Chapter 282: Target Locked, Launch!
These powerful individuals and forces could no longer deny Shen Xing’s potential, nor the powerful force behind him. But knowing that the other party had a cannon was completely different from knowing that the cannon was aimed at them.
Right now, this cannon was aimed at Sand Court.
If he could get what he wanted from Sand Court, it meant he could also get what he wanted from them!
Time passed by little by little.
It was clear that Sand Court was also extremely nervous. Even the few Sun and Moon realm experts were no longer simply silent as they had been before. They even took action several times to strengthen Sand Court’s original defensive formation.
That’s right, Sand Court did have a defensive formation. After all, this force was once a sacred ground. Unlike the Mysterious Dragon Palace, which was invaded and defeated, Sand Court had naturally declined and was able to control the entire defensive formation.
Theoretically speaking, even if a Sage came in person, it would not be so easy to break through their defenses!
This was Sand Court’s greatest source of confidence!
When the great formation that had been passed down for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, was activated, the representatives of countless forces who were watching around could only sigh in amazement. They could feel the incomparably powerful Yuan Power, which even far exceeded that of the Sun and Moon realm.
“As expected of a former sacred ground!”
“With this kind of power, without a Sage, they are completely invincible!”
“Even if they have fallen to this point, their foundation is beyond the imagination of ordinary forces.”
“I wonder what methods that Young Master Shen has.”
“Hard to say. There is undoubtedly a true Sage behind him.”
“Giving them thirty days is really too arrogant.”
“Maybe he will just run away in the end.”
“…”
Discussions continued to gather near Sand Court. More and more people came here, and there were many Mountain and Sea realm experts. There were even seven or eight Sun and Moon realm experts from various places. At this time, these Sun and Moon realm experts stood quietly in the clouds, looking at the great formation below, but they did not speak or discuss.
The fact that they came here in person actually revealed a lot of their thoughts.
At the very least, they had seen the great formation below many times in this once glorious area. But the various methods of the young prodigy, who was suspected to be a member of the Dragon Race, were beyond their cognition, even unheard of.
They came here precisely to see what kind of methods were behind that young prodigy.
Was it really the Dragon Race?
“Time is almost up.”
No one knew whose murmur floated in the sky. Time flew by, and it was the deadline given by Shen Xing.
Everyone gathered outside Sand Court, including many Sun and Moon realm experts, were all waiting quietly.
Powerful divine senses had already spread throughout the entire land.
The Yuan Qi in the air was stagnant.
Many people in the mountains and fields who had no idea what was happening also felt an extremely oppressive aura. When they looked up, they seemed to be able to faintly see gods and Buddhas all over the sky.
Countless people knelt down in fear and worshipped the gods.
However, as the center of everything, Shen Xing had completely given up the idea of coming in person.
Because the development of the situation had exceeded his expectations.
Not to mention the hundreds of Mountain and Sea realm experts, even the seven or eight Sun and Moon realm experts standing high in the clouds made him a little scared.
Even if he wore armor, he couldn’t deal with a single Sun and Moon realm expert, let alone so many people?
If any one of them could prevent him from teleporting in time, he would be done for.
“My strength is still not enough. I can’t be reckless.” Shen Xing constantly warned himself in his heart.
In fact, if the resources he needed weren’t so high-level, he wouldn’t want to provoke these experts who far surpassed his own strength. Bullying some Mountain and Sea realm experts would be enough.
However, since things had come to this point, there was nothing more to say.
As dusk gradually fell and the earth and the sky gradually darkened, many experts near Sand Court were already getting a little impatient.
“Could he have run away?”
“He shouldn’t have.”
“Ridiculous. So many Mountain and Sea, even Sun and Moon realm experts, were fooled by a little brat.”
“Wait a little longer.”
“This great formation is indeed not easy to break through.”
“Maybe he had some methods, but he gave up.”
“…”
Whispers sounded in the desert under the night sky. Although many people came here specifically, which already showed their level of attention to Shen Xing, it had to be said that most of them did not want Shen Xing to really have the power to threaten Sun and Moon realm experts.
Or rather, the power to threaten Sun and Moon realm experts under the protection of this great formation.
They had lived in this land for too long. If a true sacred ground took a fancy to this “barren” region, they would submit. But not many people were willing to submit to a Spirit realm expert, even if he was a Spirit realm expert who was “destined to become a Sage.”
This would make them deeply feel their own insignificance.
Even the Mountain and Sea realm experts, and even the Sun and Moon realm experts, felt the same way.
