218: Chapter 218 Making Money Requires Timing!

The moment that giant hand pressed onto the outer shell of the Pilot Tower, the entire Ghost Fortress sank downward.

Five indentations were pinched into the metal exterior.

Inside the main control room, red alarms flooded the screens.

Mio's projection nearly crashed into the holographic console.

"The evasion route is completely red!"

"Veering left will lead us into the range of the Hunter King's heavy blade!"

"Veering right will cause the ecological pods in the lower deck to tear under the stress!"

"There's no time to ascend!"

"Descending will cause us to be ripped open by that hand!"

Shen Wanbing pressed both hands onto the console, the blue light of her concentration ice heart necklace shining at its brightest.

Sweat beaded on her forehead, and she spoke rapidly.

"I can force-activate spatial deflection."

"The cost?"

Chen Chen stood at the edge of the dome, looking up at the descending flesh heavy blade.

Shen Wanbing paused for a beat.

"Mental Power overdraft."

"The success rate for deflection is forty percent."

Mio shrieked immediately.

"Forty percent is already very high! Deflect, quickly!"

Chen Chen gripped the sea-stabilizing needle in his left hand and slowly drew the Space-Shattering Gravity Anti-Ship Sword with his right.

"No deflection."

Mio's projection froze.

"Say that again?"

The metal plate beneath Chen Chen's feet cracked under his weight.

"Who said anything about hiding?"

As the words fell.

He launched himself from the edge of the dome.

Without the aid of thrusters.

Without an ejection device.

With over two hundred points of constitution, he crushed the alloy pedal inward, his body carrying an exploding shockwave as he charged straight up to meet that twenty-meter-long flesh heavy blade.

In the lower deck projection, all the mine slaves looked up at that figure.

Someone dropped the soup bowl in their hand.

No one cursed.

No one scrambled.

Even the few burly men who had been trying to rush the gate earlier were now cowering and kneeling on the spot.

"He... he's going to take it head-on?"

"That's a Tier 6!"

Iron Wall carried his heavy machine gun, his voice cracking.

"Look closely!"

"This is your Lord now!"

High in the air.

The Hunter King's blood-red vertical pupils contracted sharply.

"Courting death."

The flesh heavy blade descended, crackling with grayish-white arcs of electricity.

The pressure from the blade fell onto the fortress shield a step ahead.

The first layer of the shield was instantly scorched with a large hole, its edges melting like plastic film and dripping downward.

Jiang Jiuyou slammed a palm onto the auxiliary console.

"Left wing shield, fill the gap!"

"Artillery array, hold steady!"

"Qin Hongye, lock the neck!"

"Blood Rose, don't stop the poison mist!"

Blood Rose stood at the edge of the high tower, the restraint band on her wrist already stained red.

She bit her fingertip and flung the blood streaks into the rising airflow.

"Let's add some more flavor for him."

Jiang Yanxue grazed past the remains of the Hunter King's right leg armor, flicking her blade.

"Don't poison yourself to death first."

Blood Rose's voice was hoarse, but she could still laugh.

"Don't worry, my life is tough until I get the reward."

Su Xiaoqi hugged the earth dragon leg bone and smashed it against the Hunter King's knee again.

"Big Brother! Its leg is quite sturdy!"

Mio broke down in the channel.

"Can you not judge a Tier 6 using ingredient standards!"

The next second.

Chen Chen arrived.

The sea-stabilizing needle in his left hand suddenly surged in size.

Blue and gold light patterns erupted from the staff, forcibly freezing the surging spatial ripples around it for a moment.

The Space-Shattering Gravity Anti-Ship Sword in his right hand lit up with golden light.

He exerted force with both arms, swinging directly into that flesh heavy blade.

Boom!

The golden blade clashed with the flesh heavy blade.

A ring-shaped shockwave exploded from high altitude, directly overturning several temporary towers that had just been repaired below.

The landlady in the commercial district grabbed the gold toilet wine barrel.

"My sign!"

Su Xiaoqi looked up and added.

"The sign can be repaired, just don't let the meat fly away."

The landlady was almost driven mad with anger.

"You shut up!"

High in the air.

The Hunter King had originally intended to smash through the Pilot Tower with one strike.

But the blade stopped.

Held firmly in mid-air by Chen Chen.

The Hunter King's flesh shoulder armor bulged in layers, the red light of its Tier 6 core flashing wildly within its chest cavity.

"Human..."

"How can you block me?"

Chen Chen's feet were suspended in the air, his blade pressing against the opponent's heavy blade, his arm muscles taut.

"Because you don't have enough strength."

The Hunter King let out a low growl, the flesh heavy blade continuing to press down.

Chen Chen's figure was pressed down by half a meter.

In the main control room, Shen Wanxing clutched a blanket, her face pale.

"Big Brother is being pressed down!"

Shen Wanbing stared fixedly at the data.

"That's not right."

"The Hunter King's blade is losing durability."

Just as she finished speaking.

A black dot appeared at the intersection of the two blades.

The Gravity Collapse of the Space-Shattering Gravity Anti-Ship Sword was triggered.

That black dot spun faster and faster, and the grayish-white alloy on the Hunter King's flesh heavy blade began to twist and peel off, with pieces of outer armor being sucked in and forcibly compressed into a ball.

The Hunter King pulled its blade back for the first time.

Chen Chen didn't give it a chance.

Mental Power spread out instantly.

Silver ripples exploded from his body.

Absolute Control: Gravity Field.

Twenty-five times.

Layered with the three times base pressure of the Level 3 Map.

The Hunter King's massive body plummeted suddenly in mid-air.

Crack!

A muffled sound came from its two mechanical knees.

The outer armor of the knees cracked, and the flesh and tendon bundles were crushed, spraying out black-red liquid.

The next second.

This Tier 6 Hunter King was forced to its knees in mid-air.

The entire Sea-Air Composite Fortress saw it.

The lower deck was silent for half a second.

Then it exploded.

"It knelt!"

"The Tier 6 knelt!"

"The Lord forced the Tier 6 to its knees!"

Iron Wall kicked over a thug who was still in a daze.

"What are you shouting for! Don't break the formation!"

He was the loudest one himself.

"The Lord is awesome!"

In the commercial district, the landlady knocked two beads off her abacus.

She immediately slammed the table.

"Change the odds!"

"The odds for Chen Chen personally decapitating it have dropped to one to five!"

The mine slaves were anxious.

"Wasn't it one to thirty just a moment ago?"

The landlady's fox ears twitched.

"Who told you not to bet earlier? Timing is everything when making money!"
