In the sky, the Magnetic Sword exerted all its strength and quickly flew forward with Wang Che.
The green caterpillar looked back and could not help but feel even more nervous.
The densely packed Thousand-legged Flying Ants were like a swarm of locusts.
Moreover, they were getting closer and closer!
The green caterpillar felt that it might lose its life today.
It was too terrifying.
These Thousand-Legged Flying Ants’ soul power cultivation was not weak. Most of them had four to five hundred years of soul power cultivation.
Under the illness, their combat strength had increased by another level and was even stronger.
Against one or two, the green caterpillar felt that it would win.
It could beat two or three of them.
Below ten, the green caterpillar was very confident.
But so many…
Even ten of it combined could not win against them!
It immediately gave up.
“Ssss!”
The green caterpillar shouted at Wang Che as if to say something.
“Oh? You said that before you die, you want to hear a few more chapters… The requirement is not much, just ten chapters?”
Wang Che laughed.
This silly child.
“Don’t worry, you can’t even fly. If you die like this, won’t you feel embarrassed?” Wang Che said.
The green caterpillar thought about it and felt that it made sense. It was immediately motivated.
“I can’t die!”
Wang Che’s eyes flickered. He smiled and continued running…
——
At the same time, at a border military base at the border of Glory City.
In a room.
Slam!
The sound of palms hitting the table slammed out continuously.
“Who asked you to agree?! Tell me?! Who asked you to agree?!”
Zhao He was furious. He pointed at an officer in front and said, “Who is he? Do you know? You agreed? He’s still a student! A student who has just awakened his martial soul! You want him to restrain those Ghost Disciples and the Thousand-legged Soldier Ants?”
“He’s Wang Batian, I know.” The officer opposite him said in a low voice, “It’s precisely because I know and he suggested it that I agreed. He’s a young hero, a genius, not an ordinary student.”
“Bullsh*t!” Zhao He was angered to the point of laughing, “No matter how f*cking genius he is, he still has to be given time to develop! Can’t you see the situation!”
As he spoke, Zhao He became even more furious.
He had not been this angry in a long time.
The West Peak Continent knew that the Ghost Disciples would attack.
Even the attack on the maglev train was expected.
However, the West Peak Continent did not expect this attack.
“But Senior Li told us that if it’s his request, we must definitely fulfill it.” The officer continued.
“Blockhead Li is the biggest idiot in your West Peak Continent’s military.”
Zhao He was so angry that he could not speak, “He was the one who discovered this genius. Great, he’s going to be the reason we’re losing this genius too. I told him to send someone to fetch him privately. Look what happened…”
“Chief Zhao, when Senior Li told us, we asked as well,” the officer explained, “Wang Batian said that he requested it himself.”
When Zhao He heard this, he was slightly stunned. After a few seconds of silence, he roughly understood.
“Where’s that Blockhead Li?” Zhao He asked.
“On another maglev route, the Ghost Disciples were obviously prepared this time… They attacked a total of six complicated routes. With our experience in fighting the Ghost Disciples and the analysis of the other war zones, only a few of them sneaked into the wilderness this time. With so few people, I thought they would sneak into the maglev train and threaten it. Therefore, every train was strictly guarded… They were not given a chance to sneak in.”
“But we didn’t expect that they would not do so this time. They actually spread Black Blood Cancer in the soul beast group and used the soul beast group that had fallen ill to block and attack the maglev train… Very powerful soul beasts appeared in the soul beast group on several routes.”
“We need many high-level Contract Soul Masters to help and suppress it. The high-level Contract Soul Masters on our side also immediately went to save it… As for Skyheart City, the situation happened last. When we obtained news of the situation, there were no high-level Contract Soul Masters on our side anymore. We could only transfer them from the base headquarters. It only required a certain amount of time.”
A high-level Contract Soul Master referred to a Contract Soul Master below level 70 and above Level 50.
“How much longer until the rescue team arrives?” Zhao He continued to ask.
“It’ll take at least 20 minutes.”
The West Peak Continent was vast.
To be precise, it was tens of millions of square kilometers of the Eastern War Zone.
Just the West Peak Continent alone was close to 8.6 million square kilometers.
Of the 33 cities, each one did not cover a large area. They were very far apart from each other.
Therefore, one could only imagine how vast and complicated the wilderness was.
Even a high-level Contract Soul Master would need some time to reach the wilderness.
As for Contract Soul Masters above the high-level, most of them were in important positions and had important matters to attend to.
They would not be transferred away easily.
Zhao He’s heart sank.
He knew that there were actually city guards and city inspectors in Glory City.
There was also the special army of the West Peak Continent, the Tower Peak Army.
Among them, there were a large number of high-level Contract Soul Masters.
But the first two were used for city defense and security.
Glory City was the continental city. These troops could not be transferred away easily. Otherwise, if there was chaos in the city, with the strength of Contract Soul Masters, that would be devastating.
If the Ghost Disciples took the opportunity to sneak in, it would be even more terrifying.
The Tower Peak Army was guarding the West Peak Continent’s Soul Earth. It had the strongest combat strength and had a Heavenly King guarding it.
Not to mention the high-level Contract Soul Masters, even the middle-level Contract Soul Masters could not be mobilized casually.
They all had their own responsibilities.
Unless there was a major crisis that concerned the safety of the city or the Soul Earth riot.
Otherwise, it was impossible to mobilize.
How cunning were the Ghost Disciples?
They were very familiar with the rules of the various war zones.
Without attacking all of them, they chose six routes.
They knew that by doing this, the extent of the situation would be raised. Only the border army base guarding the border would move out.
It was very clear.
“Clearly, their final goal is still Wang Batian.”
Zhao He whispered, “No, it’s too late to wait for your headquarters to send someone over! I’ll go personally.”
