Chapter 84 Celestial Immortal (Part 1)
Bang bang bang!
Cen Lanqi kept releasing energy waves, his internal energy seemingly inexhaustible. He didn't expect to seriously injure the person in front of him with such a special skill; he just wanted to slow down the other party's escape speed.
He now fully understood the enemy's plan. They first sent a group of experts to infiltrate the construction area and engage in combat with five Qingming Guards. One of them lured Xin Li away, while the remaining group held off four Qingming Guards.
However, this was not the real purpose. The person who took Wang Zhao away with the light prison had been lying in wait in the shadows, waiting for the moment when the intensity of the battle was highest before suddenly making his move.
He was clearly a specific candidate; his combat strength was uncertain, but his speed was extremely fast, indicating that he had put a lot of effort into it, and he managed to take Wang Zhao away from the midst of a massive army.
If nothing unexpected happens, this person should have disappeared without a trace before the battle was over.
However, there is no perfect plan in the world. Cen Lanqi, who had just finished putting out the fire on the other side, suddenly intervened, helping the four Qingming Guards out of their predicament and getting involved with the kidnapper who had stolen people.
"Stop him."
Cen Lanqi sent out a telepathic message, attracting the attention of the two strongest individuals ahead.
Xin Li had just killed a powerful enemy and was about to recuperate when he saw that Wang Zhao was about to be taken to the Black Ship. In desperation, he had no choice but to leap forward, his three-zhang golden body reappearing, and thrust his golden spear down at the kidnapper.
No matter how strong a person is, they can't be infallible forever. He had just gone through several rounds of fierce battles and was on the verge of exhaustion when he encountered an unexpected situation, so he made a mistake.
With his internal energy depleted, he shouldn't unleash the full three-zhang golden body, as this would reduce the strength and quality of the special technique. He should maintain his previous miniature form, which, though short, is concise and powerful.
Now, the golden statue is just a three-zhang-long shell, but in reality, it is extremely fragile.
Of course, this vulnerability is relative to people of the same level. If he were to face ordinary soldiers, he could still kill them indiscriminately. Unfortunately, the bandits who kidnapped Wang Zhao were not ordinary. With a twist of their bodies, they shattered his golden body.
The kidnapper had only hidden away and stolen someone, so he hadn't expended much energy. Regardless of whether his combat strength was greater than Xin Li's, he was able to overcome the Golden Body's obstruction at this time.
Now that there were no obstacles, he was in his element and accelerated toward the black ship.
Ji Ye, who was originally engaged in a fierce battle with the giant iron tower, could not possibly ignore it. He made a decisive move and controlled his flying sword to swarm towards the kidnapper like a locust swarm.
So his back was exposed.
The giant iron tower was extremely strong. He had already been fighting for a long time before finally falling into a disadvantageous position. At this moment, if the giant chose to launch a sneak attack, he would most likely be severely injured, or even die. It all depended on whether his unused life-saving trump card would work.
But Ji Ye still chose to do so.
What a joke! You kidnapped someone right under my nose! How could I possibly face His Majesty in the capital?
Whoosh whoosh!
With a burst of energy, countless flying swords accelerated and rushed forward.
The giant iron tower moved. He was like a heavy cannon, and the visual effect completely ignored the laws of physics. Without a running start or crouching, he jumped out directly. His speed was incredibly fast, and even top experts might not be able to dodge it easily.
However, he did not move in the direction of Ji Ye, but rather towards the back of the kidnappers.
*Pfft pfft!*
More than a dozen flying swords pierced his body.
"Aww!!!"
The terrifying roar seemed to come from an ancient, ferocious beast.
The flying sword pierced into the giant's body, but never came out again.
He used his body to forcefully restrain these deadly weapons.
It would be hard for anyone, regardless of which side, not to be moved by this scene.
The sword had already been thrown. Even if he attacked Ji Ye at this moment, it would not prevent the kidnapper from being assassinated. So he made a choice that surprised everyone: to use his own flesh and blood to block the fatal attack.
