217. Believing a Helicopter Could Take You to Space? Hahaha!
If one day I could pilot a supersonic plane and fly through the air, I would truly die without regrets.
This was Little Li's wish.
Today, it seems that God is in a good mood and is ready to grant him two wishes at once—the first wish was to fly in the co-pilot's seat of a supersonic aircraft; the second wish is to die without regrets, since he is about to kick the bucket!
Little Li's eyes welled up with tears.
In his view, the moment the helicopter's propeller broke off, the windshield, unable to withstand the sonic boom pressure at supersonic speeds, began to shatter. Some of the deck panels on the fuselage also began to detach joyfully and fly off.
These are just the things Little Li can see from his angle. Behind the plane, which he can't turn his head to see, a disaster movie of a 'helicopter crash' has already unfolded. The entire tail section is broken apart, Mars are flying everywhere, and smoke is billowing out.
Now, only a semi-circular fuselage remains of the helicopter... and a lot of deck material has fallen off the fuselage.
Due to extensive damage to the fuselage, the aircraft has lost power and is exiting supersonic mode.
Previously, the plane was moving too fast; in the blink of an eye, the wrecked parts had all disappeared.
Instructor Little Li closed his eyes in anguish. Although he had signed a large insurance policy before boarding the plane, which would provide his family with a huge sum of money in case of an accident.
Even before boarding the plane, he was mentally prepared to face the possibility of sacrifice.
But when death truly struck, Instructor Little Li felt only terror!
He discovered that he was not as strong as he had imagined. His preparation to 'face death' was based on the premise that 'there was still a chance to live'.
When he truly faced a situation where there was no chance of survival, his strong heart and courage vanished.
Instructor Little Li burst into tears, crying, "Mom, I don't want to die! Waaah... I'm still young, I don't want to die so soon!"
A man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he's truly heartbroken.
Now that I'm going to die in the plane crash anyway, I'm not afraid of losing face anymore, so let me cry my heart out.
Therefore, Instructor Little Li cried very sadly.
"Tsk... the plane is even more fragile than I imagined," Senior White muttered discontentedly. Then, without him making any move, several invisible sword energies shot out from his body.
The sword energy melted the cracked glass—yes, melted, not shattered! Not even a shard of glass remained!
Then, the sword energy spread in all directions.
Where Song Shuhang and Instructor Little Li couldn't see, the descending propellers, tail section, aircraft armor, and other components were all struck by the invisible sword energy and shattered in mid-air.
This avoids the possibility of these aircraft parts falling from the sky and causing damage to people or objects on the ground below.
At the same time, a shield was activated from Senior White, protecting the remaining helicopter and acting as its outer shell and glass.
At the same time, Song Shuhang promptly removed his spacesuit helmet and placed it over the head of the poor Instructor Little Li, and turned on the oxygen supply equipment to prevent Instructor Little Li from dying from lack of oxygen.
Instructor Little Li barely managed to lift his head, glancing gratefully at Song Shuhang —but then sighed inwardly. What good would it do to put that astronaut helmet on him? The plane was already shattered and about to fall from the sky.
"Grandma, see you in heaven!" Instructor Little Li called out one last time, then his head lolled to the side... and he passed out.
Song Shuhang was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by Instructor Little Li.
"Well, it's probably for the best that I passed out. Let's just treat it as a nightmare when I wake up," Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Then, looking at the wrecked plane beneath his feet, he felt a sense of relief—the plane was so badly damaged that it couldn't possibly continue flying. So, Senior White's plan to take off had to be abandoned, right?
Song Shuhang spoke up, urging, "Senior, the propeller is gone, the plane has no power. Shall we evacuate?"
"..." Senior White was speechless, his face showing obvious resentment.
Song Shuhang used his silver tongue to the fullest, continuing to persuade, "This time it was the plane's poor quality. Even if we couldn't catch up with that flying sword cultivator, it wasn't our fault. If we switched to a better plane, we could overtake him in no time!"
"Hmm, the quality of this plane is really terrible. We should have brought jet fighters instead," Senior White sighed.
"It's okay, we can learn about jet fighters next time. Let's just skip this one and abandon our aircraft," Song Shuhang said, clenching his fist inwardly. Success was in sight!
"Hmm... But we shouldn't give up until the very last moment!" Senior White suddenly changed his tone, becoming very passionate.
Song Shuhang hurriedly advised, "No, senior. Sometimes giving up also takes courage!"
"It's alright, we haven't reached the point where we absolutely have to give up." Senior White got up from the pilot's seat, squatted down, and drew a series of formations on the plane's deck.
The Venerable White was very skilled at drawing this array; it must be an array he drew frequently.
