The attack is not over yet.
The eight energy cannons on the steel-cast rear wings roared continuously, and the energy projectiles, trailing fiery blue flames, were like a raging meteor shower, drawing tricky arcs as they circled around to the side and rear to bombard Li Yu!
The most powerful energy fluctuations come from the energy cannons in its legs when they are fully charged.
A thick white beam of light shot out from it, accompanied by a piercing plasma shriek. It plowed through the ground, leaving two molten trenches that intersected and blocked all of Li Yu's routes!
Rumble—!!!
Explosions! A series of deafening explosions!
Intense energy beams, dense clusters of micro-missiles, and high-energy plasma cannons blocking the way all hit their targets in succession.
The scene was so grand that it was comparable to a volley of fire from a small army!
It's a mechanical barrage of firepower that disregards cost and pursues ultimate destruction!
The towering flames instantly engulfed Li Yu's figure. Thick black smoke and scorching energy mixed and rose, creating a small, rolling mushroom cloud in the area where Li Yu was, turning that area into a complete hell!
The moment the explosion occurred, Xiao Zhan realized that such a terrifying indiscriminate bombing must have a very large impact range, and the shrapnel and shock waves it generated would be enough to completely tear the refugees behind him apart.
Xiao Zhan slammed his ice spear into the ground, and a thick, arc-shaped ice wall instantly rose up, blocking the refugees' path.
Sure enough, countless tiny, sharp metal shrapnel flew everywhere with the explosion, constantly hitting the solidified ice wall, making a series of loud banging sounds, and ice shards flew everywhere.
If Xiao Zhan hadn't protected these refugees, the aftershocks of the battle alone would have likely killed or wounded most of them.
The area at the very core of the intense attack has now been transformed into a massive crater over ten meters in diameter, billowing with high-temperature steam!
The energy beam melted everything in the crater.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhan thought to himself:
'If the northern defenses could be equipped with such metal warfare weapons, countless casualties among the Central Plains soldiers could be reduced. If the Central Plains could mass-produce them, the entire border defense landscape would be completely rewritten!'
In that case, there might not be any need to send Central Continent soldiers to guard the border. Instead, these absolutely obedient and heavily armed mechanical units could cover the entire line, raising the defensive efficiency and security of the line to an unprecedented new level.
The first wave of ferocious attacks from the steel-cast cannon in the distance finally subsided, with wisps of smoke rising from the barrels and firing ports as they underwent a brief cooling process.
Its single red eye continuously scanned the dead zone shrouded in smoke and high-temperature steam, assessing the damage.
"It worked?"
Han Qing stared intently at that area, a twisted sense of relief just beginning to rise in his heart.
But the next moment, his pupils contracted sharply again, as if he had seen the most incredible sight in the world!
A familiar figure slowly became clear in the gradually thinning smoke and steam.
The cold rain poured down.
The heatwave and steam from the explosion dissipated quickly in the rain. At the epicenter of this destructive storm, Li Yu did not turn to ashes as Han Qing had imagined, nor was he even in a sorry state.
Li Yu remained standing in the same spot, without even moving her feet an inch!
"What strong defense!" Bai Ya exclaimed in amazement. If he were in Li Yu's position, he would definitely not be able to withstand such fierce artillery fire, but Li Yu looked extremely relaxed.
Xiao Zhan was not surprised at all. After spending some time together, he had absolute trust in Li Yu's abilities.
"How is this possible?!" Han Qing exclaimed in disbelief.
Even an Awakened who specializes in defense would never dare to stand still and withstand such firepower!
Even for high-level awakened beings, the optimal solution is always to dodge or intercept with their abilities! They can't just stand there and take hits and waste their energy.
Even if he were the one being attacked, he would only rely on his spatial abilities to teleport and dodge, and it would be impossible for him to take the attack head-on like Li Yu did!
He actually caught it?!
They were completely unharmed!
However, Li Yu's outer clothes were completely blown to shreds, revealing a seemingly ordinary 'bulletproof vest' underneath.
Han Qing's gaze was fixed on Li Yu, his eyes filled with disbelief. He thought that even if Li Yu wore a special steel plate, let alone an inconspicuous bulletproof vest, he would be blown to smithereens by a steel attack.
Just now, the moment Li Yu was bombarded by missiles and beams, the properties of his bulletproof vest were instantly activated.
[Bulletproof Vest LV10]
[Defense +100, Damage Reduction 70%]
[Ability: Damage reflection, heavy attack protection]
When subjected to a heavy attack exceeding one's defenses, the chance of recoil damage is temporarily increased before damage is inflicted, and damage reduction is temporarily increased.
Damage reduction is now active!
The violent impact and high temperature were greatly weakened and dispersed by an invisible force when they touched Li Yu's body.
Heavy attack protection triggered!
The energy beams and chain explosions that were enough to instantly vaporize an armored vehicle were all forcefully resisted and deflected.
Li Yu activated the energy of the cyclone covering his entire body, but before it could even take effect, all its power was already absorbed by the bulletproof vest.
Li Yu himself was slightly stunned. His physical enhancement level far exceeded that of other awakened individuals, and he had originally wanted to take this opportunity to test his ability to defend against firearms...
Nevertheless, the saturation bombardment of those weapons was so incredibly powerful that the smoke and dust kicked up by the pure physical explosions still left some gray and black residue on Li Yu's face.
The moment the firepower attack ended, the [Reflect Damage] trait was triggered.
