Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting - Chapter 852

C.852: Powerful Opponent
TL : BluVerse

“Enter.”

With Lan Xuanyu’s command, the stealth on the surface of the warship was instantly removed, and then, like a fish, it dived into the asteroid belt. They had officially entered the Chaos Star Field.

As they entered the asteroid belt, the warship began to vibrate slightly. This was caused by external magnetic field interference. The shield was activated to resist the magnetic field. However, the radar’s effectiveness would be greatly reduced here.

Lan Xuanyu closed his eyes and relied solely on the warship’s spiritual amplifier to sense the outside world. Everyone had entered combat state.

Soon after their warship flew inward, they discovered some ship debris, which seemed to have been generated by the previously exploded warship.

The debris was just ordinary alloys, and only the core components could be rare metals. The metal detector started to search for available resources and collect them as the spacecraft carefully advanced.

During their cautious advance, suddenly, a huge meteor behind a large asteroid in front of them seemed to flash with light.

The 33 Sky Wings Warship reacted extremely quickly. The thrusters were immediately activated, and only the left half of the thrusters emitted light, causing the warship to tilt. Then, with all thrusters fully opened, the warship accelerated sharply and rushed out diagonally.

A strong light flashed by, and where it passed, small and medium-sized meteors turned into flying ash and disappeared.

An ambush. As expected, the attack came at the first moment.

As the warship rushed out diagonally, everyone had already started to get busy. Fighting had become a habit ingrained in their bones. One after another, the guided missiles shot out like blooming flowers, while the warship itself retreated backward.

The enemy warship missed its first shot and disappeared behind the large meteorite, showing no intention of pursuing them.

The warships that could survive in this area were all extremely intelligent and would never easily give their opponents a chance, putting themselves in danger.

But what the enemy warship did not notice was a nimble figure among the guided missiles. She silently stuck behind a meteorite, and her color instantly became identical to the meteorite.

The warship of the 33 Sky Wings flew upward, and at the same time, the eight secondary guns on both sides opened fire, launching probing attacks on strategic positions in the distance.

In space battle, this was a kind of firepower reconnaissance and also a show of military force, telling the other side that they had sufficient energy and not to get any funny ideas.

At the same time, the 33 Sky Wings Warships slowly pulled back, creating distance between themselves and the warship that had attacked them earlier.

Their opponent was a jet-black warship, which, although unable to cloak itself here, was still very clever at concealing its presence. It also had a simple but very practical color-changing system. When it approached an asteroid, its body would change color slightly to blend in with the asteroid.

Here, the effectiveness of radar was greatly reduced, and visual reconnaissance still had significance.

This warship had no intention of letting the 33 Sky Wings escape, and it moved nimbly between the asteroids, always utilizing them to obstruct the opponent’s line of sight and remain hidden. There was no doubt that it was an extremely experienced warship.

It was also a meteor class warship, with many scars on the surface of the ship, and the strength of its shields was only about half of its optimal state. But it was like a shark in the starry sea, showing its sharp teeth and looking for the best opportunity.

The previous meteor class warship fell under their attack. This was the seventh warship they had defeated since entering the Chaos Star Field.

Their commander had a clear plan. With the remaining energy, they had the possibility of defeating another warship. They obtained a large number of rare metals this time, and many of them were very high-level rare metals. These rare metals of such a level were best used for resource exchange, rather than being directly used as fuel, which would be a waste.

At this moment, they were on the outskirts of the Chaos Star Field, preparing to return. The previous surprise attack had taken down another opponent, boosting the confidence of the warship to the extreme. All crew members were also at the peak of their piloting state. The warship moved agilely like a fish swimming in the asteroid belt, quietly approaching Lan Xuanyu and his team.

When they saw the light from the secondary guns firing, many crew members’ faces showed ferocity and excitement. While using the secondary guns for intimidation indicated firepower reconnaissance and sufficient energy, it also meant that the opponent was showing weakness. Most importantly, through the light of the secondary guns, they could easily determine the opponent’s specific location.

Being pinpointed in the Chaos Star Field was an absolute taboo! Undoubtedly, the opponent was a novice.

Despite this, they remained vigilant and quietly approached while recharging their weapons. The strength of their shields had been lowered a bit. They had been in this area for some time and had scouted everything, except for the newly arrived enemy warship.

Lowering their shields meant enhancing their attacks. The main cannon was quickly recharging. They needed the perfect opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the enemy and eliminate the last opponent in this mission.

Soon, they approached the area where Lan Xuanyu had released the guided missiles. The main purpose of the guided missiles was to release electronic signals and guide long-range attacks. But they had no attacking power. In space warfare, clearing guided missiles was a very important task to avoid locking onto the signal deviation from the original trajectory during the attack.

Thin beams of light shot out and silently cleared the area of the guiding missiles as the dark warship passed by. The skill of the warship’s pilot was impressive as they cleared the area with precision and without making any noise. They even occasionally revealed their presence in the asteroid belt.

Clearing the missiles would surely alert those who had released them. However, the pilot hoped that their actions would lure Lan Xuanyu and his crew out. If two warships collided head-on, it would come down to the skill, experience, and quality of the ships and their pilots. Sure enough, 33 Sky Wings, from afar, noticed the situation and quickly emerged from the asteroid belt with its main cannon already charged.

In space warfare, every opportunity must be seized, and hesitation could result in a total loss.

The black warship did not attempt to hide itself again, but instead made a very bizarre move. It stayed in place without evading, and the protective shield was lowered to its minimum level, only unaffected by the surrounding magnetic fields. Then, on one side of the warship, a large amount of material was suddenly ejected and gathered towards the same location in the distance.

The sight was strange, as if many metal fragments had been ejected from the black warship, and these fragments had gathered together in the distance to form a metal sphere.
In the next moment, the condensed metal sphere suddenly burst forth with a dazzling red light.

The main cannon fired by the 33 Sky Wings was drawn toward it, and the huge beam of light from the main cannon drew an arc in the air, shooting directly toward that ball of red light.

What was this

The guided missile, yes, the black warship also released its guided missiles. But it was only after the main cannon on the 33 Sky Wings had been fired that they were quickly released. The guided missiles were controlled with incredible precision, gathering together and releasing guided electronic waves.

This was truly a case of daring artistry! It should be noted that guided missiles were not always successful, and there is a possibility that the enemy’s attack may not be guided.

The reason for reducing the energy intensity of the protective shield was to reduce its attraction while also conserving energy. A large number of guided missiles were gathered and released electronic waves at the same time.
