227: Chapter 226 Persuading to Surrender

The battlefield was actually not far from Chaos Star; after all, Chaos Star was the center of the entire Chaos Galaxy.

It was also a dividing point.

Once the destination coordinates were set, the mecha and the spaceship could navigate automatically.

And the one piloting the spaceship behind was Brother Chen.

They traveled toward their destination for over an hour.

Arriving at the edge of the battlefield, the radar already showed warships of the Intelligent Human Allied Forces.

After proceeding a bit further, the Intelligent Humans' radar voice notification came through.

He took the call, said a few words, and was granted passage immediately.

Continuing toward the battlefield, they flew for another three hours or so.

They arrived at the battlefield, where the entire starry sky was filled with floating wreckage of mechas and warships. As for the corpses?

They were rare; most had been vaporized by the main cannons of the warships, reduced to ashes. No need to buy urns... it saved money.

In space, picking up wreckage was relatively simple; unlike on land, there was no need to carry it.

If it were a person, they would just wear a protective suit and use a safety rope to pull them over.

Robots didn't need that; they could fly automatically.

As soon as they reached the battlefield, Lu Qingfeng called Brother Chen, asking him to arrange for the robots to pull the wreckage.

Soon, the robots were all deployed, pulling pieces of wreckage and transporting them into the spaceship.

The large pieces were as big as houses, while the small ones were the size of a person's arm or leg.

Piece by piece, he wanted any wreckage available; they would be smelted down once they returned anyway.

As time passed, the wreckage on the periphery grew sparse, and they gradually moved deeper into the battlefield.

The battlefield was vast, and the radar didn't show any battlefield cleanup ships from the Human Alliance, only those from the Intelligent Human Alliance.

Except the Alliance personnel were cleaning up warships, while they were responsible for the mechas.

There was more mecha wreckage in the depths of the battlefield, and Lu Qingfeng noticed that most were Level 6 mecha remains; there were none at level 7 or above.

It was clear from this that this war was indeed a war of attrition.

This further indicated that his situation was very precarious.

First, he had a large amount of mecha Materials and vibranium in his hands.

Most importantly, they wanted Chaos Star, the place he had helped them unify.

Even just by imagining it, Lu Qingfeng could deduce the struggle between the two factions.

The slightly weaker side would lay out a plan, trying to narrow the gap with the stronger side to gain more say, or even find an opportunity to eliminate the other.

And he had become their tool.

Thinking it over, he realized he was still too young.

He had taught the Martial Dao away too easily, but he didn't regret it. Without teaching it, how could he have entered the Guoshu Academy? Without knowing Xiao Jingdao, his Cultivation would not have been so smooth, and he wouldn't have had the chance to come here. He might still be brooding over how to achieve Baodan.

How could he have advanced to Outer Gang so quickly? He might even break through the Void Realm and reach Seeing God tonight...

Everything has two sides... one can feel sorry for the past, but one cannot regret it...

As they went deeper into the battlefield... a sharp pain suddenly shot through Lu Qingfeng's mind.

It's here...

Lu Qingfeng checked the time: 11:11 PM.

Interesting. Was this a hint that his life would only be 11:11?

Soon, many red dots appeared on the radar... surrounding this patch of the starry sky.

Even if he wanted to leave now, he couldn't.

In the boundless Void Realm, several large warships quickly approached... along with a super mothership.

The Intelligent Human Alliance ships remaining on the battlefield saw that something was wrong and were about to connect to ask who they were when lasers flashed from the distant Void Realm.

"Boom... Boom... Boom..."

Fragments of the ships danced in the Void Realm... they didn't even have a chance to send a signal before they were turned to ashes.

The warships quickly surrounded him... the words "AI" and a skull were painted on their hulls.

Lu Qingfeng stood in the cockpit and drew a combat saber about 800 meters long.

The blade emitted a glow in the Void Realm.

The opposing warships did not fire; instead, a request for communication came through.

