Chapter 1864: I’m in a Hurry. Come Together!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Fiery Eye, Heavy Cannon, and Death Shadow, the three experts from the Black Wind Fleet, were all ruthless, brutal men who had killed countless people and left countless terrible tales behind them.
Even among the experts of the Black Wind Fleet who were watching the battle, a lot of people had seen them destroying everything in their way unstoppably with their own eyes. Some had even experienced their overwhelming magnificence personally.
But their enemy…
It was Vulture Li Yao!
Ten years was long enough for the expedition army to get enough knowledge of their prey, the ‘Star Glory Federation’, or knowledge that they thought was enough.
They had heard the name of Vulture Li Yao before, but they did not think that it was a big deal back then, mistaking it for some sort of propaganda and deification. Turning a dead hero into the idol of a country was a trick that had been adopted too many times.
They had collected some of Li Yao’s battle videos from a hundred years ago. They had to admit that he was rather distinguished to have trained himself with such abilities at the edge of the cosmos.
But he was still nothing more than ‘distinguished’.
None of the Immortal Cultivators had considered Li Yao an obstacle on their path to conquer the Star Glory Federation.
It was not until Li Yao announced his grand return with eleven experts from the Ancient Sages Sector and twelve Colossi, blew up the space gate, and killed the commander of the Black Wind Fleet that the defeated soldiers of the Black Wind Fleet suddenly realized that all the rumors were true. Vulture Li Yao was as intimidating as the rumors made out!
When he was in the Core Formation Stage, he had killed the star child, an elite scout from the Imperium of True Human Beings. Then, he united the Heaven’s Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector on his own. The commander of the Black Wind Fleet, the extraterrestrial devils, and the resurrected member of the Pangu Clan had all been slain by him. How could the defeated soldiers of the Black Wind Fleet not feel shocked and scared by such an expert?
Before the battle started, all the Immortal Cultivators were already soaked in cold sweat. They only hoped to win at least one of the three matches, even if it was a tie. As long as the failure was not too humiliating, the last bit of dignity of the Black Wind Fleet would remain.
“My fellow Cultivators…” Di Feiwen was particularly ugly, but he had a warm and comforting voice. Whoever heard him talking would feel that they were walking in a spring breeze and could not refuse to believe what he said. “Watch the show carefully now. Don’t forget our deal. I believe that nobody will regret it after witnessing Vulture Li Yao’s astonishing performance.”
Inside the space station, the three Immortal Cultivators between the high level and the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage slowly landed.
Even the condescending experts from the center of the cosmos did not dare act arrogantly faced with Vulture Li Yao, a local tyrant from the edge of the cosmos. They bowed to Li Yao at the same time to show respect.
“…Fellow Cultivator Li, to decide the fate of the Black Wind Fleet and even the Star Glory Federation, we are going to have a fair competition as per our agreement,” ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei said cautiously. “We have already taken enough advantage of you by sending out three champions on our side. Then, it is only reasonable that you get to decide the order of our fights. I wonder, which of us do you want to compete with first?”
“In that case…”
Li Yao nodded. While warming up his wrists and ankles casually, he walked to the three Immortal Cultivators.
He seemed to be observing his opponents carefully and deciding his first challenger. However, while he was walking, the floor that was made of super alloys broke apart all of a sudden, as if an invisible bomb had exploded below his feet!
The speed of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was accelerated to the maximum in the moment. Li Yao’s shadow was divided into three and darted at the three Immortal Cultivators at the same time.
“We don’t have to go through that trouble. I’m in a hurry. The three of you can come together!”
Before the sonic boom reached their ears, Li Yao’s thunderous roar was already echoing in the entire space station!
“What!”
The pupils of ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu, ‘Heaven Cannon’ Lei Long, and ‘Death Shadow’ Murong Wei were immediately constricted. The leadership of the Immortal Cultivators and the Cultivators on Black Ray and in the highest command center all jumped to their feet, too.
Three shadows lunged at the front of the three Immortal Cultivators at the same time. Logically, only one of them could be real, but the most dangerous alarms were ringing inside the heads of the three Immortal Cultivators at the same time.
Hardly had they activated their most powerful spiritual shields when the three shadows that Li Yao constructed exploded at the same time. The fireballs they raised entangled them like raging chrysanthemums.
The three shadows all turned out to be real. Li Yao had divided his crystal suits into three parts in a moment and mixed a lot of crystal bombs and fragments of crystal suits from his Cosmos Ring with them.
If the Immortal Cultivators had mistaken them for simple blurred shadows, they certainly would have been wounded!
“Excellent!”
