Battling Records of the Chosen One-Chapter 312 - Strong Counterattack
Chapter 312: Strong Counterattack
The more Du Xingchuan thought, the more frustrated he felt.
Five Ziying Battleships were useless in the water. Without the help of these killer weapons, how could they possibly be the opponents of the target only by their own strength?
He could not forget the scene that his thousands of companies were killed by the target a few days ago, dying the ground and river with red blood!
From the beginning to the end, no one could fight with the target!
In addition, in recent days, their material consumption was so great that their morale had been dissipated. What else they could rely on to fight against the target?
Du Xingchuan doubted that even Xu Qianjing, the younger generation of Tactical Master, would not be able to turn the situation around if he was here at this moment.
“Boss, there is a message from the front that the stronghold 37 kilometers away has been destroyed by the target in a surprise attack. All 19 of our companions have been killed!”
From afar, a loud cry suddenly broke out. This bad news made Du Xingchuan, Young Mu and practitioners around them suddenly change their face.
Not a long time just passed and the target began to act again!
“It’s so hateful!”
“Why didn’t you seize the opportunity to kill him with the Ziying Battleships?”
“Stupid, didn’t you hear that the target made a raid? Who can tell where he will appear? What kind of raids he will launch? Although Ziying Battleship is powerful, it is impossible to lock the target in an instant!”
“What should we do?”
Many people couldn’t help cursing and venting their fear and impatience, which made the atmosphere chaotic and noisy.
Du Xingchuan finally judged the situation was the same as he speculated that the target wanted to break their layout with the protection of the river!
Thinking of this, Du Xingchuan was chilled all over and let out a hysterical roar, “Shut the f**k up! Go and inform all the forces along the way. Gather here quickly! ”
Many practitioners took action right away.
“Boss, but if we do this, the target can easily get rid of us just by sneaking from the bottom of the river.”
“Do you really want to do this?” murmured Young Mu.
Du Xingchuan looked gloomy and said bitterly, “Just track the target by the Ziying Battleships and the Wind-shadow Hawks first. We have lost too many companies now, so we can’t make this situation worse.”
Young Mu sighed and didn’t say more.
Until late night, many forces placed along the river had gathered with Du Xingchuan one after another.
But when counting the number of people, Du Xingchuan felt a dizzy as if the sky fell. He could not help coughing up blood at this time.
419!
Since the target left the Mist City, their companies, including some on the Ziying Battleships, had sharply decreased to only around 400!
“There were three thousand elite practitioners, six Ziying Battleships and a great deal of materials and equipment, but now…Why the situation become like this!”
Du Xingchuan’s voice was full of unspeakable indignation and grief. He said bitterly, “A teenager causes all this… Who can believe it? Who can imagine this? ”
Young Mu had the same feelings as Du Xingchuan and he was now speechless.
Looking at the survivals nearby, they were all depressed and out of their wits. They were completely scared. Lin Xun had become an invincible devil in their mind, which made them feel powerless and frightened as never before.
They would be scared to disperse and run away if they met Lin Xun again. How could they fight with Lin Xun in this state?
Du Xingchuan was clearly aware of the collapsing morale of his companies. All of this stuck his heart and made him suffocated.
“What should I do?”
In fact, Du Xingchuan already had the answer in his mind, but he hesitated when he thought of the command of Chi Cangmei.
Whether on earth… should they retreat or not?
…
In the mid night, Lin Xun swept out of the river silently as ghost and ran fast into the distance.
Before long, a more than 300 meters long Ziying Battleship was quietly parked in the spacious area.
Looking from afar, it was like a giant beast sleeping on the earth.
“Opportunity… is right in front of me!”
Lin Xun took a deep breath in the dark night. He waited for this opportunity for a long time, and finally got the time when the Ziying Battleship was to dock.
This was not a sudden move. Lin Xun clearly knew that Ziying Battleship needed to park after four hours of flying. It needed to replace the exhausted high-level spiritual crystals in the spiritual furnace. Otherwise, Ziying Battleship would lose power and fall from the air like a bird without wings when the spiritual crystals were not timely added!
Whoosh!
Lin Xun came to the back of the Ziying Battleship. With a leap, he came to the deck of Ziying Battleship. In the night, he was like a flashing ghost, moving ahead continuously.
Lin Xun was so familiar with Ziying Battleship because he designed it by himself. Who would have better understanding of Ziying Battleship than Lin Xun did?
Suddenly, a figure came out of the corner on one side, but before he could find Lin Xun, his neck was broken by a big hand and his body fell quietly and feebly.
After killing this man, Lin Xun went forward several meters again and stopped in front of a deck, where there was a hatch leading to the operation room.
