Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"But is this really okay? These machines must be expensive. I saw so many of them broken down on the roadside just now. For the sake of the Immortal Ship... your train is really going all out."

"It should be fine," Dan Heng said confidently.

Since Yan Huan did this, the losses must be within a controllable range.

Su Chang spoke again:

"Speaking of which, on our celestial ship, the fox people and the Vidyadharas also have their own farewell ceremonies. I have seen fox warriors place their deceased comrades in star rafts and let them drift to distant stars—they call this the 'Zhengshou Qingqiu' ceremony."

"As for the Vidyadharas, they are rather mysterious. It is said that if a Vidyadhara lives a long time, or is injured and near death, they will transform into a pearl-like egg, and then hatch into a newborn child..."

“My mother calls the Chiming clan ‘Dragon Descendants.’ In the stories my mother told me when I was little, the Chiming clan could all transform into giant dragons. I don’t know if it’s true…”

As Su Chang reminisced, Dan Heng suddenly spoke up:

"It's true. However... only special Vidyadharas can transform into dragons."

"Wow, your train crew knows a thing or two about this?"

Dan Heng pursed his lips, unsure of where to begin.

After thinking about it, I decided to simply provide a basic science explanation:

“The Vidyadharas are descendants of dragons and immortal star gods. Therefore, some Vidyadharas were once able to transform into dragons, but not everyone has this aptitude.”

“Oh? Then who has the qualifications?” Su Chang raised an eyebrow.

Chapter 261 Your name is Rakshasa?

"This power is a rare inheritance, and it must be received through numerous rituals and trials. For the one who wields it... it is hardly a blessing."

Danheng continued speaking to Sushang:

"Perhaps you have heard the story of the immortal dragon and his offspring. Many myths praise His perfect and immortal life."

"However, life has its limits. Even the stars cannot be called immortal and will eventually pass away."

Seeing that they had rested enough, Danheng spoke to Sushang:

"Miss Su Chang, we should continue."

"Yep."

The two continued deeper, clearing out the ever-increasing number of monsters.

If they encounter a living person along the way, and if the person is still breathing, the two of them will take them away first.

If you come across the body of a deceased person.

Then we'll just have to take them to an open space first, try to keep their bodies intact, and wait for the Cloud Cavalry Army, who are specifically in charge of this area, to arrive. That way, we can at least give them some face.

"Ah—!! What are you doing?!"

Suddenly, Su Chang and Dan Heng heard the voices of living people coming from ahead.

Dan Heng frowned and said:

"It seems someone has perished up ahead."

"Let's go quickly!" Su Chang hurriedly brandished her greatsword and rushed towards the direction from which the voice came.

After running through two alleys, the two saw a seriously injured Cloud Rider.

At this moment, he was being held down on the ground by a demonic soldier, his legs struggling violently!

But it was still to no avail.

"Old Jia—!! Cough cough cough… How did you suddenly fall into the demonic possession?! You really know how to pick your timing!!"

"Roar--!!"

The demonic soldiers roared madly, their steps crushing the bellies of the cloud cavalry!

He slowly raised his right hand, which held a chillingly sharp blade, and thrust it fiercely towards Yunqi's neck!

"Stop!!" Dan Heng reacted quickly and threw the spear.

The sharp spear tip flashed like lightning, piercing the chest of the demonic soldier with a "thud"!

The latter staggered back a few steps in pain, letting out a muffled roar.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Chang quickly ran over and dragged the Yunqi over.

"Are you OK?!"

"I-I'm fine!"

Yunqi was still in shock, his pupils wide open, looking at the demonic soldiers in the distance with a complicated expression, his chest heaving violently.

Dan Heng said in a deep voice:

"Was that the name of that demonic soldier you just called out?"

"Yes...yes!"

Yunqi was panting heavily:

"He... he's a Cloud Cavalryman from my unit, you must show mercy!"

"Understood." Dan Heng silently replied, then looked up and charged forward towards the demonic soldier.

Su Chang squatted down beside Yun Qi and said regretfully:

"I'm sorry, as you know, our mission is to prioritize bringing the living back. The deceased can only be temporarily moved to an open area. As for the Cloud Riders who are trapped in the demonic possession..."

"I, I understand."

The cloud cavalryman sighed heavily:

“His lifespan is far too long. Even if we bring him back… there’s no way to suppress his demonic body.”

"And your injury..." Su Chang's gaze slowly moved downwards.

The cloud rider had a long gash in his abdomen, from which blood was still gushing out.

"Oh, it's alright... cough cough, it's alright!" Yunqi gave an awkward smile.

"You're still not alright even in this state? We need to get you out of here!"

"No. No... I have to go further ahead."

"What's going on up ahead?" Su Chang asked, completely bewildered.

This person is so badly injured, why are they still thinking of rushing in?

"The puppet judge of the Ten Kings' Division is still inside; her condition is probably not much better than mine."

"But you..."

Just as Su Chang was in a dilemma.

She heard slow footsteps behind her.

"?"

"Who?!"

Su Chang suddenly turned around and met the eyes of a blond, blue-eyed man.

"Hey? Rakshasa, what are you doing here?"

When Su Chang asked the question, the blond man did not answer.

They seemed somewhat bewildered.

Then, she smiled faintly.

It was only then that Su Chang noticed that the blond man's hair was tied up and that he was wearing a uniform that looked like that of some organization.

"Young lady, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

"Then you are...?"

"My name is Otto Apocalypse. It's a pleasure to meet you all here. Is there anything... I can help you with?"

"?!!"

Su Chang stared at Otto's face, her eyes widening in surprise.

I remember before, when that woman who flew on a sword met Rakshasa, she kept saying that his real name must be Otto.

At the time, Su Chang was wondering why that woman was so certain.

Unexpectedly, she actually ran into him today!

"Wow, you really look like a Rakshasa!"

"Rakshasa...? Haha."

Otto chuckled softly, silently observing her simple appearance, and slowly spoke:

"Young lady... could your surname be Li?"

"Uh...yes, how did you know my surname is Li? People here usually call me Sushang."

"I see."

The blond man nodded thoughtfully, then looked down at the Cloud Riders and asked:

"Miss Su Chang, may I take a look at this brother's injuries?"

"you?"

At this moment, Dan Heng, who had just finished clearing out the monsters around him, noticed the commotion and slowly walked over.

“This is…the bishop?” Danheng asked.

Back in the museum in Yalilo, Otto was once called over by Yan to help out.

Based on her elegant appearance and excellent manners, she received high praise from many women within just a few hours of receiving guests.

That seemed to be the day with the best performance.

"Hmm? Mr. Danheng, I didn't expect to meet you here," Otto said in a deep voice.
