Looking at the missile trajectory map sent by Old Tang, the entire map was covered with dozens of intersecting and chaotic routes drawn by countless missiles.
The large and small dots on the map represent the missiles' current locations, and these dots are constantly updating their positions as the map refreshes. At this speed, they shouldn't have to wait long to reach their current location.
After a quick glance, Li Xingkong first threw out the Chasing Lightning Sword. The sword flashed with white light and flew towards a direction with many missiles. Then, Li Xingkong himself got up and flew off to the other side.
Multitasking is a fairly basic ability for Li Xingkong at his current level. On one hand, he can use Hexagram to assist him in handling many details. On the other hand, Li Xingkong only needs to have one thought and make one decision.
The flying sword reached its maximum speed first, and a deafening sword cry rang out. As the sword passed, a large area of space behind it was cleaved into a vacuum.
In just a few breaths, the flying sword encountered the first wave of incoming missiles. With a thought, Li Xingkong immediately formed a thin arc of light on the sword's blade. The arc of light then expanded with the wind and quickly transformed into a crescent-shaped sword light tens of meters long, which attached itself to the flying sword and slashed towards the oncoming missiles.
The contact between the two sides lasted only a moment, so short that even the high-speed camera could only capture a rough outline. After a brief encounter, the flying sword headed towards the location of another missile.
The missile, which had crossed paths with the flying sword, continued to fly. However, after flying for a few more seconds, the missile split in two. Then, with a few flashes of electricity, the missile slowly lost power and plunged into the sea below.
The sword's light was so sharp that it didn't even trigger an explosion after slicing through the missile.
While Flying Sword was busy cutting down missiles one by one, Li Xingkong himself was not idle either.
After leaving the flying sword, Li Xingkong's speed inevitably decreased significantly, but it was still faster than a missile.
Moreover, compared to the point-to-point interception of flying swords, Li Xingkong clearly has a better way to intercept.
He is now in the Mid Foundation Establishment, and his Divine Sense can extend for over a thousand miles. When he spreads his Divine Sense forward in a fan shape, he can use his Divine Sense to control any missile that appears within a few thousand miles directly in front of him.
Directly using Divine Sense to clash head-on with missiles is clearly not a good approach; it's time-consuming, laborious, and not very effective.
Li Xingkong's approach was simpler: the missile could fly so far mainly because it had its own propulsion system.
Once the missile is under Li Xingkong's Divine Sense, Li Xingkong can manipulate his Divine Sense to destroy the missile's engine, causing it to lose power and be unable to continue its advance.
Li Xingkong's Divine Sense covered a wide area. After selecting a relatively forward position, as long as a missile entered his Divine Sense range, he would directly destroy the engine and throw it into the sea in one go.
While Li Xingkong was intercepting the various missiles, on the space carrier, many people in the conference room were watching the large screen hanging in front of them.
The entire screen displays the monitoring of all incoming missiles and their predicted trajectories.
The sheer number of missiles was so great that the entire screen was filled with dotted lines marking their routes, almost obscuring the map.
Just as everyone was watching the map with high tension, they were surprised to find that the missile routes marked on the map had decreased significantly, and many of the bright spots on the map had also disappeared when the map was refreshed next time.
This is undoubtedly good news; the disappearance of the missile trajectory indicates that Li Xingkong's operation has begun.
With each map refresh, several points of light disappear without a trace. On this map, they even roughly deduced Li Xingkong's current movement trajectory by observing the locations where the missiles disappeared.
However, the calculated trajectory was indeed too outrageous, leaving everyone present at a loss for words.
The trajectory is divided into two paths. One path can be described as moving like a dragon with a gun. The way this path takes down missiles is simple and brutal. It is a straight line that cuts through the incoming missiles from the front, passing through all the missile arrays, and then turns back, still moving in one straight line. Wherever it passes, missiles are shot down.
Just by looking at this simple map, one can almost glimpse the bravery of Zhao Zilong, who charged in and out of enemy lines seven times.
On the other side, it was as if a black hole had formed. All the missiles that were close to the surrounding area disappeared after a few flashes, as if they had been swallowed up by the black hole.
The black hole is also very large; basically, any missile that wants to attack the mainland will have to go through its range.
It was like an invisible behemoth with its jaws wide open, swallowing up all the incoming missiles without letting a single one escape.
In just three to five minutes, all the missile attack markers on the map were wiped out, not a single one was missed.
Although the missiles were intercepted, the conference room remained eerily quiet; not a single person uttered a word.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and asked.
" Old Tang, has Li Xingkong told you what level his cultivation has reached?"
Everyone else turned around, wanting to hear what was going on.
There was no other way; in their eyes, Li Xingkong's current strength meant he was practically unmatched on the entire Earth Star.
He had previously cleaved half of Cherry Blossom Country Island in two with a single sword strike. While they were shocked by his high attack power, it was actually within their expectations. After all, in the real world, high attack power is not a big deal. Humanity had already developed nuclear weapons before even leaving Earth Star, so this was nothing special.
But the fact that Li Xingkong intercepted all the missiles so easily this time is quite terrifying.
This means that his defensive capabilities have far exceeded people's imagination. In fact, if Li Xingkong's cultivation goes wrong or he tries to cause trouble, they will have no way to deal with it.
Modern firepower is powerful, but it still needs to be able to hit people.
"He's still in the Foundation Establishment Stage; he told me that after he came out of seclusion last time."
Old Tang breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Li Xingkong's character quite well; at least as long as there was no conflict of interest, he would definitely stand with Divine Land. With the missile crisis resolved, he could finally relax.
" Foundation Establishment Stage strength... is it already this powerful?"
The person who asked the question got the information he wanted, but he felt no sense of relief.
He's only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, yet he can dominate the entire Earth Star. If his cultivation were any higher, how could Earth Star, such a small place, possibly control such a person?
