Chapter 1393: Chapter 726: Great Upheaval in Guangfu
“Hoo—”
The wild wind howled, mixed with icy rain, hitting faces with a bone-chilling cold.
Above Mide Mountain, Zhao Kai stood in the void with ice and snow unable to approach him even slightly.
Around him seemed to be an invisible energy field, isolating him from the icy rain.
Beside him was Li Qinghua, dressed in a blue trench coat.
At this moment, the space around him was slightly distorted, and the icy rain couldn’t touch him either.
Behind the two were a group of personnel, all of whom were experts at or above the Genetic Species Level, capable of flying through the air.
At this moment, both sides gathered together, all gazing in the direction of Cangqiong Mountain.
They saw the direction of Cangqiong Mountain, shrouded in mist and light, seemingly covered by a giant light membrane enveloping the entire Cloud Mist Island.
Zhao Kai frowned and said, “What on earth is the military doing?”
“It’s been so long, and neither Feng Jiangong nor Zhang Yujiang has sent anyone over to negotiate with us?”
Li Qinghua also frowned and said, “This matter reeks of strangeness. The military suddenly blocked Cangqiong Mountain and now completely disregards the Celestial Abyss pathway, withdrawing all forces back to Cloud Mist Island. The situation inside is completely unknown.”
“What does the person you sent to investigate say?” Zhao Kai asked.
Li Qinghua shook his head slightly, “No news has come back. I personally opened the portal and sent them in, but they haven’t come out.”
Zhao Kai said in a deep voice, “So we’re just going to wait here?”
Li Qinghua glanced at Zhao Kai and said, “What else can we do? If we rush in and there’s danger inside, wouldn’t we be walking into a trap?”
“But what if Brother Liang comes and asks us about the situation and we have no idea, what would that look like?”
Li Qinghua shook his head, “You’re overthinking it. Mr. Liang won’t blame us. Our main duty here is to guard Miyuan Rainforest and Yellow Earth Divine Origin. Monitoring the Guangfu Military is our secondary mission.”
“The last time the Guangfu Military launched a ship into the clouds, we notified the Inspection Department immediately. If we really have to act against the military, we should wait for Mr. Liang to make a decision.”
Zhao Kai sighed, “I’m just a bit anxious. We’ve trained to the Genetic Reorganization stage, when can we truly stand on our own?”
“It can’t always be Brother Liang leading the charge.”
Li Qinghua chuckled and said, “What we need is time. It’s been just over two years since the flood apocalypse, and we’ve reached the Genetic Reorganization Realm faster than many.”
“Didn’t you hear Mr. Liang say that Feng Jiangong, as the military’s top expert, is only at 20% progress in Genetic Reorganization. At our cultivation speed, we’ll catch up soon.”
“By then, with so many of us from Yangshan, the military will be engulfed by us sooner or later. Why take risky steps now?”
“If Mr. Liang were here, he wouldn’t agree for us to rush into Cloud Mist Island either.”
Zhao Kai thought for a moment, feeling that Li Qinghua made sense.
He asked, “What do you think happened with the military? Why such a sudden commotion?”
Li Qinghua slightly shook his head, “I can’t guess, it’s too sudden. But I do have a suspicion.”
“What is it?”
Li Qinghua pointed to the sky. Zhao Kai looked up at the dense cloud layer in the sky.
“The sky?”
“Yes, I feel this massive military operation might be related to their previous spaceship launch.”
Zhao Kai was startled and asked, “Do you think something powerful appeared in the sky, making the military so vigilant?”
“Not necessarily. If it were a particularly powerful creature, they should contact us quickly and find a way to cooperate.” Li Qinghua shook his head again, feeling his speculation might be flawed.
As they spoke, suddenly, a loud rumbling sound erupted in the sky!
Rumble!
They heard a series of loud explosions, and saw enormous ships breaking through the clouds, swooping down at high speed.
A rough count showed that there were more than twenty ships!
And as they dove downwards, they were accompanied by numerous Mutant Beasts!
Those Mutant Beasts seemed to be chasing the ships, yet the vessels skilfully dodged the beasts’ attacks.
At the same time, turrets opened on the ships.
Boom Boom Boom!
Continuous energy cannons erupted instantly.
The Mutant Beasts were rapidly shot by the light cannons, exploding into pieces, scattering bloody debris across the sky.
Within a breath, the Mutant Beasts chasing the ships were completely obliterated.
Afterwards, these ships hovered steadily in the air, seemingly observing the ground.
Seeing this, Zhao Kai and Li Qinghua’s faces changed simultaneously.
Li Qinghua said nothing, immediately waved his hand, tearing open an independent space.
The next instant, he brought Zhao Kai and the others into the space.
Concealed in the independent space he had opened, those ships seemed to have noticed something and aimed their turrets in this direction.
But after scanning, they didn’t find any people, and only then adjusted the turrets again.
Within the space, Zhao Kai looked grave and asked, “Who are those people?”
Li Qinghua shook his head, also looking serious, and said, “I don’t know. They came from above and might be related to the power on Floating Island.”
“Are you talking about Kerry Technology discovered by Yangshan No. 1 last time?”
“Yes.” Li Qinghua nodded slightly.
After waiting for a while, Li Qinghua reopened the space portal and stepped out to check the situation.
Outside, the sound of continuous cannon fire was loud.
In the sky, the ships were crisscrossing and laser cannon fire erupted non-stop.
