Chapter 160: Activate the Nuclear Warhead!
On one hand, appearing openly from the border and proactively declaring their origin can showcase their confidence.
On the other hand, among all the cities discovered, except for the large city with eleven Fourth Realm experts, this fortified border city is the largest and has the most martial artists!
This is also because the battle with Xue Yu gave him a sense of urgency, making him not want to establish his position slowly as he did in the Wu Region.
Not to mention, he does indeed possess such strength at this time.
Then what is there to be timid about?
If you want to be stuffed to death, you have to be bold!
The Fourth Realm demon beast that Shen Xing chose was even the one closest to that border city! Separated by only about one hundred and fifty to sixty kilometers, a Fourth Realm expert would definitely be able to sense the battle!
That’s right, this is an open and aboveboard show of force!
The war chariot was flying rapidly above the clouds, and three warplanes silently appeared in the high sky. As soon as they appeared, they were flying at high speed, closely following the war chariot.
One of the H-24 transforming warplanes had already been refueled and was at full capacity.
The other two were new warplanes that Shen Xing had purchased using his lieutenant-level authority. They were M-13 models, which were purely aerial support warplanes. They were a bit slower than the H-24, but they were larger, had more firepower, and had more abundant energy reserves. Even the cannons of the same scale as the H-24’s main cannon were equipped with two of them.
Plus a main cannon with even greater power! Theoretically, there was indeed a possibility of killing a Fourth Realm giant beast.
Its price was almost more than double that of the H-24.
Even for ordinary Third Realm martial artists, this price was enough to make their hearts ache, and it was even difficult to bear.
This is also why not many martial artists would buy warplanes to hunt giant beasts of higher realms—it was completely not worth the cost.
But Shen Xing didn’t care. Bringing this kind of weapon to the other world would easily allow him to earn back his investment.
Soon, they crossed a large area of natural mountains and arrived at the place where the Fourth Realm demon beast’s reaction had been detected earlier.
This Fourth Realm demon beast was probably only at the early stage of the Fourth Realm. Its Yuan Power quality was much weaker than the Fourth Realm giant beasts on the Lunar Battlefield. This was also probably related to the lack of violent characteristics in this world’s Yuan Qi.
At this time, Shen Xing had also seen the original appearance of this demon beast on the detection system.
It looked somewhat like a rhinoceros, but it had no horns. Its outer shell was covered with hard, thick scales. Its size was at least thirteen or fourteen meters long and seven or eight meters high. Lying on the ground, it looked like a moving hill.
Shen Xing also found a special plant not far away.
It was a tall tree that emitted a rich Yuan Qi. Four or five light red fruits were growing on it. At a glance, it was an extraordinary heavenly material and earthly treasure. But compared to the tree itself, what surprised Shen Xing more was the mountain of bones piled up under the tree.
Zooming in, besides the corpses of various demon beasts, at least half of them were human!
“They should all be human martial artists who went to explore and hunt in the forest,” Yan Yong said softly. Yan Yong and the others had also seen the scene. “For martial artists like us, this kind of forest is a huge treasure. It’s easy to find all kinds of wealth that can’t be found elsewhere, but we also have to face all kinds of dangers.”
For him, searching for resources in unexplored forests was normal.
But it was clear that if he had encountered the demon beast below, he would have definitely died.
A Fourth Realm demon beast.
Even through this magical image, they could feel the power of this demon beast.
Just its aura alone could make him tremble!
“It seems we have to be careful. The fruits on this tree don’t seem to be of low value,” Shen Xing thought for a moment, giving up on the idea of directly bombarding it with nuclear weapons.
It was also a good opportunity to test the lethality of the M-13 model warplane’s main cannon against this kind of Fourth Realm demon beast.
He immediately gave an order, directly controlling the two warplanes to accumulate energy in the high sky.
The demon beast below was obviously aware of something.
Any living being that reached the Fourth Realm had an extremely powerful life instinct, capable of sensing most dangers in advance.
However, this kind of attack was beyond its comprehension!
At the moment when the demon beast raised its head and roared angrily, two thinner, but more concentrated and hotter light cannons descended from the sky, cutting through the night sky and hitting the demon beast’s head directly.
Roar—!
A painful roar resounded through the sky and earth. Countless birds took flight, covering the sky. Those demon beasts hidden in the forest fled in panic under this huge roar.
The forest, which was originally peaceful under the night, was instantly plunged into chaos!
At the same time, in the fortified border city more than one hundred and fifty kilometers away, the vast majority of people were completely unaware of what was happening in the distance. At most, they vaguely saw a white light flickering in the clouds in the distance.
However, in the huge mansion in the very center of the city, a martial artist wearing spiritual armor and cultivating with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes.
This was a martial artist with a burly figure, an aura as deep as an abyss, and eyes that seemed to be filled with abundant Yuan Power.
It was precisely the only Fourth Realm expert stationed in this “Border Garrison City,” the Eastern King, Yan Dong!
