peony on the right, which was collecting the fallen array bases according to plan.

Wang Jixuan hid in the back of the military vehicle, lay down obediently, and covered himself with a tarpaulin.

“call……”

Through the gaps in the tarpaulin, he saw the clear blue sky and more than a dozen supersonic fighter jets flying overhead.

Uncle Hei, Fu Jian;

Formation, drone swarm;

A direct experience of the strength of an S-rank psionicist;

Most importantly, the killing of Mo Feng, who indiscriminately slaughtered innocent people, should be a landmark event that will drive various war zones to counter the Thirteenth Institute.

‘Another day of clear-headedness.’

Master Wang focused on regulating the chaotic internal energy within his body through his breathing exercises.

He could leave the finishing touches to Ling Tong; he was completely at ease.

…

At the same time.

The area above Fortress No. 82.

Inside the stealth aircraft flying at an altitude of over 20,000 meters, the psionicists from Mo Feng’s team looked at each other, their gazes finally settling on the command that popped up on the screen in front of them.

Order from the leader of the Destruction Squad;

Eliminate all residents of Fortress 82 as soon as possible to avenge Mo Feng’s death.

“What should we do? Should we…do it?”

“Let’s do it, we have no choice but to do it now! Otherwise we’ll all be judged when we get back. When the captain was ambushed down there, we couldn’t get close at all. We’re just B-level psionicists, we can’t fly fast!”

“The higher-ups won’t listen to your explanations. An S-rank has died, not killed by a Blade Beast. This hasn’t happened in the last ten years or so!”

Does this mean we have to take the blame?

“Make a move! We must make a move! Slaughter this entire fortress! Turn the equipment up to the maximum! Let them pay with their lives for the captain! This is our only way to survive!”

The group fell silent and returned to their respective posts.

Although they had lost Mo Feng’s psionic amplification, they were now very close to the fortress in a straight line.

Although their actions here could expose them, their aircraft could be transformed into a spaceship, allowing them to escape even if discovered.

Adjust the instrument to its maximum power.

The man with the ‘bloodworm’ ability put on a helmet, sat in the amplification device, and pushed his own power to the maximum, his expression gradually becoming frenzied.

“Die! All of you, die!”

Visible psionic shockwaves spread toward Fortress 82!

The ‘Bloodworm’ psionicist was suddenly taken aback. He widened his eyes and looked at his teammate beside him.

“I can’t sense it anymore.”

“What?”

“I can’t sense them anymore! Damn it! Those bloodworms I fed with my own blood, I can’t sense them anymore! They’ve disappeared! They disappeared inside Fortress 82! This can’t be! They might have moved the infected away from underground! What do we do…”

“What?”

Beep beep beep!

Suddenly, a piercing sound came from the radar interface next to me.

“Pull up! Pull up! The missile has locked onto us!”

“They couldn’t have moved away, could they have chosen the wrong fortress?”

“This is 82! There are still locators hidden inside!”

The group was in complete disarray.

In a corner of the cabin, the middle-aged female technician couldn’t help but raise her hand to her forehead and mutter, “A bunch of idiots.”

The female technician glanced at the missile warning that appeared on the panel in front of her, and quickly deleted the database on the aircraft, shut down the defense system of the expensive fighter jet, and locked the maximum takeoff speed.

“The light of the Beast God shines eternally.”

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

The female technician pulled a sharp utility knife from her pocket, smiled, and plunged it into her own neck, sliding it half a circle from left to right before collapsing limply to the ground.

The cabin was engulfed in flames a dozen seconds later.

Some corner of the city below Fortress 82.

Wu Man, pale-faced, was wearing a helmet and sitting in a wheelchair.

The boy was nearly exhausted, suffering from a splitting headache due to overuse of his psionic powers.

He looked at the last batch of infected people being purified in the room in front of him, a serene smile appearing on his lips. He took out his communicator, sent a message to Wang Jixuan, and then tilted his head back to faint.

【Sir, the purification task is complete. It was very easy.】

The two humanoid mechs behind him quickly stepped forward and swiftly checked the boy’s vital signs.

…

A few minutes later.

Ding ding.

Zhou Zhengde grabbed the communicator from the desk.

【Wang Zheng (The Light of Righteousness): Mo Feng is dead. The poison gas at Fortress 82 has been cleared. The danger is over.】

“pretty!”

Zhou Zhengde’s eyes widened, he clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the corner of the table, then gasped for breath as he clutched his fist.

He shook his hand, glanced around instinctively to make sure he was in his small prison cell, and then replied to the message with peace of mind.

