Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1396 - 1361: Creating Opportunities

Originally worried that the female juvenile Metallic Dragon Yilan would create chaos for the rescue team, Chen Fei simply left it under the 'Life Tree' in the 'Boundary Pearl' Life Space to roam freely. This place is full of novelty, at least much more interesting than being with the rescue team that needs patience to gather intelligence and find opportunities for action.

When the 'Lord of the Sky' invaded the Life Space, following Chen Fei's instructions, Yilan hid in the tree canopy of the 'Life Tree', waiting for an opportunity.

Opportunities always favor those who are prepared (dragons).

The 'Lord of the Sky' and the Sagalis never expected a Metallic Dragon to be hiding in the Life Space, and under the unguarded circumstances, Yilan easily accomplished a coup, secretly replacing several mechanical constructs, creating an opportunity for Chen Fei to break away from the control of the 'Lord of the Sky'.

The Sagalis were not interested in the Metallic Dragons lacking spiritual power.

On the other hand, the Metallic Dragons under the control of the 'Lord of the Sky' could fill this gap.

However, the Sagalis evidently underestimated these inherently malevolent Dragons of Slaughter; the adult Metallic Dragons within the 'Halo' might have sensed a fellow dragon was up to some mischief, but as lazy and unscrupulous as they were, how could they be bothered with such trivialities?

As a result... the juvenile Yilan took advantage, successfully behaving shamelessly, and the reputation of the 'Lord of the Sky' was tarnished. Even Sagali Klato, silently pulling the strings, almost got caught. Had the attack intensity been ten times stronger, they might have succeeded.

As Chen Fei has always believed, major players often stumble at the hands of minor ones.

Therefore, before the battle begins, positioning oneself as insignificant trash is likely to gain the upper hand, as having nothing to lose makes one fearless, throwing moral integrity aside—just go all out!

"You still have abilities?"

The voices of the 'Lord of the Sky' and the Divine Breed, Sagali Klato, overlapped.

With the composure of the 'Lord of the Sky', one would not be flustered like this, but the Divine Breed had not encountered many such unexpected occurrences. He would not allow anything to go against his will to happen; if he declared Chen Fei to be an ordinary person again, Chen Fei must be an ordinary person.

Before Chen Fei jumped off the Mechanical Dragon, all the mechanical constructs brought by the 'Lord of the Sky' were torn to shreds by Yilan with lightning speed.

As long as they are made of metallic materials, the Metallic Dragon is their natural enemy.

"Hahaha! Uncle Lin, Klato, are your eyes blind?"

Chen Fei raised his right hand, the dim white light from the 'Spatial Branding' on the back of his hand penetrated the glove of the tactical armor, showing off proudly, suggesting even senior figures should not underestimate the younger generation!

The 'Spatial Branding' is the result of collaboration among dozens of ability users, not an active awakening, but a bestowed space-related superpower. 'One Man Army' might have lost the support of Metallic Psychic Power and consequently lost production and maintenance, but past reserves still remain, sufficient to fight at least until they are depleted.

If the Metallic Psychic Power were still present, he would be a Dual-Element Ability User, and with the strong spiritual power shared by the 'Life Tree', breaking through with force would make him a triple-element user. Simply stripping away one ability user is not enough to turn Chen Fei back into an ordinary person.

"Roar!~"

The Metallic Dragon flapped its wings, countless sharp edges composing its Blade Wing detached into long blades, transforming into lightning-like three-edged spikes, shooting toward the 'Lord of the Sky', who just broke through the explosion of the Thermobaric Bomb Fireball.

With the wind swirling around him, the 'Lord of the Sky' charged straight toward the female juvenile Metallic Dragon Yilan and Chen Fei, effortlessly deflecting the incoming three-edged spikes with invisible force.

After being parasitized by the Divine Breed Sagali Klato, the 'Lord of the Sky' displayed combat power far beyond Heavenly Position Light Element Warriors, no longer limited by the original Light Elemental Talent, additionally gaining skills of various Elemental Talents, making it even more troublesome.

"'Adam'! Come over here as fodder!"

Standing on the back of Yilan, Chen Fei shouted loudly, his voice transmitted through radio waves.

The 'Adam' in his mind, although gone with the Dog System, existed elsewhere, with copy numbers exceeding millions. The once headache for Blue Star human civilization, the Artificial Intelligence AI, is not so easily resolved by the Divine Breed.

Nearby the 'Life Tree', two airship battle groups began maneuvering.

Hundreds of tactical jets formed a massive fleet heading toward Chen Fei's location, occasionally firing blue and white particle beams to intercept the 'Lord of the Sky' severely chasing Yilan and Chen Fei.

These highly penetrative directional energy beam weapons dominate in long-range strike tactics; the 'Boundary Pearl' Life Space is Chen Fei's home ground, and even with the Metallic Psychic Power removed, the advantage persists.

