Sky-cracking Rider

Xiao Jiu relentlessly pecked at the guy who kept crying out in pain on the ground.

Of course, compared to the pain of a broken leg, having your face pecked into a blooming peach was hardly an issue.

Moreover, compared to the ferocity of Chen Fei's father, the little bird's attack power could be practically ignored. The red marks it left on the opponent's face would fade in two or three days at most.

The combat power of a low-rank Light-element Magical Beast was already weak, let alone a Pure Light Sparrow that barely made the rank. A "Band-Aid" could hardly count as combat power.

Even if it was lucky to obtain a Third Rank Light Beast Crystal Core, its abilities couldn't become very formidable all at once due to its bloodline and species limitations.

The scale armor on the surface of the skin was faintly visible, from the arms to the palms and then to the fingers, monstrously gruesome.

Chen Fei forcefully suppressed the murderous intent boiling within him and roared, "You are not welcome here, get out, all of you!"

Dare to touch my bird, I'll break your legs!

"You are courting death!"

Seeing a member of the investigative team injured, Franco, the person in charge, no longer hesitated and opened his five fingers to grab at Chen Fei, or more accurately, pushed something invisible towards him.

Chen Fei waved his hand, and a sound like fabric being ripped echoed.

A sudden gust of wind swept up countless sand and stones, and the unbound high-pressure gas exploded like a small-scale burst.

Franco staggered back several meters, lowering his head to check, then raising it with a look of shock.

Across his chest, from the left shoulder to the right waist, were three gashes—two long and one short—as if savagely scratched by a monster.

Not just fabric, even steel could be shredded apart.

This sight turned the investigative team leader's face deathly pale.

If it had been a centimeter or two deeper, it would have been enough to rip open his chest and abdomen.

"How audacious!"

Following an explosive shout, a glimmering longsword from the side came slashing down toward Chen Fei's neck.

A War Professional couldn't wait to launch an attack.

Crack!

The longsword was caught squarely an inch away from Chen Fei's neck.

Sparks flew between the Sharp Edge and the grotesque claws.

"You... are courting death!"

Chen Fei coldly glanced at him.

The cold ruthlessness of his golden pupils pierced straight into the heart of the War Professional.

With a forceful clench of the monstrous claw, a crisp cracking sound accompanied by trembling reverberations ensued, and the five-foot-wide longsword was forcibly snapped into two pieces, with the remaining half nearly slipping from the War Professional's grip.

System: Ding! Detected 6.57 kilograms of tungsten carbide-based hard alloy. Would you like to absorb: Yes/No?

Absorb!

System: Ding! Absorbed 6.57 kilograms of tungsten carbide-based hard alloy, composition: tungsten 75%, titanium 11%, cobalt 5%, molybdenum 3%…

The half of the short sword disappeared in the claws in an instant, and then another merciless claw struck down.

"Be careful!"

With a loud clang, Chen Fei's claw was blocked by a long-handled battle axe, saving the War Professional who had lost half of his broadsword from certain doom.

If the claw had caught him solidly, he would have been torn apart, far worse than being quartered by horses.

The heavy axe blade trembled slightly, the edge squeaking as sparks flew, deeply scratched by the claws, and the long axe handle slightly bent. The sight chilled the spine of the axe-wielding War Professional. He erupted with all his might, slightly revealing Light Flames ascending around his body, yet he gained little upper hand.

This Metal Ability User completely countered their cold weapons!

System: Ding! Detected 47.32 kilograms of manganese steel. Would you like to absorb: Yes/No?

Chen Fei smirked coldly.

Absorb!

System: Ding! Absorbed 47.32 kilograms of manganese steel, composition: iron 80%, manganese 15%, nickel 3%, carbon 1.5%...

The War Professional holding the long-handled battle axe immediately felt a tremendous pulling force transmitted to his hands and urgently pulled back.

However, it was still a step too late. Caught off guard, he couldn't hold on, and watched his weapon disappear into that grotesque claw.

The War Professional, stripped of his long-handled battle axe, involuntarily gasped. They said supernatural power users had bizarre abilities, but the opponent's ability to forcibly "confiscate" weapons was simply too bullying.

The other two War Professionals looked at Chen Fei's claws, then at the cross spear and War Knife in their own hands and couldn't help but swallow, hesitating in their steps, seemingly cowering!

Without their weapons, their combat power had dropped by at least thirty percent. Were they to rely solely on bare fists and Battle Qi?

But the opponent's claws were even more domineering than cold weapons!

Chen Fei coldly swept them with his gaze and strode towards the guy still crying on the ground.

Behind him, the air continuously exploded with booming sounds.

Executive Manager Hanna Gagel had already engaged with the temporary investigative team leader Franco, with the two C-rank Wind-type Psionic Users struggling to gain the upper hand for the moment.

The other C-rank supernatural power user in the investigative team didn't rashly intervene, instead he watched anxiously as the two people confronted each other, with neither the east wind overwhelming the west, nor the west wind the east, resulting in a deadlock.

