Chapter 284: Chapter 156: Kill with a Counter Lance_2

Suddenly, a dazzling crimson radiance burst forth from his body, and like inflating, his body rapidly swelled as his skin turned into a coarse, mottled red, quickly deforming.

The entire person transformed into a five-meter-long red lizard, its surface covered with crystal-like gems.

"Genetic Release?" Isus’s expression turned slightly stern, "Red Crystal Lizard."

On the screen, the red lizard quickly burrowed into the ground, the thick soil parting before his eyes as easily as water waves, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The timing was too perfect, just as Morico and Duke Bai Ye were about to fly out of the warship.

"No good!" Isus’s expression changed dramatically, "Turn on the Life Magnetic Field detection at full power, lock onto its position; we mustn’t let it disappear!"

Fortunately, during Genetic Release, the life form’s energy field was almost impossible to conceal; they kept a firm lock on Coyle’s position.

"Good, underground. They can’t catch up to me here, I’ve actually managed to escape." Coyle was extremely excited at this moment, having escaped from certain death.

"Don’t celebrate too soon." That voice echoed again in his mind, "You’ve only temporarily escaped from the encirclement. Two Class-B life forms are closely following, and there are traces to follow."

In reality, Li Ming couldn’t see Coyle’s figure at the moment, naturally unaware of what he was saying.

However, he could guess that having escaped from death, Coyle must be very excited right now.

"What should I do?" Coyle, as if doused with cold water, asked instinctively.

After the recent event, he had absolute trust in the voice in his mind.

Li Ming watched the rapidly moving small light spot on the screen, "Naturally, it’s time for a counterattack! Create a time difference, strike back, and at the seventh ship, Isus, Feder, and Li Ming are all here."

Coyle’s heart jolted suddenly.

Inside the cabin, Feder furrowed his brows: "He seems to know our every move. Morico and Duke Bai Ye are about to engage, and the artillery fire will inevitably cease. This is a fleeting opportunity, yet he seized it so precisely?"

"If it’s all going to be such nonsense, you better not say anything." Isus had naturally realized this much earlier.

If it hadn’t been confirmed already that there was no signal transmitting out of the cabin, he would have suspected that someone was tipping Coyle off on the scene.

"Disable the Energy Barrier, let Morico and Duke Bai Ye catch up!" Isus commanded over the channel.

On the big screen, Coyle’s position had now turned into a red dot, shared in real-time with Morico and Duke Bai Ye.

The two sped towards the target location, one after another.

Three minutes later, the light spot on the screen suddenly disappeared, silencing the cabin. The deputy commander carefully said, "Your Highness, Coyle’s position has disappeared."

"He must have canceled the Genetic Release."

"I know!" Isus’s body shuddered slightly, dismayed that their well-laid trap kept failing unexpectedly.

Catching such fleeting opportunities once was enough, but almost every time, the opponent seized them.

And he accurately predicted all of their responses, playing them like a fiddle.

This couldn’t be the level of a Torch officer; Isus deeply suspected.

Fortunately, Isus hadn’t been completely blinded by rage, and made a response, "Have Morico and Duke Bai Ye head to the final position and search nearby."

"Since he has halted the liberation form and concealed the Life Magnetic Field, his speed of movement must not be fast."

"Understood." The staff quickly executed the commands.

But minutes later, a conspicuous red dot suddenly reappeared on the large screen in the command room.

The deputy commander’s face lit up: "We’ve relocked Coyle’s position, he..."

Halfway through, his expression turned to one of sheer terror, "He’s returning to the encirclement!"

"What!?" Isus gasped in shock, intently watching the red dot on the screen, indeed seeing it retracing its original path, and even faster because the tunnel was already dug.

"Quick, tell Morico and Duke Bai Ye to come back!"

Feder suddenly had a bad premonition, incredulously saying, "He never intended to escape, did he? Is his target us?"

"What on earth is this guy capable of, that he could be entrapped by you all in a blockade?"

Isus had no time to care about what Feder was saying, his eyes transfixed on the screen, he murmured in a low voice, "The escort ships of the Wing Shadow fleet are all exactly the same model, I don’t believe he can really lock directly onto us."

As soon as his words fell, the ground in a certain area tore open, the tactical monitor quickly locked on, and by the time the image appeared, there was nothing left but a hole on the ground.

That figure was incredibly defined, although on the screen it was just a blurry straight line, rushing directly towards the seventh warship.

There was a loud bang, the cabin violently shook, red lights flashed, and alarms sounded incessantly.

"Warning--hull breach on the right wing, please repair immediately!"

Feder’s face turned pale, this guy really knew where they were!

Chen Jinglong and two others reacted swiftly, one person stood by Li Ming, Isus, and Feder respectively.

Almost simultaneously, with a bang, the metal door of the command room was blown open, creating a large hole.

Coyle rushed in, surrounded by red flames forming a shield, his target extremely clear, without any hesitation, he headed straight for Li Ming at the porthole, moving at a speed barely visible to the naked eye.

"Sanger is Feder’s man, he will definitely stand by Feder’s side, protecting him with his life, and Ren Cangsong and Chen Jinglong are from Blue Star, but they are not professional guards."

"You charge at Li Ming, and the other two will instinctively protect him."

The voice in his mind had already laid out a detailed plan for him.

Coyle’s eyes were resolute, and Ren Cangsong, who stood beside Isus, his face drastically changed.

Li Ming was a key talent from Blue Star with boundless prospects, he must not meet with any accidents.

Whoosh!

Chen Jinglong’s expression was grave as black flames surged tumultuously around him and Li Ming.

At the same time, Ren Cangsong’s body was wrapped in golden electric arcs, his face full of anger, he charged with great force.

Coyle quickly adjusted his stance, Chen Jinglong frowned deeply, and then his expression drastically changed, "Wait!"

By the time his words were spoken, it was already too late,

Bang!!

A heavy blow landed on Coyle’s side, the flickering red energy shield shattered like paper, the dull thud of flesh being hit sounding like muffled thunder, and a golden shock ring erupted from the spot hit.

Coyle flew back even faster but because he had adjusted his position, his diagonal trajectory brought him alarmingly close to Isus.

Isus had already reacted, panic rising in his heart, his instinct was to run, but a force he couldn’t break free from had already gripped his throat.

"Stop!" Coyle roared hoarsely, his hair spilling before his eyes, his gaze both frenzied and excited as it peeked through the gaps in his strands.

One hand was choking Isus’s neck, the other pressed on his skull, ready to kill him with any forceful exertion.

Ren Cangsong’s steps halted harshly, his expression ugly, Chen Jinglong’s face was taut, and Sanger, who had always stood by Feder, never budging, now appeared gravely solemn as well.

If Morico were here, he would do the same as Sanger, not caring about the life and death of others.

Their goal, as long as the person they protected was unharmed, that was enough.

Feder let out a slight sigh of relief, thank goodness, the target was not him.

At the same time, he was increasingly shocked, this person was too terrifying, somehow carving out a path for life from a certain death.

Moreover, this guy actually knew they were on this warship, while all the escort ships of the Wing Shadow fleet were of the same model, indistinguishable from each other.

If Coyle could directly strike at them, it proved that he had known all along, it was definitely not something that could be explained by luck.

There’s a mole... The idea surfaced subconsciously in his mind, his heart tightening, but now was not the time to figure out who it was.

He glanced at Li Ming, only to see that he too appeared to be shaken up.

"Hahaha..." Coyle laughed madly, "Good, very good!"

The captive Isus was extremely angry and panicked, mixed with fear.

It was hard to imagine, this roundup turned out this way, trapping the hunters in a net, he himself ended up captured?
