High Martial: I Use Everything as Swords

A terrifying burst of energy, far exceeding their own strength, erupted in an instant.

"Watch out!"

The expressions on Lei Zhen and Wang Defa’s faces changed simultaneously as they hurriedly retracted their attacks to defend.

BOOM!

The violent shockwave of Blood Energy blasted the two of them back more than a dozen steps, their Qi Blood churning within them.

But the exploding mass of bloody light split in two in mid-air.

A small portion transformed into countless tiny, blood-red insects that shrieked and charged at the two men, heedless of their own lives.

The larger portion of bloody light, however, swept up the [Nether Embryo] from mid-air and transformed into a piercing, blood-red stream of light.

It fled for its life toward the edge of the farm hundreds of meters away, moving at a speed almost impossible to track with the naked eye!

The speed of that bloody light was simply too fast.

Its trajectory was erratic, weaving between buildings, making it impossible to intercept.

High above, Han Feng took in the entire scene.

’Trying to run?’

He didn’t try to attack the ridiculously fast stream of blood-red light; he knew he wouldn’t be able to hit it.

His eyes instantly locked onto the stream of light’s destination.

A massive hole at the base of the farm’s perimeter wall, left behind by a tunnel worm!

Alice’s nose dipped sharply, and the six-barreled machine cannon roared to life once more.

RAT-A-TAT-TAT-TAT!

A long stream of tracer rounds, like a glowing whip, lashed out and precisely struck the edge of the hole.

The impacts sent shattered rock and dust flying.

He couldn’t communicate with the ground team, but this was the only warning he could give!

On the ground, Lei Zhen and Wang Defa had just shattered the last of the suicidal blood insects when they heard the machine cannon fire from the sky again.

They looked up and immediately understood Han Feng’s intention.

"Over there!"

The two exchanged a look and, without another moment’s hesitation, blurred into afterimages as they sprinted toward the location of the bullet impacts.

When they arrived, all they saw was a pitch-black, seemingly bottomless hole at the base of the wall.

The blood-red stream of light, along with the crucial cursed object, had vanished without a trace.

Beneath the wall, the hole left by the tunnel worm was pitch-black and reeked of a foul stench.

By the time Lei Zhen and Wang Defa arrived, the blood-red stream of light that had stolen the [Nether Embryo] was long gone.

"After it!"

Lei Zhen leaped into the cavern without a hint of hesitation.

Wang Defa followed close behind, a powerful surge of earthy-yellow True Qi flaring around him to ward off the slime coating the tunnel walls.

Inside the cavern was a crudely dug tunnel, wide enough for only one person to pass through.

A hundred meters later, the two of them burst into a wider subterranean cavity.

ROAR!

Several massive tunnel worms were already waiting there. They were Xue Si’s last line of defense, and their huge bodies now blocked all paths forward.

"You’re courting death!"

Lei Zhen roared in fury, his mechanical prosthesis glowing with a blinding red light as he charged straight at them.

A few minutes later, the battle was over.

The remains of the tunnel worms and their foul-smelling bodily fluids filled the entire cavity, completely blocking the only passage.

Wang Defa sliced a worm’s corpse in two, his face turning ashen as he stared at the completely blocked-off layer of earth behind it.

"Director, we can’t catch up."

"AAAAARGH!"

Lei Zhen let out a frustrated roar toward the ceiling and slammed his fist into the nearby rock wall, leaving behind a deep crater webbed with cracks.

What an absolute disgrace!

This was a humiliation the likes of which Golden Ears Farm had never suffered since its founding!

High above, Han Feng saw everything unfold through his [Spiritual Vision].

Seeing Lei Zhen and the other man climb out of the hole empty-handed, he knew the ground pursuit had failed.

He glanced at the flashing "Ammunition Depleted" warning on the fighter’s display and hesitated no longer.

If he wanted to catch that escaped rat, he had to land and rearm immediately.

Han Feng piloted Alice, lining up with the section of runway on the tarmac—now less than eighty meters long—and began to slowly decrease altitude.

"What is he trying to do now?!"

On the tarmac, Wang Meng’s eyes went wide.

"He’s insane! Eighty meters! Does he want to smash Alice into a pile of scrap metal?!"

Gu Yun let out a heart-wrenching scream. He couldn’t bear to imagine his perfect Alice tumbling across the ground and disintegrating.

Zhang Hao’s expression changed as well. He was about to stop Han Feng via the communicator but found all channels were still being jammed by the blood mist, leaving only static.

Inside the cockpit, Han Feng’s expression was focused.

The moment the landing gear touched the ground, he roared in his mind.

’Stop!’

The power of the Sword Control Technique was no longer "lifting," but "pulling"!

An invisible, immense force gripped the high-speed Alice from behind, dragging it back.

SCREECH—!

The piercing sound of twisting metal echoed across the airfield.

Alice’s fuselage carved an exaggerated "Z" pattern on the runway, its wings nearly scraping the ground.

Less than three meters from the chasm at the end of the runway, the lightweight fighter jet shuddered violently before coming to a steady stop.

The cockpit canopy opened.

Before Han Feng could even jump down, a figure in white charged toward him like a madman.

Gu Yun threw himself onto Alice’s fuselage, running his hands over it and inspecting every inch meticulously.

"My Alice... my Alice... are you okay?"

"That bastard didn’t hurt you, did he?"

Only after confirming there wasn’t a single scratch on the fuselage did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He then spun around and glared at Han Feng, who had just jumped down from the jet.

"Han Feng! You lunatic! I’m warning you, if you ever dare treat my Alice like that again, I’ll... "

"Relax."

Han Feng waved a hand, cutting him off.

"Four missiles, four dead tunnel worms."

Gu Yun’s anger instantly caught in his throat, and his eyes shot wide open.

"Four... four missiles took out four of them?"

He had seen with his own eyes how cunning those tunnel worms were. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He himself had strafed them with the machine cannon for ages without even scratching their hides.

"That’s my Alice for you!"

Gu Yun’s expression did a complete one-eighty, his face now filled with pride and delight.

"I knew it! Alice is the best!"

"What tunnel worms? Before Alice’s missiles, they’re nothing but sitting ducks!"

As he spoke, he ran back to Alice’s side, caressing the cold fuselage with an intoxicated look on his face.

"Alice, my darling wife, you’re incredible! When we get back, I’ll give you a new paint job, the prettiest swimsuit livery..."

Watching this scene, Wang Meng, Old Liu, and the others felt their mouths twitch, though they were already used to this kind of display.

Han Feng couldn’t be bothered with the clown and walked briskly over to Zhang Hao.

"Captain, are there any other flyable jets?"

"One armed with missiles!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Hao pointed to another Hunting Falcon fighter jet not far away.

"I already had it prepared for you!"

"Fully loaded. Four Spiritual Energy Combat Missiles, not one less!"

"Good!"

Without another word, Han Feng turned and dashed toward the fully prepped fighter jet.

A few minutes later, the roar of an engine sounded once more.

Under the complicated gazes of the onlookers, Han Feng piloted the second Hunting Falcon and, in the same unreasonable fashion, forced a takeoff from the eighty-meter runway, soaring into the night sky.

This time, after taking off, he didn’t rush to find the enemy.

He yanked back the control stick, and the jet climbed vertically.

One thousand meters.

Two thousand meters.

Three thousand meters!

He broke straight through the shroud of blood mist and emerged into the clear night sky above.
