Chapter 1245 Fight For Their Lives!

“I looked everywhere for you but in the end, you came to me.” Lord Jindao spoke to Ling Lan in a broken Federation language.

Ling Lan frowned. As expected, her opponent’s target was her.

“Oh? I don’t know you. Why are you looking for me?” Ling Lan pretended that she was oblivious about the whole situation.

Lord Jindao didn’t reply to her. He immediately aimed his beam gun at her and shot her.

Ling Lan was already on her guard, so when Lord Jindao attacked her, she instantly shifted her mecha to the side. Fortunately, her mecha was a modified imperial mecha made by Chang Xinyuan. Although it couldn’t be compared to a god-class mecha, it was the best among all the imperial mechas. Luckily, Lord Jindao was just testing the water with his first attack so Ling Lan managed to evade it precariously.

“Not bad,” Lord Jindao commended.

Even in a large nation like the Federation, outstanding talents couldn’t be found so easily. Lord Jindao couldn’t help but feel envious of the Federation to have a monster like Ling Xiao and Ling Lan. Because of Ling Xiao killing their youngest god-class mecha operator, the succession of god-class operators in Twilight had been disrupted. He didn’t know when the next god-class operator would appear.

The envious feeling only lasted for a few seconds as his gaze swiftly turned malicious. As long as their plan worked, the Twilight Empire would grow from their ashes of their past glory and rise in status. It would no longer be a middle-class nation. They would become a top-class nation like Caesar and Huaxia.

Lord Jindao grabbed the handle of his beam sword and activated it. A long beam was ejected from the handle. Lord Jindao slashed the beam sword in front of him.

“The energy of his beam sword is too strong. My beam sword will be destroyed if I parry it. Evade!” Ling Lan quickly analysed the situation and arrived at a conclusion. She could only evade the beam sword.

Her Profound Insight was very helpful in such situations. It hinted at the best route to evade the moment Lord Jindao slashed his sword. However, the speed of an imperial mecha was much slower than a god-class mecha. Even if Ling Lan moved her mecha instantly, she wouldn’t be able to retreat out of the affective range of the light beam. Her mecha would still get hit by the residual force of the attack.

Ling Lan felt that the residual force was enough to damage her body and mecha heavily.

Although there was only a difference of one level between her and her opponent, but in reality, the difference between the two levels was as vast as an ocean. Luck wouldn’t be able to help her this time.

Pop! Pop! Popping sounds started to come out of the engine. This meant that the engine was overloaded. Ling Lan was someone who wouldn’t give up even if there was no hope. She would give it her all and try to find any chance of survival.

Bang! A white ray pierced through the dark space. It was aimed at Lord Jindao’s right arm.

“Cheap tricks.” Lord Jindao sneered. He activated his Divine Shield system and continued to slash his sword down.

Before the white ray could reach the mecha, a colorful rainbow sheen appeared in front and seemingly devoured the white ray whole.

The beam sword slashed at Ling Lan.

“Huh?” Lord Jindao thought that his attack was successful but instead, he stuck the air.

He gasped in surprise.

He recalled what happened just now and was enlightened. “So that’s what happened.”

He looked at Li Lanfeng who was sniping in a faraway location. He turned serious. “There are more talents in the Federation than I expected, but just a talented long-range sniper won’t stop me. He shot just to activate my Divine Shield system. When the Divine Shield system was activated, energy used had a low probability to cause my arm to slow down a little. The chance of that happening is so miniscule but he still took the bet. How lucky.”

Lord Jindao retracted his gaze slowly. He turned and looked at Ling Lan who was already a kilometer away from him. He didn’t dare to underestimate these imperial operators anymore.

Li Lanfeng’s attack caught him off guard by surprise and slowed his speed a little but even so, Ling Lan shouldn’t be able to evade his sword at all. Yet, she did it. This was most likely due to her frightening reaction speed and hand speed. Without any doubt, Ling Lan’s hand speed was close to that of a god-class operator. If she was given the time to grow, she might become the next god-class operator of the Federation.

“That Immortal Bird is so irritating. He’s already very powerful but his son is catching up with him. What an unfair world. Why is the Ling family so lucky?” Lord Jindao’s jealousy towards Ling Xiao got even stronger. At first, he was killing Ling Lan just because he was obligated to. However, his desire to kill Ling Lan was overwhelming now. He knew that Ling Xiao’s son was only 24 years old. He had a bright future ahead of him. If he was given enough time, he would most definitely become a god-class operator.

Twilight would never allow the Federation to gain another god-class operator. Lord Jindao decided that he would kill Ling Xiao’s son today no matter what.

Lord Jindao raised his beam sword. Even if Ling Lan was a kilometer away from him, she still felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. This feeling was even stronger than the time when a bunch of domain realm masters attempted to assassinate her. Her heart was filled with dread. This strong negative emotion caused Ling Lan to waver. She bit her lips and used the pain to calm herself down. Despite her quick recovery, her clothes were already drenched with cold sweat.

It was fortunate that Ling Lan was experienced in life-or-death situations. These experiences allowed her to remain calm under the oppression of a god-class operator. An inexperienced person might have lost all hope and give up retaliating by now.

Even Li Lanfeng, who was a few kilometers away, felt the oppressive force of presence from Lord Jindao. He shivered and his limbs turned cold. Cold sweat formed on his forehead.

Smack!

Li Lanfeng slapped himself on his cheek. He used so much force that his cheek turned swollen. He even hurt his gum. Blood dripped down the side of his mouth.

“You lack a beating,” Li Lanfeng mocked himself. The pain from the slap allowed him to break free from Lord Jindao’s force of presence temporarily. He controlled his mecha again and aimed his beam gun at Lord Jindao.

Li Lanfeng knew that the next attack would be the most dangerous moment for Ling Lan. If Ling Lan couldn’t evade it, she would be killed.

It was time to fight for their lives.
