Chapter 1539: Chapter 872: Raiding Yangshan for the Sealing Rune
The three of them finished their discussion and quickly arrived near Yangshan Island.
“This is Yangshan Island?” James swept his gaze over the few Floating Islands on the floodwaters below, then looked at Molly.
Molly nodded slightly and said, “Mm, that Liang Yuan lives on one of those islands, and there are another five Floating Islands up in the sky.”
“Originally there were two Floating Islands there, which were actually the first ones we developed, but later they were taken from us.”
Jix sneered. “Then Jin Shirong attacking them is what they deserve.”
James said in a deep voice, “Then according to the original plan, we first see if we can lure him out.”
“Once he’s out, I’ll make a move and restrain him, put him into ‘Silence’ so he can’t use any Superpower.”
“Then you two join forces, go in together, and see if we can capture him.”
“If we manage to catch him, we’ll first discuss whether we can make a deal. We can’t afford to make more enemies now.”
“Since Jin Shirong has already formed a feud with their Yangshan side, we can try to win him over.”
Jacks and Molly both nodded slightly.
This was the plan the three of them had worked out along the way.
The first priority was to make sure they could get the Sealing Rune.
Only then would they think of a way to establish a cooperative relationship with the other party.
“Then let’s get ready to move. Molly, how’s your injury?” Jacks looked at Molly and asked first.
Molly said, “Relax, I’m at least a gene recombination–level Superpower User. This bit of flesh wound has long since healed.”
For a Superpower User at gene recombination level, unless it was a fatal wound, ordinary external injuries could be rapidly mended by controlling genes after entering Elementalization.
Of course, if an arm was directly chopped off, that kind of injury wouldn’t be so easy to recover from.
Even with gene recombination, it was very hard to regenerate missing parts.
Unless one was a Superpower User with an extremely strong regeneration ability.
Jix nodded. “Good. Then the two of us will follow the plan and go attack one of his Floating Islands first.”
“We’ll definitely be able to draw him out. When the time comes, James, you make your move and restrict his ability, then we all pile on and capture him in the shortest time possible.”
“After that, whether we force him to hand over the Sealing Rune, or get him to cooperate with us, can be decided later.”
Molly nodded slightly to show her agreement.
James also nodded, agreeing to this tactic.
With that, the three of them quickly flew up into the Thundercloud, passed through it, and arrived above the Floating Islands.
Molly’s gaze shifted; she pointed toward Hell Island and said in a low voice, “Over there—that Hell Island—was originally developed by us.”
Jix immediately said, “Then we’ll pick that one. Think of it as collecting a bit of interest.”
“James, don’t act yet. The two of us will go first. Molly, let’s go!” Jix called out, and at once he and Molly flew toward Hell Island.
On the Hell Island base side, radar detectors had long been set up.
As soon as Jix and Molly drew near, the alarms immediately blared.
After the Sprout War, the defenses of the several Floating Islands had all been strengthened.
The instant the alarm sounded, the defense department immediately raised the protective shield.
At the same time, someone quickly contacted the nearby Floating Islands and requested reinforcements.
Simultaneously, a large number of airships rapidly entered combat mode, taking off directly and leaving the Hell Island base.
Jix and Molly had just arrived when they saw that Hell Island’s defenses had already been rapidly deployed.
Jix couldn’t help saying, “What a fast reaction Speed!”
Molly was also startled, then said, “Maybe it’s because they’ve just gone through our last raid. The people of Yangshan are much more on guard now.”
“Who’s there!”
“This is the Yangshan Floating Island base, Hell Island. You’ve entered our airspace. Stop immediately!”
A warning blared continuously from the loudspeakers on the airships.
At the same time, a figure also shot out at high Speed.
He didn’t take any airship, flying directly through the air.
“Who are you, hiding your head and showing your tail? Come out!”
The newcomer looked left and right, scanning for targets.
Mist and clouds curled all around; before long, a figure stepped out from the vapor.
“Tsk tsk, who’d have thought, Wang Tian’an, you’re actually not dead, and still here.”
Jix was secretly surprised, staring in astonishment at the man who had flown out from Hell Island.
So the person who had flown out from Hell Island was actually the former guardian of Divine Tree Island, the ‘Insect Source Great Saint’—that Wang Tian’an!
Hearing that oddly accented Mandarin, Wang Tian’an was also taken aback.
He immediately raised his head to look at the newcomer, and his expression changed at once.
“Jix!”
“Heh, looks like you still recognize me. Wang Tian’an, since you still remember me, I won’t have to use force, right? Are you going to surrender yourself, or what?”
Jix asked blandly.
Wang Tian’an looked around and asked, “Just you? Has Director James come?”
“Wang Tian’an, you’re asking a few too many questions.”
Another bank of cloud dispersed, and the Witch Molly’s figure emerged from the shadows.
Wang Tian’an’s expression changed again.
“Witch Molly!”
“You… why are you here?”
Molly sneered. “What a joke. Isn’t this Hell Island property of Kerry Technology? Aren’t you a member of Kerry Technology?”
Jix said coldly, “Wang Tian’an, to think we trusted you back then and left this place in your care, and look what you’ve done.”
“Betraying the company, defecting to the enemy—you’ve got some nerve!”
Cold sweat streamed down Wang Tian’an’s forehead. He was an old hand of Carey Technology Company and knew all too well how terrifying the Combat Power of these two in front of him was.