As the head of the Martial Soul Research Department, his main goal was to study martial souls.
However, he was also a high-level Contract Soul Master with incredible combat strength.
High-level Contract Soul Masters were not registered in the war zone.
Otherwise, even high-level Contract Soul Masters of large corporations could not casually enter the wilderness and participate in combat without the authorization document and orders.
“Chief, you can do this. It’s just against the rules. Moreover, you’re from the Martial Soul Research Department.”
The officer said, “Moreover, I believe that Hero Wang Batian, who crushed the Ghost Disciple’s scheme last time, can still do it this time.”
“Do you trust him so much?” Zhao He frowned.
He did not know much about the Floating Forest.
The situation inside was very complicated.
Currently, it seemed that only Blockhead Li knew the entire situation and had sealed the information.
Even he did not know the exact situation.
“Senior Li trusts us. Not only do we trust him, but we also admire and respect him.” The officer nodded heavily.
Zhao He thought about it and decided to go take a look.
If this precious genius was gone, his heart would ache.
“Zhao He, you don’t have to go.”
At this moment, a figure walked in.
“Director He? Why are you here?”
Zhao He looked at the person and was slightly stunned.
It was the person in charge of the West Peak Continent’s soul pet research base.
“Of course I came to take a look because I knew about this.”
The female professor called Director He was still wearing a white research coat. Her hair was very messy, but her voice was very loud and clear, “Black Blood Cancer not only causes the soul pet’s soul power cultivation to abnormally increase, but when a soul pet in the wilderness falls into an illness, it can also easily evolve. After the soldier ant evolves, it can fly.”
“I know that. What do you mean?” Zhao He frowned.
“Zhao He, it looks like your brain is rusty. What I mean is, since Wang Che step[ed up, with the anger of those Ghost Disciples, he can indeed delay for a period of time.”
“However, there’s only two outcomes. Either he stalls until the rescue team arrives and comes back alive, or you won’t even find the corpse in the wilderness. It’s useless for you to go alone.”
Zhao He was silent.
“It’s just that, I looked at the staff and saw a name.”
“Who?”
“Lin Xi.”
“Her?” Zhao He was stunned as if he had thought of something.
The female professor continued, “This young lady is very interesting. With her background, the Blazing Sun Club or the Lin family should have arranged for a car to pick her up and protect her. She actually didn’t do that and instead rode the maglev train to Glory City with the students of Skyheart City.”
“You mean that the Blazing Sun Club or the Lin family will definitely arrange for experts to secretly protect her?” Zhao He understood and reacted quickly, “So, there must be a powerful Contract Soul Master above the high-level protecting the route of the maglev train?”
“What else?” The female professor smiled.
“Why did she do this…” Zhao He did not understand. He suddenly had a thought and looked at the female professor, “Are you saying this because of Wang Che?”
“It’s hard to say. I’ve seen her before. I checked the information and discovered that she was defeated by Wang Che in the Enlightenment Cup and suffered a setback from him. I’m guessing that she won’t just watch Wang Che die like that. At the very least, she has to defeat Wang Che first to prove herself.”
“Hearing you say that, I feel a little more at ease.” Zhao He sighed in relief, “However, there’s a precondition: Does Lin Xi know that Wang Che is Wang Batian? Does she know that the Ghost Disciples will attack at this time?”
“Who knows? However, she should be able to guess a little, but can’t confirm it. Sitting on the maglev train together might just be a guarantee. This young lady is very smart.”
Zhao He felt a little more at ease and smiled.
——
At this moment, on the other side.
In the wilderness.
Wang Che had already been using Sword Kinesis Flight for more than ten minutes.
He was running in the opposite direction. In comparison, it would definitely take longer for the rescue team to arrive.
At this moment, the Thousand-legged Flying Ants had almost caught up.
They were less than four to five hundred meters away from Wang Che.
If he continued flying, he would be caught in a minute or two.
The Magnetic Sword was very fast now.
However, no matter how fast it was, compared to the thousand-legged flying ants that had evolved with 500 to 600 years of cultivation base, it was still inferior.
The situation was getting more and more dangerous.
“Wang Che! You’re flying around like a headless fly. It’s useless!”
At this moment, the Ghost Disciple shouted sternly, “Last time, you ruined our plan. Let’s see where you can run to this time! Die!”
He roared at the conch, his voice seeming to penetrate thousands of meters.
Like a divine sound, Wang Che, who was a few hundred meters away, heard it clearly.
At this moment, even if the rescue team came, it was impossible to save him!
As soon as he finished speaking, the weather gradually turned gloomy, as if it represented something…
Wang Che suddenly stopped running.
“Indeed, it’s time to die.” Wang Che nodded.
He looked up at the sky.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang in the sky!
The heavy rain came as it pleased!
Dense raindrops fell from the sky…
The Ghost Disciple did not hear what Wang Che said, but when he stopped, he knew.
This kid had probably given up.
After running for so long, if that Magnetic Sword did not have any soul power replenishment medicine, it would probably have stopped long ago.
“It’s finally here. The weather forecast’s accuracy is getting worse and worse.”
Wang Che shook his head.
He fumbled for something in his arms, took out a lightning rod and quickly extended it.
“Spit Thread.” Wang Che said to the green caterpillar.
The green caterpillar rustled a few times and spat out a scorching thread that connected to the lightning rod.
Wang Che threw the lightning rod into the sky.
Then, he squatted down and touched the Magnetic Sword.
“Today, I’ll teach you an ordinary sword technique. I’ll use it this time. Next time, you’ll use it yourself.”
“Ssss!”
The Magnetic Sword was very excited.
“Sword Skill: Heavenly Lightning Slash!”
Just as he finished speaking, suddenly, a bolt of heavenly lightning as thick as a bucket struck down from the sky…
