Mike stared at Xiaorou, his heart filled with rage. When did someone who was still the most insignificant in his eyes dare to challenge his dignity? Did this girl really think that just because she had some opportunities and grew into a super strong person, she could do whatever she wanted? If he didn't teach her a lesson, she probably wouldn't even know what the word "power" meant.
At this point, Mike couldn't refuse, nor could he refuse. It seemed that the struggle with the Superpower Headquarters had taken a turn for the worse, turning into a fierce battle with a girl who wasn't from the Superpower Headquarters. But things had come to this point, and Mike could only grit his teeth and continue. He thought Xiao Rou was doing it on purpose, and his anger burned even more intensely.
Mike slowly took off his bodysuit, revealing his bronze skin beneath only a white cotton vest. His well-defined muscles bulged high, giving him an extremely powerful and beautiful appearance.
His eyes narrowed, and he grinned maliciously: "Very good, you are a formidable young man. I never thought that I, who have already entered the age of knowing one's destiny, could still fight against a super strong man of twenty years old. Come on, let me see how much you have improved. Since you have challenged me, then be prepared to pay a price you cannot imagine. I will not go easy on you just because you are young and a woman. Do you understand?"
“Many people have said similar things to me before,” Xiaorou said expressionlessly. “But they are all dead now, Lord Mike. Just because someone is famous for a long time doesn’t mean they are stronger. You’re underestimating me when you say that. I advise you not to do that, or you will be in a very passive position. What I need is an opponent, not an arrogant fool.”
Mike was somewhat surprised, not expecting Xiao Rou to say such a thing. Although the last two words, "idiot," were quite impolite, what the girl said did make a lot of sense. He had indeed underestimated Xiao Rou. Only now did he truly begin to examine this young super strong person. Clearly, the girl's arrogance was not unfounded; she did have the capital to be arrogant.
Loki, Hans, and a few others came up and looked at him with questioning eyes. Mike understood what they meant, because such a fight was meaningless and it would be better to give up. He represented the Superpowers Bureau, not someone who was not from Superpowers Headquarters and was just trying to fight with other superpowered individuals. In other words, his contest with Xiaorou was meaningless in the context of the conflict between the two super organizations.
However, Mike shook his head firmly. A fire was burning in his heart. How long had it been since he had felt such intense fighting spirit? Mike couldn't remember, but he was first and foremost a superhuman, and only then the deputy director of the Superhuman Bureau. Now, everything he was doing was fighting for his own dignity.
Loki and the others said nothing and retreated. They couldn't help but find Mike's actions strange. Mike was a staunch dove, and in theory, he shouldn't be acting so forcefully. But now, Mike was behaving more hawkishly than the hawks themselves. However, since they were colleagues in the Superpowers Bureau, they naturally had to firmly support him.
Mike silently released his mental field, and the powerful aura of a super strongman swept across the entire area. In an instant, people from both camps fell silent. This was the true strength of a super strongman. Even super strongmen of the same level became serious. Everyone must give enough attention to a true strongman and true power.
Loki and the others standing behind him were shocked. When did Mike's mental field reach the level of a mid-level expert? Had he deliberately concealed his power?
Mike looked as if he were enveloped in a silver balloon, radiating a tangible silver light that turned his skin a pure silver color, and even his eyes became shimmering silver, making him look like a statue.
The psychic field drew a perfect arc around him, with the top of the arc just brushing past Xiao Rou's toes. Mike controlled the powerful psychic force to be only a few millimeters away from Xiao Rou, so that Xiao Rou did not even feel the slightest gust of wind. It was as if he had hit a hair from a distance of hundreds of meters. The precise and terrifying control of psychic power was breathtaking.
Xiao Rou's expression remained unchanged, but she was secretly on guard. As expected of a veteran super strong person, her terrifying telekinetic control alone had already surpassed Tian Yuning's. However, with this alone, she still could not accomplish what she wanted to try.
Suddenly, without warning, the girl floated into the air, as if an invisible thread was slowly pulling her up.
Everyone was puzzled and looked at Xiaorou, not understanding what she meant by this action. Did she want to start an aerial battle? But Xiaorou's posture did not seem to indicate that. She rose into the air and stopped, hovering, and slowly closed her eyes. Her mental energy field only appeared on the surface of her body, but did not expand at all, as if she was condensing something.
Wesh and Tang Tiejin seemed to realize something, and they stopped whispering to each other, turning their eyes to the girl in the air.
“This feeling is so strange,” Wisch said, frowning. “It’s like I can’t remember anything?”
“Angel Wings!” Tang Tiejin said, enunciating each word clearly.
A pair of silver wings appeared silently behind Xiaorou, extending outwards to five meters. Making the most of the spatial power, the girl's entire body suddenly shone brightly the moment the silver wings appeared. The dazzling silver light made everyone squint. The girl in the sky was like a beautiful and awe-inspiring angel descending, radiating an endless and powerful spiritual force field.
Mike stared at Xiaorou in shock; those wings looked like the legendary wings of an angel. No wonder this girl was so arrogant; she certainly deserved it.
Their mental energy fields barely touched, each sensing the other's power, before retracting. A look of realization suddenly appeared on Xiaorou's face.
Everyone stirred, and many knowledgeable and powerful individuals couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. They never expected that Gu Xiaorou would possess the legendary supernatural ability, Angel Wings, a powerful supernatural ability that could directly increase power several times over.
Wesh and Tang Tiejin exchanged a glance, then simultaneously leaped away.
