"Since xenoplants are not banned like in the Outer Rim, they are quite common. Many civilians carry some on their bodies. Xenoplants like the 'Dragon Wing Device' that can fly are also quite common. Because it is not difficult to obtain, many 'Sky Pirate Groups' have emerged..."
"Now all the inner ring cities have basically issued a 'No-Fly Agreement'. Almost all flying objects that approach will be attacked without reason. Therefore, ordinary people who want to enter the inner ring have to go by land."
"If you want to enter the inner ring by land, you have to go back and forth, which is complicated and time-consuming. If you go from Qingcheng to Yuancheng, it will take at least three days to get there. It's very torturous."
Xue Jing tapped the armrest with his fingers and asked curiously:
"There's a no-fly zone agreement in place, so why can Dragon Core aircraft get in?"
Ning Yuantai took a sip of soda and explained, "It's not the Dragon Core aircraft that can go in, it's the Dragon Core aircraft belonging to the Sixth Agency that can go in..."
Xue Jing nodded: "I see."
"This plane is usually very useful and is rarely available, but the commander sent it out just to take you to the inner ring."
"They still have feelings for you and want you to officially join White Crow..."
Ning Yuantai whispered.
Xue Jing looked at the scenery outside the porthole and said with a smile: "I accept this favor. Forget about joining White Crow. It's good like this now."
Ning Yuantai winked and said, "I think so too. If you want to advance in martial arts with such powerful skills, you should enter 'Zhi Ge'."
While chatting, the plane kept flying towards the inner circle, and several hours passed unknowingly.
Ning Yuantai suddenly pointed out the porthole and said, "Brother Xue, look down."
Upon hearing this, Xue Jing looked in the direction Ning Yuantai pointed.
Although it was ten thousand meters in the air, through the clouds, one could vaguely see a hexagonal black building with an extremely large area located in the endless wilderness on the ground.
"That is the biological breeding farm at the junction of 'joint breeding'. From here, we officially enter the inner ring area."
As he was speaking, there were suddenly hurried footsteps and various commanding shouts outside the cubicle.
Xue Jing asked: "Why, what happened?"
Ning Yuantai said casually: "The inner ring is quite dangerous and we need to make some preparations. Don't worry, it's okay."
After hearing this, Xue Jing stopped asking questions.
Not long after, as if in response to what Ning Yuantai said, Xue Jing suddenly saw dozens of small black dots appearing in front of him through the porthole.
His eyesight was so strong that it was completely unreasonable. His pupils adjusted the focus slightly and he could see the small black dots clearly.
That's... a person.
Dozens of people, all riding floating objects that looked like motorcycles without tires, were flying towards the plane.
Their clothing was quite uniform, all wearing jackets and leather pants studded with metal studs everywhere. There were some traces of alien organs that did not resemble native human organs all over their bodies. They also had various high-tech-looking weapons on their backs that Xue Jing could not recognize.
"Tsk, these sky pirates, like dogs smelling shit, immediately surrounded us."
Ning Yuantai sighed.
Xue Jing looked at him expressionlessly.
"Ah, I'm not talking about you." Ning Yuantai immediately realized something was wrong and said quickly.
…
(I wanted to sleep for half an hour, but ended up sleeping for three hours. It was too late to update after I woke up. I’ll post this chapter first, and I’m still writing the rest)
Chapter 212: Open the hatch, I'll be back soon, the three-headed and six-armed Shadow Flame Demon
"Huh?" The cat lying on Xue Jing's thigh raised its head, raised its emerald-like vertical pupils, and stared at Ning Yuantai. The snake-killing spearhead on its left front paw popped out, and the silver-white claws emitted a deadly cold light.
It seemed that as long as Xue Jing gave the order, she would immediately take action to add some decoration to the face of this man named Ning.
However, her intention to take advantage of the opportunity to attack did not succeed. Xue Jing pressed her furry little head, not paying attention to Ning Yuantai's momentary slip of the tongue, and asked:
"Can it be solved? Do you need me to help?"
