48: Chapter 48 The Crimson Devil Galloping Through the Night Sky

Above the Ruin Market.

Neon lights shimmered.

At the Floating Highway.

Over a dozen cool-looking super private floating cars roared their engines, lined up like beasts about to break free from their leashes; the scorching and intense air currents almost distorted the space.

A racing competition was taking place here.

Theoretically speaking.

The Floating Highway was a public transportation space, and street racing was strictly prohibited by law, especially "Fast and Furious" style racing competitions.

However...

In the Lower City.

Laws were only useful against the poor.

And those who could own luxury super private floating cars were clearly not poor, nor could they even be people from the Lower City.

Because luxury super private floating cars...

...could only be purchased in the Upper City.

If sold in the Lower City...

...it would be smuggling.

And that would get you shot.

At this moment.

The dozen or so luxury private floating cars were as dazzling as stars, their roaring engines even drowning out the noisy chatter in the Ruin Market.

People looked up one after another.

They craned their necks to watch.

Their eyes couldn't help but reveal expressions of envy and admiration.

"Tsk tsk, those are super private floating cars. If I could ever buy one in the Upper City, my life would be complete."

"Heh, you're dreaming. Even if you had the money, as a person from the Lower City, you wouldn't be qualified to buy a super private floating car at a 4S dealership in the Upper City. Believe it or not, you wouldn't even be able to get through the door."

"These Young Masters from the Upper City are so idle. They come here every night to rev their engines like thunder. How are we supposed to do business!"

"Shh! Keep it down! People from the Upper City are precious. How can we lowly commoners from the Lower City gossip about them?"

"Sigh, looks like we'll have to take a detour later. This Floating Highway has been taken over by the Upper City people. Anyone who tries to pass through will definitely run into trouble."

Although many were envious.

...more were complaining.

After all.

...the engine noise of the super private floating cars was too loud.

Once they started racing...

...it was like rolling thunder.

And people in the Lower City went to bed early.

After all, they had to wake up early for work the next day.

Even in the relatively prosperous Ruin Market, once it was time for bed, there were very few people around.

The shopkeepers were also Lower City people and needed to close up and rest.

Who could stand the sound of engines blasting through the sky late at night?

But.

...even if they had complaints...

...they didn't dare speak them.

If you dared to raise a problem, you would become the "problem" that was about to be solved.

"Get ready!"

"Go!"

As the holographic countdown shimmering with neon colors flashed in the sky...

...over a dozen super private floating cars suddenly erupted with an intense roar like a clap of thunder, making the sky tremble.

Immediately after...

...trailing jet exhausts...

...they all shot forward together!

"Vroom!!!!!"

However.

...these super private floating cars hadn't raced very far yet.

Suddenly...

...a crimson car...

...actually came racing up from behind these dozen or so vehicles.

Carrying a roar like a Dragon's cry...

...in just the blink of an eye...

...as if overtaking a baby bus, it surpassed all dozen super private floating cars in an instant, leaving them far behind.

"What?!"

Everyone who saw this scene...

...was immediately shocked.

Their mouths hung open.

Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Including the Upper City Young Masters who were passionately racing in those dozen or so private floating cars.

"Wha..."

"What's going on?"

"What was that just now?"

"Was it a car?"

"No!"

"How could there possibly be a car in the mere Lower City faster than a luxury super private floating car?"

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

The top-tier, limited-edition super cars with special titles were extremely rare, and to racers, every single one was a household name.

And that car just now, though only a glimpse, had a unique crimson color and mysterious patterns that didn't belong to any titled limited-edition super car.

In fact, even among the standard super private floating cars produced by Upper City automobile companies, there was no such model.

"Chase it!"

"Catch up to that crimson car!"

"Damn it! This must be a smuggled car, and it's been modified to hide its identity! Only filthy Lower City people who aren't qualified to buy super cars would do something so illegal! They're just asking for death!"

"Right! Catch the driver of that car, shoot him, and then the car will be ours!"

