As they chatted, Luo Kai suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness. He couldn't help but stand up and look around.
Li Hong also sensed something. He shut his mouth and closed his eyes as if he was sensing something.
The airship was flying at an altitude of about three to four thousand meters. Below them was an endless wilderness, silent and dark.
Luo Kai suppressed his increasingly fast heartbeat. Just as he was feeling a little puzzled, an even stronger sense of danger came over him. His blood and Qi circulation involuntarily began to speed up.
Li Hong suddenly opened his eyes. His expression changed drastically. "Enemy attack!"
A faint white light rose from the surface of his skin, forming a thin film that covered him. He reached out and grabbed a large golden sword next to him.
Everyone on the airship grabbed their weapons and looked around, ready for battle.
In the starry sky, a star gradually appeared, growing brighter and brighter. No, it wasn't a meteor, but a flying object with a long tail of flames.
At the same time, Luo Kai's heartbeat became faster and faster. All the hair on his body stood on end. An indescribable sense of danger welled up in his heart. His eyes began to turn red, and his blood and Qi circulation uncontrollably reached its peak.
The flying object was very fast. In a few breaths' time, it was in front of them. It was an oval black sphere with a long tail of flames, like a missile.
Li Hong shouted and threw the large sword in his hand. The entire sword was covered in a layer of white light. It was like a meteor hitting the flying object head-on.
With a loud bang, a brilliant white light bloomed in front of Luo Kai's eyes. The entire world was enveloped in the white light. It was so dazzling, yet so lonely and cold. It seemed like everything would be annihilated under this white light.
Immeasurable heat assaulted him. His body began to burn from the outside. It was as if he had returned to the scene when he was burned by the black flames. It wouldn't be long before his entire body was burned to ashes. At this moment, a figure blocked in front of him and grabbed his shoulder.
Luo Kai lost consciousness for about a fraction of a second. When he regained consciousness, he was falling rapidly. The airship above his head had already turned into a huge fireball. Li Hong, who was holding him, was completely charred. Only his eyes were still emitting a glaring white light.
The two of them smashed a deep hole in the ground. Li Hong bent his waist and stood up. Looking at the huge fireball above his head, his eyes were filled with anger.
Luo Kai tried to stand up as well. Most of the force of the fall had been absorbed by Li Hong. Apart from some burns on his skin, he didn't suffer any particularly serious injuries. However, there seemed to be a kind of violent energy attached to the surface of his skin, which was frantically seeping into his body. His tough cell tissues immediately resisted the energy, rejecting the infiltration of this energy.
That white light was too terrifying. It was like a powerful bomb. Other than the powerful shockwave, it also had a high temperature that could purify everything. If Li Hong hadn't protected him, he would have died. He asked with lingering fear, "What was that?"
Li Hong said in a low voice, "Heresy!
You wait here. I'll go and see if there are any survivors. "
As soon as the two of them climbed out of the deep hole, they saw a strange object not far away. It was a humanoid machine more than four meters tall. Its whole body was made of dark metal, like a mecha from a sci-fi movie. Its left arm was a long sword, and it carried something like a rocket launcher on its back. Its red eyes locked onto Li Hong, and it strode towards him.
"What is this?" Luo Kai rubbed his eyes suspiciously. Mecha actually existed in this world.
Li Hong said with a gloomy face, "Didn't you want to know what an extraterrestrial creature looks like? This is it!"
After saying that, he suddenly stomped his foot, picked up a golden sword that was scattered on the ground, and faced the mecha-like creature head-on.
Li Hong was as fast as lightning. He jumped high in the air, and the golden sword in his hand emitted a dazzling white light. It was as if he was waving a huge lightsaber, and he slashed it towards the mecha.
The mecha raised the long sword embedded in its arm high. When the two collided, there was a loud explosion. Ripples appeared in the air, and a shockwave visible to the naked eye spread out. A large crater was blasted open, and the surrounding plants and trees all fell down.
Luo Kai couldn't help but take a few steps back when he came in contact with the shockwave. He was secretly shocked. The shockwave from the battle between the two was much stronger than when Su Chengbo and Big Beard fought. What kind of creature was that mecha-like creature? It had the strength of a physical trainer, and he couldn't feel any frequency at all. Even stones had frequencies.
After an all-out fight, Li Hong didn't fight force with force. Instead, he circled around the mecha creature at high speed. The sword in his hand turned into a ball of white light, and he slashed like a cutting machine.
The mecha creature was obviously much clumsier. In an instant, its whole body was covered with sword marks. However, the black metal body's recovery ability was amazing. The sword marks on the surface of its body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The battle entered a stalemate. The mecha creature's body was incomparably strong, and Li Hong couldn't do anything to it.
Luo Kai wanted to help, but his hands and feet were bound by the black shackles. He wanted to, but he couldn't. He could only jump around and look for his own weapons. He had a total of three weapons on him, but they were all confiscated by Li Hong.
The airship exploded thousands of meters above the ground. The weapons must have been scattered far away. After searching around, he only found a carbonized corpse. It was one of the five swordsmen. Although the corpse was carbonized, it still held a golden sword tightly in its hand. The surface of the sword seemed to be covered with a layer of gold, and the golden light was very eye-catching.
He picked up the greatsword and tried to cut the shackles. A faint sword mark appeared on the shackles and quickly disappeared. He sighed inwardly and looked at the battle on the other side. Li Hong's speed had slowed down. The explosion on the airship had also caused him to suffer heavy injuries.
Now was the best time to escape. Luo Kai was hesitant. If it weren't for Li Hong, he might not have been able to survive the white light that purified everything.
After a while, the mecha-like creature suddenly split from the middle. It actually split into two, and then into four. There was no change in its appearance, but its body became much smaller than an adult. It was only about one meter tall. After becoming smaller, their speed suddenly increased dramatically. They turned into four clouds of black fog and tightly surrounded Li Hong, attacking him like a storm.
The situation changed again. Li Hong switched to a defensive position. The white light on his body became brighter and brighter, forming a white membrane that wrapped around his body and blocked the attacks.
After becoming a physique master, it was very difficult to rely on conventional methods to make progress. One could only seek the help of external energy to break through one's limits. Li Hong's body had been tempered by light energy. He could release the light energy hidden in his body to fight against enemies. According to scientific theory, he could convert light energy into a plasma shield. When attacking, it would greatly increase the attack power, and when defending, it would also increase the defense power.
However, everything in the world had to follow the law of conservation of energy. Any energy needed a process of conversion, absorption, and release. Previously on the airship, Li Hong had released most of his energy to resist the explosion. Now, there was not much light energy left in his body.
Luo Kai saw that the white membrane on Li Hong's body was getting fainter and fainter. He was afraid that Li Hong would die soon. The line between friend and enemy was very blurred. If Li Hong hadn't saved him, he might have escaped long ago. But now, he couldn't just watch Li Hong die.
Since his body couldn't help, he could only rely on his spiritual power. He sat cross-legged on the ground and released his consciousness frequency, summoning the water molecules and evil energy that were everywhere in the world.
There was very little evil energy in this area, but the water molecules were very dense. Soon, dark clouds rose in the sky, and drifting rain poured down. Invisible water currents gathered together, forming a waterspout that swept towards the battlefield.
Water currents were the softest energy in the world. Luo Kai hadn't figured out the specific attack method, but it was possible to delay the enemy's movement.
Compared to the huge strength of the mecha creature, water currents were very small. However, as more and more water currents appeared and became denser, the battle on land became a battle in the water. Not only did it slow down, but it also reduced the enemy's strength to 60-70% at most.
