Forty Millenniums of Cultivation Chapter 1991 - The Catty Girl

Chapter 1991 The Catty Girl

Was the battle of Liberty City, a compet.i.tion between ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie and Xiahou Wuxin, as simple as it appeared?

If the Immortal Cultivators were to test some powerful weapons or capture a large batch of experts among the sinners to study them in Manjusaka, how would they interfere with the battle?

Was there ‘high-molecular layer-by-layer scanning magical equipment’ in Liberty City?

Even if there was and he could get it successfully, what was he going to do then?

Was it possible for him to change the wretched world under the siege of the Immortal Cultivators?

Also, Starlight, the mysterious resistance organization of the Cultivators, and the lost Cultivator who had been missing for a thousand years had shown some of their traces, but where were they exactly?

Li Yao pondered in secret.

“Grandpa Yao!” Han Te suddenly exclaimed. “Look to the southeast. Somebody seems to be there!”

Li Yao was slightly dazed. Adjusting the focus, direction, and resolution of the crystal cameras, he saw raging dust dozens of kilometers to the southeast and then a woman who was running in panic on all fours.

In the middle of the raging dust were more than ten tractors and shuttles, all of which had been embedded with stings and horns that made them look like iron hedgehogs. One would know that one would be best not p.i.s.sing them off after first glance.

All the tractors and shuttles extended a couple of crystal cannons, barraging ahead of them crazily.

The woman who was on all fours had fluffy hair, which made her body appear further slim. She was wearing some sort of jetting magical equipment on her wrists and ankles, which spurted out tremendous air the moment she touched the ground as if she were supported by invisible springs. She dashed among the blasts and explosions, fleeing in a hurry.

She seemed to have practiced some special body movement skills. Together with the four pieces of jetting magical equipment, she was no slower than the shuttles.

It was a pity that she was blown away now and then because of the enemy’s bombardment, and she revolved in midair like a kite whose string was severed. She could not have looked more miserable.

The enemy was even not in a hurry to kill or capture her. They were simply pa.s.sing their time with the poor woman like a cat playing with a mouse.

The woman fell to the ground time and time again, bleeding and bruised, only to rise again and struggle to continue fleeing.

Li Yao could almost see the hideous smiles on the faces of the tough bandits inside the iron hedgehogs.

“Grandpa Yao.”

Han Te and Liu Li both saw the miserable appearance of the woman. There was begging in their voices.

Although minding other people’s business meant asking to be killed in the Land of Sins, they were different from the common sinners in the Land of Sins.

Besides, there was still Grandpa Yao!

“Let’s go!”

Li Yao activated the power rune arrays of the heavy shuttle and accelerated to the highest speed amid the exclamations of the two little fellows!

The tracked spiritual puppet, his main body, boasted an anti-gravity ability and could float in the air. But the machine was not designed according to aerodynamics after all, so its speed was limited. Besides, it could not support the two little fellows sitting on his shoulders all the time.

Therefore, they were on-board a heavy armed shuttle that had been specially modified by Li Yao. It had been designed to s.h.i.+p goods at the beginning, with an enormous carriage behind. But after Li Yao’s modification, it now boasted a speed that was as good as a racing shuttle.

With Li Yao’s professional driving skills, the thirty kilometers were covered in no time. They cut into the enemy’s team from the left rear. The patterns of black leopards that had wings on the chest could clearly be seen on the body of the vehicles.

It seemed to belong to a gang named ‘Flying Leopard Hall’, which was quite famous on the b.l.o.o.d.y Plateau for their velocity and ferocity.

The tough bandits of the Flying Leopard Hall were perhaps prudent in nature, or perhaps they had been dominators of the land for too long. Seeing that an unknown shuttle was drawing close, they said nothing and turned their turrets immediately, raising a storm of destruction toward Li Yao.

“Grandpa Yao, be careful!” Han Te and Liu Li exclaimed at the same time.

Li Yao’s soul yawned lazily. The seemingly clumsy heavy shuttle turned into the most agile streak of brilliance and flashed among the bullets in the most delicate way.

A large cl.u.s.ter of exhaust flames were spurted toward the tank of the Flying Leopard Hall as he accelerated again and caught up to the woman who was running in desperation. A mechanical arm extended out of the right side of ‘Fiend Star’, grabbing her and throwing her into the carriage. Then, the vehicle turned around almost 180 degrees, dodging a few crystal cannons that had been locked onto his previous location, before it rushed at full speed in the opposite direction of the Flying Leopard Hall’s tank team.

The whole movement was fluent and natural, and the trajectory was as sharp and aggressive as a folded blade!

