Chapter 1653 - 970: Flame Eagle, Unexpected! (Part 2)
The train emitted a braking sound.
The captain’s face changed, he put down the newspaper, feeling the car suddenly stop.
The stop was too abrupt, everyone was startled.
Of course, Pu Qinghan and Yi had already detected the disturbance ahead, just as the car stopped for a second.
That beautiful night rainforest suddenly erupted with terrifying flames...
The flames carried fire.
In an instant, they burned the tall, sturdy trees into ash, the fire was so strong that it turned Pu Qinghan and Yi a shade of pale, the crimson was dangerously close.
Sui Yi stood in front of the balcony, pinched his fingertips.
Wow~~~
Witch Power mixed with rainwater condensed, transformed by witchcraft, and suddenly turned into a substance as oily as a mirror, firmly sticking to the front of the train, the fire hitting this oil mirror, greasy, so much so that Green Bean almost thought he would die...
However, with eyes closed and then open, he found himself still alive, and alive to see the chaos ahead where the fire hit the tracks, revealing a dark hole in the burned woods, from which roars emanated.
"Flame Eagle! You needn’t flee anymore, or don’t blame us for killing you!"
"Surrender and there will be leniency."
Deep in the darkness seemed to be a person, pursued by many.
But this person was a bit faster and was running in front.
Sui Yi already saw the reality amidst the darkness first.
The black smoke entwining flames flew along the iron tracks, directly approaching them.
"Jie Jie, you trash, don’t utter big words without the skill to back it up..."
A figure clad in a black robe that swallowed the night, with skin, eyes, hair—all blazing red like a monster, yet he was human, a master of powerful flame techniques.
—— a master above Void-breaking.
He laughed sinisterly, the laughter resonating through the rainforest, the train launched a row of train guards, who felt a dual binding of body and soul upon exiting.
It seemed they saw a pair of eyes.
Red vulture eyes!
Everyone felt watched by such a pair of eyes, and in a moment....
The Flame Eagle slashed the air with his hand, a blood-red flaming centipede rapidly formed at his fingertips, which burrowed into the ground, then Sui Yi saw the ground ahead burst like magma, cracking and collapsing, if the tracks were destroyed, the whole train would plummet into the thousands of meters deep rainforest, not to mention the fierce exotic beasts below, the height alone would cause extensive casualties among the tens of thousands of passengers.
How ruthless!
Sui Yi frowned but did not act, as the Flame Eagle’s intent was very clear.
Those chasing in the dark made clear choices.
When the Flame Eagle dashed over from above the train.
Speed far surpassing Void-breaking, not even Pu Qinghan and Yi could capture his speed.
And Sui Yi only caught the trajectory.
—— the opponent was stronger, at least for now.
However, Sui Yi could see a gleaming light in the darkness, the piercing cold, also the frost’s glow, two white shadows darting into the ground, one directly slaying the Red Fire Centipede! One formed numerous frosts, as the ground collapsed, conjured rain within miles into huge ice blocks, forcibly forming an ice railway....
And another brilliant peerless ice light shot through the sky, blooming splendidly with blizzard frost behind the Flame Eagle, transforming this rain-soaked rainforest into a frosty world....
Yet, the Flame Eagle still managed to escape into the rainforest darkness, fleeing farther under the cover of the woods, the master did not press down the ice light, but let the storm convey orders...
"Ensure this train reaches its destination for inspection, maintain citizen safety until the track is repaired."
"Yes!"
Two masses of cold air spread from the ground, forming two white-clothed youths, heading towards the departing ice light, waving a hand, "Can it still start?"
The captain was frightened, only responding when the question repeated: "Yes, yes, not sure if sir is..."
"Ice Spirit Guard under Ice Gleam District’s government military, official business, no further questions, proceed!"
"Yes, yes"
The captain had been scared stiff, not solely due to the terrifying attack, but also the opposing party’s imposing presence.
The train restarted.
Green Bean sat on the ground, wiped away forehead sweat, secretly thankful that they narrowly escaped with their lives.
Unaware of Pu Qinghan and others’ alarm.
"Just now, the one called Flame Eagle, is a Cloud Ascendant Level master?"
"The leader chasing him is also a Cloud Ascendant master."
Cloud Ascendant, this is Cloud Ascendant.
Yi leaned against the wall, gazing at the episodes of frost passing by again, seeing the two Ice Guards split, one escorting the train as it left, the other stationed at the rupture to ensure the ice fracture would be supplemented, preventing the next train from falling....
"The other two Ice Guards are Fifth Level Void-breaking" Sui Yi took a sip of water.
"Ice Gleam’s government military Ice Spirit Guard, quite a background."
Equivalent to the ruling class’s highest Military Department.
No wonder they are so strong.
It’s unsure what the Flame Eagle’s background is, causing the government to pursue.
Not to kill.
"A person of intelligence value....maybe belongs to an organization, knows personnel lists or special information." Yi was sensitive to these matters.
Anyway, they were both unlucky and lucky.
—— Unlucky because they quietly earned a living, yet upon boarding the train encountered a once-in-a-lifetime situation, lucky because the government military is disciplined, principled, not disregarding these ’commonfolk’.
"That Ice Guard still remains outside, further investigations are likely....be cautious."
Sui Yi already dispelled magic traces, but guessed if pursued, traces could be found, though such matters are not primary, so long as they don’t reveal too much, the opposing party wouldn’t continuously cling.
Two Shichen later.
The door outside the compartment was knocked.
Green Bean glanced at the door.
The others looked at Sui Yi.
With pen in hand, Sui Yi raised his eyes.
"Open the door."
Green Bean opened the door.
The Ice Spirit Guard stood outside, beside the conductor.
