灵气崩坏：地球上最后一个修炼者

73

The people present exchanged glances, their expressions inscrutable. No one believed Hua Yunfei's claim. They all thought the man was merely bragging about knowing how to fly a plane, even though it was Chen Qianshu who found it somewhat exaggerated. Could one really learn to operate a medium-sized aircraft in just a few seconds without any training? Hua Yunfei knew no one would believe him but chose not to explain further. Instead, he continued to manipulate the sophisticated instruments in front of him, aiming to disengage the autopilot and return the plane to its original course. However, the autopilot's coding had clearly been tampered with by the previous individual, and he needed to crack it quickly.As the minutes ticked by, beads of sweat began to form on Hua Yunfei's forehead, his face growing increasingly pale. "Academician Hua, your condition..." Xiao Qing said with concern.Hua Yunfei did not respond. He retrieved his laptop from his bag, connected it to the main control system, and began to type rapidly with his fingers. Suddenly, Hua Yunfei spat out a mouthful of blood."Academician Hua!" Xiao Qing's expression changed, and she hurried to support him. The others were equally distressed. Their primary concern was not Hua Yunfei's health but rather who would control the plane if he collapsed."Man, it's been ten minutes already! Stop messing around!" "Yeah, hurry up! Our lives are in your hands!" Several people anxiously shouted. Among them, a burly man in black said coldly, "Damn it, stop pretending! Disengage the autopilot and fly us back, or I'll knock you out!""Smack!" Chen Qianshu slapped the man in black, sending him flying, then stepped forward to support Hua Yunfei. Turning to Xiao Qing, he asked, "Is he ill?""Yes! Academician Hua has ALS. He was supposed to take this flight to Yun Chuan to seek treatment from a renowned doctor, but he didn't expect this situation!" "Ugh... Academician Hua's current condition doesn't permit him to do this!" Xiao Qing's eyes were red with tears.Since a year ago, when she was assigned to care for Hua Yunfei's needs, she had held immense admiration for this man. He was incredibly intelligent, refined, and always kind, as if he never got angry. It was a tragedy that such a brilliant individual was afflicted with ALS at the age of nineteen. ALS is a debilitating disease that eventually leads to complete paralysis, loss of speech, inability to control bodily functions, loss of male functions, and ultimately death!"Xiao Qing, stop talking!" Hua Yunfei regained consciousness, wiped the blood from his mouth, and resumed typing on the computer. His fingers grew slower and slower, each movement increasingly laborious. Just a little more! Just a little more! Hua Yunfei's mind screamed in frustration as he struggled to lift his hand, but it wouldn't budge. He had considered asking others for help, but time was running out. Two more minutes passed. Hua Yunfei's entire body suddenly slumped in the pilot's seat, gasping for breath as he said, "I... I'm sorry! My condition is too severe now; I've lost all sensation and can't continue."At these words, the room erupted in chaos. Some faces went ashen, while others angrily protested, "What's going on? If you want to die, don't drag us down with you! Get up now!""Yes! You gave us hope, and now you say sorry? Is this how you repay us?""Get up, get up!!!" A woman rushed forward, attempting to grab Hua Yunfei, but was slapped aside by Chen Qianshu."Enough!" Chen Qianshu glared at the crowd, his voice icy. "Anyone who dares to complain further will meet their end prematurely!""Do you think you're entitled to blame Academician Hua? He has already exerted himself to the point of bleeding. What right do you have to condemn him?""Are you all beasts?" At these words, the commotion ceased abruptly. The group's faces turned pale, their lips purple, and their bodies trembled with fear. In the face of life and death, no one could remain indifferent."There are three minutes left," someone suddenly announced. Despair spread among the crowd as they voiced their hopelessness."No... I don't want to die!" "Why is this happening to me?" Some had even started to write their wills.Seeing this, Hua Yunfei felt deep guilt. If his condition permitted, he might have been able to save everyone, but unfortunately..."Academician Hua, rest if you're tired. You've never truly rested; your life has been too exhausting," Xiao Qing, her eyes red, covered Hua Yunfei with a blanket.Hua Yunfei slowly closed his eyes, his life flashing before him. As the son of a prominent martial arts family in the capital, he should have been enveloped in glory, but due to his naturally narrow and obscure meridians, he could not cultivate martial arts and was marginalized by his family. His parents had ventured into the vast sea to find the legendary Dragon Blood Herb to refine his meridians, but they perished in a maritime disaster.He was unwilling to accept his fate. He sought to defy destiny and find an alternative path to martial arts, to enable those like him to achieve martial prowess and prove that Hua Yunfei was never a failure. Yet, just as his research gained attention and he was at the height of his success, he was struck with ALS.Reflecting on it all, it was indeed a tremendous burden."Little sister, I am so sorry. If it weren't for my decision to bring you