Ling Cage: Enhanced Nanosteel Suit at the Start

Bai Yuekui was thrown backward by the enormous impact, and the golden light on his lightsaber dimmed slightly.

The casual strike of the Ghost Wing Beast King was far more powerful than imagined.

Chapter 188 Source Material Potential Explosion

"Hehehe... You are the most powerful insects I have ever seen, but you are not enough!"

The Ghost Wing Beast King laughed wildly, its wings flapping as it moved at incredible speed. Its massive body surged forward at a speed disproportionate to its size, and its enormous claws, glowing with energy, tore through the air as it swiftly grabbed at Bai Yuekui, whose movements were temporarily suppressed by the energy wave.

In the moment of crisis, Chen Yuan suddenly withdrew his shield, activated his electromagnetic gravity field to its full extent, and instantly focused it on the claws of the Ghost Wing Beast King.

"Ok?"

"Buzz!"

The Beast King's movements visibly paused slightly.

Bai Yuekui seized the opportunity, dodging the powerful claw attack, and simultaneously swung his sword backhand, the sharp sword light leaving a deep scorch mark on the beast king's claw tip.

"Damn bugs!"

The Ghost Wing Beast King roared in pain and angrily turned its head, unleashing another wave of energy at Chen Yuan and Bai Yuekui.

Chen Yuan raised his shield to block again, but was pushed backward by the enormous force. Bai Yuekui dodged with great agility and pressed forward once more.

Chen Yuan drew the main fire and created interference, while Bai Yuekui used his extreme speed to maneuver and fight. Although the Ghost Wing Beast King was powerful, it could not do anything to the two of them for the time being.

The counterattacks of Boss Bai and his companion failed to inflict fatal damage on the Beast King, but they successfully restrained it, preventing the Ghost Wing Beast King from focusing on commanding the overall situation.

However, the power of the Ghost Wing Beast King seemed unfathomable, while Chen Yuan and Bai Yuekui's energy consumption continued to increase.

Charles and the base's defenders below were under increasing pressure. The energy barrier had overloaded and failed in several places, creating gaps. Many of the Winged Beasts had rushed into the base's outer fortifications and engaged in brutal close combat with the soldiers.

The situation continues to tilt in an unfavorable direction.

"We must find a way to break the deadlock. The key to breaking the deadlock lies in..."

Chen Yuan's gaze swept over the Beast King's massive body, while Dragon Core frantically calculated the location of its energy core and defensive weaknesses.

Bai Yuekui was also looking for an opportunity, and the light of the Pure Candlelight Sword became solid once again.

The ultimate showdown between the air and the ground has entered its most dangerous and intense phase, and no one dares to let their guard down.

However, a moment later, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Boss Bai and Chen Yuan discovered the problem: as long as the soldiers at Jiuchuan Base were killed, the life essence in their bodies would drift towards the Ghost Wing Beast King like smoke and dust.

The terrifying combat power displayed by the Ghost Wing Beast King at the early stage of the sixth tier completely overturned the balance of the battlefield. It continuously absorbed the life force of soldiers and its own kind when they died to strengthen itself, far surpassing the king who fought based on instinct.

If the fifth rank is the monarch level, then the sixth rank is the emperor level.

"Humble insect, do you feel despair?"

The Ghost Wing Beast King roared loudly, and with a sudden flap of its huge bone wings, countless condensed, almost tangible, dark red wind blades rained down on Bai Yuekui and Chen Yuan like a storm. The area was so vast that it almost covered the entire airspace, and even Charles and others on the ground were affected.

"There's no way to avoid them, they're too dense."

Chen Yuan gave a low shout, and the Loongson 9 battle suit's energy shield was deployed to its maximum extent.

Bai Yuekui wielded a Tang sword, imbued with nanoparticles and core energy, wielding it with impenetrable golden sword light to protect his entire body.

Charles was in the worst shape. He was good at offense rather than defense, and the rhomboid shield consumed a lot of life essence. He could only angrily cross his dark red claws in front of him and take the hit head-on.

"Don't sacrifice yourselves in vain! All of you, get into the base and try to buy us as much time as possible to defend it. Leave the rest to us!"

Charles, the one standing by the abyss, said sternly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenguo knew that his side couldn't be of much help, so he took a deep breath and ordered all combat units to enter the base and guard it strictly.

“Charles, be careful.”

Suddenly, the Shadowwing Beast King disappeared from the sky. By the time Chen Yuan and Bai Yuekui realized it, the beast king had already appeared behind Charles.

"Ugh..."

Caught off guard, Charles let out a shrill scream as he was severely injured by the Winged Beast King, his shield shattering instantly.

The sturdy bioactive metal armor was torn apart, and Charles was as if he had been hit by a high-speed train. Blood gushed from the broken parts of the Abyss Armor and from Charles's mouth, splashing into the ruins and sending dust billowing into the sky.

Bai Yuekui frowned, and his mecha flew at top speed to the rescue.

"Hehehe... The first one!"

The Beast King laughed triumphantly, opening its massive maw and aiming it at Charles from afar. A highly concentrated wave of destructive energy began to rapidly gather, ready to deliver the final blow.

"Your opponent... is me."

Chen Yuan roared, and all the weapon ports on the back of the Loongson 9 were opened.

