Chapter 96: Cannon Fodder as a Shield!
"You're Elder Long's granddaughter, that's right!"
A rare smile appeared on Su Chen's face as he looked at the girl in front of him.
"Focus on enhancing your abilities; you will surpass one person in the future."
He paused for a moment, then uttered a name.
"That person's name is Liu Yiyi!"
Long Qingxuan's Eye of Cause and Effect and Liu Yiyi's Angelic Prophecy are both rare prophetic abilities, but they represent two completely different paths.
The Pangu System had already completed its analysis of Liu Yiyi's information.
His superpowers have broken through to the SS level, his strength has increased several times over, and he has broken free of his shackles.
The spiritual imprint he once regarded as a guarantee had long since vanished under the onslaught of the raging demonic energy.
This means that Liu Yiyi has completely escaped his control.
"Yes, I will work hard and I will definitely surpass her!"
Long Qingxuan had no idea who Liu Yiyi was.
But she could feel the weight in Su Chen's words, and nodded with all her might, making sure to remember the name.
The reorganization of the Fire Seed Base is nearing completion, and any disobedient troublemakers have been thoroughly eliminated.
The remaining superhumans, stimulated by the new system, unleashed unprecedented enthusiasm.
After Su Chen finished handling the follow-up matters, the next step was to prepare for the trip to Kunlun Mountain.
He also mobilized some technological resources for this operation.
The three "Kuafu"-level tracking robots are able to silently scan and draw a three-dimensional terrain map covering an area of hundreds of miles.
Furthermore, Xing Tian and Hou Yi are lurking in the shadows, ready to launch devastating long-range attacks at any time to prevent any accidents.
In addition, there is a newly developed "barrier-breaking" device specifically designed to address the ancient energy restrictions.
Everything is ready.
His original plan was to lead an elite squad, but the latest intelligence indicates that many powerful individuals have already taken notice.
A large number of people can actually make them easier targets.
The plan needs to be changed.
Su Chen dialed Elder Long's number: "Elder Long, the rest is up to you."
He looked at Lin Xue beside him.
"Lin Xue, come with me."
"The environment of the Jade Pool Secret Realm is of great benefit to your ice-type abilities."
Su Chen didn't hide anything and directly pointed out the key point.
"There is a thousand-year-old ice lotus in the secret realm that can help you reach SS rank."
Lin Xue's breathing quickened, filled with surprise.
She had been stuck at S-rank for a long time, while the insurmountable barrier of SS-rank had trapped countless prodigies.
The opportunity is right in front of you!
Her fighting spirit was instantly ignited.
All preparations were completed in a very short time, and Su Chen and Lin Xue boarded the "Kunpeng" stealth transport plane.
The aircraft disappeared into the sky, silently flying towards the majestic Kunlun Mountains.
Shortly afterward, the transport plane hovered over the outer area of the Kunlun Mountains.
The thin air and biting winds indicate that this place is a no-go zone for humans.
Just as they were preparing to disembark and venture deeper into the area, a piercing alarm suddenly rang in Su Chen's mind.
[Alert: A fighter jet has been detected approaching at high speed!]
On the radar interface of the Pangu system, a striking red dot is streaking across the sky at an astonishing speed, and its flight path and target are remarkably consistent with theirs.
Su Chen stopped moving.
The speed and direction of the approaching person clearly indicate their identity.
It's Liu Yiyi!!!
Her purpose in coming here was equally clear.
The next second, a magnificent fighter jet tore through the clouds and hovered not far from the "Kunpeng".
The hatch slid open silently.
A figure slowly emerged, unfurling two pairs of wings, one black and one white, with an aura of holiness and depravity strangely merging around her.
Liu Yiyi hovered in mid-air, looking down at Su Chen at the cabin door with a playful and provocative expression.
"Consultant Su, what a coincidence! Are you also visiting Kunlun Mountain?"
Su Chen raised his head, looked back at her with an expressionless face, and spoke without a trace of warmth.
"Alliance Leader Liu is certainly well-informed."
"However, Kunlun Mountain has been the territory of the Dragon Kingdom since ancient times, and outsiders are not welcome to set foot there."
In one sentence, Liu Yiyi was directly categorized as an "outsider," and the warning was undisguised.
