"Ratatatatata—!"
Giant Gorge City, Feiliu District Airport Road.
At this moment, the area had plunged into a sea of fire.
Thick smoke billowed everywhere, explosions echoing nonstop.
"Damn it! Bullets are completely useless against those alien dogs!"
"Use the tank cannons! Blast them to hell!"
"Machine-gun cover! Cover fire!"
"…!"
Amid the furious shouting, Huaxia's military forces poured dense streams of bullets and raging fire into the sky, targeting the Taotie soldiers riding their flying boards.
Machine-gun muzzles spat long chains of flame.
Several heavy tanks fired thunderous salvos.
"Hahahaha! Weapons at this level think they can hurt us? Don't overestimate yourselves."
"So Blue Star's technology is only this much? Looks like our earlier caution was totally unnecessary!"
"Then let us offer even more deaths to our god!"
"Hahahahaha—!"
The Taotie in the air moved at terrifying speed.
The Huaxia forces positioned behind the battle lines couldn't even lock onto them properly.
All they could do was blanket the area with machine-gun fire, hoping to score hits by sheer volume—but the number of actual hits was pitifully low.
More importantly—
Against the Taotie's armor, these bullets were nothing more than scratches.
They couldn't even leave a mark on the surface.
As for the tanks, they were simply too clumsy—unable to hit agile aerial targets.
Even when a shell barely grazed them, it caused no real damage.
After testing and confirming the firepower along Airport Road, the Taotie burst into unrestrained laughter.
Their contempt for Blue Star only deepened.
They raised their railguns and began firing.
Each purple beam meant lives being snuffed out.
Whether it was infantry behind machine-gun barricades, or heavily armored tanks—
All were reduced to wreckage beneath the explosive violet blasts.
"What… what is this…?"
Qilin, having just gotten out of her police car, stared at the blazing battlefield ahead.
Her eyes widened in horror.
The "terrorists" mentioned in the broadcast—
Were actually aliens flying through the sky!
At that moment, a Taotie noticed her.
"Blue Star native—die!"
It raised its arm and fired a railgun shot.
Qilin's mind went completely blank.
Her limbs turned cold.
Under the threat of death, time seemed to slow.
Her vision sharpened, and she clearly saw the trajectory of the railgun beam—straight toward her chest.
But her body refused to move.
All she could do was watch helplessly as the beam closed in—
"Clang!"
The sound of metal colliding rang out.
"Looks like this famous scene got interrupted by me."
A light, almost casual male voice snapped Qilin back to her senses.
She stared blankly at the hand extended in front of her.
Following the arm upward, a handsome face came into view.
It was Lin Fei.
He had arrived on the Illusion-Scale Flash Shuttle.
The moment he reached the scene, he saw this exact situation unfolding.
He accelerated instantly, rushed in front of Qilin, and caught the railgun shot with his bare hand.
"Catching a railgun barehanded—A-Fei, doesn't that hurt?"
Su Xiaoli, hugging him from behind, asked curiously.
"Of course it doesn't. Don't believe me? Take a look."
Lin Fei sat casually on the shuttle, one leg resting on the ground.
He turned sideways and held out his hand.
Su Xiaoli carefully touched his palm, which still trailed wisps of blue smoke.
There wasn't even a scratch.
"A-Fei, you're amazing!"
"This is nothing—just child's play."
Though he was clearly showing off, it truly didn't hurt.
After all, he hadn't blocked it recklessly.
Even without armor, he'd activated the abnormal energy within his body.
At that moment, the Taotie who had fired at Qilin finally realized something was wrong.
Its attack hadn't killed the Blue Star woman—
It had been stopped by this sudden newcomer.
Stopped… with a hand.
Was this some technology it hadn't detected?
The other Taotie noticed as well.
Lin Fei was far too conspicuous.
They immediately stopped attacking the Huaxia troops and focused all their attention on him.
"What are you?" one of them demanded.
"Heh…"
Lin Fei stepped off the Illusion-Scale Flash Shuttle and took two steps forward.
He slicked back his hair with both hands, confidence written all over his face.
"A Blue Star human."
Taotie: "..."
The Taotie exchanged glances.
This red-haired "god-river body" in front of them—
Seemed like there was something wrong with his head.
"Hm?"
Just then, Lin Fei's phone rang in his pocket.
"Ignite belief—energy surges without limit."
"Earthquake celestial spin—piercing through black-hole space."
It was his own voice—his custom ringtone.
Since all the Taotie in the air were focused on Lin Fei and had stopped firing,
the Huaxia forces below also halted cautiously, watching the standoff.
The ringtone echoed clearly—and awkwardly—across the battlefield.
"Uh… hold on a second. Let me take this call."
"Hello? Leona—yeah, I'm already at Airport Road. Can't pick you up."
"Wait, what? You'll still need quite a bit of time to get here?"
"That's fine. Let me count… one, two, three… hmm, a few left!"
As he spoke, Lin Fei casually raised a hand and slapped aside another railgun shot fired at him.
He pulled the phone slightly away from his ear and shouted up at the Taotie holding the railgun:
"Hey, hey—don't you know it's rude to sneak attack someone while they're on the phone?"
"Have some manners, will you?"
"Didn't your parents teach you that?"
"Oh, sorry—my bad. You don't look human. Guess you don't have parents…"
"You're asking for death!"
One Taotie's eyes flared with killing intent as it fired several shots in succession.
All of them were swatted away by Lin Fei.
Enraged, it stomped on its flying board and charged straight at him, a railgun blade snapping out from its arm, slashing toward his face.
"Did I hit a nerve? That's a bit sensitive, don't you think?"
Lin Fei leaned back slightly, dodging the strike, then threw a punch.
The Taotie was sent flying over ten meters, rolling across the ground several times before finally stopping.
"I mean, seriously—missing even a sneak attack. With this many people watching, aren't you embarrassed?"
"You…!"
The Taotie struggled on the ground, glaring up at Lin Fei, trying to say something—
But Lin Fei cut it off mercilessly.
"If I were you, I'd be so ashamed I'd find a block of tofu and smash my head into it."
Watching Lin Fei casually mocking and dominating that high-tech alien warrior—
Su Xiaoli couldn't help but recall the scene where Lin Fei had helped her out and lectured Liu Chuang back then.
Her eyes curved into crescents, her sweet face unable to hide her smile.
"There are a few Taotie here," Lin Fei said lightly.
"I'll leave one for you when you arrive."