Ning Yuantai patted his chest and said confidently: "It's okay. Encountering the Sky Pirates in the inner ring is like going out to the convenience store next door to buy a pack of cigarettes. It's common and easy to deal with!"
As soon as he finished speaking, things that looked like transmitters on the left and right sides of the front of the plane suddenly lit up.
The light red glow condensed, making a 'bubububu' sound, and then with a bang, two beams of light red laser cannons were fired towards the sky pirates.
However, this overly conspicuous frontal attack did not work, and the sky pirates quickly scattered and avoided the two beams of light cannon.
Xue Jing looked at Ning Yuantai.
"Hmm? These sky pirates are quite experienced, but don't worry, just keep watching."
Ning Yuantai said confidently.
As soon as he finished speaking, countless missiles were fired from the wings of the Dragon Core Fighter, shooting towards the Sky Pirates with swaying fireworks.
These are unavoidable heat-seeking missiles. Each one is tightly locked onto its target and is extremely flexible. It can even turn around on the spot, making it impossible to dodge.
But this time, the Sky Pirates also had a way to deal with it. They opened a round hole on the front of each of their aircraft and emitted a round ball of red light from it.
Dozens of red light balls shot in all directions, and countless heat-seeking missiles immediately changed their targets and chased after the red light balls. None of them landed on any of the sky pirates.
"Strong heat-attracting flares?"
Ning Yuantai was stunned.
"How can a mere sky pirate group have such a thing?"
Xue Jing crossed his arms over his chest without saying a word. Maomao jumped onto the armrest of the chair and looked at the sky pirates outside the porthole.
They were raising their right hands and shouting something, and although no sound could be heard, they looked very excited.
"The missiles we use all have mature infrared imaging guidance technology. Ordinary heat-seeking missiles cannot interfere with tracking at all, but this kind of light missile that can instantly radiate a huge amount of infrared rays..."
Ning Yuantai frowned and said:
"Strange, even though this is a product from the last century, it still falls into the category of military supplies. A mere sky pirate group shouldn't have such a thing."
Xue Jing glanced at him and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Don't worry, there are elite soldiers from Bai Ya and Zhi Ge on the plane. They are all experts in air combat. This group of sky pirates will not be rampant for long."
Ning Yuantai scratched his cheek and spoke somewhat awkwardly.
Xue Jing folded his hands across his chest, tapped his arms with his fingers, shook his head, and stood up.
"Forget it. From what you said, there are quite a few strange things about this group of sky pirates. I'm afraid they have something to rely on... After all, the people on the plane were arranged here to pick me up. If there are any casualties, I will be embarrassed."
He spoke softly.
"Have someone open the hatch. I'll be right back."
Ning Yuantai was stunned for a moment, not daring to refuse, and immediately responded in a low voice: "Yes."
He reached for the small intercom on the wall next to him, pressed it, and ordered, "Open the hatch."
Xue Jing stroked the cat's head, told it to stay in its seat quietly, and then walked out of the cubicle.
More than twenty members of Bai Ya and Zhi Ge were standing by in the cabin corridor, waiting for combat orders.
"Master Jing."
"Master Jing?"
They looked at Xue Jing who came out and greeted him respectfully.
The members of the Special Service Department of the Sixth Agency, especially those from Bai Ya and Zhi Ge, basically all knew this legendary young man who had killed a pure-blooded dragon alone. They understood what it meant to accomplish such a thing, and therefore respected him very much.
Everyone involuntarily moved to both sides to make way. Xue Jing walked past them, smiled and nodded to them.
"Swish—" the cabin door slowly opened, and strong wind rushed into the cabin, blowing his medium-long hair.
He put his hand on the edge of the hatch and looked down.
The scenery from ten thousand meters above the ground was quite magnificent. Every few meters on the ground, there were some strange buildings that Xue Jing had never seen before.
Without looking any further, he jumped out of the plane and into the air.
He turned his body in the air using his core strength and faced the sky pirates in front of him.
