Chapter 215 Breaking Through the Encirclement
In space, the Starship command module.
Qi Shanhe stood in front of the porthole, his hands behind his back.
The air in the command center felt compressed to its limit, and all the staff officers stared intently at the live feed on the main screen.
In the scene, Song Chen is jumping off the corpse with the head of the eldest son of the Sirius King in his hand, while behind him, a 100-meter-long Tier 6 Sirius is rampaging across the ice field at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Nuclear weapons ready," Qi Shanhe ordered.
He Zhengping's fingers flew across the terminal, transmitting the order to the four-nation joint fleet.
The staff officers at the control panel all entered a state of combat readiness, and the indicator lights on the weapon systems changed from green to orange-yellow.
Someone asked in a low voice, "Councilor Qi, shall we make a move now?"
Qi Shanhe didn't turn around; he stared intently at the screen.
"I couldn't beat Sirius at his peak, even with Zhou Wangyue, Qin Zhen, and Matvey combined."
"Let the Ice Demon's higher-ups fight first."
"The Sirius King has come from afar, while the Ice Demon King is waiting in comfort. Their clash will deplete at least some of the Sirius King's power. We'll make our move then."
"But what about Councilor Song..." He Zhengping hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Qi Shanhe's expression remained unchanged: "Don't worry, even if he can't beat me, he won't die. You might not be able to tell, but I can."
"Song Chen's movement technique is S-level, and like his swordsmanship, he has also cultivated it to the Grandmaster level."
"What?"
He Zhengping was greatly surprised.
……
On the icy plain, Song Chen held Solok's wolf head in one hand and looked up at the direction from which the sixth-tier celestial wolf was charging.
The giant wolf was sweeping across the ice field at supersonic speed, smashing through the ice demon bunker in its path.
The spiritual pressure of the sixth-tier beast king had already stirred a faint hum on the blade of the Heavenly Blade.
Without hesitation, he activated his soaring movement technique.
With master-level proficiency, one can ride the wind and change with its movements.
He tested it in the waters of the Bering Strait, and it applies equally well to the ice fields of Greenland.
The frigid polar winds were his best booster; wind-based spiritual energy formed a high-speed rotating vortex around him, instantly pushing his speed to its limit.
He darted across the ice, carrying the wolf's head in one hand. His toes touched the ground so fast that they were too fast for the naked eye to follow. Each step landed on the edge of an ice crack or in the gaps between pieces of ice, leaving a continuous, deep black afterimage across the icy plain.
The sixth-tier wolf chased to Solock's corpse, lowered its head, and touched the severed wolf head embedded in the ice with its nose.
Solock's blood had frozen into ice crystals.
It threw its head back and let out a mournful howl, the sound wave blasting all the ice fragments within a few hundred meters into ice powder.
Then it turned around, pawed at the ground, and chased after Song Chen in the direction he had fled.
"Stop that human, at all costs!"
Sirius vanguards surged in from all directions.
Third-order and fourth-order, densely packed, like a gray-white tide converging towards Song Chen.
In the sky, the Frostwing Eagle swooped down, and the Ice Ridge Dragon Lizard emerged from the ice crevice, opening its massive, barbed maw to bite Song Chen's back.
The massive bodies of polar snow bears lie across the ice field, like a row of moving white fortresses.
Looking at the increasingly dense swarm of wolves ahead, Song Chen felt no fear, only excitement.
Back in the Northern Plains, he had to chase after herds of beasts to accumulate enough kill points.
In the Bering Strait, sea monsters practically come to you, making the kill rate ten times higher than in the Northern Plains.
Now it's even better. He doesn't need to chase after them, and the sea beasts don't need to come to him on their own. The sixth-tier beast king of the Sky Wolf Clan has given a death order, and 100,000 exotic beasts are charging towards him.
No retreat allowed, this is a strict order.
Is there a more efficient way to kill?
The Heavenly Blade slashed out, and golden-purple arcs of electricity tore the gray-white sunlight of the polar region to shreds.
He unleashed his full power, and a spherical lightning field with a diameter of 120 meters rolled outwards from his center.
