Chapter 512 Rescue
Just as the city lord's mansion fell silent, Shao Bing arrived in a hurry.
Shao Bing was surprised to see Xu Si at the City Lord's Mansion, but after nodding, he still said to Fu Xiaojian, "Something has happened."
"Sky City?" Fu Xiaojian seemed to have expected this.
"An urgent communication that Zhong Ling just received."
Shao Bing nodded and then handed Fu Xiaojian a letter.
"City of Fire, I am Luo Qinghe, the lord of Sky City. We have been attacked from a high altitude by a strange force, and more than half of our city's inhabitants have perished. As fellow humans, we implore your assistance. Coordinates are attached."
Before this, Luo Qinghe would definitely not have been able to provide the coordinates, and this is thanks to the City of Fire actively revealing the coordinates.
"A strange high position? They don't think we can handle this easily, do they?" Fu Xiaojian frowned as he looked at the coordinates on the letter.
Then he realized that his words were a bit off, and he couldn't help but glance at Xu Si, who was still half-leaning in the chair.
Xu Si, who is elusive in high positions, can indeed handle things with ease.
If their team has the ability to provide support, then Xu Si is probably the only one!
"What location?" Xu Si finally asked.
He didn't feel morally blackmailed; what he needed now was to vent.
"It's to the southwest, about 1,200 kilometers away from us," Shao Bing said proactively.
"1,200 kilometers."
Xu Si repeated the number, his crimson star-like eyes slightly narrowing.
Before he advanced to Sequence 8, this distance would have required at least half an hour of full-speed flight.
But now—
"I'll go."
Xu Si stood up, and the white jade chair that was hard on his back swayed gently behind him.
"It's impossible, no need..." Before Fu Xiaojian could finish speaking, Xu Si's figure had already completely disappeared.
Fu Xiaojian's lips twitched, and he casually pulled a map from the stack of documents on the table, unfolded it, and pointed to a location in the southwest direction with his fingertip.
During this period, Ya Ya did help draw a map of a considerable area, but that area was still completely dark.
It far exceeded the limits of its capabilities.
"Based on the scattered intelligence we've gathered so far, this convoy is no smaller than ours, and they possess the wondrous artifact 'Sky City'—which should be a mobile fortress that can float," Shao Bing said.
"The fact that they were able to withstand such a bizarre attack from a high position until now shows that their strength is no less than ours," Fu Xiaojian added.
"I hope Xu Si succeeds!"
Shao Bing frowned. Humanity really can't afford to be worn down any longer.
Especially after Fu Xiaojian mentioned starting the final chapter of the Chosen Ones.
-
1,200 kilometers.
For Xu Si at this moment, it was only a matter of a few dozen breaths.
The wind whistled in his ears, and the blood-red sun's rays poured down from behind him, leaving the sonic boom far behind.
He looked down and saw the earth rushing past beneath his feet—wasteland, hills, dried-up riverbeds, collapsed city ruins, all blurred into a flowing background by the dark red halo.
That voice echoed repeatedly in his mind.
"Brother, you are the most powerful God King..."
Xu Si's lips twitched, it was hard to tell whether he wanted to laugh or cry.
God-King.
He hadn't even reached the threshold of godhood yet, and his sister had already set such a high goal for him.
But she said it so matter-of-factly.
Xu Si took a deep breath and suppressed his chaotic thoughts.
On the distant horizon, a dark flame is slowly expanding.
The familiar violence and ominousness.
The high position is strange.
Xu Si's starry pupils suddenly contracted.
He finally saw the full extent of the flame.
It was a colossal creature of immeasurable size, resembling an infinitely magnified octopus, with dozens of jet-black tentacles extending outward from its central body, each end of which grew a ferocious mouth covered with sharp teeth.
At this moment, it is hovering above a precarious city in mid-air.
It was a castle that looked like it was suspended by a hot air balloon, reminding Xu Si of the movie "Up" that he and Xu Miaomiao had watched before the apocalypse. The outer transparent light shield was already covered with cracks.
It's somewhat like Jiang Li's barrier, but not quite.
Castle in the Sky.
The system provided no information, neither about the strange object nor about anything eerie.
He tried to call the system multiple times.
There was no response.
The system panel has also disappeared.
Purification points, sequence processes, special states—the data interfaces that accompanied him through the entire apocalypse vanished completely, as if they had never existed.
Xu Si frowned slightly, then relaxed.
If you don't have it, you don't have it.
It's a pity he still has hundreds of thousands of purification points left.
As the distance closed, the strange creature in the high position finally noticed Xu Si's presence.
Two tentacles pushed the Sky City convoy aside, facing the pressure from Xu Si head-on.
It seems that this strange creature in front of us has not lost its mind due to hunger.
Xu Si had just discovered that it was actually toying with "Sky City," but he had no idea why.
Xu Si did not test him, did not beat around the bush, and did not even use the Sword of Royal Power.
Because this eerie feeling he had wasn't very strong, it wasn't as strong as Wanliuchun's, much less so than his own.
His speed was extreme, and his whole body transformed into a burning meteor. Crimson star power condensed on his body surface into a layer of almost solid armor, and the scorching light generated by friction with the air dyed half the sky dark red.
The strange creature in the high position finally sensed the threat.
It abandoned the Sky City within its tentacles and began to focus all its efforts on dealing with Xu Si's attack.
Dozens of jet-black tentacles stretched outward from the center of the body, like a blooming flower of death from the abyss.
The mouthparts at the end of each tentacle opened simultaneously, revealing layers upon layers of barbed teeth, emitting a piercing shriek powerful enough to tear the soul apart.
The Sky City, now freed from its restraints, wobbled and plummeted downwards. The outer, cracked, transparent light shield cracked and sputtered under the pull of gravity, the cracks spreading outwards like a spiderweb.
Xu Si ignored it.
Those shrieking sounds did indeed have some effect on him, seemingly as a means of restricting the flow of energy.
Without a systematic entry, Xu Si could only make a rough judgment.
However, it was not difficult for Xu Si to deal with it. His divinity helped him avoid the negative effects of the shriek almost instantly.
Then the offense and defense immediately shifted.
After Xu Si's starting stance was interrupted by that shrill whistle, the strange next attack followed immediately.
He never expected that the offensive and defensive positions would shift so quickly.
Left with no other choice, Xu Si drew his longsword and with a horizontal slash, severed all the tentacles that were attacking him.
After advancing to Sequence 8, his current slashes have at least 80% of the power of the Sword Demon.
The strange creature clearly hadn't expected Xu Si to be able to withstand his attack so easily.
The development of events was clearly beyond what the individual had anticipated.
