Chapter 367: Ambush

On the suburban highway, a car that had broken down on the roadside restarted and drove away quickly with the roar of the engine.

In the car, the red-haired woman in the main driver's seat twisted her body, and a ring of blue ripples flowed through her body from top to bottom. When it was finished, she also changed from a human form to a blue monster covered with strange patterned scales.

Mystique glanced at Scott, who was unconscious in the passenger seat with her dark yellow pupils. Her eyes were cold. This mission was easier than she had imagined. The future successor of the X-Men was so depressed because of the death of a companion. He had not walked out for three years. Charles' vision was really getting worse and worse.

With a mocking smile on her lips, she retracted her gaze and pressed the sole of her foot on the accelerator lightly. The speed of the vehicle increased again. Soon, as the distance continued to increase, the castle faintly visible in the rearview mirror was gradually obscured by the rising ground.

Leaving the academy was only the first step. She would not be able to complete the mission until she successfully brought the target to the vicinity of Lake Alkali. If she were the person she used to be, she would never use the lives of her compatriots to win, but perhaps because of the blood on her hands, she has become more and more "careless".

It is difficult to judge whether this change is good or bad, but just like the familiar castle that has completely disappeared in the rearview mirror, the smoke and dust are rolling on the road, and she is driving far away in the smoke and dust and has no intention of turning back.

Her eyes fell on the rearview mirror and paused for a moment. Mystique was about to shift her sight, but a sudden red color attracted her attention. Her pupils suddenly shrank, and she quickly looked sideways, only to see the gurgling sticky blood oozing out of Scott's body, and soon condensed on the surface of the body into a ferocious and majestic scarlet heavy armor.

"Kacha!"

The last evil ghost mask was formed and interlocked, covering Scott's whole body. Then the heavy armor on the passenger seat turned its head strangely. Two figures, one blue and one red, looked at each other in the narrow compartment. The eyes of the evil ghost mask were bloody.

"Damn it!"

"Bang!!"

Outside, the speeding car shook violently, as if a huge force hit the front of the car body out of thin air, causing it to lose balance directly while speeding. After rolling awkwardly for several rounds, it stopped at the edge of the road in an overturned posture, and a large piece of parts and debris fell along the way.

The overturned vehicle shook again, and the door on the side was shattered by the force. A blue figure flew out from the inside of the car body and fell heavily on the lawn more than ten meters away from the car body.

"Cough!"

Dark blood spurted out of the mouth, dripping on the green grass leaves, leaving blood stains, showing that even with the relatively soft grass to dissipate the force, the person who fell was still seriously injured by this heavy blow.

The chest and abdomen were like burning fire, and the severe pain caused by each breath caused the cheeks to twitch uncontrollably. Without bothering to check the ribs that seemed to be directly broken, the demon girl struggled to get up from the ground. In her frightened sight, a scarlet heavy armor of about two meters tore open the car body and walked out of the car wreckage calmly.

"What is this..."

The strong smell of blood overflowed, and a pair of blood eyes on the mask stared coldly at the blue figure not far away. The blood in the hand armor surged and flowed, and soon condensed into a scarlet long sword. Except that there were no dense cracks spreading on the blade, its image was almost the same as the magic sword Qianren.

………

“Hey, the Red Prison has been aroused.”

“Sure enough, there is a force that will secretly attack Scott, but I don’t know whether it is the human side or the mutant side.”

Inside the brain wave amplification room at X Academy.

Xu Yue, with his eyes slightly closed, opened his eyes, stood up and looked far away in the direction of the fire light point sensed in his mind. Although his sight was blocked by the metal wall of the amplification room, he seemed to really see the Red Prison armor that completely wrapped Scott and suddenly launched an attack in front of the enemy. That scene was probably quite a surprise.

Being familiar with the plot is not just his advantage. Scott is related to Jean’s resurrection and Professor X’s death. He is a key node-like figure. When he realizes that the phoenix that should have been born has not appeared, he will definitely attract the attention of some people with ulterior motives. This is inevitable.

Therefore, Xu Yue left the fire points for positioning and the red prison armor for protection on him, in order to prevent him from going to Lake Alkali to die, either actively or passively. As long as the huge energy in Scott's body is not swallowed by the Phoenix, even if Qin is awakened by another force, his power will not expand to the point where he cannot resist in a short time.

