73: Switch armor, second storm form

“It’s the Fire Finch Armor!”

“Did a monster really appear behind us and did a battle break out?!”

“What was with the turbulence just now?!”

“We’re not going to crash, are we?!”

Panic quickly spread through the plane.

During the battle, all the passengers in business class had fled to other cabins.

And other cabins were also affected by the battle.

At this moment, seeing Fire Finch emerge, they understood that Fire Finch had defeated the monster on the plane.

But the plane’s turbulence and the changes in the surrounding environment still caused them to uncontrollably start panicking.

“Can’t the cockpit door be opened?!”

“There’s no response inside, and it can’t be opened by any means!”

The flight attendants and stewardesses huddled frantically outside the cockpit door, completely treating Jia Gu Yi Yan as their backbone at this moment.

“Move aside.”

Jia Gu Yi Yan raised the Fire Finch Blade, its blade instantly turning crimson as it cut through the steel door of the cockpit.

Then, he walked into the cockpit.

Only then did he discover that the captain and co-pilot were both unconscious.

Looking out through the cockpit glass, the entire plane was uncontrollably heading towards the thunderstorm cloud ahead.

The monster hadn't caused Jia Gu Yi Yan too much trouble.

It turned out the real trouble was waiting here.

No wonder Mu Men arranged such a lightning-manipulating monster on the plane.

It was all for creating a thunderstorm cloud at a critical moment.

Even if he couldn't defeat the Armored Warrior, he could summon a thunderstorm cloud, making everyone on the plane, along with the entire plane,

be buried with the Summoner.

“You two figure out a way to wake them up.”

Jia Gu Yi Yan pulled the captain and co-pilot out of their seats.

Most passenger planes have an automatic cruising function.

He just needed to disperse the thunderstorm cloud in front of them.

As they got closer to the thunderstorm cloud, the plane’s turbulence became more intense.

Even if he had a way to disperse the thunderstorm cloud, he would have to leave the plane.

But how to leave?

At this altitude, the internal and external pressure difference made it impossible to open the cabin door.

Even if he used the armor's power to forcibly open the cabin door or break open the plane,

the plane depressurizing would quickly suck items and passengers out of the plane.

The plane might also disintegrate due to structural damage.

At this distance, even if the two pilots woke up, they wouldn't be able to avoid the thunderstorm cloud.

Open a small hole along the window, just big enough to squeeze through.

Once dealt with, return and weld the hole shut with metal.

There’s only one way now.

At this moment, the two pilots finally began to stir, starting to understand the current situation, and their faces turned pale as they looked at the thunderstorm cloud ahead.

“We can’t change the flight path anymore!”

It was the same as Jia Gu Yi Yan’s judgment.

“I’ll deal with the thunderstorm.”

“You maintain the plane’s stability.”

Jia Gu Yi Yan spoke quickly, then left the cockpit.

The crew calmed the passengers, had them return to their seats, fasten their seatbelts, and put on oxygen masks.

Then they isolated their cabin from the others, returned to their own seats, took protective measures, put on oxygen masks, and watched Jia Gu Yi Yan with a mixture of fear and hope.

Meanwhile, Jia Gu Yi Yan had already raised his blade and plunged it into the window.

The glass window was quickly cut in a circle, and a powerful suction came from the cut opening.

Loose items throughout the cabin began to surge out through the hole.

Jia Gu Yi Yan stabilized his body, then, amidst a chorus of gasps, he jumped out of the plane through the cut opening.

Disordered air currents buffeted Jia Gu Yi Yan.

He quickly stabilized his posture, looked at the huge plane beside him, then glanced at the thunderstorm ahead, and as he drew his card, he thought to himself,

‘Damn it, I’m never flying again!’

“Motorcycle F!”

Click!

As the Motorcycle was summoned, Jia Gu Yi Yan quickly drove the Motorcycle, charging towards the thunderstorm cloud.

Under the massive thunderstorm cloud, Jia Gu Yi Yan appeared as tiny as an ant before it.

Everyone on the plane watched Jia Gu Yi Yan speeding towards the thunderstorm cloud, all taking a deep breath.

“Torrential Rain E!”

Click!

As Torrential Rain E was inserted into the Summoner, Jia Gu Yi Yan quickly tried to use the power of Torrential Rain E to dissipate the thunderstorm in front of him.

But, it was no use!

The Fire Finch Armor had too low an adaptability with Torrential Rain E.

Boom!

With a roar, a bolt of lightning struck Jia Gu Yi Yan from amidst the clouds.

In an instant, electricity surged through Jia Gu Yi Yan’s body, causing him and the Motorcycle to spin and fall.

Enduring the numbness in his body, he quickly stabilized the Motorcycle and drew his card.

Since Fire Finch won't work.

“Armor of Light!”

Click!

“Combine!”

As a golden light flashed, the armor on Jia Gu Yi Yan’s entire body began to change.

The flames were quickly replaced by golden light, condensing into the form of the Armor of Light.

The Fire Finch Motorcycle beneath him also transformed into a glittering Light Motorcycle.

Feeling the power of the Armor of Light, Jia Gu Yi Yan stabilized his body and once again drew Torrential Rain E.

“Torrential Rain E!”

Click!

“Adaptability 50%!”

“armor upgrade!”

As Torrential Rain E was inserted into the Summoner, the power of the rainstorm surged through the entire armor.

Silver-blue patterns appeared on the Armor of Light.

Two blue shoulder guards appeared on the shoulders on both sides of the Armor of Light, then spread to the arms and chest.

At the center of the chest, electricity flashed, and a silver lightning accessory appeared.

At the waist, two blue plate armor pieces also appeared, covering the outer thighs downwards.

On the platinum-gold gauntlets, two lightning patterns also appeared.

Armor of Light · Rainstorm Form

Feeling the power of the Rainstorm Form, Jia Gu Yi Yan quickly circulated the Basic Breathing Technique.

Blue light and golden light shone simultaneously as Jia Gu Yi Yan charged directly into the thunderstorm.

Lightning constantly struck his body, and torrential rain poured down on him.

And he also used the power of Torrential Rain E to resist the power of the thunderstorm cloud.

Creating a safe zone behind him.

The people inside the passenger plane quickly reacted; the captain took over the controls, maneuvered the plane to adjust its direction, and followed closely behind Jia Gu Yi Yan.

Thus, one after another, like an arrow, they gradually pierced through the thunderstorm cloud.

The power of Torrential Rain E and the Armor of Light were not perfectly compatible.

The adaptability was only 50%.

Therefore, maintaining the Rainstorm Form consumed a great deal of stamina and placed a heavy burden on the body.

At this moment, Jia Gu Yi Yan already felt lightning beginning to stimulate his body.

Even his healing injuries began to worsen under the stimulation of the lightning.

However, fortunately, Jia Gu Yi Yan had cultivated the Mian Yu Technique, and although it was only at the second layer, his body had undergone a certain degree of transformation.

At this moment, he possessed a certain adaptability to the volatile power of Torrential Rain E.

Although his body was under immense strain, it was still within an acceptable range…

Jia Gu Yi Yan endured the power of the thunderstorm.

Meanwhile, the captain and crew behind him, and even all the passengers in the entire plane, held their breath, either nervously watching the figure in front of them or silently praying.

They had now entered the central area of the thunderstorm; the area around the passenger plane was pitch black, as if plunged into darkness.

Only flashes of electric light could be seen.
