Located 1200 kilometers southwest of the A02 Military Base, within the 8841-mu Federation Third Army military restricted area.
Here, it resembles a giant anthill, with soldiers bustling about like worker ants and soldier ants.
The insignia on these soldiers' shoulders are not the Federation Army logo, but the snow mountain logo of the Shendai Family.
This is the Shendai Consortium's direct lineage troops, true elites.
Thousands of soldiers, carrying their own bags, quickly assembled towards the flight formation. All the aircraft's turbine jet engines were on standby at low speed, the wind blowing the snow away like waves.
The soldiers wore lightweight exoskeleton alloy armor. This exoskeleton armor is relatively simple, but it's enough to give an ordinary soldier the speed and strength of a D-Class Gene Soldier.
To the extent that an ordinary soldier can easily carry the ammunition box of the main firepower cannon over mountains and ridges.
The soldiers jumped, as if they were on a low-gravity planet like the moon.
This mass-produced mechanized individual soldier equipment has gradually become the mainstream of the front-line battlefield, with lower costs than Gene Medicine.
At this time, the engineering troops were working overtime to replace the air-to-air weapons of all the airships.One after another, rocket launchers, each more than a person's height, were hung on the left and right sides of the airships.
In the communication system of the tower, someone calmly commanded: “L989, yield the airway, repeat, L989, yield the airway. The first combat escort group is preparing for takeoff. After takeoff, ascend to a height of five thousand meters. 3, 2, 1! Launch!”
As they spoke, in a corner of the flight formation, 12 Takamagahara-27 Fighter Jets rushed into the sky from the electromagnetic catapult runway.
With a loud boom, the 12 Takamagahara Fighter Jets instantly broke the sound barrier.
Unlike the aircraft runways of the Outer World, this electromagnetic catapult runway is only thirty meters long. The Fighter Jets don't need to accelerate themselves to achieve initial acceleration.
In the tower communication channel, someone said coldly: “The first combat escort group has reached a safe altitude, switching to cruise mode.”
“Second fleet, launch!”
As soon as the words fell, all the soldiers wearing exoskeleton alloy armor rushed onto the airships.
On the bridge of the airship, the crew members loudly reported: “Power compartment normal! Pressure compartment normal! Main turbine engine normal! Auxiliary turbine engine normal!”
“Requesting retraction of gravity anchor, preparing for takeoff.”
“Takeoff approved!”
The next moment, more than three hundred Class B airships, guarding thirteen Class A airships, quickly took off together and flew towards the north at an angle.
The firepower compartments of the thirteen Class A airships are all equipped with Susanoo Missiles, one of which is enough to destroy everything within dozens of miles.
Their goal is to kill all threatening creatures in the northern airspace and destroy all creatures on the ground with human life signs.
At this time, in the tower command center, a lieutenant general turned off the holographic screen in front of him.
His chief of staff, wearing a black military uniform behind him, suddenly said: “If we conduct indiscriminate attacks, and that ancestor survives, you and I will both die. Commander, leave yourself a way out!”
“I am ordered by the family head. Do you know the consequences of disobeying military orders? Do you want to go to a military court?” The lieutenant general looked back at him: “Besides, even a Demi-God cannot survive this kind of firepower. In one day, we killed five Demi-Gods of the Federation, ensuring the Federation will have no Demi-God monsters for twenty years. Your combat number and that of this unit will be recorded in history.”
In the sky above the military restricted area, the fleet flashing with brilliant signal lights is as gorgeous as a nebula.
……
……
On the snowy plain.
“To protect a junior, knowing it's a trap, you still walk in. Is it worth it?” Li Bingxi slowly walked over.
But when he entered the battlefield, every step he took, the snow under his feet melted, and the heat of his blood was affecting the outside world.
With every step, his fighting spirit rose.
At the level of a Demi-God, mental will is no longer a mere legend.
The ancient saying, personally recounted by a god, “When disaster strikes, mental will is humanity’s first line of defense against danger.”
Mental will is the source of power for humanity in the Inner World.
At the Demi-God realm, an individual's mental will begins to merge with the world. The higher the degree of fusion of a Demi-God, the stronger their combat power.
However, some have also said that when an individual's mental will merges with the world by more than 70%, they will begin to assimilate with the world, their bodies will turn to dust, and their consciousness will become part of the world, imprisoned in the sky.
This is a different kind of death.
Legend has it that at the end of the last human civilization era, the Demi-God Li Shentan died in this way.
In fact, the cultivation of all Demi-Gods is to explore the boundaries of the fusion of mental will and the world, trying to explore that mysterious 69%, but also worried about surpassing 70%.
This world has no ascension, no fairyland, mortals need to contend with the world.
Qing Chen had heard of Li Bingxi, or rather, “Stone Buddha Li Bingxi”.
It is said that this person entered the Demi-God realm at the age of 37. On the eve of entering the Demi-God realm, the Li Clan sent eight masters to 2City 5 to assassinate him, but these eight masters all died in the lake courtyard of 2City 5, while Li Bingxi was unharmed.
