It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1260 - The Second Strongest!

Chapter 1260 The Second Strongest!

If only the two of them could figuratively combine with each other. Ling Xiao would provide his skills and intelligence while the other successor candidate would contribute his heartless and ruthless personality, mixing the both of them would create the greatest marshal the Federation had yet to see.

Even with all the positives of Ling Xiao, the First Marshal logically still felt that the other successor candidate was more suitable to inherit his throne. But, if he took his emotions into account, he wished that Ling Xiao would take over his position. After all of his deliberation, the First Marshal decided to give Ling Xiao another chance.

The First Marshal believed that Ling Xiao was clearly aware of the trap. If he would make the right decision as the commander-in-chief, the First Marshal would have a reason to push Ling Xiao to a higher position when he returned.

The rule that a god-class operator couldn’t be a marshal could be ignored during an intergalactic war.

Would he choose his nation or his family? The First Marshal wanted Ling Xiao to make his own decision, and his choice would affect the First Marshal’s decision.

While everyone was sending in the reinforcements, Ling Xiao had already started fighting with his four enemies.

Four people? Really?

It’s hard to believe, right? However, it was true. Ling Xiao had started fighting with the four god-class operators. However, the four god-class operators didn’t surround him simultaneously. Ling Xiao controlled two god-class operators with his long-range attacks while fending off the other two in close combat.

Ling Xiao held a sword in one hand and a beam gun in the other. He performed Ghost Walk under the oppression of two god-class operators. Just as he was about to get hit by his opponent, he would miraculously evade the hit. Not only that, he was still able to snipe the other two god-class operators during this heated battle. With the help of his beam gun and the twelve wings behind him, he managed to keep two god-class operators a few kilometres away from him.

“This is our general. This is the fire phoenix. Oh my god. He is so amazing!” Luo Lang and Xie Yi watched Ling Xiao with their mouths wide open. They were dumbfounded.

At first, they thought that Ling Xiao would have a hard time handling four god-class mecha masters. However, when the battle started, he was able to maintain his position while not getting suppressed by his opponents. His Dance of Death was beautiful and elegant. Xie Yi and Luo Lang were filled with respect for General Ling Xiao.

Li Lanfeng looked at Ling Xiao in admiration too. But, he wasn’t as flabbergasted as Xie Yi and Luo Lang. Since Ling Lan wasn’t the one fighting, he was still able to maintain his composure. After watching Ling Xiao for some time, he received some epiphany.

“Ling Lan, is that Ghost Walk?” Li Lanfeng asked in the team channel.

Ling Lan had gulped a bottle of recovery agent so she was feeling much better. The most painful moment had passed. She replied in a low voice, “Yes. The foundation of his movements is based on Ghost Walk. Everyone has different ways of executing it. My father’s Ghost Walk is on another level.”

This was how powerful her father was. He had only watched her execute Ghost Walk once but he could already replicate it. After a few years, his father had turned the weird and strange Ghost Walk into an enchanting and elegant dance. It was hard for people to shift their eyes away from him.

Li Lanfeng didn’t listen to Ling Lan’s reply. Instead, he noticed her hoarse voice. “You’re hurt.”

This wasn’t a question. It was a statement. Li Lanfeng’s mind was all on Ling Lan so he would notice any slight change in her condition.

“There’ll always be a backlash when you jump levels in operation. Don’t worry. I’ve already drank the medication Shiyu gave me. I’m fine now.” Ling Lan brushed away the issue of his injury. She didn’t want her comrades to worry.

Li Lanfeng stopped himself from saying too much. He couldn’t help her even if he was concerned. He just hoped that Ling Lan was saying the truth.

‘I am still not strong enough!’ Li Lanfeng clenched his fist tightly. He felt he was a disgrace. Why couldn’t he help Ling Lan every time he needed help? If he...

Li Lanfeng looked at the powerful man who was fending off four god-class operators. If he was able to be as strong as Ling Xiao one day, he would be able to protect Ling Lan.

‘In the past, I wanted to stand at the peak because I wanted to change my fate. Now, I want to climb to the top for Rabbit’s sake. I may not be able to be the strongest because Rabbit will be taking that position so I’ll just settle as the second strongest!’

At this time, the 23rd division had already arrived in the Puqi planetary sector. Once they passed this planetary sector, they would arrive in Qingri’s planetary sector.

Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

An urgent alarm was heard from the starship up front.

All the following starships activated their battle mode. The mecha operators quickly rushed to the mecha hold and boarded their mechas. They were ready to fight at any moment.

Once they were ready, they saw a huge fleet moving slowly towards them.

“It’s the Hejia Army.” All the soldiers from the Federation memorized the totems of the nine divisions of Twilight. Thus, they knew who this cherry blossom demon logo represented.

The Hejia Army had never appeared since the start of the war but they were here now. As the temporary commander of the 23rd division, He Xuyang felt his heart dropping to the pits of his stomach. He had a bad feeling.

“Look to the left. There’s another fleet.” While everyone was surprised by the appearance of the Hejia Army, another fleet had appeared on their left.

“It’s the Zaoyi Army.” This was another piece of bad news. This was another intergalactic division of Twilight. Their moment had exposed themselves, they got surrounded by two armies. This was undeniably the most dangerous battle the 23rd division would be facing ever since the start of the war. One mistake, and the entire 23rd division would be annihilated.

He Xuyang’s heart pounded furiously. He could feel a mountainload of pressure on his shoulders. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead instantly.

Two armies were enough to stress him out. He wondered how their general was able to cope with the pressure when he led them into Twilight’s planetary sector. Their general had to resist the pressure of being hunted down by the entire Twilight military.

He Xuyang’s respect for Ling Xiao even more now. In the past, he wasn’t worried at all when he went into Twilight’s planetary sector with his general. He felt as if he was taking a stroll at home if Ling Xiao was beside him. Now, without Ling Xiao, he couldn’t even feel more naked.