The three Immortal Cultivators were too experienced to be fooled, but their reaction only made Li Yao more eager to fight. Wearing a smile that he did not even realize himself, he put on a brand-new Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit for melee combat while he complimented his enemy. The elbows, knees, feet, and fingers of the new crystal suit had all been installed with sharp daggers that were powered by spiritual energy and could vibrate ten thousand times per second. He then attacked ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu, the super gunfighter on the left side.
Launching attacks at three Immortal Cultivators who were between the high level and the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage and were almost as good as him at the same time was not because Li Yao overestimated himself but a result of careful calculation and deduction.
After agreeing to the uncanny duel proposed by Di Feiwen, Li Yao had been studying the three champions on the enemy’s side.
They were, without a doubt, the best experts in what was left of the Black Wind Fleet, but they had a major shortcoming—they lacked teamwork and cooperation.
Fiery Eye, Heavy Cannon, and Death Shadow were from the Fiery Spider Sector, the Hard Rock Sector, and the Black Wind Fleet respectively. They were not close comrades in the first place. It was only because their original worlds had all been crushed by the Covenant Alliance a hundred years ago, which turned all of them into homeless dogs, that they had joined hands in order to prevent further collapses.
Naturally, the Black Wind Fleet had been taking advantage of the smaller worlds while they were in trouble, too. It was not hard to infer that ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu and ‘Heavy Cannon’ Lei Long, as experts not from the Black Wind Sector, did not feel too happy about it.
In the past hundred years, due to the lack of resources, they had spent most of the time in hibernation. Naturally, it was impossible for them to train with each other on tactical cooperation.
Every Nascent Soul Stage expert was a dreadful slaughtering machine. Everybody had their own special styles, habits, and even taboos.
Without figuring out each other’s styles and characteristics, and before the high-intensity training of cooperation was conducted, if a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator entered another Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator’s battlefield, they could prove to be more of a burden.
Therefore, Li Yao was seventy-percent confident that the three experienced Nascent Soul Stage experts were far from comrades with neat teamwork but would more likely hamstring each other.
On the other hand, Li Yao’s greatest advantage was his mysteriousness.
The enemy only had the battle videos of him in crystal suits a hundred years ago and the dynamic analysis of his performance in the space battle in the Tartarean Skeleton half a year ago. It was impossible for them to learn the achievements of his crazy training in the recent half year after swallowing tremendous tenebrum energy.
That was his greatest trump card.
If he fought the opponents one by one, whether he won the first two rounds or not, the enemy would certainly accumulate tremendous battle data about him, and his trump card would be seen through. In that case, the final round would be very difficult to win.
Thus, Li Yao could not afford to fight three simple warriors in such a prolonged match.
Only by taking down three formidable enemies in a one-versus-three battle would the Black Wind Fleet be completely awed and convinced!
‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu was the breaking point that he had chosen, not because he was the weakest among the three of them, but because—
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
Hundreds of deadly rays darted out from the fire around Wan Xiu and lunged at Li Yao like a dragnet. Every pore on Li Yao’s body was sending out alarms of the highest level!
Li Yao’s usually half-closed eyes were widened to the maximum at that moment. Invisible ripples spread out of his body and established an enormous force field of disruption. He performed a remote manipulation technique to compete for the rushing bullets in midair with ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu.
The tricky trajectories of the bullets became clumsy and slow. Some of the bullets seemed to have been bogged down in thick glue. A lot of the highly-explosive bullets that contained marrow crystals exploded, raising brilliant flowers of sparks between the two of them.
In the meantime, a volcano slowly rose from the depths of Li Yao’s brain. A gate to hell seemed to have opened between his eyebrows. Infinite spiritual energy spurted out and congregated into indescribably horrible pictures. It was the most powerful mental attack!
By mental attack, it meant interfering with the enemy’s brainwaves with one’s own brainwaves.
Li Yao was an expert of mental attacks in the first place. After receiving the tremendous legacy from Professor Mo Xuan and the extraterrestrial devils, he was even more adept at such arts.
‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu had been polishing his eyes with special secret medicines since childhood. The vision imaging mechanism of his eyes was different from normal. His eyes were keener and could see a longer waveband of the light, allowing him to see a lot of things that normal people could not, including even the ripples of part of the brainwaves.
In other words, because he could see further and more clearly, he was also more vulnerable to mental attacks.
“If you’ve got such good eyes, why don’t I give you everything to see?”
It seemed as if a supernova break was erupting in Li Yao’s conarium, spurting out the most violent spiritual energy at ‘Fiery Eye’ Wan Xiu incessantly.
The illusions he constructed were perhaps simple bugs, skeletons, or zombies for normal Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators. They were black-and-white and quite dim.
However, in the eyes of Wan Xiu, the decayed corpses and the wriggling and exploding maggots on them all had ten thousand colors with the tiniest details. They were vividly etched into his brain!
