The destruction of one of the outermost warships greatly encouraged the Upper Realm martial artists, making them realize that although these things had strong defense and firepower, they weren’t indestructible!
“Attack!”
The powerhouses of the ten great Immortal Sects shouted.
Driven by them, major sects and independent cultivators pressed their advantage, locking onto the second warship one after another and pressing forward with gathered energy.
These martial artists or factions might be enemies, might have grudges, but when their homeland was invaded, they truly achieved unity against external threats.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Various energies erupted in midair, various beams and unmanned aircraft weaving chaotically.
In this kind of great melee, there would definitely be casualties, so from time to time corpses could be seen falling from high altitude, and from time to time machine parts could be seen falling.
“Damn it!”
Inside the main warship, the young man sitting in the seat of honor wore an angry expression.
As the commander of Star Spirit Realm’s Third Fleet, having fought hundreds of battles across the vast universe without ever encountering defeat, he now actually had a warship shot down in this place.
“Captain.”
One of his subordinates sitting before an array-like light screen said: “The analysis is complete. This place is called the Upper Realm and has already reached quasi-second-tier level.”
“Quasi-second-tier?”
The young man had a realization: “No wonder it’s so strong.”
“Captain!”
Another subordinate before a light screen said: “According to Star Spirit Network exploration, this world has powerhouses whose combat power exceeds ten thousand!”
“What?!”
After hearing the report, the young man’s expression changed instantly.
“Retreat!”
“Retreat immediately!”
“Yes!”
His subordinates immediately notified the other eight warships to withdraw. From the tone and atmosphere, it seemed very urgent.
…
Eternal Sect.
Jun Changxiao was so anxious his butt was practically on fire.
He’d originally thought the Upper Realm side would have difficulty dealing with these invaders and in the end would still need him to save the world. As a result, they very quickly shot down one warship.
No good!
Must hurry.
If they finish them off early, how would he complete the epic quest!
Because of the fixed number of refreshes given by the annual VIP, Jun Changxiao refreshed continuously. He’d even just glance briefly, and if there was no Soul Bomb he’d immediately replace it, not knowing how many formulas and equipment he’d missed in the process.
“Sect Master!”
Li Qingyang said: “The warships are moving!”
Jun Changxiao hastily looked up and saw the nine warships suppressing the incoming powerhouses with firepower while adjusting their orientation to face the giant vortex. The unmanned aircraft scattered across the firmament fighting also successively returned, with every sign of… preparing to flee!
“Damn!”
“Are they going to run away?”
The System said: “From the current situation, although these warships will bring serious destruction to the Upper Realm, as the price they will inevitably be completely annihilated, so retreating is a very wise choice.”
“Damn it!”
Jun Changxiao cursed.
The number of unmanned aircraft shot down was far from ten thousand, and especially the target of two warships hadn’t been completed at all. If he let them escape, he couldn’t complete the epic quest and would be stuck at this realm level!
…
Because the warships showed intent to retreat, the several unmanned aircraft squadrons originally planning to attack Eternal Sect all withdrew.
“Huff huff!”
Li Qingyang, Su Xiaomo and others breathed heavily, smiles appearing on their faces.
The time fighting the unmanned aircraft wasn’t long, but unleashing Seven Profound Radiance Burst without restraint, the entire process could be called exhilarating!
“That was so satisfying!”
Su Xiaomo grinned: “Haven’t gone this crazy in a long time!”
This battle with combat aircraft was also a precious growth experience for the sect disciples, and they became even more aware of Seven Profound Radiance Burst’s formidable aspects.
At this time, the Upper Realm martial artists all realized the warships had signs of withdrawing, so everyone was filled with joy.
However.
Only Gu Zhaoxi’s brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
When the giant vortex and warships appeared, that feeling of unease in his heart was especially strong. Now that the enemy had plans to withdraw, it should have subsided, but instead it grew more intense.
“Could it be…”
Gu Zhaoxi thought in shock: “These invaders still have reinforcements, and the Upper Realm will face an even greater crisis?”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
Just then, the tail sections of the nine warships that had adjusted their orientation sprayed rolling energy and sailed toward the vortex.