Inside the dozen or so super floating cars, the Upper City Young Masters stomped on their accelerators, trying to push the horsepower to the max, even using super-acceleration black technology.

However, they soon fell into despair.

Even when they reached their top speeds...

...that crimson car...

...still left them far behind!

And...

...what made them tremble even more...

...was that the car's engine sound seemed to contain a terrifying pressure.

Under this pressure, the engines inside their cars actually began to tremble uncontrollably, and even showed signs of Dragon-type Behemoth heart segregation, causing the engines to collapse!

"Not good! There's something strange about this car!"

"This isn't a car, this is clearly a devil! A Crimson Devil!"

"Stop! We need to stop immediately!"

"Boom!!"

A super floating car suddenly exploded out of control.

The dozen or so surrounding super floating cars either tried to stop urgently or tried to swerve to avoid it, but the explosion was too fast and violent, and they were still affected.

Before long, they crashed into each other and exploded one by one.

Boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

In an instant...

...the fire from the explosions was brilliant and intense.

Like dazzling fireworks blooming in the night sky.

...

"Hmm?"

"Did something just try to chase me?"

Qin Feng looked in the rearview mirror with some doubt.

However...

...his speed was simply too fast.

In just those few seconds...

...there was no longer any movement behind him.

Only the deep night...

...with some flashes that looked like fireworks.

Qin Feng soon stopped caring.

He had just conducted an experiment.

If it were said that before Fusion with that Dragon Pearl, which was suspected to be a Dragon Acupoint, his "crimson magic dragon" private car was only equivalent to an ordinary luxury super private floating car...

...then after Fusion with the Dragon Pearl...

...and using his own Acupoints...

...to resonate with the engine...

...making the entire car like his own body and limbs, allowing for more precise control...

...this "crimson magic dragon" should now be comparable to Lu Yunsong's limited-edition "flying demon leopard."

Of course...

...Qin Feng wasn't sure of the specifics yet.

After all, he had never raced against Lu Yunsong.

And...

...whether he could perfectly unleash the performance and speed of the "crimson magic dragon" also depended on the quality of the energy source added.

The car's energy System wasn't complicated, let alone precious; it just needed good energy. Whether it was "beast blood oil" processed from Dragon-type Behemoth blood or "flesh and blood batteries," both could be used as long as they were rich in energy.

"With this 'crimson magic dragon', I'll feel much more at ease if I have to go on the run in the future, even if I leave Canglang City."

"If I really encounter a life-threatening danger, I could even use titan blood crystals as an energy source. With the energy quality of titan blood crystals, I should definitely be able to push the speed and performance beyond its normal specs, right?"

With a thought, Qin Feng...

...drove the car to a height of a thousand meters.

After making sure no other cars were passing by...

...and that there was no high-altitude surveillance...

...he then focused his mind...

...to manipulate the transformation of the car's overall appearance.

The principle of transformation was actually quite simple. The "magic dragons roar" engine inside the car was half-mechanical and half-flesh. The flesh of that mysterious Dragon-type Behemoth heart could spread and extend, Fusion into the entire car frame and growing extra flesh tissue, causing the car's frame to expand and deform.

After the transformation...

...there would definitely be an impact on speed.

However...

...Qin Feng didn't need to race during his daily commute.

"Crack! Crack!"

The sudden sound of bones rubbing and twisting rang out.

Soon...

...the "crimson magic dragon," which originally looked like a sports car with a low, wide front and a streamlined body, suddenly expanded into a rugged frame.

The crimson paint with Dragon scale textures flowing on the surface also faded away, turning into a common dark red tone.

At first glance...

...it looked just like an extremely ordinary compact SUV.

Very unremarkable.

It didn't attract any attention.

"Excellent. Now I can use this 'crimson magic dragon' for my daily commute without any worries."

Seeing this, Qin Feng...

...nodded in satisfaction.

He then drove into a normal Floating Highway...

...leisurely heading toward Raccoon Apartments at a normal speed.
