After saying that, Li Yao suddenly opened his eyes. His glittering eyes made the vice-captain feel an inexplicable pressure. He couldn't help but take a step back.
Li Yao waved his hands and said resolutely, "Send a signal back to Blood Rain. We will obey the arrangement of Blood Rain and change our course to Red Lightning now!"
"Understood!"
The vice-captain returned to the control panel and sent a message that everything was normal with the signal that was mixed with secret words. Then, he turned on the control light beam and corrected the course to Red Lightning.
Li Yao stood behind him and watched quietly. Suddenly, he said, "Get out of the way. Let me do it."
Before the vice-captain realized what was going on, Li Yao had already lifted him to the side.
Li Yao's hands immediately turned into two clusters of grey mist as he operated on the control light beam at a high speed.
As he set, a more concise and slightly circular course was set. He also set all the sailing parameters for the next hour in advance.
The vice-captain's eyes were wide open. He said in disbelief, "Master Li Yao, I didn't know that you knew how to drive a starship."
Li Yao smiled and said, "I once spent more than a year learning how to drive a warship. That is an authentic warship for the Imperium. It is more than ten times more difficult to operate than your civil carrier! If I can even drive a warship, it is needless to say a civil carrier!
"Besides, it is not a complicated operation. You just need to set the course and … run straight into it!"
The vice-captain didn't hear the last half of Li Yao's sentence clearly.
His attention was focused on the parameters that Li Yao set in the end.
According to the parameters … When the carrier was within two hundred kilometers of Red Lightning, it would automatically adjust the spiritual shield to the highest intensity, and its speed would be accelerated to the highest, too!
As a result … It was impossible to connect the two starships. The two starships would crash into each other!
"Master Li Yao, you …"
Every pore on the vice-captain's body contracted. Suddenly, he sensed a ghost-like silence behind him. All the crew members on the bridge seemed to be holding their breath. It was so quiet that even a needle falling to the ground would turn into a thunderous sound.
The vice-captain looked back. He immediately stiffened.
In the void, at some unknown time. Four terrifying magic treasures that glittered with cold light appeared.
Four floating triple-headed six-barreled rotary cannons!
"Da!"
Li Yao lightly tapped on the last parameter and completed the Destruction setting!
…
Ten minutes later, in Huangpu Xiaoya's suite … The door was kicked open, and Li Yao strode in. Bright spiritual energy was entangled in his arms, and flames of light swept toward her. A saber aura flashed and cut off all the shackles that bound her!
"Exercise your fingers as you walk. I still need your help!"
Li Yao pulled Huangpu Xiaoya to her feet and left without saying anything.
The baleful aura that lingered around him and the strong smell of blood on his body. Huangpu Xiaoya swallowed all her doubts and followed him obediently.
Li Yao led Huangpu Xiaoya to the cabin on the rear deck where the escape capsules were. There were two 'Spiritual Butterfly' escape capsules. They were floating in midair quietly with mini anti-gravity rune arrays. They were waiting to be modified.
Li Yao retrieved a lot of units that he had refined the day before from his Cosmos Ring. He then activated the crystal processor and gave almost a hundred structural designs to Huangpu Xiaoya. He said quickly, "I don't know how good you are at modifying shuttles, but since you are the genius heir of the Huangpu family, you should be fine. I don't think you know how to craft weapons, right? Such escape capsules are based on 'Spiritual Butterfly Shuttles'. Their structure is not complicated. You just need to modify them according to the structural designs and refill them with three times the crystal fuel. The endurance should be improved by more than 100%.
"Remember, you have thirty-two minutes and fifty-seven seconds to complete the modification."
While talking, Li Yao devoted himself to his own modification.
The units on his side were three times more than those that had been allocated to Huangpu Xiaoya. Thousands of structural designs and modification designs were floating around him, too.
Huangpu Xiaoya took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down from the panic and anxiety as soon as possible.
The genius heir of the Huangpu family finally showed extraordinary reflexes at this moment. She immediately started the modification and asked calmly, "What's your plan?"
Li Yao's hands moved quickly. He pondered for a moment and said, "It's very simple. The space pirates' greatest advantage is time, but their greatest weakness is time, too. They have to finish the battle quickly and annihilate the Great Horn Exo Society in one to two days. Only then will they have enough time to get away before the reinforcements of the Cultivators arrive.
"With my capability and such a carrier, it is impossible for me to change the outcome of the battle directly. The only thing I can do is to buy myself more time!
"As long as we can buy one to two days, we will win! Fengyu Zhong is a cunning dog with a keen nose for danger. There's no way that he would dare to take the risk! If the reinforcements of the Cultivators do arrive, he will be the one who goes for wool and comes home shorn!
"In a moment, I will crash the carrier into one of Storm Prison's crystal warships. But before that, we will have escaped through the escape capsules!
"After my modification, the escape capsule is enough for you to drift in the sea of stars for ten days to half a month. I will give you a lot of sealed food and water later. Three days later, you will send out a distress signal. I believe that somebody will hear it."
