James was terrified and stammered, "I don't know either. I'm just a lowly soldier following orders. Because I'm an unofficial member of the vampire and werewolf clans, they don't consider me a core member, so they made me carry out this mission alone. Luckily, I have the ability to transform."
A glint of silver light flashed in Ling Yun's eyes. James's words struck at the deepest worry in his heart. The dark creature actually chose to attack Lingling. If he hadn't arrived in time, Lingling would probably be gone. Ling Yun dared not think any further. But this was just an accidental encounter. What if he hadn't encountered the Sihai Group's plane?
Of course, most importantly, James's mention of the dark creatures' rituals caught his attention. What kind of rituals required werewolves and vampires to unite? Ling Yun suddenly recalled the serious expression on the face of the deputy chief arbitrator, Theodore, before his departure from Hong Kong. Was there any connection between the two?
Something big is about to happen in Europe, but it's none of my business, and Ling Yun doesn't have the time to worry about it. Right now, the most important thing is to treat Xia Tian first, then safely send Lingling and the others back to China, and then go find the Superpower Headquarters without stopping. If I'm not mistaken, Xia Lan should have already made contact with the Superpower Headquarters by now, and the Superpower Headquarters should be in the United States.
He looked at James, then suddenly carried the vampire to the cabin door: "I'm going to throw you off here. Below is nearly 10,000 meters in the air. You've been imprisoned by me and can't escape as a bat. Considering how many questions you answered, I'll give you a chance to survive. Whether you live or die is up to fate."
James' eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly. Although he was imprisoned, as long as the energy for the third transformation was still there, even if he was smashed into a pulp, he could revive through self-healing, just like when his heart and head were blown off the first two times.
Ling Yun suddenly opened the hatch, and the strong wind generated by the 800-mile-per-hour speed immediately rushed in. Everything that was not fixed immediately flew around. The airflow at high altitude was quite strong. If an ordinary person were standing here, they would probably be blown out of the hatch by the violent airflow immediately.
Ling Yun stood like a nail at the hatch, looking at the howling wind and endless white clouds outside, and said to James, word by word, "Your Highness, Marquis, don't be so clever. Do you think I didn't see the signal you sent before you were imprisoned? But I'd like to see the super strongmen of your dark creatures, and see what kind of strength the Golden Wolf King and the Vampire Grand Duke really have?"
Before James, whose expression had turned to one of utter disbelief, could react, Ling Yun kicked him far away, then slammed the cabin door shut with a bang, finally bringing the cabin back to silence.
James's subtle actions did not escape Ling Yun's notice. He was clearly sending a communication signal, and even if Ling Yun didn't understand its meaning, he could tell it was a distress call. This meant that higher and more powerful dark creatures would soon catch up. However, Ling Yun was not flustered at all. In fact, this was exactly what he wanted. James was just a lowly soldier who knew nothing. Ling Yun needed to capture some high-level dark creatures or even super dark creatures to ask them what kind of sacrificial activities the dark creatures were holding.
James floated thousands of meters through the air due to inertia before beginning his freefall. As his body plummeted, James's expression turned ferocious. Ling Yun had thoroughly humiliated him, filling the inherently cruel vampire with hatred.
The vampire thought he would capture Li Lingling easily, but he didn't expect to lose two opportunities to transform in a row and end up being imprisoned. He even had to endure the pain of falling to his death again. James wished he could tear everyone on the plane to pieces. He couldn't afford to offend Ling Yun, but the others were no match for him.
James thought viciously, regarding Su Bingyan and Chen Jiaxuan as appendages of the vampire in his imagination. He wanted to humiliate and toy with them, to turn them into whores ridden by a thousand men, and to make Ling Yun see their unbearable suffering before he could finally avenge himself.
A strange itchy sensation suddenly came from his feet. Since James had fallen headfirst, he only needed to lift his toes to see what was happening.
This sight was quite alarming, instantly terrifying James. He didn't know when, but a layer of light yellow light suddenly appeared from the soles of his feet, then slowly moved upwards, turning everything in its path into pale yellow rocks!
No!
James screamed wildly, his facial muscles contorting. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was in a nightmare! How could he turn into stone? How could he turn into stone? He watched in despair as the yellow light slowly spread to his waist, his life force rapidly draining away, and a numb and heavy feeling coming from his lower body.
The vampire suddenly turned in mid-air, now head up, because his lower limbs had turned to stone, which changed his balance. His lips trembled as he desperately and numbly prayed that his ancestors or a demon would suddenly appear and save his life from its impending demise.
But no miracle happened. The vampire's lips, which had been moving incessantly, suddenly froze. Then, a wave of numbness washed over his head, turning his pupils into a lifeless, deathly gray.
With a loud crash, James's sculpture slammed onto the open field, the once-intact statue shattering into countless fragments, waiting to join the eternally fertile earth in building a beautiful and harmonious home.
"Ling Yun! Am I dreaming?! How did you get here?"
Chen Feng and Zhao Yu, along with a group of men, had just stepped out of the cockpit fully armed and carrying parachutes when they saw the composed Ling Yun. They stared in disbelief for half a second before enthusiastically rushing over and giving the skinny boy a bear pounce.
"Brother Chen Feng, Brother Zhao Yu!" Ling Yun hugged the two special forces soldiers with great joy. He hadn't seen them since they parted ways more than half a year ago, so he was naturally overjoyed to be reunited with them!
"Hey! Where's that vampire, Ling Yun?" Chen Feng seemed to remember something, turned around and looked around, asking in surprise.
