Intercepting the Flying Sword (Ten Updates Complete)

"Stone sinking!?"

"The Council of Elders has been slumped!?"

"A Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator from the Purgatory Sect!?"

The name the girl announced sent a jolt through everyone present.

Stone sinks.

It is said that no birds fly over the mountains.

When he advanced to the Spirit Transformation, he released thousands of birds in a mountain forest to cultivate the sword control technique.

He stood atop the mountain with only his sword for a month, and not a single one of the thousands of birds was able to fly out of the forest.

Therefore, it earned the title of "a place where no birds fly in a thousand mountains".

The Gu Clan, from which Gu Chifeng and others came, was located in Red Wind City, Chi Province, which was under the jurisdiction of the Purgatory Sect.

Therefore, they knew the renowned figures of the Purgatory Sect very well.

Currently, such powerful figures only exist in stories and legends...

They actually appeared alive and well right in front of them, and possibly even from an enemy position...

"Ancestor, we..."

Gu Chifeng's gaze immediately fell on Gu Jinlai.

"It seems this elder has come for me."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Good."

The girl responded calmly, "Gu Jinlai, you have committed the grave offense of killing our sect's elders. If you surrender now, sincerely repent, and go to my master to kowtow and beg for mercy, you may still have a glimmer of hope. Otherwise... the day the flying sword falls will be the day you die."

"That's quite a grand gesture."

There have been some surprises Gu Jinlai.

The fourteen layers of Karma do not represent absolutes.

When the time comes, you will still encounter Spirit Transformation cultivator.

As for the fact that a powerful cultivator from the Purgatory Sect came to kill him, he took it for granted.

What's the most important thing when cleaning house?

Deterrence.

Let those in the Purgatory Sect who harbor disloyalty see clearly the consequences of betraying the sect.

In this situation, the only way to deal with him, a Gold-Robed Elder, is to send out a Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator to crush the traitor with overwhelming force, thus setting an example for others.

"Ancestor, run! Let's hide, the farther the better!"

Gu Chifeng immediately stepped in front of Gu Jinlai, speaking urgently.

"Hide?"

Gu Jinlai estimated the distance between himself and Yuanhua City.

Six miles.

It was completely within the range of a Spirit Transformation cultivator's flying sword.

If he retreats...

The flying sword will probably arrive soon.

Moreover...

There's no way you can guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days.

So, is this a war we have no choice but to fight?

"Remember, you only have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

The girl said coldly, then turned and left.

"Ancestor..."

Before Gu Chifeng could speak, Gu Jinlai interrupted him with a gesture, "Let's go, let's meet this Elder Shi Chen."

He strode forward.

Gu Chifeng, Gu Luochen, Gu Qingmei, and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the determination in each other's eyes.

"Spirit Transformation Grand Cultivator".

"Flying sword..."

"Even if we die, we will die before our ancestor."

The three men and seven other Gu Clan disciples, each carrying a "Thunder" Gatling gun, followed closely behind Gu Jinlai, heading towards Yuanhua City.

The remaining people followed closely behind, pushing wagons loaded with supplies and ammunition.

Before long, the city walls of Yuanhua City came into view.

However, Gu Jinlai stopped on a high ground about three miles away from Yuanhua City.

"This is it."

As he spoke, he turned around, walked to a carriage, and opened it.

Then, he picked up a close-in weapon system that was almost as tall as a person and placed it in front of him.

"Whether it works or not depends on this one time."

Gu Jinlai that the spirituality within the body begins to boil and condense.

Just like back in the Akiyama Cave.

Having learned from his previous experience, it didn't take long for him to condense his True Spirit and skillfully integrate it into the close-in weapon system.

"Just as countless steam condenses into water droplets, the essence of the Yin Spirit is a highly integrated form of divine thought. By capturing divine thought, one can capture the Yin Spirit."

The vision in people's hearts has been clear Gu Jinlai.

However, it is undeniable that this is a field he has never been involved in before.

Previously, whether it was Kyonling gunpowder, Kyonling high-carbon steel, Kyonling "Thunder" Gatling gun, or Kyonling close-in weapon system, there were physical examples that could be used as references.

This time, however, he acted like a true celestial master, creating something out of nothing, and relying entirely on his imagination to give the close-in weapon system, which originally had no such function, the ability to capture divine thoughts.

"Let me see where the limits of the Celestial Masters sect are."

"Buzz!"

All the True Spirit from Gu Jinlai have merged into the close-in weapon system. In an instant, this close-in weapon system seemed to transform from an inanimate object into a living being once again.

Inside the city.

Shi Chen waited quietly.

As someone just reported, Gu Jinlai is heading in this direction.

From this perspective, he is a pragmatic person.

His willingness to give Gu Jinlai a chance was roughly in line with Lin Xiao's guess.

Gunpowder.

This strange object is quite powerful.

Although the destructive power is only so-so for the Spirit Refining Elder, or even the Core Forming Protector, if you are careful, you will almost never be killed by the explosion.

However, on the battlefield where armies clash, large quantities of gunpowder can have extraordinary effects.

Therefore, he decided to see what the maximum production capacity of this strange object was.

If production capacity is still acceptable...

From now on, let Gu Jinlai be a slave to the Purgatory Sect.

Even if I have to make artifacts until I die, at least I'll be alive, right?

"As I get older, I become more kind and compassionate."

Shi Chen smiled slightly.

At this moment, Fang Ling appeared outside the courtyard. "Master, from Gu Jinlai... we stopped three miles away from the city wall."

