Chapter 304. The Spreading War (1)

"Om——"

An invisible gravitational field suddenly spread, and the group of planes circling in the distant sky paused abruptly, then plummeted like kites with broken strings.

"Boom-boom-"

The continuous explosions shook the earth, and the flames and heat waves from the plane crashes tore the already devastated city apart, making it even more shocking.

Just as the last few planes were about to crash into the ground, a beam of intense light swept across from the direction of the Rose Group, precisely enveloping them.

Wherever the light reached, the two hundred times gravity that had been firmly holding the plane seemed to be instantly erased.

Deprived of the pressure, the fuselage rose again, steadily ascending into the air, as if gently lifted by an invisible hand, and suspended in the sky once more.

Chi Piao's gaze passed over the dilapidated buildings and landed on the figure that slowly emerged from behind the building.

In the chilly early morning wind, a sliver of dawn was already seeping across the horizon, and the golden glow of the sunset was spreading silently, turning the clouds into a broken streak of light.

The person slowly floated into the air from this golden light, wearing a long robe woven with tassels and gauze, the hem of the robe fluttering lightly in the dim light, like clouds and mist.

Her golden hair flew freely, each strand seemingly soaked in the morning light, forming a hazy and sacred halo around her.

She was indeed radiant—a soft, clearly visible glow in a physical sense, as if she herself were a walking dawn.

Chi Piao's lips curled up slightly as she whispered:
"The war expert of the Rose Group... Lord 'Guide'?"

……

At this moment, a thousand meters away, Jiang Jianxin was originally watching the battle from high in the sky, but the moment the orange floated up and summoned the dark road, she landed on the ground and returned to the pollution command center of Rose Traffic in Qiubai City.

The dark road stretches endlessly, and she might get blocked up high in the air.

In fact, Jiang Jianxin's prediction was correct. Those dark roads radiated outwards from Xiayang City, as if they were transporting people out.

If she stayed at the same height, she would easily be blocked by the constantly rising road surface.

Back at the command post, Jiang Jianxin sat alone on the sofa in the reception room for a while.

The roaring sound from the neighboring city continued to vibrate the air. She looked down at her phone, scrolling through the news, when she suddenly caught two soft meows.

"Meow~"

"Meow~"

"Hey, a kitten?"

She looked up and saw a blue-eyed Persian cat gracefully slip in through the door, a fluffy ball of fur, proudly meowing at her again.

Jiang Jianxin reached out and rubbed its head, recognizing it as "Guide" Cecily's cat.

At that moment, a familiar little girl walked out from behind the door and came to her.

Jiang Jianxin glanced at it and asked:
"Why did Cecily leave her cat at command post?"

She spent a few months at Rose Transportation and got to know some of the powerful warriors from the Rose Group.

Guide Cecily is one of them; she is currently the strongest in the Light War.

The young girl in front of them was also a powerful figure in the Rose Group. She was a support-type character and knew both of them.

“Cecily has gone to the battlefield. Black Eye Pharmaceuticals has sent the Lord of Drifting to fight in Xiayang City. Rose Transportation has basically sent all its troops to fight in Qiubai City.”

The little girl answered earnestly.

She bent down, picked up the kitten, and placed it in Jiang Jianxin's arms, saying:
"Please take care of Blue Bubble, Your Highness. I'm going to the battlefield soon."

Before the words were finished, a blond man suddenly appeared in the doorway and shouted:
"Della, it's time to go."

That was her support partner.

Jiang Jianxin waved goodbye to the two. After watching the two support-type ability users leave, she hugged the kitten and scrolled through her phone for a while, then glanced at her watch—it was time to set off for the next contaminated area to carry out a cleanup mission.

According to her contract with Rose Transportation, her duties were limited to handling contaminated areas, and she was not obligated to participate in the war between Rose Group and Black Eye Pharmaceuticals.

Jiang Jianxin, carrying the kitten that was her guide, pushed open the door and stepped out. In that instant, an intuitive prompt flashed into her mind like lightning:

[Quickly, raise your shields!]

Without the slightest hesitation, a pure white protective aura instantly rose around Jiang Jianxin.

Almost at the same instant, a deafening roar suddenly exploded above her head, as if the sky were collapsing.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying heat wave, powerful enough to melt steel, roared down and completely engulfed her.

She could clearly hear the piercing sizzling sound of her own air shield being roasted by the high temperature.

The barrier that once seemed so solid is now rapidly thinning and becoming transparent at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, with a faint but clear cracking sound, the shield completely collapsed.

"Om——"

Without the barrier, the devastating heatwave hits you directly.

Jiang Jianxin's eyes widened, reflecting a scorching light that seemed to devour everything, as he watched in disbelief as the intense heat of death instantly engulfed him.

……

Thousands of miles away, on the edge of a desolate city.

Under the blazing sun, the scorching rays baked the cracked earth.

A desolate graveyard lay silently beneath the blazing sun, the air thick with the scent of dry earth and withered grass.

Suddenly, the soil on a grave mound began to loosen unnaturally.

Dry clods of earth rolled down, and a blue stone tombstone suddenly emerged from the ground.

It was lifted upwards by a brute force from the ground, and the monument made a grating, screeching sound as it rubbed against the sand and gravel, which seemed particularly jarring in the dead of midday.

The sunlight instantly illuminated the mottled inscriptions on the monument, and also revealed the damp mud clinging to it, a dampness from deep underground that was out of place with the surrounding dry environment.

The ground around the tombstone writhed violently, cracking open in numerous fissures.

A pale hand suddenly emerged from the crack beside the monument, its five fingers digging fiercely into the scorching hot, dry earth, the knuckles turning white from the force.

The other hand also broke through the ground, and with both hands supporting it, it suddenly pulled the upper body out of the narrow grave.

Dirt splattered everywhere, dry dust and cold mud mixed together, falling down in a flurry.

Jiang Jianxin suddenly leaned forward, coughing violently as she inhaled the scorching air. The sunlight was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes for a moment.

Her head and face were covered in mud that was half-dry and half-wet, her hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks, and her clothes looked even more tattered from being soaked and rubbed by the mud.

Almost the instant she came into contact with the sunlight, that voice rang out in her mind without any hesitation:
Your shield isn't working either.

Jiang Jianxin squinted under the sun, spat out the dry sand in his mouth, raised his hand to shield his forehead, and replied helplessly:

I didn't attain enlightenment through cultivating the shield; I'm a Sword Master, not a Shield Master.

You're treating me like a one-dimensional warrior.

Jiang Jianxin glanced around, frowned slightly, and said:
What just happened? Why didn't I respawn on the spot?

Intuitively, I answered:
[You can't resurrect on the spot; resurrecting on the spot is equivalent to never being able to resurrect again, so the power of death has moved your grave.]
