Chapter 446 - 443: Getting Carried Away
Inside the Bronze Coffin.
Gao Fei was communicating with the elder inside the Bronze Coffin using Mental Power.
"Senior, I'm really impressed with you!" Gao Fei exclaimed, "With just a little strategy, you made the enemies slaughter each other, especially Nangong Qi, it was too tragic to bear." Seeing Nangong Qi's misfortune, Gao Fei felt much more comfortable.
"It's because those people are too stupid," the elder inside the Bronze Coffin said with a laugh.
"What do we do next?" Gao Fei asked.
"Do nothing, just wait and watch the show," replied the elder.
"Good, watch the show."
...
Outside.
Aboard the spaceship.
Nangong Qi, bending over and glaring, was carefully examining the Dragon Corpse.
"Beautiful! Truly beautiful!"
"To think that such a perfect creature exists in the world."
"It's so hard."
Unable to restrain himself, Nangong Qi touched the Dragon Corpse, first feeling "hard," and then "cold." Nangong Qi withdrew his hand and nodded slightly: "Ancient texts have recorded that the body of a real dragon is incomparably hard, that even attacking with a Spiritual Treasure would hardly leave a mark."
With his hands behind his back, Nangong Qi walked around the Dragon Corpse, growing more fond and excited the more he observed it, almost wanting to rush over and hug the Dragon Corpse and kiss it twice.
"I'm so lucky! To obtain such a heaven-defying treasure like the Dragon Corpse!"
"This Bronze Coffin also appears to be no ordinary object."
Nangong Qi turned his gaze to the Bronze Coffin, "Primitive, grand, thick color... I wonder what's inside?" Nangong Qi hesitated for a moment, then reached out to push the coffin lid.
After several attempts, it didn't budge.
Nangong Qi, fearing he might damage the Bronze Coffin, didn't dare use too much force, merely trying a few pushes before withdrawing his hand: "After we return to Piaomiao Palace, we can slowly figure it out."
"Vice Palace Master! It's not good! They've caught up!" A panicked shout came from behind.
"Don't panic!" Nangong Qi waved his hand, "Set up the cannons! Hit them hard!" The spaceship was fitted with hundreds of cannons, all made from Mysterious Iron, and the cannonballs were specially made, their power terrifying.
At Nangong Qi's command, a group of disciples sprang into action.
"Clack clack clack..."
It didn't take long for hundreds of cannons to be set up, the barrels about ten Zhang long, dark and emitting a cold Qi.
"Aim!"
"Fire!"
Nangong Qi waved his hand largely.
"Boom boom boom…"
Hundreds of cannons fired at once, cannonballs shooting up into the sky, turning into dark lines heading towards the dozens of chasing spaceships.
"Dodge quickly!"
"Damn it! They're using cannons!"
"Everybody scatter! Don't get hit by the cannonballs!"
Niu Xiangnan and the others panicked, hastily maneuvering their spaceships to evade, and despite their quick reactions, they still couldn't dodge the barrage of cannonballs.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Most of the cannonballs struck the spaceships, followed by explosions…
More than a dozen ships burst apart, with countless deaths and injuries on board.
"Hahaha!"
Nangong Qi laughed uproariously to the sky, "Thrilling! So damn thrilling!!! Keep firing! Blast these bastards to smithereens!"
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The hundreds of cannons launched another attack.
...
"Retaliate! Retaliate!!!" Niu Xiangnan bellowed, "They have cannons, and so do we, quickly set up cannons to retaliate!"
"Yes! Counterattack! Counterattack fiercely!" Jin Xiong, the Great Elder of the Jin Family, yelled shrilly, "Fire all the cannons! Blast them to smithereens!"
"Don't forget, the Dragon Corpse is on the enemy's spaceship," someone reminded, "If we set up our cannons to counterattack, we might damage the Dragon Corpse."
