Chapter 6: Forcing the Assassins Back

Suddenly, there was something going on in the Groover.

The silvery-white glow emitted by the six metal flakes behind the Rhythm Man gradually began to change, and in just a few seconds, the light emitted by the six metal flakes turned turquoise.

At the same time, the silvery-white light emitted by the ion thruster on the back of the Rhythm Rider also turned turquoise, and the ion wake ejected from the nozzle became wider and longer, greatly improving the Rhythm Rider's maneuverability.

In addition to the increase in mobility, the appearance of the Rhythm has also undergone some changes, and the Rhythm Person's whole body has begun to show some obvious gaps, and the gaps have begun to emit blue-green ionic crystals.

The two oval spheres attached to the Rhythmo's waist suddenly separated from the Rhythmowe's body, and the two oval spheres seemed to have independent power systems, and after separation, the orbs floated on either side of the Rhythmic.

The color of the sphere is still pure white, except that the tail of the sphere begins to eject a faint ionic wake, with the help of which the two spheres can levitate in the air.

From the eyes of ordinary people, the time for all this to happen is extremely short, before and after, not even five seconds, but Xuanji and Red Shadow are both battle clones, and they are also star pattern holders, and nearly five seconds is a long time for the two of them.

In the interval of five seconds, Red Shadow readjusted his posture and threw away the ion thruster backpack behind him, and also activated the star stripe state, holding the ion cutter that emitted a red arc of light and quickly flew towards Xuanji.

At this time, Red Shadow could only bite the bullet, even if the information was wrong, even if he didn't know what model of battle armor Xuanji was wearing, he had no room to turn back, because this was the order he got to assassinate Xuanji and Bai Fan at all costs.

Xuanji hovered in the air and did not move, and a aiming crosshair suddenly appeared in her retina, and at the same time, the oval sphere that was leaning on the left side of Xuanji's body also underwent some changes.

The center of the sphere slowly unfolded, revealing a ring of metal, and in an instant, the static electricity of the high-energy polymerization stroke flickered around the ring, and the ring was aimed in the direction of the red shadow, and it was all in less than a second.

Xuanji stood in the air and watched the red shadow get closer and closer, and the ion cutter that emitted a bright red arc of light was already close at hand.

'Floaters: Ion Liberation. A message appeared on Xuanji's retina.

She can directly control the two oval objects suspended outside her body through the alayya consciousness system, which was completely impossible before, all thanks to the neural linkage system.

The neural linkage system is a newly developed combat system developed by the military, which allows the user to directly control the independent object wirelessly, and this neural linkage will allow the user to control the independent object to achieve an immersive effect, so as to raise the combat effectiveness of the independent unit to a higher level again.

In addition, another important function of the neural linkage system, as the name suggests, the original intention of the neural linkage system is neural perception, in the time of the catastrophe, the star company also did research on this technology, and after finding that the cost and benefit do not match, it also gave up the development of this technology.

This neural perception function allows the user to have better control of the combat armor controlled, and can also obtain neural sensation from various sensors attached to the combat armor, so that the overall output control becomes more delicate.

Neural perception can be obtained from combat armor, and this technology can greatly improve the user's combat ability, although this technology has extremely attractive advantages, but it is very expensive.

Even though the military has invested a huge amount of R&D and manufacturing costs, there are only two complete neural linkage systems, one is loaded on the rhythm worn by Xuanji, and the other set is not clear where Xuanji is, because the secrecy level of the neural linkage system is extremely high, and it can be said that there are only a few people who know about its existence.

After receiving the command, the oval sphere instantly brightened up the annular metal circle, and a giant pillar of blue-green light burst out from the annular circle, and the target was the red shadow that was running and close at hand.

Boom, the light pierced the sky and disappeared into the night, and the high-energy ion beam did not hit the red shadow.

At the last moment, Red Shadow pulled the output of the ion thruster to the maximum, and more importantly, he noticed a change in the oval sphere, and he noticed a brief forward movement before the annular metal ring fired.

For a moment, the static electricity that flickered around the ring metal circle suddenly disappeared, and it immediately occurred to him that all of this was most likely a precursor to the completion of the charge of the ion ray weapon.

"Didn't you hit?" Xuanji muttered to herself.

Then, Xuanji swung her spear of light and stabbed at Red Shadow.

After activating the star-striped state, the color of the light spear in Xuanji's hand also changed from silver-white to turquoise, and a green light streaked through, and the two ion cutters interlaced each other again.

Xuanji's speed is very fast, but both of them are star pattern holders, and their reaction speeds are also very different, and in this kind of heads-up, it is difficult for the two to distinguish the winner in an instant.

