Chapter 571 - Self-inflicted Consequences (1/2)

Just when Qin Feng’s Sky Dweller was about to be blown apart, a transparent s.h.i.+eld abruptly extended around the entire hover copter from its tail.

The energy of the s.h.i.+eld felt familiar. Qin Feng had used the same energy to unlock the sixth level of the sanctuary earlier.

It was a C5-tier, emperor-cla.s.s conscious power.

The consciousness s.h.i.+eld that had materialized instantly turned the tables before the aircraft’s crews from the Red Sun Corp had enough time to react.

The powerful laser reflected once it hit on the s.h.i.+eld and traveled straight down to the ground.

The C-tier gunners on the aircraft were astounded.

“Consciousness reflection!” They did not expect it. This meant they had just missed a golden opportunity.

Hong Lie’s smile immediately vanished from his face. His eyelids fluttered as he bellowed angrily, “Morons! Why didn’t you realize your target, an ability user, is preparing a reflecting s.h.i.+eld with that much conscious power? Are you guys stupid?”

His rant did not change the fact in front of them.

The two C-tier gunners were half-ashamed, half-infuriated. Their faces were all red.

They both had infused their shot with consciousness too. Otherwise, they would lose the target once the Sky Dweller switches direction. The laser may be quick but a straight-line trajectory was always easy to evade.

Nonetheless, it never crossed their mind that Qin Feng would change the laser direction with a consciousness s.h.i.+eld.

In hindsight, they should have seen it coming. Did Qin Feng not just show the prowess of his consciousness?

This was when the large monitor showed a new development.

After the laser beam was deflected and went straight down, another screen appeared before the laser hit the ground and changed its direction once again.

This time, it was sent right back to where it came from.

Everyone thought about the same name of the skill that had once made a formidable gunner famous.

Consciousness Refraction!

But no one had the time to utter the words.

The attack came in too fast. The refracted laser was right in front of their eyes and their ears were occupied by the deafening alarms.

“Beep! Beep! Beep! Warning! Warning! Dangerous laser waves incoming! The aircraft would automatically enter full defense mode! Insufficient energy! Insufficient energy!”

The main cannon had been charged to its maximum capacity to kill Qin Feng for good. Under the gunners’ modification, most defensive power from the aircraft had been exhausted in exchange for the largest possible attack power.

Everyone understood the risk but n.o.body had raised it up. They did not think it would be an issue and were confident that the attack would destroy Qin Feng’s hover copter instantly.

Since there was not any other threat around them, the safety of the aircraft was the least of their concern.

But as the laser beam was coming straight back at them, they had only themselves to blame for not reserving a trick up their sleeves.

It was a horrendous and regrettable decision.

A weak energy s.h.i.+eld formed in the last minute around the aircraft but it was shattered almost immediately.
