Xuan Niao Attacks
The sound of gunfire filled the air.
Demonic Beasts are also transformed from intelligent and civilized Demonic Spirit.
They know fear and are terrified; some well-constructed Demonic Beasts can even communicate with humans through language.
An intelligent race could not remain indifferent to such staggering battle losses.
"Roar!"
As the terrifying, Godzilla-like creature that stood upright at the rear of the procession, over twenty meters tall and nearly twenty-five meters long including its tail, roared, an elite force composed entirely of great Demonic Beasts quickly emerged from the surging tide of Demonic Beasts.
This force numbered two to three hundred, and they marched toward Yuntian City at nearly twice the speed of the Demonic Beasts army.
Two or three hundred great Demonic Beasts!
This includes dozens of mid-level, and even more than ten high-level Demonic Beasts.
What a terrifying force this is.
That's not all; some of the Demonic Beasts that were originally hidden in the torrent of Demonic Beasts spread their wings and soared into the void.
These were clearly some avian Demonic Beasts.
Bird- Demonic Beasts are often less formidable in attack and defense than land-based Demonic Beasts; even three or five high-ranking Demonic Beasts might not be able to defeat a single Primordial Spirit True Lord.
Therefore, the number of avian Demonic Beasts has always been relatively small.
But when these flying Demonic Beasts soared into the void, as many as six or seven of them spread their wings and covered a distance of ten or even dozens of meters.
As for those birds with wingspans of around ten meters, there are hundreds of them.
At this scale, it would be easy to surround and kill one or two Primordial Spirit True Lord who were flying in the air on swords.
Moreover, the fact that these Demonic Beasts originally hid themselves away shows that their purpose was to launch a surprise attack on the human True Lord when he was off guard.
Faced with the relentless and frenzied bombardment of 128 sharp sword cannons, the Demonic Beasts had no choice but to make a similar decision to Longxiao City: to gather their elite forces and destroy the artillery positions.
Even the flying Demonic Beasts originally intended to fight against the Primordial Spirit True Lord were dispatched, traveling at speeds of five or six hundred kilometers per hour, with the leading high-ranking Demonic Beasts reaching subsonic speeds as they rushed straight towards Cloud Sky City.
"The Demonic Beasts have split up their forces!"
"Two hundred and eighty-four red dots, some of which were already lit, are rushing towards Yuntian City at full speed. Judging from the intensity of the red light displayed on the radar, there are sixteen high-level Demonic Beasts, fifty-nine mid-level Demonic Beasts, and two hundred and nine ordinary Demonic Beasts. It is still uncertain how many of the mid-level and high-level Demonic Beasts have cultivated the indestructible demon body."
"The avian forces have been mobilized. There are indeed avian forces among such a large number of Demonic Beasts. They actually held back and did not send them out in the Crocodile Dragon Swamp battle? If the Crocodile Dragon King had sent out the avian Demonic Beasts forces back then, Yellow Heaven Sect would probably have lost one or two True Lords."
In the command room, the voices of Cheng Wanli, Zhang Yukun, and others rang out.
Looking at the red dots that were significantly faster, Gu Jinlai calmly said, "It is perfectly reasonable that the Flying Bird Force did not participate in the Crocodile Dragon Swamp Battle. The Demonic Beasts attacked Yellow Heaven Sect only to eliminate future troubles. Their real target has always been us."
"Ancestor, unlike Dragon Ascension Mountain, this time, in order to maximize the effectiveness of the artillery, they are almost all positioned in the best vantage points. Once these flying Demonic Beasts charge down..."
Gu Chaoyang's expression carried a hint of worry.
They have no anti-aircraft firepower.
The only thing that could be called anti-aircraft firepower was the close-in weapon system, which had been developed by the Celestial Masters after they went deep into the production area of the Gongling. There were twelve of them.
But the twelve close-in weapon systems faced hundreds of flying Demonic Beasts charging at them...
They may not be able to withstand it.
"It's alright."
Looking at the red dot above, whose fastest speed barely exceeded the speed of sound, Gu Jinlai calmly said, "Leave it to me."
Why do Demonic Beasts rarely transform into birds?
Why was Primordial Spirit True Lord able to fight against a large number of avian Demonic Beasts?
It's because their flying swords are much faster than those of the great flying Demonic Beasts.
Of course, the speed at which the Primordial Spirit True Lord fly on their swords is also not fast; very few can reach the speed of sound. Once the flying Demonic Beasts can break through the interception of the Primordial Spirit True Lord's flying sword and engage in close combat, the Primordial Spirit True Lord will only face death.
This is why the flying Demonic Beasts either don't move at all, or when they do, there are hundreds of them.
Only in this way can we achieve results.
Send only ten or eight great flying Demonic Beasts, or even high-ranking great flying Demonic Beasts, to attack a top-tier force with three or four, or even five or six Primordial Spirit True Lord.
That's suicide.
"What awaits us now is a tough battle. Gu Chaoyang, Elder Zhang, Elder Si, you will take over command for now. Do not call me unless there are important decisions to be made."
This Gu Jinlai.
"Yes."
Gu Chaoyang, Zhang Yukun, and others agreed at the same time.
The next moment, Zhang Yukun and Si Tianyan, who were extremely sensitive to spirituality, realized that the True Spirit from Gu Jinlai seemed to have split into three, traversing the void and heading straight for the three Xuan Bird fighter jets that were parked outside the combat command room.
This kind of supernatural...
"True Spirit possesses him!? Simultaneously activating three Spirit Artifacts!?"
Zhang Yukun and Si Tianyan both showed uncontrollable astonishment.
How sophisticated is their understanding and application of the True Spirit?
"Is the Ancient Lord... about to activate those three war Spirit Artifact?"
