Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

By the time he entered the opponent’s range of fire, the other party had already entered his.

A space warship’s firing range surpassed a mecha’s. Lan Xuanyu could initially rely on the firing range of the warship to deal with the other party but he didn’t because if the distance was too great, the other party would have a chance to dodge it.

The cannon was full and the second he completed a turn in the opposite direction, Lan Xuanyu finally released his attack.

A light beam burst forth, choosing the exact moment when countless attacks swept past the side of the space warship.

He had a good grasp of timing, the attacks sweeping past his warship and lighting it up, covering the rays of light produced from the attacks of the space warship.

The process went by in a blink of an eye but it was also in this short period of time that the other party slowed down their judgment, the brief moment fatal.

A ray of light shot out, a full-blown attack by Lan Xuanyu after accumulating power in the space warship.

“Boom——” A dark yellow mecha immediately exploded into a shower of sparks.

An attack like this, where the power was accumulated in the space warship, would not be able to lock in the target through the system and could only rely on the pilot’s accurate aim. It was very powerful but the chance of hitting the target was very low. This was based almost entirely on pure luck for an ordinary pilot.

However, he managed to break a mecha’s protective shield and even destroy it with just one shot. Was it luck? When that cannon hit the opponent, the other party launched another attack as well and the protective shield was at its weakest point.

That was truly a critical moment!

The other three pirate mechas’ first reaction was: Ace pilot! How could it be? How could there be an ace pilot in a civilian spacecraft?

While they were in shock, a space warship had flown past them at high speed and directly flew towards those five pirate spaceships.

Accumulate power, explode – another cannon blasted.

“Boom——” Near the pirate spaceship, a pirate mecha facing a space warship exploded into pieces, sparks filling the entire sky.

After the battle began, the mechas of both parties were feeling it out and dodging carefully, but who knew that the first casualty would actually come from the pirates, who were clearly the stronger opponent.

After two mechas were destroyed, Lan Xuanyu was immediately the target of the pirates.

One of the two pirate spaceships turned around, over ten cannon rays aimed towards Lan Xuanyu.

The space warship was still able to take on a few hits from those mecha’s Soul Guidance cannons, but this type of spaceship cannon could destroy the space warship with just one hit.

However, nobody was worried about Lan Xuanyu’s safety, because after that shot, he did another stunt that shocked everyone.

The Soul Guidance warship rolled horizontally three times- rolling thrice wasn’t a special feat, and although there was a level of difficulty in completing this stunt at high-speed, most space warship pilots would be able to do it after practicing hard. The challenging part was actually making a directional change while rolling. In other words, the space warship was adjusting its angle at every roll without slowing down at all.

It was easy for an ordinary pilot to lose control of the warship while performing rolls, which would cause the warship to deviate from the right direction and might even continue to go out of control. The rolls that Lan Xuanyu performed seemed like he had lost control but after three consecutive rolls, he was still moving towards a single direction. After completing three rolls and a change in direction, he flew diagonally without slowing down too much. Then, he immediately completed a full acceleration.

Before the attacks from the pirate spaceships came, he was already far away.

‘A true man won’t stand beside a collapsing wall’ – without exposing himself to the gunfire that could kill him in seconds, he cruised around, looking for a chance to give the opponent a fatal blow. Sometimes, patience was more important than anything else —— Yin Tianfan.

There was no doubt that Lan Xuanyu had a great master. When faced with the mechas, he attacked bravely, because even if he made a mistake, he wouldn’t be destroyed by the other party. However, he didn’t dare get so close to the spaceships.

After two pirate mechas were destroyed, the aggressive pirates became sluggish and the space warship that Lan Xuanyu was piloting became the most eye-catching star in the area.

Lan Xuanyu’s confidence increased after destroying two mechas, getting very excited and going into an unprecedented optimal mental state.

However, just at this moment, an intense paralysis came over him. Lan Xuanyu felt his Spiritual Power, which was linked to the space warship, becoming limited and his entire being becoming numb.

Then, he saw a giant silver light opening up a distance away and was coming towards him.

That is…

Lan Xuanyu was overwhelmed with horror instantly – a space hunting net!

How could it be? Why would there be a space hunting net?

He tried his best to control the space warship, wanting to escape, but he was already surrounded by a layer of electric current. Not only did it cause his consciousness to become sluggish, it also caused a major interference in various systems of his warship.

The space hunting net was an attack weapon that targeted mechas and space warships. It was invisible when released at first, similar to a missile. After it was released, it would open up suddenly at a specified range and let out a strong interference current. It would also cover and intertwine. As long as one was hit by it, it would definitely lose control.

However, the space hunting net wasn’t something the meteorite-class surveillance spaceship could deploy, it must be at least a meteor-class spaceship to own it!

Those five pirate spaceships were clearly meteorite-class surveillance spaceships.

However, the net was right before him and he had to believe it.

The space hunting net covered his space warship, and like a moth darting into fire [1], his warship was immediately caged by the big net.

The remaining three mechas that were chasing him were already there with their ice-cold Soul Guidance cannon mouths aiming at him.

I’m doomed…

Lan Xuanyu’s mind was blank, knowing he had been too careless. If Master was here, he wouldn’t have let down his guard because of excitement. If he could have changed his direction another two more times just now, he might not have landed within this space hunting net’s attack range.

Master said before that even if the opponent cannot be seen, he must always change his directions, but what about him? What did he do?

At this very instant, his heart was filled with regret, but there was no cure for that.

The Soul Guidance cannons that came from three mechas spat out rays of light, directly landing onto the space warship that was captured within the space hunting net.

However, just at this very moment, there was a sudden burst of golden light. The Soul Guidance cannons directly hit the middle of that golden light but it only released golden ripples.

The pilots of those three pirate mechas were taken back, their pupils constricting immediately. They didn’t dare to believe their own eyes.

That, what is that? That’s a dragon?

Yes, in this vast universe, a giant golden dragon suddenly appeared before those three pirate mechas without any warning. It used its body to block their attacks.

The giant dragon opened its mouth widely – sound cannot travel in a vacuum but everyone could feel its rage.

When it roared without a sound, the three mechas that were in front of him actually turned to a golden color and melted like snow. The pirates in the mechas melted too…

Who would have expected this to happen all of a sudden? And that giant golden dragon simply turned around, moving its wing, and the space hunting net that was covering the space warship disappeared immediately.

Lan Xuanyu was dumbfounded as he watched the scene unfold. At this moment, his body was suddenly filled with heat and completely out of his control. The meridians in his body were surging, feeling like they wanted to break out of his body.