In short, Shi Chen's smile froze.

His gaze gradually turned cold.

"Bold."

He uttered two words softly.

However, these two seemingly ordinary words evoked in Fang Ling a sense of impending bloodshed and carnage.

"Has the incense stick burned yet...?"

Shi Chen said, but then seemed too lazy to wait any longer. "It's hard to persuade a damned fool with kind words. Why should I waste my time on him?"

As for gunpowder?

For centuries, countless Daoist priests have tried to find a way out, but what has been the result?

The harvest was meager.

Gu Jinlai, the most that a Daoist master has ever practiced is only two years old. The gunpowder he developed may have some miraculous properties, but how miraculous can it be?

Ingenious techniques.

That is what mortals pursue.

He sank the stone, and shattered it with a single sword stroke.

"Buzz!"

In a hazy vision, Fang Ling outside the courtyard seemed to see a phantom figure emerge from Shi Chen's body and disappear into the Cold Feather Sword.

The next moment, the Cold Feather Sword, which had been lying peacefully in his arms, trembled slightly and floated up as if it had a life of its own, standing in the void.

"Go."

Shi Chen uttered a single word.

The Spirit Artifact flying sword suspended in the void suddenly accelerated, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing from Fang Ling's sight in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a white shockwave exploded from the direction where the flying sword disappeared, accompanied by deafening thunderclaps.

"Master has drawn his sword!"

A glint of fervor flashed in Fang Ling's eyes.

"This is..."

Outside the courtyard, Lin Xiao, who was about to report some intelligence to Shi Chen, suddenly turned to the void where the white waves had exploded. "It's the Cold Feather Sword!"

Elder Shi Chen's Frost Feather Flying Sword!

He drew his sword!

For Gu Jinlai stopping three miles outside the city, refusing to move forward. This behavior exhausted their patience, and without waiting for the time limit of an incense stick, they drew their swords!

The Cold Feather Sword was drawn...

"Those Gu Jinlai are destined to die!"

Lin Xiao spoke with absolute certainty.

Although the deaths of people from Gu Jinlai might cause him to miss out on the Jade Slip, he believed that as long as he investigated patiently, he would definitely gain something.

Moreover...

With the elder's flying sword drawn, everything is now set in stone.

"Call out!"

The flying sword pierced the sky.

He cruised at supersonic speed and shot towards the direction where Gu Jinlai and the others were.

The clouds in the void parted, as if a white ribbon had been drawn out.

"Beep beep beep beep!"

Gu Jinlai, who had attached his True Spirit to the close-in weapon system, suddenly sensed a strong sense of crisis.

A piercing sound came from the close-in weapon system's instruments nearby.

The lights are flashing.

"Flying swords are coming!"

Gu Jinlai, people have suddenly opened their eyes wide.

Spirituality surged.

True Spirit Enhancement.

The close-in weapon system's radar rapidly searched, and invisible waves spread in all directions at the speed of light.

In an instant...

These "lights" seemed to have illuminated something, and reacted at an extremely fast speed.

This reflective object...

"Flying sword!"

At the same time, a red dot appeared instantly on the close-in weapon system's control screen and shot towards it at a speed of 600 meters per second.

A few seconds...

That sword light has appeared in the field of vision, Gu Jinlai.

With his unparalleled Movement Method, he couldn't dodge such speed.

But...

There's no need to hide.

The close-in weapon system's radar locked onto the sword light imbued with divine intent, and the fire control system began operating at full speed.

With a twist of the barrel, the angle was rapidly adjusted.

The next moment...

"Sizzle!"

Flames burst forth.

The 1130 close-in weapon system spewed out a burst of brilliant flames, and a laser-like barrage of bullets rapidly intercepted the flying sword that was shooting towards it.

Countless metal shell casings cascaded down like a waterfall, spilling across the ground.

Faced with this torrent of metal, the supersonic flying sword slightly changed its position.

However, as its position changes, the angle of the gun barrel also changes autonomously under the fire control system.

"Stop them! Stop them! You must stop them!"

Gu Chifeng, Gu Luochen, and Gu Qingmei seemed to have guessed something, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

The spirituality Gu Jinlai was also stimulated to the extreme, doing everything possible to capture the position of the flying sword and provide data support for the aiming system.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds...

2,400 meters, 1,800 meters, 1,200 meters, 600 meters...

Closer! Closer! Even closer!

Unexpected!

The sparks exploded.

"Bang bang bang!"

The flying sword, which had penetrated to within 500 meters of the close-in weapon system at supersonic speed, was suddenly struck by a barrage of bullets, bursting out streaks of visible fire, accompanied by the scattering of surrounding divine energy fluctuations.

They stopped them!

Gu Jinlai, this has greatly inspired people's spirits.

"Sizzle!"

The sound of metal rubbing against metal echoed through the void.

More bullets rained down the moment the flying sword paused after being hit.

Each flying sword is made of precious metals, but most of them are spiritualized in the direction of sharpness, lightness, and mystery, rather than sturdiness.

Under the relentless barrage of this metallic storm, the flying sword that had broken through to within Gu Jinlai could no longer withstand the onslaught.

"Ah!"

Faintly, a shrill, painful scream came from the flying sword.

Accompanied by streaks of fire and meteors, it was torn to shreds by the barrage of bullets, scattering metal fragments that were propelled out in a fan shape by inertia.

The close-in weapon system's roar abruptly ceased.
