Chapter 152 - 151: Aerial Battle
HISS!
Brother Li, a Five-star Battle Grandmaster, was actually sent flying by a casual wave of someone’s hand!
They hadn’t even made physical contact!
This left the examinees from Spirit Abyss City stunned. They finally understood why the examinees from Fengyue City hadn’t dared to intervene and had just watched Brother Li with an expression like they were waiting for a show to start.
It was because they knew Brother Li couldn’t win!
’Who is that guy? How is he so strong!’
After that little interlude, no one dared to meddle in this business again.
Interfere again? Did they have a death wish?
Tang Yi, however, ignored everyone’s shock. After shooing away the annoying fly, he turned his head to Mu Xianling and asked again, confirming, "Are you going to listen to me or not?"
As Mu Xianling cried, Tang Yi’s tone softened, losing its earlier ferocity.
"I... I’ll listen. I’ll... listen," Mu Xianling said, looking at Tang Yi with tears in her eyes and nodding pitifully.
"Good. Stand behind me." Tang Yi pulled her behind him.
Once behind Tang Yi, Mu Xianling leaned against his back, sobbing quietly. As she stared at his broad shoulders, a mix of complex emotions churned within her.
’I should just strike now, while his guard is down,’ she thought. ’I could kill him with a single palm strike and avenge my humiliation.’ But for some reason, a force in her heart held her back, refusing to let her do it.
The conflict was agonizing.
After pulling Mu Xianling behind him, Tang Yi turned to Tang Piaomiao and the others. "You too. Get behind me."
Hearing this, the three members of the Tang Family and Wang Bi’Er obediently moved behind Tang Yi.
Once all this was done, Tang Yi finally turned his head, his eyes fixed on the approaching Warship in the distance. He clenched his fists, his expression tense.
As the Warship with the skeleton flag drew closer, Tang Yi could now sense many powerhouses at the Battle King level aboard it. There were even more of them than the Chief Examiners from the West Mansion, and each one possessed a powerful aura, not the least bit inferior to the West Mansion’s Chief Examiners.
He even sensed one aura that felt just like Elder Lu’s, giving Tang Yi a terrifying feeling.
Evidently, that person must be a Battle Emperor Powerhouse, just like Elder Lu!
A Battle Emperor Powerhouse! This was a being capable of threatening Tang Yi. He couldn’t help but be nervous!
No wonder the powerhouses from the West Mansion were so tense about these so-called "Heaven-Devouring Thieves." The experts Tang Yi had sensed were already enough to threaten the West Mansion and everyone aboard this Void Warship.
What confused Tang Yi, however, was that given the West Mansion’s transcendent Position, no Influence should dare to provoke them in the Western Domain. Even if this faction possessed considerable strength, the West Mansion was ultimately the ruler of the Western Domain. Opposing the West Mansion within its own territory was clearly not a wise choice.
Yet these Heaven-Devouring Thieves dared to attack the West Mansion within the Western Domain’s borders. It seemed this Influence’s background was anything but ordinary.
WHOOSH!
Just then, a golden light flared from the Warship with the skeleton flag. Like a golden sun, it shot toward the Void Warship.
From this golden light, Tang Yi felt an incomparably immense Power. This terrifying Power also carried an intense aura of Destruction, as if any living thing caught in its attack would be annihilated and vanish from the world.
"Is that an attack from the Skeleton Warship?"
Tang Yi said in shock.
Before Tang Yi could confirm his suspicion, Elder Lu shouted a command from the Void Warship, "Void Cannon, prepare!"
"Fire!"
BOOM!
A massive explosion rang out.
Following Elder Lu’s order, the mouth of the phoenix statue on the Void Warship’s stern opened slightly, and a massive fireball shot out to meet the golden light.
BOOM!
The fireball launched from the Void Warship collided with the golden light from the Skeleton Warship. The next moment, an even louder explosion followed, accompanied by a blindingly intense light that forced everyone to shut their eyes.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Gale-force winds raged. Powerful shockwaves rippled outward from the center of the collision, ferocious and untamed, like surging tides sweeping away everything in the sky.
A rain of golden fire also flew out from the epicenter in all directions.
The examinees on the Void Warship were blinded by the light. Just as they were able to open their eyes again, they saw the powerful shockwave sweeping toward them and a sky full of fiery rain descending upon them. They were instantly terrified, scrambling to find cover.
But just then, with a command from Elder Lu, a silver barrier of light rose around the Void Warship, and the full force of the shockwave and fiery rain crashed against it.
Immediately, ripples spread across the light barrier.
Neither the gale-force winds nor the shockwaves could advance another inch, blocked by this barrier of light.
Seeing this, the examinees clutched their chests, sighing in relief. ’That was a close call,’ they thought. The recent scare had nearly frightened them to death.
If that shockwave had hit them directly, it was likely that not a single examinee would have survived. Their bodies would have been pulverized, leaving not even bones behind.
Fortunately, the Void Warship also had powerful defensive Techniques, allowing the examinees to escape unharmed.
VMMMMMM!
Their first strike having failed, the people on the Skeleton Warship seemed unwilling to give up. They powered up the Skeleton Warship, cranked up the engines, and charged directly toward the Void Warship to ram it.
Seeing this, Elder Lu, who was standing on the phoenix statue, frowned. His expression was terrifyingly grim as he bellowed, "All hands, prepare to engage the enemy!"
Instantly, the powerhouses from the West Mansion gripped their Weapons, their faces taut as they readied themselves for battle.
VMMM.
BOOM!
A moment later, the Skeleton Warship crashed into the Void Warship’s light barrier at an incredible Speed, setting off a tremendous explosion.
The silver light barrier rippled intensely.
And then...
BANG!
After holding for only a few breaths’ time, the Void Warship’s light barrier shattered like glass, exposing all the West Mansion powerhouses and the examinees to the Skeleton Warship.
The violent Vibration also brought the Void Warship to a dead stop in midair, unable to move forward.
If not for the fact that the propulsion system was largely undamaged, the Void Warship might have been knocked out of the sky and crashed from that single blow.
Many of the examinees were dazed by the impact, their bodies jolted violently.
The weaker ones were even sent tumbling across the deck, cutting a truly pathetic figure.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
At that moment, dozens of figures flew into the air from the Skeleton Warship. At a glance, there were fifty or sixty of them, swarming toward the Void Warship like a plague.
Furthermore, the auras of these dozens of figures were terrifying. Gathered together, they were like a ferocious torrent, threatening to submerge anything in their path.
And these dozens of figures could fly!
Powerhouses who could fly were, without a doubt, all at the Battle King Level or higher.
