On the Jiu Shan Sect side, Fan Shiji's eyes were still somewhat dazed.
He was using his mind to personally control a blood-transformation level Ironclad Corpse, running and leaping towards the enemy's position.
But then, a look of horror appeared on his baby face!
"What the hell is that thing?! An airplane?!"
The Blood Transformation-level Ironclad Corpse controlled by Fan Shiji was personally crafted by him, with steel plates embedded under its skin, so its defensive capabilities are self-evident.
But once it was targeted by that strange-looking machine, it was shattered in less than 5 seconds.
"Such terrifying machinery, who on earth is this?!"
Fan Shiji had barely uttered a curse when a rain of steel and fire appeared on the horizon!
He hurriedly shouted, "Disciples, quickly go to the Sutra Repository to take refuge!"
This is where the sect's classic texts are kept; it's built extremely sturdily, essentially a reinforced concrete fortification.
Some of the quick-thinking disciples had already taken cover inside, while the rest rushed towards that spot.
However, the incident happened so suddenly that someone emerged from the secluded meditation room with a bewildered expression.
Others rushed back to their dwellings, snatched out treasures, materials, elixirs, and other valuables, and carried them towards the Sutra Repository.
People are often inexplicably confident, especially in places they've lived for decades, where their sense of security becomes so strong that they lose their judgment.
Death soon descended from the sky, and these people paid the price.
Steel Rain, consisting of 152 rockets and 6 artillery shells, crashed down, followed by a series of violent explosions that filled the sky and spread across the land.
Several ancient and magnificent palaces were blown away on the spot, and many disciples were torn to pieces by the shockwave or riddled with shrapnel.
Without a complete blood transfusion, they simply couldn't withstand the damage from the explosion, resulting in heavy casualties for the Jiu Shan Sect.
However, the buildings on the mountaintop suffered minimal damage.
Missiles and shells also fell on the mountaintop, and even on the Spiritual Spring Hall.
However, Sect Fan Chengxun stood on the roof of the hall, raised his hand and shot out beams of light blue swords, shattering the incoming objects in mid-air.
After an unknown amount of time, the series of violent explosions gradually subsided, and the second round of firepower ended.
After the dust settled, all that could be seen were the craters of the Jiu Shan Sect, with only the Spiritual Spring Hall, the Sutra Repository, and the Zhengfa Hall on the mountaintop remaining relatively intact.
Fan Chengxun stared blankly into the distance, meeting Lu Li's gaze from over ten kilometers away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Lu Li turned his attention to their greatest enemy.
A heavy-fire strike would be too disruptive, and things could easily get complicated if the night dragged on. It wouldn't be good if it attracted the attention of someone like the Governor. It's better to finish this quickly.
While the rocket launchers were being loaded, Lu Li summoned back all his flying swords.
Just like humans, intense battles take a huge toll.
He took out the Spiritual Jade Pot and distributed the remaining five Great Heavenly Cycle True Qi within it equally among the six flying swords.
The sword blade visibly shone brightly, as if it had been polished on the spot, and the flying sword trembled excitedly!
But that wasn't all. Lu Li took out his snuff bottle, took a sniff, and then focused ninety percent of his attention on his flying sword.
In an instant, the six flying swords received a tremendous boost, truly becoming as sharp as tofu when cutting through iron!
Lu Li glanced at the Kunlun Mirror in his Sea of Consciousness again, silently instructing it to prepare itself, for this was his biggest trump card.
Once everything was ready, Lu Li first issued instructions to the fire support positions:
"After this round of firing, we will load missiles, as well as Shinshin rockets and artillery shells."
[Understood~]
Xiao Cha that the puppets had all taken out their Mind Cannonball and were ready, Xiaocha immediately understood what her man meant.
This means a real battle is about to begin... The leader of the Jiu Shan Sect!
Having grown up hearing terrifying legends about it, Xiao Cha couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
However, seeing the rocket launcher slowly aiming, I regained my confidence!
"This thing is really weird..."
No sooner had Xiao Cha finished her remark than she witnessed the spectacular sight of rockets being launched.
With a series of violent whooshing sounds, the Steel Rain once again fell on the heads of the Jiu Shan Sect.
