CSMCDB - Chapter 125
Chapter 125
The Star Cannons rained down, and the few Fu members joined forces to block all the projectiles. Wen Yuncheng wasn't in a hurry; she just let the Star Cannons bombard them at will. She summoned Number One and Number Two, then raised her hand to call forth the remaining fifty-eight C-02 Enemy-Annihilators and thirty-eight turrets. For now, she wouldn't spend points on special ammunition, relying solely on Star Power blasts!
Wen Yuncheng took out a Communication Stone and contacted Senior Lu Manfeng. "Senior, could one of you and Senior Tan Xingyu reveal yourselves to help fend them off, while the other remains hidden? We need to see if 'Fu' has any other tricks up their sleeve. If they try to run, you can catch them off guard."
The Star King on the other end of the stone agreed in a low voice. The next second, Tan Xingyu, a Star King 2nd Layer, tore through the air. He threw six black chess pieces, sealing off the area around their Star King 3rd Layer opponent! Xiao Shi'er's eyes lit up, and she pounced forward, her massive fox tails smashing down with the force of Star Power. The attack was so fast and fierce that the 'Fu' leader found it difficult to block. Gritting his teeth, he summoned an ancient mirror, crashing it against the six black chess pieces, and turned to face the fox tails head-on!
The mirror shattered in an instant. As the explosive energy of its destruction momentarily halted the black chess pieces, the broken shards shot toward Tan Xingyu.
He had actually destroyed a Yellow-rank Spirit Treasure just like that…
"Leave the Star King 3rd Layer to Senior Tan and the little fox!" Wen Yuncheng shouted, controlling the Star Cannons to continue their relentless bombardment. The people from Fu didn't want this estate reduced to rubble, so they had to spare two people to defend against the cannon fire. Zhao Ruan Yue could hold back one Star King, and Cheng Jiangliu's two brothers could keep another one busy. Wen Yuncheng ordered Number One and Number Two to engage a member at the 1st Layer of Star Spirit. The remaining Star Spirits were left to Cheng Jiangliu and Zhao Qiuyu. It was incredibly difficult for the two of them to handle four opponents, but thankfully, the constant harassment from the C-02 Enemy-Annihilators and turrets kept them from being defeated.
Had the situation reached a stalemate? No.
As Number One and Number Two flanked the Star Spirit 1st Layer, Wen Yuncheng saw her chance and instantly swapped places with Number One, using an Launching Slide to launch the man into the air. A Stun Grenade followed immediately. Wen Yuncheng didn't use any other attacks; instead, she lifted the Mountain River Seal with both hands and smashed it down, while simultaneously controlling the Flying Sky Shuttle with her mind—a dual assault!
Boom!-
The Star Spirit 1st Layer coughed up blood continuously under the crushing weight of the Mountain River Seal, while his consciousness was wracked with a piercing pain from the Flying Sky Shuttle, making it impossible for him to defend himself. Wen Yuncheng landed a Piercing Kick on his chest, and a steel spike shot out from her mechanical armguard, plunging directly into his throat!
First kill!
Probably no one present had expected that the first person to secure a kill would be Wen Yuncheng, a Star Lord 3rd Layer…
With 51050 experience points in hand, Wen Yuncheng hurried back. Just as the Launching Slide's duration was about to end, she used it again as a movement skill, not breathing a sigh of relief until she was back among her Star Cannons. In a battlefield like this, wouldn't she become a living target if she took to the sky with her Mechanical Wings?
With one enemy down, Number One and Number Two went to help Cheng Jiangliu and the others, and the tide of battle slowly began to change.
"Damn it!" the Star King 3rd Layer roared in fury. Unfortunately for him, his opponents were a Star King 2nd Layer and a Star King 1st Layer. Even if he could fight the man and beast to a standstill, he was completely tied down. "What are you all doing?! Go destroy those turrets and capture that kid!" He was livid when he saw the two Star Spirits meticulously using various techniques and spirit treasures to block the Star Cannon attacks, showing no intention of cutting off the source.
Startled by the shout, the two finally snapped out of it. That's right, how long were they supposed to just stand here blocking cannonballs?
"Why are you still holding back? If you can't even deal with these brats, forget about making a contribution, you'll be a complete disgrace!"
"Heh, your 'Fu' is so infamous, you don't even have a face. Are you really afraid of losing it?" Just as Qi Nian spat out this taunt, he saw his Star King opponent suddenly summon a Profound-rank Ancient Pagoda. It smashed down, breaking his precious halberd. If Yue Qi hadn't reacted quickly and unleashed a burst of Star Power to distract the Star King, Qi Nian might have been hit.
Boom! Boom! Boom!-
The Star Cannons finally struck the estate's buildings, sending tiles and debris flying. Panicked shouts erupted from within the estate as a bead rose into the air, forming a thin membrane that temporarily protected the entire compound.
Two Star Spirits shot toward Wen Yuncheng, ignoring the Star Cannons and turrets around them. However, as they passed the turrets, a massive explosion engulfed them!
The energy cores could explode. The fuller their energy storage, the better the effect. The old Wen Yuncheng had been poor and had never faced this kind of opponent, so she had never used this cash-burning self-destruct tactic. But now?
Thirty points was just the price of a salt-baked chicken. Besides, these turrets had now been replaced by Star Cannons. Detonate! Killing Star Spirits for this price was a massive profit!
Flame Rounds were loaded. 116 points evaporated in an instant. The C-02 Enemy-Annihilators in the air simultaneously fired Flame Rounds at the two Star Spirits in the center of the explosion! A massive wave of heat and another explosion swallowed them whole.
Still no experience notification?
