Chapter 1402: Chapter 727: A World-Shocking Strategy
After five Star-Annihilating Starships arrived, the six captains didn’t engage in much conversation, merely nodding to each other in the newly connected communications group chat.
What they faced was a Ninth Rank Snake Demon with Ninth Rank extreme battle power. Even though they were the strongest batch of Star-Annihilating Starship captains from several large empires, the pressure they faced was immense, and naturally, there was no room for idle chatter.
They primarily confirmed their respective positions for subsequent combat.
After the six captains gave a brief overview of their flagships, the Star-Annihilating Starship Captain from the Shenxia Dynasty spoke:
"Let’s proceed this way. The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and Immortal Qin Xiaolong, along with the Eighth Rank Frenzy Talent Star Emperor Crocodile under my command, you three are responsible for close-quarters combat, engaging the Ninth Rank Snake Demon. The Bright Goddess, Eternal Red Dragon, and I will focus on firepower output, while Circulation Beidou will handle peripheral control."
"Alright!"
"Agreed!"
The attitudes of all six were very decisive, agreeing to this rather reasonable plan.
Next, the six Star-Annihilating Starships split into three groups.
The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and Immortal Qin Xiaolong advanced at the forefront, charging straight towards the location of the Ninth Rank Snake Demon, together with the Star Emperor Crocodile, which was partially displaying Ninth Rank combat power due to its frenzy state.
The Bright Goddess, Tianxia Jiuding, and Eternal Red Dragon hovered just below the crack in the Demon God Floating Land Shield, with their ship bows gathering various colored light clusters as they prepared their ship cannons.
Lastly, Circulation Beidou roamed on the outer perimeter, responsible for occasionally imposing various restrictions on the Ninth Rank Snake Demon.
The Star-Annihilating Starship "Circulation Beidou" was equipped with a mythical component called "Circulation Beidou Star Chain." This component could release a large number of star chains containing the Starlight Law, and these chains could easily traverse the void, catching opposing living beings off guard.
Not long after, with the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and Immortal Qin Xiaolong just beginning their frontal clash with the Ninth Rank Snake Demon, several star chains silently emerged from the void, quietly wrapping around two of the Snake Demon’s arms.
Although only two of the eight arms were bound, it still put considerable constraints on the Ninth Rank Snake Demon.
Seizing this opportunity, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, Immortal Qin Xiaolong, and the frenzied Star Emperor Crocodile launched their attacks, as their high-grade horns and crocodile teeth deeply embedded themselves into the Ninth Rank Snake Demon’s flesh.
Meanwhile, the three supporting Star-Annihilating Starships did not miss this timing either, as three formidable attacks pierced through the void one after another, precisely striking the Ninth Rank Snake Demon.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Suddenly, the blood red in the Snake Demon’s vertical pupils intensified, as it continuously hissed, clearly showing that the damage inflicted by the Star-Annihilating Starships was far from trivial.
Seeing this, Song Chi and the six had no surprise.
Such allocation was not a simple or arbitrary arrangement; it was strictly based on the configuration of each Star-Annihilating Starship.
For the two Star-Annihilating Starships responsible for close-quarters containment, both the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong and Immortal Qin Xiaolong were equipped with at least one colorful level piece of warship armor or energy shield, with Immortal Qin Xiaolong possessing both in colorful lower quality.
Excluding them, the three Star-Annihilating Starships responsible for long-range fire support were entirely equipped with colorful Star-Annihilation Cannons.
Swoosh!
Perceiving the troublesome nature of the six Star-Annihilating Starships before it, the Snake Demon’s vertical pupils abruptly shot out a gray ray.
"Be careful, it’s the ’Petrification Beam’!"
Song Chi’s warning sounded immediately in the communications group chat, but it was already too late.
The speed of the Petrification Beam was extremely fast, reaching close to the Star Emperor Crocodile in the blink of an eye.
Knowing that the ship surfaces of the two Star-Annihilating Starships had high-strength energy shield defenses, the Snake Demon targeted the Star Emperor Tomb instead of focusing on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong duo.
The Petrification Beam struck the side scales of the Star Emperor Tomb, quickly using this point as a center to spread its gray-white energy over the body of the Star Emperor Crocodile.
Although the Star Emperor Crocodile was currently bolstered by Ninth Rank energy, significantly slowing the spread of the gray-white energy, its reaction speed noticeably decreased.
The Eight-Armed Snake Demon would not miss such an opportunity, swinging its remaining six arms forward, wielding knives, stabbing spears, or clenching fists. Six arms, six different attack methods, all carrying nearly identical might, maintaining Ninth Rank extreme power.
The Star Emperor Crocodile wasn’t weak either, but if it were to withstand six rounds of attacks head-on, it would suffer severe injuries, if not fatal.
Observing this, Song Chi and the Immortal Qin Xiaolong captain made completely different decisions.
The Immortal Qin Xiaolong transformed into a gigantic meteor, launching directly towards the Ninth Rank Snake Demon’s body upfront, intending to encircle and save Zhao.
Meanwhile, Song Chi maneuvered the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong towards the Star Emperor Crocodile, summoning four warship projections mid-course.
The black component "Void Sea Projection Emperor Tomb" with its "Fourfold Projection" feature had summoned the four warship projections, which had considerable combat power. Under Song Chi’s command, the four warship projections charged at four of the Ninth Rank Snake Demon’s arms.
For the remaining two arms, he chose to activate the "Dragon Blood Demon-locking Chain."
The appearance of the Black Dragon Chain restrained the fifth arm, while the last arm was confronted directly by the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
As the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong completed its interception of the six arms, the Immortal Qin Xiaolong charged near the body of the Ninth Rank Snake Demon.