But he had long since been bound by the Soul Imprisonment Rune, so betraying Liang Yuan was completely impossible.
Right now he could only grit his teeth and shout, “This is Linjiang City, down below is the territory of Yangshan Island. On what grounds is Carey Technology Company crossing provinces to seize someone else’s Floating Island here?”
“Jix, you don’t need to roar at me. I’ve already acknowledged Mr. Liang as my master. If you want to fight over this island, kill me first!”
Jix was instantly taken aback and said, “You’ve got some balls, daring to talk to me like that?”
Molly was also a bit surprised and said, “What kind of brainwashing soup did that Liang give him, to make him this obedient?”
Jacks was puzzled as well and said, “Don’t tell me that Liang also has some skill similar to ‘Blood Slave’? Can he directly Control people?”
“Grab him and we’ll know,” Molly said bluntly.
With that, her figure rolled, and in an instant a black shadow spread out at high Speed, then her entire body directly entered Genetic Form.
A massive demonic fetus took shape, turning into a terrifying giant beast that pounced toward Wang Tian’an.
Seeing this, Wang Tian’an’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly retreated while his body swiftly transformed, directly entering his gene recombination form.
In the next moment, he turned into a giant mantis!
This was Wang Tian’an’s gene recombination form: the Starry Sky Mantis!
The Witch Molly merely let out a cold laugh and said, “Wang Tian’an, your Starry Sky Mantis only carries a bit of Spatial Attribute attack. It has some Attack Power against others, but against me it’s completely useless.”
Swish!
Her figure flickered as she lunged at the Starry Sky Mantis at extreme Speed.
Wang Tian’an hastily dodged while swinging his scythe-like blade arms.
With a tearing sound, the void ripped open and countless cracks spread out.
Phase Rift Slash!
This strike was enough to cleave open the void itself, yet it didn’t evoke the slightest fear in Molly in her demonic fetus state.
She only sneered, her figure turning into a sky full of black shadows.
Almost in an instant she phased through the void; even when the Rift Slash landed on her, it merely devoured part of the shadow and couldn’t touch her true body at all.
In almost a single exchange, the Starry Sky Mantis was shrouded by the demonic fetus’s shadows.
In the next moment, the Starry Sky Mantis was instantly bound by the shadows, unable to move.
The demonic fetus raised its palm and chopped down fiercely!
“Shadow Blade!”
Whoosh!
The black shadows directly condensed into a Dark Attribute Energy Blade that hacked madly toward the Starry Sky Mantis.
Despair instantly surfaced on Wang Tian’an’s face, but then he thought of something and roared at the top of his lungs.
“Sealing Energy fighters, open fire—shoot at me!”
With his furious bellow, all the ships flying in the distance opened fire one after another!
Boom boom boom——!
One Energy Cannon shell after another exploded, detonating directly above Wang Tian’an’s head.
These shells, in the blink of an eye, turned into a sky full of Energy Runes.
The moment these Runes appeared, within the area covered by their light, Superpower Energy instantly fell into a stagnant state.
The Shadow Blade that was carving down toward the Starry Sky Mantis also bizarrely dispersed in that instant; the pure Dark Attribute energy reverted back to its original energy form, unable to construct a bladed attack form.
Even Molly in her demonic fetus form was forced at this moment to revert from the fetus state back to her original gene recombination form.
This scene left Molly utterly shocked.
“Sealing Array!”
Not far away, Jix suddenly reacted as well. He immediately looked toward those ships, wild joy flashing across his face.
“Seize the ships! There are Sealing Energy shells inside. As long as we take them, we can study them ourselves!”
James, who had still been hiding in the shadows, heard this and instantly snapped to attention as well!
Right—why bother capturing that Liang?
If they seized these ships and dismantled the Sealing Rune shells inside, wouldn’t they also obtain the Sealing Runes?
Thinking this, James stopped concealing himself and flew straight out of the Thundercloud!
He tapped the air, and an invisible ripple of energy instantly enveloped one of the ships.
In a flash, that ship seemed to lose all energy. With a loud hum, even its defensive shield collapsed and vanished.
The entire aircraft plummeted at high Speed!
James’s figure flickered; he grabbed the aircraft in one hand, then stuffed the pilots inside directly into his spatial gear as well.
On the other side, Jix was also rapidly capturing ships. His Speed was extremely fast; in almost the blink of an eye, he forcibly shoved three ships into his spatial gear.
At their level, spatial gear was no longer any rare item.
Spatial Attribute Mutant Beasts were not few, and naturally Spatial Runes weren’t lacking either.
Humans could of course uncover the secrets of Spatial Runes from the bodies of these Mutant Beasts, and then Forge spatial gear.
It was just that this technology was extremely complex, and Spatial Mutation Beasts were rare in number, so it couldn’t be widely used.
Only those with true strength could possess their own spatial gear.
In barely a few dozen seconds, the two of them working together had already snatched more than seven ships!
But it was precisely because these ships had launched the Sealing Array that Wang Tian’an managed to escape Molly the Witch’s killing encirclement.
“This is bad. Their real target is the Sealing Runes!”
Wang Tian’an dodged Molly the Witch’s attacks. Seeing James and Jix make their move, his face changed drastically.
Especially when he saw James, he finally realized that this assault absolutely wasn’t some accident!
The strongest of Kerry Technology—James!
He had actually come in person!
