Chapter 951 - 418: Fierce Battle_2
"Can’t hold back anymore, can you?"
Xi Ya’s eyebrows twitched as he noticed that the Divine Envoy had used a certain secret technique in advance, condensing the rock beneath his feet into a large block. This way, it provided ample recoil when jumping.
The power burst from this move caused the ground within a mile’s radius to crack, and with his strong constitution, his speed instantly surged to thirty times the speed of sound!
Even though Xi Ya was prepared and had raised the floating warship to an altitude of 20,000 meters, it still wasn’t enough against this astounding speed!
However, since Xi Ya took the initiative to force the opponent out, how could he not be prepared?
"Buzz!"
As invisible ripples spread out, the no-fly array was activated once more, and not only had its power not diminished at all, it had actually grown stronger by thirty percent!
It was the awakened ones on the warship, maintaining the operation of the no-fly array through the spiritual gathering array with their own power!
The Lizard God Envoy’s speed visibly plummeted, and with a low roar, dazzling spiritual light burst from his body, pushing the energy output to the limit!
Even with energy restricted to only one-fifth, it still had the output of an ordinary Heroic Spirit! Using the initial speed, it forcibly charged towards the no-fly array!
And its initial speed was so fast that the Sky Iron Guard couldn’t intercept it in time!
In the blink of an eye, it was less than a thousand meters away from the floating warship, still maintaining a speed over ten times the speed of sound!
It intended to use its own body to ram through the floating warship!
Everyone’s faces turned serious, except Xi Ya, who remained unhurried, instead revealing a smile of success with his plan.
Just as the Lizard God Envoy was about to pierce through the floating warship, suddenly, the main cannon barrel that had long been filled with energy split into eight slender cannon barrels on the side!
These barrels had folding "joints," akin to flexible spider legs, and as they extended, they firmly locked onto the ascending Lizard God Envoy!
The next moment, the spiritual light within the main cannon suddenly dissipated, like a river abruptly severed by an invisible force, the accumulated energy was evenly divided into eight portions! Each portion supplied to one of the side cannons!
Moreover, eight pitch-black crystals, which had quietly been embedded onto the eight side cannons, emitted a chilling black glow.
They were the [Super Magic Crystal]!
"Go!"
With a light gesture from Xi Ya, the energy that had long been compressed to the extreme suddenly erupted! All eight cannon barrels lit up simultaneously, and eight beams of spiritual light shot out at incredible speed, so fast that even King Tier awakened ones couldn’t capture them. Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and the next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded before them.
Eight beams of light, like eight sharp blades, precisely pierced through the Lizard God Envoy’s body. Even this heroic powerhouse couldn’t evade the attack of the spiritual energy cannons, and more shockingly, its terrifying body couldn’t withstand this immensely compressed energy!
Under the Divine Envoy’s gaze of shock and anger, its body was pierced with eight holes, each over ten centimeters in diameter.
This was Xi Ya’s prepared trump card!
Although the main cannon of the floating warship was extremely powerful, it was too bulky and suited only for destroying large targets, ineffective against high-tier powerhouses.
The no-fly array and the Sky Iron Guard could delay the high-tier awakened ones but could not kill them, and their weaknesses were apparent. As long as the opponent prepared in advance and advanced at high initial speed from a distance, the no-fly array would be breached before it had time to exert its effects.
As the pinnacle of Blood Crystal Civilization technology, it naturally wouldn’t have such weaknesses. The eight side cannons near the main cannon were born for this purpose!
They shared the same energy source as the main cannon, able to transfer the energy stored in the main cannon to the side cannons at any time. These eight side cannons were spiritual energy cannons emphasizing speed and piercing power to the extreme, their speed so fast that even demigods at close range of ten kilometers would find it hard to completely dodge them!
And their piercing power was astonishing; when fully charged and augmented by the [Super Magic Crystal], they could inflict damage to demigods! No matter how strong the Lizard God Envoy’s body was, it couldn’t block this strike!
Of course, the floating warship is still King Tier weaponry, and even with the [Super Magic Crystal]’s enhancement, harming enemies across two large tiers was too outrageous, so naturally, there were limitations, namely, the excessive pursuit of piercing power, which led to a decrease in power.