all back to Yun Chuan, this wouldn't have happened." Chen Qianxu's expression was filled with remorse."This is fate; I blame no one." Chen Yinuo tightly held her daughter's hand, her expression one of wistful resignation. She was not afraid of death, merely reluctant to part with Lin Feng. She and Lin Feng had endured countless hardships, only to finally be together...At that moment, Little Lianlian suddenly said in a daze, "Mommy... look outside, there's a birdman."Chen Yinuo was momentarily stunned, then looked up. Through the thick glass, she could vaguely see a figure floating in the air, but due to the darkness, it was impossible to discern who it was."Walking on air, a martial arts master!" Chen Qianxu's pupils contracted.Meanwhile, the other passengers in the cabin also noticed this scene, their faces, previously filled with despair, now showing a hint of terror."What's going on? How is someone flying outside?""Could it be a deity?""Oh, it must be a deity! A deity has come to save us! How wonderful!"......"Professor Hua, look outside quickly!" Xiao Qing exclaimed in shock.Hua Yunfei slowly opened his eyes, turning to look. Upon seeing the floating figure outside, his eyes showed a glimmer of surprise. Just then, the figure vanished.Immediately, the plane seemed to be gripped by some force and plummeted rapidly, falling within seconds into an open field."Boom boom boom!!" The plane collided with the ground, creating a thunderous roar. Smoke and sparks erupted instantly. The passengers were thrown into disarray by the intense inertia, their heads spinning, some even vomiting in distress.Then, "Bang!" The plane's door was kicked open from the outside, and Lin Feng burst in!He quickly scanned the chaotic scene, focusing on Chen Yinuo and her daughter. Seeing that they were unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief."Lin... Lin Feng!" Chen Yinuo, seeing him, was momentarily dazed."Daddy is here to save us!" Little Lianlian waved her tiny hands in joy.Lin Feng strode over, embracing Chen Yinuo and their daughter tightly, soothing them with a gentle voice: "It's all right, it's all right!""...." Chen Yinuo said nothing, only clung tightly to Lin Feng, her eyes shimmering with tears. This was her man! No matter what danger she faced, he would always come to her rescue!At that moment, Chen Qianxu, still in shock, said with uncertainty, "Lin Feng, you...""It's too chaotic here; let's talk when we get out of here!" Lin Feng interrupted Chen Qianxu, lifting their daughter, holding his wife's hand, and swiftly making his way through the frightened passengers, vanishing into the vast darkness.Chen Qianxu suppressed his inner turmoil and hurried to follow.......Soon after they left, seven formidable warriors surged from the distance. Leading them was an elderly man in traditional robes, his hair white and his face carrying an imposing presence—Long Aotian, one of the two chief enforcers of Jiangnan Province.Behind Long Aotian were the six enforcers of the six cities of Jiangnan, including Yun Zhongtian and Ye Tianlong."Chief Enforcer, this plane seems to be relatively undamaged?" Ye Tianlong surveyed the scene and spoke quietly. They had tracked the plane's location via radar and rushed to the scene, hoping to rescue survivors, but the plane appeared intact. Did this mean the people inside were still alive?"Could it be that someone controlled the plane at the critical moment and brought it down safely?" Yun Zhongtian speculated."Your incompetence is astounding! Instead of guessing blindly, why not check it out directly?" Ma Dongfeng of Jinghang City sneered."Ma Dongfeng, what do you mean? Clearly, something is amiss. Who knows if the Windwalker has set a trap inside or planted a bomb?" Ye Tianlong snorted."Timid as a mouse! Do you even deserve to be an enforcer?" Ma Dongfeng's disdain was evident, then he turned to Long Aotian with respect, saying, "Chief Enforcer, let me take the lead and investigate!""Be cautious of potential traps," Long Aotian advised."Yes!" Ma Dongfeng nodded respectfully.He then leaped to the plane and was about to open the cabin door when, at that moment, the plane's emergency exit was opened. A group of recovered passengers rushed out, with the black-clad burly man leading the way."How are you all still alive?" Ma Dongfeng's eyes narrowed."Damn it! How dare you speak like that? You're hoping we'd be dead, aren't you?" the black-clad man cursed."You..." A glint of murderous intent appeared in Ma Dongfeng's eyes."What? Am I wrong?" the burly man retorted disdainfully.Ma Dongfeng was about to respond when Long Aotian and the others arrived."Ah, we are from the Jinling Military District. We received word that this plane was hijacked by terrorists. How did you manage to make a safe landing here?" Long Aotian asked with a smile.The black-clad man immediately suppressed his arrogance, responding respectfully, "Ah, it turns out to be high-ranking officials from the military district! We were saved by a deity!""A deity?" Long Aotian's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity."Yes, indeed—a deity! A deity was flying outside, supporting the plane and ensuring a safe landing. Otherwise, we would all have perished," the black-clad man affirmed.Other passengers also chimed in, "We can confirm it!""Indeed, a deity appeared and saved us!""At that time, the deity was still flying outside!"
