Chapter 155 A formidable foe: Fire Fusion!

On the seventh floor of Fortress No. 76, Xing Tian had only been gone for half a minute.

After swallowing the pill, his breathing returned to normal.

Wang Jixuan felt a rush of breath, lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, his spirits soaring once more.

This Blood Qi Pill is indeed a good thing. Although it is produced by demonic methods and there are some side effects from taking too much, the overall effect is still quite good.

The main problem right now is the lack of materials to refine herbal elixirs.

Peony removed the damaged X-armor component and saw Wang Jixuan’s wound, which had closed on its own, surrounded by blood mist.

She frowned and asked, “Sir, how should we handle this?”

“Don’t worry about it, it’s not a serious injury… Bring him his broken leg.”

Master Wang responded softly, guiding his blood and qi to circulate around the wound, constantly pondering whether he had memorized any techniques like the Thousand-Mile Soul-Chasing Technique in his past life.

Oh no, this one isn’t available.

Their sect wasn’t a demonic sect after all, so they didn’t collect any techniques in that area.

Or perhaps he collected them, but missed them while searching.

Xing Tian was left with one leg…

The only technique Wang Jixuan could use was the secret curse technique from the Miao Gu poison arts, but using this curse technique would require sacrificing at least several hundred lives to seriously injure Xing Tian. Given Xing Tian’s previously demonstrated strong self-healing ability, it seemed unlikely that he could directly kill him.

this……

Let’s forget about it.

I’ll settle scores with Xing Tian after I break through to the Golden Core Realm, and remember this ambush as a grudge.

The Taoist priest was in a bad mood.

Peony hurriedly jumped back into the gap, and Ling Tong brushed past her.

Ling Tong frowned as she looked at the injury on Wang Jixuan’s shoulder. The visor of her Blade Armor opened on its own, revealing her slightly nervous face.

She knelt on one knee in front of Wang Jixuan, and an emergency tourniquet popped out from the side of her armor.

Ji Xiao and Ji Yale also joined them. The two brothers had calm expressions, stable emotions, and compassion in their eyes.

Buddhism made them kind and gentle.

Wang Jixuan did not stop Ling Tong from bandaging him, and asked in a low voice, “Can we move now? There will definitely be other spiritualists coming to kill us. They probably see me as the inheritor of the spiritualist civilization, just like the Blade Beasts.”

“Hmm?” Ling Tong asked softly, “Isn’t that right?”

She’s incredibly perceptive.

Not entirely.

Wang Jixuan chuckled:

“This Xing Tian is really disgusting. A dignified S-class psionicist actually came here to conduct reconnaissance. However, his target should be the Demon-Slaying Dagger.”

“He took away a demon-slaying dagger.”

“Is there a positioning device?”

“Yes, but it has been blocked. The last location it showed was deep underground, in a passage where the Blade Beast was active.”

Ling Tong said quickly:

“Headquarters has already dispatched two second-generation half-human mechs to provide support, and they will arrive in this airspace in thirty minutes.”

“The entire fortress is now under full martial law. We have deployed six half-human mechs and a special forces team of two thousand men here. Unless it’s someone with Xing Tian’s freakish infiltration ability, there shouldn’t be any problems later. This time, it was indeed our fault for being defensively inadequate. Sorry.”

“Now that everyone is armed, I’ve told them not to come down for the time being, but to guard all the passageways.”

“If we relocate rashly, we are more likely to fall into danger.”

“Moreover, if a relocation is to be made later, it would be best to go to the headquarters. Although there are still a large number of spies at the middle and lower levels there, at least the higher-ups have been cleaned up and the military strength is the most abundant.”

Wang Jixuan nodded, about to say, “Then I’ll do whatever you say,” but before he could finish speaking, Wan Xiaoqi shouted at the top of her lungs:

“New S-class response! Entering the atmosphere at high altitude! High-altitude camera has captured a woman! Searching for her information in the database!”

“They arrived so quickly?”

Wang Jixuan wasn’t too nervous, but he felt a little strange.

If she was working with Xing Tian, ​​why didn’t she intervene when Xing Tian was initially surrounded? Although the siege was relatively short, she should have shown herself as soon as the fighting began…

If she wasn’t with Xing Tian, ​​then she was also after the Demon-Slaying Dagger.

They anticipated that once the Demon-Slaying Dagger became widespread, it would inevitably attract the attention of the Psionic Capital.

But I really didn’t expect the other side to act so quickly, and to send two powerful S-class opponents right away.

Ling Tong immediately said, “Wang Zheng, don’t worry, we can handle it. Even if the enemy comes at us fiercely, we can hold out for half an hour without any problem.”

Shen Hai corrected on the communication channel: “Half an hour is only enough for two instructors to arrive in this airspace. It will take them at least forty minutes to actually enter the battlefield. If Xing Tian is just an investigator and a vanguard, then the intensity of the subsequent attacks is unimaginable. Tell Ji Xiao to get ready; we need to use his abilities to transfer Wang Zheng.”

