Chapter 294: Seconds

Seeing this, Angel Leng and the others shed tears in unison, while simultaneously paying their respects to Moyi.

Ye Cang, upon boarding Heavenly Blade 7, immediately set up a formation, preparing to meet the enemy.

"Xuanwu Legion, deploy the Light Energy Shields! Hold the front row, set the energy supply for the Light Energy Shields to maximum, and remember to hold the shields with both hands!"

"Vermilion Bird Legion, line up in the middle! Keep a close watch on the surroundings; if there is any movement, open fire immediately!"

"The remaining three legions, protect the flanks to prevent the enemy from launching a sneak attack!"

As soon as his voice fell, the five legions began to shift their formations, completing the maneuver in just over ten seconds.

At this moment, seeing Ye Cang being so cautious, Angel Leng could not help but let out a disdainful "Tch."

"To set up such a formation just to deal with mere Shihao, how cowardly! Can't we just charge straight in?"

Saying this, Angel Leng flapped her wings and flew into the interior of Heavenly Blade 7, her speed so fast that Azhui and the others did not have time to stop her.

Leng had barely flown a few meters when a purple energy ball struck her, forcing her to retreat a few steps.

This scene made it difficult for Leng to keep a straight face.

Just a moment ago, she had said it was just mere Shihao and that charging in would suffice, yet the very next second, she had been hit.

Although she was not injured, it was extremely insulting.

"Damn it!"

Immediately, Leng drew her Flame Sword, intending to charge straight in. Azhui and the others, who were still mourning Moyi, saw that Leng had chosen to charge in and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Leng, don't be impulsive!" Azhui urged.

But how could the current Leng listen? She now had only one thought: charge in.

To avenge Moyi, and also to regain her lost face.

For a time, the sound of arguing was incessant.

This caused Ye Cang to frown.

At a time like this, you are arguing?

How could you be so careless? This is the enemy's territory!

"Quiet!" Ye Cang looked at Azhui and the others with a frown.

The next second, Azhui and the others immediately shut their mouths.

As for Leng, she looked unconvinced, "You tell me to be quiet, I will..."

Just as she said this, Qing Long, who was standing on the left side of the team, suddenly looked up at Leng.

Qing Long's cold gaze made Leng feel a wave of panic.

She suddenly remembered the pair of wings she had that were severed by Qing Long.

She then sullenly shut her mouth.

Finally, after it became quiet, Ye Cang began to issue orders.

"Advance forward! Maintain vigilance!"

The next second, the team began to move forward slowly, with Azhui and the other Angels following behind without a word.

The area of Heavenly Blade 7 was vast; the team walked for a full hour before reaching the central location.

It was also at this moment that the team finally encountered the enemy.

It was a squad of Shihao soldiers armed with firearms, but as soon as they poked their heads out, they were directly headshot by the Super Soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion.

After finishing off this squad of enemies, they continued to advance.

But on the remaining path, there was not a single enemy left; it was empty.

It was as if the Shihao had abandoned Heavenly Blade 7 after occupying it.

Even so, Ye Cang did not lower his guard and continued to lead the team forward cautiously.

Finally, Ye Cang led the team to the core area of Heavenly Blade 7.

That was the control hall of the Heavenly Blade.

"Stop."

Ye Cang called out to the team.

"Disperse the team, everyone take cover, and begin setting up defenses!"

"Qi Lin, you five, come with me into the hall!"

As the voice fell, the large team immediately dispersed, and in just over ten seconds, all the Super Soldiers had hidden themselves.

Only Ye Cang, Qi Lin and his four, and Azhui and her four remained at the scene.

Ignoring Azhui and the others, Ye Cang took a step and walked into the hall.

But before he had walked many steps, Xuanwu stepped forward and blocked Ye Cang's path, deploying the Light Energy Shield, the kind with the energy set to maximum.

Qing Long and the others followed closely behind, protecting Ye Cang 360 degrees from all directions.

This made Ye Cang feel somewhat helpless.

"I am not that fragile; there is no need to protect me like this. Let's just go in."

Upon hearing this, Qi Lin immediately replied: "Chief Engineer, you must not be careless!"

"We have only encountered one squad of enemies on our way here. The enemy is not stupid; how could they abandon such a strategic spaceship?"

"Then there is only one possibility: there must be something in the core area of this spaceship!"

"Therefore, we must protect you!"

Ye Cang naturally understood the point Qi Lin made, and he already knew more or less what was in the hall of Heavenly Blade 7.

It was nothing more than Shihao.

To tell the truth, Shihao did not pose any threat, so there was no need to be so nervous.

But the words reached his lips, and Ye Cang did not say them; he just nodded and, under the protection of Qi Lin and the others, walked into the hall of Heavenly Blade 7.

Azhui and the others followed closely behind.

Stepping into the hall, Ye Cang saw a blue and white Humanoid Mecha nearly 3 meters tall, sitting on the throne in the center of the hall.

Who else could it be but Shihao?

"You have finally come," Shihao, sitting on the throne, spoke up.

"I have been waiting for you for a long time, Earth's... hmm... according to Earth's titles, I should call you Chief Engineer Ye."

Ye Cang and the others did not speak, merely watching Shihao quietly.

Shihao, however, assumed Ye Cang and the others were intimidated by him, and his subsequent words carried a hint of smugness.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Shihao, the King of the Taotie, and the sole instigator of the invasion of your Earth, bar none."

"I heard from my subordinates that you are very powerful, so I specifically waited here for you alone, wanting to experience your prowess."

Ye Cang still did not speak, only looking at Shihao with an expressionless face.

Shihao had no intention of stopping either, continuing, "I do not like leaving survivors; I kill almost everyone I see. I hope this can stir your fighting spirit and make you use your full strength."

"Only then can I be satisfied."

"Also, do not count on the five Angels behind you; in my eyes, they are no different from roast geese."

The mention of roast geese made the expressions of Azhui and the others turn ugly.

But they did not make a move.

Because Azhui had read from Shihao's Dark Information that Karl had bestowed upon him a weapon specifically targeting Angels.

Before figuring out this weapon, they could not act rashly.

And at this moment, Ye Cang finally spoke.

"Are you finished? Is this your last will and testament?"

The words "last will" made Shihao very displeased; did he really think he was someone just because he called him Chief Engineer?

The next second, Shihao slowly stood up from the throne.

Seeing this, Azhui came to Ye Cang's side and whispered a warning.

"Ye Cang, do not be impulsive. I read his Dark Plane information, he..."

But before Azhui could finish speaking, Ye Cang said to the five Qi Lin, "3 seconds, end the battle."

As his voice fell, the five Qi Lin turned into phantoms and instantly arrived at Shihao's side, striking with their swords!

Shihao's mechanical body was hacked to pieces, and finally, a Qi Lin pierced through his brain with a sword.

With that, the battle ended.

Total time taken: 2 seconds.
