Chapter 64: The Landing Battle! Begins!

  Chapter 64: Landing Battle! Begins!

  (0064)

  "Wow! What kind of weapon is this?" Xia Xingxiao asked curiously.

  "Die light! Destroy everything!" Li Yuzi's brief response was filled with intense heat in his eyes.

  Xia Xingxiao didn't know what the Death Ray was, but he could feel that it was a very powerful energy weapon. Because the energy fluctuations he felt were even more intense than the energy ball sprayed by the giant sandworm earlier. Faintly, he could also sense a breath of death. Perhaps this was the energy of death, so it's called the Death Ray.

  In fact, the death beam is also a type of laser weapon. General laser weapons require a large base and need to go through many procedures before they can be launched. Obviously, as an individual soldier's weapon, lasers are unrealistic. Ordinary escort ships and destroyers cannot install large laser launchers either. Only bulky cruisers and battleships can use them.

  However, limited by the power of a single laser weapon, a single cruiser is still unable to deal with the dark-colored sandworms. Only when several cruisers are connected together and use their laser weapons simultaneously can they eliminate those super-powerful targets.

  This is also the charm of laser weapons. When necessary, hundreds or even thousands of large warships are connected together to launch deadly light, and their power is absolutely devastating. Even if you want to smash a planet directly, it's not that difficult.

  Innumerable energies, through the death beams one after another, forcibly pressed into the body of the giant sandworm. The golden yellow color on the surface of the giant sandworm quickly faded away and soon transformed back to its original grayish white color. The sharp thorns also gradually disappeared. This shows that the energy within the giant sandworm itself was largely consumed by the death beams.

  "Boom!"

  Suddenly, the golden sandworm exploded.

  The entire sky was as if swept by a storm, with devastation everywhere.

  Xia Xingxiao could even feel that the massive Ailai Star was being pushed off its orbit again. The movement of Ailai Star was clearly done with trembling, just like a child being pushed by an adult and almost fell over. The entire Mian Luo military base experienced another earthquake above level 7, and everyone could clearly feel the vibration under their feet. If not for the special protective facilities, it would have been a complete mess.

  As for Xia Xingxiao's Qi Hai, it was like a small boat in a stormy sea, constantly shaking and rolling, almost breaking apart on the spot. He still managed to hold on. Li Yuzi, Fotou, Fogong, Fozu and others were all clutching their stomachs in agony, rolling around on the ground. Their Qi Hai had reached the brink of collapse, and was about to burst at any moment.

  Fortunately, the explosive energy of the giant sandworm dissipated quickly in the starry sky, and the dantian of each cultivator slowly returned to normal. However, the starry sky where the giant sandworm exploded, hundreds of kilometers in diameter, no longer had any substance existing. Whether it was living or non-living, everything was swept away. Only a vacuum remained, an absolute vacuum.

  "Damn it! It's already hung up, and it's so fierce!" Xia Xingxiao cursed.

  "The energy crystal of the cruiser is probably exhausted too." Li Yuji's reply seemed a bit off. Firing high-powered laser weapons was very consuming for the energy crystals. To take down that giant sandworm, all the cruisers would likely exhaust their energy crystals. Without replenishment, they temporarily had no combat power.

  As expected, those cruisers had to start falling back. Their energy crystals were indeed almost depleted. Without energy crystals, it was impossible to fire energy shells. All the energy guns became mere decorations. Those destroyers and escort ships, on the other hand, continued to move forward, still entangled with the remaining sand worms, using intense firepower to cover the cruisers' retreat.

  In the dim light, Xia Xingxiao felt that using a giant sandworm to repel eight cruisers was quite a bargain. With such a large sandworm, there should be many more in the Sand Clan's army, and even if one was lost, the remaining sandworms would still have enough combat power. Without those cruisers' interception, the Sand Clan's landing might become even easier.

  Of course, it can be certain that as time goes on, the human army will definitely have more large-scale warships coming. Aizora Star, as a key fortress defending White Egret Star, is something that cannot fall into the hands of the Sand Bandit Army no matter what.

  Cruisers are not the main force of the 41st Legion's affiliated fleet. Under the 41st Legion, there are also battleships and star destroyers. Don't look at those big sandworms being arrogant, once the battleships and star destroyers arrive, they have only one dead end.

  Everyone is clear about this point, and the Sand Clan is no exception. Therefore, the Sand Clan's large army must seize the gap in the human fleet's firepower, mobilize a large number of sand eagles, and send a large number of sand thieves to the surface of Ayleaf Star. Otherwise, once the human army's super battleship arrives or higher-level cultivators arrive, they will not be able to land.

  At this time, Aiyexing had also entered a state of high alert. All combat-capable personnel were mobilized to prepare for counter-landing operations. Base Commander Chen Duo Hai had issued an order to fight to the death, and everyone was required to hold their posts and not retreat easily.

