nIn the sky, the Magnetic Sword exerted all its strength and quickly flew forward with Wang Che.
nThe green caterpillar looked back and could not help but feel even more nervous.
n
n
nThe densely packed Thousand-legged Flying Ants were like a swarm of locusts.
nMoreover, they were getting closer and closer!
nThe green caterpillar felt that it might lose its life today.
nIt was too terrifying.
n
n
nThese Thousand-Legged Flying Ants’ soul power cultivation was not weak. Most of them had four to five hundred years of soul power cultivation.
nUnder the illness, their combat strength had increased by another level and was even stronger.
nAgainst one or two, the green caterpillar felt that it would win.
nIt could beat two or three of them.
n
n
nBelow ten, the green caterpillar was very confident.
nBut so many…
nEven ten of it combined could not win against them!
nIt immediately gave up.
n“Ssss!”
nThe green caterpillar shouted at Wang Che as if to say something.
n
n
n“Oh? You said that before you die, you want to hear a few more chapters… The requirement is not much, just ten chapters?”
nWang Che laughed.
nThis silly child.
n“Don’t worry, you can’t even fly. If you die like this, won’t you feel embarrassed?” Wang Che said.
nThe green caterpillar thought about it and felt that it made sense. It was immediately motivated.
n“I can’t die!”
nWang Che’s eyes flickered. He smiled and continued running…
n——
n
n
nAt the same time, at a border military base at the border of Glory City.
nIn a room.
nSlam!
nThe sound of palms hitting the table slammed out continuously.
n“Who asked you to agree?! Tell me?! Who asked you to agree?!”
nZhao He was furious. He pointed at an officer in front and said, “Who is he? Do you know? You agreed? He’s still a student! A student who has just awakened his martial soul! You want him to restrain those Ghost Disciples and the Thousand-legged Soldier Ants?”
n“He’s Wang Batian, I know.” The officer opposite him said in a low voice, “It’s precisely because I know and he suggested it that I agreed. He’s a young hero, a genius, not an ordinary student.”
n“Bullsh*t!” Zhao He was angered to the point of laughing, “No matter how f*cking genius he is, he still has to be given time to develop! Can’t you see the situation!”
nAs he spoke, Zhao He became even more furious.
nHe had not been this angry in a long time.
nThe West Peak Continent knew that the Ghost Disciples would attack.
nEven the attack on the maglev train was expected.
nHowever, the West Peak Continent did not expect this attack.
n
n
n“But Senior Li told us that if it’s his request, we must definitely fulfill it.” The officer continued.
n“Blockhead Li is the biggest idiot in your West Peak Continent’s military.”
nZhao He was so angry that he could not speak, “He was the one who discovered this genius. Great, he’s going to be the reason we’re losing this genius too. I told him to send someone to fetch him privately. Look what happened…”
n“Chief Zhao, when Senior Li told us, we asked as well,” the officer explained, “Wang Batian said that he requested it himself.”
nWhen Zhao He heard this, he was slightly stunned. After a few seconds of silence, he roughly understood.
n“Where’s that Blockhead Li?” Zhao He asked.
n“On another maglev route, the Ghost Disciples were obviously prepared this time… They attacked a total of six complicated routes. With our experience in fighting the Ghost Disciples and the analysis of the other war zones, only a few of them sneaked into the wilderness this time. With so few people, I thought they would sneak into the maglev train and threaten it. Therefore, every train was strictly guarded… They were not given a chance to sneak in.”
n“But we didn’t expect that they would not do so this time. They actually spread Black Blood Cancer in the soul beast group and used the soul beast group that had fallen ill to block and attack the maglev train… Very powerful soul beasts appeared in the soul beast group on several routes.”
n“We need many high-level Contract Soul Masters to help and suppress it. The high-level Contract Soul Masters on our side also immediately went to save it… As for Skyheart City, the situation happened last. When we obtained news of the situation, there were no high-level Contract Soul Masters on our side anymore. We could only transfer them from the base headquarters. It only required a certain amount of time.”
nA high-level Contract Soul Master referred to a Contract Soul Master below level 70 and above Level 50.
