Chapter 2103 Tempest God!

Wuying Lan looked at the tides of prisoners on the surveillance light beam who looked like ferocious beasts in silence.

They were more like zombies and devils that were filled up with hatred, anger, and craziness than living human beings. Fearless of death, they pushed forward relentlessly, sometimes even not in search for a chance of survival but for the place where the Immortal Cultivators were densest so that they could die together with the Immortal Cultivators in the cruelest and most violent ways.

After looting a lot of latest magical equipment that was still being experimented from the warehouse affiliated to the laboratory, the lunatics had an even greater damage than before. Very soon, they broke through the channel between the laboratory and the central area of “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”.

In the meantime, the guards of “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky” organized a few counterattacks. The well-trained Exos blew back the zealous lunatics more than easily. As a result, “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky” was riddled with holes. The serial explosions led to a chain reaction, causing hundreds of holes on the outmost wall of the space fortress. Tremendous Immortal Cultivators and prisoners were sucked out, drifting into the dark, cold universe. Inside “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”, a lot of vacuumed, unpopulated areas had appeared.

Watching countless invaluable experiment facilities and dead bodies of the specialists floating in the vacuum or even sucked out of the space fortress altogether, Wuying Lan felt that his own internal organs were being sucked out of his body too.

His heart was truly aching more than ever!

“You—”

Glowering at the captain of guards, Wuying Lan asked, “Do you have any way to stop those lunatics?”

“It’s very difficult.”

Faced with Wuying Lan’s eyes that were brimming with killing intent, the captain of guards had no choice except to explain in fear, “My lord, as you have seen, the prisoners have occupied the entire experiment area and released abundant mutated beasts which have been through strengthening procedures. They are proliferating in the experiment area like a pandemic and infiltrating into the central living quarters. But it is impossible for us to shut off all the gates from the experiment area to the central area.

“Even if we do find a way to shut them off, it won’t be a difficult task to blow up the gates by force. After all, we never considered the possibility of a ‘street fight’ within ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ when the space fortress was designed at the beginning!

“Besides, we are now seriously short of hands, and we have to attack very cautiously. It is impossible for us to defend every pathway leading to the central area!

“Given five times—no, only three times more soldiers, I’ll be confident to annihilate all the prisoners. But the losses caused to ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ will be beyond our concerns.”

Wuying Lan’s lips trembled for a long time before the desperation in his eyes turned into infinite wrath.

“Somebody must be behind all this.”

Wuying Lan gnashed his teeth. “The prisoners couldn’t have run loose for no good reason. Our network couldn’t have been hacked so easily either!”

“Then—”

Thinking for a moment, the captain of the guards said, “Should we cut off the stream?”

The coldness beaming out of Wuying Lan’s eyes made the captain of guards tremble harder than ever before in his entire life. He berated, “Have you lost your mind? Do you have any idea what ‘Dying Light’ means for the Heavenly Eye Group as an epic quest? Everything! It means everything! Nothing can possibly stop the stream from going on!

“Now, I want you to block the goddamn prisoners with your guards in person, stop their passionate momentum, and find out whoever is behind them by the way. Then, I will take action in person. Whoever they are, I will dig out their hearts and livers and devour them right in front of their faces!”

“Yes, sir!”

The captain of the guards stood at attention and ran off in a hurry under Wuying Lan’s pressure.

Wuying Lan continued staring at the picture on the light beam that was half ocean and half fire, with the muscles and the veins on his face cramping at the same time. Eventually, he signed and reached out to “Tornado”, Li Lingfeng’s flagship.

Li Lingfeng was making progress very smoothly.

From the enormous light beam of the mainframe crystal processor of Tornado behind him, it could be clearly seen that a large starship of the coalition fleet of Starlight was exploding slowly and consumed by countless fireballs that looked like tumors. Li Lingfeng’s face was full of confidence under the illumination of the colorful flames. He appeared as certain of his victory as Wuying Lan was ten minutes ago.

But only three minutes later, his face was completely frozen first like Wuying Lan right now, before thousands of cracks showed up, and it completely collapsed.

Li Lingfeng craned his face to the crystal camera, filling the entire light beam so that Wuying Lan could see with his enormous face. “What did you mean? Mysterious intruders have set free all the prisoners of the beehive prison, who are now posing a threat to the central area of ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’? What kind of ‘mysterious intruders’ could’ve possibly achieved something so incredible?”

“I’m on it.”

Slightly frowning, Wuying Lan replied briefly, “But I need time and reinforcements. It is impossible for us to hold for long with the available forces of ‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ right now.”

Li Lingfeng glared at Wuying Lan in fury.

