Chapter 1441 The Reappearance of the Clown
“Let’s run.”
Ke Zhan said powerlessly, “We can’t fight anymore. The large-scale dispatch of troops by the three sects represents their stand. Just the Blackhill Empire alone wouldn’t get to ask for Fifth Heavenly King’s help.”
“All we can do is run.”
Someone said, “If we can escape, it will be our best ending.”
“But guys, look around!”
A high-position official’s voice was full of fear.
At first glance, they saw the ones of the Sacred Wolf Mountain in front of them and a fleet in the distance behind those people.
It was the Blackhill Empire’s fleet.
There were other fleets of the Black Mountain Empire in all four directions. Without a doubt, the crowd had been besieged.
“Alert, space turbulence interference.
“Alert, space magnetic force interference.
“Alert, unable to jump into the secondary space.
“Alert…”
A series of alarm sounds that made people desperate rang out.
Zi Yan closed her eyes, feeling helpless and powerless, but her tone was extremely cold.
She said indifferently, “Retreat according to the original route.”
Zi Yan’s words could stabilize the morale of the army.
“Retreat!”
Ke Zhan gritted his teeth and gave the order.
As their fleet moved, the silver mecha in the distance also flew over quickly. It seemed that the Fifth Heavenly King was about to take the lead in the charge.
“Open the defensive ring.”
Countless fleets gathered to form a formation. The energy cabins were activated and the defensive barriers were activated.
At this moment, the enemy ships in many directions began to suppress Zi Yan’s fleet with firepower.
Endless artillery blasts bombarded the defensive barrier.
This was a war of attrition, and it was obviously very difficult for the Purple Moon Empire to evacuate.
Fortunately, more than a thousand of their spaceships were high-end ones from the Astral Domain, so their defense was very strong. They also had thousands of medium-sized spaceships waiting for orders in their rear.
“Get more reinforcements!”
After Ke Zhan gave the other, his men replied, “Sir, the fleet in the rear has been attacked… AHH!”
With a loud boom, the communication was cut off.
The faces of all the people present gradually darkened.
“We’re doomed. DOOMED.”
“Even if we jump into the secondary space, which is something that we can’t achieve, we will still be hunted down.”
“Escaping is just too difficult.”
“We shouldn’t have expanded so unscrupulously. We should have followed the prescribed order and received the approval of the three great sects to develop.”
It seemed that some people were going to complain.
At this moment, the morale had started to be undermined.
Zi Yan said in a cold voice, “Open the cabin door.”
The cabin door opened, and under everyone’s gaze, a stream of light quickly flashed past.
“What is this?”
A little penguin happily walked to the gate.
It was cute, but at this time, no one cared about how it looked.
But everyone also knew this little creature might have some ability. Otherwise, why would Moon Empress release it?
“Murmur. Murmur.”
Tiny Tot cried out twice and walked out in a wobbly manner. Just like that, it followed the corridor to the end. When the outer cabin door opened, it jumped out.
“Coo!”
It was as if a soul cry was reverberating in the starry sky.
Boundless black light began to appear, blocking the besieging energy.
A crack was created.
“Let’s run!”
“This is great!”
“Run now!”
“What’s this big guy?”
Everyone present was stunned.
Even the silver mecha that was charging forward was shocked.
After seeing it clearly, the Fifth Heavenly King gasped.
“Is, is this a Roc? A young Roc! Hahaha, a young Roc, and it’s alive! We must catch it!”
He could only watch as a piece of the blockade was swallowed up and a crack appeared.
The hundreds of high-end spaceships of the Purple Moon Empire crossed the exit and jumped into the secondary space to escape.
“Lock on to the target. Go after them!”
The Fifth Heavenly King retrieved his mecha and returned to the spaceship in a flash. A hunting had begun.
“Leave the secondary space.”
Ke Zhan said hurriedly, “Inform all the rear troops to evacuate and announce the route in the schedule.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The fleet jumped out of the secondary space and got back in less than five seconds after the message was sent.
They had to make full use of every second.
As soon as they jumped into the secondary space, the huge fleet that had been going after them also appeared in this void. Then, the fleet jumped into the secondary spatial space and chased after them relentlessly.
According to the escape route, they would travel from the border area to the other side of the Ocean Astral Domain and then set foot on the way to the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven.
Originally, it would have only taken them a little time, but now, the situation was not so optimistic.
“At this rate, we’ll be caught within ten days. I’m afraid they’ll send someone to ambush us in advance.”
A trace of worry appeared on Ke Zhan’s face.
One good thing was that the enemy didn’t know their escape route, so it would be hard for the other party to ambush them in advance.
Even so, they had to think of a way within the next ten days. At the very least, they needed to stall the pursuers.
One day, two days, three days had passed…
On the tenth day.
“Alert. A magnetic force explosion is happening. The spaceships are about to jump out of the secondary space.”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
When the fleet jumped out of the secondary space, the crowd suddenly found that two enemy fleets were already awaiting them.
Endless firepower, along with all kinds of besiege moves, came at them.
Only five seconds later, the army chasing after them appeared in the starry sky.
“We’re doomed!”
“Let’s fight. Fight to the death!”
“Let’s try to escape. Moon Empress will take us to escape.”
The battle had begun.
The cultivation of the Fifth Heavenly King was matchless, and no one on Zi Yan’s side could resist his attacks.
With just one move, the Fifth Heavenly King controlled the huge mecha and immediately destroyed a spaceship with his broadsword. He held the broadsword in his right hand, and with every wave, he could destroy a spaceship.
At this rate, he would not be able to kill more than a thousand spaceships.
