Chapter 463: Chapter 326: Infiltration

The howling winds by Li Yi’s ears made him squint slightly as he was being swept up in the flight, encased in Bai Sinan’s spiritual power.

Had he not been an Evolver with an exceptional physical constitution, a normal person would have certainly perished without any protection at this high speed.

"Isn’t flying over there so ostentatiously just asking to get shot down by a cannon? The enemy’s defenses must have anti-air weapons," someone couldn’t help but ask.

"Their technology might be advanced, but it has its shortcomings. They can easily detect planes, fighter jets, and spacecraft, but it’s very hard for them to detect Cultivators unless we get very close. That’s when their powerful genetic warriors can discover us," Bai Sinan explained, reassuring the group.

"So that’s how it is," the crowd realized with enlightenment.

Bai Sinan added, "However, we can’t be wholly careless. Their technology is always updating; who knows if they’ll be able to detect Cultivators in the future. But for now, we are safe."

"Alright, everyone get ready, we’re approaching the first line of defense."

As he finished speaking, the clouds before their eyes surprisingly held aloft circular structures resembling donuts, with powerful genetic warriors seated inside the transparent glass.

Bai Sinan was decisive. As he raised his hand, light gathered around him. This light transformed into ravenous wolves, scattering in the clouds and then charging and howling towards those structures in the sky.

Boom!

Merely a single radiant hungry wolf in attack could demolish an aerial structure, bursting into splendid fireworks.

"Enemy attack."

An urgent signal went out, and a disheveled figure burst out from the exploding structure. This genetic warrior, clad in battle armor and hovering in the air, angrily wielded a long saber, caught off guard by the sudden attack tonight. It was only when Bai Sinan reached him that he reacted.

"A level 6 genetic warrior? Die," Bai Sinan roared. The energy around him trembled, propelling his companions away in an instant. They had successfully crossed the first line of defense and were now flying towards the second; simultaneously, he turned into a streak of white light and instantly charged at the level 6 genetic warrior.

The white light was as fast as lightning and unavoidable.

The level 6 genetic warrior sensed danger, swiping his long saber through the air. Genetic abilities unleashed, lightning flashed, and thunder roared, with all electricity converging into the most terrifying blade edge.

He struck with his strongest attack, intending to slay Bai Sinan on the spot.

"Too weak, White Rainbow Piercing the Sun." Bai Sinan unleashed a stunning strike. Unrivaled, he pierced through that thunderous blade edge and struck the level 6 genetic warrior.

Boom!

With the eruption of energy, the level 6 genetic warrior was overpowered, and with a cry of despair, his head exploded, and his battle armor offered no protection. He died on the spot.

However, the commotion naturally attracted the attention of others.

From the floating structures in the sky, figures flew out—four level 6 genetic warriors appeared, shocked and frightened at the sight of a comrade killed, seemingly not expecting the invading enemy to be so powerful.

"It’s the strong ones from the Spirit Power Realm of Sky Tipping World."

"Damn it, Bei Bing was defeated and killed in one blow? His battle armor was shattered. How can they be so strong when they are supposed to be at the same level as us?"

"Be cautious, the people from their world enjoy practicing techniques from other worlds. The higher the realm, the more obvious the difference in power even within the same level. Against their Spiritual Realm and Soul Realm, our genetic warriors can triumph with the power of the technological battle armor. But once it comes to the Spirit Power Realm, their potential is fully unleashed, and the armor cannot bridge the gap anymore. Unite and be on your guard."

Bai Sinan let out a cold laugh as he stepped through the air, "It seems you understand quite a bit about Evolvers. Only now do you realize the terror of cultivating other worlds’ techniques? But it’s too late. Solely believing in the power of technology and genes is destined to be a short journey. Only by learning from others and integrating various strengths can one truly be invincible. And this is the meaning of evolution."

"You’ve already missed your chance to correct yourselves, and your future is bound to fall."

"Come fight."

Bai Sinan charged again, unfazed by the joint force of the four level 6 genetic warriors.

And the genetic warriors also roared as they surged to envelop him.

In the sky, energies exploded, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and flames surged—a fierce battle broke out.

While Bai Sinan attracted the enemy’s attention with such a disturbance,

Li Yi and Xia Xiaozhong were being swept away by a force toward a predetermined direction, unable to change their course—this was all arranged by Bai Sinan. However, as time passed, the force carrying them was rapidly weakening. As they passed the second line of defense, the power Bai Sinan provided had run out.

The two plummeted from mid-air before steadying themselves upon landing on the ground.

"Go."

Xia Xiaozhong spoke softly, then quickly dashed towards the final line of defense.

