Chapter 711: 322. Shipbreaker Master

——No matter what, I wanted to live.

Bang!

Li Aozi raised his hand to block her claw attack and, taking the opportunity, lifted his hand blade to strike neatly at her arm’s bend, then kicked to send Nephis flying. As she hit the ground, he dragged the blade towards her, tilting it slightly to rest on her lower abdomen.

"——Hmm?"

Nephis was taken aback.

Rip!

Li Aozi unceremoniously dragged the blade, slicing open the seam in her abdominal armor. Instead of intestines, however, what flowed out were artificial organs, a hybrid of Implant Gear and machinery.

"Hiss!"

Nephis felt no pain but instinctively clenched her teeth, her body trembling. She covered the wound and stuffed the organs back in, quickly sealing it temporarily with growing scales.

Whoosh!

Just as she raised her head, Li Aozi’s blade had already reached her neck.

"Don’t die. Stand up and continue to fight."

"...Hmm."

Nephis quickly lowered her head and with a shoulder barge dove into Li Aozi’s embrace, spinning to land an elbow strike on his abdominal armor.

Qi Energy explosion!

The Steadfast Elbow drove into his chest and then instantly, Qi Energy permeated through, erupting and spreading out from him.

Bang!

Li Aozi stood unmoved, but this caused him to halt his steps; his left eye glowed with silver runes, tracking Nephis’s movements, while his right eye spun up the purple-red Luck.

[Calamity]descended.

Not long after Nephis avoided his attack range, the ground beneath her trembled, but she immediately adjusted her balance and propelled herself towards him.

[Bloodline]

Li Aozi pushed out a steady palm, and Nephis met the attack head-on, then launched both claws towards him!

——Even if I have nothing at all, at least I still have life.

Crack!

Li Aozi stepped into a spatial rift, appearing behind Nephis, raising his hand.

Gravity reversal!

Within the range of Arcane Energy, all objects were detached from their place and fell towards the sky; the land below instantly hurled towards Nephis.

——Only today, for the first time, did I feel fear.

Nephis tiptoed on the ground, her fingertips digging into the earth to prevent her body from falling into the air, the core in her abdomen exerting force. Relying on her toes’ grip, she charged at Li Aozi once again, raising her fist to strike at his thigh.

Swoosh——!

The blazing wings obscured Nephis’s view as a layer of sulfur spread over her body. Sodom circled around and slashed a blade down from behind her.

A fire erupted on Nephis’s back. Just as she turned to pounce and kill the angel, from the shadows under her feet, the Shadow Demon Gomorrah sprang out, forcefully adhering to her.

Transcendence Ban!

Qi Energy was instantly cut off, and Nephis lost the enhancement of her strength, unable to resist gravity any longer, she plummeted rapidly into space.

——The fear of death is precisely because I have a life.

She flailed her arms, bashing herself, trying to cast out the demon on her, but as the air thinned and the vacuum of space exerted its pull, she was accelerated towards the cosmic maw.

Thump!

Her back slammed hard against the prow of a spaceship, halting her fall and giving her a chance to rise. But as her hands pressed against the white deck, the solid surface transmitted roaring sounds of gnashing teeth:

"Leo! Oz!"

Was that, Nariya?

Before Nephis could react, Nariya stomped on the accelerator, her hands gripping the lever tightly, then pushed it forward:

"Hey, piece of junk, go fetch him for me——bring Leo Oz back!!!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Li Aozi slowly lifted his head to look at the large spaceship that broke through the sky, advancing downward against the reversed gravity—he noticed the purple-white paint scheme and the flamboyant cannons signifying its identity as a warship.

It was one of the corporate battlesquence ships.

Under the curse of the "Calamity," it seemed that Nariya had finally shown her true colors.

"Woah, woah, woah! Seth Ergan-class intelligent destroyer—you’ve got some nice toys there."

Priestess Alia clung tightly to the safety handle, pressed firmly into her seat by the overload, but that didn’t stop her from marveling at the expensive warship:

"If you have a trump card, you should use it right from the start. Hiding it only leads to greater losses—"

"Shut up!"

"Kill him, then resurrect him!"

Nariya’s face twisted, and she laughed shrilly as the turrets swiftly turned, beginning to bombard the ground where Li Aozi stood.

[Frost Ray Activation: Containment Mode]

Whoosh—

The blinding blue beam fell in an instant, instantly removing the heat from the space around Li Aozi, subsequently forming stagnant frost. His movements immediately slowed to a stiff crawl

[Neutron Scattering Coverage in progress—Power at 70%]

Lines of emerald high-energy beams fell relentlessly. Li Aozi crossed his arms, expanding a field of gravity to deflect the beams, allowing the nearby ground and mountains to evaporate while his figure remained completely still.

[700mm Void Energy Naval Gun charging—Ammunition loading complete]

"Go and finish off Leoz!"

Nariya sneered, her face contorted as she pulled the trigger.

Humming—BOOM!!!

The pale purple glow burst forth in an instant, swallowing both Li Aozi on the ground and his surrounding Arcane Energy field.

Under the continuous bombardment of Void Energy lasers, the earth was purged, and everything it touched was annihilated, piercing through the entire Grave Star Cluster in a moment.

The speed was very fast, as if flipping the switch of a flashlight.

Click—thud.

With Nariya’s finger leaving the trigger, a hole with a diameter of 120 kilometers was immediately blasted into the Grave Star Cluster.

Rumbling, rumbling, rumbling...

Gravity returned to normal, and the Seth Ergan-class battleship regained its cruising speed in an instant, charging straight down the bored hole.

"Hey! Merchandise! Go and slaughter him!"

She couldn’t stand it any longer. She shouted out twice but received no response.

"Tch! Disobedient junk."

Nariya cursed, then immediately slammed the helm to the left, beginning to turn around.

"I must go back and confirm Li Aozi’s status...".

A surge of air rushed in, causing the triangular ship to be at a slight disadvantage as it turned, taking a full two seconds to complete half the turn.

Just as the bow was about to complete a 180-degree turn, Nariya suddenly noticed a flash of light in front of her.

"Hm? What’s that?"

She instinctively leaned out.

"Nariya, I have a bad feeling about this—"

Crack!

The glass in front of the bridge shattered instantly, and before Nariya could react, a deep red, maggot-infested demon sword pierced through Priestess Alia next to her. The latter couldn’t even let out a wail before her wounds erupted with fat, wriggling maggots.

Zipping noises!

It was only then that the ship’s intelligent anti-air system reacted, extending to fire at the deep blue sparks flying erratically through the sky.

"Damn it!"

Nariya trembled, an adrenaline rush surging through her as she gripped the control stick:

"Turn, turn, turn!"

But even with the torque at its maximum, the destroyer, especially deep within the atmosphere of a high-pressure planet, couldn’t accelerate no matter what.

Bang!

A violent impact came from above; Nariya smashed her head against the dashboard. The fact that her head was bloody was secondary; her first reaction was to sit still and murmur:

"—This ship is done for!"
