Luo Yunhan stood in the Command Hall, watching the various data streaming in on the Holographic Display. The tension that had gripped him began to ease slightly. Although the losses this time were severe, they had managed to gain the upper hand.
"Not good! That person has escaped!" Suddenly, a startled exclamation from Zhong Zhi reached Luo Yunhan's ears.
Luo Yunhan furrowed his brow, and in the next moment, he appeared like a ghost behind Zhong Zhi, his eyes fixed on the surveillance video. At that moment, Zhong Zhi was frantically switching between camera feeds. No matter how he switched, there was still no sign of the person in the footage.
"His speed is too fast; we can't keep up. We have no idea where he has gone now," Zhong Zhi said as he leaned back against the soft Leather Sofa, letting out a sigh. A few beads of sweat had begun to form at his temples.
Luo Yunhan raised his slender eyebrows, his face filled with menace as he said, "Since you've come to us this time, you won't be leaving again!"
With that, Luo Yunhan's figure blurred and appeared at the Command Console. He opened a hidden compartment and pressed a button without hesitation.
…
Ye Yu's Mental Power surged forth, enveloping an area of a hundred meters around him with an invisible force. At that moment, he found himself in enemy territory, potentially facing various unexpected events at any time. Without Jin Shan by his side, his warning abilities were greatly diminished.
As Ye Yu quickly recalled the route he had just taken, he felt that his memory had improved significantly, perhaps due to the enhancement of his Mental Power. The maze-like paths he had traversed seemed familiar as if he had walked them countless times before.
In the dark corridor, only the occasional flickering indicator lights reminded him that this place was not completely devoid of life. In that darkness, a shadow darted toward the exit like a wraith.
Suddenly, faint vibrations echoed through the narrow passageway, as if some colossal beast were about to break through from somewhere. The Phantom Shadow halted, surprise flashing in its eyes before it closed them. At that moment, an invisible wave spread out like rippling air around it.
A few seconds later, the Phantom Shadow's expression suddenly changed as it looked toward the Hangar entrance. However, its face soon darkened again, and then it vanished completely. Moments later, the Phantom Shadow reappeared near the exit and relaxed slightly.
Phantom Shadow was none other than Ye Yu, who was in urgent need of seizing a Space Battleship to return to his Fleet. Seeing the target so close, Ye Yu instinctively quickened his pace.
A dull thud echoed in the enclosed corridor as if Ye Yu had collided with a wall, causing him to stagger back several steps.
In the next moment, a massive figure appeared at the exit, blocking the light from the Hangar, plunging the already dim corridor into darkness.
What was meant to come would always arrive. Ye Yu exhaled deeply, gripping his Phantom Blade tightly. He believed that with the sharpness of the Phantom Blade, he could carve out a path.
Almost simultaneously, Ye Yu transformed into a fleeting shadow once more. The next instant, a brilliant blue beam shot forth like a fired Laser Beam, cleaving towards the invisible wall ahead.
A barely audible sound of air being torn apart resonated in the corridor as Ye Yu swung his blade against that malevolence like a divine judge punishing evil.
It all happened in an instant; Ye Yu's Phantom Blade struck against the surface of that invisible wall. Immediately, a heavy and obstructive force transmitted through the blade into his wrists.
"What’s happening? Such strong resistance!" Ye Yu furrowed his brow, yet his hands did not pause for even a moment. Just as he felt his attack hindered, his arms suddenly swelled with power, and his previously calm expression twisted into one of ferocity.
In the next moment, the nearly motionless Phantom Blade continued its descent, but its speed was far from what Ye Yu had anticipated.
"Whoosh—" At that moment of shock, a powerful gust rushed towards Ye Yu's face. An overwhelming sense of pressure surged forth; if this force struck him, he would either be killed or knocked unconscious.
Just as Ye Yu sensed the impending danger, every nerve in his body reacted instantly. As that tremendous force was about to hit him squarely in the face, he miraculously shifted twenty centimeters to the side, his entire body even retreating slightly by several dozen centimeters.
"Thud—" A mouthful of blood erupted from Ye Yu, splattering onto the once transparent wall in crimson blossoms. All of this transpired in an instant; although that punch did not land on Ye Yu's face, it struck directly against his left ribcage.
Although Ye Yu tried his best to retreat, using his muscles to dissipate some of the force, that punch still inflicted significant damage on him.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Ye Yu covered the injured area, holding his sword with one hand, looking somewhat flustered at the enormous figure before him that resembled a mountain. He had just broken through to the Fourth-Stage Combat Power, experiencing a qualitative change in strength, yet the opponent's casual punch had caused him obvious injuries. Waves of shock surged within Ye Yu.
Not long ago, Ye Yu had been ambushed on Withered Source Star by an Ability user who could create invisible spatial barriers. The thought sent a chill down his spine—had the Wavebreaker Legion already laid a trap back then?
Before Ye Yu could ponder further, an overwhelming pressure bore down on him once again. His Mental Power kicked in; as soon as the opponent began their attack, Ye Yu instinctively retreated rapidly.
"Bang—" Ye Yu felt something collide against his back, but according to his mental perception, there should have been no obstacles behind him.
In that brief moment of hesitation, a dark shadow lunged toward Ye Yu's chest.
"Ha!"
With a loud shout, Ye Yu suddenly felt his arms swell with strength. He crossed them in front of him just in time to block the incoming shadow's attack.
"Crack—"
In the next instant, a sharp sound echoed as a searing pain shot from Ye Yu's shoulder straight to his brain.
Instantly, Ye Yu's expression changed dramatically—his right arm was broken!
