Luo Kai looked at the Insect Queen as it gradually disappeared into the distance. He sighed inwardly. He was also helpless against this kind of flying creature. He could only hope that the army had a way to deal with it.
There were still many insects shuttling back and forth in the city, but they were no longer a threat.
After experiencing this calamity, Changyuan City had been completely reduced to ruins, and a grey and hazy mist lingered in the sky above the city. It wasn't dust or smoke, but the resentment of countless lives that had perished, and it was filled with despair, resentment, and reluctance to leave life behind.
When they returned to the hotel, the people in the basement had already come out. They were looking out through the gap created by the guns. Lu Qing was also among them. Her face was filled with anxiety. When she saw Luo Kai's figure, her expression finally relaxed.
"The insects have been driven away. Let's find a place to rest."
Luo Kai said simply. He and Lu Qing found a well-preserved room and stayed in it. He lay on the bed and stared blankly. Compared to other people, he could feel the sadness and nostalgia that pervaded the city more. His body and mind were inevitably affected.
Lu Qing saw his gloomy expression and gently squeezed into his embrace. She asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Luo Kai lowered his head and kissed Lu Qing's snow-white cheeks. He buried his head in her hair that was emitting a familiar fragrance. His spirit seemed to be supported, and his restless blood and Qi gradually calmed down.
The two of them were affectionate for a while. A series of discordant footsteps sounded in the corridor. After a while, a hoarse voice sounded, "Little friend Luo, can you meet me?"
Luo Kai sat up and said to Lu Qing apologetically, "An annoying fellow is here."
Lu Qing tidied up her messy hair and said softly, "Is he your friend? Let him in."
"He's not a friend. He's trouble." Luo Kai shrugged and got up to open the door.
Mu Shan was standing outside the door. He said with a humble smile, "Little friend Luo, I'm really sorry to disturb you so late."
"What's the matter? Just say it." Luo Kai had no intention of inviting them in.
Mu Shan was a little embarrassed. As the Commander of the Combatant Division, no one in Seongma Province had ever dared to speak to him like this. However, the kid in front of him was different. In just over a month, the kid's strength had undergone a huge change again.
Putting aside the fact that he could easily kill the giant worm that even a Physique Warrior could not deal with, he could feel an invisible pressure just by standing in front of him. He had only felt this kind of feeling when facing a Physique Master.
Could it be that this kid had already advanced into a Physique Master?
It was no wonder that the Body Arts Association had sent a Body Master to personally capture him. This was too monstrous!
While Mu Shan was secretly shocked, he humbled himself even more and said, "About that … Young Luo, the Insect Queen is fleeing to the Misty Mountains. Once it gathers another locust army, Seongma Province will be in trouble …
Luo Kai interrupted him expressionlessly, "The Insect Queen never comes down from the sky. If I had the chance to kill it, I would have done it long ago."
Mu Shan's face became serious and said, "That's right. That's why we've contacted three flying brigades to snipe the Insect Queen. However, the Insect Queen is protected by three giant worms. These giant worms are good at using terrifying sound waves, so it's difficult to get close to them. Now, we can only ask for Young Luo's help again."
Mu Shan hesitated and continued, "If it's successful, Young Luo, with your meritorious service, the Physique Warrior Association will not brazenly arrest you. I'll also ask the Grand Lord to personally send a letter to the Body Arts Association. We'll definitely find a way to ask them to remove your arrest warrant."
Luo Kai frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. He naturally understood his own situation. The Judicial Department would not give up on arresting him just because of his meritorious service. He did not care about this, but he really did not want to see another disaster like the one that happened in Changyuan County in the past two days. He was not a great hero who saved the world, but he had to protect the kindness of human nature.
"Luo Kai, go. Don't worry about me," Lu Qing said softly behind him.
Mu Shan was stunned when he saw Lu Qing. He then sighed secretly. He had already noticed that there was a woman in the room, but he did not expect her to be so beautiful. How could a person like Luo Kai not have a few female confidantes? His own daughter also had no appetite for food or drink every day.
…
There was a fuel armored vehicle parked outside the hotel. On the way, Mu Shan could not help but ask, "Young Luo, have you advanced to become a physique master?"
Luo Kai shook his head, "No." He then closed his eyes. He was touched by Mu Shan's words and fell into deep thought.
His super strong combat power came from the explosive power brought about by the rapid circulation of his Qi and blood. He should still be very far away from becoming a physique master. If he wanted to become a physique master, he must undergo the transformation of external energy. He definitely could not let the evil energy enter his body, and he did not have time to study the elemental energy.
In addition, he faintly felt that it was wrong to forcibly let a single external energy enter his body. The small universe in his body contained all the external energy. The true path of cultivation should be to strengthen the five internal organs with elemental energy, strengthen the body with chaotic energy, and strengthen the blood with light and dark energy. Although time and space were illusory, there was a high probability that they corresponded with one's spirit and will. When the energy that built everything was complete, the small universe in one's body would be completely formed. That was the true path of the heavens.
The vehicle drove into a military airport outside of Changyuan City. The airport had been destroyed by the swarm of insects. After the runway had been repaired, there were a few small two-winged fighter jets that were loaded with ammunition parked there.
Mu Shan led Luo Kai to the front of one of the fighter jets. There was already a man standing there with a Cicada Sword on his back.
"Little friend Luo, this is my second brother, Yan Fei. He studied at Shang Jing University in his early years. Not only is he good at physical skills, but he's also good at piloting all kinds of fighter jets and tanks. You've already met him. This time, he'll be bringing you to find an opportunity to kill the Zerg Queen. The Zerg Queen flies very fast, so you'll have to pilot a fighter jet to chase after it."
The man with the sword quickly went forward and extended his hand, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Physique Master."
Luo Kai shook his hand, "I'm not a physique master. You can call me Luo Kai."
Yan Fei was stunned and looked at Mu Shan.
Mu Shan smiled and said, "Second brother, Luo Kai is not a physique master yet, but you've seen his combat power."
It was not Luo Kai's first time on a plane. There were no complicated electronic devices in this world. Everything relied on machinery. It was very crude and had a high failure rate. Every pilot had to be a mechanical engineer.
Yan Fei was piloting the plane skillfully. Along with the roar of the engine, the fighter jet flew into the night sky.
"Brother Luo, the Zerg Queen flies very fast. I'll have to increase the horsepower."
The wind was very strong tonight. A strong airflow blew in their faces. The fighter jet started to roll.
Yan Fei nervously operated the steering stick and apologized, "Brother Luo, I'm sorry. The model in Seongma Province is too old."
Yan Fei's attitude was very friendly. He kept calling Luo Kai "Brother Luo". Luo Kai felt helpless. This guy was much older than him. How could he be so thick-skinned?
The fighter jet made another violent roll. The engine was buzzing and it started to dive.
Luo Kai was shocked. He cursed in his heart and quickly grabbed the parachute bag next to him. He wondered if he should jump out of the plane. It was thousands of meters high in the sky. With his ability, he would not be able to land well if he fell.
Yan Fei was also cursing, "Damn, this fighter jet hasn't flown for many years. The engine is rusty!"
When the fighter jet was getting closer to the ground, the engine roared and the power was restored. It flapped its wings and took off. Both of them were relieved.
