Chapter 349. Jiang Jianxin vs. Wen Yu
【Wait... you've already set out?】

On a mountaintop outside the Ideal Thirteen Cities, the night wind swept through the sparse woodland, carrying the dryness and chill unique to the West.

An invisible wave of consciousness rippled through the air, a whisper of intuition in the mind.

The moonlight, as clear as water, was obscured by a thin layer of dust, making the night appear even more murky.

A figure stood atop the towering tree canopy, the slender pine branches bending only slightly at her feet, demonstrating her superb skills.

She wore a jet-black robe, the wide hood obscuring most of her face, with only the sharp lines of her jawline faintly visible in the shadows. In her right hand, she carried a long, seemingly ordinary black broom.

A faint golden light rippled from the broom head, shining exceptionally brightly in the darkness.

Didn't I analyze this for you yesterday?

Jiang Jianxin responded calmly in his mind, his gaze piercing through the night, locking onto the vast city in the distance, crouching beneath a blue-purple fantasy barrier—the Dream Pavilion's headquarters.

[The foresight team positioned themselves well, drawing most of the blind master's attention to Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals.]

The night breeze rustled the corner of her black robe. She slightly adjusted her weight, and the pine branches swayed gently.

So... rescuing Wen Yu now is just right.

Since there's an opportunity, why not seize it?

Once her thoughts were out, she didn't linger.

Jiang Jianxin's figure flickered, like a black crow blending into the night, gracefully gliding down from the top of the treetop, silently stealthily heading towards the brightly lit city below the mountain.

[You want to directly attack Wen Yu's ideal six cities and then awaken Wen Yu from control?]

Intuition asked in my mind.

Jiang Jianxin simply said:

[That's right, I've completely surrounded Ideal City 6 by myself.]

With a slight twist of her wrist, she swung the broom forward smoothly.

"Om————"

A massive golden wave rose up in response, like the first rays of sunlight at sunrise, spreading out across the inky black night sky.

The light, like molten gold, spilled across the night sky.

Golden waves surged and rose higher and higher, pushing against the blue-purple fantasy barrier that enveloped the city.

There was no earth-shattering roar, only a faint hissing sound like melting ice and snow.

The moment the golden wave touched the barrier, the blue-purple light wall silently transformed into wisps of black mist and dissipated in the night wind.

"Om————"

Almost simultaneously, city sirens blared below, their piercing alarms tearing through the night sky.

Dozens of searchlight beams pierced the darkness like sharp swords, sweeping across the air in an attempt to lock onto the figure hovering high above.

Jiang Jianxin smiled slightly, straddled the broom, and charged forward at high speed.

"Woo——"

She nimbly weaved through the gaps in the beams of light, her clothes fluttering in the wind. Each daring dodge was perfectly timed, and the searchlights were always a step behind her, only able to illuminate the night sky behind her in vain.

Just as she was about to break free from the net of light, she suddenly turned sharply and swung the broom in the backhand.

"Whoosh—Boom—"

"Whoosh—boom—"

Several golden energy balls shot out from the tip of the broom, tracing dazzling trajectories and accurately hitting the distant searchlight platform.

In the instant the golden light exploded, shimmering waves splashed like rain, and one searchlight tower after another collapsed amidst the roar. The "eyes" in the city's sky went out one after another, and the night returned to its complete state.

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

After clearing out the searchlight platform, Jiang Jianxin raised his wrist, and the broom suddenly swept into the sky.

The night wind whistled past her ears, and as she looked up and down, dozens of armed drones swarmed down from the low sky like locusts.

The drones' dark muzzles spat fire, weaving a dense net of bullets. At the same time, a "gurgling" sound came from behind.

She turned around and saw bubbles from the childhood series of mortars slowly rising, clustered together, densely packed, covering most of the sky.

These bubbles refracted dazzling colors under the moonlight, seemingly light and dreamlike, yet carrying a suffocating sense of oppression, sealing off all escape routes.

Caught in a pincer movement, the situation was extremely perilous.

Jiang Jianxin stood firmly on the broom, spoke clearly into the Bluetooth headset, his voice calm and undisturbed:
"Ayu, turn off the surveillance equipment below."

"Om..."

A low hum seemed to come from underground.

In an instant, dozens of giant electronic screens in Ideal City flashed with static, and all the still-operating surveillance cameras and high-altitude detectors went out of service.

In that fleeting moment of chaotic light and shadow, Jiang Jianxin shifted his body to the side, wielding his broom and disappearing into the shadows cast by the buildings.

She swiftly drew a paper sword from her bosom, flicked it lightly with her fingertips, and uttered a clear shout:
"Peach Blossom Sword!"

"Om..."

The sound of swords rang out, and a sudden gust of wind arose.

A powerful sword aura, carrying the force of the wind, transformed into an invisible giant wave that swept towards the low-flying drone swarm.

The drone was swept up by the gale like a falling leaf, and involuntarily crashed into the overwhelming array of bubbles behind it.

"Crash—Bang! Thump thump thump—"

At the moment of impact, explosions resounded one after another in the sky, and the bubbles and mechanical debris burst into clusters of blazing flames, illuminating the night sky in an intermittent manner.

Amidst the chaotic flames and explosions, Jiang Jianxin steered his broomstick into a streak of light, hurtling towards the most imposing headquarters building in the city center.

On the top floor of the building, in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, Wen Yu stood with his hands behind his back.

His previously dull and expressionless eyes suddenly stirred, and he looked out the window at the night sky as if sensing something.

When the black figure riding a broom, hurtling through the air, came into view, he frowned almost imperceptibly and slowly raised his right hand.

"nothingness--"

As the deep syllables fell, a faint, firefly-like light emanated from his fingertips.

In an instant, the blue-purple illusory light rippled out like water.

Jiang Jianxin felt the scene before him suddenly reverse, the original sky turned into an upside-down deep blue body of water, and a cold, suffocating feeling surged in from all directions.

Countless small blue-purple fish, formed from imagination, appeared out of thin air from both sides of this illusory water. They swung their translucent tail fins, making sharp whooshing sounds as they charged towards Jiang Jianxin like a dense rain of arrows.

Jiang Jianxin's face remained expressionless as she lightly flicked her fingertip across the paper sword—

"Buzz!"

With a clear and melodious sword cry, the small paper sword suddenly expanded, transforming into a solid, flowing giant sword that steadily supported her figure, suspending her in the inverted water.

Almost simultaneously, she swung the black broom with her other hand and swept it horizontally towards the school of fish.

"boom--!"

Wherever it swept, the space hummed under its strain, and a powerful golden wave of energy surged out, colliding violently with the surging school of fish.

The blue-purple illusory light field, like shattered glass, began to tremble violently and disintegrate inch by inch.

"Buzz—"

Amidst the chaotic shattering sounds, a soul-piercing scream descended from above.

Jiang Jianxin narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze piercing through the dissipating fragments of the illusionary realm, looking upwards—

A gigantic blue fish, whose size was immeasurable, was slowly swimming out from behind the headquarters building.

Its body covered the entire sky, its scales shimmering with a deep, ethereal light, completely obscuring the bright moonlight.

At this moment, the entire Ideal City 6 was shrouded in its boundless, swaying shadow.

A user asked what "cycle" means. "Cycle" is similar to reincarnation; after completing one lifetime, it's the first cycle. You can rewind to a previous timeline to save and revert, or you can return to the beginning of the story to start a second cycle. "Multiple cycles" means you've rewound and restarted countless times.
