Chapter 255 Unyielding
"Lin Yun, the power of a nation is beyond your imagination. You have killed so many people, your crimes are unforgivable. Now, surrender! You must have obtained alien technology, right? Any alien technology that appears within Huaxia's borders belongs to the nation. It should have been used for the benefit of our people, but you used it for your own purposes.
This is a serious crime. If you cooperate and surrender this technology, the country could consider reducing your punishment." A hoarse, elderly voice echoed from the flying vehicle in a flat tone.
"Heh, so you mean if this alien technology appeared in America, it would belong to America, or if in Russia, it would belong to Russia?" Lin Yun sneered coldly.
"I won't indulge in your glib tongue. You are a citizen of Huaxia. Even if you obtained these technologies in other countries, it's your duty to hand them over to Huaxia. These pieces of technology can't be in the hands of civilians. The chaos that you've caused proves this point!" The leading elder's brow furrowed as he spoke.
"Heh, me created this chaos? I am a citizen of Huaxia and have obligations? Did you really regard me as a Huaxia citizen? Those powerful conglomerate scions forced me to relinquish my shares, they used official power against my company, and unscrupulously massacred my employees. Is this the attitude of the nation's upper echelons towards its citizens?
This chaos was not created by me but by you!" Lin Yun said with a bitter smile.
"So, you are unwilling to surrender and hand over the technology?" The old man squinted at Lin Yun, his question was sharp.
"You are all from the Sky Group?" Lin Yun glanced at Taiyi, who was standing behind the elder, and asked suddenly.
"Indeed, the Sky Group is Huaxia's top protecting force. We might sometimes be a bit too rash or even lacking in compassion in our actions, but rest assured, we always act for the greater good. Every Sky Group member is deserving of respect. This is why we were outraged when you killed one of our members!" Continue your journey on empire
"Lin Yun, your martial arts talent is commendable, and you have substantial strength. The nation might have been too drastic and unfair in its actions against you. If you decide to surrender, we might consider admitting you into the Sky Group, making us your backup..."
"By the way, Huaxia has also obtained alien technology, some of which is beneficial to martial arts practices. If you join the Sky Group, you will be able to use them. With your talent, reaching the Innate Realm should be easy, perhaps you might even reach the legendary realm of the Golden Core where martial arts ruptures the void...
"An elder next to the leader suddenly spoke.
Initially, it was threats. Now it was bribery.
"I said before, if I don't die, I'll destroy the Sky Group..." Lin Yun replied coldly.
Considering how these people treated him previously, he didn't trust their words. Even if everything they said was true, what did it matter? Who would address the grievances of those who died at the Qingyun Hotel?
Besides, did Sky Group always make decisions for the greater good?
Who could guarantee that one day they wouldn't sacrifice him for the greater good?
Compared to these people, he trusted himself much more!
"You -"
The leader's face turned ashen in an instant upon hearing Lin Yun's words.
"I do not wish to make an enemy out of Huaxia, but you leave me no choice. Since the martial arts conference, I've been in conflict with the Sky Group. If you don't want to die, stop threatening me. Either disband the Sky Group or leave it. Otherwise, I will make good on my word and destroy the Sky Group!" Lin Yun said indifferently.
Whoosh-
As soon as the words fell from his lips, a large, grand, and very futuristic flying vehicle suddenly appeared where Lin Yun's vehicle was located. The next moment, it sped off in another direction.
He didn't let the robot with the power of a late-Innate Realm martial artist engage with these people because Lin Yun knew their strength. He didn't want the robot to get wrecked.
He also refrained from ordering the flying vehicle to attack these people as he decided to give them another chance.
Perhaps, the words of one man sparked this idea - act for the greater good. Whether it was true or false, he decided to give them a chance for the sake of the greater good.
"Another flying vehicle?"
"This flying vehicle looks even better!"
"Could it be a level four civilizational flying vehicle?"
Watching this unfold, the elders' faces drastically changed.
"Attack!"
"Don't let him escape!"