The eastern side of Cangqiong Mountain had collapsed by more than half, and Cloud Mist Island, where the military was based, became the main target of these ships’ attacks!
Terrifying turrets sprayed out massive energy beams, furiously bombarding the defense shield outside Cloud Mist Island.
The military’s defense shield rippled with layers of waves, although it wasn’t entirely without counterattack capability.
From the island, similar energy beams of fire were constantly shot out.
These ships also had energy shields operating.
Able to withstand Thundercloud-level lightning storm shields, they naturally paid no mind to the offensive from the local forces.
The ships brazenly withstood the military’s laser cannons, blasting frenziedly for a while.
But the military’s defense shield was formidable, and the two sides seemed to be in a deadlock.
However, at that moment, among the dozens of ships, suddenly a few ships glowed with a faint azure light.
The space ahead seemed to undergo slight distortion.
The next moment, a terrifying green laser cannon fiercely shot out!
Boom!
The green energy cannon pierced through the void, violently blasting open the energy shield of Cloud Mist Island, tearing a hole in the massive energy shield!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, other ships madly bombarded the hole.
Instantly, it became a breakthrough point, being bombarded wildly.
The entire energy shield of Cloud Mist Island was instantly shattered, and the military equipment below roared as it exploded.
Inside Cloud Mist Island, a large number of agonizing screams constantly echoed.
“Woo—woo—”
Cloud Mist Island was immediately filled with the sound of sirens.
The next moment, dozens of fighter jets took off, furiously soaring into the sky to engage in aerial battle with the ships.
However, these planes clearly belonged to pre-apocalyptic technology and weren’t equipped with energy beam cannons or similar superpower weapons.
“It’s over, the military is going to lose!” Zhao Kai immediately shouted.
Li Qinghua shook his head: “Not necessarily, look at those planes, they have runes on them.”
Zhao Kai quickly looked over, and indeed, although those planes were still fuel-driven, their shells were equipped with some gun barrels, clearly marked with rune designs.
He was puzzled, wondering what rune technology these planes had.
The next moment, he saw the planes scatter, surround the dozens of ships, and furiously open fire!
Boom boom boom…!
As the gun barrels fired, pink bombs blasted out.
These bombs didn’t shoot out in the form of energy beams but presented a giant net-like shape. As they exploded in the air, they transformed into massive rune symbols!
With the appearance of these rune symbols, in an instant, the ships seemed to be silenced. All energy projectiles, and even kinetic engines, were silenced!
Moreover, some ships began to fall from the sky directly, crashing onto the ice surface and the mountains with a loud bang.
The crashing sounds exploded, and the ships shattered, their hulls ruptured, generating enormous shockwaves!
Seeing this scene, Zhao Kai exclaimed in shock: “Sealing Rune!”
The massive runes shot out by the military’s planes turned out to be sealing runes!
Li Qinghua immediately said: “The military has this trick up its sleeve; looks like they won’t lose this time.”
At this moment, he was speaking while pulling out his phone, unexpectedly recording the scene.
After hurriedly recording a segment, he said to Zhao Kai: “Let’s split up and see if we can capture two ships.”
“They might be useful later.”
“Okay!”
Hearing this, Zhao Kai’s eyes lit up, and the two of them immediately split up and rushed toward the direction of the fallen ships.
Not all ships exploded immediately after falling.
Some ships fell onto the ice layer, as the rising temperatures thinned the ice.
These ships directly fell into icy pits without exploding.
Li Qinghua arrived near a ship and saw people inside desperately crawling out of the ship.
Seeing Li Qinghua approaching, those people immediately shouted.
“Help, help!”
“Help me!”
“I’m not a Water Attribute Superpower User, quick, help me!”
Among these people, some shouted.
Li Qinghua waved his hand, directly knocking out these people and stuffing them into his personal space.
At the same time, he grabbed the ship and instantly stored it inside his space.
Meanwhile, things were even simpler on Zhao Kai’s side.
He rushed to the front of a ship, with some people already climbing out of the ship.
Without a word, Zhao Kai swiftly struck both palms together.
In an instant, terrifying icy cold swept over.
This group of people, along with the ship, was directly frozen.
He controlled the temperature to freeze the people without killing them outright.
He then reached out and grabbed the massive ice block, stuffing it into the Sumeru Ring that Liang Yuan gave him.
The two working together captured nearly seven to eight ships in less than a few minutes.
As for the rest, they either exploded into scrap heaps or were quickly controlled by the military personnel who arrived at the scene.
Zhao Kai and Li Qinghua didn’t linger too long, taking advantage of the situation and swiftly regrouping with seven or eight ships.
At the same time, a figure blocked their path.
“Stop!”
Li Qinghua and Zhao Kai looked over and saw Feng Jiangong had unexpectedly appeared before them.
Seeing Feng Jiangong, both of them were slightly startled.
Not because he suddenly appeared, but because Feng Jiangong’s current state was alarming to them.
Although Feng Jiangong still maintained a human form, his appearance had changed significantly.
Firstly, all his hair had fallen out, leaving him bald, with skin showing numerous scale-like horn layers.
His eyes had turned into vertical pupils, and his nose had collapsed, making his face appear extremely strange.
What was even more frightening was that his claws were no longer human hands but were in the shape of some creature’s claws.
He had only three thick fingers, with sharp nails like hooks.
“You, are you Feng Jiangong?”
Zhao Kai asked in horror.
Feng Jiangong looked at Zhao Kai with cold eyes and said: “Both of you, leave the ships behind!”
