Ultragene Warlord

The beam pierced through the surface of the sea and vaporized a hole through it, forming a whirlpool as water sought to flow into the gap it had left.

Zhang Lie couldn ’t help but shudder as he glanced at the aftermath of the attack.
Fortunately, he and Zhu had left before it could strike them; otherwise, they would surely have died.

The starbreak annihilator would take some time to recharge after each shot, and this was Zhang Lie ’s chance to counterattack.
He couldn ’t let the cannon cast another time.

”[Shadow and Light]! ” Zhang Lie morphed into a black shadow as he dashed forward.
His swords slashed against the energy shield gleaming over the surface of the battleship to no avail.

”[Rune: Control]! ” Zhang Lie raised both his arms into the sky, and the image of a dragonturtle appeared behind him.
The two gravity-controlling tablets dropped toward the battleship.
Black ripples emanated from the two gravity-altering tablets, forming a localized region of distorted gravity.

The abrupt change in gravity caused a pressure differential that destabilized the battleship ’s energy source.
The lights flickered, as did its energy barrier.

”[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]! ” An underworld river hurtled into existence.
The haunted souls of the underworld could almost be seen in the darkness, piercing through the shield and tearing a hole in the battleship ’s exterior.
Zhang Lie rushed within.

As expected, it was another ghost ship.
Not a single figure stood within. 

Red light began to blare, and an electronic voice droned, ”Self-destruct sequence initiated. ”

Zhang Lie wouldn ’t give the spaceship the chance to self-destruct.

”[The Boundless Blade: Dragon ’s Wrath]! ” A blood-red dragon tore apart the battleship from the inside out as Zhang Lie swung his blades all around him.

”[Blade of the Heavens: the Sea Swells]! ” Energy poured out of him in waves, honing the edge of his blade.
The pulses of energy struck the realm like a tsunami, devouring everything within.
The battleship split in two, causing a gigantic explosion that resounded within the sea of mists.

The battleship exploded into a flurry of fragments, each of which vanished in a puff of mist just as they were about to hit the surface of the sea.

Whitey flew back, and Zhu asked worriedly, ”What was that just now?! ”

”Something called a galactic battleship. ”

”A galactic battleship?! ”

Zhang Lie frowned.
”It ’s not something that should have been able to appear in this realm. ”

Despite Zhu ’s curiosity, she knew not to press further.
If Zhang Lie wanted to explain things to her, he would—and if she wanted his continued protection, she would follow his rules.

”What do we do now? Without the warship around, we won ’t know how to get out. ”

”Leaving won ’t be a problem. ” He was able to break through the spatial distortions above the sea with his sword techniques, so his escape route was certainly secured.
That said, his curiosity had been piqued by the battleship that he had seen, and he had no intention of leaving the sea of mists just yet…