"The Dragon Corpse is very hard, it shouldn't get damaged..." Niu Xiangnan said hesitantly.
"It's not about the odds, it's the possibility that counts."
"Exactly, if the Dragon Corpse gets destroyed, we'll be too late to even cry."
"So what do we do?"
"Let's think of another way."
"This is so damn frustrating!" Niu Xiangnan swung his fist furiously, "Being beaten down and yet we can't strike back! It's utterly disgraceful!"
To evade the cannon fire, dozens of spaceships slowed down, increasing the distance from the Piaomiao Palace's ship, so that the cannonballs could no longer harm them. Cannon fire has its range limits; once beyond that range, the cannonballs become useless.
"Chase me! Come on, chase me!" Nangong Qi taunted, "Why aren't you chasing anymore? Are you scared by my cannon fire? Hahaha..."
"Nangong Qi! Don't get cocky too soon!" Niu Xiangnan roared, "We have cannons on our ships too! And we have more than you. If we set up our cannons to fire, we'll definitely blast you to pieces!"
"Dare you fire the cannons?" Nangong Qi sneered, "The Dragon Corpse is on my ship, aren't you afraid of destroying it?"
"The Dragon Corpse is very hard, a few mere cannon shots won't destroy it," Niu Xiangnan said with an intense tone.
"Well then, fire away, fire several shots and see if the Dragon Corpse is truly that hard." Nangong Qi, having calculated that Niu Xiangnan and the others wouldn't dare to shoot, spoke without a care in the world.
The two sides hurled insults, the argument becoming intolerable.
...
Inside the Bronze Coffin.
Gao Fei spoke through Mental Power, "Senior, did you hear what Nangong Qi said?"
"I heard him," the old man in the Bronze Coffin responded with Mental Power.
"Hurry and take the Dragon Corpse and leave."
"Why?"
"Once the Dragon Corpse is gone, they will start bombarding Nangong Qi's spaceship."
"You are quite scheming, lad."
"Senior, please help out."
"Alright, I'll get on it," the old man in the Bronze Coffin agreed.
...
Outside.
Nangong Qi, with hands on hips, triumphantly taunted, "Come on, fire your cannons! Fire! Why don't you shoot! You are all cowards, only brave with words, but truly scared at heart, not daring to fire because you are afraid of destroying the Dragon Corpse!" Nangong Qi hadn't felt this relieved in a long time; the frustration he had just experienced was now vented.
"Hummm!!!"
The Bronze Coffin lying nearby suddenly shook and made a tremendous noise.
"Huh?" Nangong Qi turned around in surprise, "What's happening?"
"Hummm!!!"
The Bronze Coffin suddenly leaped up, then drew the Dragon Corpse into the high sky.
"What?" Nangong Qi was dumbfounded, "What's going on? How did the Bronze Coffin and Dragon Corpse leave?"
Afar.
A look of joy surfaced on Niu Xiangnan and the others' faces—a golden opportunity! The Bronze Coffin had pulled the Dragon Corpse away from the Piaomiao Palace's spaceship, and now they could fire without any worries.
This was a chance that comes once in a blue moon!
They absolutely couldn't pass it up!
"Come on! Fire the cannons!!!"
"Fire!"
"Elevate the muzzles, aim at Piaomiao Palace's ship! Fire!!!"
Thousands of cannons erupted simultaneously, huge cannonballs smashing towards Piaomiao Palace's spaceship.
Nangong Qi's face drastically changed, "Quick! Dodge!!!"
"No use! There are too many cannonballs from the enemy, we can't dodge them all!" one of the subordinates screamed in panic, "The ship is done for!"
"Then leave the ship!" Nangong Qi made a split-second decision, leading his subordinates off the ship. In just moments after they flew into the high sky, thousands of cannonballs struck the spaceship, "Boom boom boom..." A burst of flames erupted, and the massive spaceship immediately broke into pieces, plummeting towards the ground.
