Although the Dark Matter Energy Shield had been activated in advance, this did not guarantee complete safety.

The recent attack launched by the "Furious Lion" remained vivid in his memory.

The Defense Light Shield at the Blood Blade Star Thieves' lair, supposedly as strong as the Dark Matter Energy Shield, collapsed in mere seconds, instilling a significant sense of danger in Song Chi, who had previously been quite confident in the might of the Dark Matter Energy Shield.

Of course, he was well aware that the main cannon on the Furious Lion must have activated some unique feature, resulting in that effect, unlikely to be replicated by other Torch Warships.

But what if?

As his thoughts raced, the Cang Qiong had not slowed down either, successfully gaining enough distance from the warships of his family's elders.

Glancing to the rear, the situation of battle reaffirmed Song Chi's quick reflexes; the six Second Rank Torch Warships that burst from the star thieves' stronghold were now engaged in battle with his father, second uncle, and fourth uncle.

Main and Secondary Cannons of Second Rank, even enhanced to Third Rank Level, bombarded each other, illuminating the pitch-black space with countless blasts, with terrifying explosions and energy shockwaves resonating across a hundred thousand meters.

Looking toward the outskirts of the battle, Song You and Song Wen, who reacted slightly slower than Song Chi, Song Qi, and Song Lin, were in a less favorable situation; the Energy Shields on the exterior of their warships seemed much dimmer than those of Song Chi and the others, having already sustained several impacts from the battle's residual waves in this short time.

Fortunately, no one's warship had its Energy Shield breached yet, and their basic Combat Power was still intact.

After briefly surveying the situation, Song Chi had to refocus his attention as a Spectral Airship from the Blood Blade Star Thieves appeared not far ahead of the Cang Qiong.

Upon seeing this, the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon, which had been charging in advance and was just about to complete, turned its barrel, and in the next second, boomed.

Whoosh!

Amidst the whistling sword cries, a Sword Light Phantasm two meters wide and over ten meters long shot out. The airship from the Blood Blade Star Thieves slightly shifted to dodge the Sword Light Phantasm, but compared to the blazing fast sword light, its dodging speed was tortoise-like.

Hum!

The fluctuation on its Shield was minimal— not because the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon's Sword Light Phantasm was weak, but because it was excessively terrifying, causing the other airship's Energy Shield to completely collapse in less than two seconds.

Inside the main control room of the Blood Hyena, Blood Hyena himself widened his eyes in disbelief; his Blood Hyena was only equipped with a White Energy Shield, but it had been enhanced to level 20.

A Second Rank Energy Shield completely overloaded in less than two seconds? What kind of monster was this?

His gaze remained fixed on the approaching Spectral Airship enshrouded in the dark Light Shield, the eagerness in his eyes replaced by endless fear. But this fear did not last long.

After the Sword Light Phantasm shattered the Blood Hyena's Energy Shield, its Might was still far from exhausted, and it further struck the Warship Armor of the Blood Hyena, tearing open a gaping hole of several meters before completely dissipating.

Blood Hyena, panic-stricken, glanced towards the damaged Warship Armor and the ship itself, then, without looking back, frantically steered the Blood Hyena to escape at high speed to the side.

Damage to Warship Armor: 38%, damage to the ship itself: 16%.

"Damn, if it can break through the Energy Shield and damage nearly 40% of the Warship Armor, someone else can fight this battle; I'm bailing out first," Blood Hyena thought to himself.

However, faster than his warship was the Electromagnetic Ray Cannon on the Cang Qiong, and a streak of purple lightning followed, striking the recently turned Blood Hyena, not just once, but with a continuous barrage of electromagnetic rays.

Five seconds later, the Blood Hyena sank completely. And yet, a stream of lightning continued to emanate from its hull, finally falling onto the surrounding star thieves' warships that weren't too far away.

The Electromagnetic Ray Cannon was only a blue component, and the arcs it scattered had limited Might. Naturally, they couldn't break through other warships' Energy Shields as easily as the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon, but they still caused the numerous Zero Rank and First Rank Torch Warships nearby considerable distress.

After all, also enhanced to Second Rank, even just secondary cannons, were not something that Spectral Shuttles and ordinary Spectral Airships could easily withstand.

Inside the Cang Qiong, after witnessing the terrifying Might of the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon, Song Chi's nerves were steadied, and with narrowed eyes, he focused his indifferent gaze on the Zero Rank and First Rank Torch Warships of the Blood Blade Star Thieves ahead.

As members of the Blood Blade Star Thieves, regardless of their power, their hands were surely stained with innocent blood, and there was no need for mercy.

Seconds later, the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon roared again, and another ten-meter-long Sword Light Phantasm shot out.

Having seen the terror of the Sword Light Phantasm, the star thieves' warships scattered in all directions. Even though some stray fire landed on the Cang Qiong, they were merely transient ripples on the Dark Matter Energy Shield, almost negligible.

With the Shadowcapture Antimatter Overstate Engine at level 29, the Cang Qiong, unencumbered by the temporarily sealed spatial rifts, pursued the fleeing star thieves' warships with a velocity far surpassing that of peer warships, quickly overtaking and sinking one after another.
