Chapter 972: Suffocation
Linglong watched her fellow disciples leave, thought for a moment, and then a flying sword suddenly appeared in front of her body. She lightly leaped and stood on the flying sword.
The senior brother's expression slightly changed, looking at Linglong and said, "Be careful, little sister."
Linglong smiled faintly and said, "I'm just going to take a look, won't make a move."
The senior brother seemed to know Linglong's temperament, relaxed, and nodded, "Go ahead, I'll be watching here."
Linglong responded, and the flying sword took her swiftly towards the void below, disappearing from the senior brother's sight in the blink of an eye.
After descending a few thousand meters while riding the flying sword, Linglong lost the position of her fellow disciples but had a sudden thought and looked towards her left front.
A dazzling light appeared.
The dark void over there was illuminated like daylight, and with her eyesight, she could soon see a senior brother amid the explosion's light.
Not far from that senior brother was a rapidly spinning flying device.
Tat-tat-tat...
A long string of sparks frantically sprayed out from beneath that flying device, blasting towards the senior brother.
The senior brother's figure was elegant, easily avoiding many blasts, occasionally waving the long sword in his hand, knocking away those weapons that got close to him.
Some small explosions spread beside that senior brother but failed to break through his defense shield.
However, Linglong still noticed that the weapons fired from that flying device managed to impact the senior brother somewhat, at least sending his body flying far each time he cut through those weapons.
But with the protection of the defense shield, the senior brother wouldn't be harmed.
The most important thing was, Linglong could tell that the senior brother was intentionally toying around. Rеаdеr suppоrt аt М*VLЕМ*РYR mаdе this trаnslаtiоn pоssiblе.
Compared to the senior brother's agility in the void, although the flying device seemed flexible, it was far from matching cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm like them.
Sure enough, after playing around for a while, the senior brother rode the flying sword to counterattack towards the flying device.
The flying sword, like a meteor, tore through the void and instantly arrived upon the flying device.
Bam!
Sparks flew, followed by a loud bang.
The flying device was visibly shaken from the terrifying speed of the flying sword's impact.
The flying sword was actually embedded in the windshield of the pilot at the front of the flying device.
That senior brother seemed to be shouting angrily, forming a sword technique with his hand, causing the flying sword to tremble violently, making the flying device shudder slightly.
Whoosh!
The spinning flying sword finally detached from the flying device, then, under the senior brother's precise control, pierced the spot it had struck before.
"Thud!"
The flying sword penetrated the flying device from that previous spot.
The pilot of that fighter jet was struck by the flying sword on the spot, and the energy carried by the flying sword was so terrifying that the pilot's upper body exploded into smithereens.
A mist of blood stained the entire cockpit red, blood splattering on the windshield.
Linglong sighed silently and averted her gaze.
Although that senior brother hadn't found the flying device's weak point, eliminating the pilot accurately solved the problem from the root.
If the technological level of this planet was limited to this, then these Foundation Establishment disciples of Lingxiao Sect would possess overwhelming power against any nation on this planet.
Thankfully, Lingxiao Sect isn't the Demon Sect and won't slaughter the innocent indiscriminately.
As long as the humans on this planet sense the threat and submit obediently, the senior brothers will not kill wantonly.
A bright explosion shone from afar.
Moments later, a loud bang followed.
"Boom!"
Under the explosion's light, Linglong's robes fluttered, her hair lightly dancing, as she stood on the flying sword, swaying with the wind, like an immortal descending to the mortal world.
That flying device ultimately couldn't escape the senior brother's grasp.
Ground.
Divine Continent, Yunwu Mountain's Base Command Center.
Qin Yanyang and others watched terrifying scenes from the video relayed back by the fighters.
Seeing each scene suddenly disappear, indicating each fighter's destruction, everyone's heart sank to the bottom.
Qin Yanyang decisively ordered, "Withdraw, everyone pull back."
"Divine Continent 1-9 retreating."
"Divine Continent 1-11 retreating."
"Divine Continent 1-23 retreating."
Then there was no more sound.
Eight Divine Continent fighters, yet only three could retreat, the remaining five were destroyed by those descending Outer Domain cultivators with cold weapons in such a short span of time.
Too strong!
The suffocating sense left everyone extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, they clearly saw what species were on that ghost ship that traveled through the black hole vortex.
They resembled the appearance and clothing of the ancient people of the Divine Continent, yet each possessed formidable cultivation skills, capable of flying and earth escape, taking on Divine Continent fighters with their flesh and blood.
Moreover, it was an overwhelming scenario.
The highly maneuverable Divine Continent fighters appeared clumsy in front of these powerful cultivators adept in flying and earth escape.
They, wielding cold weapons, could easily destroy high-tech, sturdily equipped fighter jets.
Terrifying!
Such formidable individual combat power, it was simply despairing!
In shock, everyone looked towards Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei.
At this moment, it seemed only Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei could offer them a glimmer of hope.
Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei were also intimidated by the overwhelming combat power shown by the enemy.
However, they were already in the Foundation Establishment and thought that if they possessed those cultivators' weapons, they might be able to counter the fighters to some extent.
Especially Qin Yanyang, the sword aura he could summon himself had immense power, enough to deal significant damage to the special materials of the fighters.
However, this was just their confident speculation.
Having never truly fought, they didn't know how vast the gap was between them and those people.
Not to mention, there were only the two of them, while there were so many enemies.
Among the enemies, could there be even stronger ones?
The civilization the spaceship came from was obviously much more powerful than Earth's civilization.
What was their purpose for coming to Earth?
Now that both sides were at war, would those people easily relent? Would they come to destroy Earth civilization?
For a time, everyone was filled with fear, feeling as if the end of the world was imminent.
"Should we consider using the strongest nuclear weapons to destroy their spaceship?" someone suggested.
Qin Yanyang's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
But after hesitating for a long time, he finally shook his head and said, "Even if we destroy their spaceship, those powerful individuals scattered in Earth space can still bring fatal destruction to us. Bringing down their spaceship would only make the conflict irreconcilable. Besides, if they could bring one spaceship, they could bring a second, third, or even more ships."
Everyone silently nodded.
It seemed reasonable.
Yang Fei, unwilling to concede, said, "So, we just let them beat us?"
Qin Yanyang gave a bitter smile, "This isn't about whether you're willing or not, but that the cultivation civilization of another planet far surpasses Earth's civilization, which is a suppression of one civilization over another. We, as members of Earth's weaker civilization, are as insignificant as a grain of millet in the vast ocean."
Everyone felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
It was too oppressive.
And too suffocating.
Suddenly, Yang Fei grabbed Qin Yanyang's hand and said, "Honey, let's go talk to them?"