"Yilan, head in that direction, at full speed!"

Naturally, Chen Fei would not choose to face the 'Lord of the Sky' and the Divine Breed Sagali head-on.

Previously stripped of Metallic Psychic Powers, the opponent thought he had no trump card, but next time, there won't be such a chance.

Carrying Chen Fei, the female juvenile Metallic Dragon obliged, zealously activating the talent 'Void Magnetic Field' to accelerate its dragon body rapidly, then looked back, puzzled, asking: "Not gonna fight them?"

It initially thought it would have to fight fiercely.

"Against the 'Lord of the Sky' and the divine breed 'Sagali'? Just you, a minor, and me, who's just lost his abilities?"

Chen Fei really wanted to use the Neanderthal tribe's inherited secret technique weapon "Blood Spike," which had become heavy in his hand, to give Yilan a good knock on the head, ensuring a loud clang.

Of course, fighting was necessary, but going head-to-head was the most foolish choice.

The reason Chen Xiao'er has survived in the Jianghu is by bullying the weak with the strong, using many to overpower the few; he's never once achieved a legendary victory of the few over the many or the weak over the strong. Even without a strategic advantage, he tries to create a local advantage. Crushing a stone with an egg and actually breaking the stone is something not even novels dare to write about.

Yilan: "..."

If it had been any other Metallic Dragon, it would have continued to howl for battle, but Yilan was the smartest among the current Metallic Dragons and naturally understood the strength comparison between both sides.

Chen Fei was right. Turning around to face the enemy was akin to sending themselves to their deaths.

Running away is an art; Chen Fei had consulted many people about it and had long anticipated this day would come for him.

Even if his Metal Elemental abilities were still there, he wasn't the type to confront a battle head-on. Running when outmatched is naturally the sensible thing to do, and there's nothing shameful about it.

"Do we keep running?"

Yilan was somewhat unwilling; running was against the combat instincts of a Metallic Dragon despite her reluctance to oppose her Dragon Knight.

"Of course not, we need to create an opportunity for a counterattack because this is our home ground. Whether it's the 'Lord of the Sky' or the divine breed 'Sagali,' since they're here, let them stay forever, becoming the nourishment for this land."

Chen Fei already had a plan in mind.

Even though "One Man Army" had already shown lethal shortcomings, it could still play a role for a while longer; all tactical units had become one-time consumables. Replenishment and maintenance relied entirely on the incomplete industrial resources within the "Boundary Pearl" Life Space, and the efficiency couldn't compare to Metal Elemental psychic powers.

"Counterattack? Great! I'll follow your lead!"

Yilan only heard the word "counterattack."

"Let's get you something to eat first!"

Chen Fei tossed out a tactical jet.

Then he flung a ton-class Thermobaric Bomb behind him. Even though it couldn't hurt the "Lord of the Sky" and the parasitic divine breed, the explosion cloud could at least obscure vision, allowing him to sneak in small maneuvers.

The tactical jet, propelled over a hundred meters by spiritual power, was on a direct collision course with the juvenile female Metallic Dragon. Excited, she exclaimed, "Can I eat this? Really? Can I?"

No Metallic Dragon could refuse food, especially such a delicately crafted "snack."

Without waiting for Chen Fei to respond, she protruded her intimidating dragon head, devouring in one big bite and eating voraciously while fleeing.

"Remember its shape; later, you should transform into its form."

Chen Fei knew about the evolutionist talent of Metallic Dragons. The capability varied in precision among Metallic Dragons, with some being very refined and others quite crude, differing from dragon to dragon.

"Piece of cake!"

Yilan didn't specify whether she was talking about her evolutionist ability or the tactical jet she was currently chomping down energetically on.

Using brand-new industrial products as dragon food, even the Silan Royal Family wouldn't be this extravagant. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown initiated the psi skill "Space Transmission" to arrive roughly a hundred kilometers outside the "Life Tree." For a tactical jet in full throttle, such a short distance was almost instantaneous, taking less than half a minute.

As soon as the fighter squadron entered visible range, hundreds of missiles simultaneously roared toward them. Id recognition allowed the juvenile female Metallic Dragon carrying Chen Fei to safely pass through the dense missile swarm. However, the tenaciously pursuing "Lord of the Sky" wasn't as lucky; his figure was engulfed in a series of exploding fireballs.

Even though held securely by an impenetrable Magic Shield made up of multiple Elemental Series energies, he still couldn't completely ignore the continuous shock waves.

Moreover, he had to divert attention to guard against the Element Annihilation Bombs that could appear at any moment. From the outside, the missiles with Element Annihilation Bombs and other short-range Combat Missiles looked almost identical. Only the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" knew which was which.