He gave up the opportunity to assassinate Ji Ye, and even his own life, just to escort the kidnappers away from Wang Zhao.
Ji Ye was filled with shock and anger. He called out to the flying swords to bring them back, but the giant tightened his skin, flesh, and bones, burning everything to keep them firmly in place.
At that moment, the kidnapper leaped into the air.
At the same time, a small virtual sea ferry flew out of the hatch in the middle of the black ship, with half of a light-cast chain hanging from its stern, heading straight for the top of the sky.
The kidnapper released his grip and pushed upwards, causing the light prison binding Wang Zhao to shoot towards the small boat, connecting with the chain at the stern.
Seeing this, he did not try to chase after them, but immediately turned around and rushed towards Cen Lanqi and the four Qingming Guards who were chasing after him.
Boom! ! !
His body transformed into a ball of light and expanded.
A true self-destruction.
Cen Lanqi and the four Qingming Guards could not continue the pursuit. If they were caught up in such a desperate move, even they would be reduced to ashes.
puff.
The giant iron tower crashed to the ground, and he drew his flying sword, but it was too late.
Ji Ye stared dumbfounded at the small boat soaring into the sky, muttering, "Madman..."
The enemy abandoned a whale-class warship, a ship full of lives, and a dozen experts who were close to his and Xin Li's level, all to take Wang Zhao away.
From beginning to end, they never intended to leave alive.
Once the small boat carries Wang Zhao out of the celestial curtain of light and into the Void Sea, it will be impossible to stop it.
Because there is a rule for navigating the virtual sea: generally speaking, the larger the ship, the slower it is, and vice versa, the smaller the ship, the faster it is.
Judging from its size, the small boat could only accommodate a handful of people. It was the fastest Feather-class vessel, also known as a flying boat. The Void Sea's waterways were crisscrossed, and without intelligence, it would be impossible to catch up with it in just a few minutes.
At this crucial moment, a figure with a small braid jumped to Ji Ye's side, knelt on one knee, and raised a two-meter-long sniper rifle on his shoulder.
Hope rekindled in Ji Ye's eyes.
He recognized that this was Cen Lanqi's apprentice, and he also recognized the gun in the other person's hand.
This is no ordinary sniper rifle. It is produced using cutting-edge martial arts technology, and it does not fire ordinary bullets. Instead, it fires special ammunition formed by the user injecting a large amount of internal energy into the gun body.
These weapons are all handcrafted by master blacksmiths using a large amount of rare materials and time. They cannot be mass-produced, and each one has its own characteristics and a unique name.
The weapon in front of me is called Swift Arrow.
Its characteristics are just as its name suggests.
fast.
It's faster than a flying sword.
With her hair in a ponytail, she set up her sniper rifle and, without a second's hesitation, pulled the trigger.
choke!
A straight path of light connects the ground and the air.
It was as if it wasn't spraying from the gun muzzle, but rather copied and pasted, directly edited between the gun muzzle and the sky.
This is a fast arrow; it hits its target as soon as it's shot.
Xiao Bianzi's marksmanship and rapid aiming ability are top-notch; he accurately locked onto the chain between the Feather-class boat and the Light Prison at the other end of the light path.
when!
With a sharp crack, the cage shook violently in mid-air.
"6
""
Everyone was in despair.
The chains hadn't broken, and the swift arrows couldn't pierce them. Ji Ye could clearly hear her own heartbeat; it was rare for someone her age to feel such intense resentment.
We had clearly made preparations and had clearly annihilated most of the enemy.
However, this outcome still could not be prevented.
They lost this game.
Is this the ability that allows them to survive for a thousand years under the high-pressure encirclement and suppression of my Great Qin?
Ji Ye tilted her head back, wanting to sigh, but she was too short of breath.
But suddenly, his gaze sharpened.
What is that?
At the stern of the black ship, which was stuck diagonally into the ground, a figure leaped out like a cheetah from a height of a hundred feet, heading straight for the escape route of the small boat, holding a white beam knife in his hand.
"Lu Zhao, kid..."