Li Bingxi has not fought many times. He is the anchor of the Koshima Family. Unless something major happens, he will absolutely not leave 2City 5.
He has never been defeated in his life, so he is called the Stone Buddha.
At first, this was a term of respect, but gradually, Stone Buddha became a derogatory term, because his son was killed, yet he still refused to leave 2City 5 to seek revenge.
So everyone understands that this Stone Buddha cherishes his life exceptionally.
Li Bingxi came to the battlefield. He looked at Li Shutong, Qing Chen, and Shendai Yunzhi, who were surrounded by four Shikigami, and frowned: “You've already become a Demi-God, what is worth your life? After eight years in prison, you still haven't cultivated your mind?”
Li Shutong laughed: “No wonder when your son was killed, you didn't avenge him. When I challenged you one by one, only Chen Chuanzhi had the guts to come out and fight. You and that old turtle from the Shendai family all hid in your respective cities and avoided the fight. Now you're joining forces to kill me, you must have some confidence?”
Only then did Qing Chen realize that when his master entered the Demi-God realm, he didn't just challenge Chen Chuanzhi… but challenged all the Demi-Gods in the world!
It's just that Li Bingxi and Shendai Qianchi didn't dare to accept the challenge.
Why was his master so ferocious?
Wait, Qing Chen suddenly understood. Just like he went to fight the Shadow Agency's chosen one head-on after his promotion to B-Class.
Master Li Shutong also wanted to know where he stood in the Demi-God food chain.
Who knew that this newly promoted Demi-God, upon entering the realm, stood at the very top of the food chain…
Li Bingxi didn't get angry after hearing this, as if he really had a touch of otherworldly Buddhist air: “Now that you're trapped here, two Demi-Gods personally killed you. Do you have any regrets? This may be the price of recklessness.”
Li Shutong laughed: “You don't understand some things. The old turtle used my only apprentice to set up this trap. If something really happens to him, I'm willing to go to the Shendai house and kill everyone. After this battle, I will also visit the Koshima house. Perhaps you have all forgotten what a Knight's wrath is.”
Li Bingxi laughed: “After today, there will be no more Knights.”
As he spoke, Li Bingxi slowly paced outside the battlefield, leaving a figure with each pace, each figure an identical Li Bingxi, with different expressions.
Qing Chen had seen this cultivation heritage. When he was in Amsterdam, Li Yunze used this cultivation heritage to forcefully confront the various masters of the North America Future Organization.
He had constantly recalled Li Yunze's actions, trying to figure out which Li Yunze was real and which were fake.
No matter how Qing Chen analyzed the details, the result was…
Every figure was real, every punch was deadly, and Qing Chen, even to this day, hasn't figured out how he would win if he ever encountered Li Yunze.
It seemed flawless.
Li Bingxi took twelve steps, and twelve Li Bingxis surrounded Li Shutong and the others.
The twelve Li Bingxis laughed simultaneously: “Kill your apprentice first, then you.”
As soon as the words fell, the twelve Li Bingxis suddenly attacked Qing Chen.
However, Li Shutong gave Qing Chen the answer. The master used his actions to tell Qing Chen how a Knight should defeat this Koshima heritage.
When the twelve Li Bingxis attacked, Li Shutong's figure disappeared again.
In the blink of an eye, Qing Chen heard twelve explosions almost simultaneously.
With each explosion, the snow on the ground was blown open in a ripple.
He saw his master pulling out afterimages beside him, each exchanging blows with one of the twelve Li Bingxis, forcefully knocking all twelve Li Bingxis away.
Li Shutong's elegant yet domineering figure actually used pure speed and power to overwhelm twelve Li Bingxis!
Qing Chen felt like he was almost shocked by the explosions, and when he wiped his mouth, there was blood.
But Li Shutong stood there unharmed.
Li Shutong laughed: “Looks pretty intimidating, come again.”
The twelve Li Bingxis looked at each other, then split into four groups, three in each group.
In each group, only one person attacks at a time. After being repulsed by Li Shutong, someone immediately fills in.
Li Bingxi's murderous intent and killing intent flowed like a vast celestial river, endless.
At one point, Qing Chen even had the illusion that as long as the sun and moon of this world existed, this killing formation, which was one with the world, would not break, would not stop.
No matter what time, Li Shutong had to Face[-] four attacks simultaneously, endlessly, and Shendai Qianchi's four Shikigami were watching closely.
Once Li Bingxi's battle formation loosened, the Wine Swallowing Child, Bing Zhu Bu, Ox Head Rakshasa, and Great Heavenly Dog would fill the gap, firmly sealing Li Shutong and the others in this “prison”.
The most terrifying thing about the joint efforts of the two Demi-Gods from Koshima and Shendai is this endlessness.
Qing Chen understood that Li Bingxi wasn't trying to kill his master, but to exhaust him.
These Demi-Gods from Shendai and Koshima coveted the Knight's long lifespan and perfect body.
Qing Chen suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. Wasn't the Knight's body just like Tang Seng's meat? How did he and his master become the modern Tang Seng?!
But if his master was trapped here, how could he find that old turtle Shendai Qianchi?
