Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 53 Going to Death

On a dark and stormy night, He Feiquan sat in the car with his eyes closed, trying to rest. Yu An, who was acting as the driver, didn't dare to breathe too heavily, for fear of disturbing the level five expert.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Liang Wufan pouted, made a few faces at Yu An, stuck out his tongue, and gestured with his hand on his neck.

He meant that he could take down Fire Butterfly tonight.

Yu An took a deep breath. This was the eighth day since they started capturing the Fire Butterfly. They thought it would be easy for a level 5 ability expert to capture a level 4 ability user, but the Fire Butterfly didn't even show its face.

Two days ago, they finally found a clue and tracked them down. Thanks to the unique marking ability of the wind element, the other party can't escape this time!

Most of the superhumans in the base had other missions to attend to, or did not have the strength to face off against a level four superhuman. Therefore, from the beginning, the Haishi base only arranged two teams to support He Feiquan. One team was Zhao Junxing's team, and the other team was Liang Wufan and Yu An.

Zhao Junxing and his team were all in one car. Liang Wufan was responsible for driving He Feiquan, and Yu An was the recorder for this mission. The process of this mission would be entered into the archives later.

"Found it. Her elemental energy can be found in both Jinshui District and Chuiguang Lake in the suburbs." After He Feiquan finished speaking, he used the wind to transmit his exploration results, telling Zhao Junxing and his group to go to Jinshui District to investigate first. If they found her, they should send him a message; if not, they should hurry to Chuiguang Lake.

"Drive faster, lest she get away." He Feiquan urged, and also gave a notification. He instructed Yu An: "Call the traffic management bureau and have the roads closed at night."

Then, He Feiquan, sitting in the back seat, patted Yu An on the shoulder and said, "Hold on tight."

As soon as he finished speaking, the already extremely fast modified vehicle at the base increased its speed even further. A howling wind blew up, propelling the modified vehicle toward Chuiguang Lake, shortening what would have been a two-hour journey to half an hour.

Liang Wufan grabbed the railing inside the car with one hand and covered his mouth with the other to prevent himself from vomiting in the car and embarrassing himself in front of the Level 5 boss.

Yu An was completely focused on controlling the steering wheel; even a small movement at high speed could lead to a fatal crash for all three of them.

Yu An knew that even if something went wrong, He Feiquan would save them, but he didn't want to miss the scene of catching the Fire Butterfly.

As soon as the modified car stopped, Liang Wufan rushed out of the car and squatted by the roadside, retching incessantly: "yue..."

"Here it is." Feng Yuanshu brought the news to Fei Quan. He twirled a wisp of wind between his fingertips and looked sharply at the villa area in the distance.

It's true that those involved are often blinded by their own perspective; the Fire Butterfly was actually hiding on the hill behind the Shangyuan Villa where the murder occurred years ago.

A massive fire killed and injured countless people. Instead of rebuilding, Shangyuan Villa was converted into a lake and connected to Chuiguang Lake. The government expanded the area of ​​Chuiguang Lake, but due to financial constraints, the back mountain of Shangyuan Villa was left untouched.

If Feng Xuedie knew He Feiquan's thoughts, she would definitely refute him seriously. She had been hiding in Chu Deng's underground garage, but who knew what was wrong with the school in Hai City? They didn't let Chu Deng come home for a week. Unable to wait any longer, Feng Xuedie had no choice but to go to Hai City No. 1 High School to find Chu Deng.

She carefully concealed her tracks when she went there, but deliberately revealed some of her whereabouts when she returned, attracting people from the Hai City Superpower Base to come looking for her.

Feng Xuedie chose Shangyuan Villa because, if it weren't for Chu Deng, she would have died in that villa long ago.

The culprit, Ying Chengji, has already been killed by her. This time, let's end it all here. She's had enough of living.

Thinking this, Feng Xuedie curled her lips into a smile, filled with an indescribable anticipation for the upcoming battle.

Being able to fight against China's top experts was a testament to her years of painstaking cultivation and unconventional methods. Even as she died under the sanction of justice, Feng Xuedie's undying conscience seemed to cheer for her impending fate.

The battle erupted the moment He Feiquan saw Feng Xuedie.

When He Feiquan arrived at the back of Shangyuan Villa, he saw a beautiful woman sitting on the roof of an abandoned warehouse. Time had not forgotten her; on the contrary, it had been particularly kind to this flamboyant fire butterfly. Eight years had not tainted her with the signs of aging.

"You're living a carefree life abroad, why come back to China to die?" He Feiquan said.

Back then, some insiders among the superpowered individuals deeply resented the Fire Butterfly case, feeling that Feng Xuedie was ungrateful. The Special Affairs Office saved her, but she betrayed the base and went around killing and setting fires, injuring countless people. As a result, the director of the Shanghai Special Affairs Office was dismissed that year, and Hua Zhongli has only been a fire brigade leader for many years, far less valued than Zhao Junxing of Team One and Yang Guizhou of Team Two, which can be seen from the number of times she has been sent out for training.