Two elders immediately snapped.
"Wait..."
One of the elders hesitated.
"Shuu- Shuu- Shuu-"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, some had already started. Hundreds of energy beams were fired at Lin Yun's flying vehicle. Because Lin Yun's new vehicle seemed more powerful, their attacks were stronger.
They no longer feared the possibility of destroying the vehicle and Lin Yun simultaneously.
"Hmph! This is a chance for you and you refuse?" After witnessing this, Lin Yun snorted and spoke coldly.
"Chh! Chh! Chh!"
In the next moment, he took his own car airborne and launched an attack on the vehicle behind. An enormous attack network targeted the vehicle from all angles with no mercy.
"Hmm——"
Meanwhile, both Lin Yun's car and the opposing vehicle deployed a layer of protective shields.
The speed of these energy attacks was swift. Some of them quickly landed on both parties' shields, being neutralized promptly.
At the early stage of the development of thermal weapons on earth, there was an era of lined-up shootings.
During the maritime age, there was a combat style of mutually attacking.
In the interstellar age, as energy technology was yet underdeveloped, a similar phenomenon, called energy duel, was noted.
You'd hit me once, and I'd counterattack. It was largely about who had stronger defense, who launched more powerful attacks, and who possessed more energy. Essentially, most battlefields were as cruel as this, nothing fancy – killing a thousand enemies might mean losing eight hundred of your own.
Of course, you could avoid the enemy's attack, but that usually happened at later stages. At the beginning, the sluggish operation of all sorts of airborne vehicles and various flight loopholes, in conjunction with the quickness of energy attacks, made evasion extremely challenging.
Just like the old guns, you could only anticipate and pray that the enemy would miss. When the enemy really took aim at you, your speed was often no match for that of the gun.
Latterly, the performance of airborne vehicles was improved, and assorted maneuvering techniques started to come into vogue.
Both the car and the spacecraft used by Lin Yun and the Sky Group were level-four technological civilization vehicles. They were quite advanced in terms of various features and could dodge some attacks.
Nonetheless, they mainly engaged in this form of duel.
Seeing that the opponent's attack did not lower the strength of his shield very much, Lin Yun heaved a sigh of relief.
Since the opponent could not break his shield in one go and was far from doing so, this would be a game of energy expenditure—something he was not afraid of.
He had nearly 40,000 Spirit Crystals, which were sufficient for him to purchase a lot of energy from the Cosmic Trading System.
As for his opponent, he highly doubted the amount of energy they had brought along, and whether they were willing to engage in such a duel.
Through the monitoring device of his car, Lin Yun looked at the opponent's spacecraft.
"Hmm?"
In the next moment, Lin Yun frowned slightly.
It was evident that the opponent's spacecraft was inferior to his car in terms of both attack and defense. This normally would be good news, but he noticed something else. The spacecraft's shield was fused with the Qi defensive shield of those innate experts.
Those innate experts could tap into the energy of the heavens and the earth for endless Qi, which might sound exaggerated, but defending in such a manner was not going to make it easy for him to outdo them in terms of energy.
Even if he did, he would probably have very few Spirit Crystals left.
It's important to understand that this would consume a great deal of energy; every wave of his attack required the energy of dozens, up to a hundred, of Spirit Crystals.
The Qi of the martial artists was fused with the energy shield; when Lin Yun searched the Cosmic Trading System, he found that this was not uncommon—it was just one of the signs of a powerful combination of a martial artist and high-grade technology.
Beyond that...
The Qi of the martial artists could also be fused with the attacking energy!
Upon seeing this information, Lin Yun's expression changed greatly.
Qi... was a special kind of energy that was difficult to block with a shield!
If the Qi of a martial artist were combined with attacking energy, when he launched an attack...
"Let's go!"
In the very next moment, with no hesitation, Lin Yun instantly started to pilot his vehicle to leave this place.
However, at that very moment, about ten energy attacks landed on the protective shield of Lin Yun's vehicle once again.
What do you think?
