Beginning with the Ubume Bird-Chapter 280 - 6 Fleeing Far Away

Chapter 280: Chapter 6 Fleeing Far Away

This was a black combat aircraft that Li Yan couldn’t name, angular and sharp like millennia-old unmelting black ice.

Fourth-tier troop: Black Buddha

Category: Heavy fighter jet

Affiliation: Danzuo Automobile

Weapon configuration: zl-30mm semi-automatic single-barrel autocannon

500 kg cluster bombs

Note: A bomber crafted from the remnants of pre-Winter Soviet government data and existing technology by the Sukhoi Design Bureau, initially a fourth-tier troop model named “Black Pompeii” by Pompeii Armaments. Danzuo Automobile made a hefty purchase, conducted some tuning, gave it a makeover, and dubbed it Black Buddha.

No, not just one!

Li Yan’s heart sank.

A flock of black combat aircraft, resembling geese, pierced the pale yellow sandstorm, catching Li Yan’s eye. There were more than six, with some ahead and some behind!

Dammit!

Li Yan twisted the steering wheel. The Dodge Tomahawk emitted a fierce roar, transforming into a streak of silver lightning, darting into the rugged clusters of sandstone!

Li Yan wasn’t sure what rank his strength would be considered in this desolate, mad world filled with warfare, but he did not believe he could handle a squadron of fighter jets under these circumstances.

“Gibraltar, this is Vaisravana, we’ve spotted a lone refugee. Should we clean him up?”

In the cockpit of the fighter, a black pilot with goggles atop his head, cheeks gaunt from malnourishment.

“Deal with him quickly, then return to formation.”

A thick male voice came through the radio.

“Understood.”

The “Black Buddha” codenamed Vaisravana broke away from the squadron, diving from a kilometer above, assaulting Li Yan. The black pilot aimed the gun at the speeding Dodge Tomahawk and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

“Hold tight!”

Li Yan scowled fiercely. As the Dodge Tomahawk weaved between magenta rock pillars, the blinding flames from the jet’s exhaust trailed the “Black Buddha” like a relentless sword.

Sand drowned Li Yan’s eyes, the air was heavy with the pungent scent of gunpowder, and a sonic boom assaulted his eardrums. A string of fiery bullets grazed the rear end of the motorcycle, leaving black craters on the sand and wind-sculpted rocks.

Afafu had an infant swaddled to her chest. She wrapped her arms tightly around Li Yan’s waist, the baby sandwiched between them, with massive dark shadows sweeping overhead.

“Must be some unlucky wilderness hunter.”

The pilot in Vaisravana glanced at Li Yan’s face, smirked, and switched the weapons to cluster bombs, ascending slowly towards the sky.

“He’s leaving!”

Afafu cried out in surprise.

“Leaving my ass!”

Li Yan’s forehead veins bulged, an unprecedented immense pressure eroding his body and mind. In his black pupils, white waves churned past icebergs.

The high-flying pilot pressed the release button, a series of blue orbs tracing parabolas from the sky. Their target, the sandstone rocks below.

Appalling waves surged up from under the tires; simultaneously, a golden blaze and countless shrapnel shards completely engulfed the rocky cluster!

Cresting water and erupting fire collided behind the Dodge Tomahawk!

Fire and steam produced a massive white mushroom cloud, and the forceful blast sent the Dodge Tomahawk soaring into the air!

The black pilot in Vaisravana coldly observed the golden inferno below, when suddenly, a silver speck in his pupils grew larger!

It could have been the pilot’s illusion, but for a moment, about ten meters above the motorcycle, he saw a girl enveloped in layers of white feathers, with crimson eyelids and eyebrows, surrounded by nine blossoming lotus platforms.

Hidden Flight!

All at once, the girl vanished and in her place stood a young man cloaked in a black trench coat, his eyes nearly spilling over with brutality!

Hidden Flight enhancement effect: [Upon activation, one can switch places with the projection of the “Goddess Gu Huo” at any time. Range is about eight meters around oneself!]

“Damn~Brat~!”

Li Yan clenched his teeth. His back twisted like a dragon, his upper body bent, and underneath his feet, a massive block of ice rapidly formed!

