Sky-cracking Rider

"Received!" When it came to ensuring Her Royal Highness the Princess's personal safety, the Royal Guards of The Princess's Private Mansion would follow Chen Fei's instructions as well. "Hello, may I ask if you are Professor Mahab Rocher?" Two Royal Guards stopped one of the expert scholars about to enter the mansion. "..." The scholarly-looking man with glasses was clearly puzzled. And then... he was let through. "Hey, hey! What's going on, why didn't you stop him?" If "Adam" hadn't reminded him in time, Chen Fei would have thought that the two Royal Guards had successfully isolated the suspicious individual. "..." x2 The intercepting Royal Guards provided no response whatsoever. "Damn it! There's trouble, cease entry, cease entry, no one is allowed to enter the mansion, have those expert scholars stand still, and get the snipers in position!" Having once worked in the "Bear Hunting Special Operations Division" Team 04 and the Huntsman Squad, Chen Fei had extensive experience in counter-invasion tactics; after all, he had been involved in such infiltration missions over and over again. If those experiences were turned around, from spear to shield, they were still highly applicable. It had to be said that the Silan Royal Family really had found the right person. There weren't many professionals like him who had both extensive experience and were trustworthy. Housekeeper Mars, who was in the same communication channel, hastily asked, "What's happened?" "The two guards didn't stop the suspicious individual. I suspect they have been compromised." Chen Fei sprinted towards the mansion's main entrance without any hesitation. He did not worry about a diversionary tactic since he had left a contingency near the Princess. Housekeeper Mars issued commands without a moment's hesitation. "Seal the gates and corridors!" Though the upcoming salon was important, the Princess's personal safety was of utmost priority. "Everyone, stay where you are!" The Royal Guards at the mansion's gate, after stopping the expert scholars, retreated inside, preparing to close the door. Those about to enter the mansion, though confused, slowed down their steps and stood there, looking around, trying to figure out what was going on. "Zoka, Musto, come back!" The retreating Royal Guards called out to their colleagues who were still blankly standing in the same spot, the two who had been instructed by Chen Fei to intercept the scholar Mahab Rocher. Unaware of what had happened, they stood motionless, not responding to their colleagues' calls. "Stop calling them, they've been compromised. Close the door, now!" Through the surveillance system, Chen Fei noticed the two guards exhibiting abnormal behaviour. The already suspiciously tall Mahab Rocher behaved even more suspiciously. While the other expert scholars obediently stayed put, he approached the door with increasingly hurried steps. Taking advantage of the moment the Royal Guards inside were calling out to their colleagues, a figure flashed past, rushing through the door and into the depths of the corridor in the blink of an eye. "Damn!" Chen Fei, who had witnessed this scene through the surveillance cameras, took two steps at a time as he neared the entrance to the mansion. The Royal Guards, who had known only peace for so long, were fine with physical confrontations, but when it came to dealing with these strange tricks, their experience was sorely lacking, completely underestimating the malevolence of human nature. "Stop!" Chen Fei came face to face with the "Mahab Rocher" who had broken into The Princess's Private Mansion. He triggered the railgun combat rifle in his hands without hesitation, and the sound of rapid fire echoed, "pupupupu..." A series of holes riddled the wall behind "Mahab Rocher," sending debris flying everywhere. Chen Fei, battle-hardened, did not hesitate as the guards did, executing decisive action. The solid steel core bullets fired from the railgun combat rifle missed entirely, leaving "Mahab Rocher" seemingly unscathed. With a flick of his wrist, the railgun combat rifle transformed into a large, substantial tower shield that completely blocked the corridor. The magic array patterns on the shield flashed, electricity spread, and the Thunder Magic Shield (12) was activated, charging towards the intruder. The Royal Guards finally caught up, releasing their Battle Qi Flames without reserve. Together with Chen Fei, they sandwiched "Mahab Rocher" in the middle of the corridor, quickly narrowing his space. "Mahab Rocher" had to slow down his pace, looking back and forth before suddenly sweeping his arms out. "Slash!" Two rounds of silver blades silently shot out. "Space System!" "Not good!" The Royal Guards shouted, their scalps tingling, scrambling to dodge. The silver blades vanished as quickly as they appeared, leaving one guard with only half of his weapon remaining, his face pale with fear. The wall, previously battered by railgun combat rifle fire, was further scarred with a long, thin line. The entire structure had been completely penetrated by both the solid steel core bullets and the Space System attack, barely maintaining its shape. Chen Fei's tower shield was sheared off almost entirely, with the truncated part crashing to the ground. