Chapter 280 Escape from Death
Qin Wuyi lost her balance and was pulled backward by the force.
The two tumbled along the rough cement pavement into the shadows of the narrow alley next to Old Wang's noodle shop.
The sky above was completely obscured.
A massive fortress, pieced together from silver geometric shapes, hangs upside down beneath the clouds.
Its size surpasses the understanding of human architecture.
The crystal armor at the bottom emitted a dull, scraping sound as it slid apart layer by layer to the sides.
Hundreds of matrix cannons were aimed at this block.
The beams of light poured down, forming a dense net.
There was no sound of an explosion, and no flash of light.
The beam of light cleaved through the surface of the street, and the matter was destroyed the instant it made contact.
Asphalt road, breakfast carts along the street, broken lampposts.
All objects were silently disintegrating, turning into uniform, fine white powder.
Dust filled the air, bringing a pungent, sour smell.
A beam of light deflected, grazing the edge of the shadows in the alleyway.
Lu Yan did not back down.
A twelve-petaled black lotus totem swirls beneath your feet.
The black lotus pure land spreads outward along the cracks in the cement floor, forming an invisible boundary.
The beam of light struck the black area.
The conflict at the level of laws is silent.
Several tiny ripples spread across the surface of the black area, completely blocking the destructive power of the beam.
The alarms in the far reaches of the city finally received a response.
The air defense artillery formations stationed at Longwei Base are operating at full power.
The recoil of the heavy anti-aircraft gun shattered the surrounding glass.
A dense barrage of tracer bullets, trailing long plumes of flame, shot straight up against the night sky.
The projectiles intertwined in the air, forming a dazzling net of fire, before crashing violently into the temple's energy shell.
It did not penetrate.
When the bullet hit the semi-transparent barrier, it didn't even create a ripple.
It was instantly melted, scattering into harmless spots of light without a sound.
The heavy firepower network was densely interwoven, but it achieved nothing.
This dimensional gap cannot be bridged by conventional weapons.
Qin Wuyi knelt against the wall, her chest heaving violently.
He reached into the pocket of his denim jacket.
He took out seven copper coins covered in green rust.
The serrations on the edge of the copper coin have been worn smooth and are covered with years of sweat stains.
He slapped it backhand.
He forcefully pressed seven copper coins into the cracks of the hard bluestone slab, arranging them in a spoon shape.
The thumb pressed heavily on the central coin, with the knuckles pressing down.
A freshwater-rippled cover rises from the edge of the copper coin.
The water rippled along the base of the wall, completely enveloping the two figures.
This is not a defensive formation designed for confrontation.
The concealment formation does only one thing.
Change the refraction path of light and wavelength.
The second wave of probe beams swept down from the bottom of the mobile sanctuary.
The pale blue detection net swept across the street corner, penetrated the water ripple cover, and continued to spread outward.
Inside the formation, the two people's heat, heartbeats, and even fluctuations in the laws were perfectly concealed.
He disconnected the communication and switched the terminal to silent mode.
His gaze pierced through the ripples of the array and landed at the end of the empty street.
The night was torn apart.
Three silver metal transport pods broke through the clouds and crashed to the ground with a piercing sound.
There was no deceleration chute, and no buffer device.
The transport capsule crashed onto the street, which had turned to dust, creating three deep craters.
The airflow stirred up large plumes of gray-white dust, obscuring the view.
The hatch sprang open with a dull metallic clanging sound.
The twelve angel constructs stepped out of the hatch one by one.
Its body, made of silver crystals, gleamed coldly in the night. Its faceplate was as smooth as a mirror, and it had no facial features.
They drew their lightsabers from their waists.
A crimson energy blade popped out, emitting a high-frequency noise.
The constructs split up in pairs and quickly dispersed.
Start the ground cleaning procedure.
Their steps were synchronized, each foot landing precisely on the same point.
He casually swung the lightsaber.
The remaining half of the GG sign by the roadside was cut into several pieces with smooth cuts.
They are searching for any signs of life that have escaped detection.
Qin Wuyi straightened up and brushed the dust off his trousers.
He took out the half of the identity card with charred edges.
He ran his fingers along the broken edge twice, stopping at the character "Qin".
He then stuffed his ID tag into the inside pocket of his jacket, closest to his chest.
I pressed it through the fabric.
He turned his head and looked directly into Lu Yan's eyes.
The bloodshot eyes hadn't faded, but the panic in them had been replaced by a resolute determination.
"Where is that application form?"
Lu Yan flipped his wrist and pulled out the folded piece of paper from his side pocket.
The paper still had water stains left from when Qin Wuyi drank water, and it was somewhat wrinkled.
Snapped.
Lu Yan slapped the piece of paper onto Qin Wuyi's chest.
It wasn't forceful, but it was impactful.
"Signed."
"I'll take you up there."
Lu Yan put the piece of paper away and placed it close to his body.
The black lotus phantom beneath their feet accelerated its rotation.
