Chapter 173: Energy Artillery Cannon
“Sanrob, don’t tell
you intend to defy orders?” The blond Ugly Ape’s gaze turned cold.
“Shester, do you really think missiles don’t cost money!” The one-eyed Ugly Ape, Sanrob, tossed aside the bone in his hand and said speechlessly, “Those strange humans are not that easy to kill, let alone capture alive.”
“The incident that just happened at Suiji Base, you’re not unaware. That place had the stationed force of an entire Ape Regint!”
“In the end, ten thousand ape soldiers, five hundred mortars, and three hundred armored vehicles were crushed head-on by a single human riding a giant ox.”
“Silei Base only has two thousand troops. You expect
to complete the mission?” Sanrob spat on the ground. “How is that any different from sending
to my death?”
“Very well. I just hope you won’t regret this later.”
Having uttered the harsh words, the blond Ugly Ape, Shester, turned around and prepared to leave.
‘Well? Should we strike?’ Seeing the two Ugly Ape commanders at odds, Ji Gang transmitted through divine sense.
“No rush. Wait until they are alone before striking. That way we can take their place and infiltrate the Ugly Ape high command.” Gu Tie smiled.
There were many thods to complete the survival retest mission. Only fools would fight head-on.
He and Ji Gang were both Ninth Level of Qi Refining cultivators. In secret, they killed two Ugly Ape soldiers, swapped identities, and successfully infiltrated Silei Base.
Next, all they needed to do was hypnotize the two base commanders, Sanrob and Shester, and they could silently control the entire Silei City. By leveraging the Ugly Ape clan’s power, they would survive a month, obtain an A-rank evaluation, and smoothly enter the Thirteen Immortal Sects.
But just then, an unexpected mist disrupted their plan.
‘You’ve got to be kidding , soone really wants to fight head-on!’ Gu Tie’s face turned extrely ugly.
‘Then what should we do?’ Ji Gang also couldn’t hold it together.
They had barely infiltrated the Ugly Ape military, only to be backstabbed by another examinee.
‘Observe for now.’ Gu Tie exhaled a turbid breath.
Though he cursed inwardly, he also knew few cultivators of the Immortal Alliance were fools.
Any cultivator daring to provoke an Ugly Ape planetary base head-on must be no ordinary figure.
If the two of them, just Ninth Level of Qi Refining, dared to show themselves, they might well be eliminated as competitors.
“Strange, how could Silei City have fog?” Shester frowned, raising his head toward the sky.
Silei was perpetually dry.
He had been stationed in Silei for twenty years without ever seeing fog.
All the more impossible given today’s climate.
“It is a little strange.” Sanrob stood up, picking up his mortar.
Seeing the one-eyed Ugly Ape pick up a weapon, Shester mocked, “Your courage grows smaller by the day, Sanrob.”
Just then, piercing alarms suddenly blared throughout the base.
‘No way!’
Shester and Sanrob seed to realize sothing, their faces changed drastically, and they quickly rushed toward the base command center.
“My heavens!”
“Soone can actually walk upon the air!”
Guided by the military radar, two thousand ape soldiers within the base took positions imdiately, their eyes locked on the faint figure in the sky, ready to unleash a storm of firepower.
Chen Beiwu, however, stood in midair, his gaze overlooking the insignificant base below.
‘Only two thousand ape soldiers? Too few—hardly even an appetizer.’
Chen Beiwu’s eyes sharpened. He urged the Companion Beast Seal, releasing Gold Egg’s innate spiritual art, Flood Dragon Might. Taking a step forward, he shouted lowly, “Suppress!”
Boom!!!
A thunderous roar erupted.
Though the figure in the sky had only taken a simple step, all two thousand ape soldiers in the base felt an indescribable terror pressing heavily upon their hearts.
Especially the five hundred ape soldiers on outer watch, closest to Chen Beiwu.
Their bodies all jolted, unable to withstand the pressure. Bones shattered with loud cracks, their bodies collapsed into sludge, bleeding from the seven orifices as they died.
The hundred ape soldiers inside armored vehicles fared slightly better—their eyes bloodshot, shrieking sharply as they lost control, firing upon comrades and collapsing many base structures.
Only the four hundred ape soldiers inside the base command center could resist most of the pressure, keeping their reason intact.
‘Could this be Foundation Establishnt pressure?’ Gu Tie’s heart skipped a beat.
What rotten luck! In the Immortal Alliance retest, he actually encountered one in ten thousand—a Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
Ji Gang’s face was pale. Looking at Gu Tie, he sent through divine sense: ‘What do we do?’
‘Keep watching. If worst cos, we’ll offer these two ape officers as a pledge.’ Gu Tie gritted his teeth.
anwhile, Sanrob and Shester stared at the figure on the giant screen, their hearts chilled, eyes wide with disbelief.
Oh, Ape God above!
What kind of monster was that?
Without even touching them, just a single step forward had slain or crippled most of Silei’s two thousand ape soldiers.
How could they possibly fight such a battle?
“Quickly, activate the base’s energy artillery cannon.” Shester turned to Sanrob. “If we don’t kill that monster, we’re all dead here.”
Sanrob drew a deep breath, suppressing the terror in his heart.
With slightly trembling fingers, he verified his identity and pressed the activation button of the base’s strongest energy artillery cannon, the [CJP-21000].
Boom rumble!
With the roar of engines, the base’s hydraulic supports hoisted the forty-ton energy weapon out of the ground.
Exhaust valves on the alloy base vented white steam, cooling ten thirty-milliter barrels.
The ten-barrel array completed self-diagnostic rotations, rifled grooves sparking as they aligned toward Chen Beiwu, locking onto him with automatic ballistic tracking.
At the sa ti, the ape soldiers in armored vehicles regained clarity, aiming their cannons at Chen Beiwu striding through the air.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The ten barrels spun at 8,000 rpm, spewing 42,000 armor-piercing rounds in two minutes.
Each bullet exceeded 1420 m/s, forming an inescapable flood of tal. The force shook heaven and earth, capable of shredding any carbon-based lifeform.
‘Will it work?’ Sanrob swallowed hard, eyes fixed on the dense white beams on the giant screen.
Those were electromagnetic-driven armor-piercing rounds tearing the air, forming thick smoke trails.
Soon, minutes passed. As the energy cannon fell silent, the smoke gradually dispersed—and the terrifying figure in the sky had vanished.
【Target Eliminated!】
Seeing the notification on the screen, blond Shester revealed a relieved smile. “Sanrob, I told you, before absolute firepower, humans are utterly weak.”
“Let’s hope so.” Sanrob wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The ape soldiers in the command center also sighed in relief, slapping their chests and letting out strange laughter.
‘Even a Foundation Establishnt cultivator can’t withstand the weapons of this planet’s technology?’ Gu Tie frowned slightly, feeling sothing amiss.
Granted, the thermal weapons developed by these Ugly Apes were comparable in power to Foundation Establishnt. But they should not have been able to kill a Foundation Establishnt cultivator outright.
‘Wait—why hasn’t the white mist dispersed?’ Ji Gang suddenly felt uneasy.
