Chapter 1220: Chapter 1084: The Heavenly Dao Rewards Reincarnation

The five starships chasing behind were initially unaware that the situation had quietly reversed.

Because the escape of the opposing starship was so chaotic, everyone thought this starship had lost its bearings, making victory seem easily attainable.

But as time ticked by second by second, the crazily fleeing starship still remained full of energy.

The key was that this guy was just too agile; it couldn’t be caught, and it seemed like the chances of hitting it were diminishing.

"Huh?" Finally, someone noticed something was amiss, "If they keep this up... they’re likely to escape."

"How is that possible?" Most of the pursuers remained confident, "This tiny starship can’t possibly be a match, right?"

Having such a misunderstanding is not really surprising.

When the Business Ship was initially designed, the focus was on convenience and comfort, with space combat and survival really not considered.

As time continued to pass, after the five starships had chased over 10 million kilometers, the pursuers finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Damn, it’s really running... can we still catch up with it?"

"Even if we can’t catch it, we have to try," Si Xi said with a grim face, "I can’t believe they’ve packed that many Energy Blocks!"

The issue of Energy Blocks was actually just an excuse, as the Supreme was on board their ship, and there likely wouldn’t be a shortage of Energy Blocks in the Storage Talisman.

But he could only gamble, because if the other side got away, the consequences would be truly unimaginable.

Don’t be fooled by Si Xi’s strong presence on Qingyuan Star, forcing the nobles to struggle for breath; he relies on the power of the system.

Under such reliance, he can exert strength far beyond his own capabilities, but at the same time, he must avoid certain taboos.

Attacking a noble’s utility ship without any reason was already a major taboo.

Especially since the other side retained audio-visual records—making it difficult for him to distort the truth—this shows the other side is hard to deal with.

——The other side is confident that if they expose the issue, he’ll face the appropriate punishment!

No matter what, now is definitely not a time to give up, or the consequences would be unbearable for him.

Still, he didn’t believe that the other side’s small Business Starship could really defy the heavens?

Time continued to pass, and the five starships unknowingly chased another 40 to 50 million kilometers.

By this time, the Customs Enforcement Warship began to falter, "Energy Block consumption is nearly half, unable to maintain high-intensity attacks."

Every time the Customs Enforcement Warship goes out, it generally doesn’t carry too few Energy Blocks since they need to patrol and inspection, ready for combat at any time.

But this round of pursuit and entanglement—especially sustained high-intensity attacks—consumed a large amount of their Energy Blocks.

"That’s not a problem," someone from the Military announced, "We still have enough Energy Blocks."

This time, when Si Xi brought his team out, they mainly came because they received information that Qu Jianlei’s group had left and wanted to seize the opportunity to capture them.

Only, he didn’t expect that after the Business Starship took off, it wouldn’t return for over a month.

Fortunately, he had made enough preparations, with all supplies in order, and now he could support the Customs Enforcement Warship with some.

At this point of pursuit, none had any retreat to speak of, as this was not a time to be stingy about resources.

After another pursuit of over 10 million kilometers, suddenly someone exclaimed, "Behind... behind there are unknown starships appearing!"

The starships at the rear weren’t many, totaling eight, with two main ships and six small attack ships.

From their appearance, one main ship closely resembled standard military battleships, and the other main ship was purely an Armed Merchant Ship.

But what was most unsettling was the six small attack ships—their appearance indicated that the opposition was already ready for combat.

The eight starships formed a combat formation, quietly encircling from behind the fleet.

"Is this... the other side’s reinforcements?" Si Xi could hardly believe his eyes.

The combat ability formed by these eight starships didn’t worry him too much, as he’s holding four main military ships.

Two of them are assassin-type stealth warships, with slightly weak defense, but they have high maneuverability and firepower.

However, the fact that the other side could call in support starships through the vastness of space gave him a bad feeling.

Being able to request aid in space wasn’t easy, and the reinforcements could arrive on time—what kind of force was this?

Nonetheless, he’d chased and attacked them for so long, it was already too late to regret.

So he could only force communication with the opposition, issuing a severe warning.

"This is the Imperial Military Special Operations Team, unrelated persons must leave now!"

"Warning, the newly arrived starships must leave quickly, or bear the consequences themselves, bear the consequences themselves!"

Regardless of whether the newcomers are the opposition’s reinforcements, he must assume they’re not reinforcements—there’s no other choice.

Yet if the newcomers insisted on intervening, then they’d simply have to engage in battle.