He took out the Flowing-light Saber and stabbed dozens of times around the door. After a dense and clear click, the door was opened automatically.
This was a complicated mechanism. If one attacked the door rudely, it would be hard to break through even if he was a Sea Spirit Realm strongman.
However, if one mastered the secret in the mechanism, it was easy for him to open it without effort.
Whoosh!
Lin Xun’s figure went in quickly, and the open hatch was closed again.
The operation room was dark, and there was no practitioner guarding here. Lin Xun looked around and found that the Panel of Spirit Formation that was used to operate the Ziying Battleship could be activated at any time. He could not help laughing silently. These enemies were really stupid.
In his original design, when the Ziying Battleship berthed, the first thing to do was to lock the Panel of Spirit Formation with a unique secret method so that others could not drive the Ziying Battleship at all even if an enemy sneaked into the operating room. This was designed to prevent the Ziying Battleship from being used privately.
But it was obvious that the practitioner who was in charge of the Ziying Battleship ignored this detail.
They probably didn’t even think that someone in the world could know the mechanism of the hatch and easily sneak into the operation room.
Lin Xun quietly held the Flowing-light Saber tight in his hand without thinking more. His eyes became indifferent without any warmth. He pushed open the door on one side of the operating room.
This gateway led to the hinterland of the cabin.
Lin Xun supposed that a group of practitioners who controlled the Ziying Battleship would be there.
15 minutes later.
Lin Xun returned to the operation room unharmed, but leaving many corpses in every area in the hinterland of the cabin, which was bloody and smelly.
“It’s my turn to attack…”
Lin Xun sat in front of the Panel of Spirit Formation with his deep and cold black eyes.
Ziying Battleship was designed by him, but it was used by the enemy to deal with him in turn! And he nearly died under the attacks of it.
Now, it was time for him, the designer, to control his works and fight back!
…
“Young Mu, we’d better withdraw now.”
Struggling for a long time, Du Xingchuan squeezed this sentence out of his teeth.
Like removing a stone from his heart, Du Xingchuan felt relaxed all over when he made this decision.
But there was also an inexplicable sense of loss in him.
“Boss, we still have five Ziying Battleships.”
Young Mu was shocked. He didn’t expect that Du Xingchuan would choose to retreat at this moment. Was it equaled to giving up?
To admit defeat meant that this action was a complete failure!
If Chi Cangmei knew this, she wouldn’t forgive Du Xingchuan!
“Ziying Battleships have consumed a large number of high-level spirit crystals in these days. Before long, Ziying Battleship would be powerless without supplements. What else can we do when the target appears at that time?”
Du Xingchuan said in a deep voice, “The most important thing is that since the target knows the existence of Ziying Battleships, will he appear rashly?”
“Boss…”
Young Mu wanted to dissuade him more, but he was interrupted by Du Xingchuan with a wave, “Let’s do it. We have lost by this time. If we continue to struggle, we will only make the result worse.”
His voice was determined.
Young Mu sighed, dispirited. He had to carry out the order even if he didn’t want to.
Boom~
However, when Du Xingchuan and Young Mu planned to give an order to retreat, a thundering sound suddenly boomed in the void far away.
Everyone was startled. Looking up, they saw a Ziying Battleship rising in the sky like a hot sun in the dark, dazzling.
Did the target show up?
Du Xingchuan and Young Mu were all stunned.
Just for a moment, another Ziying Battleship took off.
“Boss, it seems that the target has been found. It’s not wise to retreat at this time.”
Young Mu advised.
“Then we can… wait a little longer.”
Du Xingchuan’s face changed for a while and finally sighed.
He knew that waiting was doomed to be fruitless. What could their Ziying Battleships do when the target escaped into the river again? All actions were in vain.
“Boss, look, that Ziying Battleship has launched the spirit cannon. It’s obviously locked in the target! ”
Young Mu pointed to the distance and said excitedly.
Du Xingchuan was shocked. He couldn’t believe it was true. How could the target be so stupid to expose himself under the attack of Ziying Battleship at this moment?
A group of practitioners nearby cheered. The fear, despondency and helplessness accumulated in their hearts for many days broke out completely at this moment. They all wished the Ziying Battleship could kill the target at one stroke!
Boom~~
Under the attentions of people, Ziying Battleship attacked somewhere. A bright light column torn the night apart like sweeping sunlight!
That momentum could be described as earth-shaking!
But…
When they saw the direction of the light column, all the people on the spot were stunned! It aimed at another Ziying Battleship in the void! The feelings of pride, expectation and excitement all faded. They gaped with disbelief.
“What…what the fuck is going on?”