  Huang Wei and Jin Hai were also assigned to Li Yuzhi's combat team. At this time, no matter what grudges they had between them, they had to put them aside. Because once the deserters landed successfully, any human on Planet Aylee would be doomed. If Yan Baoqing wasn't injured, he should have been on the front line of battle at this moment too.

  Without the interceptors of human fighter jets, most of the Sand Hawks successfully delivered the Sand Thieves to the surface of Planet Aylee. To avoid the artillery fire from the Mullen military base, the Sand Thieves chose a vacant lot dozens of kilometers away from the Mullen military base as their main landing site. In no time, tens of thousands of Sand Thieves were scattered all over the surface of Planet Aylee.

  The Sand Thieves launched an attack on the Mello military base after landing on the surface of Ayleaf Star. The Sand Thieves were a hybrid human with some human characteristics, and they were also organized and intelligent. After years of entanglement, their familiarity with the Mello military base was already quite high. They knew where to launch the main attack and where to make a feint. As a result, in an instant, a large number of Sand Thieves appeared before Xiaoxiao and others.

  The first wave of sand thieves that came up were extremely ferocious. As the vanguard of the attack, their combat strength was naturally the strongest. They all had weapons. Their weapon was a dull-colored large chopper, about one meter in length.

  Don't look at these big choppers with a somewhat dull appearance, as if they haven't been sharpened. In fact, their lethality is very strong. They are not only sharp but also have a very strong force. One knife comes down, and if it hits the target, the target will definitely be finished off.

  Xia Xingxiao and his group were in the direction of the fake attack by the desert thieves. However, even if it was a feint, there were still many desert thieves rushing up. The desert thieves who rushed up were still so cruel. With almost no time to think, Xia Xingxiao and his group were already caught up in battle.

  The fighting strength of the Sand Thieves is indeed very strong. After merging with the genes of the Sand Clan, they not only have infinite strength but also possess quite good defensive capabilities. In battles of the same level, they have the upper hand. Fortunately, this is just a feint by the Sand Thieves. If it were their main attack direction, I'm afraid the first wave of attacks from the Sand Thieves would be enough to cover up Xia Xing and his group entirely.

  The battle had just begun, and Huang Wei dodged too late, being split in the head by a sand thief's knife, his entire body was cut in half, dying on the spot. Jin Hai also didn't last long, being chopped off at the waist. The two of them were main members of the Blazing War God team, yet they couldn't even kill one sand thief. This shows just how terrifying the sand thieves are.

  It's actually quite predictable. The Sha would definitely send their elite troops to the front lines. Especially in amphibious warfare, the first ones to land are bound to be the strongest fighters. Most of the Sha's fighting strength lies between the First and Second-Class soldiers. Huang Wei and Jin Hai were only Second-Class soldiers after all; it's not surprising they died miserably.

  Li Yuzhi and Fotou, Fogong, Fozu and others benefited from Xia Xingxiao's protection. Xia Xingxiao blocked the sand thieves in front of them, intercepting most of them. With his abnormal defense system, as long as he wasn't directly hit by the sand thief's big chopper, there was no danger. Therefore, Xia Xingxiao's battle wasn't considered difficult.

  As a superior warrior, Sun Shiyue's combat strength was extremely powerful. He practiced the relatively cold and gloomy Genuine Nine Changes Inner Strength, which was perfectly matched with the Xuanming Divine Palm. This was already a huge restraint for the Sand Bandits who feared the cold. With just one casual palm strike from Sun Shiyue, the temperature within a range of several dozen meters would rapidly drop, freezing the people around him to the point where they were shivering all over.

  Sun Shiwei and Xia Xingxiao's coordination put all the sand thieves who rushed up in a severe cold of minus 50 degrees. The extreme cold obviously greatly restricted the speed of the sand thieves, and their movements also became stiff. Without speed, without agility, the combat effectiveness of the sand thieves decreased by at least 70%. This gave Li Yuzhi and others an opportunity to kill with one blow.

  However, extreme cold is not the greatest power of Condensing True Nine Transformations. The greatest characteristic of Condensing True Nine Transformations is not yin coldness, but rather splitting the body. With Sun Shikui's cultivation, he can already create two split bodies. These split bodies that rely on true energy condensation can effectively confuse the Sand Bandits' attacks, causing their large chopping knives to miss the real target.

  Actually, the clones created by Qing Zhen's Nine Changes Transformation also possess combat power and are not just for dispersing firepower. However, when the clones participate in battle, they consume a lot of true energy, and Sun Shiwei's own true energy is insufficient, so he can only use the most basic confusing function. After the Sand Thieves were confused, Sun Shiwei took advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack from the side. As a result, several Sand Thieves in a row were killed by Sun Shiwei with a single palm strike.
