Chapter 364: 336 Xuan Ming Island Eight

Nanzhou suburbs.

In the dense forest, Marian and Li Chengjiu clumsily clutched the Flying Yi, fleeing toward a distant point.

The Flying Yi dragged the two of them, moving up and down, left and right, occasionally spinning at high speed like a roller coaster.

Li Chengjiu was okay, after all, he was a military Feiyi Master, trained for such situations.

Marian was different; she was only a half-baked user who had borrowed a Flying Yi temporarily. After spinning 720 degrees four times in a row, she ultimately couldn’t hold it in any longer and vomited profusely.

With no backup, over ten aircraft relentlessly pursued them from behind.

Desperation slowly took over both of their consciousnesses.

Neither Marian nor Li Chengjiu could understand why the organization had suddenly abandoned them, why the promised backup had vanished without a trace.

In the pursuing aircraft.

The man known as Left Ear grimaced, pulling down his black mask to reveal a pale, clean-cut face with square features.

He had served as Zhao Enshi’s bodyguard for five years without a single slip.

With one more year to go, he could have garnered enough merit to enter the core of the Zhao Family—the Watosi Fortress.

But he hadn’t expected that at this critical moment, he would be thrown into chaos by this cursed group of assassins!

They never imagined that Zhao Enshi, both a Feiyi Master and a Reinforced Human, could still be taken down by a surprise attack, leaving him critically injured.

This was also a fatal flaw of Feiyi Masters.

No matter how strong their Flying Yi was, or how tough their protective force field, in an utterly unguarded state,

once a Feiyi Master was stabbed in a vital spot, they were not much different from any common Reinforced Human with genetic enhancement.

The biggest problem for genetically enhanced individuals was that, like ordinary people, their strength was capped at one ton, and they could get hurt even in an ordinary car accident.

That was their fatal flaw.

The fully modified Reinforced Humans from White Star were different. Not everyone was content with having only their "brain flower" immersed in life-sustaining nutrient liquid and hidden away.

Without a body, there is no pleasure, no majority of desires. Everything gradually becomes cold and boring, until in the end, a philosophical tendency for self-destruction emerges.

This is almost the universal dread among all fully modified beings.

A mental fatal affliction.

"Catch up!! Treasure Bead has already made their move to the front. This time, we must redeem ourselves; otherwise, our future prospects will all go down the drain!" Left Ear snapped back to reality, his black eyes fixed intently on the two Flying Yis weaving in and out in the distance.

Marian and Li Chengjiu dangled behind the Flying Yi like two fish, their legs flailing about, occasionally slamming into tree trunks, causing wide scrapes.

Zip!

Suddenly, a dazzling red light rose from the forest floor ahead.

"Black Wing Style · Ninth Heaven Movement..."

The red light surged like a waterfall flowing upward, rising into the sky.

It blocked the inevitable path of Marian and Li Chengjiu.

The two tried to swerve around it, but the Flying Yi, as if attracted by a magnet to iron, unconsciously flew toward the red waterfall.

The two were so frightened that they quickly let go, hit the ground, rolled to dissipate the force, and stood firm.

From a fall of more than ten meters high, despite their skill and physical strength, they felt a slight tightness in their chests.

At this moment, within the dense forest, the red waterfall gently faded, disappeared, revealing a long strip of cleared land.

It was an area that had just been cleared by that one strike.

The trees, along with the underbrush, had all been shattered, still faintly emitting smoke.

Treasure Bead, one of Zhao Enshi’s guards, stood with his people, blocking the way ahead.

Contrary to expectations, standing in front of Treasure Bead was another person.

A woman in military uniform with a pale, browless face and black hair that reached her waist.

"Only two? Where are the rest?" the woman asked coldly as she looked at Treasure Bead.

"The other two escaped in different directions; we’ve arranged for people to track them, but the key is these two," Treasure Bead replied gravely.

"A bunch of useless trash," the woman stated indifferently.

The Zhao Family Head guarded Yi Country’s three near-orbit fortresses. She had intended to take office at one of the fortresses but was suddenly given a task to rescue Zhao Enshi.

This unexpected situation disrupted her plans, but since Zhao Enshi was one of the main successors of the main line, to not come without notice was one thing, but to still not show up after being informed would be to betray the entire Zhao Family front.

As a high-ranking Feiyi Master officer who had risen step by step with the support of the Zhao Family, she, Gong Yueling, had put in great effort to earn this opportunity.

She absolutely, absolutely would not allow any mishaps.

"The spaceship has half an hour before takeoff. It will take me ten minutes to get back, so we only have twenty minutes," the woman said.

"That’s enough. Colonel Gong, as long as these two are captured, we should be able to trace back to their assassin organization!" Treasure Bead spoke in a low voice.

Marian and Li Chengjiu knelt on the ground, both showing traces of despair on their faces.

With enemies ahead and pursuers behind, they were in a dire situation and had lost the Flying Yi...

"Split up and run..." Marian said softly.

"What if we really can’t escape?" Li Chengjiu asked.

"...." Marian fell silent.

"What about this then?" Li Chengjiu’s eyes flashed with a ruthless glint as she drew a small, black, pineapple-shaped metal block from her inner pocket.

"...!!?" Marian’s pupils shrank, "You... you were ready for this?!"

It was a sensory bomb, the T10.

A devastating weapon capable of instantly blowing up all living beings within a twenty-meter radius.

"I’m different from you," Li Chengjiu gritted her teeth as she watched the approaching black-armored soldiers, a sense of clarity emerging in her eyes.

"I’m a selfish bastard with a short fuse. If I’m going to die after being caught without a fight....that’s not my style," she inhaled deeply and stood up.

Marian remained silent.
