Chapter 384: Using 351 Three

The transparent edge of the wind pressure.

The corridor twisted, the air sucked away.

As Li Chengyi shouted the last syllable, the Flower Language Technique activated, and a purple light shone on the back of his hand.

Invisible ripples expanded around him at an incomprehensible speed and in a manner that defied understanding.

Whoosh...

The wind stopped.

The sword of the Balance Angel lost its glow.

Boom.

It planted its legs firmly into the ground, creating two holes, and then stood motionless.

Success!!!

Li Chengyi was overjoyed, but his happiness was short-lived as the purple light on his hand started flickering rapidly, dimming.

’Too fast! I can’t control it!’

He understood that the power of the Flower Language Technique largely depended on the consumption of physical or mental strength.

He was able to control those skeletons because they were too weak, so the cost was minimal.

But the Balance Angel before him was clearly much stronger.

"Get upstairs and cut down anyone in the way! Otherwise, I’ll cut you down!"

He bellowed urgently.

The Balance Angel turned and charged out, rushing toward the upper floors.

Li Chengyi didn’t even glance at the other skeletons, instead, he rushed up immediately.

By the time the purple light on the back of his hand lasted for three seconds, it had already dimmed by half.

’At most five more seconds!’

He leaped a few steps, black metal wings emerged on his back, and with a gentle flap, he flew towards the top floor.

Upon reaching the top floor,

the Balance Angel had already raised its heavy sword high, with countless white dots gathering on its blade, charging towards the towering figure of the Silent Angel.

There were only 4 seconds left before the purple light went out!

Li Chengyi watched the trembling figure of the Silent Angel intently.

seconds!

The heavy sword of the Balance Angel, bathed in white light, crossed a distance of over twenty meters and slashed diagonally at the waist.

seconds!

Li Chengyi turned and ran.

He knew that if he didn’t run now, soon it would be his turn to be beaten up by the two angels.

second.

Thunderous boom!!!!

A terrifying explosion erupted on the rooftop.

The sound of thunder came along with deafening sonic booms, sending Li Chengyi flying far away.

With his physical condition, even the sonic waves caused his eardrums to sting and his head to buzz.

One could only imagine the terrifying force of the collision.

The fearsome impact was carried by the airflow, hitting him hard in the back, blowing him down from the stairwell to the second floor, crashing into a mural.

Crack... the mural cracked.

Simultaneously,

Li Chengyi felt as if he had been awake for two days straight, tired, fatigued, and his vision blurred.

This was a clear sign of Consciousness Power exhaustion.

’...As expected... it’s my own Consciousness Power that’s being drained... the opponent’s physique is too strong... just a few seconds of control was unsustainable...’

Crackle.

Li Chengyi pulled himself off the wall and then rushed down the stairs.

Right now, his priority wasn’t to keep fighting, but to find a place to rest and recover. With the Radiance Field, his recovery rate would be far faster than an ordinary person’s.

Struggling to his feet, he used Shadow Flash, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the juncture between the second and first floors.

All around the floor were the scattered remains of the minions that had just been dismantled.

Clearly, they all had fallen from the armored humanoids and the Skeleton Mages during the fight.

All together, they had barely managed to withstand one stroke of the Balance Angel’s sword.

Thump.

Suddenly, a dull thud came from the third-floor stairwell.

Standing at the stairwell, Li Chengyi turned his head toward the direction of the sound.

He was somewhat curious to know who was stronger between the Balance Angel and the Silent Angel.

In his line of sight,

at the third-floor staircase, a figure clad in heavy armor slowly stepped down.

Central Blue Ocean Territory.

A massive whirlpool continuously accelerated, sinking inwards.

In its very center, at the deepest point, the seawater formed a cylindrical phenomenon hundreds of meters deep.

Rumble...

Rumbles of thunder could be heard in the sky. Dark clouds hung low, and the atmospheric pressure was heavy.

It seemed as if a significant event was about to happen between heaven and earth.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, from the edges of the whirlpool, a blue-black airship emerged from the water and flew into the distance.

The airship glided over a stirred wave, gained altitude, and headed towards the most powerful empire on Earth-Moon—Yi Country.

Inside the airship,

Barton, Karan, Angeal, and Yang Chengxi sat with somber expressions in their chairs, secured by seat belts, watching the rapidly changing seascape ahead.

"Do you believe what the people of Star Lake said?" Yang Chengxi asked.

"Half of it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have let us go so easily," Karan replied. "It’s clear they now lack the strength to stop the Shadow Dragon’s continued assault. So, they hope we will draw it away."

"It’s an open conspiracy. Even if we guess their plans, it’s of no use," Barton spoke in a deep voice.

"If the Shadow Dragon incident is real, then staying behind means dying with Star Lake. If we don’t stay but head to Yi Country, there is still some hope to be seen. At least Yi Country, as the strongest empire of the Earth-Moon system, must have a way to counter the Shadow Dragon."

"We should contact headquarters immediately, report the situation through the Council Committee and to Yi Country, and then have them prepare," Karan reminded.

"Indeed, I’ll make the contact," Angeal volunteered to take on the task.

"Do you guys think we can survive?" Yang Chengxi thought back to the black creature he had seen before and felt a chill in his heart.