Cheng Wanli couldn't help but glance outside.
Although the close-in weapon system and the Sharp Sword heavy cannon are not small in size, they are still a step behind the three Xuan Bird fighters outside.
He was also filled with curiosity about the power of such a war Spirit Artifact.
Under his gaze, and that of many of the demon god's guards, Gu Jinlai, having completed his True Spirit possession, seemed to merge with the three Xuan Bird fighter jets.
No start button is needed.
With a thought, blue flames shot out from the rear of the Xuan Bird fighter jet's engine.
Each fighter jet used a Void Stone and was inscribed with levitation runes.
The force field released by a Void Stone is limited and cannot allow the Xuan Bird fighter jet to float in the void for a long time like a floating island. However, by stimulating the spirit and overclocking the power of the Void Stone, the Xuan Bird fighter jet can achieve vertical take-off and landing.
Furthermore, due to the short duration, it will not have a significant impact on the Void Stone, and a single Void Stone has a lifespan of thousands of uses.
As the three Xuan Bird fighter jets took off simultaneously, blazing blue flames erupted from their tails as they accelerated rapidly.
In less than three seconds, the three Xuan Birds, like true celestial beasts, soared into the void, carrying blue flames.
This scene made Cheng Wanli and many of the demon god's guards' eyes light up.
"A flying Spirit Artifact! This is a flying war Spirit Artifact!"
"We now have air power! We no longer need to worry about the Primordial Spirit True Lord using his flight advantage to suppress us from the air."
"Black Bird! Black Bird! This is the guardian beast of our Lingxiao City!"
The demon god's guards watched, their hearts filled with pride and a sense of honor.
"Boom!"
The Xuan Bird fighter jet, soaring into the void, suddenly accelerated, breaking the sound barrier in an instant, and disappeared into the night sky with a deafening roar.
As True Person Spirit Transformation, Cheng Wanli immediately summoned his Yin Spirit upon hearing the familiar sonic boom, intending to chase after it and investigate. However, as the Xuan Bird fighter jet accelerated, its speed quickly soared to more than three times the speed of sound, leaving his Yin Spirit behind in an instant.
This speed...
This deeply shocked the mind of this Spirit Transformation cultivator.
The sharp swords and heavy cannons far surpass the flying swords of Spirit Transformation cultivators in both power and range. Their appearance will replace and eliminate Spirit Transformation cultivators.
The Xuanbird fighter jet can not only fly, but also has such a high speed?
Once these fighter jets are mass-produced, will the Primordial Spirit True Lord...?
They too will be replaced and eliminated!?
For a moment, Cheng Wanli, a Spirit Transformation cultivator who followed the most traditional path, couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The times... have truly changed..."
"Boom!"
Fighter jets roared!
Three Blackbird fighter jets formed a squadron and flew across the night, tearing grooves into the clouds.
Nuclear fusion engines provide fighter jets with a near-infinite energy supply, so that even when they accelerate to four or five times the speed of sound, they do not consume much energy.
In this situation, before the Xuan Bird fighter jet could accelerate to its maximum speed, the fastest rushing Demonic Beasts had already appeared in the "sight" of the Gu Jinlai world.
"Very good."
A glint of light flashed in his Gu Jinlai.
With a thought, the three Xuan Bird fighters under the control of the True Spirit were like three sharp swords, rushing straight towards the fastest-flying high-ranking Demonic Beasts.
The only weapon mounted on the Xuanniao fighter jet—two cannons over two meters long with a caliber of 85 millimeters—immediately roared to life.
Only then did those high-ranking avian Demonic Beasts vaguely sense the oppressive roar coming from ahead, and immediately let out warning cries.
But before they could react in any other way...
The firelight flickered.
The enhanced aircraft cannons opened fire at full power.
"Da da da da!"
A streak of flames shot into the array of dozens of flying Demonic Beasts in an instant.
Compared to close-in weapon systems (CIWS), this aircraft-mounted machine gun, specifically designed to deal with Primordial Spirit True Lord and even Celestial Person, may not have the same rate of fire as CIWS, but its power is much greater.
Furthermore, the new type of close-in weapon system uses specially designed armor-piercing shells, which can significantly damage even high-ranking Demonic Beasts who have cultivated the Undying Demon Body, let alone birds whose attack and defense are far inferior to those of creatures of the same level!
Under the flames, the fastest-charging but largest of the high-ranking Demonic Beasts were torn to shreds, letting out shrill and painful screams.
Several of the large Demonic Beasts seemed to have locked onto the Xuan Bird fighter jet, roaring as their fur emitted a metallic sheen. Then, like arrows shattering the void, they shot towards the Xuan Bird fighter jet at full speed.
Pity...
Too slow.
These shooting iron feathers were even slower than the flying swords launched by a Spirit Transformation cultivator, at most only reaching twice the speed of sound.
The Xuan Bird fighter jet, controlled by Gu Jinlai, pulled up and easily avoided the barrage of pear blossom needles. Then, it performed an inverted "U" maneuver, turned, and swooped down again.
"Da da da da!"
A dazzling burst of fire erupted once again from the two aircraft cannons in front of the three Xuanbird fighters.
With its massive 85mm caliber and a firing rate of nearly 300 rounds per minute, it instantly tore through the ranks of these powerful Demonic Beasts, unleashing a bloody storm.
In just a few exchanges, six high-ranking avian Demonic Beasts, fourteen mid-ranking Demonic Beasts, and twenty low-ranking Demonic Beasts were torn to shreds.
From beginning to end, the Demonic Beasts couldn't even touch a single metal shaving from the Xuan Bird fighter jet.
This...
It was like a massacre.
The slaughter of birds and Demonic Beasts by modern technology.
