Yu Kai, swift as the wind, arrived at the cockpit and urged Huang Tianrui, "Hurry and start the warship! Follow the metal river!" Huang Tianrui didn't hesitate and immediately launched the warship. Like a raging beast, the warship violently rammed the intercepting warships, causing the ship to tremble violently. Huang Tianrui, with his superb piloting skills, nimbly controlled the warship, dodging wave after wave of attacks and darting along the rushing metal river.
Yu Kai stood at the stern, his gaze stern as the Celestial warships charged towards them like a pack of wolves. His hands danced rapidly, spiritual energy flowing through his fingers like silk threads. Vast clouds of metal, drawn by his powerful force of laws, rapidly approached the sky above the Celestial warships. The clouds collided violently, and terrifying thunderstorms descended upon the Celestial warships.
Golden lightning struck like a dragon, carrying devastating force, instantly overturning warship after warship. With resounding bangs, the warships crashed to the ground like falling stars. The immense force of the impact shook the earth, emitting a deafening roar, and billowing clouds of dust rose into the sky, obscuring the sky and the sun.
The huge noise here instantly attracted the male dragon that was returning. Its heart suddenly tightened and it cried out inwardly: "Oh no, something must have happened!" It immediately increased its speed and approached the explosion site as fast as lightning.
Soon, it spotted Yu Kai and his crew's warship hurtling down the surging metal river, and without hesitation, it charged forward. It opened its bloody maw, spewing streams of blazing dragon flames that slammed down on Yu Kai and his crew's warship like a falling meteorite.
Huang Tianrui was completely absorbed in maneuvering the warship, sweat beading on his forehead as he executed a series of breathtaking evasive maneuvers. However, the dragon flames were too dense, and he was still struck by one. With a resounding "boom," a massive hole was blasted through the edge of the warship, sending billowing black smoke billowing out. The entire warship shook violently, and the geniuses, whose spiritual powers had been sealed, could barely stand, stumbling around in the cockpit, looking utterly miserable.
Yu Kai stood firmly at the bow, wielding his sword, slashing away the roaring dragon flames. However, a fierce burst of dragon flames came at him at breakneck speed, and he was struck by it. With a loud bang, his body slammed into the cockpit glass like a cannonball, shattering it. He fell heavily onto the control console, blood gushing from his mouth.
At that moment, a massive dragon claw shot out with a sharp whistling sound, slashing towards Yu Kai in the cockpit. In that critical moment, Yin Ziling shuddered and, without hesitation, threw herself on Yu Kai, desperately shouting at the dragon, "No one is to harm him!" Her voice, piercing and resolute, echoed throughout the cockpit. The claw, about to reach, instantly retracted. The dragon looked at Yin Ziling and roared angrily, a deafening roar.
The geniuses in the cockpit all stared at Yin Ziling with wide eyes, unable to react for a long time, and the entire cockpit fell into a brief silence.
Yu Kai took the opportunity to shout, "If you don't go back, you won't be able to see the mother dragon for the last time!"
"What?" The dragon was horrified, its eyes filled with disbelief and panic. Without pausing for a moment, it quickly flew backwards, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Yu Kai gently lifted up Yin Ziling, who was lying on top of him. Looking at her slightly flushed and delicate face, he said softly, "Thank you!"
"Come back with me? I'll ask my master and my ancestor for help. They will definitely make sure you're safe." Yin Ziling held Yu Kai's arm tightly with both hands, her eyes full of sincerity and eagerness.
Yu Kai looked at Yin Ziling, whose eyes were full of expectation, shook his head, and said firmly: "No, I can't go back with you. I can't take risks with you."
Yin Ziling's eyes dimmed instantly, and she bit her lip: "You don't trust me?"
"No, I want to control my own destiny and don't want to rely on others for everything!" Yu Kai comforted softly.
Yin Ziling said unwillingly, "But the power of Heaven is so strong. Fighting against it alone is like hitting a rock with an egg."
Yu Kai patted her shoulder gently: "Don't worry, I know what to do."
At that moment, the warship suddenly pitched violently, as if it were about to be torn apart. Countless thunderbolts, accompanied by deafening roars and a dense rain of arrows, pounded down on them fiercely like a torrential rain. Yu Kai's eyes glared, and he said to Yin Ziling urgently, "Find a safe place to hide first."
Without hesitation, he turned and rushed towards the bow. Suddenly, several jet-black warships appeared ahead. Thunder rumbled across the sky, like roaring beasts, and a rain of arrows covered the sky.
Yu Kai shouted loudly, and spiritual power surged around his body. Countless metal energies were drawn to him and quickly gathered in front of him, turning into an indestructible metal shield, shining with light, protecting the entire warship tightly.
Thunderbolts collided, sending forth dazzling sparks. Yu Kai gritted his teeth, struggling to withstand the torrent of attacks. At this moment, a larger, black warship emerged from behind like a ghost. A towering figure stood majestically at the bow. He held a massive battle axe, its blade gleaming coldly, emitting a terrifying, chilling pressure. At his slight signal, all the attacks ceased. He shouted at Yu Kai, "Boy, are you the Yu Kai who captured Wen Chengzhi and the others?"
"Who are you?" Yu Kai frowned, his eyes full of vigilance. These black-armored soldiers were the villains who slaughtered metal monsters and mined them wantonly.
"Hahahaha! Listen up, kid!" The burly man laughed loudly, his laughter shaking the air around him. "I am a high-ranking demon general of the Dark Abyss Demon League, the Crazy Axe Iron Bull—Wang Meng!"
Yu Kai shook his head slightly, looked at Wang Meng, and asked, "Why are you stopping us?"
"Hehe, boy, are you willing to hand over those geniuses to me? Anyway, you are wanted by the Heavenly Court. Why not join our Dark Abyss Demon Alliance and live a happy life from now on." Wang Meng said with anticipation in his eyes.
"Let me go. I need to think carefully before I can answer you." Yu Kai said in a deep voice, trying to delay time to find a solution.
"That won't do. You must agree now!" Wang Meng's face darkened, he pointed his battle axe, and threatened in a voice like thunder.
Yu Kai did not retreat either. He resolutely took out his long sword and frantically mobilized all the mysterious spiritual power in his body, pouring it into the long sword continuously. The long sword vibrated hummingly, as if it was eager to fight.
"If you dare to resist, then die!" Wang Meng's eyes were wide open, and he jumped off the warship with a battle axe in his hand. He raised the battle axe high and chopped it towards Yu Kai with a tremendous force. The wind was whistling and his momentum was like a rainbow.