And now it seems that this precautionary preparation has really played its due role. As soon as the professor left the academy, these coveted mice jumped out impatiently.

"Well, it's really itchy to do it after not doing it for too long. It's good to warm up before the battle."

The neck made a series of crisp sounds when it turned. Xu Yue did not delay any longer, but walked quickly towards the door of the amplification room. Soon, this spherical space returned to the empty and silent state again.

A few minutes later, a beam of golden red fire in the academy shot up into the sky, and after a roar that resounded through the sky, it broke through the air and disappeared in an instant.

In the castle below, many students were attracted by the roar in the sky. They poked their heads out of the windows and looked up. At the castle gate, Storm, with an anxious look on her face, ran out quickly. A few seconds ago, she was teaching students in the classroom, and suddenly Xu Yue's telepathic voice rang in her mind.

"Ororo, Scott has been captured. I'll bring him back. You keep an eye on the academy. Also, remember to notify the professor."

Looking at the fire line going away in the sky, Storm's eyes turned white, and the wind whistled around her. She was just about to control the wind and follow it, but she turned around and looked at the little heads sticking out of the window behind her, and took a deep breath to disperse the wind force gathered around her.

The pure white pupils returned to normal. After calming down, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the number immediately. Soon, a familiar gentle voice sounded on the other side.

"What's wrong, Ororo?"

"Professor, something happened in the academy..."

………

"Trample, tramp..."

On the suburban highway, the sound of calm footsteps slowly spread, but it brought a heavy pressure that made people breathe uncomfortably.

The scarlet blade effortlessly cut a straight groove on the stone road, and the man holding the knife was a fierce heavy armor who was moving forward slowly.

Opposite the heavy armor, Mystique, with blood still oozing from the corner of her mouth, fell down on the lawn, looking extremely ugly. Facing the approaching Red Prison in front of her, she did not want to escape, but the severe pain from her chest and abdomen made it difficult for her to get up for a while.

On the other hand, she could feel a cold murderous intent locking her firmly. As long as she dared to act rashly, she would definitely be greeted by the most deadly attack.

Mystique is always good at infiltration, assassination, intelligence gathering, etc. Although her ability to fight head-on is not weak, it is definitely not enough compared to the armored monster in front of her. Just now, she was kicked away and several ribs were broken after only a few moves in the carriage. She has clearly realized the difference in combat power between them.

Fighting hard can only mean death. Now the one controlling this armor is definitely not Scott who was knocked unconscious by him, but something more weird.

"Wait! I..."

As soon as the begging for mercy began, the whistling hurricane in front of him blew away all the remaining words. Chiyu, who was not far away, suddenly rushed forward, and his figure almost left a bloody afterimage. He instantly appeared in front of Mystique, and then the long sword in his hand broke through the air wave and chopped it down in the air.

"Dang~"

It was not the expected separation of flesh and blood, but a sharp metal collision sound resounding all over the field. When the long sword was about to hit the target, an arm wearing heavy arm armor quietly emerged and steadily blocked the fatal blow.

The turbulent air waves caused by the collision of the two expanded outward layer by layer, causing all the grass leaves around to fall down, and in the center of the air wave was Mystique Riven with trembling pupils. If the arm armor was slower by a second, she might have turned from a whole into two pieces of debris cut from the middle.

"Tsk, luckily the leader let us follow you secretly, Ms. Riven, you owe us two lives this time."

The voice of Wukong teasing came from above, and then the left arm that blocked the long sword swung away the blade, and at the same time, the other right hand, which was also wearing arm armor, reached down, grabbed Mystique's shoulder and swung it straight back.

The blue figure was thrown far away without resistance. After doing all this, Wukong, who was in a half-squatting state, stood up and looked at the scarlet armor in front of him that was even taller than him. His eyebrows raised slightly.

"Puppet? Equipment? Or summoned? Interesting, this strength attribute is at least 50 points, come on, continue."

Facing the enemy's provocation, the blood-red eyes on the demon's mask flashed red, and the grass under the feet of Chiyu collapsed. It directly collided with Wukong in front of it, and the long sword in its hand broke through the air again, with the blade pointing directly at the target's waist.

There was a bloody wind blowing in front of him, and a sharp whistle on the left. The two murderous intentions came almost at the same time, but Wukong had no intention of dodging. He smiled slightly, and his open right hand quickly closed. The air in his palm was squeezed by the huge force, making an air explosion sound like firecrackers. Then he retracted his right arm to accumulate power, and the white energy gathered at the front of the arm armor, and then blasted out fiercely.