[Pulse Particle Cannon]

[Shoulder-mounted patrol round]

[Eye Quantum Pulse Rays]...

All firepower was poured onto the Winged Beast King below, forcibly interrupting its attack.

At the same time, he suddenly swooped down, activating his electromagnetic gravity field to envelop the Beast King and suppress it as much as possible.

"Annoying bugs!"

The Ghost Wing Beast King was momentarily stunned by the sudden attack and the pressure of gravity. Annoyed, it swung its claws to disperse most of the attack, and its attention was once again drawn to Chen Yuan.

Bai Yuekui transformed into a streak of light, rushing into the smoke and dust below. He dragged out Ers, who was covered in blood, his armor was badly damaged, and he was almost unconscious. He quickly moved him to a relatively safe place behind a broken wall.

"Cough...cough cough...ha...almost..."

Charles's armor shattered, revealing a deathly pale face as he coughed up blood.

If Lin Yuanzhe hadn't instinctively tightened his defenses at the last moment, that attack would have been enough to tear him and his armor to shreds.

Even so, he completely lost his fighting ability and was on the verge of death.

"hold onto!"

Bai Yuekui quickly injected him with an emergency life stabilizer, then notified Lin Zhenguo to send people out to rescue Charles, who was temporarily holding off the beast tide on the ground.

In the air, Chen Yuan was already locked in combat with the Beast King once again.

Abandoning all flashy moves, Chen Yuan maximized the performance of the Loongson 9 suit.

Ultra-high speed movement avoidance.

The energy shield blocked in time.

The pulse cannon is poised to retaliate.

Electromagnetic gravitational field suppression!

Chen Yuan bought Bai Yuekui time to save people.

"Little Yueyue, he's yours. I'll handle this beast."

Chen Yuan spoke loudly through the mecha's channel.

Boss Bai: You're such a jerk! You act like we're old friends.

Seeing the dark blue figure in the air fighting the enormous beast alone, Bai Yuekui gritted his teeth and dragged Charles to the base entrance to settle him in.

At this moment, the medical personnel sent by Lin Zhenguo arrived and gently carried Charles away.

Upon seeing this, the Pure Candle once again shone with a brilliant golden light.

Bai Yuekui took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

The aura around him began to rise, becoming ethereal yet powerful, as if resonating more deeply with the surrounding environment and the omnipresent life essence.

With the potential of his life essence erupting, Boss Bai forcibly raised his strength to the peak of the fifth rank in a short period of time.

Chapter 189 Enough, Insects

"Chen Yuan, I'm here to help you. Let's find an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!"

Bai Yuekui controlled the mecha to take off, instantly entering a state of perfect harmony between man and sword, transforming into a golden rainbow that tore through the sky, and rejoined the battle.

Her swordsmanship became increasingly fierce and unpredictable, often striking from incredible angles to specifically target the vulnerable joints of the Winged Beast King.

With Bai Yuekui holding them back, Chen Yuan's pressure was slightly reduced. The two of them, one at a distance and the other at close range, one controlling and the other attacking, cooperated more and more smoothly and actually managed to fight the Beast King to a standstill for the time being.

Blade flashes and energy beams clashed, claws collided with heavy shields.

Explosions, tearing sounds, and the beast king's rage filled the air.

The remains of the Winged Beasts, accidentally struck by the enemy, continued to fall from the sky like dumplings.

The battle has entered its most brutal phase of attrition.

However, the gap in strength is not easily bridged.

The difference between the peak of the fifth rank and the early stage of the sixth rank may seem to be only a hair's breadth, but in reality, they are worlds apart.

The abnormal energy of the Ghost Winged Beast King seemed inexhaustible, its defense was impenetrable, and its attacks were as heavy as mountains.

Even with Chen Yuan and Boss Bai working together, they could only inflict minor injuries on the Ghost Wing Beast King, and had no chance to seriously damage it.

The power that Bai Yuekui had forcibly increased began to recede like a tide, and the backlash began to appear.

Her movements gradually slowed down, her breathing became more rapid, and the light on the blade began to flicker.

Finally, after a hard-fought clash with the Beast King's powerful claw strikes,

"clang!"

Bai Yuekui nearly dropped the Tang sword from her hand. She was struck as if by a heavy blow, immediately spitting out a mouthful of blood. The light of her golden mecha dimmed instantly, and she fell from the sky like a fallen angel, crashing heavily to the ground. She struggled for a few moments but was unable to get up.

Chen Yuan's heart tightened. He didn't have enough points to exchange for a more powerful weapon, and with the firepower of his current battle suit, he probably couldn't kill the enemy in one hit.

"Hmph, the second one. Now, you're the only one left, you little bug!"

The Ghostwing Beast King shook its slightly numb claws, its scarlet pupils fixed on Chen Yuan with ferocity. "Let's see how long you can keep struggling."

The entrance to the Jiuchuan base had been destroyed by the Devouring Beasts. Bai Yuekui, who was seriously injured, was now surrounded by Devouring Beasts, all of which rushed up to tear her apart.

With the Winged Beast King watching him intently, Chen Yuan had no chance to go to his rescue. If he made a move, the Beast King would surely follow him, leaving him vulnerable from both sides.
