Chapter 149: Coordinated Assault from Inside and Outside
Among the enemy's warships, there was a clever individual, but that person underestimated my war experience.
In war, discovering anomalies and preparing defenses at the first moment is never a mistake.
A moment later, the water-based Transcendents responsible for mine clearing returned to the ships, and the leader among them reported to Li Yuansheng: "Report! Several naval mines have been found below, and they have been cleared."
"Very good!"
Li Yuansheng chuckled, his eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly said with a smile, "The enemy's tricks are nothing more than attempts to find ways to destroy our siege ships."
"Their target is the siege ships. As long as the siege ships are destroyed, they can re-enter the protection of the sea battle wall and gain the upper hand."
"So as long as we defend the siege ships properly, we can remain in an undefeatable position."
Having realized this, Li Yuansheng immediately ordered his Transcendents to all head to the siege ships and prepare for battle.
Outside, various large vessels formed a defensive circle around the siege ships.
Shields were erected, making the siege ships impregnable.
Inside, Transcendents stood within the siege ships, guarding their safety.
Li Yuansheng couldn't imagine from which aspect the enemy could launch another surprise attack.
...
The elite Transcendents originally on the lord-class vessels, following Li Yuansheng's command, rushed towards the central siege ships one after another.
Before long, the siege ships were crowded with Transcendent Marine Army members.
Distinct energy level fluctuations flashed continuously on the siege ships, making their defense impenetrable.
Li Yuansheng himself was a Transcendent, and under his perception, the siege ships were stable. He thus relaxed, laughed loudly, and ordered:
"Alright, continue forward."
As long as the siege ships can sail to an effective attack range and break through the sea battle wall of Lvchun Island.
Then, Lvchun Island will be captured.
"Hmm?!"
But at this moment, Li Yuansheng's pupils suddenly contracted violently; years of life-and-death battles had honed an almost instinctive danger sense.
Danger!
The energy level within him surged back to life at that moment.
In an instant, his Extraordinary Ability was activated.
At the same time, a gunshot rang out from behind Li Yuansheng.
"Bang!"
The muffled sound was like the grim reaper, carrying a chilling wave of terror.
Tearing through the void, it clawed menacingly towards Li Yuansheng.
"Bang!"
The dreadful force tore through the walls of the captain's cabin, ripping the space apart from inside out.
A figure stood a short distance outside the door, holding a handgun.
It was Fang Yu!
The shot just fired was indeed Fang Yu's doing.
However...
After the shot, Fang Yu let out a low sound of surprise and, without hesitation, fired two more shots forward.
He was shocked internally.
Li Yuansheng hadn't died!
In that instant, Li Yuansheng reacted, activated his Extraordinary Ability, and transformed his body into a sort of ethereal state.
The bullet passed through his body in this state without causing harm, only damaging the captain's cabin before shooting out.
Such quick reflexes...
No!
Fang Yu's expression was grave.
One might say that at the critical moment, a kind of muscle memory honed by innumerable battles made Li Yuansheng use that Extraordinary Ability instinctively, without thought.
Nonetheless...
Fang Yu did not give up attacking; instead, he darted forward again, continuing to fire bullets at Li Yuansheng with his handgun.
The ability to render his body intangible surely had a time limit.
Fang Yu could already sense that this state was gradually fading, and Li Yuansheng's body would shift from intangible back to corporeal.
As soon as Li Yuansheng returned to his normal state, Fang Yu would immediately unleash a gun ring, killing Li Yuansheng on the spot.
Yet at this moment, two powerful presences suddenly appeared in front of Fang Yu.
These were two Marine Army Transcendents.
One of them clearly had some kind of teleportation-type Extraordinary Ability.
After sensing Li Yuansheng was under attack, he instantly moved to his side, blocking in front of him.
"Captain, come with me!"
The Transcendent with the teleportation-type ability spoke quietly and reached out to grab Li Yuansheng, intending to take him away.
"Leave him to me!"
Fang Yu shouted coldly, his gun ring activating instantly, unleashing its deadly power upon the three.
The terrifying force erupted in an instant, causing the three's expressions to change drastically.
At this moment, the other Transcendent, eyes filled with determination, stepped forward resolutely, positioning himself between Li Yuansheng and the teleportation Transcendent, and shouted: "You two, go!"
The next instant, his body transformed into a crystal-like form, dazzling and incredibly strong.
He shouted loudly, directly shielding them from Fang Yu's explosive attack.
"Boom!"
The entire captain's cabin was completely torn apart, and this defense-type Transcendent's body, after withstanding Fang Yu's bullet for a mere second, turned to ashes.
Nonetheless... with his life, this individual still managed to buy time for Li Yuansheng and the teleportation Transcendent to escape.
