Chapter 670: Dazzling Ice Lotus
When she saw the Driver’s rugged, roguish appearance her scowl deepened “Behave yourself”
He answered with a shrug “Hoell I behave depends on the co any respect why should I sow you any?”
“You!”
A flash of light blinded Ling Ya’s eyes All she saas the Driver shoot a hand out, and suddenly the twotheir path were blasted away They flew a full tendto a halt
For half aThen the sound of laser weapons revving up filled the hangar, and barrels were pointed their aiting for the colonel’s command
“Hold your fire!” Ling Ya screeched Part of her purpose here was to test the scouts’ grit but she didn’t want to start a real firefight That would surely cause irrevocable consequences
“Yeah, come to their rescue” The Driver had suddenly reappeared in front of Ling Ya He fixed her with his hard eyes, bolts of purple lightning dancing in their depths
She staggered back a step but quickly regained her coht surrounded her, and as she spoke her words were hard but the tone was cowardly “How dare you cause trouble aboard this Bastion! We’ll have you court martialed!”
His eyebrows shot up “Court martial? For your Northern army? Grand! Give me the invitation and I’d be happy to play around with your stuffed suits for a little while Now I’m tired of your poor reception Let us in, or don’t be surprised if I lose my temper And if you can’t do that then call someone who can”
Soldier te Ya especially, as a twenty-so officer who earned her place on Tyrannosaurus She lost her composure and in response the white aura around her flared Instantly the temperature dropped Her skin beca into the air she was surrounded by pulses of energy that were surprisingly strong
But she wasn’t looking at the Driver Her eyes were fixed on Lan Jue “Commander, I know you walked away as Champion of the Grand Adept tourna a member of the arm Noe have a chance to see if I could have beaten you If you can bestteam can proceed without verification”
“Just you?” Another voice answered her, and another figure stepped up to stand by Lan Jue’s side When their helmet was revealed, Su Xiaosu’s face was revealed
“Beat e the boss” She didn’tStar rose into the air A corona of golden light radiated out like the heavens were opening behind her She flicked her wrist and a whip of crackling gold light lashed out at Ling Ya
Her ansas to sniff dis appeared in her hand Ling Ya was born as genetic ano at the enital Talent and meant her cultivation was far superior to a normal Adept’s As a result she was a ninth level seventh rank Talent at such a young age, and what’s more was one of the few in Northern y
Ling Ya had volunteered for this assignhters as well as a respected staff officer Her rank was not indicative of her abilities nor her station here on Tyrannosaurus She was a rising star in the North, to be certain
When she’d heard that the scouting team was headed by commander Lan Jue – the same Lan Jue that had won the Great Adept Tournaainst hiot her hen the Admiral hinted for her to feel out their abilities Ultih and so
Ling Ya extended her spear and all the chill that had filled the air vanished, gathered into a single point In the instant her spear and the whip h Su Xiaosu’s weapon and toward her body
Re Star to the Pontiff Though she was s with Lan Jue, her persona was entirely different when confronting a foe She flicked her wrist and the bullwhip separated into countless copies of itself Meanwhile a sheath of blazing fire covered each leather crop It burned away Ling Ya’s icy poithout effort Ling Ya barely had tiain
Holy Fire!
Ling Ya retreated, brandishi+ng her spear It lashed out too quick to follow, blocking each strand of Su Xiaosu’s whip as they came Their clash was loud and constant like the beat of a war drum
The Driver stood beside Lan Jue, watching the exchange “It’s hard to say, but this little one’s tough! Ninth level seventh rank, maybe”
Lan Jue concurred “Seeht She was sent to test us I didn’t think it was the North’s style, but if that’s what they e’ll give them a show”
Ling Ya and Su Xiaosu were about even in Discipline, but when it came to combat experience the Moonfiend Empress had the upper hand She was a product of the Pontiff’s Citadel, and later carved out a realm of her own in the Shattered Starfields A veteran of at least one hundred battles, what ene, but Xiaosu’s Holy Light was no less potent
As their contest continued Xiaosu slowly began to get the upper hand The crack of her golden whip knocked away Ling Ya’s spear again and again No matter how the colonel struck, on which direction she attacked fro’s Star’s defenses seemed fruitless
Just then Ling Ya stopped With a grunt she thrust the head of her spear into the ground in front of her As the icy weapon buried itself in the ground her body becaar was filled with a vacuu toward that spear, like it was the center of a black hole Cold power coalesced around it, creating beautiful petals of glittering ice
