Dying with Eyes Wide Open (Continued)
Of course, the destructive power of a nuclear bomb consists of three parts: light radiation, shock wave, and nuclear radiation, while the True Qi Beam Cannon only has a shock wave, making it a pure, natural, pollution-free, green organic cannon.
"Hiss, in terms of destructive range, it surpasses even the ultimate move of a Spirit Transformation cultivator. That bastard Doctor didn't even warn me beforehand. Luckily, I only used 80% power, otherwise, we would have accidentally injured friendly forces."
Although the ultimate moves of Spirit Transformation cultivators are often used to deal with enemies of the same level, thus requiring them to concentrate their power and reduce the killing range to increase their strength, this is not the same as the purpose of the True Qi Beam Cannon.
Si Ming glanced at the remaining True Qi reserves and found that about half of them had been used up. He had only used 80% of the power just now. In other words, with the total true True Qi of Level Twelve Internal Cultivation, he True Qi Beam Cannon at most. His own level 7 Internal Cultivation was even less capable, and he couldn't even fire a cannon at half power.
Under the olfactory perception of the Heaven-Howling Art, the domain below had disappeared, and even the Anomalies aura had weakened considerably.
This is not hard to understand. A domain also needs to rely on the earth or a certain building to be formed. When the medium on which it relies is destroyed, the domain naturally becomes a rootless duckweed. If Si Ming had blown up the entire teaching building with one shot during that night raid on the school, there wouldn't have been so much trouble later. Of course, the hostages probably wouldn't have been rescued either.
Just like in supernatural stories, the best way to deal with haunted houses and buildings is never to find some enlightened monks or Daoist priests, but to directly bury explosives under the scorching sun and blow them up in a controlled manner. It is more convenient to deal with "houses" and "buildings" than to deal with "ghosts".
The commotion caused by Si Ming was so great that even the blind and deaf were alerted. The entire Tea-Tasting Manor was like a beast awakened from hibernation, quickly coming to a standstill. Lights were turned on one by one, and countless people, disheveled, ran out of the rooms, shouting and cursing in panic.
Si Ming was in mid-air, thought for a moment, then aimed his True Qi Beam Cannon at the residence of the Lu Lineage's Spirit Transformation Grandmaster and fired one shot with a 20% success rate. The shot immediately ignited a raging fire, directing all the Lu Lineage members to watch.
Just as he was considering whether to fire another shot, the Anomalies the strongest aura burst out from underground. Using some unknown technique, it remotely launched a powerful attack from two thousand meters away, like a giant crossbow piercing the air.
Si Ming flapped his wings and easily dodged the attack. He then swooped down, quickly closing the distance with his opponent. Once close, he drew his psionic gun from his waist and fired a shot at the enemy.
The opponent did not dodge. His True Qi blocked the bullets, sparks flew, and his forward momentum continued. He leaped up, flipped his right hand, and a blood-red broadsword appeared in his palm. He drew a gale and slashed out at the opponent.
Si Ming combined the two psionic guns, transforming them into a slashing mode. The blades spun half a circle backward, carrying a whirlwind force as he slashed down with a move called "Stand Guard on Horseback".
The two blades collided, their forces clashing. Both were suspended in mid-air, unable to find leverage, and were simultaneously thrown apart.
As the Crimson Shadow King fell, he spun around and pressed his legs down, as if using the air as the ground, and used the airflow to propel himself upwards.
Do you know what the "kite-flying tactic" is?
With the advantage of flight, Si Ming didn't want to engage in close combat. He immediately flapped the wings of the Vermilion Bird to continue gaining altitude, and at the same time, he split the psionic gun and then combined it, switching it to sniper mode, and fired a series of shots from his high vantage point.
The True Qi could block ordinary bullets, but not sniper bullets; at most, it could only deflect them. The Crimson Shadow King had never seen such a weapon before. Caught off guard, he was shot in the shoulder, his scapula was shattered, and his body fell from mid-air.
Si Ming pressed his advantage relentlessly, firing sniper bullets one after another. With his current cultivation level, seeing in the dark was commonplace for him. Whenever an opponent tried to get close, he would increase his height to create distance. Moreover, being in the air, he could move forward, backward, up, down, left, and right, giving him far more room to dodge than on the ground.
Although the sniper bullets were difficult to fire after the opponent was on guard, and were often dodged or blocked by the blade's energy, Si Ming was still very pleased to have forced a powerful enemy with the cultivation of the Spirit Transformation stage into such a sorry state.
"Hahaha, tremble, monster! This is the power of science!"
With a roar, Crimson Shadow King leaped into the air, only to be sniped mid-flight. He hastily brandished his Crimson Blood Divine Blade, the blade striking the bullet with a metallic clang. The force of the impact sent him crashing back to the ground.
