Wuying Lan watched the tides of prisoners that looked like ferocious beasts on the surveillance light beams in silence.
They were more like zombies and devils that were filled with hatred, fury, and madness than living human beings. Fearless of death, they marched forward dauntlessly. They were not even looking for a path of survival but only trying to find the place where the Immortal Cultivators were the most abundant so that they could die together with the Immortal Cultivators in the cruelest and most brutal way.
After looting tremendous magical equipment of the latest models that were still being tested from the warehouse of cutting-edge magical equipment attached to the laboratory, the damage of the lunatics was even higher than before. Very soon, they opened the channel from the laboratory to the central area of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky".
In the meantime, the defenders of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" organized a few ambushes, too. The well-trained Exos beat the fanatical lunatics back more than easily. As a result, "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" was riddled with holes. The series of explosions led to a chain reaction. They dug hundreds of holes on the cabin wall at the outermost layer. A lot of Immortal Cultivators and prisoners were sucked out together, drifting into the dark, cold universe. Inside "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky", a large area of vacuum and no man's land appeared.
Seeing the invaluable experiment equipment and the corpses of the specialists floating in the vacuum or being sucked out of the space fortress, Wuying Lan felt that his internal organs had all been sucked out of his body, too.
His heart was aching so much that it couldn't be any worse!
"You —"
Wuying Lan glared at the captain of the guards. "Is there any way to stop the lunatics?"
"It's very difficult."
Faced with Wuying Lan's murderous eyes, the captain of the guards still said in trepidation, "My lord, as you can see, the prisoners have occupied the entire experiment area and released tremendous mutated beasts that have been strengthened and modified. They are spreading out crazily from the experiment area like a virus that is breaking out quickly. They have already leaked into the central living area. However, we cannot close all the gates from the experiment area to the central area.
"Even if we have a way to close the gate, it is not difficult to blow open the gate by force. After all, when we first designed 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky', we never considered fighting 'street battles' inside the city!
"Besides, we are seriously short of hands right now, and we cannot defend every pathway leading to the central area at all!
"If I were given five times — no, only three times as many hands, I would be confident that I could kill all the prisoners, but the losses to 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' would … would not be a concern at all."
Wuying Lan's lips shivered for a long time, and the desperation in his eyes turned into infinite fury.
"There must be someone behind all of this."
Wuying Lan gnashed his teeth. "The prisoners wouldn't have run out for no good reason. Our network system is not so easy to be hacked!"
"Then …"
The captain thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to stop the live broadcast?"
The coldness beaming out of Wuying Lan's eyes made the captain of the guards shudder for the deepest moment in his life. "Are you crazy? Do you know what the epic quest 'Dying Light' means for the Heavenly Eye Group? Everything! It was everything! Nothing could stop the live broadcast from going on!
"Right now, I want you to lead a team to snipe the wretched prisoners, beat their arrogance, and find out the manipulator hiding behind them by the way. Then, I will take action in person. Whoever he is, I will dig out his heart and liver and eat it right in front of his face!"
"Understood!"
The captain of the guards stood at attention and fled under Wuying Lan's pressure.
Wuying Lan continued staring at the picture on the light beam that was half seawater and half fire. The muscles and veins on his face were cramping at the same time. Finally, he sighed and reached out to "Hurricane", Li Lingfeng's flagship.
Li Lingfeng's side went quite well.
Through the enormous light beam on the mainframe crystal processor of Hurricane behind him, it could be clearly seen that a large starship of the coalition fleet of Starlight was exploding slowly, swallowed by countless fireballs that looked like tumors. The colorful exhaust flames illuminated the gloating look on Li Lingfeng's face, making him as confident and confident of his victory as Wuying Lan was ten minutes ago.
But three minutes later, his face was completely frozen at first just like Wuying Lan right now. Then, thousands of cracks appeared on his face, until it completely collapsed in the end.
Li Lingfeng craned his face to the crystal camera. Therefore, the entire light beam that Wuying Lan was faced with was his giant face. "What did you say? The mysterious intruders have released all the prisoners in the beehive prison and threatened the central area of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky'? What kind of 'mysterious intruders' can achieve such an unbelievable thing? "
"I'm still investigating."
Slightly frowning, Wuying Lan said briefly, "But it will take time and reinforcements. With the forces of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' right now, it won't be able to resist for long."
Li Lingfeng glared at Wuying Lan.
Wuying Lan glared back at Li Lingfeng in silence.
