After one Yan Huang Mech was scrapped, the battle began to turn against the Chinese side once more.
At that moment, Su Jiu gave the order. "Mei, Drawing Thunder Strike."
Mei received the command and began using Drawing Thunder Strike from the rear of the battlefield.
An overwhelming aura began to surge from Mei as she slowly drew Thunder Cutter with both hands.
Dark clouds filled the sky, and countless bolts of lightning churned within the sea of clouds, accompanied by faint, indistinct roars.
Watching the storm clouds blanket the battlefield from afar, Baili Shouyue said, "Good lord. With Dragon Bro and Mei working together, the Taotie are in for a real headache."
Zhao Yun also looked up at the sky and said to Baili Shouyue, "Take a seat. We can rest for a while now. The Taotie are in for it."
Drawing Thunder Strike: First Heaven
Countless thin White Lightning bolts descended from the sky. The Taotie Warriors were still fighting when bolt after bolt struck them down. In an instant, one-tenth of the Taotie Warriors on the battlefield were gone.
Drawing Thunder Strike: Second Heaven
The dark clouds grew ever blacker. The sky, which had still been visible moments ago, was now dim and gray. Lightning struck again, and countless currents coursed among the Taotie Warriors, killing batch after batch of them.
Blue lightning flickered in Mei's eyes, as though she could see through everyone on the battlefield.
Drawing Thunder Strike: Third Heaven
The lightning in the sky grew denser and denser, as though an entire Thunder Sea had gathered above.
Three thunderclaps rang through the heavens as three arm-thick bolts of lightning struck the Taotie Battleships.
The Taotie Battleships first sparked, then exploded three times. Half the battleships on the battlefield were gone.
Just as Mei was about to continue using Drawing Thunder Strike, the Taotie Warriors began retreating.
The soldiers and Blue Sword Members below watched the Taotie Warriors withdraw and shouted in unison, "We won! We won!"
Mei stopped Drawing Thunder Strike. Sky Dragon poked its head out from the clouds and opened its mouth, where specks of yellow light began gathering. A beam of yellow light shot straight at a retreating Taotie Battleship.
That Taotie Battleship exploded instantly. Sky Dragon wanted to continue attacking, but the Taotie Warriors immediately sped up their escape. With no other choice, Sky Dragon let out two howls and flew back into the clouds.
Su Jiu walked up to Mei and said, "Not bad. If those Taotie Warriors hadn't run, quite a few of them would have fallen here."
Zhao Yun ran over and asked, "Captain, why haven't we seen Rui, Liu Chuang, or Kiana?"
Su Jiu said, "Something happened in Juxia City, so I sent them over to help."
Baili Shouyue ran over and asked, "Should we go too?"
Su Jiu waved a hand. "No need. A flagship went to Juxia City as well. I sent them there to assist. They should be fighting by now."
Inside Juxia City, countless Taotie Warriors slaughtered and rampaged through the streets. The plan had originally been to fight in the Defense Zone fifty li outside Juxia City, but the Taotie had sent a flagship. The moment it arrived, it fired two shots from its Flagship Main Gun and tore through the defensive line.
The battleships then flew straight in and began wreaking havoc inside Juxia City. The combat robots that were deployed could only keep attacking outside the Taotie Warriors' battleships, wearing down their Energy Shields.
Leina truly deserved her status as a god. She immediately came up with a solution and sent Qiangwei to open wormholes, bypassing the Energy Shields and sending combat robots inside to fight. The Taotie Warriors could no longer hide away and were forced to come out and fight.
There was still no way to deal with the Taotie flagship. If anyone approached it, they would face an overwhelming attack from the Taotie Warriors.
In the city, Zhao Xin wielded Blue Lightning with tremendous force. Combined with his speed, he would occasionally skewer several Taotie Warriors at once.
He Weilan stood in the middle of the street, fighting Taotie Warriors with her iron fists. Every so often, a Taotie Warrior would be sent flying with its head smashed off.