"Destruction!"

"Boom!!"

The light ball at the front of the arm armor exploded instantly when the right fist was swung out. The huge amount of mental power wrapped in the powerful force carried on the fist tip turned into a thick white light column, which just collided with the scarlet armor coming from the front.

The stalemate did not last too long. Chiyu, who took the lead in the collision, failed to get close to the target and was pressed back by the surging white light column.

The grass below was plowed with large scorch marks by the light column, and the air was filled with the unique smell of burning grass and trees after burning at high temperatures. In the distance, Chiyu was still pushed by the condensed light column and kept flying backwards. After flying more than ten meters, it slightly adapted to the impact force and inserted its feet deeply into the ground. While resisting the loss of force, the long knife held tightly in its right hand suddenly lifted up.

The condensed blood-red knife marks flashed in the light column. Under the blade, the white light column was neatly cut from the center, turning into countless light spots that disintegrated to the left and right sides.

The light column dissipated, and the scarred scarlet armor behind it revealed its figure, especially the arm armor on the left side used to block the impact from the front. The patterned armor plates on it had been worn away for the most part, and the beast face shoulder swallow on the shoulder was also partially damaged.

But even though it looked badly injured, it was actually still a long way from breaking through Chiyu's defense, at least not enough to hurt Scott who was completely wrapped in the armor.

The next second, blood surged on Chiyu's body, and sticky blood-colored liquid seeped out from the inside. As it surged and condensed, the damage on the armor was quickly repaired one after another.

Opposite the Red Prison, the relaxed look on Wukong's face had completely disappeared. Looking at the armor that was starting to repair itself in the distance, and the scarlet long sword held by the opponent, he felt more and more uneasy.

Although the Destruction Fist just now was not his killer move, it was his full-strength attack in his normal state. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to hit the opponent hard with a punch, but he didn't expect it to be a painless ending.

'This level of defense, and the sword just now, is close to the master of swordsmanship. It's not easy to deal with a high-level summoned creature of the technique. '

Under the leadership of the Hundred Weapons Master, while Xu Yue was improving the level of the halberd technique, other combined blade weapons could also gain a lot of benefits from the resonance of the technique experience, and the most special one was the Red Prison Armor.

Although it was not within the scope of the Hundred Weapons Technique, as the existence with the highest intelligence among the combined blade equipment, it learned to form a connection by holding other combined blade weapons in the combined blade space without a teacher, so as to learn the technical knowledge contained in the opponent.

After a long period of connection and learning, except for the Fang Tian Hua Ji with Panlong weapon soul that it dared not touch, it has a good attainment in the other three techniques of bow, sword and shield, especially the long sword that it has often touched in the ten years of Xuanwu country, and its sword skills are very close to the boundary of master-level skills.

And master-level skills are definitely the top abilities among all second-level contractors. Anyway, even for Wukong who mainly fights in close combat, his skills are still a step away from the master level.

His sight paused for a moment on the familiar scarlet long sword, and Wukong's face was solemn. The long sword itself has a considerable advantage in melee combat. Even if he has the assistance of arm armor, he may suffer a loss, so he must close the distance and close combat to weaken the sword skills to the greatest extent. A long sword without space for display is worse than a dagger.

Thinking of this, he bent his legs slightly, then crushed the grass debris in the sky and turned into a black shadow to rush towards Chiyu. The distance of more than ten meters was fleeting under the charge, and in the blink of an eye, Wukong arrived in front of the armor.

A faint white light appeared on the fists wrapped in the arm armor. When Wukong was about to get close, the long sword slash that Wukong expected did not come, but two red lasers came towards him.

Facing the enemy's active charge, Chiyu's head deflected and locked, and the blood light in the eyes of the mask dissipated, revealing the eyes of the internal laser eyes that were forcibly opened by several tiny tentacles.

"Boom!!"

Two laser beams that were as thick as the previous white beams of light poured out from the eyes, and Wukong, who had just approached, was directly knocked away at a faster speed. What was more deadly than the white beam of light was that the laser eyes' lasers were endless.

"Damn, there's actually this trick, trickery, stop slacking off, help quickly!"

"Tsk, Wukong, didn't you tell me not to interfere?"