The atmosphere of despair and fear was spreading.
“What should we do?”
Many people were asking Zi Yan.
“What should we do?”
The Fifth Heavenly King was in the Peak Stage of the Mastery Realm, and he was so much more powerful than them.
Only at this moment did they realize that in the eyes of the three sects, destroying some faction from the outer regions was as easy as crushing an ant for them.
The Fifth Heavenly King said coldly, “Hand over the Roc and I’ll spare your lives.”
“Moon Empress, if we hand over that Roc, we won’t have to die!”
Some people began to try to persuade Zi Yan.
They earnestly advised, “As long as there is life, there is hope. If we hand over that Roc, we can even build a good relationship with the Fifth Heavenly King and develop our force here. Isn’t it better than going to the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven?”
“That’s right. If we have the protection of the Fifth Heavenly King, the Blackhill Empire wouldn’t dare to oppose us. In fact, they would even hand over an enormous territory.”
“Moon Empress, that’s just a spirit beast. Hand it over.”
In the face of these voices that disturbed her, Zi Yan was a little tired.
She didn’t want to think too much. She didn’t want Tiny Tot to be handed over.
However, if they refused to hand it over, her subordinates would die.
As for her, what would happen to her if she was caught by the Fifth Heavenly King and her appearance was exposed to the public?
Whether the Fifth Heavenly King bestowed on her the title of his concubine or gave her to the others, Zi Yan would not be willing to take it, even if she would get killed for her resistance.
After thinking about it for a while, she found that she was running out of options.
“Honey, what should I do?”
Zi Yan gently bit her lower lip.
Just as she was at a loss.
Just as everyone thought that the Purple Moon Empire was about to be destroyed.
Just as the Fifth Heavenly King felt that he was going to get a young Roc.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The vast starry sky around them seemed to have been blown by the wind.
Wisps of light black smoke suddenly appeared. Gradually, the mist became extremely large as it kept growing bigger. It seemed to be a space turbulence.
“Hmm?”
The Fifth Heavenly King stopped, turned around, and looked over with sharp eyes.
Many warships stopped attacking. While besieging the fleet of the Purple Moon Empire, they were also on guard.
Suddenly, the black mist that filled the sky turned into a huge figure.
“What’s that?”
It was a demonic figure.
All of a sudden, the black mist kept surging, and the area expanded ten times over as if it was going to cover all the spaceships present.
Unexpectedly, a clown mask appeared out of the black mist.
“Demonic Ghost King Clown?”
Zi Yan’s face changed.
The Demonic Ghost King Clown, who had caused a sensation in the Sea Dragon Star Area back then, had actually appeared in the Ocean Astral Domain.
Its size, as well as the size and aura of the black fog, became much larger.
Zi Yan was very clear that this was the Dark Mask, a Profound-grade treasure that her husband had once possessed.
As for the Demonic Ghost King Clown, it was Ding Jiuming, who had sold his soul to the devil.
“Tsk, tsk…”
His hoarse laughter made people shudder in fear.
“Who are you?” The Fifth Heavenly King’s voice was clear and bright, not showing any fear.
“You can call me Lord Demonic Ghost King.”
“Hah.” The Fifth Heavenly King sneered. “You don’t deserve that title.”
“You are very confident,” the clown said in a hoarse voice. “I am going to devour you.”
Clatter!
In the black mist, thousands of spaceships slowly revealed their full appearances.
These spaceships that the Demonic Ghost King Clown had controlled and used as bases were still useful.
With stunning brilliance, endless firepower was pressing down on the Fifth Heavenly King’s fleet.
At the same time, countless Yin Spirits that had been refined also launched attacks.
Many people were under attack.
A powerful demonic sound instantly gave tens of thousands of people headaches.
“Kill him!”
The Fifth Heavenly King’s face was gloomy. He sent someone to fight against the clown while he went straight to Zi Yan.
He was willing to pay any price to obtain that young Roc.
At first, he didn’t take the Demonic Ghost King Clown seriously. He sensed that this thing’s strength wasn’t too high.
Unexpectedly, none of his subordinates were able to defeat the clown.
“My Lord, save us!”
“Please help me, milord.”
Many of his men and spaceships were pulled back by the black mist.
The Fifth Heavenly King’s face darkened when he saw this.
“God damn it!”
He faced the clown and charged straight over. At the same time, he ordered, “Continue to besiege the Purple Moon Empire.”
“Coo!”
Right at this moment, Tiny Tot appeared again. With a shocking roar, it swallowed up the blockade, leaving a huge gap in it.
Zi Yan’s fleet once again fled into the secondary space.
“Go after them!”
The Fifth Heavenly King was about to go mad with anger. He had waited so long for the chance to get a Roc to come.
If Zi Yan’s fleet escaped in the secondary space like this, he didn’t know when he would get to attack them again.
“Go to hell!”
With hatred in his heart, he struck out and destroyed 30% of the power of the clown’s shadow with two moves.
It was quite powerful for a Peak-Stage Mastery Realm master.
“Tsk, tsk…”
The Demonic Ghost King Clown laughed in a low voice, and the black mist slowly dissipated.
He drifted away, but he had also lost a lot of energy.
“Go get them!”
The Fifth Heavenly King was so angry that his face turned pale. After saying that, he put away his mecha and returned to the king vessel.
A new round of pursuit began. This time, however, the Fifth Heavenly King knew that it seemed to be a war of attrition.
The one with more crystal stones and more powerful spaceships would be the winner.
It was just a tug-of-war. He didn’t care if the hunting would take a year or so.
The process was not important, and he only needed a satisfactory result.
