Join the ServerBai Mengqi, without question, found herself facing an unprecedented challenge.
The ongoing siege was not merely overwhelming in numbers; more crucially, these ability users fought with a terrifying, death-defying madness. Each strike was delivered with their full might, as if they had cast aside all concern for their own lives.
‘Have they all gone mad?’ Bai Mengqi wondered inwardly.
While she had encountered suicidal foes before, never had she faced such a multitude of opponents so utterly disregardful of their own existence.
Adding to Bai Mengqi’s predicament, these ability users were also supported by modern weaponry.
Every time she attempted to fly away from the battlefield, seeking to evade her frenzied attackers, the deafening roar of artillery fire would erupt around her.
Shells rained down incessantly. Though Bai Mengqi’s formidable cultivation allowed her to withstand these bombardments, each defense chipped away at her strength, leaving her increasingly exhausted.
“Boom! Boom!” The continuous artillery barrage echoed as Bai Mengqi maintained her spiritual barrier, desperately searching for an opportunity to break through.
She knew that if this continued, her power would eventually be depleted, leaving her in a desperate situation.
She had not yet achieved invincibility, which would allow her to resist such attacks without expending her own energy.
Thus, she resolved to disengage from the battle and seek an escape route.
Finally, after a successful counterattack, Bai Mengqi seized her chance.
Her figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light that soared into the sky.
However, she had barely flown a short distance when the roar of jet engines thundered behind her.
Two fighter jets rapidly gave chase, locking onto her as they unleashed another wave of fierce attacks.
The fighter jets moved with incredible speed, their bullets raining down on Bai Mengqi like a dense storm. The machine guns mounted on these aircraft were far more powerful than ordinary firearms, firing in continuous bursts.
Each successive impact against her protective spiritual energy made her situation increasingly difficult. Despite her swift reactions, she struggled to completely evade every attack while moving at such high speeds.
Bullets and shells created ripples across her defensive spiritual energy, and the specialized aircraft’s cannon fire caused her body to tremble slightly with each impact. The force was considerably greater than the previous direct bombardments.
‘Damn it, just how much influence does Abe Haruha wield? To actually mobilize military fighter jets to attack me!’ Bai Mengqi cursed silently, dodging the onslaught.
Just then, the Great Immortaless’s voice echoed in her mind: “Heh, he doesn’t possess such capability, but certain factions within Japan do. Don’t forget, many high-ranking Japanese officials are hostile towards the Summer Kingdom. Moreover, we’re disrupting their plans in Japan; no one would tolerate that. Enough, don’t waste any more time with them. I already know your next move. Go ahead and execute it.”
“Don’t waste too much time. Fly directly into the urban area; they won’t be able to engage you within the city.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengqi’s heart stirred, and she immediately adjusted her course, heading towards the urban center of Tokyo.
Indeed, as she flew over the city, the fighter jets ceased their pursuit, instead circling the outskirts, seemingly awaiting further orders.
Bai Mengqi seized the opportunity to descend onto the rooftop of a tall building, where she sat cross-legged to regulate her breath and recover.
She knew she had to regain her strength quickly. Otherwise, if the ability users caught up to her, she would have no time to recuperate.
However, shortly after she settled down, a helicopter roared into view, hovering above the rooftop.
A man in black, armed with a silenced rifle, immediately fired a shot at Bai Mengqi.
Though her protective spiritual energy blocked the bullet, it abruptly interrupted her meditation.
‘What’s happening?’ Bai Mengqi’s heart jolted. She swiftly cast an invisibility spell, vanishing from the man’s sight.
To her surprise, however, her invisibility seemed to have no effect on him. He continued to accurately pinpoint her location and fire shots.
‘Can this guy see through invisibility?’ Bai Mengqi muttered to herself.
Without delay, she launched herself into the air, appearing before the man in the helicopter. She grabbed his collar, dragging him from the aircraft.
The helicopter pilot, in turn, immediately fled with the aircraft.
What Bai Mengqi hadn’t anticipated was the fanatical smile that spread across the black-clad man’s face after she captured him.
“Summer Kingdom citizen, you will not extract a single useful piece of information from me!”
“Long live the Great Japanese Empire!”
Before his words even finished, his head suddenly exploded. Fortunately, Bai Mengqi had dodged in time, or she would have been splattered with blood.
‘Good heavens, he had a miniature bomb in his head.’ Bai Mengqi stared at the headless corpse on the ground, a shiver of fear running through her.
His reaction speed was truly astonishing; he clearly didn’t value his own life.
The Great Immortaless’s voice resonated in her mind once more: “Little girl, someone is definitely monitoring you with some special power. Don’t forget, besides cultivators, there are also superhumans born with innate special abilities.”
Bai Mengqi suddenly understood.
