General Zhao's expression changed sharply. He snatched up the radio. "This is Zhao Weiguo! Report the details! Assess the target's level!"
"We can't stop it... we can't stop it at all! It smashed a heavy armored vehicle with one swipe of its tail! It... it's heading toward Magic City! Requesting... aah-!"
The scream cut off abruptly. Only a hopeless busy signal remained on the radio.
General Zhao went deathly pale and looked up at Chen Lin.
"A horned snake that can fly?" Chen Lin's gaze shifted slightly.
Yun Sheng frowned beside him. "It's showing signs of becoming a flood dragon. If it can fly at low altitude, it's at least a Foundation Establishment demon beast, possibly even... Core Formation."
Once a demon beast of that caliber charged into a megacity with tens of millions of people, it would be a one-sided massacre.
Song Qiuya, Qin Chuxia, and the others paled as well. Magic City was Qin Chuxia's home.
"Chen Lin..." Qin Chuxia bit her lower lip, anxiety filling her eyes.
Chen Lin rose. His gentle, tranquil aura instantly receded, replaced by an edge that sent chills through everyone present.
"Good timing. You've all been stuck at late Foundation Establishment for a while now." Chen Lin turned toward Song Qiuya, Qin Chuxia, and the others. "Theory only gets you so far. Today, I'll take you out to shed some blood."
He raised his hand and swept two fingers through the air like a sword, slicing through the void.
The enormous Heavenly Shuttle materialized out of thin air and hovered above the Song-Style Courtyard House.
"Yun Sheng, stay here and guard the place." Chen Lin stepped onto the flying boat.
"Let's go. To Magic City."
The Heavenly Shuttle tore through the clouds and hovered over Magic City's Jiading District.
