The Stars Beyond

Chapter 277: Slashing A Warship In Half

Above the clouds, a warship fired again, sending a blinding, terrifying beam of light crashing down like a comet from the sky, targeting the crowd below.

The enemy was ruthlessly killing, treating ordinary people as nothing, utterly disregarding their lives.

Wang Xuan, maneuvering his dark golden boat, witnessed this scene just as he was about to ascend. Filled with murderous intent, it had been a long time since he had felt such an urge to unleash a massacre.

The dark golden boat, enveloped in misty radiance, was fully activated by him. One of the flying swords in particular emitted a blinding light, colliding with the energy beam.

The twenty-something ordinary people, screaming in terror, stumbled and ran towards the city, unaccustomed to such chaos in a time of peace and tranquility.

"Mommy... I'm scared," cried the little girl, her shoes fallen off.

"Who's launching this terrorist attack? Have they gone mad?" A bolder individual glanced skyward in raging fury, helping his paralyzed companion escape towards the city.

Thankfully, they were spared from the energy beam.

Wang Xuan had blocked it. The sword light was brilliant, clashing with the energy beam.

The explosion was deafening, with light scattering everywhere. The residual energy that hit the ground burned through the surface, melting rocks and roads.

Had the beam struck the crowd, not only would lives have been lost, but even their bones would have disintegrated, leaving a massive, molten pit in its wake.

Wang Xuan's killing intent boiled. The people on the warship were inhumane, exploiting his compassion, repeatedly targeting ordinary people to restrain him.

"Stop killing, they're civilians, ordinary people without the means to resist! Even the target is protecting them, and we're..."

Among the clouds, aboard the warship, a pale-faced individual trembled as he spoke, unable to continue the assault.

On the warship, the blood-colored figure sat, its heart's bone vibrating as it uttered a cold voice: "Cheap sympathy, laughable weakness, all so useless. When I was practicing the Dark Blood God Technique, killing dozens or even razing a city was nothing!"

The crew of the warship showed fear at these words. This was no immortal but a demon cultivator, for whom murder and massacre were trivial matters.

A being like this, not perishing in the ancient times and now wreaking havoc in this era, was more than anyone could bear.

"Rest assured, I still have limits. Quickly target that overly sympathetic 'friend' below and eliminate him. You've already wasted precious time, which disappoints me greatly," the blood-colored figure said indifferently, sending shivers down the crew's spines with its oppressive aura.

The other two mid-sized warships also appeared in the distance, firing terrifying beams, which Wang Xuan dodged with his boat.

He watched the twenty-some people enter the city, knowing he couldn't do much more. If the transcendent beings in the sky went mad and truly attacked the city, he couldn't stop them. But surely, the major organizations on New Star wouldn't stand idly by in the face of such a crazed terrorist.

Now, Wang Xuan's killing intent was boiling!

On the dark golden boat, ancient divine beasts, birds, insects, and fish emerged in vivid detail, their inscriptions flowing with radiant light. This treasure was of an extremely high grade!

With a swoosh, Wang Xuan ascended rapidly, beyond patience, now only intent on hunting immortals!

The beings returned from behind the great veil were too unbridled. If he didn't annihilate them today, who knew what would happen in the future? Would they frequently attack him?

As Wang Xuan fully activated the dark golden boat, the engraved animals and ancient creatures seemed to come to life, more vivid than ever.

Despite the greater consumption of energy compared to before and the faster depletion of supermatter, under Wang Xuan's control, the entire boat seemed transformed.

With a swift motion, it became a streak of light, reaching the high sky in an instant, shockingly fast to the point of disbelief.

Evidently, if the warships didn't use space jumps or similar techniques, their regular speed might not match this boat, which was quite terrifying.

"Interesting, he's coming to us. That boat has the aura of a top-tier treasure, the more I look, the more I like it. Make sure to handle it carefully; don't damage it," said the figure aboard the warship, eyeing the approaching Wang Xuan with a mix of interest and caution. contemporary romance

Thud!

Beams interweaved as the warship opened fire, targeting Wang Xuan. The dark golden boat, smaller in size and incredibly agile, closed the distance between enemy and self at an unbelievable speed. Under Wang Xuan's strong spiritual perception, he avoided danger in advance.

Reaching high into the sky, weapons began to float around the boat. At the boat's dark golden bow, a flying sword rose, shrouded in five-colored light and misty immortal fog, densely inscribed with innumerable runes.

In that moment, it soared into the sky, leaving the boat, not just emitting sword light, but its very essence breaking through the air! The heavens and earth trembled lightly, and the clouds in the high sky were cleaved apart, dispersing instantly! In a sense, this was a true flying sword!

Wang Xuan's short sword lacked flying sword runes, always controlled by his powerful mental force, not quite suited for long-distance fierce battles.

Crack!

This flying sword was terrifying. Bursting with immortal light, its densely inscribed runes formed light symbols that swirled around it, effortlessly cleaving through everything, striking the warship.

Even though the ship was made of the latest alloy materials, extraordinarily sturdy, it was still split open. A section of the ship sparked and exploded with energy.

"What's happening?!" exclaimed many in the city below.

"Is the sky turning upside down? Just now, there seemed to be a warship attacking the ground, and now someone is piloting a boat, wielding a legendary flying sword to slash at modern sci-weaponry — a warship?"

In fact, from the onset of the horrific attack to Wang Xuan soaring into the sky and engaging the enemy, everything happened in the blink of an eye. Many in the city below had yet to grasp what was happening, with quite a few still dazed and confused.

Undoubtedly, this event would quickly spread, fermenting because of its immense impact.

The flying sword rapidly expanded, now over ten meters long, slicing through the warship and cleaving it open. Moreover, the dense runes on the sword triggered thunderous explosions, shattering and blowing apart a section of the warship.

Additionally, the sword's fire runes ignited waves of fire tens of meters high, engulfing the cold metal walls and melting part of the ship's body.

Even Wang Xuan was astonished at the power of this flying sword, surpassing many other magical artifacts!

A critically important section of the warship was punctured and destroyed beyond recognition!

Many on board the ship turned pale. What was happening? Someone was using a sword... to cleave a warship? This was the extreme embodiment of cold weapons challenging technological weaponry!

Swoosh!

The sword light erupted. Initially plain, the flying sword now shone brilliantly, swiftly slicing through the ship's body, leaving smooth cut surfaces.

Around the sword, numerous lights swirled, forming ancient characters resembling a scripture. It was as if someone was reciting sacred texts, accompanied by thunder and flames, wreaking havoc with terrifying destructive force, tearing and obliterating everything in the sword's path!
