Chapter 707 - 619: Much Ado About Nothing (4)
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was slightly taken aback.
Connecting the Revolutionary Army’s urgent pursuit of that vehicle Blade, a vague truth began to form in their hearts.
"The real black box is on that Blade, that’s why Dark Gold Rose is chasing it like crazy!" Four-leaf Phoenix Tree immediately voiced out his inner judgment.
"He’s asking us for help, specifically, he’s asking Firefly for help!"
"Let’s go." Lu Shuhang spoke up. "We must intercept that vehicle."
"Understood!"
Four-leaf Phoenix Tree placed a hand on Lu Shuhang’s shoulder, and in the next moment, the four of them transformed into golden electric lights, disappearing into the night.
Meanwhile, inside Blade, Qi exerted all his strength to push the automaton soldier that had crawled through the car window back outside. Finally, he gritted his teeth, grabbed some glass shards nearby, and stabbed it into the automaton soldier’s eye, twisting it.
"Get... out of my way!"
Even though his hands were covered in blood, Qi ruthlessly pushed the shard deeper, until the automaton soldier stopped with a ’buzz’, thrown aside by Blade, falling to the ground and bouncing away, disappearing from the view of the camera.
The youth’s expression remained consistent, his steady gaze fixed forward.
"Well done." Mi said.
"Not bad." Qi’s chest heaved intensely as he shook the glass shard in his hand, "You thought I’d only make faces at dolphins in the aquarium?"
"These things, I’m doing for the first time. Without trying once, who knows they’re not cut out for this stuff?"
"You saw what happened just now, right? Wait..."
While speaking, Qi noticed something unusual, the youth’s expression remained calm, but his face was very pale, and the hand gripping the steering wheel was faintly trembling.
"What’s wrong?" Qi asked aloud.
"It’s nothing." Mi glanced down at his injury, his abdomen stained bright red by blood, "Just a piece of debris stuck in my abdomen earlier, the blood loss is manageable, I’m not going to faint anytime soon."
"Once we’re in a safe place, it’ll be up to you to get us out of the city."
The sound of the wind rushing past echoed inside the vehicle, and for a moment, the atmosphere inside felt dead silent. The excitement the girl had earlier gradually faded, as if doused with a bucket of cold water, replaced by deep, chilling nerves.
Mi said helplessly, "Don’t worry, I’m really fine, don’t keep wearing that expression."
"It’s normal to get injured in situations like this, fragments from explosions are everywhere."
"Thankfully, I didn’t sustain more serious injuries."
"Besides, as long as the emotional module remains, Bionics will never truly die, you can always carry my head with you..." Mi tried to comfort by saying, offering five words. "Portable Friend."
"You find that funny?" Qi said.
Mi wisely went silent.
The vehicle sped all the way, and unknowingly, the sounds of artillery outside gradually faded, the operating noise of the automaton soldiers also slowly drifted away, leaving only the buzzing overhead from armed helicopters and Mayfly Drones.
Through the rearview mirror, Mi noticed several armed helicopters being struck by attacks from somewhere, violently shaking, before turning into fiery Fireballs plummeting down and exploding.
Two Ice Wolf Titans were also hit by bursts of golden light and, in an instant, exploded, engulfed in flames.
"Looks like Firefly’s forces have acted."
"They’ve noticed us."
"It seems once we cross the blockade, they’ll come and support us."
Mi’s gaze stayed fixed ahead, the night dark and heavy, large structures resembling torii stood at the edge, neon blue and purple subdued lights flickering below, Mu Yaoyin and other districts’ height disparity reached nearly several kilometers, built atop a colossus platform formed by assembled giant towers, resembling a floating island.
And behind the torii structures lies the high-speed air dock, utilizing Skyline-like space-time transport protocol, crossing the torii allows for quick travel to the lower districts, leaving Mu Yaoyin.
Just as Mi was relieved, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a figure under the torii, his pupils rapidly contracted.
Under the neon blue and purple reflection, the silver-haired girl’s form was ghostly, her long hair and coat flying in the wind, and below the dark red eyes, her lips curled into a wild smile, exuding a sinister aura.
"Sorry." Angelina slowly raised the Lance in her hand, "Someone said no one’s leaving Mu Yaoyin tonight."
"Damn!"
As the Blade was aimed at by the girl’s Lance, Mi cursed under his breath, sharply turning the steering wheel, but it was too late; the Lance shot through Blade almost instantly, the whole vehicle started disintegrating in a roll...
"Angelina!"
Yu Lan rushed in from the side, shouting as she swung her Scythe to clash with Angelina’s Lance.
After several collisions, the Lance was oppressed all the way to Angelina’s neck by the Giant Scythe, her dark red eyes filled with malice glanced over, lips slightly tilted:
"Don’t shout so loudly, I’m just indulging someone’s whims after all."
Speaking this, Angelina’s wrist exerted strength, the Crow Slaying Ash Armor unleashed, the Ash Burning Domain instantly covered the entire area, forcing Yu Lan back with a swift horizontal sweep of the Lance.
In a flash, several members of Assassin’s Creed appeared.
"Find the black box first." Lu Shuhang waved his hand, "Angelina will be handled by Yu Lan and Four-leaf Phoenix Tree!"
Angelina raised her eyebrows, watching Zhou Zhao and Lu Shuhang run toward where Blade crashed.
"You damn lunatic." Yu Lan gritted her teeth slightly, "Aren’t you afraid you’ll destroy the black box?"
"Really?" Angelina tilted her head, "That seems possible."
"But I don’t care."
In the next moment, the attacks of both fully unfolded, Angelina wielding the Lance with one hand to duel Yu Lan’s Giant Scythe, Yu Lan gripping the Scythe with both hands, bounced by the toes of her feet, the Scythe and Lance cast afterimages as two curves collided simultaneously, fierce winds swept through, shards of light flew.
Under the shimmering blue and purple light, the moves of both girls aimed straight at each other’s vital throats, one fighting and retreating with a single-handed Lance, the other advancing relentlessly with a two-handed Scythe.
This balance broke when Four-leaf Phoenix Tree joined the battle, a golden lightning struck, knocking Angelina back several meters with a Supersonic Kick, while she quickly stabbed the Lance into the ground, throwing out a large rock to block Four-leaf Phoenix Tree’s further pursuit.
The three momentarily faced off before simultaneously charging at each other.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the group had yet to see Xu Xiaoyou’s figure, when suddenly, a heavy pressure descended from the sky, Lu Shuhang who sensed something amiss retreated with Zhou Zhao.
As the dust settled, Bai Youyou emerged fully activating Severing Holy Armor, lifting the Heavy Hammer deeply embedded in the ground, resting it on her shoulder provocatively gesturing to Assassin’s Creed.
Tang Xin also walked out from the side, her fishtail dress fluttering, String Sword slowly upraised, a gleaming aura expanded beneath Light Chasing Garden members’ feet.
At this moment, the whole scene erupted in cheer.
The host excitedly exclaimed:
"We can see both sides appearing in full for the first time, the final showdown between Assassin’s Creed and Light Chasing Garden is about to begin!"
