Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 1162: Chapter 28

Far away, Xie Lian flew with a heart full of anger.

Just as she flew out of Stronghold 34, a thunderous sound came from behind.

The entire stronghold had collapsed in an explosion.

The location of Stronghold 34 was the underground parking lot of a skyscraper. Even at the fourth underground level, the explosion was enormous.

Not only did the stronghold itself collapse, but seven floors of the skyscraper above it also came crashing down.

Fortunately, the upper layers had other supports, preventing the entire skyscraper from toppling completely, otherwise it would have been a catastrophic incident.

Of course, even the current situation is no small matter.

Xie Lian could already foresee how much pressure the Era City Government would put on the police department, and the Divine Bird Security Department, as the leader of this operation, would also face immense pressure. Zhang Huang, the pampered boss, wouldn’t take responsibility for her, so all these troubles would fall on her shoulders.

Thinking of this made her headache turn into anger.

She now roughly understood the situation.

The behaviour of those engineers just now, including her own, although present inside the stronghold, never noticed anything unusual… Combining all these, she had a strong sense of déjà vu.

Turning back, she gazed at the ruins left by the explosion, and Jiang Borren’s name emerged in her mind.

“Huh… really something, even in death, still lingering?”

Her face was extremely dark.

“The one who acted must have been Li Ang. His ability to learn others’ spells… it’s truly terrifying.”

She felt shivers down her spine.

But then, she realized a new problem:

“What is his next target? I have to do something… Otherwise, this is too disgraceful, the board’s pressure can’t be handled.”

“That’s right, those two captives!”

With this thought, her wings trembled, and she flew swiftly toward the direction of the prison wagon.

At the same time, the mental firewall in her brain was already fully activated.

The high-power operation of the firewall, the consumption of spiritual power, and the mental strain on herself, were quite significant burdens, and would obviously negatively impact her in battle.

But there was no choice.

Facing such an opponent, it’s necessary to take this step.

Without the mental firewall, no matter how strong the displayed combat power, it’s meaningless, as you’d be taken down in minutes.

However, Xie Lian didn’t care much about these burdens and impacts.

Li Ang is a frightening enemy, but his menace lies in the strange abilities he obtained from the Ancient Immortal legacy, allowing him to steal others’ spells, making his fighting style unpredictable and difficult to anticipate, and as he fights, he grows stronger. The fight might turn into me fighting against myself.

But aside from that, from the few recorded battles, his strength appears to be not weak, yet in Xie Lian’s eyes, far from capable of threatening her.

“Against such an opponent, the best approach is to exert full force at the start of the battle, to kill him outright, without leaving any chance, especially not dragging the battle too long, or else it becomes easy for him to steal abilities, making the fight increasingly disadvantageous…”

Xie Lian hurried toward the location of the two captives, analyzing strategies against Li Ang in her mind.

On the way there, she indeed spotted Li Ang in mid-air.

That guy, amidst the crowd, wasn’t exactly swaggering, but didn’t try to conceal his presence either, heading straight for the prison wagon where the captives were temporarily held. Many Divine Birds were on alert nearby, yet they seemed blind, completely unaware of the blatantly visible Li Ang walking right before them.

Upon witnessing this scene, Xie Lian was even more convinced of her earlier speculation.

She was very familiar with Jiang Borren’s abilities, and this tactic surely involved some sort of mental alteration.

“But I’ve fully activated the mental firewall now, prepare to meet your end!”

With this thought, she decisively dove down, her steel wings gleaming coldly!

…

When Xie Lian discovered Li Ang, Li Ang naturally also noticed her.

He knew the explosion of Stronghold 34 wasn’t enough to claim Xie Lian’s life. Such a war hero, a strong fighter, certainly wouldn’t die that easily.

Confronted with the charging Xie Lian, Li Ang squinted and swiftly pulled out [Silver Dragon].

The revolver fired consecutively toward the Martial God.

The fierce bullets all hit Xie Lian.

This surprised Xie Lian.

Li Ang’s shooting skills were astonishingly strong.

Her charging speed was very fast at that moment, but that was secondary; true marksmanship reaching such a level was understandable.

But the key point was, she had two defense techniques specifically against bullets in the battle.

Several kinds of light glowed on her body.

Pale blue glow: [Light Mass Deflection Field, specifically used to deflect light-mass projectile rounds.]

Pale purple glow: [Muddle Spell, combines the subject’s body with the surrounding environment, preventing others from correctly discerning the subject’s location, causing short-range visual distortion.]

These two spells directly reduce the threat of light weapons to Xie Lian dramatically.
