Fighting Two Against One
The Sunset City.
Gu Jinlai, Gu Luochen, Gu Qingmei, and their group stopped.
"Check your equipment."
This Gu Jinlai.
Upon hearing this, everyone began to check their own equipment once again.
In contrast, Gu Jinlai would place his hand on a close-in weapon system (CIWS), his True Spirit possessing him, and skillfully activate the CIWS.
He activated the close-in weapon system and turned on its radar detection function, quickly scanning for waves of divine thought.
Two of the divine thought fluctuations were significantly stronger than the other four.
The key point is that the two Spirit Transformation are located in the same place, preventing them from being defeated one by one Gu Jinlai.
"They say there are two Spirit Transformation, and they really are two Spirit Transformation. The Cold Moon Sect is clearly going to have a tough battle with us."
Their expressions have been solemn Gu Jinlai.
This tough battle also represents the bottom line drawn by the Cold Moon Sect.
If, in the Gu Jinlai and present, anyone could break through the elite force led by the two Spirit Transformation Grandmasters and four Divine Spirit Refining True Person of the Cold Moon Sect, the Cold Moon Sect would never again covet those four cities...
To be precise, we will no longer use such a simplistic and barbaric method to forcefully attack four cities.
As for other methods, infiltration and sabotage will certainly not stop.
And if, Gu Jinlai, no one can defeat the lineup they've assembled...
What awaits them is undoubtedly more experts sent by the Cold Moon Sect.
"The main function of close-in weapon systems (CIWS) is to defend against missiles. Their range and destructive power are not significant. If we had multiple rocket launchers... with a range of tens of kilometers and a coverage area of millions of square meters, they would be far more effective than CIWS..."
Looking at the two targets detected by radar Gu Jinlai, one cannot help but feel a deep sense of regret.
Another day of regret for not reading enough books.
But...
We've already made contact with Blue Star, shouldn't we ask them for some more technical support?
If it's just about rocket artillery technology...
This inevitably affects the credibility of the "alien" identity.
Composing himself, Gu Jinlai turned his gaze to Gu Luochen and the others. "Next, let's make tactical arrangements. We will try to get as close to Sunset City as possible. However, whether they are Nascent Spirit Transformation or Spirit Refining, their senses are extremely sharp. We must be prepared to be discovered and engage in battle at any time."
"Yes."
Everyone present agreed in unison.
The group quickly approached.
However, just as Gu Jinlai, those who have reached the Spirit Transformation or the Spirit Refining are extremely sensitive to approaching crises.
Furthermore, the Cold Moon Sect anticipated that Lingxiao City would launch an attack soon and was on high alert. However, Gu Jinlai and his group were all heavily armored, making too much of a commotion.
When they were still a mile from Sunset City, a commotion was already heard from the city walls.
"Speed up! Up the city!"
Orders Gu Jinlai.
His body began to expand rapidly, and in an instant he manifested as a giant more than three meters tall.
The True Demon Body of the Great Sun.
Wearing Spirit Artifact armor, he was covered in a metallic sheen, looking like a mechanical giant from afar.
He carried two close-in weapon systems, each weighing several tons, in each hand, leading over a hundred heavily armored demon warriors, among whom the dozen or so leaders were carrying Gatling guns, charging at full speed.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The shouts echoed in all directions.
Especially in the senses of the Gu Jinlai, a faint but ripple-like energy spread out, and then, two high-energy divine thoughts located in the center of the city rushed into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
"Flying swords are coming!"
With a low shout, Gu Jinlai suddenly placed the close-range defense cannon in his hand on the ground, his True Spirit power surging, and he used all his strength to lock onto the two flying swords that were attacking him.
The two flying swords moved at different speeds.
The fastest flying sword was brimming with divine energy, burning fiercely like a flame.
As the divine sense burned, the speed of the flying sword rapidly increased, reaching speeds per second...
600 meters!
700 meters!
800 meters!
Nine hundred meters!
Even Gu Jinlai, Gu Luochen, and others outside the city could clearly hear the piercing whistle.
On the other flying sword, the divine sense fluctuations were also intensely boiling, but they left no trace in the void.
Not even a sound of something breaking through the air could be heard, as if it didn't exist.
However, under the "divine sense detection" perspective Gu Jinlai, it can be seen clearly.
The speed of this flying sword is also quite fast, reaching nearly 700 meters per second, twice the speed of sound.
Two flying swords, one in front and one behind, moved with stealth and attacked simultaneously, forcing Gu Jinlai to unleash their True Spirit power to its fullest extent.
The consumption of a large amount of True Spirit made the Close-In Weapon's "Life" aura even stronger.
Seemingly sensing the thoughts and ideas of the "True Spirit" entity, the "spiritual life" that constitutes the close-in weapon system also roused its fighting spirit and fully activated its own performance.
"Sizzle!"
A metallic scraping sound rang out.
The next moment, intense flames erupted from the eleven barrels of the close-in weapon system.
Dark Red rainbow of light shot into the void.
Target...
It pointed directly at the extremely fast flying sword, Ling Feng.
They seemed to realize that they had been discovered.
The flying sword in the void suddenly changed its direction, its shooting angle changing from a straight line to an arc.
It rapidly advanced through the hail of bullets fired by the close-in weapon system in an almost "S" shape, and its speed continued to increase during this advance!
Nine hundred meters! Nine hundred and thirty meters! Nine hundred and sixty meters! Nine hundred and ninety meters!
In the end...
The Lingfeng Sword's maximum speed broke through the 1,000-meter-per-second barrier.