He didn't slow down, and charged straight into the dense horde of beasts ahead.
[A Tier 2 alien beast has been killed, gaining 88 kill points.]
[A Tier 3 alien beast has been killed, gaining 656 kill points.]
[A Tier 2 alien beast has been killed, gaining 56 kill points.]
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 2411 kill points.]
……
Second-order and below are directly carbonized, while third-order individuals convulse and collapse.
He didn't stop to finish off the low-level beast; it wasn't worth his slashing. His lightning domain was enough to crush it.
Finishing blows are reserved for those at Tier 4 and above.
Sirius's army was extremely elite, with none below the second rank, and their kill count began to jump at an unprecedented speed.
A fifth-tier Ice Spine Dragon Lizard pounced from the side, spewing out a cloud of extremely cold air.
Before it even opened its mouth, the Eye of Truth had already marked the range and trajectory of the freezing air. Song Chen dodged to the side, and the Heavenly Blade slashed upwards, cutting open the dragon lizard's lower jaw with a single stroke. The blade cut along the jawbone joint and into the cranial cavity.
[A Tier 5 alien beast has been killed, gaining 42431 kill points.]
He pushed off with his feet, and Fuyao carried him over the dragon lizard's corpse.
Three fourth-tier celestial wolves charged forward side by side, their claws carving out more than a dozen deep furrows on the ice.
He moved through the claw net of the three-headed wolves, his Eye of Truth projecting all the attack trajectories simultaneously. The left wolf's claw attack reached his face in 0.3 seconds, the middle wolf's tail strike swept his waist in 0.5 seconds, and the right wolf pounced and bit his throat in 0.4 seconds.
He ducked to dodge the left wolf's claw attack, flipped over the middle wolf's tail strike, and plunged his knife into the right wolf's mouth before its sharp teeth could bite down, causing lightning to explode from the inside of its skull.
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 6544 kill points.]
Without pausing, he walked through the corpses of Sirius, still holding Solock's wolf head in his left hand.
The fifth-tier personal guard, Sirius, caught up again.
The three creatures rushed to the front, and when they saw the wolf head that Song Chen was holding, their eyes simultaneously burst into mournful howls.
The claw-like energy, wrapped in frost, struck down simultaneously from three directions, sealing off all angles in front and to the sides.
Song Chen did not slow down.
The Grandmaster-level Soaring Technique is not simply about speed, but about absolute control over airflow.
The vortex of wind-elemental spiritual energy around his body automatically sensed the change in air pressure brought by the claw-like energy, propelling him through the only gap between the three claw-like energy formations.
The gap was less than half a meter wide and lasted for no more than 0.3 seconds.
The moment he passed through, he swung the Heavenly Blade in a backhand motion, unleashing the third strike of the Seven Heavenly Thunder Slashes.
The blade slashed horizontally at extremely close range, cutting from the left wolf's throat to the right wolf's ribs, simultaneously slicing open the vital points of both wolves.
[A Tier 5 alien beast has been killed, gaining 56523 kill points.]
[A Tier 5 alien beast has been killed, gaining 45212 kill points.]
The third Sirius's claws grazed his shoulder armor, sending sparks flying across the Northern Darkness Armor.
Without turning around, he thrust his blade into the abdomen of the frenzied wolf, and the Heavenly Thunder from the Nine Heavens poured in along the blade.
As Sirius convulsed and collapsed, he had already slipped through the gap between the fourth and fifth Tier 5 Sirius.
[A Tier 5 alien beast has been killed, gaining 41233 kill points.]
The sixth-tier celestial wolf was chasing him less than three kilometers behind, propelling its body forward hundreds of meters with each push of the ground.
But Song Chen was too fast. With his Grandmaster-level speed boost and the lightweight structure of the Beiming Battle Armor, his speed on the ice even surpassed that of most sixth-tier alien beasts flying in the air.
The sixth-tier beast king of the Sirius raced for nearly five minutes, but the distance between them did not shorten; instead, the gap widened by several hundred meters.
It let out an extremely angry roar from behind.
