Because Bai Cheng had expended a lot of energy earlier to resist the explosion, this ti, after activating the powered railcar, she didn't achieve the fivefold speed burst she had before.
Bai Cheng reduced the energy output, looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window and the rising mist. She estimated the speed was still about three tis the original railcar's speed.
This speed was completely sufficient; it wouldn't take long to return to the train.
However, they hadn't traveled far before a sudden change occurred.
The sea surface at the wake of the powered railcar suddenly surged, and then an extrely terrifying aura instantly erupted.
The waves burst apart, and the surrounding air seed to distort. Imdiately after, a blue figure leaped out. He quickly scanned the sea around him, and in an instant, he spotted Bai Cheng and the others in the speeding powered railcar.
At the sa ti, Bai Cheng also once again felt that familiar, heart-pounding power.
"It's a rfolk Clan Town Guardian Level!" She imdiately frowned, and simultaneously, the energy output from her palms instantly maximized.
The powered railcar's speed surged, once again increasing to over 700 kiloters per hour.
But the rfolk Clan Town Guardian did not choose to pursue; he rely showed a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.
The next second, he inverted the trident in his hand and then plunged it into the sea.
An invisible energy instantly spread outwards at an extrely fast speed, quickly sweeping past Bai Cheng's powered railcar, as well as the vast surrounding sea area with him at its center.
At this mont, the sea within the range seed to be controlled by this rfolk Clan mber. The surrounding waves instantly rose, forming a circular high wall.
But that wasn't all; the powered railcar, which should have been speeding, instantly suffered imnse pressure. All the equipnt on the railcar also malfunctioned, completely losing power.
"What kind of ability is this?" Bai Cheng was startled.
Looking at the towering wall of waves flowing backward before her, she had no doubt that even if the powered railcar hadn't lost power, crashing into it directly would likely only result in plunging into the sea.
Turning back to look at the rfolk Clan Town Guardian in the distance, at least several hundred ters separated them. He hadn't moved, yet the power he emanated alone firmly controlled the surrounding sea.
Now that she thought about it, Bai Cheng's initial idea of escaping a Town Guardian Level's pursuit by relying on speed was simply naive.
They seed to possess [N O V E L I G H T] an ability to manipulate terrain; this was definitely not just a racial talent of the rfolk Clan.
"This is troubleso..." Bai Cheng glanced at Zi Yuan in the back seat, finding that she was still in the midst of her breakthrough.
But it was too late for Bai Cheng to analyze the current situation or issue commands. The rfolk Clan Town Guardian in the distance instantly vanished, reappearing above everyone's powered railcar.
The next second, Lan Xiaoyu and Lü Duo instantly attacked. This ti, even Bai Cheng held nothing back.
The only thing they could do now was stall for ti.
Bang, bang, bang, bang! Bai Cheng, holding Destiny, quickly fired all four bullets, then decisively summoned her scythe and unleashed a charged attack.
At the sa ti, Lü Duo's charged arrow arrived in an instant, and Lan Xiaoyu also summoned her steel behemoth to bite at the incoming enemy.
Bai Cheng and her two employees, a total of three War General-level individuals, almost entirely used their strongest techniques, all attacking the rfolk Clan Town Guardian above.
The opponent, however, rely curled his lip in disdain: "re War Generals, how can you ants casually provoke a Town Guardian!"
Then, a transparent barrier appeared around him, which then violently expanded outwards, effortlessly shattering all incoming attacks into dust.
Forget about stalling the opponent; the reality was they couldn't even delay him for a second.
Seeing the attack about to land, Zi Yuan in the back seat instantly opened her eyes.
"Miss, let Zi Yuan handle it!"
Clang! The blade was unsheathed, and an endless glow of light erupted. The surrounding waves instantly dissipated, and the oppressive power that had been suppressing them completely vanished at this mont.
By the ti Bai Cheng regained her senses, Zi Yuan's figure in the back seat had completely disappeared.
She had appeared above the rfolk Clan Town Guardian at so unknown mont, then brought her blade down.
The surrounding space distorted at this mont. Below, Bai Cheng felt that all the elents in the entire space were surging towards that purple blade that had been swung.
The opponent clearly hadn't expected a Town Guardian to suddenly appear before him. The sa speed left him no ti to react, forcing him to rely on instinct to respond in a panic.
But just as he raised his trident, the blade light struck down even faster.
Pfft! The rfolk Clan Town Guardian's hard scales on his chest were cut open like tofu, and a deep, bone-visible wound instantly appeared from his left shoulder to his right abdon.
He tried to struggle, but Zi Yuan's second, follow-up strike completely severed his head.
【Your employee has successfully killed a Town Guardian Stage 3 rfolk Clan mber, obtaining a loot item: Blue Employee Card * 1...】
Looking at the ssage that suddenly popped up on the screen, Bai Cheng was also a bit surprised. Zi Yuan had just broken through, and her level was clearly still at Town Guardian Stage 1.
Yet, facing a Town Guardian Stage 3 enemy, she managed to instantly kill him so easily?
Besides the inherent difference in their aptitudes, Bai Cheng couldn't think of a second possibility.
After all, Zi Yuan had Immortal-grade aptitude, while that rfolk Clan Town Guardian was only Excellent-grade.
"It seems the gap in strength caused by differences in aptitude will beco more and more apparent as levels increase..." Bai Cheng drew this conclusion.
Fortunately, everything was thrilling but ultimately safe.
After killing this rfolk Clan Town Guardian, the wall of waves collapsed, and the powered railcar resud operation; everything returned to normal.
Bai Cheng imdiately said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zi Yuan. Let's hurry and leave."
After all, she wasn't sure if there would be more pursuers. The top priority was to return to the train and quickly rendezvous with Yu Nian and the others to continue their journey.
"Yes, Miss!" Zi Yuan's figure flickered and reappeared inside the railcar.
The vehicle once again began to speed across the sea, and along the way, Bai Cheng also learned from Zi Yuan about the abilities mastered by the Town Guardian Level.
Completely different from previous levels like War General or Elite, those levels could only be described as enhancing one's physical strength.
However, once one reached the Town Guardian Level, they would master an extrely crucial skill: suppressing surrounding elents, rendering all elents other than those they controlled ineffective.
Since this was the sea, the ho turf of the rfolk Clan, that Town Guardian Level had displayed such exaggerated power.
"So, for a War General-level to defeat a Town Guardian Level, rely relying on numbers is completely ineffective?" Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow. Reaching the Town Guardian Level undoubtedly brought about a qualitative change in strength.
"That's right, Miss. As long as the surrounding elents are suppressed, most War General-level individuals will lose a significant portion of their combat effectiveness," Zi Yuan explained.
Moreover, the physical qualities and abilities of any Town Guardian already overwhelmingly surpassed those of a War General, not to ntion having a counter skill.
"Understood. It seems I'll have to extensively acquire magic crystals after we return."
As the powered railcar traveled, imperceptibly, the outline of the train had already appeared before Bai Cheng's eyes.
And upon noticing Bai Cheng approaching, they imdiately began to slow down...