Song Shuhang also felt that the face looked familiar.
As the formation was gradually perfected, Song Shuhang recognized it—wasn't this the formation runes on Senior White's masterpiece, the 'Single-Use Flying Sword 004 Edition'? Some time ago, Senior White casually picked a tree branch, carved some runes on it, and infused it with spiritual power, which could transform the ordinary tree branch into a flying sword.
Could it be that Senior White is planning to turn this helicopter wreckage into Single-Use Flying Sword 004 Edition?
Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?
Is this even possible?
It's already incredible that a wooden sword can be transformed into Single-Use Flying Sword 004 Edition), but if this giant airplane hull can also be transformed into Disposable Flying Sword... Holy crap, it actually did!
They change their minds so easily; that's how capricious they are.
Senior White inscribed the last rune, clapped his hands in satisfaction, and poured spiritual power into the formation, completing the creation of the 'Single-Use Flying Sword 004' version.
The entire wreckage of the aircraft emitted a soft humming sound, like the ringing of a sword.
"Just as I expected, it's easy." Senior White clapped his hands in satisfaction. "Shuhang, sit tight. We're off again!"
Song Shuhang quickly grabbed the seat.
The Venerable White made Sword Formula and softly shouted, "Go You!"
Whoosh!
The helicopter shot off at high speed.
Even without the propeller and lacking various essential helicopter parts, this 'supersonic helicopter', modified by Senior White, takes to the skies once again.
And the speed is unbelievably fast.
"Hahaha, fantastic!" Venerable White exclaimed triumphantly, then channeled spiritual energy into the 'Improved Azure Wind Acceleration Formation' beside him once more. "Ten times speed!"
The airplane-style Disposable Flying Sword began to climb again... and soon, it broke the sound barrier once more.
Song Shuhang sighed inwardly. Never mind, let Senior White have some fun!
************************
Gale Sword Yang Yuxiang, was gradually slowing down his Sword Flight. Although he had just overtaken the helicopter, the helicopter was too slow, so he felt no sense of victory.
This is so disappointing! Even helicopters should at least be traveling at 150 kilometers per hour!
However, the people inside the helicopter were quite interesting, especially the one in the back seat, who was completely encased in a thick spacesuit; it was hilarious.
Does he think he can go to outer space by taking a helicopter? Hahaha, that's hilarious.
"Hmm, never mind, let's find an air force base later. The feeling of racing against a supersonic fighter last time was truly amazing!" Gale Sword Yang Yuxiang, stretched and prepared to accelerate again to find the target of the Flying Sword.
Suddenly... Yang Yuxiang sensed something moving behind him.
He turned his head sharply, and then he saw a scene he would never forget.
An aircraft... uh, I think it's a helicopter? is rapidly approaching him!
Putting speed aside for now, the main thing is the design of this helicopter!
The plane's propeller, tail section, and support structures were all gone, leaving only a bare fuselage, and even the glass on the fuselage was missing! Smoke was still rising from the tail section.
This thing can actually fly in the air? And it flies incredibly fast, almost reaching Mach 2!
Gale Sword Yang Yuxiang, wanted to roar and ask the helicopter, "What kind of physics and dynamics do you rely on to fly so gracefully through the air?"
No sooner said than done! As the helicopter drew closer, Gale Sword Yang Yuxiang, finally saw the people inside.
A handsome man was posing as if he were piloting an airplane—but to no avail, all the instruments on the plane were off, and it wasn't moving at all.
In the passenger seat was a man who had fainted for some unknown reason.
At the very end, however, was a memorable figure—the man in the spacesuit.
The handsome man and Gale Sword Yang Yuxiang, locked eyes. Then, the handsome man chuckled, crossed his hands, and formed a cultivator's hand seal.
Yang Yuxiang is very familiar with this hand gesture because he often uses it with others.
Explanation: This hand seal is formed by two cultivators when they're racing... no, when they're racing with flying swords. It doesn't have any special purpose; it's just to tell the other person—you weakling, come and race me!
A handprint that exudes provocation.
The man in the astronaut suit behind him shrugged at Gale Sword Yang Yuxiang, and smiled sheepishly.
"Heh heh heh! Want to race me? Perfect for me!" Yang Yuxiang sneered, "I am the three-time champion of the Sword-Flight Competition — Gale Sword Yang Yuxiang!"
Yang Yuxiang assumed a starting stance on his flying sword, then waited for the strange helicopter to approach.
When the helicopter flew up beside him and was in the same row as him, Yang Yuxiang let out a long roar and activated his flying sword with all his might!
Let me show you the strength of the three-time champion of the Sword-Flight Competition. Then you'll understand how big the speed difference is between you and me!
