Chapter 47: Fortunately, My Skills Are Superior
The whirlwind wings created by the spinning vortex granted the Howling Wind Emissary explosive speed!
He charged straight at Gu Hang!
As long as he killed Gu Hang, his mission would still be considered complete.
Those elite-looking soldiers seemed to have noticed his intent.
Half of them continued to suppress the still-living priest, while the other half tried to intercept him.
Bullets flew at him, but the wind shield continued to perform its duty faithfully, not easily breached.
Two soldiers, positioned closer, blocked his path, drawing their short knives to engage him in combat.
The speed and agility of those soldiers surprised the Howling Wind Emissary.
He was moving at super-high speed, propelled by the turbine wings, a speed beyond the reaction capabilities of ordinary people, let alone intercepting him.
But those soldiers managed to do it.
Moreover, their resolve was beyond imagination.
Approaching him meant enduring the power of the storm. High-pressure wind blades tore through their combat suits, leaving them covered in countless wounds. Yet, their determination remained unwavering.
Crucially, their short knives could indeed pierce through the wind surrounding him.
This was definitely an inhuman strength!
If he hadn’t reacted quickly and exploded a wind bullet between himself and the soldier, sending the latter flying, he would have been stabbed.
But he could only deflect one.
The other soldier plunged his knife into his body.
Had the wind not aided in deflecting the blade at the critical moment, the knife would have struck his heart instead of his abdomen.
Nevertheless, the current situation remained dire.
The soldier swiftly let go of the knife, ignoring the blood, and grabbed his electromagnetic rifle, ready to fire a burst at point-blank range.
If hit, the Howling Wind Emissary would likely meet his end on the spot.
His wind shield, already pierced by the knife, could not guarantee it would fully block the ‘Eagle’s’ shots.
In this critical moment, the Howling Wind Emissary steeled himself.
He spread his arms, moving forward instead of retreating, embracing the soldier, preventing the elite from firing his weapon.
Lacking the physical strength to match his opponent, he would soon be overpowered, but the storm magic surged at this critical moment!
Wind blades instantly whirled around him, mercilessly slicing into the soldier’s body.
The ceramic steel plates wouldn’t easily be destroyed, but they didn’t cover the entire body.
The combat suit was shredded by the high-pressure wind blades, followed by the flesh beneath.
Blood sprayed wildly, dispersed by the wind.
In an instant, the large figure was reduced to nothing, leaving behind only the rifle, bulletproof plates, helmet, personal effects, and fragments of bones…
The Howling Wind Emissary, now covered in blood, dared not linger for even a moment.
In the heat of the moment, he had unleashed his full power, achieving such a terrifying result.
However, he had personally experienced the prowess of these elite soldiers, starkly different from regular troops; the short knife still embedded in his abdomen was proof of that.
Any further hesitation, and more soldiers would soon be upon him.
Maintaining distance, relying on the wind shield to block bullets, he might have a chance to kill all the soldiers. But with Gu Hang around, capable of manipulating intricate psionic spells to sabotage him, and the current inability to create distance, the wind shield’s defense against close-range blades was far less effective than against bullets.
Additionally, his physical strength and combat skills, not much stronger than an ordinary person’s, put him at a significant disadvantage against these elite soldiers.
Gritting his teeth, he forcibly summoned more power.
The storm vortex wings behind him emitted a violent roar, and once again, he burst forth with extreme speed from his position!
This time, no one stood in his way!
He sped towards Gu Hang with incredible velocity.
Skimming the ground, he sliced through the thinning white mist!
He was like an arrow!
In the next moment, he crashed into Gu Hang, sending him flying.
The ferocious wind completely enveloped Gu Hang.
The Howling Wind Emissary treated Gu Hang far more brutally than the soldier he had sliced apart earlier.
He once again overloaded the storm magic’s energy, heedless of the severe backlash it would cause, determined to ensure Gu Hang’s death.
Gu Hang hit the ground hard.
Then, he stood up.
The Howling Wind Emissary stared at him with wide eyes, utterly unable to comprehend why this was happening.
The power he unleashed should have been enough to utterly shred Gu Hang’s body, so why did the Governor appear unscathed?
Gritting his teeth, he tried to summon his strength once more, but the storm did not respond to his call this time.
Instead, he felt a sharp pain in his lungs, as if the wind was continuously slicing through his chest cavity.
Unable to bear it, he doubled over, opened his mouth, and vomited blood, mixed with fragments of his lungs.
As the pain subsided slightly, he looked up and saw the nearby infantry fighting vehicle, its autocannon aimed directly at him.
Fire.
In an instant, several large-caliber machine gun rounds broke through his now fragile wind shield and destroyed his body.
…
Gu Hang still felt a lingering fear.
After the enemies appeared, he sensed that one of them was particularly strong. When dealing with the three, he allocated his power accordingly.
The other two were dealt with without much incident—one died before hitting the ground, and the other, who was gravely injured, was swiftly subdued and stabbed to death by three to five elite soldiers.
But the strongest one had been unexpected.
He had already attempted to intervene.
When the enemy was intercepted by the elite Marines mid-flight, it wasn’t easy for Gu Hang to stealthily deal another blow, making it possible for the soldier to stab the enemy in the abdomen.
Yet, despite the enemy’s magic reaching its limit and a knife in his abdomen, he still managed to unleash a terrifying burst of power.
Not only did he gruesomely dismember an elite Marine with the storm, but he also charged at Gu Hang, sending him flying, with the storm raging around him.
Under normal circumstances, he should have been dead, just like the dismembered Marine.
What saved him was the passive talent he gained when he leveled up to LV2: [Protective Aura].
This talent did not need activation; it triggered passively, providing protection when struck.
It truly saved Gu Hang’s life.
After being sent flying, Gu Hang felt the violent winds continually clashing with his psionics, wearing each other down.
The storm’s power was so fierce that in almost an instant, Gu Hang’s psionics were nearly exhausted.
Fortunately, the storm’s power came quickly and left just as fast, being a one-time burst of energy. Surviving it meant it was over.
However, enduring this attack left Gu Hang’s psionics nearly depleted.
But he wasn’t alone; the infantry fighting vehicle could finish the job.
Seeing the enemy, who was now pulverized and beyond revival, Gu Hang let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, my skills are superior.