However, some people believe that Feng Xuedie had a tragic past, and the people she killed were not entirely innocent after investigation. Although her methods were a bit extreme, with proper guidance, she has the potential to become one of China's top combat forces in the future.

He Feiquan was somewhere in between. He believed that those who died at Feng Xuedie's hands were not innocent, but Feng Xuedie had no right to judge others. It was fine if they ran away to the United States, since there was no way to pursue them in China. He thought that if they didn't return to China, they could live more freely abroad.

"Enough with the nonsense, you don't actually like me, do you?" Feng Xuedie tossed her hair and smiled charmingly at the top-tier level 5 combatant from China who was a year younger than her.

"..." He Feiquan choked. He had actually been teased. Just as he was about to retort, he was knocked back by the sudden flames in front of him.

"If you want to fight, then fight!" Feng Xuedie knew the insurmountable gap between level four and level five, so she decided to strike first.

In the night sky, the woman, like a black cat in the darkness, leaped high from the rooftop, her long legs slashing down and slamming down on He Feiquan's head. Flames erupted from her calves, like a flaming scimitar striking He Feiquan.

A bluish-white wind shield appeared in the air, protecting He Feiquan from the scorching flames. Feng Xuedie's flames failed to break through his shield.

In the blink of an eye, He Feiquan switched from defense to offense, and an invisible wind blade slashed unstoppably towards Feng Xuedie.

Feng Xuedie braced herself on one foot and turned around, carving a path through countless wind blades. She spun like a fire dragon, negating the damage from the wind blades and breaking out of the encirclement of the invisible blades. However, some of the blades that were missed still left wounds on her body.

The two fought briefly, yet every move was incredibly swift and decisive, incorporating dazzling elemental power that captivated the onlookers.

"Feng Xuedie is about to lose," Liang Wufan said. The flames emanating from Feng Xuedie's body showed that she was already running out of steam. A level four fighting a level five was simply a pipe dream, like an ant challenging a giant elephant. Before dying, she could probably only take a light bite, not even breaking through the opponent's thick skin.

“Wind element has an aerial advantage.” Yu An nodded in agreement. He Feiquan stood in mid-air, raised his hands, and a rapidly condensed spherical elemental force blasted towards Feng Xuedie. Feng Xuedie used the force of the flame eruption to jump away. Before she could even catch her breath, He Feiquan waved his right hand in the air, and countless wind swords fell from the sky, blocking all directions from which Feng Xuedie could escape.

"Just admit defeat," He Feiquan said, looking at her with pity.

A level 5 ability user can easily condense ability weapons. These cyan swords contain elemental power, and if he wants, he can make all the wind swords explode with a power comparable to a nuclear bomb.

The battle just now didn't seriously injure him at all. For a level 5 ability user, this level of combat isn't even a warm-up.

Feng Xuedie knelt awkwardly on the ground, supporting herself with her left hand while patting her chest with her right. She coughed up blood and said breathlessly, "It would be good to die in your hands."

After saying that, he raised his right hand and threw something at He Feiquan.

He Feiquan cautiously used the wind to intercept it. Out of goodwill and vigilance, he did not break the thing. After enveloping it with the wind, he saw that it was a transparent glass bottle containing a blue potion.

“This is a power-enhancing drug I obtained in the United States. After drinking it, my power will surge for a short time, but I will then fall into a period of weakness. I don’t know the ingredients of the drug yet. The core information is in the hands of Ying Chengji and his successor, Ying Wuchou,” Feng Xuedie said with a pale face.

“You…” He Feiquan frowned as he looked at the woman in front of him. He raised his hand, and a gentle breeze blew as he softly lifted Feng Xuedie, who was kneeling on the ground. “I’ll take you to get treatment!”

“I’m going to die… This… Overdose of the medicine will cause my powers to go berserk… This is what will happen to me…” Feng Xuedie’s pupils were unfocused and her face was pale. She murmured in a low voice. The wounds on her body cut by the wind blades no longer flowed blood, but flames swaying in the wind, like the raging fire of hell, proclaiming the birth of the dead.

"Put me down... let my ashes drift away with the wind, and be buried in this Chuiguang Lake like those others—"

The ever-growing flames illuminated the surroundings and also entered He Feiquan's eyes. He looked at Feng Xuedie with her eyes closed, watching her fall backward like a fallen fire butterfly, gently landing in the clear Chuiguang Lake. The raging fire did not extinguish upon encountering water, burning with the last bit of its master's supernatural power.

A sudden gust of wind arose, its howling sound seeming to mourn for this man whose life had been filled with misfortune.
