You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 57
Chapter 57: What National Football Team?
Su Qin’an pondered for a moment, adjusting the video to the five-minute, twenty-seven-second mark.
Precisely when the eighth squad fired upon the ghosts.
Afterward, he zoomed in, and zoomed in again, finally focusing on a figure in the corner.
Wu Lingyu looked at Su Qin’an with a puzzled expression, remaining silent.
Bullets struck this figure, but unlike other ghosts that they simply passed through, they were stopped by its skin, losing velocity and falling to the ground.
“There’s definitely a problem! ”
Su Qin’an sneered: “These are two groups, simply working together! ”
Wu Lingyu furrowed his brow, but remained silent due to not quite understanding Su Qin’an’s meaning.
“How confident are you? ”
Xie Yingqing asked: “These people don’t look like ghosts; they have physical bodies, and these bodies are highly resistant to physical attacks. ”
“No problem. ”
Su Qin’an thought for a moment, saying: “Even if we can’t win, we can always call Master! ”
Wu Lingyu felt a little dumbfounded and scratched his head.
Inevitability dictated the exposure of the Cultivation World, the only difference being a matter of time; therefore, the two people didn’t try to hide their conversation from Wu Lingyu.
“How should we cooperate? ”
Wu Lingyu asked: “We can provide weapons and so on, just tell us the strategy so we can cooperate. ”
“No need, you just guard the border. ”
Su Qin’an said: “We have a special method for this group. ”
Wu Lingyu paused, then agreed: “Alright, we’ll leave it to you. ”
“We’re leaving now. ”
Su Qin’an said, and with Xie Yingqing, directly left the hall, heading straight for the group of ghosts.
In the hall, only a somewhat dumbfounded Wu Lingyu remained.
“Master… could there be other reinforcements? A special method… has the Ministry of Science and Technology developed new weapons? ”
…
Leaving the command center, the two people headed straight for the front lines.
The surrounding soldiers had already received Wu Lingyu’s instructions, and did not stop them, only strengthening the defense line while secretly leaving an opening for their retreat.
Su Qin’an and Xie Yingqing left the defense line and charged toward the ghosts near the borderline.
“This… are there really new weapons? ”
Inside the defense line, the eighth squad captain was using binoculars to observe the two people’s movements, for ease of reporting the situation: “Their new weapon is… a sword? ”
“Perhaps the new weapon looks like a sword? ”
A member of the eighth squad said: “After all, it’s a new weapon; they would naturally want to keep it under wraps, right? ”
“Makes sense, keep watching. ”
Xie Yingqing and Su Qin’an did not open fire as they imagined, but instead directly engaged in close combat with the ghosts.
“Captain, what’s happening? ”
“This… take a look for yourself. ”
A nearby young soldier impatiently snatched the binoculars, and then witnessed a scene he would never forget.
Xie Yingqing brandished Hengyue, a white sword energy shooting out, striking a ghost fiercely and forcing it to retreat a meter.
The young soldier felt his materialistic worldview being impacted, thinking that he must be using it incorrectly, so he quickly wiped his eyes and looked again at Xie Yingqing and Su Qin’an.
Su Qin’an held Luoxing upright in front of him, the tip pointing upward, then black spiritual energy surged from his body, and thousands of sword shadows materialized behind him.
With a flash, the sword shadows appeared before the ghosts, effortlessly defeating the ghosts that the bullets could not even hit.
The young soldier put down the binoculars, looking at the captain with an incredulous expression.
“What’s going on? Old Xiao told me to take a look…”
“Get up, get up, I want to see too…”
“Holy crap! ”
“Captain, they…”
“Shhh! ”
The eighth squad captain made a silencing gesture: “They told us not to help, they definitely don’t want us to see. Now that we’ve seen, we must keep our mouths shut; we absolutely cannot say…”
“What if the leader asks? ”
The young soldier asked: “Do we tell them or not? ”
“Hey, if the leader sent them, they must know about their abilities! ”
The captain smiled: “But right now, they probably don’t want to be exposed… we saw nothing, right? ”
“Right! ”
…
“Has everyone seen this video? ”
At the Daojian Sect, Yin Wanshan projected his cell phone onto the large screen: “What are your thoughts? ”
“Without a doubt, other sects want to force us to show ourselves, so they can gain the moral high ground. ”
He Yuntian sneered: “They’re all old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, I know what they’re thinking! ”
“Don’t lump us in with the monsters! ”
One of the Seven Sword Immortals chuckled: “I’m so handsome and dashing, I’m not old! ”
“How are the ordinary people at the Cultivation Grounds reacting? ”
Qi Yun asked: “If it’s not working, let’s just show ourselves. Even if we’ve fallen for their trick, what can they do? ”
“Don’t do that unless it’s absolutely necessary. ”
Zhang Yundao said: “Showing ourselves is very troublesome. This old man has lived for so long, and while some people have had this idea, the problems involved are too many, and they always end up being dropped. ”
“I think it’s because we haven’t taken action for too long, causing those sects to forget our existence. ”
Chu Tianlong said indignantly: “I have a plan! ”
“Brother Tianlong, please tell us! ”
Mo Dao said: “What do you plan to do? ”
“Use their own methods against them! ”
…
These ghosts had high cultivation bases, but for Xie Yingqing and Su Qin’an, they were not a match.
The more troublesome ones were the “other group” Su Qin’an mentioned.
This group had thick skin and were highly resistant to all kinds of attacks, so Su Qin’an could easily tell that they were different from ghosts.
“System, what are these things? ”
Su Qin’an asked: “Are they from the Cultivation World? ”
The system was silent for a moment, then an interface popped up in front of Su Qin’an, perfectly obscuring his vision, causing him to almost be killed by nearby unknown creatures.
Xie Yingqing quickly blocked the attack for him: “What are you daydreaming about? ”
“Nothing, the damned system got me! ”
Su Qin’an fiercely slashed an unknown creature to death, ordering the system to minimize the window: “Let’s finish this quickly, I need to see what these things are! ”
“Does the system have information on them? ”
Xie Yingqing asked: “Are they ghosts raised by some sect in the Cultivation World? Pretty advanced! They even seem to have their own intelligence? ”
Su Qin’an quickly opened the small window, glanced at it, and was somewhat dumbfounded: “Ghost… Ghost Race? ”
“What national team? ”
Xie Yingqing asked: “Can the national team become spirits? ”
“No, let’s deal with them first, this is a bit complicated, I’ll explain it to you in detail afterward. ”
Somehow, when Su Qin’an saw the words “Ghost Race,” he inexplicably thought of the advertisement the system had shown him last time…
