Chapter 237: Chapter 203: Your Flying Weapon? No, That’s My Flying Sword
"The data is perfect."
He pointed at the various parameters on the screen and said to Sun Changhe beside him,
"You see, the target’s mobility is indeed impressive. It even exceeds the limits of the Meridian Passage Realm."
"His Wingsuit must have been modified. Combined with his special Wind Element manipulation ability, he can indeed evade attacks for a short period."
"However, it’s all meaningless."
Mo Sen took a light sip of his coffee, his tone confident.
"These three ’Cleaners’ aren’t implanted with some ordinary batteries. They have high-purity Tier Three Demon Beast Crystal Cores."
"Thanks to our ’Spiritual Energy Converter,’ the energy utilization rate of the Crystal Cores is over 95%. Their endurance is a hundred times that of a human Martial Artist of the same tier."
"And him? Every evasion consumes a massive amount of his stamina and energy."
"Right now, he’s like a mouse being toyed with by a cat. The more he scurries around, the faster he’ll die."
Sun Changhe had taken out two Iron Galls and was rolling them in his hand again. He nodded at Mo Sen’s words, his tense nerves finally relaxing.
"It seems we overestimated him."
"Breaking through the Array before was most likely just luck, or perhaps he had some kind of single-use Treasure specifically designed to counter Arrays."
"When it comes to a direct confrontation, the disparity in their foundations becomes clear."
"Then let him scurry around for another two minutes."
Mo Sen pushed up his glasses and gave the command,
"Activate ’Hunt’ mode. Compress his operational space. Don’t let him escape the island’s perimeter."
"Roger!"
...
「In the air.」
Han Feng was indeed in a sorry state.
But he wasn’t panicking. In fact, his eyes were growing brighter and brighter.
’I can’t outrun them, and I can’t hurt them...’
’Looks like I’ll have to try a different approach.’
While using his Body Technique·Reversal of Heaven and Earth to trace a Z-shaped path through the air and dodge two intersecting Wind Blades, Han Feng kept his eyes glued to the lead monster.
He was waiting for an opportunity.
Although these three beasts coordinated flawlessly, they were ultimately under intelligent control. Their attack patterns followed a fixed logic.
After every three volleys of Wind Blades, they had a 0.5-second gap to recharge their energy.
That was the time it took for the Crystal Core’s energy to reload into the firing organs in their throats.
’Now!’
The moment the lead monster opened its mouth again, just as the cyan light in its throat faded.
Instead of retreating, Han Feng advanced.
He abruptly folded his wings, sending his body into an extreme-speed dive.
He perfectly evaded the crossfire blockade from the other two monsters.
Immediately after, the Sword Essence in his body surged wildly.
Sword Control Technique—full power output!
"Up!"
He forced a steep climb in mid-air. Using the inertia from his dive and the explosive burst of Sword Essence, his speed instantly doubled.
His entire body transformed into a streak of black light, shooting straight into the clouds.
His target was the lead monster, which had just entered its recharge period.
"What is he trying to do?"
In the underground base, Sun Changhe was stunned. "Is he trying to get himself killed?"
"Ignore him."
Mo Sen sneered. "The ’Cleaners’ aren’t just skilled at long-range attacks. Close combat is their specialty."
"The scales on their bodies can vibrate at high frequencies, releasing a wind pressure strong enough to pulverize rock."
"Getting close is a death sentence."
On the screen, Han Feng’s figure had already rushed above the monster.
Without any hesitation, he kicked hard against the air, using the force to flip over and land steadily on the monster’s broad back.
"Courting death!"
Mo Sen’s eyes turned vicious as he slammed a red button.
BZZZZ—!
The scales on the monster’s back instantly flared out, like a cat with its fur on end.
A visible ripple of cyan energy erupted from between the scales.
It was a high-density Wind Spiritual Energy Ability shockwave.
At this range, an ordinary Meridian Passage Realm Martial Artist would have their internal organs instantly pulverized, and even their bones would be ground to dust.
However,
The expected scene of Han Feng coughing up blood and being flung away never appeared.
The instant the shockwave erupted, a faint silver light suddenly flared up on Han Feng’s body.
It was a protective barrier of high-purity Sword Essence.
While it couldn’t block a Tier Three physical attack, resisting a purely energy-based shockwave like this for a moment was no problem.
More importantly, Han Feng’s hands were already pressed firmly onto two slightly protruding spinal bones on the monster’s back.
Those were the key nodes for Spiritual Power transmission.
"Got you."
Han Feng smiled faintly.
The next moment, the system’s notification chimed in his mind like the music of the heavens.
[Ding! Host detected piloting an unknown flying vehicle.]
[Scanning...]
[Target characteristics: Possesses exceptional flight capabilities, equipped with a high-energy Spiritual Energy Core, lacks an independent soul, and is controlled by external commands.]
[Activating judgment logic...]
[Judgment result: Target meets the criteria for "Large-Scale Biological Flying Sword."]
[Attempt to establish connection and perform forced piloting?]
Hearing this prompt, Han Feng almost burst out laughing.
’This system is some kind of twisted logic genius!’
’As long as it can fly, has no soul, and is an inanimate object, the system considers it a "Flying Sword"?’
’By that logic, if I ride a missile in the future, can I use it as a Flying Sword too?’
’Yes! Connect immediately!’
Han Feng roared in his mind.
[Forced intervention in progress...]
[Injecting Sword Essence... Assimilating Spiritual Energy Core... Severing original control circuit...]
[Connection successful!]
In an instant, a wondrous sensation washed over him.
The monster beneath his feet, which had been struggling frantically with its scales still buzzing and vibrating, suddenly felt incredibly "familiar" at that moment.
It was like an extension of his own body.
The feeling was no different from when he controlled the Armor-Piercing Short Sword beneath his feet.
The complex Spiritual Energy Flow paths within the monster’s body, the energy output frequency of its Crystal Core, and even the command reception port of its control chip instantly appeared in his mind.