n“How much longer until the rescue team arrives?” Zhao He continued to ask.
n“It’ll take at least 20 minutes.”
nThe West Peak Continent was vast.
nTo be precise, it was tens of millions of square kilometers of the Eastern War Zone.
nJust the West Peak Continent alone was close to 8.6 million square kilometers.
nOf the 33 cities, each one did not cover a large area. They were very far apart from each other.
nTherefore, one could only imagine how vast and complicated the wilderness was.
nEven a high-level Contract Soul Master would need some time to reach the wilderness.
nAs for Contract Soul Masters above the high-level, most of them were in important positions and had important matters to attend to.
nThey would not be transferred away easily.
nZhao He’s heart sank.
nHe knew that there were actually city guards and city inspectors in Glory City.
nThere was also the special army of the West Peak Continent, the Tower Peak Army.
nAmong them, there were a large number of high-level Contract Soul Masters.
nBut the first two were used for city defense and security.
nGlory City was the continental city. These troops could not be transferred away easily. Otherwise, if there was chaos in the city, with the strength of Contract Soul Masters, that would be devastating.
nIf the Ghost Disciples took the opportunity to sneak in, it would be even more terrifying.
nThe Tower Peak Army was guarding the West Peak Continent’s Soul Earth. It had the strongest combat strength and had a Heavenly King guarding it.
nNot to mention the high-level Contract Soul Masters, even the middle-level Contract Soul Masters could not be mobilized casually.
nThey all had their own responsibilities.
nUnless there was a major crisis that concerned the safety of the city or the Soul Earth riot.
nOtherwise, it was impossible to mobilize.
nHow cunning were the Ghost Disciples?
nThey were very familiar with the rules of the various war zones.
nWithout attacking all of them, they chose six routes.
nThey knew that by doing this, the extent of the situation would be raised. Only the border army base guarding the border would move out.
nIt was very clear.
n“Clearly, their final goal is still Wang Batian.”
nZhao He whispered, “No, it’s too late to wait for your headquarters to send someone over! I’ll go personally.”
nAs the head of the Martial Soul Research Department, his main goal was to study martial souls.
nHowever, he was also a high-level Contract Soul Master with incredible combat strength.
nHigh-level Contract Soul Masters were not registered in the war zone.
nOtherwise, even high-level Contract Soul Masters of large corporations could not casually enter the wilderness and participate in combat without the authorization document and orders.
n“Chief, you can do this. It’s just against the rules. Moreover, you’re from the Martial Soul Research Department.”
nThe officer said, “Moreover, I believe that Hero Wang Batian, who crushed the Ghost Disciple’s scheme last time, can still do it this time.”
n“Do you trust him so much?” Zhao He frowned.
nHe did not know much about the Floating Forest.
nThe situation inside was very complicated.
nCurrently, it seemed that only Blockhead Li knew the entire situation and had sealed the information.
nEven he did not know the exact situation.
n“Senior Li trusts us. Not only do we trust him, but we also admire and respect him.” The officer nodded heavily.
nZhao He thought about it and decided to go take a look.
nIf this precious genius was gone, his heart would ache.
n“Zhao He, you don’t have to go.”
nAt this moment, a figure walked in.
n“Director He? Why are you here?”
nZhao He looked at the person and was slightly stunned.
nIt was the person in charge of the West Peak Continent’s soul pet research base.
n“Of course I came to take a look because I knew about this.”
nThe female professor called Director He was still wearing a white research coat. Her hair was very messy, but her voice was very loud and clear, “Black Blood Cancer not only causes the soul pet’s soul power cultivation to abnormally increase, but when a soul pet in the wilderness falls into an illness, it can also easily evolve. After the soldier ant evolves, it can fly.”
n“I know that. What do you mean?” Zhao He frowned.
n“Zhao He, it looks like your brain is rusty. What I mean is, since Wang Che steped up, with the anger of those Ghost Disciples, he can indeed delay for a period of time.”
n“However, there’s only two outcomes. Either he stalls until the rescue team arrives and comes back alive, or you won’t even find the corpse in the wilderness. It’s useless for you to go alone.”
