Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1474 - 647: Sweeping the Battlefield (Part 2)
Previously on Cultivation System: Stronger with Age...
Since he had already assisted the Great Yan Kingdom, Lin Xuankong’s character dictated that he should help to the end! Especially with regard to the ravaging Ai Race Division, Lin Xuankong had long been holding a grudge in his heart. The reason, besides the plight of the pitiful citizens he saw in Qingyuan City that moved his heart, was this Ai Race and the other six nations’ invasion of the Great Yan Kingdom, reminding him of memories from more than ten thousand years ago, sparking thoughts of rectifying regrets.
Several hours later,
outside an ancient city in the southwest of Jee Province,
Lin Xuankong stood atop a small hill, looking into the distance.
This ancient city was built on a plain, supposedly lacking any natural defenses, but fortunately, a wide river flowed past the front of the ancient city, blocking the western advance of the Ai Race Division. Across the wide river were three stone bridges, and at each stone bridge to the west, nearly a thousand Great Yan Kingdom soldiers fought the Ai Race Division’s soldiers, hoping to prevent their seizure of the bridges.
However, the ancient city’s garrison was not as well-equipped as the garrison at Chaokou Pass; most soldiers wielded rifles incapable of automatic fire, requiring them to shrink back into the trenches to reload after each shot! The opposing Ai Race Division soldiers were far more advanced, each equipped with semi-automatic rifles, and several dozen armored vehicles staccatoed the Great Yan Kingdom’s forces.
Under the strong firepower of the Ai Race, the garrison stationed west of the three bridges suffered continuous casualties; each minute saw several Great Yan Kingdom soldiers fall in the trenches under the fierce fire...
After observing briefly, Lin Xuankong furrowed his brow. With a long howl, his figure transformed into a black phantom, charging toward the fiercely contested battlefield.
This long howl was issued from the True Qi activated by the Blood Spirit Technique, naturally distinct from ordinary cries. In an extremely short time, it spread throughout the battlefield, drowning out the sounds of gunfire, artillery, hand grenade explosions, and soldiers’ cries of anguish!
Instantly,
a majority of the Ai Race soldiers and Great Yan Kingdom garrison turned their surprised gazes towards Lin Xuankong’s direction.
Seeing Lin Xuankong’s silhouette streak across like a phantom dragon, swiftly approaching the battlefield, soldiers and officers on both sides appeared aghast.
The Ai Race division wasn’t led by cultivators, and the Great Yan Kingdom’s local garrison had even less chance of being assisted by ’Immortal Venerables,’ so, witnessing Lin Xuankong’s terrifying charging speed, soldiers and officers on the battlefield were surprised, stunned, and some were at a loss for what to do!
Seconds later, when Lin Xuankong was about to reach the engagement point, he once again activated his dense True Qi from the Blood Spirit Technique, and shouted sternly:
"Demon Dongtan Twelve from the Ai Clan’s Invincible Corps has already been slain by me, and the entire Ai Clan’s Invincible Corps has been completely defeated. This is the outcome of invading the Great Yan Kingdom! The Ai Race soldiers and officers here face the same ultimatum, if you continue the assault, you will end up like Demon Dongtan Twelve!"
Many guarding soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom, upon hearing Lin Xuankong’s words, first showed surprise, then a glimmer of hope on their faces.
Because they clearly understood, without reinforcements, they could only defend for ten minutes at most, and once the Ai Race Division’s armored vehicles broke through the mines and obstacles, they would have to retreat, destroying the three ancient bridges built over seven or eight centuries! Yet even if they retreated and demolished those three bridges, it would only temporarily hinder the Ai Race Division’s advance, given that as soon as the enemy’s engineering team rebuilt the bridges or established pontoon bridges, the fall of this ancient city would commence!
Despite their reluctance, they had to admit, no matter their efforts now, it seemed the outcome was destined; this ancient proud city would eventually fall into the hands of the invading Ai Race division!
However, Lin Xuankong’s presence at this moment, was a ray of hope. Even the most slow-witted could discern from Lin Xuankong’s terrifying running speed, that this black-clad man in motion defied ordinary limits... even the strongest warriors in tales couldn’t run at such speeds!
The reaction from the Ai Race Division was different,
many Ai Race soldiers hesitated slightly upon hearing Lin Xuankong’s haughty call, but nearly a tenth of them turned their guns towards Lin Xuankong and began shooting, and about ten armored vehicles trained their machine guns on him and started firing!
Seeing the response from the Ai Race Division, Lin Xuankong’s face turned cold, his steps suddenly quickening as he charged fiercely toward the division’s position.
In the midst of this charge,
countless large caliber bullets from the rifles, capable of easily puncturing a human body,
and those machine gun bullets from the armored vehicles, capable of blasting an ordinary person into two pieces,
whistled sharply towards Lin Xuankong in dense waves!
Yet what shocked every Ai Race soldier was that, despite hundreds shooting bullets from their rifles, and tens of armored vehicles firing machine gun bullets, as they reached about one hundred meters from Lin Xuankong, the incoming black-clad figure, all suddenly veered off course, drawing pronounced arcs and bypassing the charging black figure!
That’s every minute tens of thousands of rifle bullets, each minute thousands of powerful machine gun bullets failing to hit this black figure!
All soldiers of the Ai Race Division witnessing this scene screamed incredulity in their hearts, then continued their frantic shooting and magazine swapping!
But no matter how frenzied the shooting from hundreds or thousands of Ai Race soldiers got, no matter how the machine guns from tens of armored vehicles roared, the charging black-clad figure remained unscathed, not a single bullet hitting him, not even grazing the hem of his attire!
On the other side, many Great Yan Kingdom soldiers were looking at this miraculous scene, dumbfounding them into speechlessness.
After just over ten seconds,
Lin Xuankong finally relied on his terrifying sprint speed to reach near a dozen armored vehicles!
Then, within mere seconds, the armored vehicles that had been roaring and firing flames and bullets from their machine guns all transformed into steel cubes, quietly lying there, while the Ai Race soldiers and officers inside were naturally crushed into debris.
With a wave of his hand,
within a few seconds,
he transformed a dozen well-manufactured armored vehicles into steel chunks!
This scene indeed carried a tremendous impact!
Already at the Chaokou Pass battlefield, when Lin Xuankong deployed this technique, both Ai Race and Great Yan Kingdom soldiers had witnessed Immortal Venerable Liang Butong and Demon Dongtan Twelve’s ’Immortal’ techniques. Even so, seeing Lin Xuankong reduce all tanks and armored vehicles to steel chunks in a single gesture, the officers and soldiers at Chaokou Pass were still profoundly shocked!
Not to mention that all Ai Race soldiers and Great Yan Kingdom guards at this ancient city hadn’t seen truly powerful cultivators!
Lin Xuankong didn’t grant the Ai Race soldiers any respite, having dealt with all Ai Race Division armored vehicles, he charged again towards the thousands of Ai Race Division soldiers!
Upon nearing these Ai Race Division soldiers, Lin Xuankong waved his right hand, immediately, within a vast range of several tens of meters, all the steel rifles, machine guns, and submachine guns held by Ai Race Division soldiers transformed directly into small steel cubes!
After Lin Xuankong charged around the vicinity of all Ai Race soldiers in this division, all of their weapons had transformed into steel cubes, rendered unusable!