She recalled the superhuman she had encountered at the Jiangzhou Ability Bureau, who could conjure energy ropes. Though not particularly strong, that individual had left a deep impression.
She suspected that among her current enemies, there were likely superhumans, and their abilities were even more unique than that woman’s.
The Great Immortaless’s conjecture was correct. In a base somewhere in Tokyo,
A woman in black, wearing a special device on her head,
was reporting information to others. The information she relayed precisely detailed Bai Mengqi’s movements.
“Report! Target has flown towards the south of Tokyo. Please dispatch personnel to apprehend her immediately,” the woman stated.
As for Bai Mengqi, she indeed intended to find a secluded place to recover her strength.
However, the Great Immortaless’s warning came again: “Little girl, that hawk above your head is problematic. It seems to have been following you since you entered the city.”
Bai Mengqi abruptly looked up, and indeed, she saw a hawk circling overhead.
A thought struck her, and she immediately extended her spiritual sense towards the hawk.
Sure enough, she discovered a peculiar energy attached to the hawk’s body. It was this power, she realized, that allowed it to pinpoint her location.
“Hmph, so it was you causing trouble!” Bai Mengqi snorted, instantly obliterating the hawk with her spiritual sense.
As the hawk plummeted from the sky, the female ability user who had been relying on it to track Bai Mengqi lost her grasp on the target’s whereabouts.
“Report: The target has discovered me. I need to find a new surveillance object. This will take time.”
Bai Mengqi walked onto the street and immediately found a secluded spot to alter her appearance, hoping to evade her pursuers.
She found a place to sit down, but it wasn’t long before she heard a rush of footsteps approaching.
Her heart tightened, knowing that the ability users had caught up.
Left with no choice, she once again fled the area at her fastest speed.
As she escaped, Bai Mengqi continuously changed her appearance and aura, attempting to confuse her trackers.
However, her pursuers seemed to know her movements intimately; no matter how she transformed, they could accurately locate her position.
‘This can’t go on,’ she thought, glancing around. Finally, she spotted what appeared to be an abandoned warehouse.
She immediately slipped inside, hoping to catch her breath.
To her surprise, even within this hidden warehouse, her pursuers quickly found their way in.
This meant they possessed more than one type of surveillance ability.
Indeed, at least three superhumans specializing in surveillance were currently working together in the shadows to track Bai Mengqi.
Whenever Bai Mengqi appeared in an open area, she was monitored by the ability user who could control animals or humans.
If she altered her appearance, another superhuman, skilled at seeing through disguises, would take over the pursuit.
And a third superhuman could lock onto Bai Mengqi’s energy fluctuations, rendering any changes to her appearance useless.
Bai Mengqi was growing weary. In this state, she wouldn’t be able to help Kutsugen destroy the Jingguo Shrine tonight.
She would have to resort to more drastic measures.
“Great Immortaless, is there a way to locate these people secretly monitoring me? Where are they?” Bai Mengqi asked.
“There certainly is a way,” the Great Immortaless replied. “The method is to immediately capture their spiritual energy. By doing so, you can pinpoint the target based on the power they release.”
However, these individuals were cunning. Each time they were caught, they committed suicide with extreme speed, giving Bai Mengqi no chance to question them.
The miniature bombs implanted in their heads could likely be both self-activated and remotely controlled.
To confirm if the miniature bombs in their heads were indeed remotely controlled, Bai Mengqi used her spiritual pressure to suppress the ability users who entered the warehouse.
But the result was immediate: their heads exploded.
Therefore, trying to find the hidden observers through such methods was virtually impossible.
After dealing with this wave of pursuers, Bai Mengqi returned to the street.
As she stepped onto the thoroughfare, she felt as though countless eyes were watching her from all directions. She saw many ability users converging on her position.
Bai Mengqi closed her eyes, carefully sensing her surroundings. Soon, she seemed to detect something, but she didn’t act immediately.
Instead, she pretended to have noticed nothing, continuing to weave through the streets before abruptly turning into an alley.
An inconspicuous rat scurried out from somewhere and followed her into the alley.
But the moment it entered, a surge of spiritual energy instantly snatched it up.
On the other side, the superhuman who could control living beings to monitor Bai Mengqi hadn’t even reacted before meeting Bai Mengqi’s golden eyes.
“No good.” The woman immediately tried to sever her connection with the rat.
However, it was too late.
“Finally, I’ve found you.” Bai Mengqi detected another wave of power from the rat.
Then, the Great Immortaless used her more potent spiritual sense to trace the source of this power.
Ultimately, she pinpointed the target’s location.
Bai Mengqi immediately rushed in that direction. She had to eliminate that person; only then could she hope to shake off the pursuit.
As for the hidden observer, they likely remained unaware that their position had been exposed.