Chapter 422 Plane Crash
The engine stalled! The expressions of the group immediately changed. They were now at an altitude of 10,000 meters. If the plane crashed, even those with superpowers would be in danger. Not everyone was like Ling Yun, who had mastered the art of flight.
"Why did the engine shut down?" Ling Yun's expression also became serious; the thing he feared most had happened.
“I don’t know. The pilot can’t find any reason either. The electronic instrument panel only shows that the engine is malfunctioning, but it can’t find the cause of the malfunction. We are not professionals and we can’t understand those electronic instrument panels.” Xia Tian shook his head and said, “We are activating the emergency backup system now, but it’s not working. If we can’t solve the problem within five minutes, then we will have to parachute out.”
"I'll go out and take a look," Ling Yun said.
"You know how to repair airplanes?" Xia Tian was taken aback.
"I don't understand. I meant I wanted to go up on the plane and look outside," Ling Yun explained, realizing that Xia Tian had misunderstood him.
Everyone was stunned. Get on the plane? How? Did Ling Yun think he was Superman, able to keep pace with the plane at any time? Even for superhumans, this was unimaginable. However, Su Bingyan and Li Lingling were the weakest superhumans newly entered the world of superpowers, especially Su Bingyan, who essentially still had the mindset of an ordinary person. She had absolutely no concept of the power of a true superhuman.
"Get outside the plane? But the plane is running at full speed right now." Xia Tian was taken aback, but having been used to Ling Yun's mysteriousness, he wasn't too shocked, only a little worried. If it were him, it would be absolutely impossible to do it. In fact, not only him, but even a strong person at the colonel level might not be able to do it.
"It's alright. Have you forgotten how I got on the plane? I was the vampire I saw when I brushed past you, and then I chased after him for a long time before I caught up with him," Ling Yun explained.
The group's expressions froze, like statues of stone or clay. Catching up with a plane in mid-air by their own strength? That was unbelievable! The plane was flying with the wind at nearly a thousand kilometers per hour, hovering ten thousand meters above the ground. How could they possibly catch up under such conditions? The three women and Xia Tian stared at Ling Yun with incredulous eyes, as if they were seeing Iron Man.
Chen Jiaxuan suddenly remembered something, and her expression changed to one of sudden realization. She pointed at Ling Yun and exclaimed, "So, so that dark figure was you! No wonder it looked so strange, almost like a human!"
"What shadowy figure?" Ling Yun was completely baffled. But the others all seemed to understand, as if they had figured something out.
Chen Jiaxuan laughed and said, "When you appeared, I spotted you through the airplane window, but it was too fast and I couldn't see you clearly, so I exclaimed. They guessed and guessed, but they couldn't figure out who it was. I didn't expect it to be you."
Xia Tian looked at Ling Yun and said, "Ling Yun, don't tell me you've mastered the legendary flying technique, otherwise how could you catch up with the plane at an altitude of ten thousand meters?"
Ling Yun laughed and said, "If it's not flying, then how did you catch up with the plane? As for that vampire, I saw him hanging upside down on the wing of the plane the whole time. I guess he hid himself when the plane took off, and none of you noticed him."
"You really can fly!" Su Bingyan and Li Lingling didn't think much of it, since they knew very little about the world of superpowers. Xia Tian and Chen Jiaxuan, however, were both incredibly shocked. "My God, Ling Yun, how many secrets do you have? Being with you has made me numb." Chen Jiaxuan exaggeratedly patted her chest and said.
The plane suddenly began to shake violently, catching the passengers off guard. They started to sway and stagger in their single cabins, but fortunately, they were all superhumans and their feet were firmly planted on the ground, so no one fell. "The gravity is starting to double. I'll go out and take a look. Wait for my news," Ling Yun said, turning and leaving the cabin.
"Lingyun, be careful!" Lingling and Bingyan shouted in unison. After saying that, they realized that they had spoken at the same time, and their faces turned red. Chen Jiaxuan covered her mouth and laughed heartlessly: "This Lingyun is really lucky with women."
Summer pressed against the wall, which was already tilted at a 45-degree angle, and lamented, "Why is it that no beautiful woman cares about me?"
Ling Yun entered the cabin, opened the door, hooked the handle on the door, and with a nimble flip, reached the top of the plane. He lightly touched the door with his toes and closed it again.
As soon as he stepped outside, Ling Yun felt the supersonic wind and the icy current that could freeze a person instantly.
The air is no longer an invisible, intangible, and imperceptible gas, but has become a transparent wall that can never be penetrated. The moment it scrapes across the body, it transforms into countless of the sharpest daggers in the world. Any hard substance will instantly collapse under such powerful strangulation. If an ordinary person were outside the cabin, they would probably be tossed about by the gale in less than a second, or even freeze to death without falling.
But for Ling Yun, with his mastery of the extraordinary art of flight, these obstacles were nothing more than a drop in the ocean. His body remained as steady as a mountain in the raging wind, as he walked step by step towards the engine, his body swaying violently on the roof of the plane. Anyone who witnessed this scene would surely have been astonished and exclaimed: Superman Returns!
The small passenger plane was rapidly spinning in the air as it plummeted to the ground. The engines on both sides of the wings had essentially shut down, meaning the plane had lost power in the air and was only able to plummet rapidly downwards by inertia and its own weight. The crash would result in a catastrophic destruction of the aircraft and the loss of all life on board.
The pilot could determine that the engine was malfunctioning through the instruments in the cockpit, but he couldn't resolve it. The engine just suddenly stopped running for no reason. Unless he checked what was happening inside the engine, the plane was falling, and the pilot and others were already dizzy and disoriented inside the plane. It was already a miracle that they could maintain their balance.
