#336 - That’s it?
‘I can't show myself.’
Wang Jixuan reminded himself, standing with his hands behind his back at the tip of a watchtower on the edge of the military camp, using a technique to conceal his figure, closely watching the figure behind the porthole of the transport plane.
Ling Tong was leaning by the window, resting.
After working almost non-stop for two consecutive months, she looked somewhat tired at the moment.
They had indeed not seen each other for a long time.
Although Wang Jixuan could hear news about Ling Tong at any time if he wanted to, and even see the mecha's first-person perspective when Ling Tong was fighting,
a faint emotion still surrounded Wang Jixuan's heart.
This emotion was not strong. They were not the kind of lovers who would die for each other. It was just that seeing her made him feel at peace.
Taoist Wang did not disturb her with a voice transmission. He used his spiritual sense to gather strands of dust and wrote a line of small characters on the back of the chair in front of her. After thinking about it, he felt that this might disrupt her mood, so he erased the line.
After thinking it over, the Taoist priest decided not to do anything after all.
He did miss her soft embrace and sweet lips.
Desire.
Affection.
The mortal world.
In a trance, Wang Jixuan saw a series of images. Ling Tong suddenly changed into a fairy dress and danced gracefully in the Guanghan Palace, while he turned into a skeleton, sitting quietly under a tree in a daze.
Wang Jixuan shook his head violently, drove these images out of his mind, lowered his head and coughed a few times, and the flow of mana in his body showed some stagnation.
The Taoist priest's mind fluctuated slightly. He glanced at Ling Tong a few more times, then turned and flew back to the back of the Sixth Pillar on his sword.
‘Wang Jixuan, Wang Jixuan, don't get too deeply involved, don't put the cart before the horse. Coming to the mortal world is to temper your heart for better cultivation, not to abandon cultivation.’
Wang Jixuan sighed in his heart and began to understand why the ancients always lamented that there was no perfect solution in the world.
“Commander,” Mudan's voice rang in his earphones, “Your emotions have fluctuated significantly. Has something happened? Don't worry, Commander Ling Tong has not shown interest in any other opposite sex besides you in the past ten months.”
Wang Jixuan: … …
No, what is Mudan thinking!
He is because of!
Forget it, at least this is good news.
“Amina's location.”
“She has already joined up with the D5 support team. She is leading three or four high-level spirit slaves and is rushing to Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian's core forces.”
Mudan understood Wang Jixuan and took the initiative to ask:
“When are we leaving, Commander?”
“Leaving? Where to?”
“You wouldn't really let this opportunity pass,” Mudan smiled, “The City of Lingneng has attacked you so many times before, you must be planning to take some revenge.”
Wang Jixuan smiled sheepishly: “It also depends on the timing.”
“Timing?”
“Although it is very convenient to stab those bastards now, the City of Lingneng still has a large number of civilians.”
Wang Jixuan said:
“If they can't defend their own defense line, then it's their incompetence.
“If we attack their rear, causing them to be unable to defend the defense line, then the deaths of the people in the city will also be attributed to us.
“Although I'm not sure if there is merit and karma here.
“In short, we can just watch from the sidelines, not taking the initiative, nor taking responsibility. On the matter of resisting Blade Beasts, no one is qualified to accuse me of being passive and lazy.”
“That's right,” Mudan seemed a little regretful.
Wang Jixuan scolded with a smile: “Are you suffocating by my side? If you want to participate in the war, I can allow you to go and be a soldier.”
Mudan muttered: “I don't want to be a soldier. If I were to be one, I would be a general or a marshal. Of course, if I could be called a Queen, then I could reluctantly protect the fragile human primitive civilization.”
“Queen, prepare a quiet room for me.”
“Yes.”
“Also prepare a high-definition projection device, connect to the best satellite perspective, get some melon seeds and snacks, prepare two jugs of ice-cold beer, ah, right, get me some good meat, preferably braised.”
“Uh, yes.”
… …
The clouds of war loomed over the Arctic of Earth.
On the images taken by the satellite, countless aircraft had already begun to engage with the flying Blade Beasts that were constantly emerging from the ground.
Mudan also secretly opened a small window next to the main projection screen, obtained a panoramic live broadcast of the 'War Command Center' from Fu Jian, and shouts were constantly coming from there.
Click.
Wang Jixuan leisurely pulled open a can of pull-top, took a sip of wheat juice, and gently exhaled.
Life should be like this, slowing down and leisurely enjoying the monotonous and boring rhythm of life.
He was waiting, waiting for the Three Spiritual Cultivators of Light to show their skills, waiting to see what the situation would be like after the war escalated.
“Remember to remind Amina,” the Taoist priest said leisurely, “Don't let her can't help herself before the Three Spiritual Cultivators take action.”
“Understood.”
Wang Jixuan put down the beer and picked up the gadget he had carved halfway. Without even looking down, he pinched the carving knife and followed the guidance of his spiritual sense to outline the restrictions inside the 'snuff bottle'.
He could barely be considered half a master of refining tools, so he was naturally more than capable of doing this kind of meticulous work.
