Chapter 728 - 449: Victory with Every Punch, Exploring the Covenant
"Did he actually break through it?"
With flickering eyes, Nangong Ling found it hard to accept.
She knew Chen Feng was not weak and knew he could withstand her full-force attack; otherwise, she wouldn’t have resorted to such methods.
However, such a fierce and unhesitating violent counterattack was beyond her expectation.
Crash!
No answer came, only a red-gold flame pillar soared into the sky.
The wall of flame unfolded in synergy, encircling the sky and distorting space, sealing his sun-god-like silver figure nearby.
Immediately after.
"Very impressive ability."
A deep voice echoed, and the black trench coat fluttered with the wind.
The fractured glazed crystal was tempered by the red-gold flame, returning to perfect condition, while the golden gang qi that extended a foot away quietly contracted, sticking close to the body surface.
Crack!
Unscathed, Chen Feng clenched his right fist, and the explosive sound of air reverberated in everyone’s hearts.
"It would be rude not to reciprocate."
"Now...."
With their eyes locked, a flicker of red-gold flame flashed in his eyes.
A chill suddenly rose in Nangong Ling’s heart, and she immediately activated her ability, intending to retract all the silver feathers.
"You..."
"It’s my turn now!"
Roar!!!
Red Tiger Flying, with a gaping maw, like a beast devouring the sky.
A pillar of flame shot up from its mouth, carrying the scent of magma.
Buzz!
In an instant, Nangong Ling’s expression turned serious.
The silver feathers scattered around the sky island trembled for a moment, then rapidly retreated, transforming back into a silver torrent.
Hundreds and thousands of swirling arcs appeared across the entire sky, forming lingering streams of feathered airflow.
Until the end.
Boom!!
The flame pillar from Red Tiger Flying’s breath was blocked by the silver torrent, instantly evaporating a large area of air.
Wisps of white mist spiraled upward as if the crisis was averted, yet there was no trace of joy on Nangong Ling’s face.
Because.
Upon looking, Chen Feng, who was supposed to be below, had disappeared, replaced by an electric arc of thunder light rapidly approaching.
Streams of radiant flames enveloped his body, and the life energy field that was no longer deliberately suppressed erupted violently.
In a flash, Nangong Ling’s heart grew colder, prompting her immediate judgment to retract her feathers and fold her silver wings.
The silver eagle-man, like the sun god, gradually disappeared, its massive wings covering everything, aiming to transform into an impenetrable defense.
The golden sunlight was blocked by her, and under the shadow, she seemed to merge with the sun.
In response.
Thud!!
The world shook, resonance reappeared.
A powerful heartbeat resounded in everyone’s ears, the storm and ultimate intent emerged synchronously, like a silent force field rapidly spreading, engulfing Nangong Ling.
"This..."
Her face changed slightly, feeling as if she were trapped in a quagmire.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t afford to struggle or move, as an even stronger mental shock transformed into a hammer strike, nearly breaking through her mental and spiritual defenses.
The silver wings that were meant to close suddenly paused; Chen Feng, already rushing towards her, was now right in front of her.
Crash!!
The world quaked, and the sky island trembled.
The high-altitude atmosphere suddenly lit up with a fiery blaze, as a meteor of several kilometers in size plummeted from the sky, its immense shadow engulfing the entire earth.
"This...."
Whether it was the secretly observing royal family or Chairman Li at the forefront of the many members below.
At this moment, everyone was shocked, looking up at the sky in awe.
The gigantic meteor, no smaller than the sky island, plummeted to the long sky, even dimming the sunlight it obscured.
The air evaporated, the void burned.
The immense pressure pinned everyone in place, and cracks began to appear on the White Jade Square, making crunching sounds.
The floating fragments in mid-air shattered one after another, while Nangong Ling, at the center, had her pupils contract, her expression somewhat dazed, feeling as if another humanoid silhouette appeared on Chen Feng.
The cold face perfectly overlapped with the young man, and the punch mark he unleashed resonated at the same frequency as the meteor above.
Her heart trembled enormously; she had sensed the threat of death.
Since becoming a legendary flying general, this was the first time.
Like a tidal wave, as if an abyss, it almost swallowed her whole.
Buzz!!
In an instant, ripples of the mind surged upward, wildly tangling the short hair cascading down her back.
The punch mark finally descended, and Nangong Ling’s eyes widened.
Boom!!!
The sky quaked, a conical shock wave spread from behind her, racing a thousand meters.
The entire high-altitude seemed split in two, clouds burst apart, with the lingering white airwave traces seemingly etched into the blue sky.
The super high-level protective barrier of the sky island fluctuated violently, like a gale of twelve levels raging, overturning everything.
The White Jade Square below was in ruins, the magnificent hall appeared aging and dilapidated, constantly trembling.
The heartbeat of every member felt nearly stopped, their faces drenched with cold sweat like rain.
Even some flying general-level transformed people and mechanical martial security guards secretly swallowed spit, letting it slide down their throats.
Buzz!
Until the end, within the sight of the crowd looking up.
The rampant gust suddenly froze, and all anomalies vanished without a trace.
Whether it’s the falling meteor or the dazzling, intense flames, they all converge and vanish at this moment.