He and Li Lingfeng were partners. They were not pure superiors and subordinates. Although the guy was the great patron behind him, he had also provided incessant support for Li Lingfeng in the past decades and learned a lot of Li Lingfeng's secrets.
They were on the same boat. Now that the rope was on fire, it was certainly not a good time to blame each other.
As he expected, Li Lingfeng took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "How's the damage going right now?"
…
Li Yao, like a fiend from hell that was burning furiously, was roaming in the pathway at the central area of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky".
After opening more than ten gates leading to the central area through the most violent approaches, he let the prisoners do whatever they wanted while he parted ways with the main troop for now.
It was because …
His methods were too brutal, violent, and had too large an attack range. It was not suitable for him to fight together with the common prisoners.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! The cabins behind Li Yao were exploding nonstop, spurting out overwhelming blasts and flames of spiritual energy.
Countless Immortal Cultivators were screaming miserably in the flames and being burnt into ashes, but Li Yao did not look back even once.
In front of his eyes, "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" seemed to have turned into an undefended, transparent city. He could clearly sense the spurting of every transmission tube of spiritual energy and the panicked mobilization of the defenders, which allowed him to choose his marching route more purposefully, avoiding the meaningless slaughter, and marching straight to his target.
His target was the warehouses of crystals and assets in the enormous space fortress.
Every time he found a warehouse of crystals, he would absorb tremendous crystals into his Cosmos Ring as quickly as possible. With the support of the entire Federation, he was carrying almost thirty Cosmos Rings with enormous storage capacity. It was almost unprecedented even by the standards of the Imperium of True Human Beings.
Li Yao was not a stingy man. Therefore, after he absorbed enough crystals into his Cosmos Ring, he would retrieve the crystals and components to assemble crystal bombs while he moved forward.
Such crystal bombs that did not involve furnaces and were merely jumbled up casually were naturally not very powerful. Thankfully, the narrow and enclosed space of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky" allowed the power of the crystal bombs to be maximized … BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! Li Yao blew up all the way forward. In many cases, he was too lazy to move forward in the zigzagging pathways that were as zigzagging as a maze. Instead, he simply stuck the crystal bombs to the wall of the pathway and activated the "Cell Obliteration Cannon", blowing up the Immortal Cultivators hiding behind the wall as well as the walls into smithereens.
Finally —
Sensing the super enormous space ahead that was radiating light and heat nonstop like the sun, Li Yao put on a mysterious smile.
This was his destination.
The energy core of "Manjusaka, the City in the Sky"!
…
"It's very serious," Wuying Lan said with difficulty.
Wuying Lan struggled to say, "The enemy is about to invade our energy core."
"What!"
Li Lingfeng was so shocked that he was rendered speechless for a long time. He almost had the urge to turn his eyes into iron hands and choke Wuying Lan to death brutally. "You know the significance of today for us. We cannot allow such a thing to happen!"
"Nobody could've foreseen such a thing to happen!"
His eyes bloodshot, Wuying Lan declared angrily, "I'm even beginning to suspect that our queen has vaguely learned some secrets and is crazy enough to meddle in the matter directly!"
The words "our queen" made Li Lingfeng's pupils constrict violently. A moment later, he said solemnly, "I'll come back to reinforce you immediately. Until then, you must defend the energy core no matter what happens, and you must not interrupt the stream."
"I understand," Wuying Lan said coldly.
Wuying Lan said coldly, "'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky' is my hundred years of hard work. I will not allow anybody to sabotage it. However, we have to be prepared for the worst. I have to make preparations for a 'forced landing'. It can't be helped. Once the 'energy core' is really damaged, the space fortress will be attracted by gravity and fall straight down!"
Before Li Lingfeng replied to him, he had cut off the communication quickly.
Expressionlessly, Li Lingfeng stared at the dark light beam for a long time. Everybody on the bridge could hear the sound of his grinding teeth clearly.
He rose abruptly and strode away from the bridge.
A moment later, in the middle of the seething space battlefield, the most dazzling bluish brilliance suddenly exploded. From the bluish fire, an iron giant almost forty meters tall slowly rose up. It seemed to be made of raging wind. Its streamlined body was full of speed and agility. The most eye-catching part was the eight pairs of stabilizing fins on its back that looked like sixteen enormous wings!
BOOM!
The exhaust flames spurting out of the center of the eight pairs of stabilizing fins extended to dozens of kilometers long, even more astonishing than the exhaust flames when a warship was rushing at its highest speed. It immediately absorbed all the light on the battlefield and became the main character of the battle.
