1896 Turning the Tide Once Again
The new armored airships were only 100 meters away from the landing pad.

The corners of Meng Chao’s lips curled up into a smile as if he was certain of victory.

Everything was under his control.

There was no need to move or even look. The loyal disciples and his subordinates from Battle God Palace, Broken Star Club, and Superstar Company were like an extension of his will. They moved in unison to meet him.

However, the roaring crystal engines of the new armored airships, which were supposed to slow down after they docked, did not weaken at all.

In fact, their front propellers and brakes were not activated either.

On the contrary, there was a very subtle and strange smell floating in the air.
It was some kind of combustion improver made of crystal powder that was extremely powerful. It exploded instantly and emitted the smell of a powerful force.

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his lips froze.

The new armored airships were now 80 meters away from the parking apron.

At this point, even the pilot could tell that something was wrong.

The two pilots waved the batons in their hands crazily and drew dazzling trajectories in the biting cold wind. They were trying to signal the other party to slow down and enter the port.

However, more than a dozen deafening explosions echoed from the rear of the new armored airships. Then, enormous light balls seemed to tear the void apart and descend to the human world. They jumped and expanded as much as they could as they provided the new armored airships with unparalleled driving force.

The speed of the new armored airships increased by 300% in half a second and continued to increase.

Since the airships had accelerated to the maximum in an instant, their shells and armor could not handle it. The airships emitted sounds of metal fatigue that resembled the roars of ferocious beasts.

The sound waves reached the ears of everyone on the tarmac and made them dumbfounded. Their faces turned ashen and froze for a moment.

They could only watch the new armored airships switch from being the secret envoys’ diplomatic starships to being aggressive assault ships. These vessels rush toward the parking lot in a thunderous manner.

However, Meng Chao snorted coldly and shook his head in puzzlement.

It was as if he could not understand them. Why did those clowns, who overestimated themselves, insist on such a ridiculous approach when the situation was already so clear?

His right hand was still behind his back.

Soon, he casually raised his left hand and flicked his fingers.

The new armored airship had just accelerated at the speed of sound, and it was only 20 to 30 meters away from the helipad.

If it was given another second… no, half a second, the steel behemoth, which was as big as a ten-thousand-ton destroyer, would have crashed into the top floor of Superstar Company’s headquarters. It left the magnificent building that symbolized Dragon City and even the Chaos faction’s highest authority on the verge of collapse.

However, Meng Chao just grabbed the air and created a wall that was both hard and soft. It was invisible, fluffy, and sturdy.

With that, the momentum of the new armored airship stopped abruptly.

It was like a wild horse with a bad temper. It was clearly angered by its enemy because it had just reached its maximum speed, only to step into the mud at the next second. No matter how hard it struggled, he could only sink deeper and deeper.

The clowns controlling the new armored airships were obviously not willing to be captured.

They were still accelerating madly and throwing in the combustion improvers without any regard for their lives. They abused the jet crystal engines of the new armored airships.

The crystal engines were like firecrackers that had been ignited. Cracking noises rang out one after another as they caught fire and even exploded. The tremendous driving force would shake an entire airship violently. Their shiny alloy armor began to tear apart and peel off. This revealed the crisscrossed spiritual energy tubes and the strengthened frames underneath.

In theory, the output power of this new armored airship was enough to easily defeat an Apocalyptic Beast in a contest of strength!

Meng Chao’s eyebrows and pinky finger did not even twitch.

His Void Grasp did not allow the new armored airship to move forward even half an inch.

It was as if an invisible Giant Spirit Palm had been formed around the other party, gradually compressing the space where the other party was shaking, forcing the wild horse to lower its proud head and turn its momentum from straight forward to spinning on the spot.

The roar of the new armored airship turned into a screech.

On the seemingly indestructible shell, an enormous handprint really appeared.

The burning crystal engines exploded one after another, causing them to gradually lose power. In the end, they could only obediently fall into Meng Chao’s control.

It was only then that the members of Battle God Palace, the Broken Star Club, and Superstar Company came to their senses. They looked at Meng Chao with both shame and respect.

They were ashamed because they had made an unforgivable mistake. For some reason, they allowed the enemy to get on the diplomatic ship that the secret envoy group was on, and they even used the diplomatic ship as a weapon. They had almost dealt Meng Chao and Superstar Company an immeasurable blow.

They were in awe of Meng Chao because, just like how it had happened countless times in the past, Meng Chao had once again turned the tide at the critical moment and stopped everything.

The disciples of the Battle God Palace and the members of the Broken Star Club all roared in rage.

In order to make up for it and to redeem themselves, they were surrounded by especially bright flames of war like eagles ignited by anger. They flew to the new armored airship that had been caught in the turbulence and could not move, trying to storm in and kill the enemy who controlled the diplomatic starship to rescue the members of the secret envoy.

However, Meng Chao’s eyes shone with a rare, sharp, and cold light.

The new armored airship was releasing chaotic spirit energy in the violent tremors and the explosion of the crystal engine had also produced a lot of smoke that blocked his vision.

Despite that, with his enhanced vision, he still clearly scanned what was happening inside the diplomatic starship through the flames of spiritual energy, the smoke, and the alloy shell of the armored airship.

The enemy had come prepared.

He had already expected his plan to fail and die.

Before they entered the hangar, the enemy had already killed most of the members of the secret envoy in the diplomatic ship.

Now, they had killed the few remaining hostages who were the most important.

This meant…

Meng Chao’s pupils constricted.

“Shaoyu, come back!” he shouted in a deep voice.

Yet, his voice did not sound loud.

However, almost a thousand meters in the air, the howling of the wind and the deafening sound waves raised by the explosion of the crystal engines were clearly heard by every disciple and grand-disciple who were soaring into the sky.

Even before the brains of his disciples and grand-disciples reacted, their central nerves had been affected, making them instinctively assume a retreating and defensive posture.