If he were to interfere, it likely would have turned into a fight to the death, as Hanna Gagel would definitely kill one without hesitation, and only a fool would believe that the other party would show restraint and mercy.

Since this is the line of work they were in, there were no such things as kind men or pious women, life and death were taken lightly, disputes were settled by fighting.

Without concrete evidence, the temporary investigative team sent by the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee engaging in a fight with the party under investigation would become a joke, successful in nothing and detrimental in everything if they failed to capture proof.

Luckily, Hanna Gagel and Franco happened to control their special abilities within a radius of about three meters, which is the effective control radius for C-class supernatural power users, preventing the fight from escalating further.

If they moved, the destructive power would certainly increase.

At that time, the 911 Aircrew Base would suffer damage, but don't forget there was also a sky patrol ship and two crystal jets nearby. Destroying the entire 911 would not be enough to cover the losses from these three.

"Jiu!~~"

Seeing his father coming, Xiao Jiu immediately left the unfortunate man on the ground, fluttered its wings, flew over, saw his father's golden eyes, hesitated for a moment, but then confidently landed on his shoulder, affectionately pecking at his earlobe.

"Xiao Jiu, good, what did this guy do?"

Chen Fei wanted to pet his own little bird, but the claws on his hands hadn't disappeared yet.

The "Eyes of Tyranny" were still a few seconds away.

"Jiu!"

The little bird cocked its head, flew towards the man's clothes, pecked at a bulging pocket, and one or two specks of light came out from beneath the fabric.

The man with the broken leg was only concerned about his leg, not paying any attention to the little bird landing on him.

Although the little bird couldn't speak, Chen Fei was not foolish, quickly understanding what this meant.

System: "Eyes of Tyranny" begin cooldown 1/15 seconds.

He conveniently picked up a crowbar stuck in the ground with one hand, grabbed the other person's neck with the other, and lifted him up directly.

He targeted the man's head with the crowbar, preparing to open a "can" right there to see what was inside this guy's head, perhaps all shit?

"Stop!"

The C-rank Earth Element Ability User, Willy, seeing this, no longer paid attention to the female executive manager and the temporary investigative team leader.

As he spoke, his ability activated simultaneously, the cement on the ground detached and covered his body, forming a gray-white armor, ensuring defense before anything else.

After all, the impression left by the opponent's large claws was profound; if it caught on his flesh, his mortal body would likely be no stronger than paper mache, not to mention that silver-white "cold weapon."

In certain circumstances, a crowbar could indeed be considered a weapon.

The sound of rolling, a crystal clear crystal rolled out of the broken-legged man's pocket and fell to the ground.

Its inherent dim glow was overshadowed by the sunlight; the lustrous crystal surface reflected dazzling light.

"Ah!~"

Willy's voice immediately faltered.

That was a Magical Beast Crystal Core, judging by the size and degree of crystallization, it was definitely not a commonplace item.

Not only him, but also the other four War Professionals who were wary of Chen Fei's large claws and dared not make any rash moves were equally stunned.

Such a large Magical Beast Crystal Core, that should be of Earth Order level, right?

The magical resources from Cangqiong Star, divided into Human Order Ninth Rank, Earth Order Sixth Rank, and Heavenly Order Third Rank, with Human Order resources primarily circulating in the market. The higher the rank, the fewer the quantities. Once it reached Earth Order, it could no longer be accessed by ordinary people.

Heavenly Order resources, whether they be magic potions, Magical Beast Crystal Cores, or magic artifacts, appear once in several years. Each appearance causes a sensation on Blue Star and leads to fierce competition among the major powers.

There was no way around it, as they were scarce resources on Cangqiong Star, let alone on Blue Star, a world apart. Having the goods was already fortunate, their being priceless was the norm.

Chen Fei also found the answer to why Xiao Jiu was relentlessly pursuing it.

He threw the man on the ground, spat contemptuously.

"Thief!"

The Pure Light Sparrow immediately pounced on the Magical Beast Crystal Core, pecking incessantly, each peck releasing many specks of light, which, before they could disperse, drifted towards its body and momentarily caused a faint brightness on the black feathers, then disappeared.

Given the peculiar occurrence with the Light-element Magical Beast, Pure Light Sparrow, this Magical Beast Crystal Core was likely a Light Element Crystal Core too.

Caught red-handed at the scene, the man on the ground's face flushed red, but he dared not make a sound.

Deny?

Would denying help?

For an E-rank supernatural power user, even selling all his assets he might not gather such a large Crystal Core, money can't buy it, and even if it's available, he wouldn't be the one to get it, especially one of a completely different elemental attribute, or carrying such a valuable Magical Beast Crystal Core while outdoors.... Every explanation was unconvincing.

The Earth Element Ability User, Willy, turned around and shouted loudly, "Stop, everyone stop, all of you stop!"

Damn, such a huge embarrassment!

Fucking hell, a member of the investigative team being greedy, stealing someone's belongings!!

And being caught in the act.

How could there be such a disgraceful jerk mixed in with the investigative team.

Willy wished he could slap the man with the broken leg to death.