"Damn it, that's despicable! Come down and fight me if you dare!"
The Crimson Shadow King was furious. Having left the Otherworld Domain, he could no longer use his innate abilities and could only use the martial arts that this body knew. However, the former leader of the Crimson Eye Society had learned the "Void Shadow Killing Technique," a magical martial art that used shadows to carry out assassinations. Even Spirit Transformation expert could be killed if they were not careful.
However, shadows need to stay close to the ground. Even if you master the "Void Shadow Killing Technique," you can only stay a meter off the ground at most, and you can't touch Si Ming flying in mid-air.
"You can't fly yourself, so you want to blame others? If you're so capable, why don't you grow wings yourself!"
Si Ming immediately responded with a bullet, while simultaneously unleashing a mocking Fist Intent, attempting to provoke his opponent and drive him to lose his temper.
However, perhaps due to his Anomalies nature, although the Crimson Shadow King was furious, he did not lose his ability to think. Upon hearing the sounds of fighting coming from the outside, he immediately realized that the other party was not alone and had companions.
"Then you can stay in the sky. I'll deal with you after I've killed all your companions!"
Crimson Shadow King quickly used his lightness skill, his body transforming into a shadow as he shot out, rushing towards the direction where Si Jingyu and the others were fighting. In the night, he was almost invisible.
Si Ming sighed helplessly. That's the downside of kite tactics. Reality is different from games. In games, monsters will chase after characters and fight to the death when they are enraged. But in reality, once the opponent realizes that they can't do anything to you, they will change targets or at the very least run away. They won't be stupid enough to keep chasing you and waiting to be beaten to death.
Si Ming had no choice but to put away his spirit-powered gun, draw the Vermilion Flame Sword from his waist, and at the same time secretly use the Divine Sight Illusory Observation Art to adjust the flow of Qi and Blood in his body and strengthen his physical attributes, before diving towards his opponent at supersonic speed.
"Then so be it, let's kill each other to our hearts' content!"
What exactly do you want?
Lu Ling, the young patriarch of the Lu Lineage whose Cultivation Body had been suppressed, sounded extremely weak because he had not eaten for many days.
Before him stood a person who looked exactly like him, or more accurately, Anomalies who had become exactly like him. Not only did they look alike, but their martial arts and the attributes of their inner True Qi were also completely identical.
The other party first impersonated Spirit Transformation Grandmaster from the Lu Lineage, ordering him to enter the house for a meeting. Suddenly, they captured him, sealed his Cultivation Body, and imprisoned him with iron chains. Then they threw him into a secret room without killing him.
These days, the other party has been impersonating him and issuing orders within the clan. Unfortunately, he is unable to move around easily and has no access to outside information, so he doesn't know what kind of false orders these people have issued, but he imagines they won't be beneficial to the Lu Lineage.
The White Face glanced at Lu Ling and said indifferently, "Don't meddle in other people's business, and don't try to resist. If you do, I won't kill you. We'll leave in two days and set you free."
Lu Ling was startled, knowing that the other party would definitely launch a major operation in two days, and that he might only have two days left to live.
He simply didn't believe the other party would leave without doing anything. Even if they had made such a promise, he wouldn't believe it. The reason they didn't kill him was probably to squeeze out the last bit of use from him, and the other party was confident that they could prevent the Lu Lineage from retaliating.
Thinking of this, Lu Ling felt a pang of sorrow. Even if he had guessed this, what could he do?
Trapped in a predicament, barely able to save himself, with nothing in this secret room, there's no way he could find a ring and have a miraculous adventure, let alone become a savior to save his Lineage, he can't even escape.
"Either kill me now, or as long as I have a breath left, I will avenge this humiliation!" Lu Ling tried to provoke the other party to see if there was any chance of a turnaround.
Bai White Face wasn't fooled. Instead, he quipped, "Every cloud has a silver lining. Perhaps you'll be reborn because of this and thank me in return."
When the Monster Race army invades, they will need a large number of host bodies. The stronger the host body, the more Anomalies its power can be unleashed. Sometimes, it can even gain power stronger than the host body. This is why they spared Lu Ling's life. Although he is not comparable to those martial arts masters, Lu Ling has the advantage of being young and has great potential to be developed.
Suddenly, the ground shook violently, accompanied by a muffled, thunderous explosion. The whole house shook, and the tea set on the table made a clattering sound, as if it might fall to the ground at any moment.
"What exactly did you do? This secret room has the best earthquake-resistant design; even in the event of an earthquake, it won't shake at all."
Lu Ling questioned them, only to find that the other party also looked surprised, clearly indicating that this situation was not part of their plan.