Red Shadow sensed Xuanji's maneuvering speed again, and he noticed that Xuanji's speed was a little abnormal, so Red Shadow fired a smoke bomb from the magazine.

As soon as the smoke bomb broke away from the magazine between Red Shadow's arms, it detonated, and a thick fog spread around Red Shadow.

Suddenly, the dense smoke and dust directly blocked Xuanji's line of sight, making Xuanji unable to locate the red shadow.

However, this has no effect on Xuanji, even if she can't see the enemy, she has a way to determine the enemy's coordinates.

'Rhythm-Thermal System activated. A message appeared on Xuanji's retina, and then the normal optical effect on the display in the helmet suddenly dimmed, protruding a deep red somewhere.

This crimson is where the red shadow is, but Xuanji noticed that the position of the red shadow seems to be a little wrong, he seems to be flying down quickly, and the target of the flight seems to be the white sail.

Red Shadow is very smart, after a few fights, he immediately found out that he may not be Xuanji's opponent, if the battle continues, he may be the one who dies, the gap in mobility is very obvious, since he can't kill Xuanji, then he can also go and kill another person, Bai Fan.

The red shadow flew out of the fog, dragging a long ionic wake to accelerate downward, he had already located the ground through the thermal function, and in an instant, he found the coordinates of the white sail.

A deflagration bomb was fired from the magazine casually, if it was just an unarmed ordinary person, even if this deflagration bomb did not hit him, just exploded around him, and the fragments from the explosion of the deflagration bomb would hit Bai Fan, that is, as long as the deflagration bomb exploded around him, he would die.

Bai Fan had already stood on the ground and witnessed the battle between the two, and after seeing the two Star Stripe Holders fighting, he was also dumbfounded, and at this time, a deflagration bomb was flying towards him quickly, but as an ordinary person, his reaction speed was not fast enough, and he couldn't even see the trajectory of this deflagration bomb.

In an instant, a green light and shadow burst out from the mist, breaking through the fog and flying down quickly.

It was Xuanji who flew out, she saw the deflagration bomb that the red shadow fired at Bai Fan, she had to go all out to intercept this deflagration bomb, if Bai Fan died, then it was all over.

A message 'Rhythm: Ion thruster power increased to 270%' appeared on Xuanji's retina.

A brief sonic boom, only for a moment, maybe half a second, maybe shorter than half a second, Xuanji caught up with the deflagration bomb that was rushing towards Bai Fan and crashed into it.

Boom, the deflagration bomb hit Xuanji's body, exploding very close to Bai Fan, and then, Xuanji fell to the ground, only ten meters away from Bai Fan.

The smoke cleared, and Xuanji gradually emerged from the smoke.

"You? Are you okay? Bai Fan shouted to Xuanji in the distance.

"It doesn't matter if I'm okay or not, as long as you're okay." Xuanji looked at the sky and said solemnly, but the voice was too quiet, and she wasn't sure if Bai Fan had heard her voice.

"Whoever you are, you've succeeded in provoking me, and I'm not going to leave you with a whole corpse." Xuanji rose into the air again and muttered to herself.

In addition to the terrifying hideousness of Xuanji's face, there was also a hint of anger, if it wasn't for the fast enough maneuver of the Rhythmian, I'm afraid this would have been over.

The red shadow in the sky was not good, Xuanji's mobility ability once again refreshed his cognition, he could catch up with the speed of the detonation bomb, and it was the first time he had seen such a terrifying combat armor with such a terrifying mobility ability.

Thinking of this, he knew that he couldn't complete this task, he couldn't break through Xuanji, so he couldn't hurt Xuanji in the slightest, because of the mobility of this combat armor, he couldn't hurt Bai Fan in the slightest, thinking of this, he gave up.

The red shadow flew violently into the distance, very fast, and under the cover of the mist, the red shadow began to flee, gradually moving away.

Xuanji got up and chased for a while, she really wanted to kill this red shadow, but she knew that she couldn't leave for too long, and she couldn't leave too far, if there was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain at this time, then Bai Fan would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Xuanji stopped, and did not chase after him, compared to killing the red shadow, Bai Fan's life is the most important.

She just hovered in the air and watched the red shadow fade away and disappear from sight.

Red Shadow is just an assassin, a killer, an assassination tool, not an important existence, thinking of this, Xuanji suddenly came back to his senses and flew down.

After this battle, Xuanji knows more inside information, so she must leave this place of right and wrong with Bai Fan, she doesn't know who will kill him next.