Time passed by in this way, nervously.
The Sixth Pillar lay quietly here, the millions of war souls in the Blissful Canopy lived a peaceful afterlife, which could be regarded as a small compensation for their previous tragic encounters.
Wang Jixuan recalled the Ghost Gate Secret Technique in his heart.
He could now be considered to have entered the door of this secret technique.
It's a pity that he is not a demonic cultivator after all, nor does he follow this kind of side path of yin cultivation.
If he wants to become an immortal, he must be upright and righteous, otherwise, if he ascends to the Immortal Realm, all kinds of problems will easily arise.
Demonic cultivators will most likely be directly struck to death by heavenly tribulation.
Suddenly, a somewhat nervous shout came from the screen:
“Commander-in-Chief! Space energy reactions have been detected in outer space! Energy reaction level E! Gravitational lensing effects have appeared in multiple areas!”
“Report! No massive celestial bodies detected!”
The command post, which was already somewhat suppressed, was a little chaotic because of this news.
The staff officers, the experts studying Blade Beasts, and the commanders-in-chief of the various war zones who were synchronously connected, were all discussing the sudden appearance of space energy reactions.
The so-called space energy is actually a kind of spiritual energy observed by humans, and their operating mechanism is not clear.
But when these phenomena appear, it can indicate… …
“They are using a Stargate to lock onto this planet.”
A familiar voice rang out, crisp and delicate, with a hint of coldness.
In the corner of the screen, an alien visitor, old and young, with long dark blue hair, sat in a transparent cabin drinking tea, calmly said:
“That is to say, the Blade Beast civilization has made all the preparations to carry out space travel. Next, if their war is unfavorable, they will request reinforcements.
“The surface Blade Beast group will soon react.”
Fu Jian nodded and synchronized the news with the other eight commanders-in-chief.
In less than three minutes, the frequency of emergency battle reports from various places began to accelerate continuously.
The Blade Beast group, which had gathered 35% of the Earth's surface forces, formed sixteen combat clusters on the periphery of the City of Lingneng, crossed the ice sea, and drilled through the ice sheet, launching a full-scale advance from underground.
This was different from the situation when Wang Jixuan was 'killed in battle' last time.
Each time the Blade Beasts launched a war, they would adjust according to the strength of the enemy.
Last time, most of the Blade Beast tide's forces were dispersed, comprehensively suppressing the nine major integrated war zones of mankind, and focusing on attacking D5.
Because they determined that to kill Black Storm, it was more than enough to have a dozen King-level Blade Beasts sneak attack Fortress 76.
This time, facing the City of Lingneng, which had a large number of spirit slaves and the firepower support of the human military, the Blade Beasts directly abandoned applying pressure on the nine major integrated war zones, but instead concentrated their forces and surrounded them from multiple directions.
At this moment, there were probably nineteen Super King-level Blade Beasts and one hundred and sixty King-level Blade Beasts hidden on the periphery of the City of Lingneng;
There were also about sixty King-level Blade Beasts rushing on the road behind.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that the title of 'the largest Blade Beast tide in human recorded history' had changed hands in just nine months.
On the big screen, countless black shadows slid under the ice.
Wang Jixuan felt a little scalp tingling as he watched.
Mudan also stopped her busy work, wearing a maid outfit and sitting obediently on the sofa next to her, staring at the various lights and shadows on the screen.
She specially mobilized more resources and found the perspective of a high-altitude reconnaissance plane locked on the interior of the City of Lingneng, and placed the picture on the left side of the main screen.
Wang Jixuan looked at it leisurely.
A large number of spirit energy users gathered behind the three lines of defense on the edge of the city.
Although there were no mechanical legions and no powerful firepower;
among these spirit energy users, there were marked, named powerful individuals, and even some old people who had not appeared in human society for twenty or thirty years.
The latest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
There was also a large group of spirit energy users with the name [Unknown] above their heads.
Faced with a deadly enemy, the interior of the City of Lingneng could not hold back, and all the combat power that could be mobilized had been mobilized.
Oh, right, the Six Elders did not move.
They stayed inside the Sphere of Silence and ultimately rejected the excellent combat plan given by Fu Jian.
The earth continued to tremble, and large areas of the ice sheet collapsed;
Sparse firepower began to fall from the air, and the mushroom clouds of explosions became more and more dense.
The spirit energy users waited in full battle;
Mudan suddenly spoke: “Commander, Aunt Dragonfly has sent someone to deliver the herbs to the contact point, and I have let the mechanical body take over and will send them over immediately.”
“Yeah,” Wang Jixuan nodded, but did not respond much.
The frequency of his drinking beer became slower and slower, the frequency of eating melon seeds increased, and the melon seed shells on the ground gradually accumulated into a layer.
— If it hadn't been for him asking Mudan to help crack sunflower seeds, and Mudan clearly had a powerful mechanical arm but insisted on using her tongue and teeth to squeeze the seeds open, Wang Daozhang wouldn't have had to crack them himself.
Half an hour later, the red dots representing the Blade Beast swarm were about to engulf the outermost defense line…
Suddenly!
“Seismic waves detected!”
