Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 694: Section 689 - Counterattack

"Roar!~"

The sudden roar shocked the pursuers of the "Undying Pigeon" legion, turning their faces ashen with fear.

It was truly one problem after another. They had just driven off the small Assembled Combat Aircraft of the "Radiant Tiger" legion, and now, a Metallic Giant Dragon hurtled down from the sky. For the "Undying Pigeon" legion, it seemed as though even drinking cold water would get stuck in their teeth—misfortune had truly come knocking at their door.

The massive and formidable body of the dragon released the "Void Magnetic Field" before landing, turning what would have been a landing into a crash. The force, combined with acceleration, created a crater nearly 30 meters in diameter on the ground—a 600-ton force would make more or less the same impact.

The Metallic Dragon, covered in sharp edges, fully extended its wings within the three-meter-deep crater, emitting a deafening roar.

Indeed, due to its exceptional toughness and resilience, not many dragonkind dare to land so recklessly and with such force.

"Got you, Chen Fei!"

Yilan used her own Tail Spear to present a Bracelet-Type Spatial Alchemical Storage Magical Artifact to Chen Fei, who was standing at the edge of the crater.

Yilan Express, mission guaranteed.

This express delivery girl was quite the sight, with her sharp scales glistening under the sunlight.

"Thanks, Yilan!"

Chen Fei reached out to take it but didn't expect that her Tail Spear would suddenly probe and coil around him without warning, securely ensnaring his body. Then, retracting quickly, she placed him on the dragon's back.

"The Dragon Rider game is about to start. Are you ready?"

Yilan spoke as if it were already a settled matter.

Cangqiong Star had long since ceased the cultivation of Dragon Knight apprentices, and Sky Dragon City had destroyed all Dragon Flutes, thereby completely ending the ten-thousand-year-old covenant.

Times had changed, and now the entire planet was under the rule of the Slan Dynasty, which had its own towering figures responsible for shouldering the heavens. The ancient covenant no longer held any meaning for continued existence and naturally faded out of history.

"Hey, hey, Yilan, don't..."

Chen Fei, now locked on the dragon's back, turned pale with fright. His situation was worse than if he had been captured by the "Undying Pigeon" legion. If Sky Dragon City found out that he and a dragon were publicly playing the Dragon Rider game, that would be a brazen provocation toward the Dragon Clan.

Yilan was still underage and could be let off lightly for not knowing any better, but Chen Fei was already of age. If minors didn't know any better, did that mean adults didn't either?

Of course, this had nothing to do with age. Longer-lived species matured mentally somewhat later, and the Dragon Clan had many over a hundred-year-old infants.

Rather than letting Yilan play Dragon Rider games so recklessly, Chen Xiao'er would rather be caught by the "Undying Pigeon" legion—at least they would leave a whole corpse.

"Haha, I've wanted to do this for a long time, Chen Fei. What do you think?"

Yilan, flapping her fully extended Blade Wings, flew out of the crater.

The people from the "Undying Pigeon" legion stood dumbfounded, watching this newly formed Dragon Rider pair. Some even rubbed their eyes, thinking they were subject to a Psychic series of Illusion Technique.

"I think it's very bad."

Chen Fei felt completely numb, with a sense of doom closing in.

Privately, playing Dragon Rider games might be dismissed as child's play, but to publicly announce it on the battlefield... Emmm, this death flag, perfect!

Sky Dragon City would definitely not turn a blind eye; in their eyes, Chen Fei was nothing but an ant that could be squished casually.

"Don't tell me what you think; it's about what I think, and I think it feels very good. Chen Fei, take the Dragon Spear, and let's fight together!"

Without asking, Yilan evolved a long lance and unilaterally thrust it into Chen Fei's hands, the design uncannily resembling a replica of Longinus. Probably only the Dragon Clan knew the exact appearance of the dimensional coordinates, the average human citizen certainly wasn't clear about the true operational principles of the Dimensional Gate.

"I'm going to die, going to die!"

Chen Fei, clutching the Dragon Spear forcibly given to him, continued to murmur subconsciously.

The material of the spear, transformed from the Metallic Giant Dragon itself, was even better than what he could replicate with his Psi Skill. If it wasn't reclaimed in the end, it would do more than suffice as a divine weapon and family heirloom.

"We're starting now!"

Yilan's attention shifted from Chen Fei back to the "ants" on the ground.

Even though she was more rational than other Metallic Dragons and easier to communicate with, when it came to creatures she felt no connection to, she viewed them just like all other Metallic Dragons did—ants, mere ants, all easily crushed with a single swipe.

"Run! Split up and run!"

The "Undying Pigeon" Legion Commander Valenya turned and ran without any hesitation, as the situation had already reversed.

Valenya, who controlled an adult Metallic Dragon, was very clear about just how terrifying the Dragon of Slaughter could be—it wasn't a dragon at all, but a combat weapon bred for slaughter.

He had never imagined that the relationship between this Chen fellow and the Metallic Dragon could reach such a level—perhaps there was some sort of secret technique involved.

