Chapter 17: Double S-Rank Ability User!!!
"Hold on! Activate maximum power shield!"
The captain of the elite squad roared and was the first to step up to the front.
His rune armor shone brightly, and the pale blue energy shield expanded to its limit, like a giant tortoise shell, trying to withstand the oncoming golden sea of fire.
The other team members reacted immediately, quickly forming a defensive formation and concentrating all their energy on the shield in front.
"Sizzle—sizzle—"
The golden imperial flames and the blue energy shield collided, producing a teeth-grinding sound.
The air was distorted by the scorching heat, crackling and popping.
The seemingly indestructible energy shield began to shake violently under the scorching heat of the Emperor's Flame, with fine cracks appearing on its surface, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"Warning! Shield energy remaining at 40%!"
"Warning! Armor temperature too high! Approaching critical level!"
"Warning! Energy remaining at 20%!"
Inside the armor, the piercing alarm sounded like a death knell, constantly ringing in the ears of every team member.
"Damn it! What the hell is this flame?!"
The captain gritted his teeth, feeling as if he were inside a giant pressure cooker, his blood almost boiling over.
Although the rune armor could insulate against most of the heat, the pervasive scorching heat still made him sweat profusely and even made it difficult to breathe.
The situation was even worse for his teammates behind him.
Two team members have already fainted due to overheating of their armor.
If this continues, they will all be roasted alive here in less than thirty seconds!
Qin Bing's heart sank to the bottom.
She never expected that Xiao Fan, who had reached the end of his rope, could still unleash such terrifying power.
Is this the terrifying aspect of the Yan Emperor's legacy?
She raised the "Frozen Embrace" in her hand and aimed it at the figure in the center of the sea of fire, a figure that looked like a demon god.
But she knew it was no use.
In such a terrifyingly high-temperature environment, her ice-type superpowers would be completely evaporated before they even got close to Xiao Fan.
Is it really true that we're all going to be wiped out here today?
In the middle of the sea of fire
Xiao Fan was panting heavily, his face as pale as paper.
The sudden release of all the core power of the Emperor Flame placed a tremendous burden on his body, and he felt as if his meridians were about to be burned off.
But as he looked at the group of elite Dragon Kingdom soldiers outside the encirclement, struggling to hold on and on the verge of collapse, a gleam of pleasure flashed in his eyes.
[Trying to wear me down?]
【dream!】
Your turtle shells are indeed quite tough, but how long can they last?
[Once your energy is depleted, that's when I'll strike back!]
In his previous life, he was a powerful overlord, so his combat experience was incredibly rich.
He could tell at a glance that although the opponent's rune armor had amazing defense, its energy was limited.
And his Emperor Flame will burn continuously as long as he has a breath left!
If this drags on, the other side will definitely die!
Underground command center.
The image on the big screen had turned into a blinding gold.
In the thermal imaging, a dozen blue humanoid figures representing Qin Bing's team are being swallowed up by a huge red energy field, and the light is getting dimmer and dimmer.
"Captain Qin and his team are in danger!"
"Quickly find a way to provide support!"
"How can we provide support? Helicopters can't get there, and we're afraid of using missiles to accidentally hit our own people!"
The command center was in complete chaos.
Everyone was extremely anxious, yet helpless.
Old Master Long's face was extremely grim.
He stared intently at the screen, his fingernails digging deep into the flesh of his palms.
These are the most elite members of the Dragon Kingdom!
He couldn't bear the loss if he were to perish here!
In the entire command center, only one person remained calm.
He is Su Chen!
He sat in the chair, silent, his eyes fixed on the barrage of comments above Xiao Fan's head.
He is waiting.
Waiting for an opportunity.
He knew that Xiao Fan was now outwardly strong but inwardly weak, like a spent force.
The contest between the two sides is to see who can't hold on any longer.
But Su Chen knew in his heart that Qin Bing and the others most likely wouldn't be able to hold out.
Therefore, Su Chen had already notified other special forces personnel to rush over and provide support.
Conventional methods are no longer effective against this guy who is blessed with great fortune.
"Captain Qin, we're here!"
Reinforcements have arrived!
The situation on the battlefield has once again taken an unexpected turn!
"good!"
"Well done!"
In the command center, everyone immediately became excited and clenched their fists.
Elder Long couldn't help but look at Su Chen. Recalling the other party's previous behavior, he understood!
"This little guy anticipated that Qin Bing and the others would need support, and he had already made arrangements!"
