Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1460 640: Sparing Your Lives (Part 2)

It's just that the paper bird that Dongtan Shi'er was riding was incredibly agile. The giant stone was thrown towards it in less than a second, but the paper bird simply flapped its wings lightly and moved several meters away, easily dodging the stone's impact!

At this moment, Liang Butong certainly wasn't willing to stop, continuously flicking his red whip, repeatedly lifting giant stones and throwing them into the air. Unfortunately, no matter how much strength he exerted, Dongtan Shi'er and his large paper birds were still two hundred meters away from him. This distance was enough for Liang Butong's thrown stones to take nearly half a second to reach them, giving Dongtan Shi'er and his paper birds plenty of time to easily evade Liang Butong's attack!

After a few seconds of Liang Butong's continuous assault,

Dongtan Shi'er in mid-air sneered again, "Hmph, the so-called Body Refining Technique of your Blood Cloud Sect can only do so much. Once we distance ourselves from you, you're helpless! Now, it's time for you, Liang Butong, to witness the terrifying power of the Ghost Servant Technique combined with heat weapons!"

After saying that, Dongtan Shi'er rapidly changed his hand signs to form a special seal,

while the four paper birds on his left and right let out a long cry, each grabbing hundreds of pounds of aerial bombs in their claws, charging towards Liang Butong on the ground!

From the high altitude of two to three hundred meters, the speed of the heavy objects increased as they fell, enhancing their power, considering they were aerial bombs weighing hundreds of pounds! The most deadly part was, during their dive, the four paper birds flapped their wings desperately to accelerate, making their descent even scarier! This descending charge was as fast as the stones Liang Butong threw at them, even though Dongtan Shi'er was slightly less advanced than Liang Butong, who was nearly at Tier Three Early Stage!

On the ground, Liang Butong, whose legs and feet were immobilized by seven or eight transparent paper figures, saw this situation and didn't dare to waste time. He continuously flicked his red whip, lifting one giant stone after another at extreme speed, hurling them at the charging four paper birds and the aerial bombs in their claws!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

The sharp sound of the air being cut apart echoed in the sky!

Liang Butong's defense was not in vain,

Within a very short time, among the many giant stones he flicked with his red whip, three managed to hit three pale white paper birds, also striking the aerial bombs they were holding!

"Boom, boom, boom"

Three loud explosions sounded one after another!

In mid-air, air ripples carried a mass of smoke and bomb shrapnel, spreading in all directions!

Those were aerial bombs weighing hundreds of pounds, and their explosive power was several times greater than ninety-nine percent of artillery shells. Under this kind of air burst, the power was equally astonishing, compressing the surrounding air within a kilometer range, creating visible air shields that quickly spread outward. If ordinary soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom were within a kilometer, they wouldn't be harmed by the bomb fragments but would be severely injured by the terrifying shockwave!

And in that instant, before the blast wave from the three aerial bombs dissipated, another intense explosion sounded. A massive and terrifying shockwave spread from Liang Butong's position—taking advantage of his strength close to Tier Three Early Stage, he managed to deal with three descending paper birds holding aerial bombs in a critical moment. However, this time, he faced an assault from four birds!

Liang Butong dealt with three, but one pale white paper bird holding an aerial bomb ended up near him!

In this life-threatening crisis, Liang Butong suddenly rallied all his True Qi, condensing it to his head and upper body, then lashed out with his red whip at the pale white paper bird and the aerial bomb within five to six meters distance!

The pale white paper bird was obviously unable to withstand the full power of Liang Butong's strike, and was directly shattered by the whip. The aerial bomb, as a result of the strike, exploded violently!

At a distance of five to six meters,

the power of the hundreds of pounds aerial bomb explosion was almost akin to a face-to-face blast!

At this range, such a close-range bomb explosion would likely tear apart the armor, even of an armored vehicle or cause significant damage to a tank!

Although Liang Butong managed to elevate his strength to nearly Transcendence Tier Three through the Blood Cloud Technique, the defensive capability of the Transcendence Tier Three was still inadequate to ensure complete safety in such a terrifying explosion!

After that horrifying explosive shockwave spread, and as the pervasive smoke cleared,

the place where Liang Butong stood was utterly charred,

and the Blood Cloud Sect's cultivator Liang Butong, despite managing to protect his upper body and head with ninety-nine percent of his True Qi, was still severely injured, crumbling to the ground!

Out of the seven or eight transparent paper figures that originally bound Liang Butong's body, five had already been damaged, yet the remaining three still managed to completely bind the heavily injured, charred, bloodied, and tattered Liang Butong!

At this point, although Liang Butong hadn't completely lost his life, he was hanging by a thread, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood, with pieces of internal organs mixed within!

Clearly, the close-range explosion of an aerial bomb weighing hundreds of pounds was not something that a cultivator at the early stage of Transcendence Tier Three could withstand merely with True Qi or physical resilience. Even someone like Lin Xuankong at Tier Four Early Stage wouldn't dare to withstand such a close-range assault from an aerial bomb, or else he would undoubtedly suffer severe injuries!

In mid-air,

from atop the pale white paper bird, Dongtan Shi'er looked at Liang Butong, who had been heavily injured by the aerial bomb on the ground, and then sneered,

"Liang Butong, I admit, your Blood Cloud Technique cultivation is indeed formidable, allowing you to reach power very close to a Tier Three Immortal Venerable. If it were a real battle of Immortal Techniques, I might indeed have to fight you to a draw, being helpless against you! But it's a pity, oh what a pity, that it's not decades ago anymore. The so-called technology in today's world has advanced greatly, and the power of these aerial bombs made by those so-called scientists can even rival the full power strike of a late-stage Tier Four Immortal Venerable!"

"And even if you, relying on the Blood Cloud Technique, are incredibly close to an early-stage Tier Three Immortal Venerable, how could you possibly withstand the full power strike of a late-stage Tier Four Immortal Venerable!"

On the ground, Liang Butong, who was coughing up blood and badly swollen eyes, was staring intensely at Dongtan Shi'er in the sky. However, at this moment, he was already severely injured, hanging by a thread of True Qi to sustain his life, had no energy left to argue with Dongtan Shi'er!

Seeing that Liang Butong didn't even have the energy to speak, Dongtan Shi'er became even more smug, sneering coldly:

"Heh heh, Liang Butong, Liang Butong, having contended for decades, the pleasure of personally ending your life today really makes me happy! But don't worry, after your death, your body will be properly utilized; surely it can be used to make powerful transparent paper figures!"

After saying that, Dongtan Shi'er gestured to the rear,

several kilometers away, a large number of armored vehicles, tanks, and thousands of soldiers from the Ai Clan's Invincible Corps began to move toward the first defensive line, having halted initially.

In mid-air, Dongtan Shi'er then gazed toward the soldiers on the first defensive line of the Great Yan Kingdom, and summoned his True Qi, shouting loudly:

"Today, my Ai Clan's Invincible Corps is conquering this place. Anyone who resists shall meet the same fate as Liang Butong, sure to be executed!

But I, Dongtan Shi'er, always cherish all life and dislike wanton killing, so I now give you thirty seconds to consider! Within thirty seconds, lay down all your weapons, crawl out of the trench and fortifications, and surrender obediently. Swear allegiance to the Ghost Servant Sect and the Ai Clan in the future, and I, Dongtan Shi'er, will command my Invincible Corps to spare your lives!"
