Fierce Battle

Birds are not good at fighting.

Just like the vulture, the most powerful bird of prey in the aviation world, would be killed in a single strike if it were to fight the tiger, the most powerful tiger on the ground.

Demonic Beasts that transform into birds are no exception.

Among the high-ranking avian Demonic Beasts, even a mid-ranking avian Demonic Beasts is no match for a mid-ranking avian demon in a direct confrontation. Under such circumstances, no avian Demonic Beasts can withstand the armor-piercing rounds fired from an 85mm cannon.

Dozens of large Demonic Beasts- level flying birds merely added a cloud of blood mist to the void.

The roar of machine guns and the spray of flames lasted for a moment.

Crimson blood and glorious achievements stained the surface, the three-headed black bird fighter jet did not hesitate for a moment, and once again pounced on the even larger number of flying Demonic Beasts behind it.

Because of their incredible speed, the birds had already pounced and attacked thirty miles away by the time the Black Bird fighters caught up with them, placing them at the forefront of the life radar's detection range.

In this situation, when the three Xuan Bird fighter jets soared into the night sky with a roar, and confronted the horde of flying Demonic Beasts at the edge of the sky, everyone could clearly see that the red dots on the large screen detected by the life radar were dimming at a visible speed.

Especially later on, three straight lines will suddenly appear from the hundreds of red dots that are superimposed together.

Three straight lines without any red dots.

It's like someone taking an eraser and rubbing it three times on a piece of paper covered in red marks, erasing all the red dots from the erased area.

"Is this the power of the Xuan Bird fighter jet?! Even Primordial Spirit True Lord's efficiency in killing Demonic Beasts is probably no better than this."

"The two are different in nature. Primordial Spirit True Lord usually sacrifices his Primordial Spirit, carrying a flying sword. Once the energy on the flying sword is exhausted, he must return to his body and launch a second round of attacks. However, the Xuan Bird Fighter can keep attacking as long as the cannon ammunition is not exhausted."

"In the future, we Celestial Masters will also be able to control such powerful weapons of war and soar through the skies like the Primordial Spirit True Lord!?"

Si Tianyan and Zhang Yukun in the command room had longing in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Gu Jinlai, who controlled three Xuan Bird fighter jets with his True Spirit, was constantly performing various special skills in the void that would kill countless pilots on Blue Star, cutting and hunting down the Demonic Beasts and birds around him time and time again.

Bullets whistled through the air...

To be precise, it should be called "the whistling of artillery shells".

The bullets fired from the aircraft cannon were no less powerful than anti-tank shells fired from artillery.

Often, a burst of fire would tear Demonic Beasts into a bloody mist.

In his True Spirit possession state, the three Xuan Bird fighter jets are like an extension of his body, and he can clearly perceive every "touch" of the jets.

The high temperature generated when friction occurs with air.

The air blast formed when clouds are cleaved apart.

The pressure of inertia during a sharp turn.

The release of energy during sudden acceleration.

Every feeling clearly surfaced in my mind.

If he were willing to increase the consumption of his True Spirit, this perception could become even more acute.

Just as humans are limited by their eyesight when looking into the distance, this ability to observe can be extended further when they use their True Spirit or spiritual awareness, just like using a double, quadruple, or eight-fold scope.

"Carefree!"

Thoughts have flowed Gu Jinlai.

The Xuanniao fighter jet was more powerful than he had imagined.

Without needing to be equipped with various hypersonic missiles, the Xuan Bird fighter jet already possesses the ability to hunt down any Nascent Primordial Spirit True Lord.

In fact, after this actual combat, he even developed a series of modification plans for the Xuanniao fighter jet.

The most important thing is the materials.

Because the fighter jet is piloted by True Spirit, increasing the proportion of spiritual materials would definitely increase the speed of the Xuan Bird fighter jet even further.

By then, let alone six times the speed of sound, eight times, ten times, or even more than ten times will not be a pipe dream.

"I feel like I've transformed into a silicon-based life form right now!"

After slaughtering all the flying Demonic Beasts Gu Jinlai, the three Xuan Bird fighter jets simultaneously turned rapidly and charged towards the numerous great Demonic Beasts that were charging towards them.

Soon, the two or three hundred strongest Demonic Beasts who charged the fastest appeared in his "field of vision".

With a thought, a dazzling flame shone in the darkness.

"Da da da da!"

A shooting star.

It was as if beams of laser light, visible to the naked eye, were shooting down from the void.

Sparks flew as the bullets rubbed against the air, piercing the bodies of the large Demonic Beasts who couldn't dodge in time, splattering out crimson blood mist.

Some bullets hit the ground, sending up dust and rocks several meters high, making the area look as if it had been bombed by live ammunition.

"Roar!"

A series of piercing and painful screams immediately rang out from the mouths of the many great Demonic Beasts.

With a single sweeping volley, more than a dozen large Demonic Beasts were killed by the aircraft cannons.

There were dozens of injured.

However, Demonic Beasts are known for their tenacious vitality, let alone great Demonic Beasts.

The lower and middle-ranking Demonic Beasts were fine, screaming in pain. But the middle and upper-ranking Demonic Beasts who had condensed their immortal Demonic Beasts bodies were healing at a visible speed, no matter how bad their wounds were. Some upper-ranking Demonic Beasts who had achieved minor success in their immortal demon bodies even managed to squeeze the bullets that had been blasted into their bodies out within a few breaths.

The Demonic Beasts with the indestructible demonic bodies that are biased towards defense withstood the 85mm cannon shells. Apart from some minor cuts and lacerations, a round of strafing could not even affect their speed of advance.

