Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 695: Section 690 - Stealing Home
"Ha... what the hell is this?"
Turning his head back, Chen Fei had transformed into a Dragon Knight, having just taken down an enemy "Sky Falcon". Minante couldn't quite believe his own eyes, and in that brief moment of distraction, he was nearly blown to pieces by a particle beam that grazed by, along with his assembled combat aircraft.
After all, this was a battlefield, and the enemy was no greenhorn fresh to combat, ready to deliver a killing blow at the first opportunity.
"F*cking hell, see if I give you face!"
Having just skirted death at the hands of Ghost Gate Pass, Minante was immediately incensed. A mere trifle of an opponent had sought his life; at the very least, it should have been a "Rookie"-level adversary.
He immediately redirected his attention back to the battle that was still underway.
The "Sky Falcon" seemed to turn into a frenzied spirit, tracing uncertain and erratic flight paths, locking onto the opponent that was attempting another attack.
The two assembled combat aircraft chased and dodged each other in the sky, their flight paths intertwined, with magnetic rail-gun shots mixed with blue and white particle beams, fighting a desperate battle to the death.
"Chen Fei, these guys all ran away!"

The "Undying Pigeon" Legion's experts didn't hesitate to scatter like birds and beasts, which greatly displeased Yilan. It had flown here with great effort, intending to wage a battle for three hundred rounds, but was this all it got to see?
As it flew past the area covered by the "Thorn Storm", the shiny Trilateral Spiral Blade Spikes flew back on their own, like birds returning to the forest, neatly tucking into Yilan's wings. From the outside, the number of the Blade Wing's feather blades seemed unchanged.
Without this ability, the Metallic Dragons would have exhausted themselves launching such fatal blows repeatedly without killing the enemy, instead wearing themselves out first.
"The monk might run, but the temple will stay put, head to the front left, I want to return the favor."
Chen Fei was of course aware of how difficult it was to kill those of the Earth Order and Heavenly Order. Despite having killed a Heavenly Sovereign before, he'd caught the target off guard with a 600mm Demolition Bomb.
Once prepared, it wouldn't be so easy to succeed again.
The 600mm Demolition Bombs launched repeatedly were unable to hit their target, and you could even see the clearly defined space which had absorbed and isolated the intense explosions.
That was the Rule Domain of the Heavenly Sovereign, manipulating laws in a small area to render ordinary attacks ineffective. The situation was somewhat like the enemies fruitlessly chasing after Chen Xiao'er earlier, being unable to catch or kill them, leading to extreme embarrassment on both sides.
If the pursuers had been only one or two people, stretching their domains, it would have been almost more difficult for Chen Fei to escape the "Undying Pigeon" Legion's camp than to ascend to heaven, and he couldn't have counted on support from Minante and Yilan.
But it did not matter. If you couldn't beat the enemy tactically, then just find a way strategically.
As Chen Fei said, the monk could run away, but the temple would stay put. He roared at the "Undying Pigeon" Legion, announcing his return, determined to show them that casting out spirits is easier than sending them away!
He launched over twenty 600mm Demolition Bombs towards the "Undying Pigeon" Legion's camp in quick succession, and after depleting his stock, he continued with 152mm ones. The distance wasn't too far—within Chen Fei's righteous radius. He also took advantage of the situation to deploy several drones to establish an aerial reconnaissance system.
The "Undying Pigeon" Legion's camp suddenly faced an apocalyptic disaster as earth-shattering explosions erupted one after another, causing countless casualties and tremendous damage to materiel and equipment.
Be it 600mm or 152mm—even though the caliber of the former was four times that of the latter—it didn't change the fact that both were treated as demolishing entire soccer-field-sized areas. Especially against personnel, the defense of the Heavenly Order might allow them to survive, Earth Order fighters might barely protect themselves, but Human Order ability users weren't so lucky. Even spellcasters who chanted spell incantations with all their might would inevitably have their spells collapse, instantly turning to ash.
But the worst was yet to come.
The fully empowered female Metallic Dragon didn't chase after the scattered pursuers, but instead flew directly above the "Undying Pigeon" Legion's camp.
Two ton-class Thermobaric Bombs were dropped, and with two thuds, the shock waves burst forth like a landslide and tsunami. The flames and smoke engulfed everything, and even Yilan in the air felt like a small boat in a tempest, its flight shaky and unstable. Chen Fei on the dragon's back felt like he'd been hit by a sledgehammer, shaking so hard that his hearing began to fade, stars flashed before his eyes, and he felt dizzy, nauseated, and on the verge of vomiting.
If the sky was like this, the ground had been left with even fewer survivors.
"Good guy!"
After finally taking vengeful action against their thieving opponent, Minante finally had the chance to notice the commotion in the distance, staring dumbfounded at the smoke that almost completely enveloped the entire "Undying Pigeon" Legion's camp.
"Rookie" couldn't possibly have thrown down a Dragon Slayer Missile, could he?
He hurriedly called out to Chen Fei over the clear-code public communication channel.
"Hey, 'Rookie,' what did you do? Such a ruckus!"
"Nothing much, just dropped a couple of Thermobaric Bombs, and a bunch of 600 caliber and 152 caliber Explosives."
Chen Fei responded nonchalantly, considering all this just a minor scene; the enemy hadn't witnessed him blasting Light Wing Ships and leveling towns with Dragon Slayer Missiles without a care for cost.