Wang Jixuan hurriedly said, “I’m fine now, I can still fight. The wound is just a minor issue, and my mental strength has recovered.”

Peony jumped out of the pit with a look of disgust on her face, holding a broken leg in her hand, trying to keep the broken leg away from her.

Wang Jixuan suddenly asked, “How about letting Mudan wear my X-armor?”

“Yes, but we must apply to higher authorities. The Commander-in-Chief should approve it temporarily.”

Ling Tong acted decisively, picking Wang Jixuan up in her arms and running towards the sixth-floor entrance.

“Let’s go to the sixth floor first; there are too many children here.”

Her voice rang in Wang Jixuan’s ears, as well as in the ears of the commanders of various units:

“Attention all units! A powerful psionicist is about to invade Fortress 76!”

“All units are permitted to fire freely! Eliminate all psionicists who enter radar range!”

“This fortress has activated the Level 1 Psionic Disaster Response Protocol. Gates at all levels of the fortress have been lowered and communications severed. Automatic fire control has been activated across the entire upper city area! We must hold out for the next forty minutes at all costs!”

“Immediately move the fortress governor and commander to the safe house on the eighth floor.”

“yes!”

More responses came through the rapidly expanding communication channels.

Just as Ling Tong, carrying Wang Jixuan, rushed to the sixth floor, Wan Xiaoqi caught up from behind in a supply truck, shouting quickly:

“Sir! We just received a video! It was sent by the other side! The psionicist who fell from the sky will arrive on the ground in three minutes. Her code name is Fire Fusion! She is ranked 19th in the known S-rank! She is skilled in fire-type abilities and once single-handedly destroyed a King-level Blade Beast! She is an old monster from the same era as Xing Tian!”

“We suddenly detected signals from hundreds of psionicists on the periphery! They are all A- or B-level in strength, and there is a fleet of their shuttles underground!”

“They will storm the camp within three minutes of the molten fire reaching the surface!”

Ling Tong remained calm throughout. She hugged Wang Jixuan tightly and jumped into the supply vehicle with the back door open. Wang Jixuan was pulled back by Shen Hai in the back seat.

Wang Jixuan:…Actually, I can walk.

“Play the video first.”

…

Zi.

The projection screen shook slightly, and a ‘young’ woman wearing a red rubber bodysuit appeared on it, hands on her hips, sneering:

“Hello, residents of Fortress 76 in the Medieval Basin.”

“I regret to inform you that half of you will face death within twenty minutes.”

“I can tell you what we’ll be doing here.”

“I will fall from the sky and destroy your surface defenses, and then these powerful, righteous, and lovely great psionic beings that I bring will utterly destroy all your defense systems from the first to the sixth layer.”

“Then, we will arrive at your eighth level, which is your reservoir, right? We will release a virus that can spread rapidly to kill 40 percent of the humans in this fortress. Note that it is at least 40 percent of the humans.”

“If you ask why we are so extreme, actually, it is a form of punishment.”

“The D5 Comprehensive Theater has been constantly provoking our Psionic City, which has seriously affected our positive image in the world.”

“The military ruling faction, led by Fu Jian, is unwilling to embrace progress and unwilling to view the relationship between psionicists and humans from a more open perspective. They wantonly tear up the agreements between us, destroy hundreds of thousands of crystal cores that should have belonged to us, deny our contributions to the fight against the Blade Beasts, and then want to achieve military dictatorship over all of humanity.”

“Our actions today are necessary and essential.”

“Fu Jian and his lackeys even killed dozens of responsible senior officers whom we had painstakingly trained for you, which has seriously crossed our bottom line.”

“That’s why we have these sanctions.”

“Besides, you hid something in this fortress, didn’t you? You’ve been very disobedient. According to the various intelligence we’ve obtained, there’s a secret factory here that produces some strange things. I know you’re probably destroying these things now, but that’s fine.”

“As long as you produce this thing, we will continue to attack.”

“Whether it’s here, there, or your Commander-in-Chief’s headquarters, no one can challenge the Psionic City’s right to interpret the word ‘Psionic,’ even if we pay a heavy price for it.”

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

“Remember, we kill you because you cross the line, not because we are cruel.”

Huo Rong blinked gently.

The projected image flickered slightly and then disappeared.

Inside the supply truck heading to a corner of the sixth floor, the group remained silent.

Ling Tong said, “Arrogance and conceit fit my stereotype of high-level psionicists.”

“They want to destroy this place,” Deep Sea, wearing a suit of battle blades, frowned. “It’s an act of retaliation, and it’s clear they’re targeting the Demon-Slaying Dagger.”

Ling Tong said, “After all, the Demon-Slaying Dagger broke their monopoly on spiritual energy and made them feel panic.”

“There’s one more thing.”

Wang Jixuan let out a soft breath; the wound on his shoulder had begun to heal.

“This video must have been pre-recorded.”

“They are explaining their motives. This is a demonstration and a threat to other integrated theaters of war. The Psionic City, having exhausted all its tricks, can only use the creation of panic to intimidate human society and postpone their reckoning.”