Bang!

Li Yan leaped upwards once more, throwing the Tiger Head Great Spear in his hand. The Devouring Blade whirled upwards, bringing with it a ghastly chill!

“Wandering Deity?! Psychic Mover?!”

The mech pilot was shocked; in his life, he had never seen such an exaggerated, insane move!

But this did not mean that as a fourth-order combat pilot, he would just stand there in a daze!

The Black Buddha’s chassis tilted, and the single-barreled cannon faced the ice-stepping, airborne, and force-lacking Li Yan at an unbelievable angle.

“Die!”

A violent storm of bullets poured onto Li Yan’s body.

Fragments of ice and clouds of blood burst forth into the air at the same time.

The Black Buddha swept through the sky in a strange S-curve, the Devouring Blade grazing the windscreen, a near miss that did not hit the fighter jet.

“What a pity, Mr. Marvel.”

Looking at the rapidly falling motorcycle and the “corpse,” the pilot aboard the Vaisravana sighed in relief. He covered his chest, struggling for breath. His throat was sweet, and his vision blurred; but when he blinked and opened his eyes again, all he could see was the blood that could not be wiped away, and the motorcycle and body in the air had also vanished…

“Ahh~”

He felt a chill all over his body and could not help coughing up a mouthful of blood, leaving a red stain inside his collar.

The Vaisravana began to sway erratically in the sky, like a drunken strong man.

Blood Dip!

…

Afafu was thrown off the motorcycle midway, and as she plummeted rapidly through the air, she clutched the baby tightly, her eyelids shut firmly, her lips trembling ceaselessly, until she crashed into a waterspout with a bang.

“Huff~ Huff~”

Li Yan propped himself up with the great spear using one hand, pieces of bloody shrapnel embedded in his chest and arm. He was sopping wet, and the water stains on his clothes, along with the shattered ice, drawn in by the water absorbed into the sand, converged towards him at a visible speed and then disappeared.

Afafu clutched her chest, the successive impacts making the baby in her swaddle begin to wail, the cries indistinguishable between fear and excitement.

“How did you do it, I clearly saw you were hit by bullets.”

Li Yan squeezed the shrapnel from his body, and the wounds quickly stopped bleeding.

[Hidden Flight Enhancement Effect: When activating Hidden Flight, gain a Gang Dou Bodyguard barrier, especially effective against arrows and bullets!]

“Damn it. That’s kind of intoxicating.” Li Yan shook his head and grabbed Afafu: “Let’s go quickly!”

The Dodge Tomahawk in the air was reclaimed by his personal imprint, and the eight-meter instant teleportation effect of Hidden Flight, along with the added Gang Dou Bodyguard effect, saved his life. He himself was scared after the event; not to mention the cluster bombs, even if Li Yan had stayed a few more seconds under the barrage of the single-barrel cannon, the Gang Dou power would have been broken, and he would have lost his life!

In addition, Li Yan lastly inflicted a secretive Blood Dip on that black ghost; as for the effect, he could not be certain.

…

“Vaisravana, this is Gibraltar, why are you so slow?”

The man scolded through the radio, but what answered him was a prolonged silence.

“Vaisravana?”

The man’s heart sank.

“Hehehe~ Hahaha~”

Insane laughter came over the radio, followed by meaningless babble interspersed with local slang.

“Glazed Pure Land~” “Mama, have you reached nirvana?” “Long live Medicine Buddha!” “Such warm fermented mare’s milk~”

Gibraltar’s fighter jet did not hesitate to lead the team back, and what they ultimately saw was the Black Buddha, worth over ten million dollars, plunging straight to the ground, turning into a fireball.

“What’s going on?” the man muttered to himself. “Has he gone mad?”

Blood Dip Enhancement Effect: [Blood Dip will include fixed damage to two of the Three Souls and six of the Seven Spirits: “Fetal Light,” “Refreshing Spirit,” “Squatting Arrow,” “Swallowing Thief,” “Non-poison,” “Remove Filth,” “Foul Lung,” “Corpse Dog.”]

Meanwhile, Li Yan had already fled with Afafu and her child.
