Three days later, in a secondary mine hundreds of meters in diameter to the east of Silver Wing City …
After hundreds of years of modification, the place had been built into a maintenance dock and a vertical silo for small starships.
The vertical mine led to the ground, and the bright purple sky was right above their heads. The small assault starships less than a hundred meters long could be launched into space through the broken atmosphere through the helical ejection rune arrays deployed on the wall of the mine after their maintenance. It was safer and more confidential than maintenance in the orbit of the planet, and it would consume less fuel, too.
Right now, an assault starship was being maintained in the dock.
Countless maintainers were climbing up and down under the command of the refiners. Sparks were spluttering everywhere, and the place was bustling.
Suddenly …
Dozens of ceramic balls that contained powerful light rune arrays were thrown out from the tunnels of the mines in all directions. They exploded in midair one after another, forming a dazzling array of light, turning the dock into a giant vat of bright white dye.
Everybody's eyes were filled with whiteness, and they could not see anything clearly. The only thing they could hear was furious shrieks.
"The Split Sun Pirate Gang is here for business. Those who want to live, lie down!"
Hundreds of ferocious space pirates of the Split Sun Pirate Gang jumped out of the shadows deep inside the mines.
They had put on the Crystal Suit a long time ago. Their crystal cameras were all equipped with special anti-glare protective films. Therefore, they were not affected by the dazzling array of light at all as they lunged at the critical posts.
A fierce battle began in an instant!
In the past three days, a lot of space pirates of the Split Sun Pirate Gang had returned to Spider Den from Heavenly Saints City and regrouped. The leader of the Split Sun Pirate Gang, with the support of Fengyu Zhong, had also mobilized tremendous resources and recruited more mercenaries from Spider Den. Countless brutal bandits had joined his wing. The attack this time was even fiercer than the one three days ago!
In the blink of an eye, the front of the dock had turned into an ocean of fire.
Outside of the battlefield … Li Yao had taken action from the seemingly quiet flank, too.
He was wearing a grey Crystal Suit that was light and agile. Ancillary wings made of the skin of demon beasts had been installed on the back of his arms and legs, which were opened at the same time. He looked like a giant bat.
In the mine that was thousands of meters tall, there would often be air turbulence that went straight up and down. Through the design of this auxiliary wing, one could make use of the air turbulence to the greatest extent, making one's figure even more elusive and mysterious.
This Crystal Suit. It was named 'Drunk Bat'. It was a Special Warfare Crystal Suit specially modified for the environment of Spider Den. It was extremely difficult to use it, too.
"Sou!"
After putting on the Drunken Bat Battlesuit, Li Yao was truly like a drunken bat. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on the main battlefield, he silently drifted into the depths of the dock.
Beep beep beep beep!
Right then, the crystal processor of the Drunk Bat Battlesuit displayed that an enemy expert had been detected. It was' Ghost Wind ', the deputy captain of the assault team of the Wild Tide Pirate Gang!
The tactical crystal processor immediately entered the database. All of Gui Feng's information was displayed, including a few of his battle videos.
It was said that the man was a Cultivator in the middle level of the Building Foundation Stage and was adept at the spiritual energy of the wind class. He had also obtained a piece of magical equipment that allowed him to manipulate the air freely and compress the air into invisible 'air blades', which could kill people instantly!
While the files were flashing on the light beam, some other bloodstained files popped up deep inside Li Yao's brain, too.
Ghost Wind, the space pirate, was wanted by more than five hundred space towns at the same time. He was on the wanted list of space pirates in Heavenly Saints City. His bounty was among the top thousand, too. More than twenty murder cases that took place in space had been proven to be related to him.
Li Yao sneered. The information streams of the murder cases seemed to have turned into magma and flooded into his legs. His speed soared to another level. With the help of the turbulence in the air, he blinked and split into seven clones. They lunged at Ghost Wind at the same time!
Ghost Wind was an experienced space pirate with keen senses. The moment he was attacked in the front, he focused all his attention on the weakness in the rear.
Hardly had Li Yao's seven phantoms appeared when he triggered more than ten compressed air blades without a sound and slashed at them. In the meantime, four spiritual shields were raised in front of him in the blink of an eye!
It was a pity that although his spiritual shields could resist Li Yao's attack, they could not resist Li Yao's telepathic thought!
Li Yao's telepathic thought was compressed to the size of a mustard seed and penetrated through the spiritual shields and the Crystal Suit into Ghost Wind's brain easily.
Then, it exploded brutally!
It was a mental attack that Li Yao had invented himself. He named it 'Fear Bomb'!
Li Yao's mental attack technique was based on Hellsword's' Hellsword Arts', a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.
But the structure of his mental power was entirely different from Hellsword's.
His soul was more solid, but he did not have as many mysterious illusions as Hellsword did.
Li Yao had tried to learn Hellsword's mental attack, but the effect was not satisfactory.
He had thought hard for a long time. One day, he suddenly had an idea. Could he simulate the mechanism of the 'crystal bomb'?
At first, he would compress the telepathic thought that contained immense mental power with his solid soul and blow it into the enemy's brain at the speed of lightning like a tiny bomb. Then, it would expand abruptly and explode brutally!
