Chapter 794: Chapter 423 We are the prey!
Watching the sword-shaped illusion suddenly appearing beside that mysterious intelligent entity.
Although unable to comprehend why, in this vast expanse of space, the subject would craft such a gorgeously mysterious form.
The soldiers and officers of the Varo Civilization fleet, having already suffered a significant setback, no longer underestimated this abrupt transformation.
Nor would any expert dare to step forward at this time to declare it merely an illusion.
“Prioritize locking onto that special glowing object!”
“Fire! Fire with all your might!”
Varo Commander loudly issued the command.
The Varo fleet’s targets for the simultaneous firing of tens of thousands of cannons were chosen to be on Evil-Slaying Sword Shadows.
But these volleyed shells were still in mid-flight,
Whoosh!
The fully formed Evil-Slaying Sword Shadows rushed forward, slicing through hundreds of electromagnetic cannon shells in the process,
and in the blink of an eye, had shattered them completely.
“So fast!”
“This speed, it’s even faster than our next-generation main cannons!”
“Is this the energy weapon of this constant star system?”
“Quick! Calculate the trajectory of the enemy’s attack and execute emergency evasion maneuvers for the ships!”
“Hurry!”
Even though the commanders had already realized that it was nearly impossible to dodge such fast energy weapons once they were locked on, they still hoped for that slim possibility.
Inside one of the Varo Civilization’s battleships, an elderly captain, upon learning that he was very likely to be hit by that energy weapon,
realized there was no time to evade. He seized control from the pilot and steered the battleship to meet the Evil-Slaying Sword Shadows with its chin area, which was located underneath its head and was one of the thickest armored parts of these two-thousand-meter-long Varo Civilization battleships.
Behind the thick armor, there were several high-security-level storage areas,
which could also help mitigate the blast impact further.
Bang!
In the cosmic space, the dark whale was struck by a bolt of white light at the head,
and in the blink of an eye, its armor, at least five meters thick, was brutally penetrated!
The crew members on the hit battleship, shocked, noticed that apart from the shrill alarm, there was no violent shaking from an explosion.
While they were still puzzled, the elderly captain, through monitors located throughout the ship, saw the Evil-Slaying Sword Shadows enter the vessel and instantly split into hundreds of one-and-a-half to two-meter long Flying Sword illusions.
Then, these illusions, as if possessing their own intelligence, swiftly dispersed to target every Varo crew member on the ship!
Most crew members only saw a flash of light pass by their side, and then their heads were severed.
The few who were in more open spaces barely managed to see the Sword Light tearing through the corridors, and could just retain in their eyes the fleeting glimpse of that mysterious and unparalleled sword shadow.
Even the elderly captain received no special treatment.
The security systems in the command room were utterly ineffective.
Soon, the elderly captain, together with the other crew members in the room, was beheaded by the Sword Qi that surged from the floor amidst a blinding light!
“What kind of energy weapon is this?”
“Not only did it break through the armor of our battleship, but it also, the moment it entered, rapidly split into multiple units to maximally efficiently attack our living forces!”
“And after completing the killings, it could reassemble and fly out of the ship’s body to seek the next target!”
“How could a civilization possessing such energy weapons have just begun to develop their own constant star system?”
Varo Commander, trembling, watched through other ships’ perspectives as the Evil-Slaying Sword Shadows recovered and rushed out of the battleship unscathed.
Watching as the Evil-Slaying Sword Shadows entered an energy supply ship, slightly larger than the battleship, measuring two thousand five hundred meters in length.
And then, predictably, the armor of that supply ship was also breached.
However,
perhaps knowing there was no escape after being invaded,
the captain of the supply ship chose to initiate the self-destruction program immediately.
Using the large amount of flammable and explosive materials on board,
the explosion formed a sphere of light with a diameter of over ten kilometers.
The surrounding space also exhibited some form of shock ripple.
It’s just that in the sparse material-filled cosmic space,
otherwise, the shockwave from the explosion should have swept hundreds or even thousands of kilometers.
The Varo Civilization fleet went mad,
hurling all sorts of weapons into the explosive fireball as if they were worth nothing,
apparently hoping to destroy that fearsome energy weapon in the process.
Evil-Slaying Sword Shadows, indeed affected by the self-explosion at first,
but at the same moment, under the control of the Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator, instantly retracted back beside her,
and deliberately hid its Sword Light.
Without the Sword Light, at such remote distances, the observation equipment simply couldn’t notice this illusion.
Then, Evil-Slaying Sword Shadows and the Rabbit-Eared Female Cultivator together, watched the distant cosmic space become a fireworks show.
After a dozen breaths, the fireball from the explosion began to contract and disappear.
It was then that the Varo Civilization fleet, after venting their fears, noticed the other significant person, re-appearing beside.
The fearsome energy weapon reappeared beside them, seemingly intact!
After that, a golden, translucent, giant humanoid illusion slowly stood up behind them.
It was a Guardian Heavenly General, belonging to a Taoist who revered the True Martial Demon-suppressing Heavenly General and Divine Statue.
Having absorbed a substantial amount of power from the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Array and Incense Fire Divine Power,
this Guardian Heavenly General Dharma Aspect, with the help of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree and Jianmu Divine Tree, came to this battlefield.
