After the Skyfall

Chapter 397 The Terrible Line

"Even a charged shot from the Thunder Fighter can't destroy the line hanging from the sky? What on earth is that thing? It can tear the city apart just by floating by. Fortunately, the residents had already evacuated in advance, otherwise, how many people would have been killed or injured. And this is not a natural disaster, it must have been intentional by some creature."

At this moment, above Tianchang City, at least five or six glowing lines were hanging down from the other end of the sky. These thin lines were floating in the city like tentacles, and nothing could stop them. Wherever they passed, there was ruins everywhere.

Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, Lu Jue, Zhao Xiaoxiao and others were standing outside the building watching this scene.

Like Li Yi, they felt powerless as if the world was about to fall.

Under this kind of vision, people seem too insignificant, and even practitioners seem too powerless.

And this seems to be just the beginning.

"Oh no, Li Yi has a line floating towards this side." Suddenly, someone shouted a warning.

Li Yi's silver eyes moved slightly and he looked in that direction. In his sight, a glowing line seemed to be swaying in the wind, floating towards this side unconsciously. The line slid through the city, instantly splashing a cloud of dust, like a heavy bulldozer, rushing towards this side.

At this moment, an alarm instantly sounded inside the building. At the same time, the three high-energy beam cannons on the top floor of the building continued to fire at the glowing line. However, such attacks were still useless. The unknown line was indestructible, and even the most intensive attacks were of no avail.

"Lan Ji, calculate the route of that thing and see if there is any risk of hitting the building." Lin Yue shouted hurriedly.

Although the glowing line is coming towards this side, it will not necessarily touch the building behind it. If you are lucky, you can just pass by it. Only after precise calculations by the intelligent computer can you determine whether it will hit or not.

Such a running trajectory is easy to calculate for the fourth-generation artificial intelligence Blue Ji.

soon.

A three-dimensional projection appeared around everyone, and Lan Ji displayed the calculation results. In the demonstration screen, the floating thin line hit the building, breaking the originally intact building in half, and the surrounding area became a ruin.

Seeing Lan Ji's calculation results, everyone's faces changed suddenly.

Not really.

Is it really so unlucky that I ran into this?
"Do we need to evacuate the people in the building?" Lu Jue asked hurriedly.

Lin Yue gritted her teeth and said, "Why evacuate now? Let them stay on the second underground floor. They won't die. The worst that can happen is that the building breaks in half and is buried under the rubble. By then, I will force a path to the second underground floor and bring them out. The Skyfall Incident is going on now, and the city is full of crises. If anyone comes out without any strength, they will be courting death."

"Be prepared for the impact. Everyone, spread out a bit and don't worry about anything else. The most important thing is to ensure your own safety." Zhao Lingfu said, "Li Yi, is there anything important in the building? We need to move it away quickly. We still have time if we use the Thunder Fighter."

There is a life cradle on the top floor, which is nurturing Li Yixin's body.

Li Yi took a look and immediately ordered Lan Ji: "Lan Ji, control the Thunder Fighter to retrieve the Cradle of Life, ensure the safety of the machine, and terminate the gestation. In addition, I will try to stop that thing."

"Don't go. We can't stop this thing with our capabilities. It's not worth it for you to take the risk." Lin Yue immediately persuaded.

"Try it. I'm also very curious about what this thing is. Don't worry, I won't stop you forcibly. I'll just go to the side and observe it closely." After Li Yi finished speaking, he mobilized the silver energy all over his body, and he flew into the air, rising directly from the ground about ten feet.

Then he rushed towards the glowing line hanging from the sky at an extremely fast speed.

He shuttled through the city streets, and after several leaps, he soon landed on the roof of a residential building.

"coming."

Soon, the glowing thread floated towards this side.

"Such a rich cosmic energy." Li Yi's eyes moved slightly. He felt that the closer he was to the line, the stronger the cosmic energy became. Even the cells in his body felt a burning pain.

Unbelievable.

This thread is like a strange object, carrying a powerful cosmic energy field?

But what on earth is this?
It is crystal clear, has nothing to do with lines, is indestructible and full of energy.

It is neither a product of technology nor a creation of nature.

After a brief observation, the glowing lines had destroyed the road, flattened an area of ​​the city along the way, and finally floated past Li Yi.

"How can I stop this thread that goes from sky to earth?" He thought about it as he chased after it.

Think about it.

Li Yi found that the most likely method he had at the moment was the Feimu Needle.

This is an extremely sharp treasure, born from the eye of the mythical creature Fei. If even the needle of Fei's eye cannot have an effect on it, then he is truly powerless.

"Try it."

Li Yi's mind moved, and a dazzling golden light flew out instantly. The golden light circled around him, gathering momentum, and then suddenly shot out.

In the brilliant golden light, an extremely sharp divine needle hit the glowing thread that was as thick as a person.

