Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

Bai Yan continued to manipulate the tornado, sucking everyone inside.

Those at the front of the convoy noticed and immediately scattered and fled, but were quickly pulled back by the tornado.

Seeing that the situation was about right, Bai Yan continued to increase the height of the tornado, raising everyone high into the air.

He rode the wind, moving among the rising objects, searching carefully.

Then, remove the ability.

All people and things fell from the sky, and the dull thuds of them hitting the ground were deafening.

Bai Yan watched this scene from high in the air, and only descended to observe the situation after everything had landed.

"It seems they all died from the fall."

"Silenced and ready. Collect the spoils."

Based on their conversation, Bai Yan judged that Cocolia was unaware of everything that had happened.

She might be tied up with something and unable to get away, or the situation might be worse.

But that wasn't what Bai Yan was concerned about; he was searching each car one by one.

Finally, he found Wendy, still unconscious, inside a heavy vehicle.

"I'll give you the chance to get treatment, you poor girl..."

Bai Yan took out the golden pendant and waved it around Wendy. Soon, a burst of energy emanated from it, enveloping the girl's entire body.

The next moment, the signs of erosion on Wendy's body began to dissipate, her breathing became steady, her heartbeat became stronger, and her complexion became rosy.

It looked vibrant and full of life.

Wendy's eyelids twitched slightly, and Bai Yan immediately became alert. Seeing that she was showing signs of waking up, he quickly got up and left.

"In this way, the desire for the gem is unknown to others; I can make up a story to absolve myself of this responsibility."

Bai Yan was overjoyed; he had another trump card up his sleeve. Perfect.

Judging from various signs, although I am not a Herrscher of the Feathered Realm, I can at least control my powers as easily as an extension of my own arm.

For a Herrscher, knowledge is power.

I, the Herald of the Wind, used to be a test-taker in a small town.

Bai Yan tossed her hair, activated her powers, and rose with the wind, flying close to the ground once again.

Keep a low profile and try to avoid being discovered.

"Bronya is nowhere to be found. Life won't be easy for her since she was taken away by Cocolia."

He didn't have his communicator with him either, and had completely lost contact with everyone else.

Bai Yan decided to return to the meeting point they had agreed upon before making a final decision.

Surrounded by air currents, her ice-blue dress fluttered in the wind, creating a feeling of unbridled freedom that was hard to resist.

Bai Yan had no regrets about giving Wendy one chance to heal.

Recommended by Theresa to participate in implantation experiments, she was later used as a gem container for a long time, suffering not only lifelong disability but also enduring pain day and night.

That kind of pain is something Bai Yan would never want to relive even once, let alone Wendy, who endured it for so long.

She did nothing wrong, yet no one saved her.

Bai Yan felt it was worth it.

He has two more chances, one of which he already has a candidate in mind, but he needs the right opportunity.

Bai Yan rode the wind at an ever-increasing speed.

Cocolia was outmaneuvered, the World Serpent's schemes were orchestrated, and destiny's move was executed; the city has now become a battlefield for a three-way war.

As the biggest beneficiary at present, Bai Yan has no intention of fighting and only wants to run away with his people.

As dawn approached, the moon gradually descended, and the moonlight became faint.

But the massive, dark mass of metal blocks in front of them was still very conspicuous.

Bai Yan slowed down and gripped the crowbar tightly.

There are more than 20 of them, and they are all powerful melee units with shields and close-quarters combat capabilities.

They are standing in a circle, seemingly besieging a target.

Bai Yan quietly flew to the treetop, looked into the field, and immediately frowned.

It was Rita, panting as she leaned on her giant scythe, her hair disheveled and her body bearing considerable injuries.

Raven emerged from the group of mechs, her clothes now changed.

"Still not surrendering? You'll die if you keep fighting, you S-rank of Destiny."

Volume 1: Chapter 47: Sister Ta Zi, what happened to you...?

"Surrender if you don't want to die, and I won't kill you."

The raven regained its confidence and finally realized that its previous defeat was due to carelessness.

Otherwise, how could this S-class Valkyrie have fallen into my hands?

Unfortunately, the opponent still had the will to fight and had no intention of giving up, even though he was covered in wounds.

Bai Yan, who was not far away, observed for a moment, then enveloped his entire body in a wind barrier, and his figure disappeared instantly.

"Despicable, they actually launched a sneak attack." Rita knelt on one knee, her tone not harsh, but in her heart she was actually thinking of a way to break the deadlock.