Li Yi did not hesitate to follow.

Along the way, the two encountered no enemies, while sounds of combat came from afar; it seemed that other teammates had been discovered by the enemy and had no choice but to engage.

It appeared Bai Sinan hadn’t lied; he had indeed found a relatively safe route, having taken special care of Li Yi, but that was as far as his help extended.

From here on out, Li Yi and Xia Xiaozhong would have to deal with any dangers themselves.

Xia Xiaozhong moved with immense speed, her agility akin to that of an extraordinary creature; with a single leap, she could cover dozens of meters, almost as if she was flying, and with minimal noise, which showed her exceptional control over her strength.

Li Yi, on the other hand, was enveloped by Gang Qi as he flew close to the ground, silently.

"You can actually fly," Xia Xiaozhong said with slight surprise.

To develop flying ability while in the Spiritual Realm was no simple feat.

"It’s not really flying, strictly speaking," Li Yi whispered back. "But now is not the time to focus on that. Bai Sinan mentioned when we were at the base that among the three defense lines, the first two are the most secure, while the last one is the loosest. However, that’s for someone in the Spirit Power Realm like him; for us, any defense line could be deadly."

"You’re right," Xia Xiaozhong agreed.

The pair continued to advance.

At this time, they arrived at the third defense line.

The area was brightly lit, with genetic warriors patrolling back and forth. In addition, many weapons were set up along the defense line, which had almost no blind spots. The only way past it now seemed to be a head-on assault.

"Once we break into the third defense line, we split up and go our separate ways," said Xia Xiaozhong.

Li Yi’s vertical pupils glowed faintly in the dark night. After a quick assessment, he pointed in a direction: "Charge from there. The most we’ll encounter is a patrolling team of warriors."

"Okay."

Xia Xiaozhong took a glance and felt there was no problem.

Without any hesitation, the two dashed toward that direction at top speed.

The distance closed in, but the opponents seemed to have relaxed their vigilance and did not detect them immediately. By the time the pair got within about a hundred meters of the defense line, a patrolling genetic warrior finally noticed them. However, it was too late.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of an arrow was launched; Xia Xiaozhong made her move. The leader of the patrol, a level-five genetic warrior, reacted in time, trying to dodge instinctively, but was still hit by the arrow. His armor was easily torn open with a gash, one shoulder pierced through, nailing him directly to the ground.

"Enemy attack!"

The level-five genetic warrior bellowed, but instead of focusing on his injuries, he forced himself up without any intent to flee or shrink back. Instead, he charged towards Xia Xiaozhong, seemingly wanting to hold her back while waiting for reinforcements.

"Li Yi, hold him off for me."

Xia Xiaozhong nocked another arrow, but this time, instead of using a physical one, she gathered the cosmic energy within her body to form a glowing energy arrow, conjuring it out of thin air. The energy arrow radiated a dangerous aura; a direct hit would be fatal.

But to ensure a hundred-percent hit rate, she needed Li Yi’s assistance.

"I understand."

Li Yi manipulated Gang Qi, flying over immediately; the shackles on his body unlocked. With Guiding Skill invoked and Fist Gang concentrating, entwined with the silver glow, his momentum soared to its peak.

"Kill!"

He roared as he launched his attack.

"Court death."

Despite being injured, the level-five genetic warrior was furious to see an enemy from the Spiritual Realm daring to attack him and immediately used his powerful strength to deliver a heavy kick, simple yet perfectly aligned with the direction of the human body’s natural force.

This was a basic combat technique practiced by the genetic warriors of the Sixth World, scientifically calculated so that every punch and kick could unleash a genetic warrior’s full potential, akin to technique.

Boom!

However, upon impact, the warrior’s face suddenly changed color; his opponent’s outbreak of power was no less than his own.

Both warriors couldn’t help but retreat, evenly matched in their clash.

Trouble!

But the next moment, the genetic warrior’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he saw a glowing arrow heading straight for him.

Whoosh!

The arrow pierced through his brain in an instant, even taking out another level-four genetic warrior behind him simultaneously.

A double kill with one arrow; it was obvious Xia Xiaozhong’s archery was far from simple.

Taking advantage of the enemy’s panic caused by their leader’s death, Li Yi and Xia Xiaozhong burst into the defensive line swiftly.

"Li Yi, follow me."

Xia Xiaozhong looked left and right before choosing a direction to run towards.

At the same time, sounds of battle and slaughter came from other parts of the third defense line – other students from Golden Academy had successfully broken in, causing a commotion.

Seeing this, Li Yi didn’t say much and simply followed.
