A Genius Remembers Love in One Second? BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! Flames were everywhere inside and outside of Weary Tooth, which was being swallowed by countless fireballs, explosions, and blasts.
The starship was in the weakest state after it had just escaped from the four-dimensional space. Even the spiritual shield was not fully opened yet.
Every attack of the enemy would bite off a piece of 'meat' from the crystal shell of the warship brutally. All kinds of metal components and oil were sprayed to the sea of stars like blood and broken bones!
Before Weary Tooth was completely blown up, the enemy did not seem to have any intention of communicating with Weary Tooth at all.
Dozens of colorful pillars of light spurted out from the front of every swordfish warship at the same time. Like the sharpest sabers of mystic rays, they slashed and savaged the shell of Weary Tooth blatantly!
On the back of the warship, dozens of helical metal thorns were standing like the 'fins' of a swordfish. Pushed by the power rune arrays, they were detached from the warship one after another, spurting, roaring, and rushing close in the form of high-speed rotation, piercing into the shell of Weary Tooth deeply, like tusks that were nailed into the body of the prey! Zi! Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Inside the helical thorns, powerful attack units of the thunder class were stored, as well as tremendous crystals of the thunder class. When Weary Tooth was deep inside, hundreds of high-voltage electric arcs were released instantly, sweeping across every pathway and every cabin like boas. Most of the units on Weary Tooth were seriously damaged, making Weary Tooth half paralyzed.
Weary Tooth was unable to fight back at all.
It was because its attack post had been empty in the first place!
Even the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators were not real gods. It was already their best that they could manipulate the Crystal Suit and the Colossus as if they were their own limbs. How could they have had the time to learn the battle skills of a starship?
Right now, Heiye Lan and Long Yangjun were the only ones on Weary Tooth who had grasped certain skills in starship piloting. It was already not bad that they could steer Weary Tooth to sail steadily in the sea of stars and find the destination precisely. Under such a harsh situation, it was impossible for them to attack each other!
BOOM! BOOM!
"Zi, zi, zi, zi, zi!"
Inside the cockpit of Weary Tooth, fireballs and electric arcs were flying crazily, too. All kinds of components and scraps were dancing crazily in midair. Long Yangjun's and Heiye Lan's hair was standing up because of the electricity, making them look like crazy devils.
"Fellow Daoist Spiritual Vulture!"
Long Yangjun gnashed her teeth and roared, "This place needs urgent maintenance. Give me a hand!"
When Li Yao staggered into the cockpit against the fireballs and electric arcs, he was immediately dragged to a corner by Long Yangjun.
"Hey, what's going on? Didn't you say that this place is safe and can be used as a buffer zone between us and the Federation?"
Long Yangjun gnashed her teeth in fury. "Why were we attacked so fiercely the moment we jumped over? Don't tell me that you want us to fall out and go our separate ways? "
"How would I know?"
Li Yao was somewhat dizzy, too. He replied angrily, "Theoretically speaking, this place is still a long distance away from the territory of the Federation, and the environment around the red giant is not very good. There is no reason for the Federation's fleet to show up here! Also, their original target was obviously not us but the calabash carrier. We were just passing by! "
He thought carefully for a moment and collected the appearance parameters of the enemy's starships through the surveillance magical equipment. Both the calabash carrier that had been blown up in midair and the three agile and brutal swordfish-shaped warships behind it were in vastly different styles from the starships of the Federation.
Also, the Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flag of the Federation was not painted on their shells, nor were the emblems of the Patriots Partnership, Skyfire, the Glorious Sunlight Group, or the major sects of the Federation. They were all bare.
They did not seem to be the starships of the Federation at all.
However, it did not make sense. The Federation's Heavenly Road Plan to explore space should've been implemented for a while. Ding Ling Dong's fleet should've been capable of sailing to the vicinity of the dark nebula that was even more distant.
If a force that was independent of the Federation did exist in this place, there was no reason why the Federation would not detect it!
So, what was going on exactly?
"There's one thing that you have been unwilling to talk about, but with everything coming to this point, you have to tell me now!"
"You swore that this area was not the territory of the Federation but an absolutely safe uninhabited area. I'll believe you for now. However, it's been almost twenty years since you left the Xing Yao Federation. Is it possible that some drastic changes took place in the Federation while you were away? Let's be honest. How old is your intelligence exactly? Ten years? Twenty years? Thirty years? It can't be fifty years ago, can it? Don't tell me that you've been drifting in the sea of stars for fifty years! "
"Of course not," Li Yao replied.
Long Yangjun was relieved. "That's great. Then, why don't you tell me how many years behind your intelligence is?"
"A hundred years," Li Yao replied.
"…"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! The explosions were still going on. Despite the brilliance of the electric arcs and the fireballs, Long Yangjun's fury that she was shooting at Li Yao could not be concealed.
