In just a moment, we'll be confronting the Blood Blade Star Thieves, so of course, it's not feasible to use the "Torch Warship Boarding Certificate" at this time – wouldn't that be the same as tying myself up and delivering myself to their doorstep? .net

Since the "Torch Warship Boarding Certificate" can't be used, it would be better to take a ship of a lower rank, as the Floating Land Origin deducted is determined by the warship's own rank.

In the Cangqiong Main Control Room, Song Chi activated the Shadowcapture Antimatter Overstate Engine while comparing the two hovering star charts in front of him.

One of them was transferred by his grandfather when he first boarded the airship, and the other was painstakingly completed through the loss of more than twenty Hornet-class drones over the past two months, generated by the "Eye-in-the-Sky Patrol Radar."

After a careful comparison, Song Chi's mouth twitched. These two star charts in front of him weren't 99% similar – they were 100% identical.

Knowing this, he wasn't a fool, naturally realizing that his family had already explored everything near the lair of the Blood Blade Star Thieves long before him and had everything about them crystal clear.

"So all that time and drones were wasted in these two months?"

Mumbling to himself in his heart, he thought of another point.

Previously, when he showed the internal layout map of the Blood Blade Star Thieves' lair, recorded on the Phantom Butterfly drones, to his father, Song Chao, the man's face didn't show much change, which puzzled him at the time.

Now it seems that the family's decades of infiltration work might have been better than he imagined. It was not just the periphery of the Blood Blade Star Thieves' lair that they knew inside out – likely all the internal arrangements were already completely clear to them.

Shaking his head, he scolded himself for being too naive and didn't dwell on it further. As the Cang Qiong rose into the open space, he directly activated the Purple River Translocation Device.

After a substantial charging time, a spatial vortex nearly a hundred meters in diameter appeared in the combined Illusion Space, and in the next second, the Cang Qiong vanished.

Emerging from a spatial rift in a vacuum star domain not too far from the Blood Blade Star Thieves' lair, the Cang Qiong appeared from the spatial vortex.

The jump point set by his grandparents was not close to the Blood Blade Star Thieves, to avoid premature detection. After all, activating the "Void Prison" feature of the "Starry Sky Monitor" required a considerable charging time. If discovered too early, the variables would be too great.

The doors of the Cang Qiong opened, and fourteen figures rushed out, each subsequently summoning their own warships.

When Song Mingsong's Furious Lion appeared, it quickly activated the Void Prison feature, targeting the distant Blood Blade Star Thieves' stronghold, while the fifteen Torch Warships also began to move slowly toward the lair.

...

Blood Blade Star Thieves' lair, top floor, gang leader's private room.

As a Third Rank Torch Captain over five hundred and fifty years old, Bloodeye's Guidance Technique had reached the peak of lv39. Thus, unlike other Third Rank Torch Captains who usually lock themselves inside their warships, he preferred a leisurely tea, enjoying the little time he had left.

But at that moment, he suddenly stood up from the sofa. His cold gaze turned, tracing a path through the window to the outside of the stronghold as if something in the deep, dark starry sky beyond the station's defense light shield greatly concerned him.

The ominous gaze, paired with a terrifying scar on his face, made Bloodeye look particularly fearsome at that moment.

As if confirming something, Spectral Energy surged within Bloodeye, and the next second, his figure seemingly teleported, swiftly moving from in front of the sofa to the window.

Bang!

The window shattered entirely, and Bloodeye, surrounded by a layer of dark energy, burst out of the room, his figure hovering in the space above the Star Thieves' stronghold.

Below, the mid and lower-ranking members of the star thieves hadn't yet reacted, but Bloodeye's cold, Spectral Energy-amplified voice was already echoing in every corner of the stronghold.

"Enemy attack, all hands, battle stations!"

```

```

As soon as the voice fell, the kilometer-long Blood Blade Cruiser appeared out of nowhere in the skies above the station. Looking at the familiar blood-colored armor and the two immensely large shipborne main cannons at the bow, all the members of the Star Thieves group finally came to their senses, scrambling to summon their own warships.

Amidst the violent roar of the engines, the Blood Blade Cruiser had already charged out of the protective light shield hovering above the station.

As a Torch Captain who had lived for nearly six hundred years, Blood Knife had personally slain countless captains of his rank, fostering his domineering and bloodthirsty character. To wait inside the protective light shield for enemies to come knocking was not his style, sorry.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Some Second Rank Star Thieves attempted to activate the spatial jump devices on their flagships, trying to keep up with the Blood Blade, but they quickly discovered that the jump devices on their warships, after flickering several times, went dark, evidently unable to perform a spatial jump.

"Spatial blockade, everyone stay alert, the ones coming this time are definitely not ordinary folk!"

After several attempts, the vice-captain of the Star Thieves group, Blood Wolf, shouted out loudly, his eyes showing seriousness, a far cry from his usual sickly arrogance.

The special component capable of conducting a spatial blockade was at least of the Purple Level. Looking at the spatial fractures outside the station that were also temporarily sealed, Blood Wolf already had his answer. To freeze so many spatial fractures, the blockade was certainly not the work of a Purple Component; it must have been a spatial blockade activated by an Orange Level component.

Boom boom boom!

Before the members of the Blood Blade Star Thieves could give it much thought, a dozen attacks were already shooting over from afar. One was leading the charge, with the remaining fourteen clearly lagging behind.

"Something's wrong!"

A sense of foreboding surged in Blood Wolf's heart. Just as he was about to speak up to warn the others, the light beam dashing in front did not give him the chance.

Whizz!

The light beam struck the protective light shield above the station. At first, only a faint ripple appeared on the shield, as if it had barely taken any damage, but the next second the colors of the light shield quickly dimmed, and in just a few seconds, the light shield capable of withstanding Third Rank Level attacks completely dissipated.

"Shield Breaker feature, damn it!"

On the Blood Wolf and such, Blood Wolf cursed loudly, but what responded to him were the following fourteen main cannon barrages that struck various parts of the station.

Boom boom boom!

Amidst violent explosions and tremors, the Star Thieves station instantly lay in ruins, with numerous lower-ranked Star Thieves suffering heavy casualties and deaths.

Rubble, blood, and screams turned the station into complete chaos in no time.

In the midst of the mayhem, Blood Wolf raised his blood-red eyes, and upon capturing the sight of the fifteen Torch Warships of varying sizes at the edge of his vision,

he let out a loud roar and then, together with a few Second Rank Torch Warships from within the group, charged straight towards the fifteen unknown warships outside.

Meanwhile, in the communication projection group of Cang Qiong, Grandfather Song Mingsong's voice popped up.

"Boss, follow me to intercept the Blood Blade, others carry out the tasks as we distributed before, fight on your own!"

"Yes!"

With the order given, Song Chi was the first to control Cang Qiong, speeding off to the side, thinking to quickly put enough distance between himself and the Second Rank Torch Warships to his side, minimizing the chance of being caught in collateral damage.