【Xiao Zhou (The Great Orator): How did you do that? Such a huge thing, and you talk about it so casually! I don’t even know how to praise you enough! You killed Mo Feng? An S-rank psionicist! Ranked thirty-sixth at that!】

【Wang Zheng: I was just one of the participants in the plan. To be precise, it was Ling Tong, Mudan, Captain Zheng, and me—the four of us, with a few of my unique tricks, the full support of the theater army, and… your grandfather’s presence.】

【Xiao Zhou: Huh? My grandfather? Wasn’t he always at the command center?】

【Wang Zheng: Have you seen him recently?】

【Xiao Zhou: No, he’s usually very busy, attending all sorts of meetings, and he’s quite fierce, so I’m actually a bit afraid to hang around him unless he invites me over for dinner. But I’m currently serving my sentence in prison.】

【Wang Zheng: I can now say that your grandfather was a big guy who swore constantly and loved telling dirty jokes. And, well, he also had that little refrigerator hidden in his chest that he was so proud of.】

【Xiao Zhou: What is all this nonsense?】

【Wang Zheng: He disguised himself as Instructor Black Shell and protected me closely for a while! Good heavens! He even fooled me about the color of my underwear! He’s so cunning!】

【Rin-tō (Witness to Miracles): When describing our Commander-in-Chief, please try to use more elegant language.】

【Wang Zheng: You misled me; you have to compensate me.】

【Ling Tong: Actually, what I’ve always been told is that my grandfather, who is in charge of biology, is protecting you. As for the Commander-in-Chief switching places with him, I really didn’t know that.】

【Ryoko: If you’re particularly bothered by this, I can formally apologize.】

【Wang Zheng: It’s nothing, it’s all minor, don’t take it to heart. This actually saves me a lot of communication costs with the military. Besides, I quite like Uncle Hei, that old rascal Fu Jian.】

【Wang Zheng: I suffered heavy losses this time. I used up hundreds of crystal cores and even revealed some of my trump cards, which makes me feel a bit bad. I urgently need some reassurance.】

【Ling Tong: Hmm, I can make you a cup of coffee.】

【Wang Zheng: I was actually hinting to Zheng De to help me get more crystal cores from Commander Dongfang.】

Zhou Zhengde smiled with narrowed eyes and muttered, “These two are really interesting. What era are we living in? Do they still want to start dating by holding hands like those middle school students?”

【Xiao Zhou: Leave this to me. Could you send me a few photos of Mo Feng’s body? I need them.】

Ding ding.

【Wang Zheng: Do not act on your own regarding this matter. Wait for orders from the military leadership.】

【Wang Zheng: I’ve just thought about it, and the wisest course of action for the military right now is to build up momentum. Mo Feng’s death has given us an absolute advantage. At this point, we need to accumulate that advantage, turn it into a winning position, and unite with as many theater commands as possible to launch a joint attack on the Thirteenth Institute.】

【Xiao Zhou: Sigh, what I’m worried about is that the Blade Beast pack is going to be active again soon.】

【Ling Tong: Very likely.】

【Wang Zheng: Are you implying that the Thirteenth Institute has connections with the Blade Beast Group?】

【Xiao Zhou: Who knows? But you’re right, I can’t rush things now. I just need to complete the tasks assigned to me by the organization, and wait for further orders. Don’t bother giving me the photo of Mo Feng’s body, although I’d love to have a go.】

【Ling Tong: Should we add Team Leader Zheng and Wu Man to the group chat?】

【Wang Zheng: Okay.】

【Xiao Zhou: I have no objection.】

【Ling Tong: Okay, I’ll go apply for encrypted communication devices for them.】

【Wang Zheng: I need to go and strengthen my bond with the Tree of Kindness.】

Zhou Zhengde was full of questions.

What the heck is the Tree of Kindness? Wouldn’t it be problematic to talk about building relationships with other people in front of Ling Tong?

Love in the Age of Fortress doesn’t discriminate between men and women.

Of course, love can transcend gender, but the number must be limited. More than two people is an ethical issue, not a matter of gender identity.

Just as Zhou Zhengde was about to ask another question, the projector on the corner of the table suddenly started working.

Several beams of light formed a screen, projecting an image of Fu Jian, the “black instructor,” wearing a black leather coat stained with large patches of blood.

Fu Jian frowned as he looked at Zhou Zhengde.

Zhou Zheng stood up abruptly and immediately saluted:

“Zhou Zhengde, Central City Security Team of Fortress No. 76! Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief!”

“Yes, very good, full of energy.”

Fu Jian nodded and threw the bloody arm he was holding into the insulated box next to him.

Zhou Zhengde asked in a low voice, “Grandpa, what is that?”

“The left arm of a hidden S-class psionicist. Although this guy escaped, his abilities will likely be greatly reduced, and he will probably never be able to advance to SS.”

Fu Jian said calmly:

“Mo Feng was the key material he had been cultivating for many years, which was used to help him advance to SS rank.”

“This old man has always been a hardliner in the ruling faction. This time, we directly dealt a blow to his power, and the results were quite good.”

“It’s like this, Zhengde. Well, the reason I’m contacting you suddenly is because there’s something your grandfather would like to ask you.”

Zhou Zhengde frowned and pursed his lips, focusing intently on his grandfather’s test questions, while also feeling a bit curious.

What could be so difficult that even my all-powerful grandfather couldn’t solve?