"Could it be —"
Li Yao frowned. "Has my curse taken effect again?"
Long Yangjun was greatly alarmed. "What curse? How many more secrets have you not told me? "
"Here's the thing," Li Yao said. "I seem to have been born with a weird curse. Every time I feel that everything is under my control, there will always be unexpected variables! Is it because my curse took effect this time and infected the whole team? "
"…" Long Yangjun.
When the last illumination rune array inside the cockpit died out in the explosion, and only a few units were still lingering in the darkness, the stormy attacks finally came to an end.
According to the fuzzy monitoring interface, Weary Tooth had completely lost the spiritual shield and the power source. It could neither run away nor resist the enemy's barrage.
Besides, from the back of the dozens of helical thorns that were deeply embedded into Weary Tooth, spiritual magnetic cables were darted out and connected to the three swordfish warships, gradually narrowing the distance between the two parties.
It was tantamount to pulling Weary Tooth from three different directions, leaving it with nowhere to escape.
It was probably the reason why the enemy had paused their attack.
From the enemy's perspective, Weary Tooth had lost all its combat ability in every aspect and was now a lamb waiting to be butchered.
"Shua!"
A very powerful telepathic thought signal crashed into the mainframe crystal processor of Weary Tooth unreasonably and buzzed in hideous laughter.
Without saying anything, Long Yangjun parsed the signal and projected it to the light beam, which was still rippling nonstop. Then, she sent it to all the experts in the cabin.
What appeared on the light beam was a middle-aged man who was slim, slim, and whose every movement was filled with elegance and cruelty.
Li Yao was slightly dazed.
Two bright gold decorative horns were embedded on the man's forehead. Perhaps they had been fixed to the skull with a secret technique. There was also a circle of thin and long rune tattoos around the neck. The light and ethereal style of the armor on his body was entirely different from that of the federation, too. There was an exotic vibe about him that made him look like a floating deity.
Li Yao was certain that there was no tribe in such attire in the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, or the Blood Demon Sector.
"Whoever you are —"
The elegant and cruel dark-skinned man smiled arrogantly and said casually in the same ethereal and unpredictable voice, "Drop all your magical equipment and give up all resistance. Let us board the starship and examine it!"
"If not, hehehe. You must've heard our name before. 'Seven Kill Space Pirate Gang'! If anyone dares to act rashly, you will end up like that ship just now! "
A small window appeared next to the dark-skinned man, projecting the miserable state of the prey that they had attacked earlier. When the aftermath of the big explosion was quickly annihilated in the cold, dark sea of stars, what was left were only some broken remains. Bodies and components were mixed together, turning into a naked grave.
"Space pirates …"
Li Yao was at a loss for a moment.
It had been a long time since he last heard such a familiar yet strange name.
"Space pirates are pirates in the sea of stars. They are best known for their unpredictable, ruthless, and pestering. At least, they are in the Imperium."
Heiye Lan explained dutifully for the two seniors, trying to make a good impression on them.
It was a one-way communication. Only they could see and hear each other, but the other party could neither see nor hear them. Therefore, they could communicate freely.
"No." Long Yangjun shook her head.
Long Yangjun shook her head and said, "The guy is lying. Whatever the 'Seven Kill Space Pirate Gang' is, he can't be one of them."
"Exactly."
Li Yao analyzed. "When he introduced himself, his eyeballs were rolling slightly faster and even turned to the upper right corner. He was obviously analyzing the list of pirate gangs in his head and choosing a random one to fool us.
"However, speaking of which, since this' Seven Kill Space Pirate Gang 'is so notorious that it can be used to intimidate the prey, it means that there must be a lot of pirate gangs in this place. Also, they must be very strong. Even the local authorities can't control them!"
Looking at the fluctuating parameters on the operation menu, Long Yangjun sighed and said, "Weary Tooth has been completely paralyzed. It can't be regained without major maintenance. We can only 'borrow' their starship. Are you okay with that, Fellow Cultivator Spiritual Vulture?"
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao shook his head and said, "Not at all. Let's set a few fellow Cultivators free. However, ask them to be gentle. Blow up two warships casually and keep one for ourselves. Also, don't kill everybody on the warship yet. Keep a few of them for interrogation, especially the guy with horns on his head."
"Hey!"
On the light beam, the black-skinned man with horns on his head did not get any response for a long time. With impatience flashing on his face, he bellowed, "Did you hear me? If you did, stop hiding. Who are you exactly? Show yourself now and get out of the starship to surrender!
"Hehehehe. If you are still hiding inside, it won't be so easy to clean up the mess after the 'Seven Kill Space Pirate Gang' enters!"
Long Yangjun and Li Yao looked at each other.
Li Yao scratched his head somewhat helplessly. He could not understand why some people were unwilling to cherish their life and were impatiently seeking death.
He nodded at Long Yangjun and gestured for her to be beheaded.
