206: Chapter 206 Windrunner

Chen Xi smiled and punched Lei Gang on the shoulder.

"Chen Xi."

Wang Shan pushed up his glasses and handed over a box of potions:

"This is the latest 【High-Concentration Recovery Potion】 I developed. As long as you have a breath left, it can keep you alive. Places like the Imperial Capital... the waters are deep, keep it for self-defense."

"Thanks."

Chen Xi accepted it solemnly.

"Woo—!!"

The train's whistle sounded, spraying white steam.

"Let's board!"

Chen Xi took one last look at this land where he had shed blood, then turned and led the three women onto the train.

The doors slowly closed.

With a slight vibration, the floating train slowly ascended, blue flames erupted from its tail, and its speed soared instantly.

The scenery outside the window retreated rapidly, and the towering walls of Zhennan Pass gradually turned into a black line.

The interior of the carriage was extremely luxurious.

Leather sofas, holographic projections, and even a dedicated bar counter.

This special train was prepared exclusively for the champion teams of each district, so the treatment was naturally top-tier.

Li Murou and Ye Fei were excitedly pressed against the window, watching the sea of clouds and mountains passing below.

Su Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, closed her eyes to rest, adjusting the power of thunder within her body.

Chen Xi sat by the window, toying with that microchip in his hand, his gaze deep as he looked towards the north.

There, dark clouds gathered.

It was as if an invisible hand was stirring up the wind and clouds.

"The Imperial Capital..."

Chen Xi whispered:

"The Tower of Heaven..."

"Whether you are god or demon, this time, I will personally unveil your mask."

The train whistled, like a sharp sword, piercing into the unknown mist.

The floating train sped above the clouds at an altitude of ten thousand meters, its speed having broken the sound barrier, yet the interior of the carriage was so stable that even the red wine in the glass did not ripple.

Outside the window was an endless sea of clouds, shimmering with golden edges under the sunlight, breathtakingly beautiful.

"This is just too comfortable~"

Li Murou lay comfortably on the massage chair, holding a glass of iced juice, letting out a satisfied sigh:

"If only we could sit like this forever, all this fighting and killing is just too exhausting."

Chen Xi, sitting opposite her, was reading a document about the distribution of forces in the Imperial Capital. He smiled upon hearing this:

"Enjoyment is for the dead. The living must always be prepared for battle."

"Oh, Captain, don't be such a killjoy."

Ye Fei, who was feeding snacks to Little Si in her arms, said with a smile:

"This is the military's special train, and we're at an altitude of ten thousand meters. Where would enemies come from? Even flying ferocious beasts couldn't keep up with the speed of this train."

"Is that so?"

Chen Xi did not refute, but narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just a moment ago.

His extremely sharp mental power had captured a trace of extremely faint, yet malicious killing intent.

That killing intent did not come from inside the carriage.

But from... outside the window!

"Something's wrong."

Chen Xi abruptly put down the document, stood up, and shouted sternly:

"All units, alert!!"

"Huh?"

The three women hadn't reacted yet.

Just then.

"Bang!!!"

A dull, loud noise suddenly exploded on the roof of the carriage!

The entire high-speed train seemed to have been slapped hard by a giant hand, shaking violently.

The red wine glasses on the table shattered into pieces, and the red liquid spilled all over the floor, looking just like fresh blood.

"Enemy attack?!"

Su Xiaoxiao reacted the fastest; her magic staff appeared in her hand instantly, wreathed in lightning.

"It's up there!"

Chen Xi pointed at the roof, his face gloomy.

Through the panoramic skylight, everyone saw a horrifying scene.

On top of the train, which was traveling at over 1,000 kilometers per hour, a person was actually standing there!

It was a figure wrapped in cyan, streamlined battle armor, with a pair of huge mechanical wings on its back, firmly attached to the roof of the train like a maggot on a bone.

In its hand, it held a high-speed rotating plasma cutting blade, frantically cutting through the alloy armor of the carriage roof!

"Zzzzz—"

Sparks flew everywhere.

The half-meter-thick armor was as fragile as tofu under its blade, and it looked like it was about to be cut through!

"It's an assassin from the Black-Clothed Organization!"

Ye Fei exclaimed:

"They actually dare to hijack a military train?!"

"What is there that they wouldn't dare to do?"

Chen Xi snorted coldly:

"It seems our previous actions were too big and completely pissed them off. They've come to silence us!"

"Boom!"

The roof was finally cut open, creating a large hole.

Violent airflow instantly poured into the carriage, sending the surrounding decorations flying wildly.

The cyan-armored person jumped in through the hole and landed lightly in the aisle.

He slowly raised his head; on his faceplate, there was only a single eye-shaped sensor, flickering with cold red light.

"Target confirmed: Nirvana Battle Team."

"Executing order: High-altitude death."

The voice carried not a hint of emotion, as if it were merely reading out a death warrant.

"Lv.70... Wind-element assassin?"

Chen Xi instantly activated 【Card Affinity Reflection】 to see through the opponent's details.

【Codename: Wind Walker】

【Level: Lv.70】

【Class: Sky Hunter】

【Characteristics: Ultimate Speed, Wind Control, High-Altitude Combat Bonus 200%】

"Level 70?!"

Li Murou's face went pale.

On the ground, they might still be able to fight with teamwork.

But this is an altitude of ten thousand meters!

Once the train is destroyed, except for the flying Su Xiaoxiao, everyone else would be smashed to pieces if they fell!

"We can't fight here! It will destroy the train!"

Chen Xi made a judgment instantly.

The space here is too small; if he summoned 【Miracle Mecha: Xing Tian】, its massive weight and size would directly crush the train.

He had to force him out!

"Xiao Xiao! Get him out!"

"Understood!"

Cold light flashed in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes, and her figure disappeared instantly.

【Void: Thunder Cut】!

She appeared behind Wind Walker and slashed down.

"Too slow."

Wind Walker sneered, and the mechanical wings behind him flapped violently.

"Whoosh—"

A terrifying hurricane generated out of thin air, directly blowing Su Xiaoxiao away, causing her to crash heavily against the carriage wall.

In this high-altitude environment, a Wind-element class is simply a god!

"Since you are in such a rush to die, I'll send you on your way!"

Wind Walker spread his hands, and countless cyan wind blades cut frantically within the narrow carriage.

"【Storm Strangling】!"

"Clang, clang, clang!"

The tables and chairs in the carriage instantly turned into debris.

As everyone was about to be dismembered by the wind blades.

"Gravity!"

Chen Xi shouted, throwing out the card he had already held in his hand.

"【Gravity Field: Hundred-Fold】!"

Hum!

A terrifying gravity instantly pressed down on Wind Walker.

His originally light figure sank abruptly, his knees bent, and he almost fell to his knees.

Those wind blades also lost their accuracy and fell to the ground one after another.

"Now! Ye Fei!"

Chen Xi roared.

"Little Si! Fusion!"

Ye Fei did not hesitate and activated the 【Beast Soul Fusion Card】 she had just obtained.

"Awoo—"

A giant wolf phantom instantly merged into her body.

Ye Fei's body grew taller, sharp wolf claws and wolf ears grew out, and her whole body exuded a wild aura.

She pounced forward, ignoring the cutting of the wind blades, and hugged Wind Walker's waist tightly!

"Get... out!!"