The tough bandits of the Flying Leopard Hall did not antic.i.p.ate that a stranger whose driving skills were unbelievably brilliant would come out of nowhere. Their battle formation was immediately disrupted. A lot of shuttles even attempted to make a 180-degree turn neatly like Li Yao, but they ignored the gap of their skills and damaged the balance system of the shuttles. Rolling more than ten times in midair, the vehicles smashed into the ground, and several blus.h.i.+ng bandits crawled out and cursed in fury at Li Yao, who was getting further and further away.

Han Te and Liu Li cheered at the same time.

The woman who had been thrown onto the backseat by Li Yao, however, had not entirely recovered from her shock yet. Her face was even more weird than before, as if she had run into a bunch of ghosts.

“Who are you? What do you want?”

She was not ugly at all, and she was rather young. But she could not have looked sloppier. There was black mud and stains all over her body, making it impossible to see her skin. Her hair was so messy and dirty that it looked more like gra.s.s, which further highlighted the size of her head. Right now, her back was deeply hunched, and she was like a cat that was fully alert and would extend her not-so-sharp claws at any moment. She screamed in fear now and then.

“Don’t be scared. We’re here to save you,” Han Te and Liu Li said at the same time.

The woman’s face became even weirder. “Save me? Why would you save me? Do you hate the Flying Leopard Hall, or do you hate me?”

Han Te and Liu Li were both slightly dazed. They shook their heads and said, “We don’t hate anyone. But weren’t you being chased by the people of the Flying Leopard Hall? If they’d captured you, they certainly would’ve killed you or sold you as a slave. Shouldn’t we rescue you?”

The woman seemed to have never heard such a self-righteous and preposterous argument before. As if her mind had been disrupted by the unexpected arrival of Li Yao and the rest of them, she was stunned for a long time before she cried in shock and fury, “What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I’m a three-year-old? Has anybody in the Land of Sins ever saved someone else for no reason? Are you idiots?”

Han Te and Liu Li stared at each other and smiled at the same time. “Maybe!”

The woman put on an expression of disbelief. She shook the door hard and gnashed her teeth. “Fine. Thank you for saving me. Now, put me down and leave me alone!”

She wanted to jump out of the vehicle without bothering with anything else, only to be clutched by Li Yao’s mechanical arm. She bashed Li Yao’s iron sh.e.l.l hard with her elbow and naturally achieved nothing except for making herself grimace in pain.

“The guys of the Flying Leopard Hall are still behind us,” Han Te reminded her kindly.

“Don’t worry about it. We mean you no harm at all. If you don’t want to say anything, we will simply put you down after we are safe, and we will go our separate ways,” Liu Li proposed considerately.

The cat-like woman struggled hard in Li Yao’s iron arms. Looking at the ‘innocent’ faces of the two little fellows, she was almost amused. After catching her breath, she said, “Listen up. I don’t care where you idiots come from and how seriously out of your mind you are to be determined to play heroes on the b.l.o.o.d.y Plateau, but I will take care of my own business. You have saved me, and I cannot thank you enough. Now, let me go, or you will regret it, and you two idiots will die!”

“The shuttles of the Flying Leopard Hall cannot catch us,” Han Te said confidently.

“Even if they do, we are not afraid of them.” Liu Li waved her tiny fists and smiled at the cat-like woman. “You don’t need to be scared, either. Whatever happens, we will protect you.”

The woman’s fury had already been condensed to such an extent that it was about to burst out, but Liu Li’s words simply pressed it back.

Looking at Liu Li’s eyes that were as clear as water, the cat-like woman was almost suffocated. She was at a loss as to how to deal with the two unconventional little fellows.

“Idiots,” she mumbled. “Who’s talking about the Flying Leopard Hall?”

Liu Li blinked. “Who are you? Why were the people of the Flying Leopard Hall chasing you?”

The woman was hesitating about how to respond when feeble explosions suddenly took place behind them.

It did not feel like the explosions of cannon fire or crystal bombs but more like the crashes of a few meteors.

Li Yao even sensed the ripples that were spread out when the meteors soared through the air.

Something fell from the sky, but it was not the common relief from the Heavenly Rails, which was always buffered by parachutes and quite slow. Also, the parachutes were always very colorful and could be seen from a long distance away in order to trigger a b.l.o.o.d.y compet.i.tion.

Not only did those ‘meteors’ fall at a high speed, they had also activated some sort of stealth technique, which was so brilliant that even Li Yao did not detect them despite his senses in the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Therefore, they intentionally avoided being seen.

Of course, the meteors from the sky would always leave traces when they crashed at a high speed despite the remarkable stealth and buffer system.

When the ‘invisible meteors’ hit the ground, it was inevitable that explosions were raised and mud walls almost ten meters high stood up.

Their landing points were not far away from the shuttles of the Flying Leopard Hall. Those bandits were probably rather curious and sent out half of the shuttles to check the landing points of the ‘invisible meteors’.

Then, there were intense explosions, crazy gunshots, and desperate screams!