——The possibility of losing wasn’t high, but making such enemies now, and in the future...

Well, let’s first deal with the current situation before talking about the future; if he can’t completely eliminate the other side, then he’ll have to escape quickly.

But in the next moment, a voice was heard, "We were just passing by, found it a bit curious... What are you doing?"

The speaker was a female voice, but the words sounded... really irritating.

It feels like a bad path! Si Xi spoke with a stern face, "This is a serious warning, this is not a joke! Not a joke!"

"If you refuse to leave, we will follow the Military Department’s orders and launch a destructive strike. This is the first warning..."

He hadn’t issued the second warning when the woman opposite chuckled lightly, "Don’t tease, can you represent the military?"

Immediately, she exclaimed sharply, "Full attack, regardless of life or death!"

The next moment, eight starships approached, aggressively spitting flames.

"You... You’re courting death!" Si Xi’s eyes were about to pop out, "Attack ships... deploy!"

The two military standard warships each came with two attack ships, even when pursuing the business starship, they hadn’t been deployed.

But now, there’s no holding back, especially since the business starship had stopped fleeing and turned to attack.

However, just as the four attack ships were released, urgent shouts came across the public channel.

"Damn, my ship suddenly lost speed, the power... power system has stopped!"

"Lost control, lost control, my ship seems to be invaded by an unknown program, seems to be invaded by an unknown program!"

"Help! Display system failure, instrument panel failure, suspected encounter with unknown cosmic rays! Suspected encounter with unknown cosmic rays!"

"Oh shoot..." Si Xi’s face changed at these words, "Check our..."

He hadn’t finished speaking when someone urgently replied, "Power system failure... No, the fire control system also has a failure!"

Si Xi took a deep breath upon hearing this and spoke forcibly calm, "Four attack ships, listen to orders!"

"Rapidly enhance the protective shield to the top level, always monitor each control subsystem, always monitor each control subsystem!"

"This is a digital attack from the enemy, a digital attack from the enemy!"

At this moment, he no longer said "the other side," but directly defined them as "the enemy!"

The four attack ships received the order and quickly enhanced their protective shield’s intensity.

— To deal with digital attacks, starships don’t have particularly effective means, unless all control and transmission systems are shut down.

However, this isn’t realistic; control systems can be switched to manual, but transmission systems can’t be completed manually.

So everyone can only enhance the protective shields, which increases the difficulty of digital invasion by the enemy, but... isn’t particularly effective.

Other starships were also urgently dealing with the invading digital signals.

However, even regular troops have very limited means to deal with digital invasions.

Back then, the digital battleship didn’t last long against Little Lake’s invasion, let alone these relatively ordinary warships?

The four attack ships in the hangar earlier hadn’t started up, so they luckily avoided being invaded.

However, now Little Lake had let loose completely, beginning to invade recklessly.

Within two or three minutes, all of the opponent’s nine starships had powered down.

The powered-down starships still had their own inertial motion, some moving rapidly away from the battlefield.

For such targets, the coming eight starships showed no mercy, directly covering them with cannon fire.

After continuously blowing up two starships, Si Xi was filled with rage and couldn’t help but shout.

"Stop! Do you know what you’re doing? This is slaughtering Imperial soldiers!"

"Have you considered the consequences? You’ll become permanent fugitives from the military, none can escape!"

However, just as he finished shouting, another starship was blown up—an invisibility warship!

Then a lazy male voice came over the public channel, "Wanted? We’re so scared."

"But it’s okay, as long as we leave you all here, then there’s no need to worry. Didn’t you think that way before?"

The true Heavenly Dao turns, you brought this upon yourself, who can you blame?

From the blown-up starships, lifeboats and mechas were ejected out.

However, the later eight starships wouldn’t even spare these survivors, slowly taking aim at every single one.

Witnessing this scene, finally someone couldn’t help but plead, "We are from the Customs Enforcement Division, coerced by the military, ah..."

With several screams echoing out, someone coldly spoke, "Clearing yourself now? Foolish!"

However, right after, several starships fired another salvo, blowing up the Customs Enforcement Warship.

Qu Jianlei spoke lazily, "Playing tough with me at this time... wouldn’t a few more minutes of life be better?"

Si Xi had calmed down; at this moment, getting angry was pointless, only making himself look foolish and amusing the opponent.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly spoke, "Before leaving, we filed with the military."

"Don’t think that leaving us all here means you can rest easy, the military won’t spare you!"

"If you know what’s good for you and are willing to stop now, the military... might consider making some compensations!"