The combat robots and Taotie Warriors were locked in battle.
On the Taotie flagship, Feng Lei ordered, "Initiate god-slaying operations. Targets: the red-armored commander and those black-armored Super Soldiers."
Why had there been no god-slaying operation in Tianhe City? Heh, everyone who fought there had been ordinary people. With Baili Shouyue under Zhao Yun's protection, a god-slaying operation had been impossible. Su Jiu had calculated everything long ago, especially with Baili Shouyue's sniping skills.
While Cheng Yaowen was still tangled up with a squad of Taotie Warriors, a bullet struck him and knocked him down.
Over the communication channel, Zhao Xin shouted, "Cheng Yaowen's been hit! Cheng Yaowen's been hit!"
Leina immediately ordered, "Xiaolun, evacuate Cheng Yaowen."
Ge Xiaolun flung away the Taotie Warrior in midair and flew toward Cheng Yaowen's location.
After Ge Xiaolun delivered Cheng Yaowen to the evacuation point, a Yan Huang Mech landed. Three people stepped down from it: Rui, Liu Chuang, and Kiana.
Kiana patted Ge Xiaolun on the shoulder and said, "Stunned silly? This is a Yan Huang Mech."
Indeed, Ge Xiaolun was staring blankly at the Yan Huang Mech. He had never seen technology like this aboard the Juxia Aircraft Carrier.
At that moment, a military vehicle pulled up, and a human and a wolf stepped out.
One had purple hair, while the other had a scar across his face.
Rui saw Heya and said, "Heya, why are you here? It's dangerous."
Kiana looked at Grey Wolf as well and said, "Sister Heya, Mr. Grey Wolf, does the captain know you joined the battle? If anything happens to you, the captain will be heartbroken."
Heya said, "It's fine. We equipped Nano Cores on the way here."
Liu Chuang rested his axe on his shoulder and said, "If you two great scientists dared to join the battle, wouldn't you have some secret weapons?"
"Hehe, Mr. Liu Chuang really understands this king. Look at the sky." Grey Wolf pointed at a sphere in the air.
Liu Chuang exclaimed, "Damn, you even brought the flying sphere? How many Annihilation Bombs did you bring?"
Grey Wolf said smugly, "We only made around two hundred Annihilation Bombs. I brought every last one."
Liu Chuang said, "That's good, then. Get ready to fight."
Streams of light appeared around Rui, Heya, and Grey Wolf. Three Nano Core Armors covered the two humans and the wolf as they charged into the battle zone ahead.
Liu Chuang and Kiana had already equipped themselves. Ge Xiaolun stared blankly at the few who had rushed into the battlefield, then came to his senses and charged in after them.
The three Nano Core Armors each drew slender Energy Swords in both hands and continuously slaughtered Taotie Warriors.
A sniper tried to target the three Nano Core Armors that had just appeared below, but before he could fire, Kiana, who had just arrived, shot him dead.
When the members of Xiong Bing Company on the battlefield saw reinforcements joining the fight, they did not question it and immediately coordinated with them.
He Weilan was locked in a bitter battle when an axe came flying over and cleaved a Taotie Warrior to death. Then a black shadow darted about, and Taotie Warriors fell one after another. Their heads were either flattened or their chests caved in.
A pair of enormous wings spread open in the sky, then shot fiercely toward the Taotie Warriors overhead.
Kiana's wings unfolded behind her. The pistol in her hand seemed to have endless ammunition as she shot down countless Taotie Warriors from the sky, clearing a two-hundred-meter empty zone around herself.
On the ground, Rui spun and slashed, killing a Taotie Warrior. Then he saw several squads of Taotie Warriors charging toward him.
Rui did not flinch. He drew his blade and charged forward. One Taotie Warrior after another formed an encirclement, intending to surround and kill him, but with one slash from Rui, a Taotie Warrior's head flew off.
Seeing this, the other Taotie Warriors swarmed him. Rui swung his blade rapidly as countless Taotie Warriors attacked him as though they feared death.