"Ah, all's fair in war. And letting one's guard down in a war zone is the most fatal mistake a soldier can make—"

Suddenly, the crowbar shot out like a cannonball, whipping up a storm as it hurtled towards the raven.

The latter dodged reflexively, but it was too late.

She was hit squarely in the back by the tremendous impact, and was sent flying.

"Pfft—"

The raven flew out in a spectacular parabola, then tumbled and rolled after landing, seemingly covered in countless new wounds.

The mech then realized what was happening and immediately opened fire in the direction where Bai Yan had started to stand.

But Bai Yan had already moved and arrived in front of the raven.

The crowbar was stuck in his back, but it didn't seem to penetrate his body due to his protective gear.

"Tsk, not enough force."

"You...you escaped?!"

"If you can find clothes even with your bare bottom exposed, why can't I escape? But your injuries heal really fast, what kind of technique is that?"

"Hmph! Despicable! They actually launched a sneak attack!" Raven gritted his teeth, as if enduring the pain of his injuries.

"Didn't you say that losing vigilance in a war zone is the most fatal mistake a soldier can make?"

"I'm not a soldier! I'm just an assassin!"

Bai Yan looked her up and down: "So, you don't belong to any organization?"

"Of course!"

"That means you have no connections. We'll take you back and hand you over to the bishop for judgment—you must know our greatest bishop of Destiny very well, right?"

The raven was terrified and quickly slid down the rails to admit defeat.

"No, no, no! I'll give you anything you want! Just don't hand me over!"

Bai Yan touched her body and pulled out a short sword.

Ordinary Honkai energy weapons are used by ranged classes for self-defense; they are not Divine Keys.

It seems even the World Serpent isn't confident in this guy's strength.

"Remove the mechs."

"it is good."

Raven spoke a few words into the communicator, and then all the mechs shut down, with the autonomous cockpits detaching directly, and there was a faint smell of burning.

"There must be a spare, right?"

"It's gone. The built-in backup power has all burned out."

"Here's another one for you. Your companion was ambushed before he met me and was poisoned. I could tell."

Bai Yan understood and took the small bottle.

Finally, he stabbed the raven in each of its four limbs, and the raven finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This means I shouldn't get involved in the upcoming battle; I just need to survive.

She still has so much of her life ahead of her to enjoy!

Bai Yan walked up to Rita, and when she saw his face clearly, she finally smiled with relief.

"I never expected that you would save me instead, Xiao Yan."

"Can you still move?"

"I can still..."

Before she could even utter the word "以", Rita collapsed onto Bai Yan, her breathing becoming rapid.

"I……"

"It's okay, just take a nap and you'll be fine."

Bai Yan treated Rita with the antidote and bandaged her wounds. Soon after, Rita fell into a coma, her delicate body nestled completely in his arms.

It's almost certain that she came to rescue him, and that she was ambushed more than once along the way.

If Durandal has also arrived, then she is very likely being held back by someone right now.

"What is World Serpent up to? Even Durandal is entangled, how much effort must they be putting in?"

Just as Bai Yan was pondering this, Rita woke up again, leaving him somewhat speechless.

To be able to wake up like this, truly worthy of the Innate Scroll King's Sacred Body.

"Lady Durandal is being held up, and there is still no news."

"Are you really sure you can do it right now?"

"The poison has been completely neutralized, and I've rested well and am perfectly fine," she said with a smile, touching Bai Yan's face.

She then forced herself to get up, broke free from Bai Yan's embrace, and picked up the sickle again.

"Let's go help her!"

Bai Yan could only nod.

Rita was pale at the moment, but fortunately, after Bai Yan examined her, he found that apart from a slight feeling of weakness caused by some aftereffects of the detoxification, she was not seriously injured.

Bai Yan followed silently behind Rita, not wanting to reveal that he had fused with the Gem of Desire.

Rita looked at the Genius in her hand, feeling somewhat anxious.

Since meeting Durandal, her communications have remained unanswered.

Was he entangled and unable to break free, or...?

She dared not think about it, she just kept moving forward.

However, halfway there, another group of mechs blocked their path.

"That's enough for you two. We can't let you pass."

The two stopped and looked up to see a humanoid entity made entirely of metal.

Bai Yan recognized the gray snake.

This is just one of the clones; it's hard to imagine what the other clones are doing right now.

"It's just a pile of scrap metal. Xiao Yan, cover for me!"

After saying that, she picked up the giant scythe and started hacking at the mech.
