Chapter 112: Insect Human

Chapter 112 -104: Insect Human

‘So this is what it feels like to fly?’

A hundred meters high in the sky, Chen Qi zipped past one building after another, leaving Talin City behind in the blink of an eye.

At first, he still needed to land to launch himself again.

But he grew more and more familiar with controlling the surrounding air currents. Especially after reaching a certain speed, the air around him became like the surface of water; he only needed to paddle with his hands to propel himself forward at high speed.

Of course, aside from his incredible speed, his ability to do this was also related to the magnetic levitation function of his Exoskeleton Armor.

But at this point, Chen Qi had not yet broken the sound barrier; a wall of air stubbornly blocked him.

That is, until he instinctively unleashed the Red Falcon Fist. BOOM!

SCREECH!

The shattered air let out a sharp cry, as if a new Red Falcon King had been born.

What streaked across the sky was no longer Chen Qi encased in his Exoskeleton Armor, but a giant Red Falcon formed entirely of air currents.

Chen Qi’s arms became the Red Falcon’s wings. A casual flap could shatter the air, triggering successive sonic booms.

As Chen Qi’s speed grew, so did the Red Falcon of air currents. After reaching a certain limit, it had transformed into a behemoth with a thirty-meter wingspan.

Of course, this was just a visual afterimage formed by the turbulent wake of shattered air. The actual range of air currents Chen Qi could control was only about ten or so meters.

And he achieved all this relying solely on his physical strength and his understanding of air currents.

If Feng Xingyun could have seen this, he probably could have died without regrets.

…

RUMBLE~

As the giant Red Falcon swept by at a low altitude, the air vibrated and the earth trembled in its wake.

Since everyone already knew the Executor had come to Talin City, Chen Qi didn’t plan on keeping a low profile this time.

It was time to display his power and intimidate the rabble.

Chen Qi’s passage was like a hurricane, or a continuous barrage of stun grenades blanketing the ground.

Although he didn’t cause much physical damage, everything in his path—human or animal—was left trembling, their world spinning.

Soon, Talin City would likely be buzzing with talk of an unidentified monstrous creature passing through.

Perhaps in a few years, a new urban legend would be born.

…

’96, 97, 98, 99…’

Chen Qi counted the seconds silently. One hundred seconds later, the Fadir Mine was in full view.

As luck would have it, the armed militants who had attacked the mine earlier were just then driving away.

“What is that?”

One of the militants in a car happened to spot something flying toward them.

But it would be the last question he ever asked. In the next instant, the giant Red Falcon swept past. It dipped its left wing, and three SUVs were instantly sliced into countless fragments by Vacuum Qi Blades.

And this was merely a minor application of the Ten Blades Style from the Red Falcon Fist.

‘If I’m going to do this, I’ll see it through to the bitter end.’

‘There’s no need for any life form with a life level over 2 to exist within a five-kilometer radius of this mine.’

Anyone here at the Fadir Mine right now couldn’t possibly be innocent.

Not even a goat would wander through this godforsaken place, let alone a person.

The Life Radar on his Exoskeleton Armor initiated a full-power scan.

The next moment, Chen Qi swept past an abandoned mine shaft.

‘Wind God Cannon!’

BOOM! The giant Red Falcon hurled a terrifying vortex of air into the entrance, and the mine shaft instantly collapsed.

The few militants hiding inside were torn to shreds by the vortex before they could even comprehend what was happening.

‘Damn it, has this place become a rat’s nest?’

‘Why are so many rats scurrying about in the shadows here?’

The terrifying Red Falcon swept over a ravine. And as ill luck would have it, a man dressed in black was right there, packing up observation equipment.

This was the very edge of the mine. The guy was both cautious and a coward.

But against the Life Detector’s scan, a mere mortal had nowhere to hide.

‘Ten Blades Style.’

RUMBLE!

The enraged Red Falcon flapped its wings. Two Vacuum Qi Blades, each dozens of meters long, crisscrossed, and the ravine was instantly leveled.

And just like that, an intelligence operative—meticulously placed by Spade 7 to keep long-term surveillance on the Fadir Mine—was tragically eliminated.

He had only just sent a report to his boss, stating that another party had their eyes on the location.

‘Strange, what on earth is hiding down there?’

SCREECH! SCREECH! SCREECH! The giant Red Falcon soared over the mine, and the entire area began to tremble from the gales and sonic waves.

It wasn’t that Chen Qi’s power was so heaven-defying he could shake the very heavens and earth.

Rather, the mine’s environment was unique; it was riddled with tunnels and shafts, making the reverberations especially intense.

As he passed over a patch of low-lying shrubs, the Life Radar showed a bizarre reading.

The life level was only 1.5, but the readings were densely packed and frighteningly numerous.

Perhaps because he was on a roll, Chen Qi couldn’t be bothered to think and just decided to wipe the area clean.

‘Supersonic Saber.’

Perhaps it was due to something he had gained from his spiritual clash with the Red Falcon King. As his flight became more and more proficient, Chen Qi naturally unleashed the Red Falcon King’s signature move.

In the next instant, the patch of low-lying shrubs—thirty meters wide and hundreds of meters long—was cleaved in two.

As waves of earth rolled back, a two-meter-deep trench was revealed, carved into the ground by the Supersonic Saber.

‘Are those… insects?’

A passing glance revealed several oversized beetles.

It seemed his last attack hadn’t caused much damage.

‘Interesting. I wonder whose handiwork this is.’

‘But it doesn’t matter. I’ll just destroy them and figure it out later!’

Ordinary insects have a life level below 1. For insects with a life level exceeding 1.5 to appear in the mine… Chen Qi instinctively felt that this was a very bad sign.
