Chapter 1369: Chapter 1369
Szzz, a thick blue-white energy stream shot out, targeting Tang Zheng. Upon hitting the ground, it exploded, melting the soil and scattering dust chaotically.
Tang Zheng and his two companions dodged. The woman in leather adjusted the cannon’s muzzle, and the light beam chased after them like a military knife, cutting open the ground and leaving a meter-deep trench.
This was a super weapon with the might of a warship’s cannon, named Ferocious Bird’s Lament, S-level. A single strike could completely destroy an aircraft carrier.
The woman in leather momentarily suppressed the four of them, singling out Tang Zheng to kill first, as she had discerned that this man was the core of their team and must be taken down first.
"Spread out!" Tang Zheng released the other two and sprinted away.
The woman in leather couldn’t take on four at once. There would certainly be a focus in her attack. Once they dispersed, except for the one being pursued, the others could wait for the opportunity to counterattack.
Two-thirds of the eighteen Floating Cannons zoomed toward Tang Zheng, forming a ring floating in mid-air, bombarding him.
The light beam instantly enveloped Tang Zheng. With a boom, the ground shattered, scattering dust.
Tang Zheng teleported, reappearing fifty meters away, armed the Hellfire to skim the surface. This way, he could ensure that there would be no attacks from below.
The Floating Cannons pursued him, shooting relentlessly, while Tang Zheng’s chest-mounted Energy Cannon gathered power. He then backstroked, turning to shoot at the woman in leather up in the sky.
A Dodecahedral Ion Shield materialized out of thin air, blocking the light beam.
Various cursors flickered on Tang Zheng’s helmet screen. After locking onto the Floating Cannons, his shoulders and arms’ Bullet Nests opened, and Rocket shells bombarded while his palm’s Impact Beam began to wreak havoc.
Lin Weiguo and Qin Yan held their breaths, rolling several times in the dust, arming the Hellfire while shedding momentum. Then, with Thrusters at full power, they pounced toward the woman in leather.
Covered in the Angels of Death, blue flames spurted from Pang Meiqin’s Thrusters on her buttocks, shooting her toward the woman in leather as she unleashed Hell’s Song.
The woman in leather acted as if she hadn’t seen them, didn’t even try to evade, taking the light beams on her Ion Shield. The energy pillar of Ferocious Bird’s Lament in her hand thinned and faded. After re-targeting Tang Zheng, the muzzle gathered energy and suddenly fired a huge blue Energy Sphere. Upon traveling one hundred meters from the muzzle, it instantly spread, forming dozens of fist-sized pellets, bombarding Tang Zheng.
Boom, boom. The Energy Spheres hit consecutively, submerging Tang Zheng. Before the dust rose, Pang Meiqin saw Tang Zheng’s back being hit, plunging into the ground.
On the Monitor, Tang Zheng stopped moving. The woman in leather immediately switched targets, rocketing up like a Meteor, with the three Old Soldiers in pursuit, bombarding with all their might.
The woman in leather’s energy generators sped up behind her, forming and releasing halos above her, lingering in the air, twenty in total, like roadblocks, blocking the enemy.
The Floating Cannons also returned, attacking the three soldiers.
"Don’t touch them!" The Old Soldier accidentally grazed one due to his high speed and suffered damage. He quickly warned his teammates.
"Hmph, do you think that’s all?" The woman in leather performed a sleek maneuver, changing her trajectory to vertical to attack Tang Zheng. She knew the previous bombardment would at best have injured him. To kill him, she would need to push harder.
Qin Yan and her two companions prepared to pursue again when the halos began rotating and the hollow parts suddenly zzzt with Electric Current, then began firing beams, submerging the three in a Sword Array of light beams, assaulting their hearts.
The three turned to try to escape from the attack Range, but the woman in leather had left behind too many halos, and the light beam rays were pervasive, hitting them.
Their Radars kept hinting alarms, nearly tearing their eardrums, but still, they were hit and plummeted to the ground. Sparks flew from their Power Armor as it showed signs of damage.
Tang Zheng’s Hellfire damage reached forty percent. In fact, he could still maneuver, but he knew that doing so would undoubtedly attract more attacks. The pressure was too great; it was better to feign death, attract some firepower for Qin Yan and the other two, and also execute a psychological tactic. Suddenly playing dead would also put mental pressure on the enemy.
"Great opportunity!" Tang Zheng had been worried about how to approach the woman in leather and had been pondering how to dodge the ranged bombardment. He hadn’t expected her to descend voluntarily, and he was overjoyed.
The woman in leather’s Annihilating Angel was mighty, comparable to a Space Fortress, but its power consumption was also huge. She couldn’t use it frequently, or else she would keep bombarding until her enemy was torn to pieces. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel~fire~net
Descending to five hundred meters, the woman in leather aimed the Ferocious Bird’s Lament at Tang Zheng, and the Beam Saber cut down again.
"Very cautious!" Tang Zheng dared not use the Radar to lock onto the woman in leather for fear she would discover he was unharmed. Still, she remained cautious, bombarding from a distance.
With Thrusters at full blast, Tang Zheng shot forth like a Cannon Shell, covering a hundred meters in an instant, appearing beside the woman in leather almost simultaneously with the light beam.
To save energy, the woman in leather had not activated her Ion Shield. She was hit squarely, the light beam striking the Annihilating Angel, only three shots.
The woman in leather deployed her Dodecahedral Ion Shield, but Tang Zheng had already entered within. Just as he was about to launch an attack, she showed no fear and instead charged forward, accelerating with a shake of Ferocious Bird’s Lament.
The black, massive knife blade, with a fierce momentum, slashed towards his head. The bullet nests on the woman in leather opened, dozens of missiles leaving white smoke trails, hurtling toward Tang Zheng.
At such a close distance, even with teleportation, Tang Zheng took a dozen hits. Although the Shield blocked the missiles, the Shock Wave flung him out, and the missile’s lost target, like headless flies, flew off into the distance before plunging to the ground and exploding in a continuous chain.
