Under the watchful eyes of the public, Kendal Chenxing naturally couldn't refuse.
The ghost light flickered on his brow, and his flagship [Silver Eagle] was summoned. After quickly boarding the warship, he tailed the projection of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.
Besides the two involved, thousands of Torch warships also skimmed out of the starport, heading in the direction of where the Zhulu warships had disappeared.
This was a battle between the legitimate successors of the two greatest powers of the Duchy, a fight that every Torch Ship Captain in the entire Chenxing Principality dreamt of witnessing with their own eyes.
At the same time, from several private lounges at the very center of the starport, conversations were emerging.
"Otto, what's your take? If I remember correctly, that young Kendal is your direct descendant, isn't he?"
"Don't tease me. Without fully understanding the opponent, to rush into the fray so eagerly and expose oneself, sigh... better left unsaid!"
"But really, it's just a projection. It might not necessarily suppress your boy."
Millions of miles away from the starport in space, two Zhulu warships—the virtual and the real—faced each other across the void.
Song Chi remained calm, revealing no unusual emotions. It was Kendal Eagle across from him who thought he had lost a great deal of face and still had an extremely somber expression.
Not wanting to drag things out, knowing that today wouldn't end well, he was the first to initiate an attack.
The super main cannon in the bow of his ship quickly gathered brilliance. This red-quality super main cannon was one of his proudest components. With this move, he aimed to crush the projection of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong in the shortest time possible.
In the final two seconds of the super main cannon's charging, another domain control component within the [Silver Eagle] was also activated. This component was also of red quality, named [No-Fly Domain Device], and one of the only two red-quality components on the [Silver Eagle].
Activating all of his warship's red-quality components at the first opportunity showed the resolve of Kendal Eagle.
The next second, a powerful beam shot from the red super main cannon, aiming straight for the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong projection, now caught in the no-fly domain.
Thousands of miles away, Torch Ship Captains watching the battle through various remote observation methods had questions flashing in their eyes.
"Direct hit? Wasn't this supposed to be a close-fought battle of warship bombardment? How could it end so quickly?"
"This Lord Song Qi seems somewhat overrated!"
"Are you guys blind? Didn't you see that Lord Song Chi's projection weakened the combat power by a significant percentage!"
"Tsk tsk, no amount of spin will help, a noob is a noob."
Contrary to the optimistic view of the numerous Torch Ship Captains thousands of miles away, Kendal Eagle himself had a serious expression.
This was too easy, far too easy, and it did not match the feats of Song Chi that he had heard about.
All of these events unfolded in the blink of an eye. When he realized that the attack feature of his super main cannon had only passed through an afterimage and the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong projection had already appeared beside the [Silver Eagle], it was too late.
A Sword Light Phantasm of tens of thousands of meters in length was already emerging from the previously uncharged main cannon.
It was the attack feature of the "True Immortal Quantum Sword Light" from the [Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Cannon Platform].
The reason Song Chi didn't activate the "Arrow of Annihilation of Living Beings" attack feature of the [Bow of the Annihilation of All Spirits] was because he knew if he triggered this ultimate feature of the super main cannon, even if the opponent had activated the warship armor's defence feature first, he would definitely not survive.
Annihilation of life was no trifling matter.
Kendal Eagle didn't have the luxury to ponder the issue of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong's charging time, as the extreme threat of death made all the hairs on his body stand on end. Almost subconsciously, he instantly activated the defense feature of the warship Lv59 orange-quality warship armor. After that, he thought about activating an Escaping Space Component.
But in that moment, his thoughts froze. By the time he gathered himself, the terrifying Sword Light Phantasm had already pierced tens of thousands of meters and landed atop the [Silver Eagle].
It was only because he had pre-emptively activated the warship armor's defence feature that the ship wasn't sliced in two by this strike.
Even with the enhanced-to-the-limit orange-quality warship armor's defense feature, the True Immortal Quantum Sword Light, after breaking through the energy shield, still cut through the outer layer of the warship's armor.
[Warning, warship under attack, energy shield overloaded, warship armor damaged 24%, hull damage 2%, please repair immediately.]
[Warning... warship armor damaged 40%, hull damage 12%, please repair as soon as possible.]
[Warning... warship armor damaged 70%, hull damage 40%, please repair as soon as possible.]
With every passing moment, the damage to the [Silver Eagle]'s warship armor and hull soared, and even though Kendal Eagle promptly activated a purple repair component, it was not enough to fully remove the threat of sinking.
Finally, the hull's damage level skyrocketed to 74%; just 6% more and the warship would completely lose its ability to move.
At this time, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong had already transformed into its Mythical Mecha Form, with the Mech Giant holding a red longsword in its hand.
A great amount of the Power of Laws was swirling around the Mech's legs, allowing each step to cover tens of thousands of miles. In just two or three steps, the Mech Giant had already reached the nearly immobilized [Silver Eagle].
