Chapter 983: Combat 1

In the vast forest, a dark green flying ship flew speedily just above the trees. The strange thing was that with the ship flying at that speed, it did not bring about the slightest surge of wind and air flow, as if it was just brushing off a welcome gesture.

The sun above shone mercilessly with its fiery gold rays. A mild trace of translucent distortive force rose in the air.

Zoom...

A giant black squid was floating mid-air, its many tentacles waving about, blocking the flying ship's path.

With a whiff, a five-metre thick tentacle went flying towards the flying ship. It seemed to view the flying ship as its prey and started to attack.

At an inhuman pace and faster than a bullet, the tentacle was already in front of the ship.

"Turn around!" A female's voice rang out coldly from the flying ship. Suddenly, the flying ship was like a small green bug, turning sharply to the left, and thus missing the giant tentacle by just a few millimeters.

"Recalculate! Accelerate!" The female voice shouted again.

White flames emitted from the back of the flying ship as it accelerated and soared through the side of the squid, disappearing within the trees in seconds.

Inside the flying ship.

Yiling had a cold hard expression, staring intently at the scene in front of her. Garen and Joey were standing towards her right, one had his arms around his chest, the other was leaning against the wall, silently staring through the high-strength glass window as everything passed by in high speed.

Large tracts of scenery constantly backed up from the edge of the windows, blatantly showing how terrifyingly fast the flying ship was travelling at.

"Our target this time is a small base in the Dragon Eye Sect. There's about 15 of them, among them there are three people that you have to look out for who are Level Three Machinists and above, one of them should be a Level Four." Joey seemed to have something in his ears as he was reporting accordingly to what he heard.

"What rank is the Level Four one?" Garen lowered his voice and asked.

"I'm not sure, but as long as they're not the top ones, we don't have to worry about the others," Joey replied with a reassuring smile.

"How's the situation on the mutated monsters nearby?" Yiling was concerned on other matters.

"The mutated monsters are all below Level Two, seems like this base was probably a location where some Level Four Energy Machinist chose to bring other disciples and so to carry out their quests... Haha, luck is on our side! Our first call and we're already meeting such excellent prey!" Joey exclaimed excitedly.

"Are you sure that there are no powerhouses?" Yiling asked.

"Most probably no, my Pentatonic Bats surveyed the surroundings within a ten kilometer radius and they did not sense any trace of high energy." Joey's Pentatonic Bats lent the help of the flying ship's equipment to investigate a vast range of area.

"We are soon approaching the high-pressure area. Garen, it is up to you then." Joey cast a glance towards Garen.

"Leave it to me," Garen nodded.

The three of them had already left the snow peak station for three days. Just being on this planet's vast earth travelling for three days straight yet they just left the Scarlet Snow Mountain terrain and entered the communal area before the Dragon Eye Sect.

This communal area was extremely huge. Its surface area was probably three times bigger than both Sects. It even had many dangerous places in between, fortunately, they had the communal map back from the sect, or else the three of them would never have been able to find the Dragon Eye Sect's small base that easily.

The flying ship soared through the threes into the air, soon enough they noticed a small, white circle base in front of them. The base was built on the grounds and was really conspicuous.

"Those idiots, I wouldn't even dare to use such a bright color, they really are seeking death!" Joey let out a laugh.

"Let's finish this quick." Yiling said in a low voice.

Garen and Joey nodded in agreement.

Whoosh!

The flying ship's side door opened gently and three figures leapt down from more than twenty meters above in the sky. Each of them had on a pair of gliding wings and with it, glided smoothly towards the white base skillfully.

Inside the base, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face was explaining something to a few Energy Machinist junior brothers and sisters. All of a sudden, he sensed something was off and looked towards the sky.

"It's the hunters from the Scarlet Snow Sect! Red alert!!!"

His expression changed instantaneously and he roared.

At that very instant, an ear-piercing alarm rang through the base as a dozen of young people stood up in panic. Each of them pulled out their guns, missile launchers and other weapons, and aimed at the three people gliding down from the sky.

However, a strong trace of Magnetic Field swept through and the alarm stopped immediately. All the metal weapons suddenly failed to work; a person who was carrying a missile launcher even got hit by the missile that suddenly exploded on his shoulder. He picked himself up and had ashes on his face; it was obvious he had suffered a severe injury from the explosion.

"Idiot! You actually dared to use a Pilot's weapon without the protection of an energy field. A Pilot's long-range attack is the easiest to interfere!" Joey yelled arrogantly in the sky.

"They are just Level One or Two Energy Machinists, you don't need these weapons, your own energy machine is just an investigative standard, how are you going to save yourself? You're thinking too highly of them." Garen did not have a liking towards Yiling, so naturally, he was slightly closer to Joey.

The three of them fell from the sky and landed with a thud inside the base, each of them threw a high magnetic interference force field device to the ground which exploded within seconds.

