While dealing with Kuki Ryuichi, the monster’s main body had finally drawn near.
Lu Yao turned the turret around, readying to serve it with cannonballs and a flathrower, but the man with the high crown struck first.
He rapidly strumd the glowing, colorful pipa, the thick strings clattering like heavy rain—the urgent pipa music resounded.
The visible soundwaves swept through the air at high speed, forming sharp projectiles that bombarded the tank with clangs, as dense as rain pelting on banana leaves.
They actually produced nurous cuts on the tank, each about 3 centiters deep and nearly half a ter long!
The cuts were dense and crisscrossed, mostly concentrated on the turret.
That wave of attack was terrifying in its effect! Anything less than the Innate Realm, no matter how many, would have been minced.
But the tank only swayed a few tis, and aside from light damage to the outer armor, it was largely unscathed.
Seeing that his attack hadn’t worked, the man with the high crown plucked the pipa strings again—this ti with a sound as sharp as tearing silk, resonating powerfully through heaven and earth.
A visible white, spindle-shaped sonic wave ford, instantly bombarding the tank’s turret!
With a loud clang, everyone inside felt the tank shake violently, and a terrifying gash 10 centiters deep was gouged out of the turret!
The enemy seed to have targeted the turret as the "critical weakness," attacking it repeatedly.
Little did they know that this was the thickest area of the tank’s defense—the front armor of the turret was 280 milliters thick, and the sides were 180 milliters!
Although not penetrated, the large cut still caused so damage, and Liao Ya anxiously said, "The machine gun is destroyed!"
Lu Yao reassured, "It’s alright. Sister, help load the cannonballs next."
"Understood." Liao Ya picked up the nearly one-ter-long cannonball, ready to load at any mont.
The efficiency of a martial artist in loading ammo was much faster than that of an autoloader!
~~~~~~
At this mont, after consecutively launching soundwave attacks, the man with the high crown was recuperating.
Lu Yao turned the turret, preparing to return the favor. Enjoy new adventures from empire
The monster was huge, making it especially easy to aim at. With a deafening roar, a cannonball was fired.
The man with the high crown still countered with pipa music, but this ti the sound was much weaker, lacking the previous earth-shattering penetration.
Though the cannonball exploded in mid-air from the pipa music, it had traveled much closer to its target.
Lu Yao imdiately noticed the weakening music and shouted, "Sister, load as quickly as possible!"
"Got it!"
The siblings cooperated exquisitely—
As soon as Lu Yao pressed the firing button, Liao Ya stuffed the cannonball into the chamber, completing the reload in just 2 seconds, sharply increasing the firing rate!
With an "automatic loader," it would have taken 7 seconds to complete the loading, but with Liao Ya, the process only required 2 seconds!
The main gun of the tank fired every two seconds in a frenzy, cannonballs whistling out of the barrel.
The pipa music grew weaker and weaker, the cannonballs ca closer to the monster’s main body, and with the last explosion, it was within the blast radius!
Lu Yao shouted, "Sister, depleted uranium shells!"
Liao Ya promptly switched to the sharply tipped shells.
After a muffled sound, the shell was fired. A spent casing as long as an arm was ejected with an eye-watering brilliance, and she hurriedly loaded another, continuing in this cycle.
The siblings’ tacit coordination saw the barrel turning red-hot from the rapid-fire.
With the exceedingly strong armor-piercing performance of the depleted uranium shells, the defenses of the man with the high crown were finally breached!
The pipa music faded to its limit, powerless to fend off wave after wave of cannonballs hamring into the monster’s body!
The monster’s body was even more resilient than tal, but the massive impact caused the "uranium" inside the shells to burn at a temperature of 6000 degrees, releasing extre heat.
The monster seed to have swallowed a burning coal, its body slowly turning orange-red as it hastily shed its ignited tissue.
The high-crowned man seed to realize he was in a life-or-death mont and forcibly plucked the strings to propel the music.
But what was heard was "the delicate strings whispering like private conversation," this ti not causing physical damage, but targeting the divine soul.
The family inside the tank only felt dizzy and bloated, as if thousands of people were whispering in their ears.
It was just like the feeling when deciphering the "Bitter Cultivation and Enlightennt Sutra" while wearing a Tri-Protective Suit, exactly the sa!
Fortunately, the tank’s tri-protective capabilities were only stronger. The burst of music was ineffective and didn’t even interrupt the siblings’ seamless cooperation.
Liao Ya quickly reloaded, and Lu Yao fired fiercely, sending a white phosphorus shell into the monster’s body.
The Depleted Uranium Shells had been used up, but the effect of the white phosphorus shells would only be better.
Fire and smoke broke out all over the monster’s body as it struggled and twisted in madness, evidently on the brink of defeat.
But just then, an accident occurred. After Lu Yao fired a shot, with a roar, the tank’s barrel suddenly exploded!
It turned out the siblings’ cooperation was too in sync, firing too quickly, causing the barrel to overheat in a short ti... and the breach exploded.
Lu Yao shouted, "It’s okay, the monster won’t hold out either! Peipei—drive over and hit it! Don’t let it recover!"
"Understood!"
Li Pei turned the direction and floored the gas pedal, charging the tank towards the monster!
The monster had been hit by at least 30 cannonballs and was now at the end of its tether, wriggling and struggling, trying to extinguish the flas on and within itself.
As soon as they were in range, Lu Yao also deployed the flathrower, spewing out a fire dragon!
At this mont, the monster stopped attempting to save itself and instead charged forward desperately.
It collided fiercely with the tank, all its tentacles and limbs entwining with it.
The tank creaked under the stranglehold, and tentacles kept lashing out, the dull thuds rging into one continuous sound.
But the tank only shook and slid sideways continuously, and apart from so weaker spots in the armor being slightly dented and deford, there was no significant damage.
Inside, the family was completely unhard, Lu Yao wielded the flathrower, and the three sisters clenched their fists to cheer him on.
At first, the monster could wrestle with the tank, but then it was pushed backward until it finally fell to the ground, struggling helplessly.
By then, it had been completely ignited, like a red-hot piece of coal, glowing red.
Lu Yao stopped the flathrower, and Li Pei also stopped the tank.
The group watched through the observation ports as the monster struggled in its dying throes, the blaze filling the cabin with an orange hue.
A while later, the monster stopped moving completely.
It looked like charred wood, occasional gusts revealing spots of fiery red.
At this ti, under the fleeting return of consciousness, the high-crowned man seed to regain a hint of awareness, looking around with confusion, murmuring to himself.
This scene was familiar—in Jinling’s Heavenly King’s Mansion, Hong Renkun had looked the sa before his death.
Lu Yao, wanting to gather more information, climbed out of the tank and approached softly, saying, "Lu Sheng?"
The high-crowned man turned his head upon hearing his na, muttering, "Xu Fu... Xu Fu... Xu Fu!"
He kept saying "Xu Fu," each ti with deeper hatred, as if harboring an imnse grudge.
Lu Yao then asked, "What happened with Xu Fu?"
Lu Sheng spoke intermittently, "Reporting to His Majesty... Xu Fu... harbors ill intent..."
After uttering this sentence, he turned to char and beca motionless.
The monster’s body also turned to char, then slowly crumbled into a pile of black ash.
A breeze seed to blow through the Underground Palace, brushing away the black ash to reveal a red-hot bronze cauldron and a luminous, extraordinary pipa.
