"We're really going all out!"
Xu Zhenzhi shook his head and sighed.
"They must have used the Purple River Kingdom's internal star gates and kept tabs on our whereabouts the whole time. That's the only way they could have arrived with such perfect timing."
Liu Zhi smiled.
"Excellent. The more of them that come, the more it'll hurt when they turn around and run!"
Shi Zunhou rubbed his hands together eagerly.
And so, the chase resumed.
The difference was—
Five Star Destroyers were now tailing the Sky Peng Horizontal!
What's more, the group-wide speed boost abilities of these five Star Destroyers had their durations and Buffer Times arranged in a complete cycle.
This allowed them to remain in an accelerated state at all times.
Not only were they hot on the Sky Peng Horizontal's heels,
but one of the newly arrived Star Destroyers also had some kind of short-range burst acceleration ability.
Its duration was short,
but the boost to its speed was considerable.
Every time it was activated,
it brought them a little closer to the Sky Peng Horizontal!
After repeating this several times,
just as the six Star Destroyers were about to leave the Purple River Kingdom's territory,
the five pursuing Star Destroyers finally brought the Sky Peng Horizontal within firing range!
"High-energy reaction!"
Liu Zhi warned them.
"They're charging their Star Destroyer Cannons without even a word. That's reckless!"
Wang Guannan was startled.
In a high-speed pursuit like this,
the Star Destroyer Cannons' chances of hitting their target were obvious.
Charging one recklessly meant that if it missed, they would be handing over the initiative for the next stretch of the battle!
"They've got five Star Destroyers.
Using one to force us to dodge with its Star Destroyer Cannon, and thereby slow us down, is only natural."