The ten great Immortal Sects and independent cultivators like True Person Tonggu didn’t chase after them, because when the other side retreated, their firepower remained fully active, even fiercer than before. Blindly going up would just mean pointless sacrifice.
“Upper Realm.”
The young man’s sinister voice came from the main warship: “This young master will return!”
Having one of his warships destroyed, he definitely wouldn’t let this go.
“…”
Various powerhouses furrowed their brows.
These strange warships that suddenly appeared possessed extremely strong power without even deploying martial artists. If they came back with a counterattack bringing more people, it would truly be a huge crisis!
“Idiot!”
Just then, crude language came from Eternal Sect.
Everyone looked over with released spiritual sense, dumbfounded, and saw Jun Changxiao standing on the highest mountain peak holding an item, saying: “Coming and going as you please—did you ask for my permission?”
“…”
True Person Tonggu’s expression became wonderful.
These invaders were driven away by our combined forces with the ten great Immortal Sects and others, yet only now does my disciple jump out to shout and yell—simply a bit… shameless!
“Boy.”
A voice came from the main warship: “These mecha of yours are quite interesting. When this young master returns next time, I’ll definitely study them thoroughly.”
“Very sorry.”
Jun Changxiao shouldered the newly bought rocket launcher: “You and your fleet won’t have a next time.”
“Click!”
He pressed the button.
“Boom!”
In an instant, a shell dragging flowing light shot out, but didn’t attack the warship. Instead it flew to an area higher than the latter, then fell vertically. In the process it instantly disintegrated, transforming into small shells!
The camera suddenly froze.
The eight large characters “Precision Fragmentation Lock-On Shooting” filled the entire screen with special effects!
“Boom boom boom!”
“Boom boom boom boom boom!”
The rain-like shells instantly exploded on the main warship. For a time, explosive fireballs frequently rose, but didn’t harm it in the slightest.
The all-new Divinely Modified RPG Rocket Launcher was fine for blasting unmanned aircraft, but using it to blast steel warships that even Peak Truth-Seeking Realm cultivators couldn’t shake was definitely like mosquito bites.
“Boy.”
The young man sneered: “This weapon of yours is quite good. When this young master…”
“Captain.”
A subordinate said: “Someone is charging up.”
On the barrier-like light screen, Gu Zhaoxi alone transformed into flowing light, constantly approaching the main warship, his face showing resolute determination.
“Tch.”
The young man said disdainfully: “Seeking death!”
If it were a group of Upper Realm powerhouses killing over from behind, he might be wary, but just one person, and according to the light screen data lock analysis, combat power not even a thousand, could be completely categorized as a fly.
“Eliminate him.”
The young man ordered: “Quickly withdraw from this place.”
“Yes!”
“Clack clack clack!”
“Clack clack clack clack clack!”
All weapons on the main warship and several secondary warships aimed at the flying-up Gu Zhaoxi. The latter burst forth his True Spirit Power, transforming it into a large hand, roaring: “Since ancient times, who has not faced death? Leave behind a loyal heart to shine through history!”
“Brother!”
Standing on the mountain peak, Jun Changxiao set down the rocket launcher and performed a military salute: “Take care!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
From Fine Rain Peak, War Steed Peak, Medical Herb Peak, Formation Peak and other halls of Eternal Sect, a hundred thousand disciples all looked up, performing the highest standard military salute toward Gu Zhaoxi radiating great brilliance!
“Martial Uncle!”
“Bon voyage!”
The solemn voices shook the firmament!
Faintly, it seemed they could see Gu Zhaoxi turn his head to look toward Eternal Sect, a brilliant smile appearing on his face.
“East Wind Express, mission guaranteed!”
“Boom—”
Accompanied by an inspiring roar, the entire Upper Realm was instantly enveloped in scorching white light. Wild energy howled and swept forth, shaking space into fragmentation!
“Boom boom boom!”
“Boom boom boom boom!”
“Ding! Shoot down shuttle warships 1/2.”
“Ding! Shoot down shuttle warships 3/2.”
“Ding! Shoot down shuttle warships 9/2.”
“Ding! Shoot down unmanned combat aircraft 35911/10000.”
“Ding ding ding!”
“Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding…”