"I took him down and threw him off the plane," Ling Yun said casually, as if he had done something insignificant. "Brother Xia Tian suffered some minor injuries, and Chen Jiaxuan is treating him. Su Bingyan fainted, and Lingling is treating her too." He pointed to the two rooms as he spoke.
"You took him down! Brother Lingyun, you're amazing!" Zhao Yu exclaimed in surprise, patting Lingyun's shoulder hard, but then a look of worry appeared on his face. "I wonder how Xia Tian's injuries are."
"Don't worry, Brother Zhao Yu, Xia Tian's injuries will definitely be fine. I'm here for you," Ling Yun said with a smile.
Looking at Ling Yun, Zhao Yu felt a sense of calm wash over him. This young man seemed to possess a calming power.
"What are you doing? Are you getting ready to parachute?" Ling Yun asked, looking at Chen Feng, Zhao Yu, and the large group of crew members behind them carrying parachutes.
"Yeah," Chen Feng said with a wry smile. "That vampire was really strong, like he was invincible. Xia Tian and Lingling are both superhumans, and even two against one would have a hard time winning. We're just ordinary people, so we couldn't help. The plane was probably going to be destroyed at any moment, so I had them ready to jump out of the plane. That way, we wouldn't be adding any burden to Xia Tian. I didn't expect you to solve the problem with just a few punches and kicks. Haha, Brother Lingyun, it's been more than half a year since I last saw you. You've become much stronger. You can even touch the plane in the sky. It's a miracle!"
Chen Feng said, "Now that Brother Lingyun has taken care of the enemy, can we take this thing off? It's too uncomfortable to carry it around." He pointed to the black canvas parachute pack on his back.
“Let’s carry it for now, be ready to parachute at any time. The danger isn’t over yet. That vampire sent out a distress signal before he died, and there might be even more powerful vampires chasing after us at any moment,” Ling Yun said after thinking for a moment.
He knew in his heart that the chances of a high-level dark creature catching up were slim. The speed of the broadcasting plane was astonishing. Even Ling Yun, with his flying skills, had to exert tremendous effort to catch up. No matter how strong a vampire was, could it catch up with a plane with just a pair of bat-like bony wings? No way! James must have been hanging on the plane beforehand.
If the plane can be saved, then everyone will be safe. However, Lingyun doesn't know anything about the dark creatures and doesn't know what methods they will use to attack, so it's necessary to be prepared.
"What? There are vampires too!" Chen Feng and Zhao Yu exclaimed in shock, their expressions changing instantly.
Behind the two stood tall and beautiful waitresses and crew members, all ordinary people who had never heard of such a terrifying creature as a vampire. Upon hearing the young man speak, their faces turned pale with fright, and their legs trembled uncontrollably.
Ling Yun gave Chen Feng a wink, and Chen Feng understood. He immediately led everyone back to the cockpit. These were all employees of the Sihai Group, and it was necessary to protect their safety.
"It's just a possibility, I can't be sure, but Brother Zhao Yu, don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you!" Ling Yun said calmly.
Zhao Yu nodded heavily, saying nothing, but gripped Ling Yun's shoulder tightly: "I believe you, brother. Chen Feng and I went back to the cockpit. I won't be a burden to you. If there's any danger, just let me know. I'll parachute directly from the cockpit with these employees. Don't worry, if it's just parachuting, I can guarantee my safety and the safety of these people."
Talking to smart people is simple. Without Ling Yun saying anything, Chen Feng and Zhao Yu already understood his intention.
After Chen Feng and Zhao Yu led their men back, Ling Yun thought for a moment, then flicked his finger. A flash of silver light appeared, and a protective barrier was instantly added to the cockpit area. His ability to create barriers was now vastly different from before. The protective barrier not only possessed all the characteristics of an isolation barrier but was also incredibly strong; even an explosion of the plane would not damage it in the slightest. Even a lieutenant-level ability user would have to expend a tremendous amount of effort to break through the barrier and enter.
With a whoosh, the cabin door slowly opened, and Chen Jiaxuan stepped out, wiping the sweat from her smooth forehead. She lazily stretched out her arms and exclaimed in a sweet voice, "I'm exhausted! I won't be a good person next time. Oh, you're Ling Yun! How did you get on the plane? Amazing!" Her voice immediately changed from complaint to surprise.
Ling Yun smiled as he looked at Chen Jiaxuan. After several months apart, this somewhat mischievous girl hadn't changed at all, but Ling Yun had changed dramatically. The mystery that he couldn't see before was now fully revealed to him.
Chen Jiaxuan ran over in a few steps, exaggeratedly wanting to hug Ling Yun, but stopped abruptly before doing so. She opened her arms and looked around furtively, whispering, "Ling Yun, where are your two girlfriends, Su Bingyan and Li Lingling? They're not here, are they? It wouldn't be good if they saw me hugging you."
Ling Yun had a headache. Two girlfriends? If Xiao Rou heard this, he would never be able to clear his name!
Just as he was about to speak, Chen Jiaxuan suddenly pounced on him, hugging him tightly with both arms, and said with a giggle, "Never mind, let's hug first. Let them misunderstand if they see it."
Just then, the door to another cabin suddenly opened, and Lingling ran out in a panic, anxiously shouting, "Yun, come quick! What's wrong with Bingyan? Why isn't she waking up? Hey, what are you doing?"
She stared in disbelief at the two people embracing, swallowing the rest of her words.
Chapter 414 Stealing Jade and Fragrance
"Lingling, I'm hugging your Lingyun to test his resistance to beautiful women, to see if he's devoted to you or a womanizer." Chen Jiaxuan slowly released Lingyun, saying innocently without even blinking, making one admire the calm and collected demeanor of this Vidal Sassoon beauty.
