Gradually, everyone unknowingly gathered around Li Ze. At this time, there were Void Beasts and monsters all around, and the fifty-meter radius around Li Ze became the safest place.
Chen Qian could finally breathe a sigh of relief and sent a communication request to Gao Feng.
"Come and rescue them first, then bombard them with artillery fire," Chen Qian said.
"You don't want the Vermilion Bird Star anymore?" Gao Feng asked in surprise.
“There are too many Void Beasts, we can’t kill them all. There’s no other way but this,” Chen Qian said solemnly.
"Should we ask His Majesty's opinion again?" Gao Feng still dared not make a decision.
"His Majesty is probably too busy to respond." Chen Qian looked into the distance, where the booming sounds continued, and the battle was far more intense than here.
His Majesty's current condition is indeed not optimistic. Inside the black mecha, His Majesty's clothes are disheveled, his face is pale, and his clothes are stained with blood. He is only holding on by his last breath.
“Zhao Mingqi, if your father knew he had a son, he would definitely want you to live well, not to fight against me and seek your own death,” the young emperor said sincerely.
Zhao Mingqi could have simply done nothing and waited to succeed to the throne. After all, in their generation, Zhao Mingqi was the only 3S-level individual, and no one could compete with him.
But Zhao Mingqi chose this path, a dead end!
"Don't mention my father," Zhao Mingqi said angrily. "If it weren't for you, how could my father have died without knowing he had a son? How could our family of three have been separated for so many years?"
The young emperor sighed, "Your mother should bring you to me."
After all, he was his own younger brother; he might have released him earlier so the family of three could be reunited. But now it was too late to say anything. Zhao Mingqi had killed so many people; he had to die.
The young emperor looked at He Xingjue, who was breaking out of the monster horde, and swallowed the metallic taste that had risen to his throat.
"What good would it do to tell you? Zhao Sheng, you're just a Monday morning quarterback." Zhao Mingqi sneered as he walked towards Zhao Sheng, carrying his knife.
The broadsword was raised high and then brought down heavily.
The sound of metal colliding is so piercing that it almost bursts one's eardrums.
The black mecha was kneeling on one leg, its shoulder split open, revealing its inner workings.
With a constant hissing sound, a top-tier mech finally succumbed to the strain and was scrapped.
The person inside the mecha was bleeding from all seven orifices and was on the verge of death.
A cruel yet gleeful smile played on Zhao Mingqi's lips as he raised his broadsword high once more—
"Save His Majesty!"
People in the public chat channel shouted loudly.
However, they were either too far away and entangled with the enemy, or they were seriously injured and unable to move. They couldn't even protect themselves, let alone save others.
clang!
The swords clashed, sparks flying everywhere.
"He Xingjue!" Zhao Mingqi gritted his teeth. "You've come at the perfect time. It's time to settle our scores."
"Ha!" He Xingjue sneered, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Xingjue exerted his strength, and Zhao Mingqi was thrown back, stumbling two steps backward. Before he could regain his footing, He Xingjue was already in front of him.
With a snap, Zhao Mingqi's mecha's right arm broke off.
Zhao Mingqi's pupils dilated suddenly, his eyes filled with horror. A sense of crisis washed over him. Ignoring the pain, he steered his mecha to the side—
In this life-or-death moment, he unleashed his fastest speed, confident that he could dodge He Xingjue's attack.
He was fast, but He Xingjue was even faster. He changed direction midway with his broadsword and swept it across Zhao Mingqi's mecha's head with overwhelming force.
It was another ear-piercing metallic clang and cutting sound. The top-tier mech, which had remained unscathed even inside the Void Beast's mouth, was now as brittle as a tile. It seemed that with just a light touch, its beautiful head would snap off.
ah--
Zhao Mingqi covered his ears and let out a painful wail.
However, this was not the end. Next, He Xingjue severed his other hand and both feet, causing him immense pain, but his body remained intact.
Only at the very end did He Xingjue raise his broadsword and pierce through the fuselage.
Zhao Mingqi is dead.
The young emperor was rescued by his guards and witnessed the final scene. He seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, an overwhelming weariness washing over him, and the next second, he peacefully fell into a deep sleep.
The last group of people on the ground took to the air, and the live stream that had been shut down was restarted. The moment the screen turned on, what came into everyone's view was an endless array of void beasts, densely packed, as if they had already occupied every corner of the planet.
"Oh my god, we've stirred up the Void Beasts' lair!"
"This is absolutely the most severe beast tide since the beginning of time."
"These past two years have really been turbulent and chaotic."
"How do we fight this war? Will it destroy the entire planet?"
"You've forgotten, Void Beasts can also take to the air. They can fly freely through the starry sea, destroying planets and then leaving. It's better to surround them on Vermilion Bird Star and kill them slowly."
........
Li Ze and He Xingjue piloted their mechs into the Snow Wolf's warship.
“Xuan Ying and Xue Lang are badly damaged. Let’s send them to the repair shop first,” He Xingjue said.
Li Ze had no objection and followed He Xingjue toward the maintenance room.
After taking the mech into the maintenance room, they headed towards the command center. Just then, Li Ze yawned.
"Tired?" He Xingjue asked.
Li Ze hummed in agreement, "A little."
“Then go get some sleep first. I don’t know if my room is still available, but it’s okay if it isn’t. I’ll have them make room for me,” He Xingjue said. Seeing Li Ze hesitate, he continued to persuade him, “Don’t be afraid. With such a large exit, the Void Beast Tide won’t end so quickly.”