“They’re telling everyone that we’re not just psionicists, we also have a virus capable of wiping out 40 percent of the remaining population… Seriously! Unbelievable!”

“But now, Xing Tian has escaped.”

“We can reasonably assume that Huo Rong already knows that there are awakened spiritual cultivators in Fortress 76, which makes her motivation even stronger.”

Shenhai asked, “Then how about we immediately send out transport planes, pretending to transport the awakened spiritual practitioners, to lure them away?”

“Their original plan was to destroy this place.”

Lingtong said quickly:

“Even if we use this method, at most we can only lure away a small portion of the fighting force. Moreover, it is unknown whether the other party is interested in the awakened spiritual cultivators or whether Xing Tian has already shared the information.”

“What we need to do now is to safely transfer Wang Zheng.”

Shen Hai said firmly, “A few minutes isn’t enough time to get very far!”

Ling Tong immediately retorted, “Then let’s lure them into the upper part of the fortress, fight in the streets, and then use Ji Xiao’s abilities to take Wang Zheng away!”

“Instead of taking him away, let’s fight with all our might!”

The deep sea is filled with firelight:

“Just like we besieged Xing Tian just now, let’s besiege Huo Rong again!”

Wan Xiaoqi, who was driving, reminded, “There are still more than a hundred psionicists outside the camp, all of them are A-level and B-level. This number has exceeded our defense limit. Moreover, most of the special drones (arrays) that Teacher Wang set up were damaged and need to be repaired before they can be used.”

The carriage fell silent.

Wan Xiaoqi lightly applied the brakes, and the supply truck stopped in front of an elevator.

The second and third transport vehicles that were chasing from behind also stopped at the same time, and Ji Xiao, Wu Man, Ji Yale, Zheng Shiduo, Mudan, and a group of special forces members jumped down at the same time.

They thought they were going to fight on the surface.

Shenhai and Lingtong stared at each other, neither willing to give in.

Wang Jixuan slightly raised his hand: “How about… I go and talk to these people? Then, during the negotiations, Mudan will lead me to the wilderness, we’ll pull them out of the range of Fortress 76, and then use a nuclear bomb to take them out?”

“And what about you? Are you going to carry a nuclear bomb too?”

Ling Tong suddenly felt a little excited, but she restrained herself:

“Your value far exceeds mine, the deep sea, and everyone here combined!”

“It was already a mistake on my part that I failed to anticipate their attack on the Demon-Slaying Dagger’s production site. I don’t want to personally destroy humanity’s only hope of fighting back against the Blade Beasts.”

“Wang Zheng, you are this hope!”

Wang Jixuan replied, “No, I am just a cultivator trying to become stronger. You give me protection, and I give you technology. It’s a fair trade.”

“This fair trade is our hope. If you die or are captured by them, then we have nothing left.”

Ling Tong’s chest rose and fell slightly as she took a syringe from Wan Xiaoqi’s hand and stared at Wang Jixuan.

“Sorry, if there has to be a villain, then I’ll be the one.”

“I can live and die with Fortress 76, but you must obey my orders. When we drag the psionicists into the urban warfare, Ji Xiao will take you away from here. I will have Deepsea and Peony meet you on the outside, and all the other centaurs will enter the upper city to ambush you.”

“Ground troops are already spreading outwards, maintaining their strength in the first wave of attack, and then covering your retreat.”

“Once you leave here, we will eliminate this group of psionicists with minimal losses.”

“This is an anesthetic intended for psionicists, I don’t want to use it on you… Wang Zheng, look at me! Please carry out the order!”

Wang Jixuan sighed softly, then smiled slightly:

“Yes, sir.”

Ling Tong breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Wang Jixuan secretly admired him.

She’s quite charming when she’s serious.

However, the current situation is not so easy to resolve. In such a chaotic world, it is like a fool’s dream to cultivate steadily.

If that’s the case, then don’t blame him.

Wang Jixuan suddenly said:

“Ji Xiao, Wu Man, you two come with me.”

“Peony, protect Lingtong closely. If Lingtong tries to use a self-destruct tactic, dismantle her mechanical arm.”

“Shenhai will take command from now on, and Lingtong has lost her composure.”

Ling Tong frowned: “Wang Zheng, junior mechanic, it’s my turn to issue the orders!”

Wang Jixuan knocked on the car door, ducked out, and Mudan rushed up, displaying a commander-in-chief’s order on her arm-mounted projection screen.

“I’m sorry, Major Ling Tong, but my superior officer has the highest command authority here, covering all emergency orders. This is a confidential letter from the Commander-in-Chief!”

Wu Man and Ji Xiao quickly chased after Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan waved his hand without turning his head, and then clenched his fist at the sky.

“You guys play normally, don’t worry about me.”

“Furthermore, humanity’s hope lies in its own will, and my fair trade with the D5 war zone is just one of the paths to realizing this will.”

Let the wind and rain rage, I will ride the wind and ascend to the clouds!
