Chapter 656: Chapter 429: Shura Never Dies, Never Admits Defeat!
After hearing Qi Longxiang’s words, the entire crew fell silent collectively.
Or rather, they had grown accustomed, as Qi Longxiang’s combat thinking had long been infused throughout the ship.
In the eyes of that seemingly gentle youth, for victory…
Nothing was too great a sacrifice!
Exchanging the lives of millions, even tens of millions, for a single peak enemy combatant, a scenario that would normally lead to a military tribunal, could only be decided by their commander, Colonel Qi.
Thus, when Qi Longxiang’s calm and gentle voice rang out again, even though a chill rose in their hearts, they carried out his orders without fail.
Although he was a cold-blooded commander who would even gamble with his life for victory, he was the commander who could lead them to victory!
“Magnetic Field Nuclear Cannon, energy storage preparation, Fleet Skill, Heroic Strike—Shadow Formation.”
After the Hidden Land Battleship took over the command of the entire sky’s warships, people witnessed a magnificent scene unfold on the firmament.
Countless light blue screens began to converge from the sky-high warships around that Silver Blue Fleet, gathering barrier energy transmitted from other warships at this moment.
The Federation’s standard optical prism modules, under the synchronized command of that man, formed a vision as uniform as one could imagine!
A terrifyingly large Cross Slash fiercely struck that canopy-like giant screen.
Boom!
Even with the naked eye, one could see the Silver Blue Fleet being pushed backward several tens of meters.
That gigantic Cross Slash, as if stuck in a quagmire, still slowly pressed on, but finally held its ground as it neared the bow of the flagship.
That pale blue screen of light was also compressed to its limit at this moment.
Bang!
The gigantic Cross Slash finally turned into mist.
The strike was ineffective.
“What a familiar scene! But can you still resist me like last time?”
A sneer emanated from the cockpit, and Reingano, in a fully coordinated state, casually surveyed the surroundings enveloped by the sky-high warships, with both hands again clasped beside him.
“This distance… heh.”
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Black Knight raised the Spear of Longinus high in his hand, suddenly charging towards the opposite side.
At that moment, opposite him, inside the majestic Hidden Land Battleship.
That gently handsome youth, eyes tightly closed, softly spoke:
“After this battle, I alone will bear the consequences, wishing all my comrades to fight bravely with me.”
Heroic Strike!
At that moment, heaven and earth seemed to dim for an instant, and in the monitoring room watching from afar, the energy meter even malfunctioned momentarily.
Then those officers saw a radiant orange light, bright as the sun, illuminate from the flattened hammer-like bow of the Hidden Land Battleship.
This time, Major General Wang by Colonel He’s side finally lost his composure.
“Has he gone mad? To fire here!”
Colonel He could no longer pay attention to Major General Wang, his eyes fixed only on that orange radiance.
With extreme difficulty, he uttered, “Is he intending for us… to be buried with him?”
The Great Harmony Cannon equipped on the Hidden Land Battleship had an energy compression level twice that of the one on the Falcon-class warship outside the atmosphere of Purple Jade Star.
Inside the atmosphere, was he trying to breach the Land of Bright Star, making countless people accompany him in a mutual destruction with the enemy?
Meanwhile, inside Black Knight, a chilling sensation crept up Reingano’s back, his eyes suddenly bulging:
“Damn you, madman!”
The Black Knight’s charging posture abruptly paused, Black Flame surged around him, and a massive umbrella-shaped shield exploded directly from the tip of the Riding Spear.
…
When the fierce battle raged in the sky, a black figure on the ground, enveloped by lingering smoke, leaned on a sword single-handedly like a samurai refusing to fall.
Behind it, a scarlet cloak formed a spherical light screen overhead. The mecha’s mottled black shell was still steaming, with two startling scars crossing obliquely from both sides of its waist.
Shura’s armor was already spotted, now looking incredibly dismal.
At that moment, the black mecha hung its head, looking down at the ground, the red light in its eyes dimmed.
Inside the cockpit, the figure of a young man floated quietly.
Within the heart Bai Guyue had perfectly healed, the surging blood continued its course, the terrifying cardiac pressure still beating relentlessly.
Having taken a heavy hit, Mu Fan struggled to raise his hand to wipe the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth. His vision had been completely obscured by blood.
But the flame in his heart was burning relentlessly.
It was the indomitable will to fight emanating from his cells!
“Shura, have we lost?”
With a wry smile, Mu Fan looked up at the rolling dark clouds overhead.
Had even Shura been defeated this time? Was the enemy truly invincible?
Or was he destined to die here?
“Shura is indestructible, there’s no defeat to speak of.”
That strained voice, as it uttered these eight words, did not pause for even a moment.
Mu Fan seemed to see a martial artist, wielding a sword and moving forward, repeatedly falling with severe injuries only to rise again and again, chopping opponents down.
The martial artist was bathed in blood but never truly fell. His future was enveloped in darkness, yet his fervent aura surged irresistibly forward. “It’s because I’m too weak…”
Mu Fan coughed out blood. He had clearly heard the words of the Black Knight Mechanical Master.
Now, controlling Shura, he must be far inferior compared to the ethereal ghostly figure of the Demon God Shura.
“As long as my body lives… I’ll never admit defeat!”
Shura responded to Mu Fan once more, and this time, Mu Fan seemed to hear another layer of meaning in Shura’s words.
It was a battle intent rising to the heavens from placing oneself in a do-or-die situation!
Had Shura sparked a battle intent even stronger than his own?
But now, Mu Fan didn’t know how to face that terrifyingly exceptional Black Knight anymore.
Still, Mu Fan gritted his teeth.
In his lifetime, even in the toughest times, he had never thought of kneeling to beg for a way to live.
“Alright.”
“I don’t want to be a coward my whole life, nor a hero for just a minute,” Mu Fan spoke uncaringly, spitting out a mouthful of bloody foam and cracking a smile.
“I just want to live without any regrets.”
“The worst outcome is just death.”
“Shura, let’s fight.”
With each word he spoke, Mu Fan, in a state of Blessed Relief, felt his powerful heart pulse, and his breath grew stronger.
Like the final radiant surge of a dying great warrior, the lone wolf placed in a deadly situation was about to unleash his most ferocious counterattack at the brink of death.
As for what came after the counterattack, he didn’t have time to think.
However, when Mu Fan spoke, he unexpectedly didn’t hear a response from Shura. Moreover, he was shocked to find that his control intentions had been completely blocked.
Full-body coordination failure?
Then, Shura spoke again, though this time his voice carried an unusually solemn question, as if performing a sacred ritual:
“Core Consciousness Box activation conditions met. The host’s body can forcibly enter a state of overload, with continual bodily collapse, supporting up to 30 seconds.”
“Blood Inheritance Mode… should it be activated?”