On the drone's remote control screen, bursts of earth and rocks erupted, stirring up towering dust that obscured the drone's view.
The Jiu Shan Sect was ravaged once again; even the large number of tiled houses where servants and lower-ranking disciples lived were torn up.
Fan Chengxun continued to fire his lightsaber to protect the mountaintop, but with over 150 explosives, it was inevitable that some areas would be missed.
The Zhengfa Hall, which launched the Divine Steel Thunder, was hit by a rocket and a cannonball, leaving two huge holes in the magnificent palace, which was the size of a football field, and it slowly collapsed.
After the attack was completed, the puppet immediately reloaded its ammunition according to its master's will.
Lu Li piloted three helicopters and flew towards the Jiu Shan Sect.

In the Sutra Repository
Fan Shiji felt the earth shaking outside and saw the steel object flying in from afar through his Heavenly Eye. Suddenly, he thought:
"Strange and powerful firearms and machines—were these also made by the Izumo Emperor? If the People of Izumo... could it be that the Governor has requested troops from Izumo?!"
The more I think about it, the more likely it seems!
The Governor and his mistress have been eyeing their own sect's [Spiritual Vein].
Especially those despicable people from the Huashan Sect, their jumping around and their despicable faces are extremely hateful, they are entirely capable of doing such a thing!
"You've miscalculated!"
Although they are currently hiding in fortifications and dare not show themselves, the essence of the sect remains.
Fan Shiji glanced around; the four disciples had already taken out an object shaped like a finger bone.
Lu Li must find this thing very familiar, but it's just a disposable device.
Fan Shiji then drew the "Bone Flying Sword" from his waist, which was a genuine magical artifact.
The disciples were filled with shared hatred and high morale.
The source of this confidence was not his own cultivation level or magical artifacts, but rather... the head of the Jiu Shan Sect! A high-level cultivator who was about to Manifestation!
Although he felt slightly unwell, his fighting ability was actually stronger.
With the help of the [Spiritual Vein], it shouldn't be difficult to force back a Grandmaster with a golden body.
This was also the unanimous opinion of many disciples.
At this moment, the sound of helicopter rotors can already be heard.
"Now!"
Fan Shiji took the lead, and together with his four disciples, launched the projectiles they were holding.
Five bones, one large and four small, shot towards the Attack Helicopter at Mach!
The aim is not to harm the enemy, but to create opportunities.
~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Li here naturally to challenge Fan Chengxun to a decisive battle.
Flying at an altitude of 500 meters, Lu Li slowed down when he approached a distance of 2 kilometers.
Sure enough, five white bones shot towards us!
The easiest way right now is to use the [Kunlun Mirror] to devour them all, and your own treasure will also benefit from the nourishment.
But Lu Li didn't do that. Instead, he had a thought and sent his flying sword to meet the attack.
Xia Weijun once mentioned that the Jiu Shan Sect also had "Fan Wencheng's thigh bone," which posed a significant threat.
Lu Li wanted to eliminate him by trickery, but if he revealed the wonders of the [Kunlun Mirror] too early, Fan Chengxun would be prepared.
At this moment, the flying sword had already met the five white bones.
Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared, and all four finger bones were instantly severed in two, falling from the sky.
Fan Shiji's White Bone Sword clashed with the "Mountain Breaker Sword," and a large chunk of it was knocked off amidst a Mars of sparks, almost breaking in two!
The difference wasn't originally this big; this is precisely the boost from true qi!
However, the fact that the flying sword could not travel more than a mile per second also revealed that Lu Li's cultivation level was not high.
Fan Chengxun raised his hand and pointed, a golden light flashed in the air!
A flying sword crafted from a leg bone appeared in the air, emitting a faint golden light.
Fan Chengxun shrank back and instantly merged into the flying sword, demonstrating the technique of merging body and sword!
With this blessing, its power will certainly be considerable.
With a deafening roar, the Golden Bone Sword unleashed a sonic boom, accelerating to 1000 meters per second in the blink of an eye, instantly arriving right in front of Lu Li!
"Good timing!"
This is exactly what Lu Li has been waiting for!
