All the gunshots were silent, and so were the bullets. Besides the faint smell of burning chemicals drifting in the air in front of the praying hall, there was no other trace to prove what had happened here.
The elite soldiers of the private army of the Mo clan had lost their lives in the blink of an eye. They couldn't breathe any longer, turning into corpses that were still warm.
The corpses were hidden in the sand dunes and other well-hidden places, so it was hard to find them.
Jing Jiu had promised the female priest that he would kill as few people as possible.
Besides the two people by the tree in the distance, Jing Jiu had only attacked those who wanted to kill him.
None of the pilots and personnel in the flying device had been touched, but the engines had been destroyed.
The stars in the sky shone on the praying hall. The stars representing the battleships grew brighter and brighter.
Before Mr. Xia saw those light beams, Jing Jiu had sensed something unusual. He grabbed Zong Lizi by the collar of her priest robe and pushed her back into the praying hall.
Zong Lizi flew backward with widened eyes amid the whistling sound, her face full of terror; but she didn't make a sound.
Standing on the stone steps, Jiang Yuxia had no time to react. Though the dozen main preachers had achieved a high Cultivation state, they didn't dare take the attack head-on, dodging it hastily.
Zong Lizi flew past the front gate of the praying hall and the spacious space of several thousand meters inside the hall. She flew to the deep part of the praying hall and landed on the sky-like gray screen in the end, looking like a butterfly on a spider's web.
The gray screen was so smooth that she couldn't reach out her hand to grab it. All she could do was slide downward at an increasingly faster speed. As she was about to hit the ground, she was caught by a gentle force.
The female priest pulled back her right hand slowly and lifted her head to look at the stars in the night sky, her eyes revealing a cautious and cold intent.
Hua Xi pulled back the gray screen and ran out. She helped Zong Lizi up and asked confusedly, "Big Sister, why did you come back?"
…
…
A gust of wind rose in the praying hall.
Ran Handong appeared on the stone steps and yelled while looking at Jing Jiu, "Get in here quickly!"
Jing Jiu didn't heed her, lifting his head to look at the night sky.
There were many stars in the night sky, and a few of them were relatively bright; they were the battleships on their way back.
Those stars suddenly became extremely dazzling, shooting out dozens of perfectly straight beams of light towards the ground.
The light battleship's most powerful heavy weapon — the high-energy laser cannon!
Dozens of light pillars instantly reached the ground. There was no sound or explosion, only an unstoppable sense of destruction.
The battleship attacked indiscriminately, and the praying hall was within the range of attack.
The gravitational field of the praying hall was activated in advance, forming an invisible barrier.
Dozens of laser beams met the invisible barrier and dispersed like water, revealing different colors. The scene looked extremely strange.
The watercolor-like light fell to the ground and burned rapidly. Whether it was the weeds, gravel, or soil, everything seemed to have become fuel.
After a very short period of time, the beam of light that fell from the night sky disappeared, as though it had been taken back into the battleship.
A semicircle appeared on the ground outside the front gate of the praying hall. Those lines had a crystalline color, meaning that the sand had been melted into glass. It was easy to imagine how high the temperature was at that moment. The ground in the distance was even more miserable. There were cracks formed by energy fluctuations everywhere, as well as many bottomless holes and melted magma.
Jing Jiu, who had been standing there, had disappeared without a trace. No one knew if he had turned into a wisp of smoke or gone somewhere else.
"Where is he?"
Jiang Yuxia ran to the bottom of the stone steps, but she couldn't pass through the gravitational field. All she could do was look at the hellish scene with a pale face. Ran Handong looked terrible as well. She didn't care about the life or death of the youth in blue clothing, but she was concerned that someone dared attack the praying hall with a battleship. What kind of force dared meddle in the military?
The main preachers and the female caretakers ran out from the praying hall. Seeing the scene in front of them, they were stunned speechless.
Zong Lizi clenched her hands tightly, her body trembling incessantly, but she didn't make a sound.
"He will be fine," said the female priest.
Having said that, she lifted her head to look at the night sky and the dimming stars. Her eyes, which were as tranquil as water, were on the verge of turning into ice and snow.
Though the god wouldn't die, those blasphemers had to.
… …
… …
Looking at it from the space, this planet that had been emptied by the humans didn't have much of a natural feel to it; it was full of a man-made aesthetic.
Some people thought it looked like the buttocks of a young girl wearing a pair of lace underwear; some thought it looked like an ivory ball with four layers; and some thought it looked like a huge space fortress.
In fact, this planet was the fortress of the humans on the frontline.
In addition to the deep underground laboratory, the Stargate Base was also the most important transit station for the fleets of the Federation. It was strategically important, guarded by the fleets all year round, and seven battleships were deployed to defend the base. Some of the seven battleships could be seen clearly at the New Era Institute and in Shou 'er City.
The fleet sent three battleships to enter the atmosphere that day for the October Water Festival.
After the new female priest was selected, the three battleships returned to the space. However, they received the order to return to the ground before they could do so.
Unexpectedly, one of the battleships suddenly fired the laser cannons with the highest efficiency on their way back to the planet and fired at the ground.
It was obvious to the naked eyes that the target of the battleship was the praying hall.
The space was deathly quiet, like a graveyard.
The edge of the atmosphere exuded a dust-like glow, looking a bit dirty against the dark space.
Three battleships hovered in the space in Silence. One battleship was obviously sandwiched by the other two battleships.
The battleships didn't communicate with each other, nor did they adjust their positions. A silent and depressing atmosphere filled the air.
This was a world with distinct black and white.
The places illuminated by the permanent stars were white and shiny, but the places shadowed by the stars were darker than the darkest night. There was a dust-like speck in the shadowed area of the battleship sandwiched between the two battleships. No one could find out that the speck of dust was a person unless they used the most advanced scanning wave to locate the target.
The blue tracksuit worn by the person had turned into ashes in the atmosphere.
In terms of size, the battleship by Jing Jiu's side was like a large mountain.
He had lain on that patch of grass for many days, waiting for these battleships to attack him. He was fully prepared.
Tonight, the other party's sudden attack had somewhat exceeded his expectations and given him a great surprise.
He didn't intend to come over to take a look at these battleships. On the one hand, it was because of his conservative temperament, and on the other hand, he wasn't sure if he could conceal himself from the surveillance of these battleships.
The laser cannons had caused a great disturbance in the energy field. When the laser cannons stopped firing, it looked like a beam of light being retrieved by the battleships.
It was then that he came to the space soundlessly.
The structure of the battleships of the Federation was top secret, but it was nothing to him.
His right hand landed on the outer wall of the battleship. Along with a faint vibration, a cover about forty centimeters long was opened, exposing the complicated cables.
