Hearing the mocking laughter, Luo Hong's face instantly turned ashen. No longer able to endure it, he exchanged a glance with You Yi, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
Immediately, they led the other Flying Ability Users to launch an attack on Jiang Ming and his group. In an instant, the sky was filled with flashes of various Psychic Abilities.
Jiang Ming waved his hands, and a powerful chill surged from within him, sending ice shards shooting like swords towards the airborne enemies. His gaze was cold; though anger simmered within him, he remained calm, knowing that facing such formidable foes left no room for carelessness.
Jiang Wenyu quickly unleashed his plant-based Psychic Ability. Vines erupted from the ground like agile whips, striking upwards. Some of the vines bore sharp thorns, attempting to block the approach of the Flying Ability Users.
Drui Feng let out a loud roar as lightning crackled around him. Bolts of electricity shot forth like silver serpents towards the enemy, filling the air with a burnt smell.
A fierce battle erupted in an instant. The collision of Psychic Abilities illuminated the entire sky, with the sounds of explosions and shouts intertwining in a deadly contest.
Zhu Ye Qing nervously glanced at the tense standoff between both sides, fear mingling with a desire for freedom in his eyes. He cautiously raised his hand to signal and spoke with a slight tremor in his voice, "Can you help us break free from this Psychic Ability control? We can fight alongside you."
His gaze shifted between Luo Hong and Jiang Ming, hoping for a positive response.
Yan Qing frowned, casting a sharp look at them, his tone icy. "You are still prisoners; know your place and stay aside. Don’t think about pulling any tricks here; we don’t have time for your little schemes."
Yan Qing’s eyes were filled with vigilance; at such a critical moment, he did not want any complications.
Seeing Zhu Ye Qing and the others controlled behind them, Luo Hong burst into laughter as if he had heard the greatest joke. His laughter echoed through the valley, brimming with arrogance. He addressed Zhu Ye Qing and his companions, "Why don’t you come with us? After all, I’m here to rescue you. Stick with me, and I promise you’ll have a better life than following these guys." His gaze was enticing, like a snake flicking its tongue, trying to lure them in.
Having overheard Luo Hong and Jiang Ming's conversation earlier, Zhu Ye Qing and his companions had already guessed that this man might be Hong Yun, the sworn enemy of the rumored Mountain God.
In the rumors, Hong Yun is the number one criminal on the Pacific Ability Federation's list of the four most wanted. Unlike other criminals, as a Flying Esper, he possesses an incredibly powerful Wind Ability. He can effortlessly lift a patch of flat ground into the sky and maintain his mysterious Sky Castle with his Psychic Ability.
In the legends of the Ability World, he is like a dark legend, filled with mystery and evil. To their surprise, they were actually able to see the master of the rumored Sky Castle today.
Initially, it was thought that Zhu Ye Qing and the others would turn against Luo Hong and join his side. However, Lin Zhuang stepped forward, firmly protecting Zhu Ye Qing and Peter behind him.
His gaze was as steadfast as a rock as he shook his head vigorously. "Although we may not be as powerful as you, we have a righteous home in our hearts. We disdain to associate with someone like you. We have made mistakes, but we still have the chance to acknowledge them and are willing to take responsibility for our actions. However, if we join you, we will fall into an abyss from which there is no return."
Lin Zhuang's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable strength; each word seemed to be squeezed out from between clenched teeth, showcasing his determination.
This declaration caused Zhu Ye Qing and Peter beside him to widen their eyes in surprise, as if they were seeing Lin Zhuang for the first time, looking at him with unfamiliar gazes.
In their impression, although Lin Zhuang had always been their elder brother, he had never expressed his thoughts so seriously and resolutely before. Today's Lin Zhuang made them see him in a new light, as if they could glimpse the shining light deep within his soul.
Lin Zhuang showed no signs of retreat; he fixed his gaze on Luo Hong as if declaring war against this evil Ability User. Even if he was as insignificant as an ant, he would never bow down to darkness.
"Well done, Lin Zhuang! I will apply to headquarters for a sentence reduction for you," Drui Feng said with a proud expression, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with admiration. He glanced sideways at Lin Zhuang and the others with a look that seemed to say, "You made the right choice this time." After speaking, he strode forward with an air of undeniable authority.
Drui Feng casually swept his fingers over the Psychic Ability control circles on their necks. With a soft beep, the fingerprint unlock was successful. The Psychic Ability circles flickered a few times before falling to the ground with a crisp sound.
"Why is my neck so empty?" Peter said in surprise as he touched his neck and looked at Yan Qing and the others. His eyes reflected both joy at regaining freedom and confusion over this sudden change.
Yan Qing nodded, her gaze now filled with trust. "Since you want to help us, let's get started. Don't hold us back; this battle concerns everyone's lives."
Yan Qing's voice was steady and powerful, instilling a sense of reassurance among the group.
The seven of them quickly sprang into action, forming a circle and standing back to back, their eyes filled with vigilance and determination. They looked up at the sky, where a dark mass of Flying Espers loomed overhead like a suffocating cloud, exuding an oppressive aura.
Luo Hong and You Yi's faces gradually turned ashen. Luo Hong gritted his teeth and shouted, "You foolish creatures, I'll make you understand that crossing me will lead to nothing but disaster." His eyes burned with a fiery rage, as if he intended to consume everyone below him.
With that, Luo Hong began to gather a blade of wind in his hand. Initially just a small swirl of air, it rapidly spun under the influence of his Psychic Ability, drawing in the surrounding air with a howling sound.
The wind blade grew larger in midair, resembling a hungry beast devouring everything around it. By the time it reached them, it had transformed into a small storm over three meters high, its powerful suction sweeping away dust and fallen leaves in front of it.
Dust swirled through the air, and leaves were torn to shreds within the storm, creating a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse.
Seeing this, Jiang Ming's expression sharpened. He quickly waved his hands while chanting incantations. In an instant, an intense chill surged from within him, coalescing into a thick ice wall right before the group.
The ice wall was crystal clear and radiated waves of coldness, firmly securing the seven within its protective embrace.
