A Race Against Time

For those three Spirit Transformation experts, even Barrett capable of eliminating Golden Core True Person would be like a tickle to them, let alone Gatling.

Moreover, the Spirit Transformation stage expert's formation is different from the Blood Asura Gate's grand formation. That grand formation spans several miles, and because of its enormous size, even though Yi Xuan had previously ordered the entire army to concentrate their fire, the mechanical army's firepower was almost entirely used up, hitting the formation nearly all of it.

Compared to a grand formation, a Nascent Spirit Transformation expert is like a football versus a football field.

Even though Yi Xuan's weapon system has a very powerful aiming function, under concentrated fire, very few bullets can actually hit the enemy.

Because of the extremely high density of bullets, many of them lost their momentum due to collisions with the three Spirit Transformation masters.

Fortunately, Yi Xuan's mechanical army was large enough that even if only one percent of the bullets hit a few people, it would be enough to keep them busy.

So what if the force is like a tickle? Even tickling too much will eventually break the skin, won't it?

Furthermore, Yi Xuan never placed his hopes on the concentrated fire of the mechanical army.

His purpose was merely to stall for time, since the DF Express was launched from No. 2 Base, and even at its fastest speed, it couldn't achieve an instantaneous strike.

On the other hand, it was to allow the mechanical army to control the movements of the three people as much as possible.

Yi Xuan didn't want to see those three desperate individuals recklessly attack him.

If that were the case, DF Express would be doing more than just delivering packages!

Meanwhile, the three people opposite were also extremely agitated by Yi Xuan's mechanical army.

At first, the three found that Yi Xuan's attacks had no effect other than stopping them from advancing, and could not even cause them the slightest harm.

But with each round of bullets, the three of them gradually began to feel slight pain.

What does this mean? You must understand that with the physical strength of Spirit Transformation expert, even if a Golden Core True Person self-destructed right in front of them, they wouldn't feel any pain.

But Yi Xuan's concentrated attack succeeded.

All three were veteran Nascent Spirit Transformation, and they deeply understood that they could never be careless. So, after feeling a slight pain, they decisively erected their True Essence Shield.

The True Essence shield of the Spirit Transformation Realm is indeed powerful. Don't be fooled by Yi Xuan's focused attack, which seemed to completely envelop the three opponents in blue flames.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that even Barrett bullets cannot cause the slightest fluctuation in the opponent's shield.

The three understood that passively taking hits like this was not a long-term solution, so they exchanged a glance and decisively charged towards the group of Nascent Soul who were surrounded.

The dozen or so Firmament above Yi Xuan reacted the moment the enemy made a move, launching a salvo of their onboard missiles.

At the same time, there was a sound of machinery operating from below the fuselage.

Soon, new missiles were mounted on the fuselage again.

Unfortunately, the three men, who had already been attacked by missiles once, were prepared this time.

Upon hearing the sound of the missile approaching, the three decisively increased the output of True Essence shields, which then began to emit a golden light.

Although the missile that detonated above caused the protective shields around the three people to shake violently, the shaking eventually stabilized.

However, the three did not stop their actions and continued to fly towards the group of Black Tortoise No. 2.

Yi Xuan frowned as he looked at the estimated arrival time of DF Express on the screen.

At the same time, order the Firmament and the Black Tortoise No. 2 to attack the Spirit Transformation experts simultaneously, and make sure that the three of them do not break into the encirclement of the Black Tortoise No. 2.

Yi Xuan understood that as long as those three broke into the encirclement of the Black Tortoise, the few dozen Black Tortoise No. 2 alone would be no match for them in rescuing the Nascent Soul Cultivator.

In this way, the opponent will have no worries and can come up and unleash their ultimate Yi Xuan.

If things really come to that, no matter how many DF Express Yi Xuan has, it won't make a difference; the best outcome would be mutual destruction.

Upon receiving the order, the Firmament acted swiftly, and the same missile attack that had occurred just seconds before followed.

The Black Tortoise on the ground were rather strange; their main task, of course, was to keep an eye on those Nascent Soul Cultivators.

However, as Yi Xuan gave the order, the left arm of Black Tortoise No. 2 changed drastically. Soon, the previous hand disappeared, and a dark cannon barrel appeared on their arm.

Facing three Spirit Transformation stage Black Tortoise was relatively easy to deal with. With his right hand gripping the battle sword, he kept a close eye on the Nascent Soul Cultivator in the middle, while simultaneously raising the cannon barrel in his left hand to aim at the Spirit Transformation in the sky.

The Black Tortoise, facing away from the Spirit Transformation Realm, was even more exaggerated, its left arm rotating 180 degrees to aim at the enemy from behind.

Fortunately, it was the unmanned version of Black Tortoise No. 2. If Yi Xuan's vehicle had this function, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Following the missile attack, the Black Tortoise No. 2 launched a laser attack.

The combined power of the two forces actually forced the three Nascent Spirit Transformation, who were rapidly approaching, to a halt.

Yi Xuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But what happened next made his heart leap into his throat.

The attack did stop the opponent, but less than a second later, the opponent charged again.

Visually, apart from the flickering True Essence shields on their bodies, the three appeared completely unharmed.

In an instant, the three Nascent Spirit Transformation were within arm's reach of Black Tortoise No. 2's encirclement. Yi Xuan was sweating profusely as he watched the countdown on the screen.

"What do we do? What do we do? Are we going to capsize in the gutter?"

Despite Yi Xuan's calm exterior, he was inwardly panicking.

However, he also knew that it was precisely in times like these that he needed to remain calm. Panic would not solve anything and would only waste the little time he had left.

Right, time.

Yi Xuan looked at the countdown on the screen, and then glanced at the group of Nascent Soul from the Blood Asura Gate, his mind racing with calculations.

Meanwhile, Black Tortoise No. 2, which was surrounding the group of Nascent Soul, seemed to have received some orders. It abandoned those Nascent Soul and quickly returned to Yi Xuan and the other two, assuming a defensive posture and activating its energy shield.

The three Nascent Spirit Transformation were overjoyed to see this, figuring that the opponent had probably run out of tricks.

So the three of them each took a few Nascent Soul and left, quickly returning to the entrance of the Blood Asura Gate's grand formation.

Having arrived here, the three Nascent Spirit Transformation were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he looked at Yi Xuan with a fierce expression, Yi Xuan also saw the other party's situation through the robot.

Moreover, he knew even better that Spirit Transformation expert could reach him and take his life in less than two seconds.

But Yi Xuan also knew that the other party didn't have two more seconds.

Because the countdown on the screen has now reached zero.

The three Nascent Spirit Transformation also felt the faint pressure emanating from the sky.
