Chapter 1700: Air Combat
Ao Liancheng watched Chen Xiaobei fly away, and gasped to himself, "My God! Zhufeng has the rarest flying Spiritual Instrument ever! He really is incredible! How unfathomable!"
The pilot of the Tenshou spacecraft which was in pursuit right behind him had already locked his sights onto Chen Xiaobei.
"Baka! Why is that kid coming towards us?!"
The commander next to him shouted, "He's here to die! Open fire! Kill that insect!"
The combat spacecraft then shot eight rays of red laser beams.
Each of the laser beams, in speed and in strength, was at God-Ascension level.
If any of them were to hit Chen Xiaobei, he would surely be dead.
"Penetrate the Nine Heavens!" Instead of dodging, Chen Xiaobei kept flying in the same direction. He had come prepared.
Purplish-golden dragon scales appeared on his legs and his body did something absolutely baffling.
"Chief! That kid is gone!" The pilot cried. "But that cloud is still flying towards us!"
"Open fire! Disperse that cloud!" The commander shouted.
Zap! Zap! Zap!
Again, another eight beams of lasers shot out at frightening power and destroyed the cloud, breaking it into pieces.
"Haha! I got it! I got it!" The pilot celebrated.
"The problem is... Where is that kid?" The commander looked around, uncertain. Suddenly he shouted, "No! Change course... Hurry..."
Whoosh!
There was a deafening whistle of wind, and from the cockpit window, they could see a silhouette descending rapidly from the skies!
Swoosh!
The silhouette came barrelling down like a meteor from outer space, hurdling down with a compelling force towards the top of the spacecraft, and sliced it into two halves!
The Tenshou warriors on the spacecraft screamed as if they had just seen a ghost, "It's... It's that kid! Why does he have scales on his legs? Is he human or spirit...."
They were staring at Chen Xiaobei holding the Dragon's Edge, his legs glowing in purple and gold. As he descended, he was emitting an intense bloodthirsty aura like a demon overlord.
BAM!
The spacecraft that was split in half exploded due to the combustion of fuel and the weapon's energy.
Flames licked the air in a terrific fireball, and thick, grey smoke rolled out like waves. The impact had destroyed the spacecraft and its passengers in its entirety.
Swoosh!
Chen Xiaobei was still riding on the Somersault Cloud as he appeared from within the smoke. He had his eyes on another spacecraft behind and made his way to it.
This Somersault Cloud was made by Yun Zhongzi himself using a Prosperous Cloud. It could not be that easily destroyed.
But Yun Zhongzi only made it as he was passing, which was why the Somersault Cloud was not very fast. In the near future, Chen Xiaobei would have to figure out a way to upgrade it.
"What happened? Why did aircraft one explode?"
Cries of shock came from the spacecraft trailing behind.
"We have a difficult enemy!" A high-level commander said. "Aircraft two to ten, form a battle formation immediately. Surround him and destroy that flying bastard!"
"Yes, sir!" His subordinates answered through the radio.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
All nine combat spacecraft came together and charged at full speed towards Chen Xiaobei.
They flew in a Vic formation so that they could defend each other and coordinate attacks, turning them into a bigger threat.
"Heh, I might've gotten a headache if you had formed a formation on land! But in the air, you guys are just a bunch of goons! How many you send is how many I will kill!"
Chen Xiaobei urged the Somersault Cloud forward, a fearless expression on his face.
All nine of the combat spacecraft opened fire, becoming like a firing network, flanking all corners and not allowing any blind space for Chen Xiaobei to attack.
"Penetrate the Nine Heavens!"
Unfortunately for them, Chen Xiaobei had, in his possession, more than a sufficient amount of Spiritual Stones. It was no problem for him to evade this level of attack.
Whoosh!
Chen Xiaobei's body flashed and he had moved about 10 meters away from the firing squad!
Whoosh!
The Somersault Cloud was a little slower but it caught up with Chen Xiaobei and managed to receive him in time.
Swoosh!
As elegant as a dragonfly dipping down into the water, Chen Xiaobei leaped onto the back of one of the spacecraft.
Klak!
Klak!
The sharp claws on his scaly feet pierced through the spacecraft's metal shell. No matter how fast they flew, Chen Xiaobei had a solid hold.
"Target locked! He's on top of aircraft two! Commander, please advise." The pilots of the other eight spacecraft asked.
Chen Xiaobei's position did not allow for them to fire.
If they did not fire, they could not hurt Chen Xiaobei.
But if they did, they might cause damage to aircraft two.
The commander thought for a moment and then answered, "Aircraft two, land your vehicle! Aircraft three to ten, surround aircraft two and kill that kid on the ground!"
Zing!
A sharp screeching sound filled the air, and everyone's attention turned to the source of the sound.
It was from Chen Xiaobei. The black saber he was holding was now replaced with a long, golden war bow and a blood-red longsword!
Chen Xiaobei drew the string of the bow, with the sword in place of an arrow, and fired the shot.
This was the Sunslayer Bow and Chaos Blood Sword combination!
Zing!
Upon the release of the sword, a blood-red light flashed across the skies. It was as if a terrifying crimson demon had torn through the air to baptize the filth of the place with blood!
BAM!
BAM!
There were four loud consecutive explosions.
The aircraft two that Chen Xiaobei was perched on was right in the middle of the spacecraft formation.
The blood colored sword, under the guarantee of a masterful shot, pierced straight through four combat spacecraft like a precision-guided missile!
All the Tenshou warriors on the four spacecraft blew up along with it!
"Open fire! Open fire immediately or the four spacecraft on the right will be blown up too!" The commander screamed into the radio. His heart nearly jumped out of his throat.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
All four of the remaining spacecraft on the right steered their aim and began firing at aircraft two.
"Dumbasses!"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled as his body flashed, evading all the incoming laser attacks.
BAM!
Aircraft two did not move out of the way and was hit by the beams of lasers and exploded. All of the Tenshou warriors aboard died in the hands of their comrades from friendly fire.
Zing!
Suddenly, the Chaos Blood Sword reappeared from a few hundred meters away leaving a blood-red trail of arc.
Its target was the four spacecraft on the right.