The Sun and Moon realm experts who had been silent in the sky also began to break the silence, and then more and more voices appeared.
“Maybe he gave up.”
“What a pity.”
“Shang Yi, you guys bet wrong.”
“Shang Yi, do you have any news?”
“…”
Following the few short words floating in the sky, gazes converged on a Sun and Moon realm expert named Shang Yi.
โโโ
He looked like he was only in his thirties, and the aura on his body was not very strong, confirming his identity.
He was the newly promoted Sun and Moon realm expert of the Great Shang Dynasty.
But facing the gazes of many experts of the same realm, Shang Yi could only remain silent.
He actually didn’t really support his ancestor’s decision. Even though that person had unlimited potential, he was still just a Spirit realm expert. It would take at least a thousand years for him to reach the Sage realm. Why bother to be so proactive in getting close to him now?
However, since the decision had already been made, he still hoped that that person could show his power.
Even if he just summoned a Sun and Moon realm true dragon.
But now it seemed. Did they really bet wrong?
Just as Shang Yi began to think about the consequences of betting wrong, a communication suddenly came from his jade token.
He swept it with his divine sense, and he couldn’t help but feel a ripple of emotion.
This change naturally did not escape the notice of others. But soon, some people also received news.
“It’s from Tianyuan Sect.”
“The spaceship has taken off.”
“Is he coming?”
“No, that person has the ability to cross space and come and go instantly.”
“…”
These Sun and Moon realm experts were a little puzzled.
But at this moment, Shen Xing did indeed make his move.
The spaceship loaded with three super-temporal missiles emerged from the shuttle space and quietly hovered over Tianyuan Sect. It did not enter optical camouflage, and it was even emitting abundant energy, instantly attracting everyone’s attention.
Information spread rapidly.
But there was not much excitement. After all, this spaceship was already known.
Even though they knew that it could bring strong spatial fluctuations, that level of spatial fluctuations was still far from enough to destroy the great formation left by a Sage.
In contrast, the guess that “he was going to escape” appeared in many people’s minds.
However, Shen Xing did not give them much chance to speculate.
“Target locked, launch!” he ordered decisively.
The next moment, a scorching line of fire streaked across the sky. Its terrifying speed made its tail flame look like a laser beam, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
And this was the main reason why Shen Xing chose to attack at this time.
Everyone could clearly see a beam of light shooting out from the spaceship and streaking across the sky.
It was just that they didn’t know what it was.
But some people had already reacted.
“That’s the direction of Sand Court!”
“It is!”
“Could it be some kind of attack?”
“Are you stupid? Launching an attack from here?”
“This is at least two hundred thousand kilometers away!”
“…”
People who didn’t know what it was could only quickly spread the news.
But the news spread too slowly!
That’s right, too slowly.
Super-light-speed missiles could convert highly compressed matter into photons for propulsion. Although their speed did not directly reach the speed of light at the beginning, the entire acceleration process only took less than ten seconds under the condition of completely disregarding damage!
And how fast is the speed of light?
Three hundred thousand kilometers per second!
Even if the acceleration time was included, it only took less than two seconds to cross the distance of two hundred thousand kilometers!
At the moment of launch, the Sun and Moon realm experts in Sand Court did not even receive any news. They just suddenly saw a scene they would never forget!
A scorching beam of light appeared in the sky, and then before any of them could react, a large hole was broken in the barrier that could withstand the level of a Sage.
Then, after a few seconds of daze, horrified expressions began to appear on the faces of these Sun and Moon realm experts.
“He’s gone!”
One of them couldn’t even control his aura.
“What happened? A Sun and Moon realm expert is gone!”
“…”
That’s right, the others had also reacted.
The seemingly undamaged and slowly recovering barrier of the great formation was nothing. The Yuan Qi storm that was brewing within Sand Court was the real reason for their horrified expressions!
That was the scene of a Sun and Moon realm expert falling, with their divine soul destroyed and their Yuan Power dissipated!
A Sun and Moon realm expert was gone!
But what exactly happened? They didn’t see anything, only a beam of light. Other than that, there was no fighting, no cracked earth, and no Yuan Power reaction! Even the great formation was not destroyed. The hole that appeared before was instantly filled, as if it were their illusion.
However, the result in front of them was the fall of a Sun and Moon realm expert!
They had imagined various possibilities, even the possibility of a Sage taking action. But they never imagined the scene in front of them, which completely exceeded their cognition and even made their hair stand on end!
