Chapter 13093 Leave Your Boat Behind and Get Out
Especially the artillery system, after his careful strengthening, every bombardment seemed to contain the power of heaven and earth, and its power was strong enough to rival the earth-shaking blow of the peak powerhouse in Tianhe Realm.
When Ling Xiao decided to use this ultimate weapon, a look of determination and coldness flashed in his eyes. It was a determination that showed no mercy to the enemy, and it was also a reflection of his absolute confidence in his own strength.
Following his order, the gun barrels on the airship seemed to come alive. They slowly rotated and finally locked onto the airship where the middle-aged man was. At that moment, the air seemed to solidify and even time stopped.
The cost of this shot was huge. Nearly 100 million high-quality spirit stones disappeared in an instant, but for Ling Xiao, this was only a small part of his huge wealth.
He possesses nearly 1 billion high-quality spirit stones, and he is fully capable of launching such attacks nearly ten times. His strong financial resources and strength will force any enemy who dares to provoke him to think twice before acting.
The middle-aged man looked at the horrific artillery fire that was about to fall, his face as pale as paper, fear and despair intertwined in his heart.
He knew very well that his fate and that of his men was sealed, and no matter how they struggled, they could not escape this devastating blow.
The airship's locking system was accurate and precise. They were like lambs to be slaughtered, firmly bound under the shadow of death.
If this bombardment were to hit them, they would definitely be reduced to ashes.
"You...you dare to touch us! We are..." The middle-aged man's voice trembled, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing the extreme fear and unwillingness in his heart.
His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, as if he wanted to see Ling Xiao's cold and ruthless heart through the thin air.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao curled up a faint smile, a smile that contained both contempt for the middle-aged man's fear and absolute confidence in his own strength.
He leaned slightly to the side, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could see into people's hearts, which made the middle-aged man even more frightened.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not the kind of person who likes fighting and killing." Ling Xiao's words were calm and powerful. Every word was clearly heard by everyone present, but his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty.
"Your airship belongs to me, and all the storage rings on you belong to me too. Get out of here now, or else, you will know what will happen to you after this cannon fires."
Although his tone was light, the threat was self-evident. The middle-aged man and his men looked at each other, and they could see the same despair and helplessness in each other's eyes.
They knew that any resistance would be futile in the face of such a powerful enemy.
"Here you go!" The middle-aged man finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and threw the storage ring in his hand fiercely to Ling Xiao, as if he was abandoning his last dignity and hope.
The storage ring drew a graceful arc in the air and finally landed steadily in Ling Xiao's hands.
Seeing this, the other dozen or so warriors followed suit and handed over their storage rings, with reluctance and humiliation written all over their faces.
Ling Xiao gently played with the storage ring in his hand, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He didn't say anything more, but just waved his hand gently, indicating that they could leave.
The middle-aged man and his men turned around and ran towards the exit of the airship as if they had been pardoned. Every step they took seemed so hurried and awkward.
Ling Xiao closed the boat and said calmly, "There are many people in this world who want treasures. No matter who sent you, I'm giving you a warning. I'll spare your lives this time, but next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Although Ling Xiao's voice was faint, it was as cold as ice. Every word fell clearly into the hearts of the middle-aged man and his men, making them shiver involuntarily.
His eyes were deep and cold, as if he could see through everything, and yet seemed indifferent to everything in the world. After accepting the priceless airship, he gently waved his sleeves, turned around and stepped into his own airship, his movements were smooth and flowing, showing the demeanor of a master.
Following Ling Xiao's instructions, his airship slowly rose up, broke through the air, and left behind a series of gorgeous trails that gradually dissipated in the blue sky.
The middle-aged man and his men looked at the receding figure with mixed feelings in their hearts, including frustration at the failure and deep fear of Ling Xiao's strength.
Watching Ling Xiao leave, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner turmoil. He slowly took out a delicate jade token from his arms. The jade token was warm and radiated a faint fluorescence, which was obviously not an ordinary object.
He held the jade token tightly in both hands, closed his eyes and concentrated, and after a moment, a strong internal force surged out of his body and poured into the jade token. The jade token instantly glowed brightly, as if it had established a connection with a being in the distance.
"Elder, we failed..." The middle-aged man's voice was low and heavy, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart, full of helplessness and self-blame.
He paused, as if organizing his words, and continued, "That Ling Xiao actually stole the Imperial Palace's 'No. 1' airship. You know how powerful that airship is. We wanted to take it back, but...but the other party was too powerful, so we had no choice..."
After a long while, an old voice came from the jade token: "This is not your fault. I heard that he went to the Imperial Palace. I only knew that he escaped unscathed, but I didn't expect that he even got the Imperial Palace's No. 1 airship."
The voice from the jade token carried the calmness and vicissitudes of time. Every word seemed to have crossed the barriers of time and space and reached the ears of the middle-aged man clearly.
The voice revealed an indescribable complex emotion, including relief for the middle-aged man's failure, as well as surprise and shock at Ling Xiao's amazing behavior.
The middle-aged man could feel that behind the old voice, there was a wise man's profound insight and understanding of the world.
"It seems that this person must have some powerful support, so the Imperial Palace dare not touch him at all. They even had to give him the First Airship."
The old man's tone was a little more solemn, and his words were like morning bells and evening drums, knocking on the middle-aged man's heart.
The middle-aged man could imagine that the old man might be frowning at this moment, staring deeply in a certain direction, with all kinds of speculations and inferences surging in his mind.
"I asked you to come here this time just to test him. Now it seems that this person is not as simple as he seems."
The old man's voice sounded again, this time with a hint of emotion and deep thought. He seemed to be reflecting on whether the arrangement of this mission was too hasty, or whether he underestimated Ling Xiao's strength and means.
The middle-aged man could sense that the old man's words revealed a hint of worry, but at the same time they also contained expectations and plans for the future. (End of this chapter)