This kind of mental attack wasn't secretive enough, but it was straightforward, simple, and violent!
For a moment, the thousands of streams of information inside Li Yao's telepathic thought exploded inside Ghost Wind's brain like a real bomb!
Ghost Wind felt that his eyes were blurred, and he fell into the illusionary world that Li Yao had carefully constructed. He felt that he was in the middle of a refining furnace that was as smooth as a mirror, where infinite fire of retribution was pouring in incessantly and roasting him endlessly!
"Ahhh!"
Such an illusion was even more dreadful than the illusions of thousands of ghosts that Hellsword created. Although Ghost Wind had killed countless people, he was still soaked in cold sweat.
"Not good. I've run into an expert in mental attacks!"
Stimulated by his cold sweat, Ghost Wind immediately realized what was going on. The illusionary world collapsed like a tower of sand in the wind.
In the real world, his heart had been pierced through by Li Yao's saber!
Li Yao's spiritual energy spurted out crazily. The real fire of spiritual energy burnt Ghost Wind's heart into ashes instantly!
…
"The attack is not going well."
In the shadows deep inside the mines, the leader of the Split Sun Gang and Yin She were monitoring the entire battlefield through the remote crystal cameras with a super high resolution.
They were just a bunch of mobsters that had been gathered in a hurry after all. They had only had a few simple drills in the virtual world.
The dock used to be the territory of the Split Sun Pirate Gang, too. But after it was taken over by the Wild Tide Pirate Gang, a series of modifications had been carried out. Countless hidden fortresses and firing points had been added. They were attacking according to the old design. Naturally, they suffered a lot of casualties.
On the Wild Tide Pirate Gang's side, on one hand, they were well-prepared, and on the other hand, they had won a series of victories. Naturally, they were braver and braver as they fought.
After failing to take down the enemy for a long time and suffering heavy casualties, many of the mobsters that had been recruited temporarily hesitated and decided to retreat.
Yin She sighed. "It's a pity that the elites of two starships were hunted by the Cultivators in the Silver Brilliance Space Zone and are still playing hide-and-seek with the Cultivators in the stone belts right now. They haven't returned to Spider Den yet. Right now, we can only count on the scumbags that we have gathered temporarily. I estimate that the attack will be in vain again."
"It doesn't matter. Not many of them are on our side anyway. It will only cost us a little more money."
The leader of the Split Sun Gang said unhurriedly, "The most important thing is to show Fengyu Zhong and the Temple of Immortals our attitude. As long as we stand firm, Fengyu Zhong and the Temple of Immortals will cover our losses no matter how many we suffer."
While the two of them were discussing the battle, they saw a gray shadow sticking close to the wall of the pit like a chameleon. After several blinks, it dashed to their side.
The leader of the Split Sun Gang and Yin She immediately frowned, their faces gloomy.
Recently, the Split Sun Pirate Gang had recruited a lot of mercenaries from Silver Wing City and the few cities nearby. Of all the mercenaries, 'Bloody Vulture' was given the highest price because of his ability to escape from the hunting of the Wild Tide Space Pirates the other day.
It was his first battle. They had thought that he would perform outstandingly. They didn't expect that he would shrink back so quickly.
"You —"
Before the Military Advisor Yin She could finish the word "you", a helmet was thrown at his feet with a "clang".
Yin She's pupils constricted violently. He lost his cool and exclaimed, "Ghost Wind's helmet?"
Li Yao gave no comment and squatted behind the cover.
While the leader of the Split Sun Gang and Yin She were in a daze, a deafening explosion suddenly burst out above their heads. They raised their heads, only to discover that a giant fireball almost a hundred meters in diameter was rising from the engine compartment of the starship that was being maintained in the dock and almost blocked the entire pit.
The scorching torrents swept across more than half of the dock. The starship was broken into two halves in earsplitting noises and stuck in the middle of the pit!
As the flames swept across, violent explosions occurred all around the maintenance dock. Fireballs grew out of thin air like orange-red mushrooms.
Both the Split Sun Gang and the Wild Tide Space Pirates were caught unprepared. They were all screaming in the ocean of fire!
The blast swept close like an overwhelming tide. Yin She was not a battle-type Cultivator. Therefore, he was knocked to the ground by the blast.
Even the leader of the Split Sun Pirate Gang was slightly shaking in the blast.
The two ferocious space pirates felt that their blood was freezing. They stared at Li Yao in bewilderment.
Li Yao brushed the dust off his shoulders and said calmly from behind the cold mask, "All the obstacles have been cleared. Your main troops are free to attack now."
"But —"
Silver Snake really wanted to jump up and scream. They wanted to take back the shipyard, but they didn't want to completely destroy it. Such a crazy explosion had blown the entire shipyard up into the sky. Even if they took it back, it would take at least a year or so of reconstruction before it could be restored to normal operation!
Besides, so many of their own people were inside!
"You —"
Silver Snake wanted to fly into a rage, but for some reason, when he saw the other person's helmet, even though he could not see the other person's eyes at all, he still felt two cold gazes gently sweep past his heart.
Yin She secretly shuddered and turned his head to the leader of the Split Sun Pirate Gang.