I thought the Feimu needle would be ineffective, but I never expected that after the divine light was shattered, the divine needle actually pierced into the thick silk thread, just like a needle tip piercing in, but it only pierced in and did not pierce through. This shows how amazing the defense of this thing is.

“It helps a little, but that’s it.”

Li Yi was silent for a moment. Such an extremely sharp Feimu needle could only make a hole. Facing a thread as thick as a person, how many attacks would it take to cut it off?
In order to prevent the Feimu Needle from being damaged, he hurriedly controlled the Feimu Needle to fly back.

Even though it was just a small hole.

But when the Feimu needle was retracted, something crystal clear gushed out from the small hole, like a stream of energy condensed to the extreme. This energy was extraordinary, and it instantly burned everything around it, just like the sun that was so dazzling that people stopped in their tracks. However, the small hole that had a gap was quickly repaired, the wound disappeared, and it was back to normal.

The brilliant energy that gushed out gathered together and turned into a colorful stone, falling from mid-air.

Afterwards, the energy quickly converged, as if it had transformed from a god into a mortal being. The mysterious aura greatly diminished, and even the energy that burned everything also converged.

Seeing this, Li Yi immediately rushed over, stretched out his hand and grabbed the colorful stone.

As soon as he touched it, his expression suddenly changed.

All the cells in his body seemed to boil in an instant, and his entire palm quickly turned black and then melted. His skin immediately turned red as if it was roasted by fire.

Li Yi had this feeling before.

That was the first time I went to the cross-border base and felt the complete wonder, the Feather of the Luanfeng, up close.

The energy field of the Luanfeng Feather is extremely terrifying. You will be burned by the energy just by getting close to it. Every breath you take will make you feel your lungs are burning. Ordinary practitioners cannot get close at all.

In comparison, this piece of colorful stone is still relatively gentle. After all, Li Yi touched it with his own hands, while the phoenix feather had never touched it.

Didn't think much about it.

He immediately put the thing into a separate storage device to prevent it from destroying other items in the storage device.

With the disappearance of the colorful stones, Li Yi's burns got much better.

"Luckily, I have an amazing physique now. Otherwise, with the energy just now, if it were an ordinary Soul Realm cultivator, the energy that leaked out would have ignited his body immediately, or even exploded directly."

Li Yi looked at the burnt black marks on his palms and couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

hard to imagine.

Just a single puncture made by the Feimu needle can spew out such tremendous cosmic energy, and can even turn into a colorful energy stone.

No wonder this thing is so indestructible.

"Rumble"

The collapse of the building was accompanied by a loud noise on the ground. Li Yi was unable to stop this thing and could only watch his Peace Financial Building being hit by the glowing line and collapsed. It broke into two sections and became a dangerous building with only half left.

It had only been renovated not long ago, and Li Yi had hardly even lived in it.

Damn it.

Li Yi, who had always been used to being poor, suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

He swore that when he became powerful enough in the future, he would find out who was behind this and avenge his family.

Fortunately, Lan Ji calculated in advance, which gave Lin Yue and others time to retreat.

Although the Peace Financial Building collapsed, at least there were no casualties. The life cradle machine on the top floor was successfully recovered by the Thunder Fighter controlled by Lan Ji. This meant that the impact did not cause too much damage, and everything was within an acceptable range. After all, the important things were placed in the storage magic weapon by Li Yi and Lin Yue.

"Are you okay?"

Li Yi rushed back quickly. He raised his hand and the powerful energy raged, breaking through the ruins and clearing a path.

"It's okay. We hid in advance and there are no casualties." Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, Lu Jue, Zhao Xiaoxiao and other practitioners gathered again from all directions.

They looked at the building that had become ruins with helpless expressions on their faces.

Even if you have seen this kind of disaster, you are powerless to stop it.

"That's good. As long as no one is hurt, the building is destroyed." Li Yi said, "We still have to be careful next time. There are five or six such wires floating in the city. Who knows when they will come again."

His heart was heavy.

The city has been badly damaged at the beginning, and this is just the beginning.

"By the way, where is Niu Niu? Where did it go?" Suddenly, Li Yi discovered that his cow was missing.

"It's buried under the rubble. It didn't move just now and was hit hard by the collapsed building, but it looks like it should be fine. This strange beast has an amazing physique, and the impact of the building didn't hurt it at all." Lin Yue pointed to the ruins.

Soon, the ruins began to move.

Niu Niu poked his head out, his eyes clear and confused, as if he didn't know what was going on.

It was so immersed in the ocean of math problems that it had no time to care about anything else.

Seeing that it was fine, Li Yi was too lazy to care about it and looked in another direction of the city. He was unable to stop the glowing line, and Yang Wei didn't seem to be able to stop it either.

Or is it that he is unwilling to use supernatural powers?
But it is necessary now.

Five or six thin wires were wreaking havoc in the city, which was now almost destroyed, with not many buildings left.

This situation continued until after dawn.