"Looks like I won."
A calm voice echoed, deep and resonant, as the young man in a black trench coat turned his back to the sky, resembling a demon god.
The silver wings, yet to close, resembled a fan-shaped semicircle, the punch mark covered by flames, paused just half an inch from the forehead.
Their eyes met, gazing at Chen Feng’s confident and calm expression, and the punch mark that showed mercy, suspended at a mere inch.
Nangong Ling’s eyes flickered, appearing somewhat distracted.
Lost?
The thought flashed by, her heroic short hair now seemed a bit messy, forcibly swept by the previous powerful wind, fixed behind her.
The silver face mask slowly dissipated, revealing a delicate and somewhat lost expression.
Seeing this, Chen Feng’s face remained calm as he withdrew the punch mark and turned to leave.
He was already accustomed to the disappointment of each opponent.
Because in every battle, he would make the opponent feel despair.
However...
His figure slowly descended from the sky; the people on the ground below were still in a state of rigid shock, their expressions almost identical.
Chen Feng’s gaze flickered, he redirected his attention to the panel.
[Heart of Glory LV6: 36/100]
A Level Evaluator Legendary Flying General, though not as powerful as a Holy Shield Giant, still provided a certain amount of nourishment, allowing the Heart of Glory to grow a fragment.
Besides.
His gaze moved downward, looking at the Green Armor.
[Green Armor LV8: 11/100]
The progress similarly increased a fragment, mostly sourced from Nangong Ling herself.
In other words.
Under the threat of life and death.
Even such a cold, legendary Flying General would feel fear.
Tap!
The thought flashed by as his foot touched the ground.
The surrounding flames dissipated, with the glazed crystal and golden Gang Qi retracting simultaneously.
Chen Feng once again returned to his usual state, along with the life energy field and blood and flesh activity on his body, all rapidly quieting down at this moment.
Witnessing this scene, the transformed people and mechanical martial of the military and Chi General Guard all displayed complex expressions, barely recovering from their shock.
Although the data within the scanning module had reached the level of an ordinary person, no one would truly consider him an ordinary man.
Moreover.
Watching Chen Feng’s back slowly fade into the distance, fear quietly sprouted in everyone’s eyes, or transformed into a profound, unforgettable impression.
After all, the witnesses of Nanjiang’s Black Tide are few; no number of rumors could compare to seeing it firsthand, being more authentic and credible.
In an instant.
All doubts about the Honorary Major General quietly disappeared, even the most unyielding among them admired him.
"Major General...Chen Feng."
The gaze upwards, the Legendary Flying General was the same.
....
Half an hour later.
"Brother Chen, you really nailed it."
The flying device with the red maple leaf emblem departed the Sky Island, gradually drifting away above the Radiant Inner City.
Two military flying cars cleared the path for them, the Space Gate drew closer and closer, and Han Chao inside the cabin remarkably showed an excited expression, unable to maintain his usual composure.
"This time has really boosted the military’s morale; you should’ve seen the expressions of those Chi General Guard, hahaha."
"I reckon, they won’t forget this day any time soon...."
The teasing tone carried a sense of pride; the military security in the cabin mirrored this sentiment, feeling honored.
Chen Feng wasn’t bothered by it; he could roughly understand their feelings.
Even though Chi General Guard and the military both belonged to Chi Country’s core forces, due to different duties, there were some private tensions.
Especially regarding resource allocation, no matter how fair, there would certainly be dissatisfaction, leading inevitably to conflict.
Thus, as an Honorary Major General of the military, defeating Nangong Ling, who held a high position among the Chi General Guard, naturally had certain implications.
He shook his head, not paying much attention.
He knew these were power struggles and balances tacitly approved by Chi Country’s higher-ups.
Moreover, he and Nangong Ling were simply engaging in regular sparring out of personal interest, without excessive focus on this aspect.
Besides, the most important thing was.
"Three days later..."
His gaze flickered as the flying device drew closer to the Space Gate.
The majestic inverted pyramid floated coldly in the sky, surrounded by flickering electromagnetic waves.
Having lost, Nangong Ling kept her promise, later personally including him in the first batch of exploration lists.
The specific time was three days later, when they, along with some military and elite Chi General Guard members, would embark together.
This was his true reason for agreeing to spar.
Despite using interpersonal connections, he could have convinced the military to recommend him for the mission, but ultimately he wasn’t wholly a military person, at most a nominal member.
The first batch of exploration was risky; he would likely end up in the subsequent second or third batches.
After all, the exploration of the mutated pyramid might involve forbidden-level technology and secrets; otherwise, civilian forces wouldn’t be allowed entry until later batches.
This didn’t align with his anticipated ideas and plans.
"Hopefully, everything will go smoothly by then."
His gaze flickered as Chen Feng stared at the massive outline of the pyramid.
Whether the Divine Attribute Fragment truly exists is unknown, but as long as there’s a possibility, he wants to attempt it.
He only hopes it won’t be a fruitless endeavor.
Buzz!
Immediately, the flying device moved away.
The inverted pyramid gradually disappeared from view, once again concealed in the void by interfering electromagnetic fluctuations.
The enormous Space Gate slowly passed through, and the group completely left the Radiant Secret Realm.
