The Great Battle
At this time, the tank unit's 10 M1A3 Main Battle Tank had reached a position 9 kilometers outside the village.
"Firing parameters filling, firing direction, firing angle, deviation correction."
"Filling complete!"
"Emission!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Ten gun-launched missiles were immediately fired by the M1A3 main battle tank toward the village where Hidan was located.
Hidan had just finished dealing with all the agents and was preparing to drag out all the corpses for the final Jashin sacrifice. This sacrifice was the last stop on his sacrificial journey. Once this final act was completed, the entire pattern of the sacrifice would be left on the Africa land.
Hearing the sudden roar, Hidan looked up towards the direction outside the village and saw ten artillery-launched missiles flying towards him, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The shells fell around Hidan, some hitting the road next to him and immediately creating a deep crater in the ground, while others hit the houses next to him and destroyed them.
Because there was no precedent for using a tank's main gun to shoot at a person, and given the firing range of 9 kilometers, these missiles did not hit the Hidan directly, but rather struck him at a distance of about 100 meters around him.
A huge cloud of dust immediately rose within a 100 -Hidan meter radius of the entire village, obscuring all visibility. The cameras on the agents were also destroyed in the shelling. At the military base 100 kilometers away, Barton and his team completely lost track of what was happening inside the village.
However, the tank's main gun fire did not stop. Before the smoke and dust in the village had dissipated, a second shell came flying in. This time the angle of the shell was slightly off, but it still bombarded the village once again.
Soon the second shell passed, and the third shell came flying in.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After the entire village was plowed up, the tank's shelling finally stopped. All three shells had been fired, and the tanks were beginning to reload and slowly advance towards the village.
By this time, the village had been completely destroyed by the bombardment of these thirty shells, and dust and smoke shrouded the entire village.
The constant bombardment also covered the snipers who were lying in ambush a kilometer away from the village with a lot of dust.
An observer wiped the dust off his binoculars and then looked toward the center of the village.
"Report: The village is currently shrouded in smoke and dust, making it impossible to determine whether the target is alive."
"Individual soldier thermal imaging cannot detect due to distance. Should we enter the area to conduct the detection?"
Upon hearing the sniper's report, Barton immediately ordered, "Snipers, remain hidden. If the target appears in your line of sight, launch an attack."
"The tank unit will advance another three kilometers and conduct a scan using thermal imaging."
"Helicopter units lowered their altitude to conduct long-range observation."
However, the fire control system of these M1A3 Main Battle Tank was equipped with a thermoforming device with a maximum scanning range of 6.8 kilometers. At this time, the tank unit was still 9 kilometers away from the village.
Following Barton's orders, the tank units accelerated towards the village. Meanwhile, three Black Hawk Armed Helicopter, which had already taken off, were now closer to the village. Upon receiving orders, they immediately began descending from their original altitude of 3,000 meters and flew towards the village to conduct reconnaissance.
In the village, Hidan began the ritual of sacrificing the Jashin. His body was covered with black and white markings. He dodged all the Hidan in front of him, but after using the Substitution Technique Jutsu to dodge the third wave of shells, he was still blown away by the shockwave caused by the bombs.
However, it didn't cause any damage. With his Undying Body, the kinetic energy of the shockwave only blew him away without causing any actual harm. But those sacrifices intended for the Jashin god didn't have Hidan's strength.
Some were completely incinerated by the shells, while others were blasted into pieces and scattered in all directions. Hidan was extremely annoyed amidst the dust and smoke.
"The sacrifice of the Jashin was ruined, so you will be the compensation!"
Hidan, wielding the Triple-Bladed Scythe, rushed swiftly out of the village, his speed creating a powerful gust of wind behind him.
The sniper lying in wait outside the village immediately noticed the change in the dust inside the village through his optical binoculars.
"There's been movement inside the village; the suspected target is alive."
No sooner had he shouted those words than Hidan burst forth from the dust.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
But the moment they saw Hidan emerge from the smoke and dust, the snipers immediately pulled the triggers, and armor-piercing rounds flew from their sniper rifles.
However, although the bullets were fast, they all missed Hidan and hit Hidan back instead.
Hidan turned his head toward the direction of the gunshot, reached into his Ninja Tool Pouch, and then threw several Shuriken at it.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Chakra, imbued with Shuriken, Hidan at a speed no slower than the armor-piercing bullets fired by his opponent, instantly killing all the snipers lurking in the distance, none of them escaping unscathed.
At this moment, the observer on the newly arrived Black Hawk Helicopter had already spotted Hidan Kuangbiao's figure, as the dust he kicked up behind him was too obvious.
"Sir, the target has been spotted, it's right below!"
"Attack!"
A machine gunner on the helicopter immediately opened fire on Hidan with a 12.7mm machine gun. The 12.7mm machine gun has a much lower rate of fire Gatling Gun gun, but a much higher range and power, and immediately intercepted Hidan from high altitude.
"Da-da-da-da!"
The machine gun fire was extremely dense, but the machine gunner couldn't aim at Hidan because he was too fast; all the bullets he fired hit behind him.
Hidan had already spotted the helicopter overhead and started running towards it quickly.
"Lower the altitude, he's too fast, I can't hit him."
Following the machine gunner's words, the Black Hawk pilot immediately lowered his altitude, closing the distance between them.
The machine gun continued firing, but the effect remained poor.
The co-pilot used the laser infrared targeting system and finally locked onto Hidan's figure, then pressed the red fire button.
The Hellfire Missile carried by the Black Hawk were immediately launched and flew towards Hidan.
Hidan saw the incoming missile and accelerated even further, but the Hellfire Missile, equipped with its own targeting system, quickly closed in on him.
At the instant the missile detonated, Hidan used his Substitution Technique to avoid the center of the explosion and appeared below Black Hawk in the sky.
"Has the objective been achieved?"
"At such close range, he should be dead."
Hidan leaped into the air with all his might, heading towards the Black Hawk Helicopter. At that moment, the machine gunner at the window spotted Hidan and immediately shouted, "He's still alive!"
He then lowered the muzzle of the machine gun and pulled the trigger towards the leaping Hidan.
