Chapter 1403: No Way Out

A concussion round was not enough to actually hurt him. However, he clearly saw that the battleship’s barrel was firing several beams of light again.

The beams had sealed off all his possible trajectories of falling down or evasion. Even more alarming was that the beams turned into giant nets after they exploded and would trap him immediately.

Capture rounds!

These were capture rounds that the Federation specifically developed to capture large oceanic soul beasts. Even a ten-thousand-year soul beast would be hard-pressed to fight against a battleship’s capture round, let alone a human.

At the moment, Xie Xie was under the influence of the concussion round and had nowhere to run.

He was as dejected as could be! He knew that he was too full of himself. If he had been more careful from the start and contacted the Holy Spirit Douluo when he was further away, this would not have happened. Once he was taken by the capture round, he would really become a fish on a chopping board, powerless before his captors.

He truly understood how terrifying modern technology could be after actually facing the immense Federal Fleet. The Federation’s war machines were extremely powerful.

Mechas were already flying out of the battleship. The leading mecha at the front was an impressive black mecha. Once the capture round got hold Xie Xie, the mechas would seize him. He would also be robbed of any power to fight back.

At this crucial point, Xie Xie displayed the amazing abilities of a Shrek Seven Monster.

He bit down on his tongue and soul power surged within him. With a flash of movement, his seventh soul ring glimmered. It was his martial soul avatar, the Space-time Dragon.

Xie Xie’s three-word battle armor was not complete yet. In truth, among the Shrek Seven Monsters, only Yuanen Yehui, Ye Xinglan, and Tang Wulin had complete suits of three-word battle armor. The next in line whose battle armors were to be completed were Xu Xiaoyan and Yue Zhengyu. Because Xie Xie and Xu Lizhi were Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan’s respective boyfriends, the two of them made such an arrangement.

Hence, Xie Xie’s three-word battle armor was only seventy percent complete right now. Naturally, it did not have its own domain, so he could only count on his martial soul avatar.

The Space-time Dragon appeared peculiar. It resembled a dragon and a snake at the same time. The wings on its back were transparent and its body was much smaller than ordinary giant dragons. Even though it was a martial soul avatar, its length was only slightly more than three meters. However, its entire body was translucent. The surface of its body seemed to fade in and out of existence, and an illusory shadow surfaced.

After he unleashed his martial soul avatar, the side effects of the concussion round diminished. Xie Xie moved deftly and slipped into a void. He instantly used Spatial Evasion and escaped the capture net.

After he was out of the net’s range, he wanted to flee into space immediately.

However, he underestimated the strength of the Federal Fleet.

Four consecutive explosions rang out at the same time, and four concussion rounds went off near him. He had just intended to slip into space when he felt an intense vibration. If he entered it forcibly, he would be torn to shreds by the dimensional rift.

The Space-time Dragon slipped into space but was quickly ejected and reappeared in midair.

His head went numb. Xie Xie felt energy beams locking onto him instantly. The prickly feeling made him understand that the attack could very well threaten his life.

His body flickered and he formed three figures out of the void. Three Space-time Dragons appeared in midair. They fled downward in three different directions at the same time. Since he was prepared, and he was in his martial soul avatar state, the concussion rounds’ effects on him were minimal.

Dozens of light beams shot through the air and hit the Space-time Dragons with great accuracy. However, the three Space-time Dragons became illusory at the same time. The beams of light seemed to have hit an empty spot. Xie Xie mysteriously appeared in another corner. He attempted to slip into the void again.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” There were more blasts as concussion rounds exploded again.

Xie Xie cursed to himself. ‘They’re not giving me a way out!’

There were at least fifteen mechas around them now. The leading black mecha shone brightly. Like a porcupine, it was constantly shooting out powerful piercing attacks which from its body.

Xie Xie’s body twisted and turned in midair. He resembled a fish swimming in water. Beams of light continued to shone on his body continuously. The illusory figures stacked onto each other and his opponents could not figure out which was the real him. Even the black mecha could not do anything about him.

It was as though he did not have an actual body. No matter how his opponents’ attacked, he was always able to avoid them easily. However, with the restrictions from the concussion rounds, he could not use his ability to slip into space.

It could be said that he was isolated without backup. He knew that the submarine was deep under the sea and he could not send a signal to it. Naturally, this meant that there would not be any reinforcements. He could only rely on himself.

‘What should I do? I can’t let myself be taken by them! Otherwise, my identity might be exposed. I must get out of this.’

Xie Xie understood that although his abilities were powerful, if some Title Douluo-ranked experts came, he would not be able to escape from their control regardless of how skilled he was at running away. He must seize this chance while the battleship had yet to give him its full attention and had not sent a powerful individual to his location. This was the only chance he had.

He gritted his teeth suddenly and the Space-time Dragon moved swiftly. This time, he split into six bodies which became illusory in midair at the same time. The Space-time Dragon moved quickly and turned into six shadows which all dashed toward different directions. In midair, only six distorted afterimages were left while its real body was nowhere to be seen.

This was a skill born from the cooperation between his Shadow Dragon Dagger’s invisibility and the Space-time Dragon. Even a soul power detector could not make an accurate judgement concerning him at this moment. If one of his split bodies could make it out of the concussion rounds’ range, he could escape successfully.

However, at that moment, things took a turn for Xie Xie.

With what sounded like a series of thunderclaps, at least ten concussion rounds exploded in the air. Huge halos rippled outward and completely sealed off the area which he was in.

That was not all, as an ice-cold voice called out, “You want to run? Let’s see where you’re going to run to now.”

The voice sounded very close to him. The air seemed to have frozen over and the temperature around him plummeted. Xie Xie’s six separate bodies slowed down. In the skies, huge snowflakes scattered everywhere. His bodies seemed to have a gravitational pull of their own as the snowflakes naturally stuck onto them.

The snowflakes were light and had no actual attacking power. However, the terrifying part was that each of these snowflakes emitted an extreme cold.

The ocean was the realm of the water element. In this place, condensing snowflakes was an extremely easy thing to do.

An ice attribute, control system soul master and a Title Douluo!

These thoughts flashed across Xie Xie’s mind. He understood that he was in deep trouble now.

His six bodies immediately joined into one and his real body materialized again to prevent his separated bodies being covered by more snow flakes. In the skies, it was already snowing. The moment his real body appeared, the snowflakes immediately swirled as if there was a giant vortex around him with his body as the center. He had nowhere to run to.

‘I’m dead.’ Xie Xie felt defeated. He never thought that his Space-time Dragon’s powers would not be sufficient for him to escape just because of a moment’s carelessness.

A silhouette appeared in midair not far from him. It was a man wearing a military uniform. A general’s star hung from his shoulder. His hands were folded behind him and his neatly ironed military uniform complemented his imposing air perfectly. He looked to be in his forties, and his eyes flickered with a cold gleam.

The Battle God Hall’s Icy Snow Battle God of the Eighteen Battle Gods.

He was the controller of ice and snow. There were three control system soul masters among the Battle God Hall’s Eighteen Battle Gods. He was one of them, and he was most skilled in aerial control. Practically all of his opponents could only despair in the end when they met him.