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and the wall behind him in the corridor bore a similar penetrating cut. The Thunder Series Magic Array on the surface of the shield couldn't withstand the unparalleled cutting force and collapsed in an instant. The attack power of the Space System was notoriously fierce and sharp, hard to defend against with other elements. The corresponding counters to the Elemental Series were only the Light Series, Dark Element, and Psychic Series. "It's a Space System Ability User, Housekeeper Mars. Prepare for transfer, we might need to tear down the house." Chen Fei retracted the Tower Shield that had been sliced through like butter by the silver blade, transforming it into a long spike. It was the weapon "Blood Spike," a heritage from the elderly Neanderthal patriarch Barut, which had by now been incorporated into the "Physical Evolution Database" as one of the weapons in the Cold Weapon category. The pattern on the surface of Blood Spike emitted a faint silver light, echoing the silver War Patterns that lit up on Chen Fei's body. He was not a true Neanderthal Clansperson, and even after successfully acquiring the War Pattern Secret Technique, some unknown changes had still occurred. "Who are you?" Chen Fei didn't retreat but advanced instead. The "Blood Spike" shot directly towards his opponent's vital spots, delivering thirty-six strikes in one breath, so fast it dazzled the eyes. His questioning did not interfere with his attacking. "Mahab Rocher" suddenly let out a strange laugh, leaping into the air and narrowly avoiding the rapid continuous thrusts of "Blood Spike" by mere inches, hanging upside down on the ceiling. This laugh made Chen Fei frown for a moment, a strange sense of familiarity seemingly heard somewhere before. The next second, the opponent pushed with both hands, and a huge Fireball roared out. Boom! The Princess's Private Mansion shook violently, and dense dust spewed out. Because most of the windows were bulletproof glass, they remained intact, whereas parts of the wall developed numerous cracks, the widest of which could even fit a finger through. "I know who you are now!" A light bulb went off in Chen Fei's head, a memory surging to the forefront. He casually threw "Blood Spike." "Didn't get me!" "Mahab Rocher" looked self-satisfiedly at the spike, which was over a foot away from him—an intimidating weapon, indeed, but what use was it if it couldn't hit him? What he didn't expect was that the next second, Chen Fei disappeared from his original spot without any warning. By the time "Mahab Rocher" reacted, Chen Fei had also appeared on the ceiling of the corridor, hanging upside down just like him, and extremely close. The evil wind howled as the long spike swept towards him. "Mahab Rocher" only managed to cry out in surprise before he felt a pain in his waist. Struck as if hit by a train, he was flung out on the spot. Two members of the Royal Guard shouted as they swung their weapons. Empowered by Battle Qi Flame, they came chopping down at him fiercely, one with a thick-backed broadsword, the other with a short sword for protection. The whistling blade qi spurted out more than a foot long. Two dull thuds, as if hitting leather, resounded and "Mahab Rocher"'s uncontrollable body was once again thrown back towards Chen Fei, who had just landed on the corridor floor. This time, the posture was textbook-perfect. "Oww..." He had taken a perfect home run hit! "Bring it on!" The Royal Guards once again found their synergy. It's not that they were inexperienced in combat, but rather that they weren't weak. Once they caught up with Chen Fei's pace, just like now. The suspect, who had intruded into the Princess's Private Mansion, turned into a tennis ball, one second on the east side of the corridor, the next on the west. Don't bully—no, that's not right, it turned into quite a sorry sight. After seventeen or eighteen exchanges, Chen Fei didn't hit back anymore. "Mahab Rocher," now a mess, collapsed at his feet, with barely a breath left in him. "Monster, reveal your true form!" Chen Fei poked the continuously twisting and writhing face with "Blood Spike," just as he had guessed. The face that belonged to Mahab Rocher wasn't the true appearance of the culprit. After a short time, the writhing facial skin finally calmed down. Chen Fei saw a familiar face. "'CopyCat'! It's really you!" The most dangerous Class B supernatural power user should have been captured, yet somehow appeared here, having copied some bizarre Special Abilities, attempting an assassination on the Princess of the Sulan Royal Family of Cangqiong Star. Could it be that someone behind the scenes... hiss! Chen Fei couldn't help but take a sharp intake of breath. He stepped on the exposed "CopyCat" while taking out his phone. A few seconds later, the call connected. "Miyoshi Monk, does the Global United Defense Committee want to trigger an interstellar war? Why has 'CopyCat' been released?" Last time, "CopyCat" was captured not by Chen Fei's efforts but thanks to receiving help from Louis Industries, lucking into a huge advantage. This time, however, it was their first real confrontation, and this "CopyCat" was unusually difficult to deal with, having also copied some powerful abilities. "Huh? Wait, what's happening?" On the other end of the phone, Miyoshi Xuesen was also taken aback. The sudden call from Chen Fei was really confusing, wasn't the notorious "CopyCat" just apprehended? How could there be another "CopyCat" now? Could there be two such terrifying supernatural power users? Chen Fei said with annoyance, "I've caught another 'CopyCat.' If there aren't two 'CopyCats,' then someone inside the Joint Defense Committee must have let him go." "This! Is! Impossible!" Miyoshi Monk shouted disbelievingly. Who dares to release such a dangerous fugitive? And from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, no less!