This scene left Gu Jinlai with some regret. "The cannon kinetic energy of the Xuan Niao fighter jet is ultimately a bit weak. It would be great if it could be replaced with an electromagnetic cannon that can fire projectiles at ten or more times the speed of sound."

He controlled the three Xuan Bird fighter jets to dive and prepare for another round of strafing.

But at this moment, in his True Spirit state, he seemed to sense something.

The next moment, at the edge of his "vision," a red light flashed from the back of the upright Crocodile Dragon King. The red light advanced layer by layer, eventually concentrating in the mouth of the Demonic Beasts king, forming a blood-red pillar of light that tore through the sky, sweeping straight toward the Xuan Bird fighter jet.

"Not good!"

With lightning-fast reflexes Gu Jinlai controlled the fighter jet as it sped away.

The nuclear-powered engine was operating at full power, and as it spewed out azure flames, its speed increased dramatically.

Even so, the crimson beam of light still swept past the side of a Xuan Bird fighter jet.

Amidst flames and a roar, the right wing of the Xuan Bird fighter jet was crushed into fragments and shattered.

"It's the Crocodile Dragon King's innate divine Divine Ability!"

Expressions have changed Gu Jinlai.

The most powerful aspect of the Crocodile Dragon King is that it has developed a ranged attack Divine Ability.

This Divine Ability is said to be able to shoot targets as far as four or five miles away.

Although its power decreases with distance, even Celestial Person cannot gain much advantage against it thanks to this Divine Ability.

With its power system disrupted, the Xuanniao fighter jet's flight was significantly affected, and it appeared to be about to crash to one side.

Gu Jinlai immediately activated the Void Stone used for vertical takeoff and landing, forming a force field that lifted the fighter jet and made a sharp turn, flying towards the direction of Lingyuntian City.

The other two Xuan Bird fighter jets also quickly increased the distance between themselves and the Crocodile Dragon King.

However, they did not retreat; they continued to roam the perimeter, hunting down Demonic Beasts that were outside the Crocodile Dragon King's attack range.

Under the relentless pursuit of the two Xuan Bird fighter jets, the Crocodile Dragon King had no choice but to allow the great Demonic Beasts to move a little closer, so that it could also attack the Xuan Bird fighter jets while they attacked the great Demonic Beasts.

This scene, witnessed by Gu Jinlai, caused a glint to flash in his eyes.

The main body, located in the combat command center, immediately ordered, "Pass on the order! Have the first to eighth squads conduct a saturation bombardment of the area at coordinates 634 and 421!"

"Yes!"

The eight squads that received the order quickly adjusted their angles.

Cheng Wanli and the others immediately realized something. "This is... the location of the Crocodile Dragon King?"

"Huh? Those great Demonic Beasts seem to have gathered together?"

"Blackbird fighter jets! It was the Blackbird fighter jets that drove them away!"

Everyone quickly realized what was going on.

And then...

It's time to test the effectiveness of righteous heavy artillery in breaking through defenses.

Eight squads, with a total of sixty-four heavy cannons, fired simultaneously, the deafening roar accompanied by a sharp whistle cutting through the sky, echoing throughout Cloud City.

At the location of the True Spirit of the Gu Jinlai, sixty-four shells could be clearly seen creating visible sparks as they rubbed against the air, before finally crashing into the area where the Demonic Beasts were located.

"Boom!"

Flames and explosions suddenly erupted in the center of the Demonic Beasts.

Those mid-level Demonic Beasts who had cultivated an indestructible demonic body and were impossible to kill even by the Xuan Bird fighter jet's machine guns were instantly blasted to pieces by the bombardment, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Even those high-ranking Demonic Beasts, as long as their indestructible demonic bodies weren't on the defensive side, were still blasted with huge, visible holes.

Some of the holes are over two meters in diameter, and inside you can see not only bones and flesh, but also churning internal organs.

Such an injury would render even a powerful high-ranking Demonic Beasts powerless, and it would take three to five days for them to recover.

Only those high-ranking Demonic Beasts with immortal demon bodies that leaned towards defense managed to withstand the cannon fire, even though their flesh was torn to shreds.

Observe carefully from Gu Jinlai.

Unless such a powerful Demonic Beasts is hit by a dozen or so cannonballs in a short period of time, it can at most be seriously injured and is unlikely to be killed directly.

The Demonic Beasts are incredibly resilient.

If even a high-ranking Demonic Beasts is like this, one can only imagine how the Demonic Beasts King must be.

The Crocodile Dragon King was inherently Demonic Beasts king who was not good at speed and was more inclined to defense. The cannonballs that hit its body were not entirely ineffective, but the damage was...

But it's not even worth a laugh.

It's nothing more than a minor cut on the skin, causing a little bleeding, for an ordinary human being.

No need to go to the hospital, a few band-aids will do the trick.

This result left Gu Jinlai with a somewhat solemn expression.

Moreover, the great Demonic Beasts is much faster than the ordinary Demonic Beasts.

Despite the fact that sixty-four heavy cannons were deployed to bombard them, and two Xuanniao fighter jets were strafing them from the outside, they ultimately failed to stop their advance.

After paying the price of hundreds of corpses and dozens of severely injured Demonic Beasts, the remaining hundreds of Demonic Beasts finally appeared in the sight of the people of Yuntian City.

Especially the Crocodile Dragon King at the very front, roared and charged forward, each step it took causing the earth to shake.

Seeing this, Gu Jinlai had no choice but to recall the Xuanniao fighter jet.

"The real test for us has now begun."
