Chapter 1865: Absolutely Dominating and Brutal!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu understood his weakness very well.
It was exactly because of such a weakness that he could only be considered a second-tier expert in the Black Wind Fleet despite the Cultivation at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage and the magnificent techniques in gunfighting.
He had performed intense training targeting his weakness. He had even received his license as a ‘Meditation Healer’ in the Imperium of True Human Beings. The st.u.r.diness of his nerves far exceeded that of regular Immortal Cultivators.
However, faced with the aggressive, terrible illusions from Li Yao, he could not help but feel shocked, and his brain went blank.
Within that moment, Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts and spiritual energy marched forward like two snakes that had been tied up.
The bullets that had been under the precise control of ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu vibrated violently. The unsubstantial illusions became more and more vivid and clear. The distance between Li Yao and him shortened, too.
‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu was only bewildered for a single moment. He broke away from the swamp of fear in less than one tenth of a second. Before the sparks of his mind glowed, his body had reacted on instinct. All the honeycomb-type launchers and guns that were installed on his crystal suit opened fire, but—
There was no response!
The moment his brain went blank, Li Yao’s spiritual energy and telepathic thoughts had already invaded his crystal processor. The telepathic thoughts sabotaged the fire control system of the crystal suit like a virus, blocking all the instructions that he sent to the crystal suit.
The outcome of the battle between two experts could be decided by the tiniest factor. With the damage of Li Yao’s telepathic thoughts, the corruption to such an extent could only last a short moment, but it was enough for him to jump to the enemy’s side and smacked his hand on the enemy’s head before the enemy changed the tactic.
Boom!
A fire that was as intense as blood was blown out of Li Yao’s palm, penetrating through the helmet and head of ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu and flooding out from the back of the helmet.
When the ear-splitting explosion echoed between Li Yao’s palm and the hardest part on the helmet of ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu, the leaders.h.i.+p of both parties who were watching the battle all felt that their heads shook hard, as if an invisible giant hammer had hit them.
Some of the non-battle-type Cultivators or Immortal Cultivators who were less capable even touched their foreheads subconsciously, only to mistake their cold sweat for brains and blood that was spurting out.
“This—This is too brutal!”
Even a lot of the most ruthless and pitiless Immortal Cultivators could not help but swallow hard and mumble to themselves.
‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu did not even have the time to scream or struggle before the performance parameters on the remote surveillance menu hit rock bottom.
As for the man himself, there was no telling if he was still alive. His brain was seriously damaged, and he had lost his combat ability temporarily or permanently!
Almost at the same time, the rus.h.i.+ng bullets in midair missed their target and fell into Li Yao’s control again. Drawing a devastating curve, they shot at ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei on the right side.
Murong Wei was an a.s.sa.s.sin of the Immortal Cultivators who highlighted agility. Li Yao did not expect the bullets to cause much trouble for him. But at the very least, they should be enough to stall him for one or two seconds.
“Hu!”
Li Yao’s grabbed the head of ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu hard and raised him up as if he were a sack of rice. Waving the enemy for half a circle, he threw the guy at ‘Heaven Cannon’ Lei Long, who was charging at him furiously!
‘Heavy Cannon’ Lei Long was one of the best strength-type Immortal Cultivators in the Black Wind Fleet and a giant with unparalleled physical strength.
Li Yao felt that he had been given the wrong nickname. The guy was not a ‘Heavy Cannon’ at all. When he was sprinting at full speed, he was obviously a stars.h.i.+p that had accelerated to the highest speed to crash into the enemy’s stars.h.i.+p!
Pa!
‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu, who was still unconscious, was blown hundreds of meters away by the spiritual s.h.i.+eld of ‘Heavy Cannon’ Lei Long, into the cabin wall of the s.p.a.ce station. Tremendous blood spurted out of the gaps of the crystal suit, leaving a mottled shape of a human on the wall.
‘Heavy Cannon’ Lei Long’s speed was utterly unaffected, and he continued charging at Li Yao. On the other hand, it looked as if Li Yao had not recovered from the fierce fight a moment ago. He was. .h.i.t precisely by the enemy and blown hundreds of meters away, too.
However, the collision disrupted all the plans of ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei, who was preparing for his ambush nearby. His attacks even almost hit ‘Heavy Cannon’ Lei Long.
Li Yao was quite right. The Immortal Cultivators that had hibernated for a hundred years really did not have much time to hone their teamwork. They had probably never thought that it would require several experts to work together to conquer the barbarians at the edge of the cosmos.
‘Heavy Cannon’ Lei Long continued his charge. Despite his enormous body size, he was the opposite of clumsy. In the straight sprint of several hundred meters, he was even faster than ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei.
Almost the moment Li Yao was blown away, he reached Li Yao’s landing point, ready to perform the second round of attacks.
But Li Yao reacted even faster than he did. While Li Yao was still flying in midair, he raised his hand and shot at the cabin wall of the s.p.a.ce station where he was to land, breaking a hole the size of a fist!