Huangpu Xiaoya's eyes suddenly shone. She asked, "Which crystal warship are we going to crash into? Is it Blood Rain, Fengyu Zhong's flagship? "
Li Yao shook his head. "No. Fengyu Zhong is too cunning to give me a chance to crash into Blood Rain!
"All in all, just rest assured. Fengyu Zhong is now mincing the Great Horn Exo Society. Also, most of his men will be chasing after another escape capsule. He won't be interested in a small shrimp like you. The odds of your escape are as high as 70%! After you are out of here, you can tell the whole world of Cultivators about the Temple of Immortals. Everybody will know that the demonic Cultivators have evolved into a brand-new form of 'Immortal Cultivators' in the darkness. You will also have an enormous organization and become the most dreadful enemy in the world of Cultivators! "
Huangpu Xiaoya was dazed for a moment. She asked, "What if I can't escape?"
Li Yao grinned. He said confidently, "Don't worry if you can't escape. I've taken every detail into consideration! Look. After my modification, the escape capsule you are in now boasts the best self-detonation system of the Flying Star Sector. With a telepathic thought, it will blow you into pieces. Your soul will be blown apart, and not a single cell will be left. I guarantee that you will be as dead as you can be. There won't be any remaining soul left. You will be used by the Immortal Cultivators! How about it? Not bad, right? "
Huangpu Xiaoya was rendered speechless. She was silent for a long time before she changed the topic. "Your nose, your ears, and the corners of your eyes are bleeding. Black blood."
"I know."
Li Yao wiped the two streaks of black blood on his lips and threw them to the side. The drops of blood that fell to the ground emitted a 'chi' sound. White smoke popped up from them. Huangpu Xiaoya was dumbfounded.
"This is a curse. I've been cursed. But I don't have time to care about the details right now. "Li Yao tried his best to modify the escape capsule while he held back the burning pain inside his veins.
Under his modification, the escape capsule was restored to the original appearance of a shuttle. More and more magical equipment units were installed on it.
Huangpu Xiaoya vaguely noticed that the magical equipment units were designed to increase the speed and agility of the escape capsule.
The originally round and chubby escape capsule was now filled with a strange light. Under Li Yao's crazy modification, it was gradually developing into a super shuttle.
A super shuttle. A super shuttle that was designed for the purpose of breaking the limits of speed!
Huangpu Xiaoya mumbled, "What are you going to do? Just now, you said that Fengyu Zhong would mobilize a lot of troops to hunt down the other escape capsule. What did you mean by that? "
Li Yao replied, "Exactly what I said. I'm going to distract Fengyu Zhong's troops and even move Blood Rain away from the battlefield. I'm going to buy myself more time and save the Great Horn Extermination Society!"
Huangpu Xiaoya bulged her eyes and exclaimed, "Are you out of your mind? Why do you think that Fengyu Zhong will let go of the Great Horn Exo Society and go after your insignificant escape capsule? Just because you blew up one of his warships? Besides, what if he does come after you? "
Li Yao smiled confidently. He activated the star map of the Iron Plateau Space Zone and said, "Look. We are now at the periphery of the Iron Plateau Space Zone. This space zone is best known for its large number of stone belts. Even the stone belts at the periphery of the space zone are very dense. Besides, the meteoroids are massive, hard, and mixed with all kinds of violent spiritual waves.
"In the depths of the space zone, especially around 'Iron Plateau', the main planet of the space zone, there are almost a hundred interconnected circular stone belts. It is almost like a super defense system made of almost a hundred 'star rings'!
"Fengyu Zhong must have taken advantage of the terrain when he forced the Great Horn Exo Society to this place. But right now, this chaotic space zone is the perfect place for my guerilla warfare and escape!
"My escape capsule is small in size. If I hide in a stone belt, I will be like a chestnut in an ocean. It will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It will take them at least ten days to half a month to find me!
"How can Fengyu Zhong have so much time? Some of the stone belts are too dense for his warship to barge in, considering the size of his warship!
"As long as I persist in the stone belts for three to five days until the main troops arrive, I will win!"
With a weird expression, Huangpu Xiaoya said, "If you can think of all this, Fengyu Zhong must have, too. Then, why do you think that he will come after you at such a great risk when he knows that it is almost impossible for him to catch up with you? It doesn't make any sense at all! "
Li Yao said, "That's why I said that I was only thirty percent confident. However, if he doesn't come after me, I am ninety percent confident that I will leave a giant wound on his heart that will never be healed. In the worst case scenario, the Cultivation of this Jin Dan expert will never be able to improve again! One day, I will come back and offer his head to the souls of the Great Horn Exo Society! "
Huangpu Xiaoya opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say when she saw the determination and confidence on Li Yao's face.
She stared at Li Yao thoughtfully and remembered the mysterious man in her heart. She said, "In that case, you must be very careful. You were right about one thing. The hundred space rings around Iron Plateau are not natural stone belts but a super defense system. Many of the 'stones' can explode!"
"What?"
This time, it was Li Yao's turn to be shocked. "A super defense system? Against whom? "
