Chapter 58: Breaking Through the Encirclement!
6 min read1,440 words
The technology of the Lansha people is somewhat similar to that of Earth in the 21st century. If compared with the current human technology, it would be completely outclassed. However, for Qin Peng and his few companions, this technology is still sufficient to threaten their lives. Qin Peng pulled Su Shiyue and quickly descended, while the light brain in his head rapidly analyzed the weakest point in the encirclement. Fortunately, both of their physical conditions were quite robust, and they quickly found several footholds on the floor, allowing them to land lightly.
Splash!
Suddenly, a group of about twenty Lansha people appeared before them. These Lansha people looked very similar to humans, but their bodies were much more slender, appearing malnourished. Moreover, they had no ears, but instead had a pair of antennae on their heads, which could receive sound signals.
Upon clearly seeing Qin Peng and Su Shiyue, they immediately and without hesitation pulled the triggers of their guns.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Numerous bullets were fiercely unleashed. Even with their powerful physical attributes, Qin Peng and Su Shiyue did not dare to use their bodies to block the bullets. Qin Peng's body darted forward, and the bullets that had just been aimed at him flew past, causing sparks to fly from the ground.
Damn!
Qin Peng's feet moved in a swift dragon step, and his speed reached its peak. The light sword in his hand shot out, ready to completely slaughter this group of Lansha people. However, before Qin Peng could make any additional moves, a flash of light suddenly appeared beside him.
Boom!
Instantly, a strong beam of light enveloped these Lansha people, and a huge electric net appeared, swallowing their bodies. In less than half a breath, their bodies were completely charred.
Qin Peng's pupils slightly contracted, and he instinctively looked at Su Shiyue. He saw that Su Shiyue was holding two electromagnetic guns. When she noticed Qin Peng looking at her, she smiled at him.
Qin Peng suddenly felt very frustrated. He had been too confident, coming to fight without any preparation, and had come here unarmed.
Swish!
Su Shiyue tossed an electromagnetic gun to Qin Peng and smiled, saying, "Use it sparingly; the energy of the electromagnetic gun is not much!"
"I understand!"
Qin Peng smiled at Su Shiyue. He knew that at this moment, by giving him an electromagnetic gun, she was essentially entrusting half of her life to him.
Splash!
A series of dense footsteps approached, and Qin Peng and Su Shiyue simultaneously darted in one direction. Their speed was extremely fast, and the physical condition of the Lansha people was indeed poor. They relied more on technology, and their bodies were even weaker than those of 21st-century humans. After running for several hundred meters, the Lansha army finally reached the position where Qin Peng and Su Shiyue had been, but by then, the two had already disappeared without a trace.
However, the number of Lansha people was too large. Just as Qin Peng and Su Shiyue had avoided one wave, the next wave of Lansha people had already found them.
Bullets, missiles, and various weapons were mercilessly unleashed at the two of them. This battle was even more dangerous than the one in the Gril Mountains on Terra. A slight mistake could cost them their lives.
Boom!
Just as Qin Peng and Su Shiyue had hidden in a building, a loud explosion occurred. A missile had struck, completely destroying the room. The terrifying shockwave forced Qin Peng and Su Shiyue to quickly dart out, and they saw a tank in front of them.
Damn!
Seeing the tank's cannon aimed at them, Qin Peng cursed, his body darted forward, and his light sword swung wildly. Instantly, the entire tank was cut in half.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Qin Peng quickly dispatched the surrounding Lansha people with several sword strikes, but more and more Lansha people appeared. Tanks, missiles, and even planes were not far off, and their encirclement was getting tighter.
We can't just sit here and wait to die!
Qin Peng roared in his heart, his right hand gripping the light sword and his left hand holding the electromagnetic gun, he fiercely pulled the trigger. The powerful electromagnetic force immediately cleared a large area, but more Lansha people appeared in front of Qin Peng.
Bang!
Suddenly, Su Shiyue let out a painful cry; a bullet had hit her shoulder. Although her clothes had some rebounding effect, the bullet still caused her intense pain.
Pant!
Qin Peng pulled Su Shiyue and quickly hid in a building. Both of them were breathing heavily, not because their bodies were tired, but because their spirits were exhausted, having consumed too much energy.
At this moment, Qin Peng knew that it would be very difficult to break through. The Lansha people's hearing was extremely sharp. Although they lacked strong bodies, the antennae on their foreheads could receive all sound signals. As long as they paid attention, they could capture even the slightest sound.
Hiding was impossible unless Qin Peng could somehow stop his heart from beating. Otherwise, the Lansha people would definitely find them.
Su Shiyue looked at Qin Peng and then at the electromagnetic gun in her hand, a bitter smile appearing on her face. "The energy is gone!"
Qin Peng bit his teeth slightly, and a few light points appeared in his mind. They were already very close to the outer perimeter. If they could break through this final encirclement, they still had a chance.
"Listen, humans inside!" At that moment, a sharp voice echoed in their ears.
Qin Peng and Su Shiyue exchanged a glance, and the sharp voice continued, "Now, immediately drop your weapons and come out to surrender, and I will spare your lives!"
"Damn, they want to capture us alive and humiliate us later?" Qin Peng didn't take their words seriously. This was just a lie. The hatred between the Lansha people and humans was deep enough to warrant genocide. The idea of sparing their lives was ridiculous!
Su Shiyue, however, smiled bitterly and said, "In this situation, we can't break through!"
Qin Peng took a deep breath and smiled at Su Shiyue. "Not necessarily!"
Su Shiyue was stunned, and Qin Peng smiled, looking at her and saying, "Keep it a secret!"
As he spoke, Qin Peng's hand quickly moved at his waist, and with a swish, a long sword covered in intricate patterns appeared in his hand. The sword, responding to Qin Peng's will, instantly expanded into a massive broadsword.
This is... a rune weapon!
Su Shiyue was deeply shocked. Moreover, this sword looked very familiar. She suddenly remembered that this was the broadsword that Tigris had used.
Why is this sword in Qin Peng's hands?
Many people had been searching for this sword, but its owner had disappeared.
Numerous thoughts raced through Su Shiyue's mind, but she couldn't recall how Qin Peng had defeated Tigris. Her memory was a blank at that point.
I can't remember anything!
Why did I faint then? What happened? Why do I have no memory of it?
Su Shiyue's face turned pale, and Qin Peng, noticing her state, pinched her. "What are you thinking about?"
Su Shiyue was startled and quickly regained her composure, shaking her head at Qin Peng. "Sorry, I was too absorbed in my thoughts!"
"You're too absorbed in your thoughts at a time like this?" Qin Peng couldn't help but laugh.
"Listen, humans inside..."
The Lansha people outside were still shouting. Qin Peng's mind moved, and the Lansha person making the announcement was suddenly silenced. A dark broadsword pierced his neck, severing his head.
Qin Peng and Su Shiyue rushed out.
The broadsword, responding to Qin Peng's will, flew rapidly. With a few swift strikes, it cut through the Lansha people like a scythe through wheat.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Boom!
A missile suddenly shot toward Qin Peng and Su Shiyue. Qin Peng's mind moved, and the broadsword darted in front of him, its massive blade acting as a shield.
The missile exploded, but the sword remained unscathed.
Qin Peng waved his hand, and the broadsword cut the tank in half.
"Let's go!"
Qin Peng pulled Su Shiyue, and the two quickly dashed toward the forest outside the city. The broadsword cleared the way, and the current technology of the Lansha people was no match. With a slight movement of Qin Peng's will, the broadsword could instantly cut through anything. Sword light flashed, and Lansha people were cut down one by one.
They were completely unable to resist!