The landing point had actually been chosen by Li Yao carefully. On the cabin wall was an airtight gate that was not so solid. Once it was broken through, tremendous oxygen immediately leaked out through the tiny hole, lowering the temperature and pressure in the s.p.a.ce station. Air was escaping through the hole in a hurry, too, const.i.tuting obscure whirls that disrupted everybody’s movement!
Li Yao had been prepared for this. Naturally, he was able to activate the power rune arrays of his crystal suit in time and dashed to another side.
‘Heavy Cannon’ Lei Long, on the other hand, happened to be charging at Li Yao’s original landing point, where the ‘hole’ was.
He was a pure strength-type warrior. Although he could be faster than ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei in a short-distance sprint, his abilities in quick stops and sharp turns were far from the a.s.sa.s.sin-type Immortal Cultivator.
Now that his speed had soared, and because of the ma.s.sive attraction force, he could not stop at all and was directly absorbed to the hole.
Behind him was a vast and boundless universe. In front of him was the enormous air of a whole s.p.a.ce station. The two parts were solely blocked by his crystal suit and his body. He was essentially ‘pressed’ into the cabin wall by the force.
Despite the shocking strength of ‘Heavy Cannon’ Lei Long, he could not help but reveal a momentary loophole like ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu did just now.
It was already enough.
Or rather, it was already his doom.
What happened next panicked even the cruelest and most heartless Immortal Cultivators.
Li Yao had entirely vanished and seemed to turn into a continuous, incessant meteor shower that bombarded ‘Heavy Cannon’ Lei Long, who was stuck in the hole, displaying to everybody exactly what a ‘heavy cannon’ was.
The super heavy crystal suit on Lei Long’s body that was carefully made with triple materials was shattered by the overwhelming, destructive force in only one second. His body collapsed at a visible rate, and his previously bronze skin turned into a lifeless gray color within a moment, jumping past the phases of swelling, bleeding, and falling apart directly to the phase of ‘necrosis’.
Before anybody had a chance to observe his wounds and check if he were still alive, before they had the time to exclaim, and even before they raised suspicions as to why there was suddenly pa.s.sionate and soul-stirring music in the picture, all the shooting stars had congregated into a rus.h.i.+ng sun that directly blew apart Lei Long and the cabin wall behind, punching him into s.p.a.ce directly!
“Is—Is this the terror of Vulture Li Yao?”
“Taking down two experts on our side in a row within a breath, he has truly brought out every last shred of potential in the Cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage!”
“He is not in the Divinity Transformation Stage, but he has a terrifying combat ability close to the Divinity Transformation Stage. Incredible. This is truly incredible.”
“As—As expected of the well-deserved dominator of the edge of the cosmos who was capable enough to slay Heiye Ming and the man whose wife has been elected as the Supreme Speaker of the Federation!”
On Black Ray, all the Immortal Cultivators other than Di Feiwen were sweating hard in astonishment.
They did not partic.i.p.ate in the s.p.a.ce battle half a year ago, which meant that they did not witness the grand return of Li Yao with twelve Colossi.
But the shock Li Yao brought to them that day was as impressive as if they had watched an enormous s.p.a.ce gate being destroyed.
In the highest command center of the Defense Counsel of the Federation, everybody except for Ding Lingdang was exclaiming in amazement, too, overwhelmed by shock.
A lot of the MPs had never personally seen Li Yao attack. It was not until this moment that they finally realized why such a seemingly unattractive and rather casual man could become the only man for the mighty Blazing Tyrannosaur.
It all made sense now. Only such a man could conquer a she-dinosaur.
The MPs looked at Li Yao in the picture and then at Ding Lingdang, who was unmoved as if it were just a daily routine. They all swallowed hard, feeling that they had drunk a cup of boiling magma.
They were probably the most terrifying couple in the entire sea of stars.
Now, only one last Immortal Cultivator was standing.
‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei was known as a man who was too fast even for a ghost to catch him and could avoid being captured by crystal cameras for twenty-four hours with his high speed!
He was the last hope for the Black Wind Fleet’s dignity.
But he seemed to have been dumbfounded by Li Yao’s quick, brutal attacks. Abandoning the speed that he was most proud of, he simply stood at the center of the s.p.a.ce station in a daze.
Li Yao turned around. While taking off his own Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit that had broken apart in the thunderous attacks just now, he walked over to ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei.
He did not seem worried at all that the enemy would launch a sudden a.s.sault when he took off his crystal suit. He did not even perform the ultimate skill of ‘air change’ or show any intention that he would retrieve another crystal suit from his Cosmos Ring.
But ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei remained absolutely still and stared at him rigidly, as if he were an ossified shadow.
“What’s going on? Why is Murong Wei not fighting?”
“Even if he doesn’t fight, he can always run away and deal with Vulture Li Yao with his high speed. Faced with such a terrible monster, it is already incredible enough to last five minutes!”
“But why is Vulture Li Yao not fighting either? He even took off all his crystal suit, as if he’s not concerned at all.”
On Black Ray, all the Immortal Cultivators were whispering in bafflement. Right then, somebody exclaimed, “Look at the back of Murong Wei’s head!”