"You, you you you... how much of a grudge and grievance do you hold against Valenya?"
Minante's eyeballs nearly popped out. Saying it lightly as dropping two Thermobaric Bombs, but looking at the extent of the coverage and the magnitude of the explosion, it must be at least 1000 kilograms in strength, right? And on top of that so many 600 and 152 caliber bombs—that doesn't leave anyone a way out. Even beings of the Heavenly Order would likely struggle to survive, right?
"No grudges, no grievances, just routine operations."
In Chen Fei's space system alchemical storage artifact, the smallest caliber for a shell was 30mm, and those were used as rapid-fire ammunition. Beyond that, they all started at 152mm, with the rest being either anti-vehicular landmines or ten-ton explosives.
```
Hmm, I've never seen the spectacle of ten tons of explosives being dropped all at once. I should find an opportunity to try it out.
```
```
"Have you gone mad?"
```
```
The mere thought of these munitions possibly being dumped on his uncle's "Radiant Tiger" Legion's territory made Minante's scalp tingle with numbness.
```
```
When Chen Fei had faced off against him, he had never unleashed such crazed firepower. Perhaps he had shown some respect.
```
```
Such fierce firepower, just watching could scare a person to death.
```
```
"You'll get used to it, you'll get used to it. You could do it too."
```
```
Chen Fei stood on the back of the female Metallic Giant Dragon Yilan, overlooking the chaotic mess on the ground below.
```
```
Despite his current posturing, he was struggling with the problem of how to dismount the dragon. He really wanted to just jump down, but Yilan's back scales were gripping his feet tightly, making it hard to even lift a leg, let alone jump off.
```
```
The strength of a human was no match for a Giant Dragon, especially one of the Metallic Dragons known for their might.
```
```
"Thief, our enmity is irreconcilable!"
```
```
Standing outside the blazing encampment, Valenya, the Legion Commander of the "Undying Pigeon" Legion, pointed his sword at the Metallic Giant Dragon and the Chen Fei on its back.
```
```
He had finally witnessed the terror of a Dragon Knight. With such combat power, no wonder they could contend with the Extraterrestrial Races within the stratosphere for a hundred thousand years. His "Undying Pigeon" Legion had been wiped out in less than five minutes, and it was uncertain how many would survive, probably not many.
```
```
So Valenyna felt his heart bleed with pain, anger rising from his chest, and malevolence from his gall. He took out his walkie-talkie.
```
```
"Release 'Steel Rock'; target that business hotel. I want equivalent retaliation, I want no creature left alive."
```
```
You attack my base, I'll attack yours. To hell with collateral damage, to hell with massacring civilians, damn it all!
```
```
The furious Valenya had completely lost his reason, breaking the baseline against targeting civilians that the Rebel Army had not crossed so far.
```
```
After all, the Zilu Continent was the stronghold for the Rebel Army's attempt to restore the Tessa Empire. Turning their weapons against their own people could lead to resistance or even loss of support from their backers—a fatal outcome for their cause.
```
```
"The current state of 'Steel Rock' is not stable..."
```
```
The person on the other end of the walkie-talkie intended to say more, but was once again interrupted by the exacerbated Valenya.
```
```
"Steel Rock" was the name of the adult Metallic Giant Dragon. The Dragon Hunter families were also quite clear on the naming traditions of the Metallic Dragonkind, which often included metal, making it easier to distinguish among the dragons.
```
```
"I don't care, do it now, right now, immediately."
```
```
If Chen Fei and that Metallic Giant Dragon were allowed to return to the business hotel, his own adult Metallic Giant Dragon "Steel Rock" would have no chance of winning. There was only one opportunity, not to be missed, as it would not come again.
```
```
Damn Dragon Hunters, if you won't listen, then I'll flatten your entire clan.
```
```
Valenya clearly held a dominant position in his collaboration with the Dragon Hunter families.
```
```
Adam: "Undying Pigeon" Legion Commander Valenya spotted.
```
```
A flash appeared before Chen Fei's eyes, and his visual interface marked the position of the Legion Commander of the "Undying Pigeon" Legion—a big fish indeed.
```
```
Several drones that made up the reconnaissance system had identified many ground personnel.
```
```
"Yilan, 4 o'clock direction, 4500 meters away, on the ground."
```
```
"Received! Leave this one to me."
```
```
Yilan seemed eager to join the fray; Chen Fei's onslaught had been so intense that it had hardly gotten a chance to engage.
```
```
"Okay! It's all yours!"
```
```
The combat power of the Metallic Giant Dragon was on par with the Heavenly Order. Plus, with Chen Fei—or accurately, the ammunition reserves from his Space System Alchemy Storage Device—he was determined to take down a Heavenly Sovereign; it wasn't impossible.
```
```
"Wait! Chen Fei, you can't kill Valenya!
```
```
The public communication channel was still open, so Minante naturally heard the conversation between Chen Fei and Yilan and hurriedly spoke up to prevent them.
```
```
"Why not? He's my enemy!"
```
```
Chen Fei was puzzled. This commander of the "Undying Pigeon" had just attacked the "Radiant Tiger" Legion. The latter should be pleased to see Valenya taken down rather than pleading for his life—it seemed like a ludicrous idea.
```
```
Could it be that the commander of the "Radiant Tiger" Legion had a penchant for self-punishment?
```
```
If it were Chen Fei, he would be relentless against anyone who dared to provoke him.
```