The adult Metallic Dragon controlled by the "Undying Pigeon" Legion was a Dragon Hunter family's secret breed, trained in the shadows for a thousand years, starting from a dragon egg artificially incubated, with generations upon generations taking turns to raise it. Some even lost their lives in the process, and despite such a great sacrifice, they still couldn't completely control this capricious, temperamental Metallic Dragon.

The sight of the dragon rider combination appearing in such a perfect relationship filled Valenya with envy and jealousy. He gnashed his teeth with hatred—why was it that someone holding such power wasn't him, but this extremely lucky and unknown small fry?

Great, a Dragon Slayer, huh?!

Well, indeed, the Dragon Slayer was impressive!!!

One hand slays dragons, the other hand rides dragons—Chen Xiao'er's move was definitely 666. It was also lucky that Yilan was a Metallic Giant Dragon with indifferent relations to its kin; if it had been other kinds of dragonkind, forget about riding—it would likely be a meet-and-kill situation, with a chomp, a swallow, and then twenty years later, another fine warrior.

The pursuers, who had been chasing relentlessly just moments before, immediately turned tail without any hesitation, admitting they couldn't play this game.

If it had been Chen Fei alone, or Yilan alone, the "Undying Pigeon" Legion's experts would still be confident in their ability to fight, even capturing their opponents alive. But the strength of a Dragon Knight wasn't just legend; for over a hundred thousand years, on the Cangqiong Star's atmosphere, it was one of the main forces combating the extraterrestrial race "Sagali." The combination of a Human Knight and their mount, the Giant Dragon, was a prime example of one plus one being greater than two. If a series of Dragon Rider war techniques were unleashed, these Human Knights, who had never set foot on the battlefield beyond the heavens, might very well get wiped out on the spot.

And things would be even worse for those of Earth Order—the Dragon Knight would cut them down as easily as chopping vegetables.

The feet of the "Undying Pigeon" Legion's pursuers became windy, even faster than when they had arrived, as they now ran for their lives—they had to dig deep for every once of strength, for a single misstep would serve them up as dragon fodder.

Chen Fei directly used the Dragon Spear in his hand, adding a few energy points, transforming it into a huge cannon.

A 600mm caliber Demolition Bomb, farewell and good riddance!

Bang!~

A mushroom cloud rose a kilometer away, the intense shockwave spreading as far as five kilometers before it finally dissipated, the aftermath sweeping through like a fierce gale.

A few of the "Undying Pigeon" Legion's pursuers failed to cover the distance of a football field, falling within the effective radius of the 600mm caliber Demolition Bomb. Even if by some good fortune they weren't struck by shrapnel, the violent shockwave was enough to give them a severe shake, leaving them either dead or severely wounded.

"Wow! That was effective!"

Despite Chen Fei's combat style being somewhat different from what she had imagined, the female Metallic Dragon Yilan still gave a vigorous nod of approval. With a fierce flap of her wings, she unleashed hundreds of sharp Blade Thorns at a velocity not much slower than railgun weapons, blanketing the escape route of the "Undying Pigeon" Legion's experts. This was the group battle killing technique of the Metallic Giant Dragon clan, "Thorn Storm."

If one was pierced by any of these sharp Triangular Spiral Blade Spikes, unless they died on the spot, there was no point in trying to save them. It would be more prudent to give their last words, otherwise, it would be too late.

In the midst of dust and commotion, a muffled groan was heard—statistics yielded a bountiful harvest.

The Blade Wing of the female Giant Dragon shrank by a third, but in the next second, new Blade Thorns grew out, and her wings regained their fullness.

In today's world, the Metallic Dragons are far from lacking sustenance, ensuring the young with sufficient nutrition have frighteningly high self-healing capabilities.

"Yilan, hold steady, I'm firing a few more shots!"

The artificial intelligence AI "Adam" used the function modules of the Tactical Armor to help Chen Fei capture the target's location and predict the direction of their escape.

Two more 600mm caliber Demolition Bombs howled along the acceleration track of the Railgun, smashing into the ground with earth-shattering force.

Riding dragons and firing cannons—a man couldn't ask for a better feeling.

With the space system alchemy storage artifact fully stocked with combat materials, his combat ability was enhanced to an inconceivable level.

"Yilan, don't let a single one get away."

No sooner had Chen Fei spoken than a thunderous roar like an explosion came from afar, and a Triangular Spiral Blade Spike shot across the distance, arriving near him in the blink of an eye.

The female Metallic Dragon Yilan calmly twisted her body. The Blade Spike didn't hit Chen Fei, but instead penetrated her dragon body to the depth of over a foot.

Before Chen Fei could ask anything, he saw the Blade Spike rapidly soften and disappear on the surface of the dragon's body, leaving the Dragon Scales unscathed as if the Blade Spike had never existed.

"Using weapons evolved from the body of a Metallic Dragon against a Metallic Dragon itself is the epitome of stupidity," Yilan said, not hiding her scorn.

That strike had had the right posture, power, and lethal speed, even containing Battle Qi. It should have possessed terrifying killing power, but it seemed to forget that the Blade Thorn was a part of Yilan's body.

If it was a part of the body, how could it possibly harm the body itself? It was simply a matter of a drop of water returning to the sea, no longer separate. Any excess Battle Qi didn't even qualify to shake the dragon's body.