That was a monster that could withstand multiple Grade Eight Reinforced Humans with just its flesh and blood alone.

And still, it had the upper hand against those Grade Eight individuals.

"We will... we definitely will!" Barton responded earnestly.

The aircraft accelerated with a swing of its tail, flying toward the coastline of Yi Country.

And behind them.

Deep underground.

The massive Xuan Ming Island was moving rapidly, making its way toward other mantle positions.

Like a dark hand, the island’s surface was mostly ruined, with a large number of newly emerged Clones quickly clearing the rubble and debris, tossing it into newly-appeared giant Furnace Trucks.

The Furnace Trucks were like freight trucks, but instead of carrying carriages, they bore large, high-heat dissolving pools at the back.

The pools glowed bright red, capable of rapidly dissolving all kinds of building materials thrown into them.

Molten material continuously flowed out from beneath the Furnace Trucks, pouring into a straight trench.

The trench led to a temporary processing plant capable of rebuilding the solution into new modules, reconstructing the previous structures.

At this time, the higher-ups of Star Lake had once again returned to the center of the island.

Kong He, ranked first. Arya, inheriting the second position of Da Huoxing.

Third-ranked Lister Monen of the Great Transverse Star.

Fifth-ranked Hong Yu of the Great Rushing Star.

All the major stars of the island were gathered here.

Hong Yu had previously been smashed into the magma outside by the Shadow Dragon. Now his modified body was battered and torn, with obvious signs of distortion and scorch marks, looking quite wretched.

"Is the situation really that serious? So serious that we need to change our location so quickly?" he asked, somewhat in disbelief.

"It’s very serious," Kong He said gravely. She was once the head of the Kong family in Yi Country, with immense talent, but unfortunately, the Kong family was not among the top Great Nobles of Yi Country. After losing a family struggle, the Kong family was destroyed, forcing her to flee and join Star Lake and enter underground warfare.

"The Shadow Dragon is currently deterred by the Smoke Splitter Light Cannon we fired earlier. Therefore, it’s hiding and not showing itself, but if it realizes that we can’t fire the second Smoke Splitter Light Cannon in a short period, it’s inevitable that Xuan Ming Island will encounter a disaster."

"What about the Blind Spot entrance? My genetic lab here is at a critical phase... Didn’t those people lead the Shadow Dragon towards Yi Country? I don’t think the Shadow Dragon dares to show up in person. Even if it does, now that we are all here, even without the Smoke Splitter Light Cannon, we could still repel it with that," Great Rushing Star Hong Yu obviously did not want to leave.

"I can’t take that gamble," Kong He said somberly.

She turned to look at Hong Yu.

"I’m the one in charge of compiling the Black Sea Creature Atlas; you probably aren’t aware that the Shadow Dragon has another piece of information that is more concealed than what you have seen," she said.

"What is it?"

Everyone’s heart tightened as they turned to look at her.

"Swarming," Kong He said slowly.

City of the Death Angels.

Clear footsteps followed one after another.

Descending from the third-floor staircase was the Balance Angel!

It seemed completely unharmed, quietly stepping down the stairs. Its Armor was still intact, only the greatsword was missing.

Li Chengyi’s gaze sharpened; it was actually unscathed!?

But soon, he focused, noticing the trail of white ash footprints left behind by the Balance Angel.

With every step down the stairs, the Balance Angel’s body continued to crumble into a fine white ash, like flour, scattering on the ground.

Rustle.

Before the Balance Angel could return to its place, its entire body, along with the armor and helmet, all crumbled and collapsed.

In absolute silence.

It had turned entirely into a heap of white ash, sliding down the steps, staining the ground with a white streak.

"....."

Li Chengyi paused in his tracks and then hastened his pace, quickly returning to the edge of the Balance Angel’s ashes.

He looked around quickly and took off his coat, gathering all the white ash from the ground as best he could into the coat, securing it.

The area around him was quiet, with no angels, no skeletons, nothing at all.

Only he stood alone on the staircase leading to the third floor.

Sigh.

He simply sat on the stairs, looking out at the grey sky from the balcony.

The wind blew in from the balcony, slightly moving his hair.

’The Whispering Ring isn’t here either.’

He decided not to go any further up and just sat there, releasing the Radiance Field to cover his entire body, accelerating recovery.

Though the Radiance Field couldn’t restore Consciousness Power, being in the best physical condition helped recovery.

’Looks like I won’t be able to get out for a while.’

Taking advantage of the temporary safety, Li Chengyi took out the book that the Skeleton Mage had just given him.

He flipped open the pages.

’Yserine.’

He began calling for the assistant AI.

After calling for more than ten seconds.

The familiar voice came through again.

’Brother, what is it?’

’Can you teach me this Xadelama language?’ he asked.

’I can. I can transmit a semantic correspondence table dictionary directly to you, voice can be added later, shall we start with reading comprehension first?’ Yserine understood Li Chengyi’s needs.

’Okay.’

Soon, a series of photographic-like semantic correspondence tables was sent to Li Chengyi.

All were translations from Xadelama language to Yi Country text.

Clearly, Yserine had made them specifically for Li Chengyi.