The dark power of the law rose up from the ground and wrapped around Lu Yan's combat boots.
"Stay close."
The dust had not yet completely settled on the street outside the alley.
The encirclement of the twelve angelic constructs is shrinking.
The water ripple array is deactivated.
The moment their forms were exposed, the three closest constructs turned their heads simultaneously.
The smooth visor reflected the images of the two people.
There was no warning, no hesitation.
Three crimson swords intertwined into a net, slashing horizontally towards Lu Yan's neck and abdomen.
Lu Yan did not draw his weapon.
He took a step forward, deliberately meeting the trajectory of the lightsaber.
The area of the Black Lotus Pure Land rapidly expanded to ten meters.
The pitch-black area covered the three constructs.
The lightsaber's blade dimmed instantly upon entering the area.
The high-frequency hum turned into a sluggish, static sound.
Lu Yan raised his hand, bent his knuckles, and precisely tapped the blade of the foremost lightsaber.
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
The crimson blade, composed of high-dimensional energy, is covered with glass-like cracks.
It then shattered into pieces.
The construct froze, and a series of chaotic electric sparks appeared on its surface.
Depriving them of their power source at the level of laws cuts them off.
"The three on the left are mine." Lu Yan's voice rang in Qin Wuyi's ears.
"Nine on the right, use your formation."
This is not only a real-world test, but also an assessment.
He wanted to see the true limits of this preacher of the universe.
Qin Wuyi did not refute.
He reached behind him and pulled a handful of metal discs from the canvas bag at his waist.
Each one was engraved with dense runes.
His footsteps clashed, and instead of retreating, he charged toward the nine constructs on his right.
His weakness is that he has no offensive capabilities.
But control is his absolute domain.
The nine constructs re-locked onto the target.
With the eighteen mechanical legs exerting force, deep pits were stomped into the cement ground at an extremely high speed.
Lightsabers were raised high, forming an impenetrable strangulation formation.
Qin Wuyi stopped abruptly five meters away from them, bent her knees, and slid two meters forward.
She threw out the metal disc in her hand like a shower of flowers.
It's not about blindly discarding things.
The landing position of each disc was precisely calculated.
Ding ding ding.
The discs are embedded in the pile of rubble, forming a regular hexagon with a diameter of ten meters.
The nine constructs stepped right into the hexagonal area.
"seal up."
Qin Wuyi clasped his hands together and quickly formed hand seals with his ten fingers.
Deep blue energy threads lit up between the metal discs on the ground.
The silk threads intertwined, rising from the ground to form an inverted prison of light.
The construct slammed into the inner wall of the light prison with a deafening thud.
The surface of the light chamber rippled violently, but it did not crack.
They brandished lightsabers and frantically slashed at the cage.
A slit was cut in the deep blue energy network, which then quickly healed itself in the next second.
Qin Wuyi maintained the hand seal posture, his expression turning ugly.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
This is no ordinary predicament.
It's his signature move, drawing a circle on the ground to trap and imprison the boss in a B-level secret realm.
After dealing with the three constructs on the left, Lu Yan turned and walked towards the light prison.
The destructive power of the nine angel constructs is constantly increasing.
The core at the bottom of the visor overloaded and emitted light, causing the lightsaber's temperature to double.
The repair speed of the light prison began to fall behind the rate of destruction.
"They are analyzing the frequency of the laws governing the array."
Qin Wuyi gritted her teeth, her fingers trembling slightly from the force.
"I can only hold on for another ten seconds at most."
Deep black lines spread along the energy lines of the light prison.
The formation, which was originally purely defensive, has been infused with another layer of law.
"Withering away." Lu Yan uttered the two words in a low voice.
The space inside the light prison has undergone an anomaly.
The nine constructs slowed down their movements.
Grayish-white spots appeared on the silver crystal shell.
Their raised lightsabers had their power supply forcibly cut off, causing the blades to retract into the hilts.
The gears and bearings at the joints, weathered over thousands of years, creaked under the weight of the load.
Qin Wuyi's eyes widened.
He realized that the formation had turned into a giant meat grinder.
He was providing the shell of control, while Lu Yan filled the most lethal core.
Purely lethal.
Five seconds later, the construct inside the light prison stopped struggling.
They stand in place, their outer shells peeling away, their cores extinguished.
It turned into a lifeless pile of scrap metal.
Qin Wuyi loosened his grip, slumped to the ground, and gasped for breath.
A feeling of weakness from depleted magical power swept over his entire body.
Lu Yan withdrew his hand, and the light prison, having lost its support, dissipated into specks of light.
He walked up to Qin Wuyi and extended his right hand.
Qin Wuyi looked at the hand, grabbed it, and used it to stand up.
"Good teamwork," Lu Yan commented.
"Is this what you meant by having the capital to fight our way up?" Qin Wuyi wiped the blood from her lips.
"This is just the entrance."
Lu Yan glanced at the time on the tactical terminal.
Three minutes have passed since Zhao Leiguang made the communication.
"Let's go."
