SWNOVELXO Chapter 365 The Army Destroys in a Breath
Tens of kilometers.
For the supernatural tank division, it was but the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, the army had arrived fifty kilometers from the Formation Method, densely covering a vast expanse with an Iron Tide.
This distance, beyond the attack range of the Xuanwu Four-polar Boundary Array, was unable to strike at the heart of the formation.
But it could guide with high precision and attach sharp, accelerating, Law-Breaking enchantments to the shells, targeting those vulnerable World War II artillery formations!
"Prepare!"
The command of an officer rang out, undisguised.
The myriad tanks raised their barrels ever so slightly, calibrating their coordinates.
"Damn Eastern Devil School!"
"Why can't we live in peace until I evacuate this world?"
Xiang Jia cursed angrily, shouting, "Hurry up and retreat our elite Qi Practitioners and mortal gunners! Otherwise, you will go beyond the formation and destroy the artillery of the Eastern Devil School for me!"
"Yes, Taoist disciples!"
The remaining two thousand plus Foundation-building cultivators all shivered, crazily flying in all directions, Escape Light whisking gunners and artillery back towards the heart of the formation.
"Immortal Master, what about us ..."
The remaining mortals, terrified and not fools, sensed what was coming and cried out in panic.
"You, man the artillery, counter-attack!"
The Foundation-building cultivators of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace looked over coldly, their voices eerily resonant, with echoes clearly reaching the ears of the surrounding mortals and Qi Practitioner gunners.
"Man the artillery ..."
The eyes of the surrounding Qi Practitioners and mortals blurred for a moment, the fear and panic on their faces vanishing, expressions wooden, they mechanically returned to their artillery, busy with operation.
These were the most standard Xianmen Sect gunner tactics.
Without any modification.
"Fire!"
"..."
At the same time, just outside the formation, commanders like Jin Lingfeng with stern faces gave their orders.
Whoosh, whoosh whoosh!
A dense swarm of Armor Piercing Bullets tore through the air, each adorned with spells, drawing white streaks, densely penetrating into the formation.
Their trajectories were incredibly agile, making complex curves—named shells, they were in fact high precision guided weapons, using second-order Spirit Particle Sonar to achieve centimeter-level accuracy in attacks.
Boom!
With nothing to cover them, the groups of armor-piercing and high-explosive shells carrying immense kinetic energy, charged into the Xuanwu Four-polar Boundary Array!
"Fire!"
Millions of World War II artillery from the Xuanwu Heavenly Palace also launched their shells, the rumbling vibrations resounded, and the smoke of gunpowder spread out, conceding nothing.
The Xuanwu Four-polar Boundary Formation hummed into action, releasing heavy ripples, delaying the speed of the Xianmen Sect's artillery.
"Laughable imitation!"
Facing the constant World War II artillery barrage, Jin Lingfeng was somewhat contemptuous.
The armor-piercing and high-explosive shells thundered past, even though their speed was slowed by the formation, they were still much faster than the World War II shells.
The Armor Piercing Shell Group slowed down slightly, the high-explosive shells activated the acceleration spells on them, speeding them up even more, surpassing many,
falling into the canvas-like barrage of World War II artillery!
Boom!
A Xianmen Sect high-explosive shell exploded close by, scattering countless Law-Breaking Steel Fragments across a few hundred meters, leaving no World War II shell untouched, nothing could block them.
After one blast, thousands of Xianmen Sect high-explosive shells shattered, clearing a big patch of sky covered by dense shells in an instant, exposing the firing range.
"Charge in!"
Many Xianmen Sect Qi Practitioners calmly said.
Even though they were both artillery, the Xianmen Sect's artillery and ordinary artillery were very different.
Whoosh, whoosh whoosh!
After thousands of high-explosive shells, tens of thousands more shells fell, bombarding the various artillery positions of Xuanwu Heavenly Palace—such targets deserved nothing less.
Boom!
Amidst the astonished gazes of Internal Qi Realm Martial Artists and Qi Practitioners, the grenades exploded, scattering countless Law-Breaking Steel Fragments above their heads, and these fragments sprayed downwards.
Boom~
Boom boom...
Amidst the melodious sound of bells, a layer of golden light spread within the Xuanwu Four-polar Boundary Array, precisely encasing each mortal and Qi Practitioner within a protective Gold Bell.
Countless Law-Breaking Steel Fragments fell upon them and were blocked by the Gold Bells, rippling outwards in concentric circles, causing no harm.
"Again, just like that!"
Many army commanders were furious.
"Hold back no longer, fire at will, fire at will!"
"Give me ten more rounds of bombardment, and let's see how long the Formation can protect them!"
Boom!
Boom boom!
In the commanders' anger and amidst the deafening roar, millions of armor-piercing and grenade shells traced streaks of white light, aimed at the many Qi Practitioners and mortals within the Formation, regardless of the waste of ammunition.
Such treatment was reserved for groups of Golden Pill Monks.
Yet now, it was being poured down upon a group of mortals and Qi Practitioners!
"Immortal Master... save..."
Amidst the dreadful clamor, a mortal from the Internal Qi Realm awakened from his numb operation of the artillery, his eyes wide and tremblingly whispered.
"You are still of use."
Xiang Jia, sitting in the center of the Formation, had a cold expression and had no intention of abandoning them.
Divine Sense stirred.
Thicker Gold Bells draped over the mortals and Qi Practitioner gunners, enabling them to perform the reloading and firing of the artillery with mechanical precision.
The two equally substantial Shell Groups met in the sky, with countless eyes tightly focused on this spot.
Boom!
A resounding explosion.
Countless fragments of Law-Breaking Steel and regular steel material scattered in all directions, piercing the ground with numerous dense pits.
The smoke billowed, forming clouds that did not disperse for a long time.
Then, millions of Xianmen Sect shells burst forth from the thick smoke!
The number hadn't visibly diminished to the naked eye.
"Mortal artillery and Eastern Devil School artillery, the gap is too wide after all..."
Xiang Jia felt slightly disheartened inside.
Boom!
Millions of Xianmen Sect shells fell to the ground unobstructed, slaughtering every target worthy of killing, treating them with the standards of a Golden Pill attack.
Boom rumble!
Boom...
The sound of bells, the booming of the shells, the collapse of the golden Spiritual Light, the fracturing of shells, and the Xuanwu Four-polar Boundary Array collided with the Xianmen Sect tank artillery group in such a manner for the first time.
A moment later, the dust cleared.
Millions of Xianmen Sect Shell Groups were shattered, causing no damage to the earth. On the ground, numerous Gold Bells broke apart, and the Qi Practitioners and mortal gunners inside were reduced to clouds of blood mist and fleshy fragments.
Beside them, the World War II-era self-propelled artillery was pierced with dense small holes, sunlight shining through.
With that, apart from the emergency retreat of twenty kilometers to the heart of the Formation and the previously deployed million-plus Elite Gunners nearby,
The Xuanwu Heavenly Palace artillery troops were wiped out!
Mortals and Qi Practitioners were too fragile.
Merely the shockwaves of a Golden Pill attack were enough to kill most of them.
"Kill!"
Jin Lingfeng and the other commanders took a deep breath and drove the tank troops into the range of the Xuanwu Four-polar Boundary Array.
This was a feat never before accomplished by the Xianmen Sect tank forces.
Entering the enemy's Formation without having completely destroyed it, and with the frail bodies of Qi Practitioners, they faced the Heavenly Might of a top-tier third-order Boundary Formation head-on.