With a thought, Wen Yuncheng swiveled the muzzles of her Star Cannons, aiming them all at the center of the blast. She soared into the air with her Mechanical Wings and activated the Mountain River Seal once more-
With a deafening boom, the ground itself seemed to tremble for a moment. 51050, 52050. Experience gained.
Wen Yuncheng quickly deactivated her Mechanical Wings and landed. She walked over to the turrets that had been too far from the two Star Spirits to self-destruct and recalled them one by one.
"You brat!—"
"Wen Yuncheng!"
Space distorted. There was another 'Fu' member lying in ambush? A Star King 3rd Layer—another sneaky one!
With a single thought, the Blue Flower Shield instantly expanded to its maximum size, and the Defensive Jade shot into the air! However, the man simply grabbed at it, and fine cracks spread across the Defensive Jade before it crumbled into dust.
Should she use a defensive scroll? The thought flashed through Wen Yuncheng's mind and was immediately dismissed. It could block a strike from a Star Venerate. Waste it on this Star King 3rd Layer? Did he think he was worthy? The black shadow from her bracelet flashed out but was easily crushed. Wen Yuncheng sneered internally as the Blue Flower Shield glowed brightly. The man's fist struck the shield, but before his Star Power could erupt, she instantly recalled it.
Swap positions with Number Two! Recall Number Two!
Star Cannons, detonate!
A moment ago, Wen Yuncheng had been standing in the heart of her Star Cannon formation. The man had charged straight at her, intending to capture her alive… Twelve Star Cannons exploded at once! The massive blast drew everyone's attention. The power of a Star Cannon's explosion was several times greater than that of a regular turret.
It wasn't just those twelve Star Cannons. The other cannons not under her direct control were also hit by the shockwave. The gold paint shattered, and large chunks of sea crystal vanished. The cannons closest to the blast were reduced to a single energy core wrapped in a thin layer of gold paint, which then fell to the ground.
…Hiss. Wen Yuncheng's eyes turned red. Having swapped places with Number Two, she now faced the three Star Spirits who were fighting Zhao Qiuyu and Cheng Jiangliu. Eyes blazing, she raised the Mountain River Seal and smashed it down viciously. She followed up with a Stun Grenade, then regular grenades and flame exploders. She cast Apostle Evolution on Number One. A random strength buff?
Charge!
What a loss, what a huge loss! Why was the Star Cannon explosion so powerful? She had really suffered a massive loss! Of all the things she had calculated, she never thought she would be the one to cause her own downfall!
Although the ambushing Star King 3rd Layer didn't yield any experience, he had gone silent. He was likely either severely injured or unconscious—in any case, he was out of the fight.
Wen Yuncheng glared hatefully at the three Star Spirits opposite her. "Senior Sister, Senior Brother, I have control abilities. Coordinate with me…"
Hearing this, the three Star Spirits immediately became wary and stopped fighting at close range. When they saw Wen Yuncheng charge forward to smash them with the Mountain River Seal, they hesitated for a moment, and all three chose to dodge? Number One suddenly dashed forward and slammed into one of them. The man was about to unleash his Star Power to send Number One flying, but before he could even muster his energy, his body was sent hurtling away by an immense force-
Th-this robot wasn't this strong before?!
Wen Yuncheng paid him no mind. Seeing the man lose control, she shot the Flying Sky Shuttle at him. She turned and used the Mountain River Seal to block the other two who were trying to intercept. Cheng Jiangliu had already taken over the assault, unleashing several punches of Star Power and coughing up a mouthful of essence blood to hold back the two opponents!
Meanwhile, as the isolated Star Spirit was struck by the Flying Sky Shuttle, Zhao Qiuyu threw one of her meteor hammers from a distance. Then, taking to the air with her Mechanical Wings, she violently smashed her remaining meteor hammer down on one of the Star Spirits attacking Cheng Jiangliu.
His sea of consciousness was shaken by the Flying Sky Shuttle, and he was coughing up blood from the meteor hammer's impact. Wen Yuncheng couldn't bear to let him suffer. She closed the distance quickly with her Mechanical Wings, and a steel spike shot out, giving him a swift end.
56050 experience points gained. Without further delay, Wen Yuncheng raised her hand and summoned Predators, sending three small machines to circle each of the two remaining Star Spirits. Then she deployed a Viper Cannon, found an opening, and used an Launching Slide, followed by a Piercing Kick!
Three against two. The two Star Spirits were quickly defeated. Wen Yuncheng killed one of them, while Zhao Qiuyu shattered the other's internal organs with her hammer, killing him instantly.
Wen Yuncheng flew back to her pile of Star Cannons and ordered the remaining ones to continue bombarding the estate. The small bead in the sky couldn't hold on for much longer and shattered into specks of light after a few more hits. She then went to the blast crater to finish off the Star King. With no time to search for loot or assess her losses, she took to the air with her Mechanical Wings and flew toward the other 'Fu' members. As a Star Lord 3rd Layer, her skill damage might not be that high, but her control skills were top-notch. With the added interference of the Flying Sky Shuttle, her entry into the battle would quickly break the stalemate.
"Damn it, we've fallen into a trap." The Star King 3rd Layer leader felt his blood boil, and he was so enraged that he spat out a mouthful. He angrily struck Tan Xingyu's chest but used the momentum to retreat rapidly. "Retreat! Retreat! Abandon this place!"
Retreat? You've already come all this way, why leave now?
The trapping formation they had set up earlier now activated. Although it could only hold them for a moment, it was enough-
In that brief moment of stagnation, Lu Manfeng struck decisively. With a burst of Star Power, she sliced off the leader's head with a single slash!