Such a magnetic field device could last for an hour. Every living creature covered in the range within this period of time would be carrying a strong disturbance of magnetic energy and would not be able to use any weapons consisting of metal parts.

Suddenly, a white beam of light shot straight at Joey's face who was taking the lead.

"Huh? Plastic missile?" Joey smiled. As the missile was about to hit him, he swerved to the side suddenly and with his sharp nails, he instantly tore apart the external shell of the missile as if he was peeling off the skin of a banana.

The missile components scattered onto the ground with a clatter without exploding.

"The both of you split between yourselves, I'll take care of here." Without another word, Yiling dashed towards the Level Four Energy Machinist.

A few Black Panthers shot out in lightning speed, seems like they were energy machine biochemical beasts, but they were caught between Yiling's palms, instantly turned into ice blocks and fell onto the ground, unable to move.

Her body instantly turned into a black thread as she darted towards the middle-aged man with a scar. The moment the both of them started fighting, ice pieces and a pale yellow mist gradually dispersed from the flying ship.

Garen and Joey rushed towards the remaining Energy Machinists, getting rid of an Energy Machinist every now and then. A Level Four Energy Machinist against a Level One or Two was basically a heartless massacre. Not using any high-tech metal weapons in addition to the huge difference in practicing secret methods, even when a crowd of energy machine baboons pounced on them, a strong surge of Frost was released from their bodies and delayed the baboons' movements. The baboons could not even catch up with their shadows, and could only scream in excruciating pain.

Screams were constantly ringing in the air.

Garen crashed into the arms of an Energy Machinist, elbow hitting the man directly above his heart. Garen turned around with a kick and hit the white shadow that pounced on him from behind. Garen's body turned swiftly several times and within seconds, another four or five Energy Machinists were frozen to death.

Suddenly, he realized that there was nobody else in the surroundings so he glanced over to Joey's side, broken limbs and wreckage were everywhere, blood was streaming down his right finger, it was extremely gory.

"And we are done." Joey smiled triumphantly.

There was about ten or so Energy Machinists, all killed by two people in just a blink of an eye. These young prodigies would not even get the chance to enjoy the luxurious life an Energy Machinist could bring, each corpse still had a look of shock and disbelief on their face.

"You all want to die!!" With a howl, a shimmer of gold light fleeted across the Dragon Eye Sect middle-aged man's eyes. A gold crack split open between his eyes, shooting a dazzling beam of gold light straight at Yiling.

"Humph!" Yiling activated Scarlet Snow Technique, a strong surge of Frost exploded from her body, covering her entire body in huge mass of a sticky white snow storm. Instead of retreating, she made her way towards the gold light.

The gold light imitated the storm and rushed forward, the instant they made contact, the gold light was straight away gobbled up by the storm soundlessly.

The middle-aged Energy Machinist actually escaped to a few hundred meters away and threw himself at a well-hidden yellow-green flying ship as its cabin door open slowly.

"Blizzard!" Yiling pointed at the flying ship. A white block flew out from her body towards the flying ship.

The snow block was moving in a seemingly vicious speed, almost covering few hundred meters of distance in a blink of an eye, hitting the slightly flickering ship.

Boom!

The flying ship was set ablaze. Instead of freezing once hit by the snow block, it exploded. The middle-aged Energy Machinist was shot back violently, as he was drifting through the air with a shocked expression on his face, Yiling pointed a shard of Frost at him puncturing him between the eyes. He fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.

"Let's gather up all our trophy goods, we leave after ten minutes." Throwing her last sentence, Yiling made her way towards the Level Four Energy Machinist.

Garen and Joey nodded silently and began to search the corpse's bodies and loot the base.

********************

Ten minutes later.

Yiling, Garen and the others' flying ship gradually rose up into the sky and soared into the distance.

At the same time, inside the entire communal area, big and small groups of the Scarlet Snow Sect were frantically moving in the direction of the Dragon Eye Sect for the ranked fight.

Approximately ten elite groups including Yiling and the two others were making their way towards Dragon Eye Sect's base, the battle was getting intense.

Clang!!

Garen punched the palms of the beautiful woman with yellow eyes who was opposite him. Each of them took turns and laid a dozen of hard punches in a second, every punch causing a strong burst of sound. Both of them were Level Four Energy Machinists, with such a short period of time, they would not be able to make out who was the stronger one. In order to truly test out who was the winner of the both, they needed more than half an hour at least.

There were corpses and bones lying around everywhere. Yiling led Joey and Garen to attack this small base, but they did not expect the opposing powerhouses would not be in and just came back. The opposing powerhouses were also three Level Four Energy Machinists. Three against three, a direct battle broke out straight away.

Garen seemed as if he was giving his full strength keeping his opponent in a lock, maintaining the standard of a normal Level Four Energy Machinist, but in reality, he was just observing the fight over at Joey's and Yiling's.

"Fanged Hound!"

The woman let out a growled and a khaki colored enormous wolf pounced out from behind and bit Garen on his side.
