But faced with the hail of bullets sweeping in from all directions, Xue An looked as if he’d been scared stupid, standing there without moving an inch.
Meng Yi laughed triumphantly, as if he could already see Xue An being blasted into dust.
As for Shu Jingchu and Jin Shanquan, their hearts had jumped straight into their throats.
At the same time, countless watchful gazes were cast down from the starship above.
"Young Master, this supporter’s situation seems rather unfavorable, so you should hurry and leave on the shuttle now. I believe these Firearms Society people are only here for money, they probably won’t chase after you!" A man with a wound on his forehead said anxiously.
A slender, pale‑skinned youth stood before the ship’s observation window, the slightly sickly face showing no readable expression.
"Wait a bit longer, there should be a reversal yet," the youth said softly.
The man looked at the figure in the observation window that was about to be swallowed by the barrage of cannon fire, and truly could not imagine what kind of reversal could still occur.
In his desperation, he dropped to his knees with a thump.
"Young Master, whether there’s a reversal or not, the situation is already this urgent. Our lives don’t matter, but your body is worth ten thousand gold—how can it fall into the hands of the Firearms Society? For the sake of safety, you should leave at once!"
The youth watched with his eyes wide open as that white back was swallowed by boundless artillery fire, and the flame in his eyes dimmed along with it.
So it still failed in the end?
What a pity!
With that thought, he finally nodded. "Very well, go make preparations."
The man was overjoyed. "Everything is already prepared. You can board now!"
The youth took one last look at the scene in the observation window, then turned to leave.
But just then, a streak of white light caught his eye at the edge of his vision and stopped his steps, making him stare fixedly at the observation window.
The man grew frantic.
Time truly could no longer be wasted now, so he was just about to urge the youth on when he too froze.
Through the observation window they could see that, out in space, countless blazing white lights suddenly erupted.
The moment these white lights appeared, they smothered that boundless artillery fire and pressed back with a ferocious momentum.
"Th‑this... what is that?" the man muttered, his eyes dull.
"Sword light!" the youth suddenly said.
"Sword light?"
"That’s right! And sword light so pure it couldn’t be any purer!"
As his voice fell, whether from over‑excitement or something else, the youth suddenly began coughing violently.
The coughing was so painful that just hearing it made one feel as if his lungs were about to be hacked up.
The man hurried forward, and from a Jade Gourd at the youth’s waist barely the size of a palm, he took out a pitch‑black Medicine Elixir and handed it to the youth.
The youth’s hand trembled as he received it, threw back his head and swallowed, and only after a moment did he manage to suppress that violent coughing, panting heavily.
"Young Master, are you alright?" the man asked, his face full of worry.
The youth waved a hand, his face flushed with sickly color, yet his eyes shone bright as stars.
"Has this man’s background been traced out?"
"We just investigated once, but didn’t get the slightest clue. He seems to be a newcomer who has never appeared before!"
"Oh? A newcomer who has never appeared? That means he’s from outside, then?" The youth seemed somewhat surprised.
The man cried out instead, "Young Master, look, the second wave of attacks is coming!"
In fact, there was no need for his warning; the youth had already seen what was happening outside.
Seeing that his seemingly foolproof first wave of attacks had actually missed, Meng Yi’s laughter was stuck in his throat, neither up nor down.
In his shame and rage, he immediately launched a second wave of attacks.
This time not only did he hold nothing back, his subordinates wielding muskets did the same.
The fierce storm of bullets came again.
But this time, they couldn’t even get close.
