Chapter 59: This Isn't Right!

I saw those sky-covering fighters immediately split into two groups, then advance toward Tianhe City at full speed.

In just a few minutes, they arrived above their destination.

At this time, those Taotie who had already reported the situation in Tianhe City had received orders and were preparing to evacuate.

But before they could act, two small missiles descended from the sky and exploded directly among the Taotie soldiers.

Even though the Taotie soldiers were wearing black armor, the shockwave generated by the small missile explosions still cost them their lives.

"Enemy attack! We're under attack!" a Taotie squad leader shouted.

"Everyone, scatter immediately and counterattack!"

However, the moment his words fell, a blue particle beam pierced directly through his chest, vaporizing his black armor and his body tissue entirely.

Only then did the remaining Taotie soldiers react.

Unfortunately, it was already too late; what greeted them was an overwhelming swarm of Baidi Aerospace Fighters.

Countless small missiles and blue particle beams descended from the sky, precisely hitting every Taotie soldier wearing black armor.

In just a single encounter, the Taotie soldiers lost more than half their number.

The surviving Taotie soldiers looked at the pure black, eagle-claw-like Baidi Aerospace Fighters, and a wave of fear gripped their hearts.

How could Earth have such fighters?!

These fighters looked almost monolithic from the outside, with no visible gaps on the fuselage, and even more terrifying was their extreme speed!

Fear made the Taotie soldiers shout uncontrollably: "Support! Send support quickly!"

"The Earthlings have started to counterattack!"

As the words fell, more Taotie soldiers flew out from the Main Capital Ship to provide support.

However, no matter how many Taotie soldiers came, it was useless; how could they possibly keep up with the speed of the Baidi Aerospace Fighters?

Ye Cang, who was on the Luan Bird One, saw this scene through real-time monitoring.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

Did they really think the Baidi Aerospace Fighters were cheap knockoffs?

Although they were called aerospace fighters, they actually excelled at flexible low-altitude combat, not to mention they were being controlled by Zhizi.

For those Taotie soldiers to want to touch them was simply a pipe dream.

The old man beside Ye Cang watched the real-time monitoring and nodded continuously.

"Good! Excellent!"

"Give those alien bastards a good beating!"

But having said that, the old man was a bit puzzled.

"However, Xiao Cang, are these aliens a bit too weak? If this is their level, to put it bluntly, not only is the Xiongbing Lian redundant, but your Nantianmen Project isn't even needed!"

After hearing this, Ye Cang did not answer immediately.

Instead, he switched the real-time monitoring to the feed from the Xuannv Aerospace Fighters.

Then Ye Cang said: "The Taotie soldiers are of course not that simple; what you just saw were merely their ordinary warriors."

"We are currently using a fighter swarm to deal with Taotie soldiers, so it is naturally simple."

"That is a torrent of steel; even if the Taotie soldiers have excellent physical constitutions, how could they compare to fighters? This counts as us bullying them."

Ye Cang's words made the old man laugh heartily.

"The Taotie came to invade us, so how did it turn into us bullying them? You kid!"

Ye Cang shrugged slightly, looking innocent.

"That was just an analogy."

"Back to the main point, these Taotie are not weak at all. Look!"

Then Ye Cang pointed at the screen.

On the screen, there was a warship fitted with a huge cross-ring.

The Xuannv Aerospace Fighters were launching a fierce attack on the warship.

But no matter what kind of attack was launched, it was blocked by a pale yellow light screen.

"Look, this is a Taotie main warship. This warship is equipped with a Light Energy Barrier. Not only can the Xuannv not break this barrier, but even dropping the nuclear bombs from the Luan Bird wouldn't blast through it."

"At the current stage, on Earth, the Light Energy Barrier is invincible."

Having said this, Ye Cang paused.

"What's more, the Taotie don't just have the Light Energy Barrier; they have other things too."

Upon hearing this, the old man hurriedly asked: "What other things? Tell me quickly, stop keeping me in suspense!"

But Ye Cang shook his head.

"When the Xiongbing Lian arrives, you will know!"

This answer from Ye Cang made the old man feel very uncomfortable, but he did not press further.

Since Ye Cang said so, there must be a reason; even if he pressed for an answer, he might not understand it anyway.

Better to wait a little longer!

Although the old man thought about waiting, his gaze remained fixed on the screen from beginning to end.

Meanwhile, Ye Cang suddenly received a report from Zhizi.

"Report, 5 Baidi Aerospace Fighters have been destroyed, and 2 Xuannv Aerospace Fighters have been destroyed."

Hearing this, Ye Cang raised an eyebrow.

"What happened?"

"The Taotie side has reacted and started mobilizing fire-support ships and destroyers to counterattack, which is why 5 Baidi Aerospace Fighters were lost."

"And the other two Xuannv were destroyed by two Humanoid Mecha."

Humanoid Mecha?

Oh, I remember now.

The Taotie's purely mechanical modified soldiers, one is named Fenglei, the other Xiong Lu.

It means that except for the brain, the entire body has been replaced with machinery.

How did that saying go again?

Flesh is weak, Mechanical Ascension.

Ye Cang had originally planned that if there were no Gene Optimization Technology, he would take this path.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Cang said: "Pull out half of the Xuannv Aerospace Fighters to support the White Emperor Fighters; while ensuring your own safety, attack with full force for me, and also activate the fighters' semi-limit state."

"Received!" Zhizi replied.

The next second, the speed of all the aerospace fighters increased by another notch.

As the fighters flew across the sky, they left behind afterimages, which left the Taotie soldiers stunned.

This script is not right!

How did the speed of these fighters increase by so much again?

Before the Taotie soldier could think much more, a missile slammed right into him, blowing him directly into minced meat.

At the same time, half of those Xuannv Aerospace Fighters surrounding the Taotie Main Battleship immediately left, joined the battlefield below, and together with the White Emperor Fighters, toyed with the Taotie soldiers.

The other half of the Xuannv Aerospace Fighters continued to attack the Taotie Main Battleship, though they also spread out significantly and increased their attack frequency.

In an instant, the entire sky over Tianhe City was illuminated as brightly as day by the light produced by the explosions.

Meanwhile, Xiong Lu and Fenglei, inside the Light Energy Barrier, looked at the Xuannv Aerospace Fighters attacking their ship, and both of them felt a headache coming on.

Xiong Lu spoke up: "Fenglei, I remember the vanguard didn't say there were fighters of this speed on Earth!"

After hearing this, Fenglei responded: "What is there to fear? No matter how fast the fighters are, what is the use? They cannot break through our Light Energy Barrier at all; it is nothing but a death struggle!"

After saying this, Fenglei did not give Xiong Lu a chance to speak and charged directly out of the Light Energy Barrier.

This made Xiong Lu shake his head repeatedly as he watched.
