Chapter 406: 406. Replay the Pipa
Eight F22 fighter jets roared through the sky at high speeds, the moisture in the air condensing into a sonic boom cloud around their wings.
They never ca within 50 kiloters of Lu Yao, only skirting around and launching missiles to harass.
Lu Yao was about to use his flying sword to settle these flies when he suddenly rembered—the Pipa Charm hadn’t seen action for a long ti. It was a good opportunity to warm up, to avoid being flustered when facing a strong enemy.
He imdiately spat out the Pipa Charm, glowing with radiant light, and held it in his hand.
It was at that mont that Lu Yao sensed a threat rapidly approaching from below!
Looking down on the boundless sea below him, the missile tubes of a Burke-class destroyer opened one by one.
Billowing smoke and flas erupted as four “Standard-2” hypersonic missiles soared into the air, whistling towards Lu Yao’s position.
The missiles had a flight speed of 2.5 tis the speed of sound and were expected to hit the target in 10 seconds.
These were shipborne missiles, several tis more powerful than the air-to-air missiles carried by the fighter jets.
The fighter jets also launched missiles at this ti.
A total of 12 missiles from the air and sea intended to use dense firepower to obliterate the target!
“So these fighter jets also have the task of using infrared detectors to lock on to ,” Lu Yao thought.
Lu Yao sat leisurely on the dragon’s head, not the least bit flustered, the Pipa already in hand, ready for a song!
The overwhelming force of the Mind Force from the Divine Manifestation poured into the cherished instrunt as a rendition of “Waves Sifting Sand” vibrated forth!
The bass strings clattered like heavy rain, the urgent sound of the Pipa echoing through heaven and earth, audible even to the pilots in the jets 50 kiloters away.
One should know that the cockpits were soundproofed, and the pilots were wearing specialized helts and tactical headsets, which should have made it impossible for them to hear outside sounds.
“What’s that sound! Did you guys hear it?”
“It’s the sound of a Pipa, a strange Pipa lody.”
“Why is there the sound of a Pipa!?”
As they shared their confusion over the channel, sudden bursts of noise blared over the radio!
One of the fighter jets, previously flying smoothly, suddenly seed to be struck by sothing, emitting a piercing tallic tearing noise.
The pilot, startled, could only instinctively hug his head, but by the next second, the jet was already disintegrating in mid-air.
“Mayday mayday! A friendly has been shot down!”
“What the hell! We’re under attack! Ah!!!”
“All the missiles have been shot down too!”
At that mont, one could see the 12 blazingly fast tail-flad missiles being sequentially shot down.
And the pilots saw clearly what was attacking them—
Many swallow-shaped invisible blades appeared in the air, as transparent as chunks of ice, but still visible under the sunlight.
It was these that had destroyed the missiles and the airplanes, and they even had tracking capability!
The pilot leading the squadron witnessed firsthand as one of his wingn, although having made evasive tactical maneuvers, was still pursued and hit by an invisible blade, his wing chopped off, leaving him to spiral powerlessly into a fall.
While the sound of the Pipa still filled his ears, he suddenly realized, “It’s the Pipa! These blades appeared along with the sound of the Pipa!”
Unfortunately, this revelation was of no use whatsoever.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Yao went all out from the beginning, unleashing the full power of the invisible Pipa blades.
He had always kept the Pipa Charm as a trump card, rarely used. Finally, he enjoyed playing it thoroughly.
As Lu Yao plucked the strings rapidly, rows upon rows of invisible blades scattered in all directions.
These blades, carrying the power of the Mind Force, were like drones programd with set instructions, cutting towards their targets at twice the speed of sound. They were extrely powerful—a direct hit could cleave a whole fighter jet in two.
The incoming missiles were the first to be blasted apart, followed by the eight F22s.
The fighter jets were cleaved in midair one by one, turning into neatly edged parts, so clean-cut that it attested to the sharpness of the sonic blades.
With the last leading jet chopped into several pieces by the invisible blades, the sky quieted down, leaving only parachutes gently descending.
Lu Yao stopped playing the pipa and, without caring about the ejecting pilots, patted the Golden Dragon’s horn and continued flying toward his target.
The coastline was already in sight from afar.
~~~~~~~~~~
At this mont, the ti left for the Star Alliance Country was running out.
In the command room, the expressions on the faces of several high-ranking officials were looking rather grim.
General Rams from the Defense Departnt, as the military representative, should have been urgently issuing further instructions, and most people in the command room were looking at him.
But he remained silent, instead turning his gaze toward the representative from the Foreign Affairs Bureau—Vice Director Hogan.
Hogan stood up and said,
“According to intelligence assessnts, conventional weapons have beco ineffective against the target. Dr. Reynold has repeatedly recomnded the use of high-yield nuclear bombs to eliminate the adversary… Three minutes ago, you obtained authorization from the President and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”
With that statent, a military officer with the rank of Major walked over carrying a briefcase, the infamous “nuclear football.”
General Rams’ eyes twitched imperceptibly.
Utilizing nuclear weapons would inevitably have a severe impact on the entire situation on Blue Star, not to ntion on their own soil.
The person issuing the order would inevitably bear all responsibility. Not only would their career co to an end, but there was also a high probability of ending up in jail.
“These son of a bitches!”
General Rams seethed with rage internally; it was clear that they were making him assu the responsibility!
“When did the Star Alliance Country beco like this!”
Just then, a female military officer responsible for intelligence work suddenly said,
“The target has entered our national airspace. Based on its trajectory, his destination is the Derek Biological Laboratory.”
Hearing this, no one in the room showed any sign of surprise. They all knew Lu Yao had an unpleasant history with Dr. Reynold, and it seed likely he was going there for retribution.
General Rams felt a surge of relief and said with a stern face and raised tone,
“Since we know the enemy’s target, we can fully set a trap and wait for the prey! There’s no need to resort to nuclear bombs; the military has more suitable weapons!”
Not having to drop nuclear bombs on their own territory naturally pleased everyone—after all, they had the general to take the fall.
Vice Director Hogan also nodded in approval and then sat back down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Originally, Lu Yao thought that he would have to fight upon landing and it would take so effort to locate Reynold.
But it seed the Star Alliance Country had given up the resistance, allowing him to approach the biological laboratory’s location in Derek City, Mali State, without any obstruction.
Moreover, when he arrived, the biological laboratory was already sealed off, with the 1200-acre campus empty and silent.
But there was a group of internet celebrities and journalists with various equipnt blocking the entrance.
Lu Yao retracted the Willpower Golden Dragon and leapt down from mid-air, creating a large crater with a thunderous crash upon the ground.
Dust and small stones flew in all directions, but the internet celebrities and journalists rushed over without the slightest hesitation for an interview.
“Mr. Lu Yao, have you co to destroy the Derek Biological Laboratory?”
“There’s a rumor that your good friend suffered from ‘brain control’ tornt. Is this the reason for your visit?”
…
The biological laboratory was quite infamous here. At least 7000 Star Alliance Country’s own soldiers had been exposed as having been used for biochemical weapon trials.
The “brain control” program was even more notorious, with many civilians suffering from ntal disorders used in brainwashing experints.
Its reputation was equivalent to combining Professor Yang’s electrotherapy center and Yuzhang Academy and then raising it to the power of 100.
When word spread that Lu Yao was coming here to demolish the place, the citizens of the Star Alliance Country truly wept for joy.
Lu Yao revealed a warm smile, and said to the caras,
“The reason for my visit is similar to the rumors. Next, I will seek justice for those who have been hard.”