Some of these attacks pierced the joints of the Lizard God Envoy, some destroyed its internal organs, but none were fatal. Compared to its six or seven-meter body, a ten-centimeter-diameter wound is nothing significant.
The Lizard God Envoy’s face showed no fear, only volcanic fury!
"You’re seeking death!"
Never did it imagine that these people could genuinely harm him!
Being heavily wounded under the gaze of the God was undoubtedly a massive humiliation!
The Lizard God Envoy’s flesh and blood surged, and its injuries healed at an astonishing rate.
Lizards have robust healing abilities, but these eight beams of spiritual energy laser nonetheless dealt heavy damage, stalling the flow of energy within its body. The entire body was suppressed by the no-fly array, and by the time its surface wounds had healed, its speed plummeted to zero!
And as the Lizard God Envoy’s speed was nullified by the no-fly array, the Sky Iron Guard had re-established the encirclement. Moreover, a shadow wielding a fine sword appeared in the void, it was Zoltan!
His eyes were fixated on the Lizard God Envoy, an invisible aura securely locked onto it!
The core skill of the Duel Master: [Forced Duel]! Once a target is locked on, it dramatically enhances the detection of all status changes of the target and imposes boosts such as [Weakness Detection], [Dynamic Prevision], and [Full Attribute Enhancement]! Additionally, if the locked target attempts to flee from the duelist, they will suffer continuous mental damage.
In the Duel Master profession, the most challenging part is locking on using [Forced Duel]; before being locked, the enemy has multiple ways to escape, but once locked, it becomes nearly invincible in a one-on-one duel at the same tier and grade!
Without any hesitation, Zoltan’s fine sword, like a serpentine viper, thrust out!
This was a legendary weapon, and the Lizard God Envoy did not dare to underestimate it, so it tried to block it with the scale armor on the back of its hand. But Zoltan’s swordsmanship was of mastery, twisting and flicking at the moment of contact, snaking into the gap of the scale armor, and forcibly stabbing a bloody hole at the weakest point of the defense!
The Lizard God Envoy was both furious and helpless; should it keep pushing forward, its already unhealed body would suffer further attacks. The opponent wielded a legendary weapon, and with its speed restrained by the no-fly array, it dared not arrogantly expose its back to the opponent.
Reluctantly, it had to turn around, striving to resolve this annoying ant as quickly as possible.
However, more and more Sky Iron Guards arrived as reinforcements, a barrage of flying swords shot from all directions, and two more King Tier awakened ones appeared for long-range support. No matter how strong the Lizard God Envoy was, it couldn’t kill Zoltan amidst the entanglement of so many Sky Iron Guards, being forcibly stalled in place!
Meanwhile, Xi Ya wasn’t idle either, continuously forming techniques with her hands. Under her control, the floating warship continued to move further away while the main cannon charged once more!
This time, she spared no reservation, with all eight Super Magic Crystals shining brightly, drawing the entire warship’s energy into the main cannon, aiming directly at the altar!
Witnessing the scene, the Lizard God Envoy’s eyes instantly burned red, and its body trembled, no longer caring about any attacks, rushing desperately toward the main cannon!
"Bang bang bang!"
Three King Tier awakened ones attacked successively, striking three massive bloody holes on its body, yet it ignored them, madly charging at the floating warship.
But of course, Xi Ya wouldn’t let it succeed; one after another, the Sky Iron Guards blocked like a heavenly barrier between the Divine Envoy and the floating warship, with the no-fly array infinitely suppressing the Lizard God Envoy’s speed.
Previously uncrossable lines of defense had been weakened by severe injuries; it was now even less likely to break through.
Thus, it was left with only one choice...
Hate like never before erupted in the Lizard God Envoy’s eyes; it never imagined that ants in its view could push him to this point!
Right now, no matter how unwilling, it had no other choice.
Plummeting downwards, in a blink, the Lizard God Envoy dove over ten thousand meters, and breaking free from the no-fly array’s shackles, it accelerated again, finally reaching the space between the main cannon and the altar before the cannon finished charging!
The next moment, dazzling light shone, and the Lizard God Envoy’s figure was utterly engulfed by the extreme brightness!
