152: Solution

Instead, he unleashed his spiritual energy without reservation, frantically employing various complex defensive techniques.

In an instant, countless dense and varied barriers appeared out of thin air like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, stacking up layer upon layer in front of him, forming an impregnable fortress.

At first, the Annihilation Beam attacked with unstoppable force, easily penetrating barrier after barrier, like a sharp blade cutting through thin paper, completely unhindered.

However, as the beam continued to pierce through numerous barriers, and only a few remained, its forward speed noticeably slowed, and its light gradually dimmed.

Finally, after a fierce collision with the last barrier, the Annihilation Beam seemed to have exhausted all its strength, its energy completely gone, disappearing like dissipating smoke.

"Haha, Sect Master, I've figured it out!"

The Vice Sect Master laughed excitedly, his voice filled with the joy of surviving a catastrophe and the thrill of discovering a Solution (method of breaking through).

"Although this attack is indeed terrifying, we just need to use spiritual energy to counteract the beam's energy until it's completely depleted!"

Although the defensive techniques they employed still couldn't directly withstand the direct impact of the Annihilation Beam, they could deplete its energy.

Once the energy within the beam was completely gone, it naturally lost its terrifying annihilating effect.

With this hard-won Solution (method of breaking through), Xue Yue and the other two Yiqi Realm Experts exchanged knowing glances, an immediate understanding passing between their eyes.

The three of them unhesitatingly used their movement techniques, soaring like three gusts of wind towards one of the Imperial Fighter Jets that was frantically attacking.

Along the way, facing the beam attacks that hindered their advance like raindrops, they no longer showed any fear, instead mobilizing the vast spiritual energy within their bodies to fully resist and deplete them.

With the concerted efforts of the three, Xue Yue finally successfully approached the Imperial Fighter Jet.

"Go to hell!"

Xue Yue roared, raising his longsword high. The sword body glowed brightly with spiritual energy, and accompanied by a huge energy fluctuation like a surging wave, he slashed fiercely towards the Imperial Fighter Jet.

"Activate the shield!"

Inside the Imperial Fighter Jet, the pilot, sensing a fatal threat, hastily operated the system.

Instantly, a barrier emitting a faint blue light rapidly enveloped the Imperial Fighter Jet like a protective film.

Xue Yue's full-force sword strike heavily impacted the barrier, instantly causing a violent fluctuation, light overflowing, and energy wildly surging.

Immediately after, a deafening roar sounded, and the huge explosion generated an airwave that spread wildly in all directions, like a surging tsunami, churning the surrounding air into chaos.

"Sect Master!"

The other two Yiqi Realm Experts couldn't help but show surprise at this sight, anxiously calling out.

However, just as their voices fell, a figure appeared beside them like a ghost.

It was Xue Yue, his face composed, as he spoke to his two companions.

"Don't worry, this small explosion can't threaten me."

On the other side, the attacked Imperial Fighter Jet was also in a sorry state.

"Warning! Warning! Aircraft damage reached 40%!"

Inside the fighter jet, sharp alarm sounds rose and fell.

Although Xue Yue's attack failed to completely shoot down this Imperial Fighter Jet, the severely damaged fighter, coupled with the large amount of energy consumed by firing Annihilation Beams earlier, and the energy loss from resisting Xue Yue's attack just now, meant that the fighter's internal energy reserves were now critical, with indicator lights flashing continuously, issuing a warning signal of imminent depletion.

Under these circumstances, it could no longer continue to fight.

Seeing this, the pilot knew that staying any longer would only lead to death, so he hastily maneuvered the fighter, turned its direction, and rapidly returned towards the starship.

However, on this battlefield, it was merely one Imperial Fighter Jet temporarily losing its combat capability and reluctantly withdrawing from the battlefield.

It must be known that the entire Imperial Fighter Jet squadron Li Yang gave to Su Xia consisted of a full 15 planetary-level fighter jets, and adding Su Xia's own, there were a total of over thirty planetary-level fighter jets traversing and wreaking havoc in this airspace.

Such a massive aerial force, losing the combat power of a mere single fighter jet, seemed truly insignificant to the overall battle.

"As expected of the top experts of a second-level civilization, a xuanhuan civilization. The Imperial planetary-level fighter jets are indeed somewhat powerless against them..."

A Zhi's gaze was fixed on the battlefield situation. After witnessing the clash between Xue Yue and the Imperial Fighter Jet, he couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh of admiration.

However, upon closer thought, the disparity was quite reasonable.

It should be known that the Imperial planetary-level fighter jets correspond to the standard of second-level civilization products, while super-star-level fighter jets are even more powerful third-level civilization products.

In comparison, for this second-level civilization to possess such strength was already quite remarkable.

After all, the Imperial planetary-level fighter jets, within the entire realm of second-level civilizations, could be considered to stand at the pinnacle, representing the ultimate in second-level civilization aircraft manufacturing technology and combat capability.

"Su Xia, given the current situation, do you need me to send down my fighter jets as reinforcements?"

A Zhi frowned slightly, turning to look at Su Xia, his eyes revealing concern and inquiry.

"No need."

Su Xia gently waved her hand, her tone carrying a hint of calm confidence.

"If it weren't for wanting to preserve the orbs (precious items) within them as intact as possible, I would have directly used the main cannons to blast them into powder."

Su Xia declined A Zhi's kind offer, already having her own plans in mind.

She intended to first rely on the power of the Imperial Fighter Jets to concentrate fire and eliminate one Yiqi Realm Expert, thereby further demoralizing the enemy and gaining control of the battlefield.

Of course, in addition to this seemingly direct goal, Su Xia had even more far-reaching considerations.

In this intricate game of various forces, she absolutely could not display a completely crushing posture.

She knew very well in her heart that if she appeared too strong, the Evil Path would inevitably become suspicious.

They would definitely think, 'You possess such powerful strength, yet you still want to unite with us to deal with the Righteous Path? What about after the Righteous Path is eliminated? Will it be our turn next?'

In this way, the delicate cooperative relationship with the Evil Path, which had been so difficult to establish, would instantly crumble.

Therefore, only demonstrating the current strength was enough. Only in this way could she cleverly utilize the Evil Path Sects, making them willingly serve her.

However, although she had her own considerations regarding the strategy for dealing with enemy experts, Su Xia also noticed that the battle on the Imperial Soldiers' side was indeed in a difficult situation and desperately needed support.

After all, including the Imitation Imperial Soldiers she brought herself, her side barely amounted to about ten thousand, while the Fenghua Sect's disciples on the opposite side swarmed in like a tide, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

Coupled with the fact that most of the Gene-Modified Warriors were killed by Xue Yue's attack, leading to a huge disparity in military strength, the Imperial Soldiers were gradually becoming overwhelmed under such immense pressure.