"With such a son in the Dragon Kingdom, the nation's fortunes will never decline!"
-
Xiao Fan seemed to realize that simply using fire to wear down the enemy, while he could win, would take too long and involve too many variables.
He didn't want to wait any longer!
We can't delay any longer!
We must end this quickly!
I didn't expect I'd have to use another trump card so soon...
Upon seeing this comment, Su Chen's pupils constricted sharply.
Another trump card?
Could it be that besides the legacy of Emperor Yan, he has other backup plans?
The next second, Xiao Fan's actions confirmed Su Chen's guess.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xiao Fan did not choose to continue fighting with flames, but suddenly made an inexplicable move.
He raised his left hand.
Instead of golden flames, his left palm tore open a silver spatial rift no bigger than a palm!
That rift emitted a cold and eerie energy fluctuation that was completely different from that of Di Yan!
"What...what is that?!"
In the command center, a sharp-eyed staff officer exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone's attention was drawn to that small silver crack.
The moment Su Chen saw the crack, he was struck by lightning and jumped up from his chair!
Xiao Fan actually possesses a terrifying ability that makes him appear and disappear unpredictably and is unstoppable!
It's a space-based ability!
The most deeply hidden ability is also an S-class superpower—"Shadow Strike"!
"Oh no! Qin Bing! Scatter! He's going to..."
Su Chen hadn't finished his warning.
On the battlefield, Xiao Fan had already pushed that small spatial rift forward with a sudden burst!
The moment the rift left his palm, it grew larger in the wind, instantly expanding into a silver light gate taller than a person!
Immediately afterward, Xiao Fan plunged headfirst into the portal of light without hesitation and vanished instantly!
Almost at the same moment.
At the outermost edge of the encirclement formed by Qin Bing's team, which was also the weakest link in the defense, a similar silver light gate appeared out of thin air behind one of the team members!
Xiao Fan stepped out from within!
Using the brief opening of the spatial rift, he actually traversed tens of meters of space and the terrifying sea of fire, appearing outside the encirclement!
"die!"
His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and before the team member could react, he slammed a palm into his back!
"Snap!"
A crisp sound!
The runic armor, which was strong enough to withstand the attacks of third-tier alien beasts, shattered instantly like paper under Xiao Fan's full-force attack, which combined the power of the Emperor's Flame and the power of space!
The team member didn't even have time to scream before collapsing to the ground.
A gap was forcibly torn open!
You didn't expect that, did you, you bastard!
[I'm a double S-class!!!]
A barrage of comments filled with endless arrogance and resentment was frantically scrolling across Su Chen's screen!
"Stop him!"
Qin Bing's eyes widened in horror. She never imagined that Xiao Fan would possess such a bizarre ability!
She turned around, intending to chase after him.
But Xiao Fan didn't give her a chance at all.
Having landed a successful blow, he didn't even glance at Qin Bing. His figure transformed into a blur, and without looking back, he fled madly into the depths of the vast snow-capped mountains.
In just a few breaths, his figure disappeared into the wind and snow.
All that remained was a desolate battlefield, a still-burning golden sea of fire, and a cold corpse.
The operation failed!
Despite paying a heavy price, Xiao Fan still managed to escape.
The command center was deathly silent.
Everyone stared blankly at the screen, at the final image of Xiao Fan disappearing, speechless for a long time.
Old Master Long slumped back into his chair and let out a long sigh.
"Double S-class superpowers—Emperor Flame, Shadow Step..."
"This child... is blessed with great fortune, which cannot be forced by human effort..."
Throughout the entire operation, from beginning to end, they maintained absolute initiative and advantage.
But in the end, the opponent, with their endless trump cards and ruthlessness far beyond ordinary people, managed to carve out a bloody path for them.
Su Chen stood still, his eyes cold.
He looked at the screen, but instead of feeling frustrated, he felt an unprecedented clarity.
Through this confrontation, he finally confirmed Xiao Fan's biggest trump card—dual S-level superpowers.
More importantly, he understood a principle.
A reborn individual, a true ace, a real secret, will never appear in those smug "bullet comments."
The bullet screen only lets him see what the enemy wants him to see.
The truly deadly moves, however, will only appear without warning at the most crucial moment.
He underestimated these ruthless figures who could climb to the top in the apocalypse.
"Xiao Fan..."
Su Chen slowly sat down, silently reciting the name in his heart.
"You're really capable!"
"But next time, you won't be so lucky!"