nZhao He was silent.
n“It’s just that, I looked at the staff and saw a name.”
n“Who?”
n“Lin Xi.”
n“Her?” Zhao He was stunned as if he had thought of something.
nThe female professor continued, “This young lady is very interesting. With her background, the Blazing Sun Club or the Lin family should have arranged for a car to pick her up and protect her. She actually didn’t do that and instead rode the maglev train to Glory City with the students of Skyheart City.”
n“You mean that the Blazing Sun Club or the Lin family will definitely arrange for experts to secretly protect her?” Zhao He understood and reacted quickly, “So, there must be a powerful Contract Soul Master above the high-level protecting the route of the maglev train?”
n“What else?” The female professor smiled.
n“Why did she do this…” Zhao He did not understand. He suddenly had a thought and looked at the female professor, “Are you saying this because of Wang Che?”
n“It’s hard to say. I’ve seen her before. I checked the information and discovered that she was defeated by Wang Che in the Enlightenment Cup and suffered a setback from him. I’m guessing that she won’t just watch Wang Che die like that. At the very least, she has to defeat Wang Che first to prove herself.”
n“Hearing you say that, I feel a little more at ease.” Zhao He sighed in relief, “However, there’s a precondition: Does Lin Xi know that Wang Che is Wang Batian? Does she know that the Ghost Disciples will attack at this time?”
n“Who knows? However, she should be able to guess a little, but can’t confirm it. Sitting on the maglev train together might just be a guarantee. This young lady is very smart.”
nZhao He felt a little more at ease and smiled.
n——
nAt this moment, on the other side.
nIn the wilderness.
nWang Che had already been using Sword Kinesis Flight for more than ten minutes.
nHe was running in the opposite direction. In comparison, it would definitely take longer for the rescue team to arrive.
nAt this moment, the Thousand-legged Flying Ants had almost caught up.
nThey were less than four to five hundred meters away from Wang Che.
nIf he continued flying, he would be caught in a minute or two.
nThe Magnetic Sword was very fast now.
nHowever, no matter how fast it was, compared to the thousand-legged flying ants that had evolved with 500 to 600 years of cultivation base, it was still inferior.
nThe situation was getting more and more dangerous.
n“Wang Che! You’re flying around like a headless fly. It’s useless!”
nAt this moment, the Ghost Disciple shouted sternly, “Last time, you ruined our plan. Let’s see where you can run to this time! Die!”
nHe roared at the conch, his voice seeming to penetrate thousands of meters.
nLike a divine sound, Wang Che, who was a few hundred meters away, heard it clearly.
nAt this moment, even if the rescue team came, it was impossible to save him!
nAs soon as he finished speaking, the weather gradually turned gloomy, as if it represented something…
nWang Che suddenly stopped running.
n“Indeed, it’s time to die.” Wang Che nodded.
nHe looked up at the sky.
nSuddenly, there was a loud bang in the sky!
nThe heavy rain came as it pleased!
nDense raindrops fell from the sky…
nThe Ghost Disciple did not hear what Wang Che said, but when he stopped, he knew.
nThis kid had probably given up.
nAfter running for so long, if that Magnetic Sword did not have any soul power replenishment medicine, it would probably have stopped long ago.
n“It’s finally here. The weather forecast’s accuracy is getting worse and worse.”
nWang Che shook his head.
nHe fumbled for something in his arms, took out a lightning rod and quickly extended it.
n“Spit Thread.” Wang Che said to the green caterpillar.
nThe green caterpillar rustled a few times and spat out a scorching thread that connected to the lightning rod.
nWang Che threw the lightning rod into the sky.
nThen, he squatted down and touched the Magnetic Sword.
n“Today, I’ll teach you an ordinary sword technique. I’ll use it this time. Next time, you’ll use it yourself.”
n“Ssss!”
nThe Magnetic Sword was very excited.
n“Sword Skill: Heavenly Lightning Slash!”
nJust as he finished speaking, suddenly, a bolt of heavenly lightning as thick as a bucket struck down from the sky…
n