Liu Yiyi sensed the barb in Su Chen's words, and a hint of displeasure swept through her heart.
There was a time when she didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of this man.
But it's different now.
Her SS-level strength gave her unprecedented confidence.
Behind her, in the cabin, more than a dozen powerful auras were faintly visible, each reaching the S-level.
They were all surrounded by the same demonic energy as Liu Yiyi.
This is the source of her current confidence—a core member of the Angel Alliance.
Liu Yiyi suddenly dispelled her imposing aura and smiled sweetly.
"Why does Advisor Su have to keep people at arm's length? As far as I know, quite a few impressive people have come as well."
She then changed the subject and extended an olive branch.
"It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy, isn't it?"
"Our goal is the same: to purify the world like a pure lotus. Why don't we join forces temporarily to clear out those troublesome outsiders, and then we can each rely on our own abilities? What do you say?"
Su Chen sneered inwardly.
Using oneself to deal with other masters, and then reaping the benefits?
That's quite a clever scheme.
He certainly wouldn't fall for it.
But on the surface, he pretended to be deep in thought and remained silent for a moment.
Lin Xue watched him nervously from the side, not understanding why Su Chen hesitated.
Finally, Su Chen slowly raised his head, met Liu Yiyi's expectant gaze, and uttered two words.
"Can!"
They decided to play along, as they were just looking for a scapegoat to take the fall.
Upon hearing this answer, Liu Yiyi's smile instantly became genuine, carrying a hint of smug satisfaction at her successful scheme.
"Advisor Su is indeed a smart man!"
And so, the fragile verbal agreement between Su Chen and Liu Yiyi was reached.
Both sides tacitly understood each other and maintained a wary distance, advancing into the depths of the Kunlun Mountains from the left and right respectively.
And after they set off
From the other two directions, two elite squads silently entered this ancient mountain range.
After the apocalypse, Kunlun Mountain was no longer the sacred mountain known to mortals.
The resurgence of spiritual energy has completely altered the ecology here, and countless strange beasts recorded in ancient books have reappeared, becoming even more ferocious.
Various strange plants never seen before are scattered throughout the mountains and forests, posing a deadly threat at every turn.
This place is now an environment fraught with danger.
As soon as Su Chen and the others stepped into an ancient forest that blocked out the sky, the temperature of the surrounding air suddenly dropped.
"roar!"
Accompanied by more than a dozen roars filled with murderous intent, streaks of white lightning shot out from the shadows of the forest, surrounding them completely.
These creatures resemble tigers, but are much larger.
It was pure white, with a sharp, icy blue horn on its forehead, and its sharp fangs exuded a chilling aura.
A fourth-tier exotic beast, the saber-toothed ice tiger.
These beasts are known for their speed and sharp claws; even ordinary S-class ability users would have to temporarily avoid a group of them.
Lin Xue's icy power was instantly activated, and she was about to make a move when a figure moved even faster than her.
Liu Yiyi stepped forward first.
She needed to establish her authority, to make Su Chen reassess her value, and even more so, to let her subordinates see her absolute power after breaking through to SS level.
Suddenly, her black and white wings unfurled, and a terrifying pressure far exceeding that of an S-class being instantly enveloped the entire area.
The black wings fluttered gently.
shhhhhh!
Countless solidified shadow energies transformed into arrows, shooting out in all directions with a shriek that tore through the air.
Those saber-toothed ice tigers, known for their speed, had no time to react to this rain of arrows.
puff!puff!
The shadow arrows easily pierced their proud, tough hides, and the dozen or so ferocious fourth-tier beasts didn't even have time to let out a wail.
He was instantly shot to the ground, his body rapidly corroded by the dark energy.
In the chaos, several members of the Angel Alliance were unable to dodge in time and were accidentally injured by their comrades' attacks, letting out painful groans.
Liu Yiyi didn't even look, and the white wings behind her emitted a soft light.
As the light shone down, the wounds on the injured members healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their bodies, which had been eroded by the cold, returned to normal.
Destruction with one hand, healing with the other.
This bizarre ability drew the attention of everyone present.
The members of the Angel Alliance cheered wildly, looking at Liu Yiyi with adoration.