At this moment, his figure flickered and he directly appeared outside, looking up at the distance.
“Your Highness?” A team of attendants hurried over.
“Order a city-wide curfew. I’ll go take a look.” After speaking, he directly soared into the sky.
He sensed the Yuan Qi fluctuations, and he also knew that there was a Fourth Realm demon beast, the Red Fire Rhinoceros, in that direction. The closer he got, the more he could feel the Red Fire Rhinoceros’s rage, and even its terror.
If it was just this, he might have thought that some Fourth Realm expert was hunting this thick-skinned demon beast.
But the problem was that Yan Dong did not sense the aura of any Fourth Realm expert, not even the aura of a Fourth Realm demon beast.
◈◈◈
The white light surging in the clouds also gave him a faint sense of palpitations.
Therefore, he had to find out what was going on, at least take a look from afar.
But at this time, Shen Xing had already ordered the three warplanes to fire in succession.
Each time, they accurately hit the head.
Although they could not achieve a one-hit kill as they did against Third Realm opponents, it was clear that this kind of attack was not without effect on this demon beast. Its head was already pitch black. The scales and even large pieces of flesh had been completely charred. Blood was flowing from its eyes, but it was quickly evaporated by the next cannon shot, leaving only a patch of black and red.
Under the intense pain, this demon beast was not without the thought of soaring into the sky and fighting back desperately.
Yes, Fourth Realm demon beasts could also fly.
However, their speed could not compare to humans. Moreover, every time it flew up, it would be hit by a new round of cannon fire, which also included enhanced impact rounds and concussive rounds, firmly restricting it.
Without a body movement-type Martial Path Intent, it was impossible to dodge the trajectory lock of a high-performance computer fire control system!
At this time, the other five people were all silently watching the scene.
The huge demon beast, whose mere aura and roar were enough to instill fear in people, was now being thoroughly toyed with.
Yes, it was being toyed with!
No matter how it dodged or twisted, it would be hit by that scorching white light. It couldn’t even fly up! Everyone seemed to be able to feel the anger and despair in this demon beast’s heart.
Looking at the young master over there, who was relaxed and seemed to be doing nothing.
They didn’t know what “times have changed” meant, but they did have an indescribable feeling.
The Fourth Realm was so vulnerable in front of the young master’s family’s “divine weapons”!
No wonder the young master dared to leave his family without bringing a single attendant.
“Huh?” Shen Xing suddenly let out a soft exclamation, “Is it preparing to run?”
He discovered that the high-realm demon beasts in this world seemed to be more intelligent than the powerful giant beasts on the Lunar Battlefield.
According to the data, the giant beasts on the Lunar Battlefield, even if they reached the Fourth Realm, still had a strong wild nature and had no intention of running away.
But at this moment, the demon beast in front of him, after being hit repeatedly, actually turned around, not even wanting the treasure tree, and fled rapidly in a certain direction. Large areas of trees were collapsing and breaking under its aura and impact.
However, although it was running fast on the ground, it was clearly no match for the warplanes.
As long as they chased after it and fired a few more shots, they would definitely be able to kill it.
But the premise was that no other powerful demon beasts came to interfere.
Shen Xing couldn’t help but look at the detection system.
What made his pupils shrink was that a red marker was rapidly flying over from more than fifty kilometers away.
Its speed was faster than expected!
It was that human Fourth Realm expert!
“Without armor, a Fourth Realm expert can’t fly this fast, so is it a Martial Path Intent, or a special flying-type spiritual weapon?” Shen Xing was thinking quickly. If this continued, he might not be able to take down this demon beast even when the other party arrived.
Forget it.
Anyway, the main purpose was to show off his strength in order to gain status!
Shen Xing directly gave an order.
“Activate the nuclear warhead! Lock onto the head.”
This order was given in the language of the Human Federation. The other five did not understand it, but they didn’t need to. Because in an instant, a nuclear warhead, accelerated to ten times the speed of sound and equipped with a miniature shield, accurately hit the demon beast’s head.
Boom—!
The nuclear weapon, which was once the pinnacle of human civilization’s weapons, finally unleashed its terrifying light for the first time in the other world.
It was an extremely dazzling, extremely scorching white light!
Everyone felt as if a small sun had appeared under the night.
Then came the wildly exploding air pressure, carrying a rolling shockwave!
Even Yan Dong, who was rushing over at top speed, suddenly slowed down at this moment, staring intently at the exploding light not far away.
Trembling! Even from a distance of tens of kilometers, he could feel the trembling that came from his life instinct!
The palpitations that kept surging in his heart clearly told him that whatever that was, it could directly kill him!
“What exactly is that?” His heart was filled with unease, but gritting his teeth, he still decided to take a look.
This place was too close to the Border Garrison City. Even if he fled back now, he would still be in an unknown danger!
At this moment, Shen Xing, who saw the other party approaching again on the detection device, couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