Although his breakthrough efficiency was slower due to the change in route, the distance between the two was getting closer and closer under such terrifying sword speed.
1,000 meters! 800 meters! 600 meters! 400 meters!
In a hazy vision, one can almost see the white chasm formed by the flying sword tearing through the atmosphere, visible to the naked eye, Gu Jinlai.
"We can't stop them!"
Gu Jinlai have looked at this flying sword.
One close-in weapon system can't stop this flying sword!
It wasn't because the flying sword was so fast, but rather...
Flexible!
Flexibility that defies logic amidst change!
The initial "S" shaped turn was fine, but later on, the flying sword actually displayed a rapid "Z" shaped turn.
It does not follow the laws of physics at all.
Seeing that the flying sword was about to strike his body, Gu Jinlai's True Spirit erupted, and the second close-in weapon system, which had been activated to defend against the other flying sword, immediately opened fire.
"Sizzle!"
The sudden roar caught the Lingfeng Sword, which was flying at nearly three times the speed of sound, completely off guard.
Even though the white elephant behind him reacted extremely quickly and changed direction rapidly, the bullets still rained down like a storm, causing sparks to fly.
"Call out!"
The sword's edge spun swiftly!
The flying sword shot straight into the sky, accompanied by a shockwave, and burst out at nearly three times the speed of sound as it flew away.
After rushing for a thousand meters, it took the form of an inverted "U" shape and used the momentum of its descent to shoot again.
Speed...
It was not slow at all.
Not only that, at this moment, another flying sword shadow took the opportunity to approach Gu Jinlai by nearly two thousand meters.
Two flying swords, positioned at two different angles and carrying sharp, thunderous roars, shot towards them. If they were to strike together...
Even a body as powerful as a great Demonic Beasts could not escape being blasted to death by a single sword strike.
The key is...
Gu Jinlai, nothing can stop it!
He couldn't block both flying swords at the same time.
Even with both close-in weapon systems firing at full power, he could only watch helplessly as the two flying swords drew closer and closer!
1000 meters! 600 meters! 300 meters! 100 meters...
"Open!"
A low roar echoes through the Gu Jinlai.
Just as the two flying swords reached within a hundred meters of him, a dazzling divine light suddenly burst forth from his body, and a phantom of a great sun seemed to appear behind him, blazing and radiant, emitting boundless light and brilliance.
That is...
Eternal Divine Light!
What is a flying sword?
Spirit Artifact specially crafted to work with the Yin Spirit's envoy.
The essence of Spirit Artifact is "spirit"!
Eternal Divine Light is a soul secret technique specifically targeting the "spirit"!
It can not only annihilate Demonic Spirit, but also True Spirit!
That is, the soul!
Although the damage to the soul is not as effective as that of the Demonic Spirit, when this dazzling and brilliant divine light of the sun bursts out from the great sun behind the Gu Jinlai, the spirituality of both the Lingfeng Sword and the Shadow Sword is affected at the same time.
This influence caused the two Spirit Transformation cultivators to slightly disrupt the effects of controlling it.
In the ensuing chaos, the Lingfeng Sword, which had been flying thousands of meters into the air and descending at more than three times the speed of sound, was completely locked onto.
"Sizzle!"
Flames erupted.
The metal shell casings from the two close-in weapon systems cascaded down the ground like a waterfall.
"Bang bang bang!"
In an instant, Lingfeng Sword, which had once again charged back to within 300 meters of Gu Jinlai, was simultaneously hit by hundreds of bullets.
Even though the Lingfeng Sword was made of exceptional materials and had a sturdy blade, it was still torn to shreds under such a dense barrage of bullets, scattering countless iron filings.
Amidst the mournful cries of the white Yin Spirit attached to the Lingfeng Sword, these iron filings, propelled by their descent, surged and sprayed forth, stirring up dust in the Gu Jinlai area.
At that very moment, another silent, unseen sword, leaving no trace, struck Gu Jinlai.
The speed was so fast Gu Jinlai there was no time to draw his sword, and all he could do was lean his body slightly...
At the same time, the brilliance of the Great Sun Divine Light is brought to its fullest potential.
"Bang!"
The shockwave dispersed the debris.
The terrifying speed granted by the Yin Spirit's sword, combined with the power of the flying sword itself, crashed into the body of Gu Jinlai with a Gang Qi.
For a moment, Gu Jinlai felt as if he had been hit by an armor-piercing bullet.
The penetrating force and explosive damage erupted simultaneously at the point of impact of the flying sword, instantly tearing apart his super-heavy Xuan Steel armor, whose defensive capabilities rivaled those of a top-grade treasure armor.
The sword, sharp and piercing, penetrated further into the body of the Gu Jinlai, piercing through his shoulder blade, which had been reinforced multiple times and was as dense as refined steel, leaving a bloody hole the size of a bowl, before emerging from his back shoulder.
"Call out!"
The sword's edge has disappeared into the distance.
A bloody hole the size of a bowl!
It's still on the scapula, near the collarbone. For an ordinary cultivator, this kind of injury is equivalent to half of the shoulder being blown off, and even half of the neck being cut off.
Even a powerful cultivator like Spirit Refining True Person, who can instantly control every minute detail of their own being, would be in grave danger of death under such severe injuries.
But Gu Jinlai...
His 3.2-meter height made his body much larger than that of an ordinary person, and his Demonic Beasts physique was known for its amazing defensive capabilities.
Although the sword pierced his shoulder, the force it carried caused him to stagger back several steps, leaving several footprints on the ground.
But...
He persevered.