“Powerful psionic reaction detected underground!”
“An unknown light source has appeared in the Sphere of Silence in Psionic City!”
The technicians on Fu Jian's side were shouting loudly;
Mudan quickly brought up the situation at the top of the Sphere of Silence, where a figure had appeared.
It was the white-robed old man, Wanda, the number two psionic cultivator!
A happy smile adorned his lips as he raised his hands high, with dozens of equilateral hexagons appearing behind him, the intense light radiating from his body.
The earth suddenly shimmered with golden light.
Wang Jixuan didn't understand the methods of psionic cultivators, but he could tell at a glance that they had set up something similar to a formation in the cultivation world in advance, and Wanda was now presiding over its activation.
Light gushed forth!
A thick curtain of light appeared on the ground, immediately beginning to tremble continuously.
On the radar interface, the red dots representing the Blade Beast tide suddenly paused!
The psionic cultivators had indeed hidden many tricks!
Wang Jixuan quickly recorded these methods.
However, before he could ask Mudan to analyze the psionic data, the extremely wide golden light curtain shattered simultaneously in multiple areas.
Golden fragments littered the ground.
Wanda staggered, then immediately steadied himself, pressing down forcefully with both hands, his robe billowing.
This seemed to be his ultimate move!
Golden lines appeared throughout Psionic City, as if the entire city was part of a massive formation.
A rumbling sound came from the earth.
The Blade Beast swarm once again ran into a wall.
However, when Mudan secretly deployed a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and sent back a clear close-up of Wanda, Wang Daozhang couldn't help but complain:
“He's already spitting blood?”
“Not just spitting blood, his psionic index is also constantly decreasing.”
“No, they've been operating in Psionic City for so many years, raising so many psionic slaves, and the dignified number two psionic cultivator comes out to resist the attack of ordinary Blade Beast tides and immediately spits blood?”
“Yes,” Mudan blinked, “Even if his recovery rate is much higher than Miss Amina's, the total amount of psionic energy in his body is limited, and there are too many Blade Beasts… Sir, is there something wrong with this?”
Wang Jixuan: …
What Mudan said made sense.
He was still too prejudiced, comparing the psionic circuit methods of the psionic civilization to the great formations of their cultivation world.
The characteristic of the great formations in the cultivation world is to condense the power of the formation and borrow the power of heaven and earth.
Forget it, there's no need to record it.
In the picture, a large number of Blade Beasts began to emerge from the ground, rushing towards the defense line of the psionic cultivators.
In all directions, nearly a thousand figures rushed out of the defense line at the same time, charging towards the Blade Beasts, with various psionic techniques erupting simultaneously.
Tornadoes destroyed Blade Beast fields;
Falling meteorites bombarded the Blade Beast tide;
Physically strong men and women frantically swept across the battlefield;
SS-class psionic cultivators directly used psionic shockwaves to wipe out large groups of Blade Beasts in front of them with a wave of their hands.
This was the war form of psionic energy!
Unlike Wang Jixuan's previous view of rocket artillery carpet bombing, the psionic cultivators were exerting their own strength to fight against the Blade Beast invasion.
It even made him feel a little excited.
Psionic City also had a firepower defense line, but it was far less powerful than D5.
At this moment, this defense line was also playing a role, cooperating with the powerful high-level psionic cultivators to attack the Blade Beast swarm.
For the next half hour, the trend of the war was almost one-sided.
The Blade Beasts continued to charge forward, but they couldn't break through the firepower battle lines built around the powerful psionic cultivators.
The psionic cultivators, having overcome their initial fear, had greatly boosted their morale.
Unfortunately, this was just a probe by the Blade Beasts.
A-level psionic cultivators began to rotate in an orderly manner, and some psionic cultivators, after vigorously using their abilities, had begun to run out of psionic energy.
Meanwhile, the giant beasts in the Blade Beast swarm, the ultra-king-level and king-level Great Blade Beasts, had not yet appeared.
In the command channel, a marshal couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse:
“These damn psionic slaves! If this power was used to cooperate with us, we could have counterattacked the Blade Beasts long ago!”
Another marshal replied: “Five hundred million people is the result of their negotiations.”
The command channel fell silent again.
A few more minutes passed, and suddenly high-level psionic cultivators began to die.
Wang Jixuan suddenly said: “Those fake psionic slaves have appeared.”
Mudan controlled the reconnaissance aircraft to search everywhere, and soon discovered that individuals wearing armor made of Blade Beast exoskeletons, lying on the backs of high-level Blade Beasts, as if fused with the Blade Beasts, were constantly launching sneak attacks.
A large number of figures were running on the ice field, and based on the data estimated by the supercomputer alone, there were roughly hundreds of thousands of them.
The high-level psionic cultivators were caught off guard, and many people retreated directly, causing the psionic cultivators on various battlefields to have to retreat.
Some psionic cultivators who still had the power to fight were instead surrounded and quickly overwhelmed by the Blade Beast tide.
There was no discipline whatsoever.
Their first line of defense quickly collapsed.
“So weak,” Wang Jixuan scratched his head.