Wuying Lan glared back at Li Lingfeng too, without saying anything.

Li Lingfeng and he were partners and not in a pure chain of command. Although the man had always been the greatest patron at his back, he had also provided incessant support for Li Lingfeng in the past decades and learned a lot of his secrets.

They had been on the same boat for a long time. Now that the boat was on fire, it was not a good time to decide who was more guilty of the accident.

As he expected, Li Lingfeng took a deep breath and calmed himself down. “How is the sabotage going right now?”

…

Like a furiously burning devil from hell, Li Yao roamed at the pathways of the central area of “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”.

After opening a dozen gates leading to the central area through the most violent approaches, he asked the prisoners to freely attack and left the main troop for now.

There was only one reason for that.

His attacks were too brutal, too violent, and too wide. It was unsuitable for him to fight together with the common prisoners.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The cabins behind Li Yao were exploding all the time, bursting out overwhelming blasts and flames of spiritual energy.

Countless Immortal Cultivators were screaming in the flames as they were burned into ashes, but Li Yao did not even bother to look back for even once.

In his eyes, “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky” seemed to have become an undefended, transparent city. He could clearly sense the flow inside every tube that transmitted spiritual energy and the mobilization of the panicked and helpless guards, which made it easier for him to select his targets and march at them without meaningless slaughters.

His targets were the many warehouses of crystals and assets in the enormous space fortress.

After every warehouse of crystals he found, he would absorb abundant crystals into his Cosmos Rings as fast as possible. Under the support of the entire federation, Li Yao had carried almost thirty Cosmos Rings of huge storages with him. It was a dazzling extravagance even for the standard of the Imperium of True Human Beings.

Li Yao was not a tight-fisted man. Therefore, after absorbing enough crystals into his Cosmos Rings, he would assemble the crystals and the components into crystal bombs while he pushed forward.

Such crystal bombs that were jumbled with bare hands but not through furnaces certainly wouldn’t be too powerful. But thankfully, the narrow and sealed space of “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky” was the best place for the crystal bombs to demonstrate their power.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Li Yao blew his way forward. In many cases, he was too lazy to go through the pathways that were as zigzagging as mazes, so he simply stuck the crystal bombs to the wall of the pathway before he activated the Cell Obliteration Cannon, blowing up both the wall and the Immortal Cultivators hiding behind it. He simply pushed forward in a straight line just like that!

Finally—

Sensing the super enormous space ahead of him that was releasing light and heat like a shining sun, Li Yao put on a mysterious smile.

The place was exactly his destination.

It was the energy core of “Manjusaka, the City in the Sky”!

…

“It’s very serious.”

Wuying Lan struggled to say, “The enemy is about to invade our energy core.”

“What?!”

Li Lingfeng was so greatly surprised that he was unable to say anything for a long time. He almost had the urge to turn his eyes into iron hands and throttle Wuying Lan. “You know what today means for us. Such a thing is never to happen!”

“Nobody could’ve foreseen such an accident!”

His eyes bloodshot, Wuying Lan shouted angrily, “I’m now even beginning to suspect if our queen has vaguely learned some secrets and is insane enough to meddle in this directly!”

The word “queen” made Li Lingfeng’s pupils constrict violently. After a moment, he said solemnly, “I’ll return to reinforce you immediately. Until then, you must defend the energy core whatever it takes, and the stream must not be cut off in any case.”

“I understand.”

Wuying Lan said coldly, “‘Manjusaka, the City in the Sky’ is my lifelong work. I will not allow anyone to sabotage it. However, we have to prepare for the worst. We have to make preparations for a forced landing. It can’t be helped. Should the ‘energy core’ really be damaged, the space fortress will be grabbed by gravity and fall down immediately!”

Before Li Lingfeng replied, he cut off the communication quickly.

Expressionlessly, Li Lingfeng stared at the dark light beam for a long time, gritting his teeth at such a large noise that everybody on the bridge could hear it.

He rose abruptly and left the bridge.

A moment later, the most dazzling bluish brilliance burst out all of a sudden in the middle of the simmering battlefield. From the blue fire arose an iron giant almost forty meters tall. It seemed to have been condensed by raging wind, and the streamlined body was filled with the feelings of speed and dexterity. What was most eye-catching of all was the eight pairs of stabilizer fins that were distributed helically on its back like eighteen enormous wings!

BOOM!

The exhaust flames spurting out from the center of the eight pairs of stabilizer fins extended to dozens of kilometers away and were even more astonishing than the exhaust flames of the warships that were running at the highest speed. It immediately caught all the attention in the battlefield and became the unquestionable hero of the show.

It was the Tempest God, Li Lingfeng’s Colossus!