Then, there was a crackling sound, and two sharp silver-white lightning dragon horns grew out from his forehead.
As the electric arc flashed, a silver-white thunder feather belt appeared around Xue Jing, like the feather robe of a god who controls heavenly thunder.
The black airflow also gathered on his body, igniting a raging black flame, and transformed into a black giant with only the upper body.
This time the giant has changed greatly compared to the previous one. It has three heads and six arms, all covered with heavy armor.
On the palms of the six arms, black flames began to condense, activating into six different weapons.
They are knife, sword, gun, stick, whip and bow.
From a distance, it looks like immortal figures in mythology are performing magic.
However, in terms of color, he looks more like a demon, with silver-white lightning wrapped around his body, just like a demon.
Dozens of sky pirates who were originally cheering excitedly suddenly saw this existence that looked not to be trifled with appear, and their voices suddenly stopped and became stuck.
"What…what is that?"
"giant?"
The sky pirates murmured in a daze.
But, before they could react, only the upper body of the dark demon flew towards them.
It was moving at an extremely fast speed, dragging colorful flames along the way. In just a blink of an eye, it appeared right in the middle of dozens of sky pirates.
A huge black sword that was more than ten meters long was swung out in the hands of the demon.
“Swish!!”
“Bang, bang, bang, bang—”
With one blow, it seemed as if even the void was cut apart. In the fan-shaped area where the long sword was swung, a strong airflow exploded, and a huge fan-shaped vacuum was rolled out in the clouds. Several sky pirates in the range, along with the aircraft they were sitting in, were instantly rolled into fragments of flesh and blood and mechanical wreckage.
At the same time, the other five arms of the demon also attacked one after another, with spears, iron whips, big sticks, sharp swords, giant bows... hitting the pirates around them respectively.
The light golden spear light swept across, the end of the iron whip produced a violent sonic boom, the big stick was like the legendary Dinghai Shenzhen that shattered upon touching it, and the giant bow had perfect prediction, each arrow could shoot down at least one air pirate, and at most could even shoot down three in a string like candied haws.
After just a brief encounter, the seemingly professional sky pirates suddenly started crying for their parents, with most of them killed or injured, and debris and body parts falling to the ground like rain.
“Ahhh!!”
"Fuck it, fire, fire!!"
The remaining sky pirates raised the various weapons on their backs and fired wildly at the dark three-headed, six-armed demon.
Lasers and live bullets of various colors hit the demon god, and there was some effect. The Shadow Flame Armor was shattered and many "wounds" with black flames were left on it.
After discovering that the attack was effective, the sky pirates became excited and continued to fire ammunition.
But then someone noticed that the attacks on the Shadow Flame Demon were getting fewer and fewer, and soon only a few bullet lines were left.
One of the sky pirates looked to the side in confusion.
Only then did he realize that among the dozen or so surviving pirates, only himself and the other person next to him were still there, the rest had disappeared.
Just as he was wondering, a colorful spiral trail of fireworks passed by him at high speed.
The next moment, the only companion left by his side was caught in the hand of a figure with a lightning dragon horn on his forehead and crackling arcs of electricity wrapped around his body.
His slender palms tightly grasped his companion's neck. With a click, flesh and bone fragments burst out. His companion's neck was squeezed into the thickness of sugarcane. He died on the spot and his whole body went limp.
The man just grabbed his companion's body and slowly floated in front of him, looking down at him, his calm silver eyes without any human emotions, only indifference and contempt.
"E..." The sky pirate opened his mouth, too frightened to utter a word. The gun in his hand slipped from his trembling palm and fell to the ground.
The pitch-black demon not far away turned into black flames and slowly disintegrated, revealing a light golden transparent humanoid 'pilot' inside.
Xue Jing looked at the pirate in front of him, curiously sized up his red cockscomb and the sunglasses on his face, and slowly said:
"Your look is pretty cyberpunk, but the technological content on your body is a little lacking."
The sky pirate quickly raised his hands: "Mercy, mercy!"
Ning Yuantai on the plane looked at the scene through the window, stunned.
