Chapter 744: Taking to the Skies

Zhang Yi's heart stirred as he adjusted his microphone to amplify his voice across the entire battlefield.

"In twenty minutes, the Reincarnation Squad from neighboring Linhai City will arrive!"

"We just need to hold out for twenty minutes, and you'll lose for sure!"

"So we won't fight you desperately—because victory is impossible for you!"

Psychological warfare was key.

He wanted to instill urgency in both the Tianlong Pirate Crew and Moon of Corrosion members.

Unexpectedly, Phoenixin Ren shouted coldly: "Then we'll just have to kill you faster! We won't give you any chance to regroup!"

Phoenixin Ren moved like a dragon, darting toward Zhang Yi with lightning speed.

Ten fire crows formed a massive cage in the air, blocking all possible escape routes.

Zhang Yi drew White Owl and began firing at the crows.

The Sacred Silver bullets possessed demon-breaking properties, offering some countermeasure against such creatures.

Bang! Bang!

Two shots, two crows dispersed into nothingness upon impact.

But the momentary delay allowed other crows to close in.

Three fire crows attacked simultaneously from different directions, completely surrounding him.

"What the hell are these things?"

Zhang Yi had no choice but to deploy the Absolute Barrier Between Two Realms to absorb the attacks.

The three phoenix-like creatures dissolved upon entering his Dimensional Space, transforming into bloody mist.

An intensely uncomfortable sensation gripped Zhang Yi's heart.

He clearly felt his Dimensional Space being corroded!

Like three drops of filthy water contaminating pristine seawater, rapidly spreading!

Worse, this wasn't energy-based damage but more like an ability toxin—impossible to expel!

Only the vastness of his Dimensional Space prevented total collapse.

But sustained attacks like this would eventually seal his dimensional gate.

"So this is what killed Deng Shentong!" freewebnσvel.cѳm

Even someone as powerful as Deng Shentong couldn't resist this corrosive ability toxin.

It was essentially toxic fire fueled by supernatural energy!

"Can't take these head-on!"

Zhang Yi remained calm—this amount couldn't shut down his space yet.

But continuous exposure would inevitably disable his ability.

Yet without opening the dimensional gate, he couldn't face Phoenixin Ren's close-quarters assault.

These thoughts flashed instantly as reality allowed no hesitation.

Phoenixin Ren charged with an entire flock of fire crows.

Zhang Yi's left hand flicked, producing another White Owl pistol.

Aiming at Phoenixin Ren, he unleashed a twenty-times accelerated shot!

Phoenixin Ren likewise dodged the hypersonic bullet with an aerial roll.

Seizing this moment, Zhang Yi pressed a button on his wrist.

His Deng Group-specialized captain-grade combat suit expanded at the back, revealing powerful thrusters.

With blue flames erupting backward, he rocketed skyward like a missile!

This technology had existed for half a century.

Originally developed for infantry combat.

But humans proved too clumsy in aerial mobility.

Deploying such equipment just made soldiers easy targets, leading to its obsolescence.

Except in one scenario—when the user needn't fear enemy snipers.

Someone like Zhang Yi, with his Absolute Barrier, perfectly suited this flight system.

He'd long pondered creating a sniper's vantage point on flat terrain.

His visit to the Deng Group provided the answer—flight capability!

So he'd requested their tech department to modify his suit accordingly.

The implementation was simple.

Though extreme cold increased energy consumption, one hour of flight posed no issue.

Thus, an extraordinary spectacle unfolded on the battlefield.

Amidst the ground melee, one figure suddenly shot skyward, leaving the fray behind.

Even Phoenixin Ren gaped upward in shock.

No matter his speed, he couldn't leap high enough to attack Zhang Yi midair.

"Bastard! What's the point of flying so high?"

Phoenixin Ren grinned viciously.

"If you don't come down, I'll just slaughter your precious teammates!"

From his aerial vantage, Zhang Yi surveyed the ant-like figures below.

Only his tactical visor let him discern individual features.

The entire battlefield lay mapped beneath him.

Any gunfire aimed his way got absorbed into his Alternate Dimensional Space.

Then his gaze locked onto a perfect target—

Takeuchi Mayumi, hiding behind a low hill.

"Found you!"

Before dying, Deng Shentong had relayed crucial intelligence to Blizzard City HQ.

Takeuchi Mayumi possessed future-sight capabilities.

This explained how Phoenixin Ren could pinpoint Deng Shentong's location and attacks even when deprived of his five senses.

Meaning—to kill Phoenixin Ren, Mayumi had to die first!

Zhang Yi's right hand flicked, storing White Owl in his dimensional space.

Then he drew his signature weapon—the massive sniper rifle, Thunderbolt!

"Ronin! I'm killing your shrine maiden!"

Zhang Yi laughed loudly.

Phoenixin Ren had been moving to attack the Celestial Hound Squad members.

But Zhang Yi's declaration froze him in his tracks.

His intel confirmed one thing—Zhang Yi was a god-tier marksman with extreme-range sniping capability!

Mayumi had to remain near the battlefield.

Only then could she apply her [Blood Bestowal] ability to Phoenixin Ren.

This power let the recipient see all enemy movements within a five-second future window from their perspective, enabling preemptive counters.

Otherwise, he'd never have brought her to the battlefield.

Losing Mayumi wouldn't just cripple Phoenixin Ren's combat power.

It would reduce Moon of Corrosion to a second-rate team.

By Blizzard City's ability metrics:

With Mayumi's [Blood Bestowal], his ability index reached a terrifying 9,300 points!

But losing that five-second precognition would plummet his rating to 8,500 points.

Any captain-level opponent could easily defeat him then!

Thus, Zhang Yi had seized his Achilles' heel.