Lu Qingfeng smiled. He wanted to know what they were up to and how they planned to persuade him.

This is truly interesting... Hahaha!

At this moment, he laughed wildly in his heart...

He connected the video call...

An unfamiliar middle-aged man appeared on the screen.

He said with a smile:

"Hello, student Lu Qingfeng!"

"What? Aren't you going to introduce yourself? How should I address you? Intelligent Human, pirate, or something related to the Huangpu family?"

Lu Qingfeng said this with a smile.

The man opposite him was slightly surprised, his mouth hanging open for a moment, but finally, he chuckled.

"Student Lu Qingfeng, you are indeed smart. Since you know, are you being arrogant, or do you think you can handle our entire fleet with just that king-class mecha?"

"Not really. I'm just still a bit unwilling to let go of Huangfu Xinyu. Is she here? Mr. Huangfu?"

"She's here... but she doesn't want to see you. However, student Lu Qingfeng, if you want to see her, I can call her over..."

"Enough with the nonsense. State your purpose, or else, even if I die here, I can still kill you. Do you believe me?"

"Young man, don't be so murderous. Do you think you're the only one with a mecha?" With that, the massive mothership's bay doors opened, and two giant mechas appeared in the Void Realm, about 2,000 meters tall.

Lu Qingfeng's pupils constricted... Baji mecha.

But he noticed that the level 8 mecha in the starry sky didn't give him a very strong danger signal; the real threat was that mothership.

Mechas in the starry sky weren't as exaggerated as those on planets...

"Surrender... student Lu Qingfeng. Join our Huangfu Family. I can make the decision to marry Xinyu to you. Don't you know she likes you?"

"Hahahaha... What a 'liking'. What's your name?"

Huangfu Zan... you can also call me Uncle Huangfu!" the middle-aged man said cheerfully.

"Oh? So you're the pirate leader she mentioned? Interesting... a dead man suddenly becomes a pirate leader, disguising himself as an Intelligent Human to rob his own compatriots. Calling you 'Uncle' would only dirty my mouth..."

"Young man, don't be so hostile. You need to understand the situation. I'm not just simply inviting you." At this point, Huangfu Zan's eyes flickered with killing intent as he said coldly:

"Either die... or cripple your Cultivation and join the Huangfu Family, and I'll spare your life."

"If it weren't for Xinyu's pleading... you would be dead today. I wouldn't even bother talking to you. After all, she is my daughter; I still have to listen to her requests..."

Lu Qingfeng felt like he had heard the biggest joke.

"Hahaha..."

He suddenly shouted, "Traitor to humanity, you scoundrel... Do you want me to be a spineless dog? I have to cripple my Cultivation just to stay alive? Are you trying to make me die of laughter?"

As he spoke, Lu Qingfeng's combat saber released brilliant blade light in the Void Realm. This was the greatest advantage of a Martial Artist: in the Void Realm, Ability Users couldn't release their Special Abilities, but Martial Artists could use their own power...

"Choosing the hard way over the easy way..." Huangfu Zan snorted coldly. "If we kill you... Chaos City will be ours. We can also spread rumors of your betrayal of humanity. When that happens, the Martial Arts Academy will collapse. So, if you don't join us, you must die."

Lu Qingfeng's heart sank. Just as he thought, they wanted to push him into a bottomless abyss. Even if he died, he would have to bear infamy for ten thousand years... never to be redeemed...

Since that's the case... then...

Lu Qingfeng's gaze sharpened. With his Protective Aura, he could still break through their shields even without vibranium weapons.

"Die..."

With a sudden dash, Lu Qingfeng charged toward the mothership. To capture the rebels, one must first capture their leader...

As for whether he could break through the mothership's defenses, he didn't need to worry. His main concern was whether they could provide him with enough pressure...

Let the storm rage even more fiercely... He would use this to break through the Void Realm and reach Seeing God and Remaining Indestructible...
