Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1856: Twin-life Demonic Puppets

The Blood God Legion was situated in an extremely sparsely populated area to guard the abyssal passageway there, and that was also the type of place where the federation would test all types of super weapons.

As such, abyssal creatures made for the perfect lab rats to test those weapons on. Thus, almost all powerful new weapons were immediately sent to the Blood God Legion for testing, and heavy ion laser weapons were no exception.

The Blood God Legion had been prioritized when it came to the assignment of these weapons, and even though the Central Legion also possessed heavy ion laser weapons, they didn’t anywhere near as much as the Blood God Legion did.

The heavy ion laser cannons currently being used by the Blood God Legion were the most powerful heavy ion laser weapons that had been developed to date.

Heavy ion laser guns were able to scorch an enemy’s internal organs, while heavy ion laser cannons could essentially inject the power of bombs into the bodies of enemies, causing them to explode.

“Prepare to fire!”

The white mecha flying at the very forefront of the squadron had red patterns on its surface, and it was being piloted by none other than Zhang Huanyun.

This mecha was a divine-grade mecha, and it was the only mecha in the Blood God Legion that had permission to adopt a different color scheme from the set conventions.

Zhang Huanyun had been battling abyssal creatures for most of his life, but this was the first time he had ever seen so many abyssal creatures at once. In particular, the likes of the Abyssal Spirit Dragons, Abyssal Evil Sickles, and Abyssal Demonic Puppets had never been seen even by the Blood God Legion.

He was well aware of the significance of this battle to all of humanity; the outcome of this battle could very well decide the fate of the entire planet.

Bursts of blue light began to glow on the heavy ion laser cannons as they began to accumulate power.

Right at this moment, the five Abyssal Spirit Dragons being carried by the Abyssal Demonic Puppets suddenly screeched in unison.

With their immense spiritual power, they could sense just how dangerous these white mechas were, so they immediately chose to unleash spiritual attacks.

However, right at this moment, a huge mirror appeared in front of Zhang Huanyun, and it expanded to encompass virtually the entire sky.

This was his martial soul true body!

The surface of the giant mirror rippled violently like water, and in the eyes of the abyssal creatures, all of the soul aircrafts and mechas had suddenly disappeared; all they could see was a reflection of themselves.

In the next instant, powerful spiritual fluctuations surged toward them as the spiritual attacks unleashed by the five Abyssal Spirit Dragons were completely reflected to target the Abyssal Demonic Puppets.

Abyssal Demonic Puppets possessed exceptional physical and spiritual resistance, but even so, they were still plunged into a state of chaos, and many of them plummeted straight out of the sky.

Fortunately for them, those that did fall out of the sky managed to recover even before plummeting to the ground, and they flapped their wings vigorously to return to their original altitude.

This was one of Zhang Huanyun’s powerful soul skills, Mirror Mirage, and it was capable of reflecting all attacks.

This soul skill actually wasn’t all that practical against Soul Masters as it required too much time to prepare and unleash, and it could only reflect attacks toward a set direction. However, Zhang Huanyun was a soldier, and this soul skill was exceptionally useful on a battlefield.

Even though Mirror Mirage wasn’t able to destroy the oncoming abyssal creatures, it had bought the Blood God Legion sufficient time. Even more importantly, with Mirror Mirage standing in the way, the Abyssal Spirit Dragons and Abyssal Demonic Puppets were completely unable to see what was happening up ahead; even their spiritual power was being kept at bay.

“Fire!” Zhang Huanyun roared.

Ball of blue light appeared in the cannon barrels of the Blood God Legion mechas, and invisible light waves instantly surged toward the oncoming abyssal creatures.

In the instant that Zhang Huanyun issued this order, his Mirror Mirage also vanished.

At this point, the Abyssal Demonic Puppets were already no more than two kilometers away from the mecha squadron, yet all of the Abyssal Demonic Puppets flying at the very forefront suddenly fell completely still in mid-air.

Immediately thereafter, one explosion took place after another, and one of each of the affected Abyssal Demonic Puppets’ heads exploded, while their bodies were enveloped in dense clouds of grey mist.

Zhang Huanyun was ecstatic to see this. As expected, the heavy ion laser cannons were working! They destroyed targets from the inside and were perfect for targeting abyssal creatures with powerful defenses like these ones.

However, in the next instant, his pupils abruptly contracted.

The grey mist only paused for a moment before the Abyssal Demonic Puppets that were supposed to have been killed rushed out and continued on toward the mecha squadron. However, the two heads on their shoulders had now been reduced to one.

These things had two lives?

Zhang Huanyun immediately came to this realization, and his heart sank as it dawned on him.

Heavy ion laser cannons were extremely powerful, but a cooldown period of five minutes came after each usage. The enemies were only less than two kilometers away; where were they going to find these five minutes from?

Under the protection of the Abyssal Demonic Puppets, none of the five Abyssal Spirit Dragons were struck by the heavy ion lasers, and at this point, their bodies had turned red once again, so Light of Debilitation was sure to follow.

The combination of Light of Debilitation and the immense offensive prowess of the Abyssal Demonic Puppets was sure to be a recipe for disaster.

The front limbs of the Abyssal Demonic Puppets flying at the very forefront turned green, and streaks of green light shot forth from them.

In a normal aerial battle, Zhang Huanyun would command all of the aircrafts and mechas to disperse and retreat to open up some distance between themselves and the enemy until the heavy ion laser cannons were ready to fire again. 

However, they couldn’t afford to retreat now!

The main weakness of the infrasonic aircrafts was their slow speed; if they were to retreat, then the infrasonic aircrafts would be completely exposed to the enemy, and they would definitely be destroyed, which was something that absolutely could not be allowed to happen.

Thus, Zhang Huanyun was facing a very difficult decision.

Mirror Mirage appeared once again to reflect those corrosive streaks of green light, but it was very difficult for him to oversee the entire battlefield on his own; he could block the first round of attacks, but he couldn’t keep this up forever.

Right at this critical juncture, a sharp screeching sound suddenly rang out from either side, and immediately thereafter, countless soul laser beams and all types of soul missiles shot forth from the distance.

Over 300 soul aircrafts arrived on the scene at high speeds, attacking the Abyssal Demonic Puppets from both the right and the left.

Zhang Huanyun’s eyes immediately lit up upon seeing this. Judging from the insignias on the aircrafts, it was clear that they were from the Western Legion and Northwestern Legion.

One had to realize that soul aircrafts were extremely precious for any legion. Not only were they extremely expensive to produce, they were immensely effective on the battlefield, and all legion commanders held their soul aircrafts close to their hearts.

Thus, even Yu Guanzhi had only ordered the Western Legion and Northwestern Legion to look after the airspace above their own encampments rather than command them to deploy their soul aircrafts onto the battlefield.

As for the Southern Legion and Northern Legion, they didn’t even have a single soul aircraft between them.

Judging from the numbers, these were most likely all of the soul aircrafts the Western Legion and the Northwestern Legion had, and they had arrived right in the nick of time.

“Nice!” Zhang Huanyun couldn’t help but yell as he sat in his mecha’s pilot room.

This was what the federal military was supposed to be all about! All of the legions had to be completely unified and unselfish in the face of these formidable foes.

Dong Zi’an had finally learned his lesson and deployed his trump card at this crucial juncture.
