You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 98
Chapter 98: Light Body Water Walking
Nine Heavens Laboratory. Su Qin’an, who was working, felt the situation near the East Sea through the formation runes on the launch tower.
“Oh, they’re starting already? ”
Su Qin’an sneered, forming a hand seal: “Then let’s have some fun! ”
As his hand seal changed, the formation runes on the launch towers near the East Sea all revived their inherent light and power.
Beams of light instantly condensed, then shot towards the Ghost Race, targeting areas with high concentrations of enemies.
The dazzling light made the coastal residents unable to open their eyes, only feeling a majestic aura sweeping over them.
The power was quite impressive. Countless Ghost Race people perished, countless airplanes and warships were destroyed, causing the Ghost Race to wail.
Su Qin’an modified the plasma shields to be one-way, and the Dragon Vein National Protection Formation was also one-way. Therefore, external attacks were blocked, but internal attacks could exit unimpeded.
“Whoa, what is that? ”
“The legendary killing formation? ”
“That’s so strong! ”
“Can I install one in my house? ”
“Go cool off somewhere else, go dream it up! ”
The Ghost Race obviously also had considerable technological foundation. Plasma shields quickly formed on their warships, absorbing damage and charging forward.
But the plasma shields from the seventy-two nuclear fusion launch towers, powered by superior energy sources, and those on the warships, which were inferior, were worlds apart.
For example, China’s plasma shields, after enduring such fierce attacks from the Ghost Race, were completely unscathed, standing strong, and still look fine.
In contrast, the Ghost Race’s plasma shields, after taking the launch towers’ cannon fire and Su Qin’an’s killing formation, were shattered to pieces, sinking many more warships and aircraft.
The shields of a few large warships were more resistant and hadn’t broken yet, but they were already teetering on the brink of collapse.
It didn’t matter if they hadn’t broken; whether it was the killing formation or guns and cannons, another shot would do the trick.
After a cloud of smoke and dust, the East Sea sky was filled with debris.
If someone looked down from the air, they would find a several-kilometer-wide no-man’s-land between the Ghost Race army and China’s border, filled with rivers of bl00d, and littered with severed limbs and wreckage of warships and airplanes.
All caused by China’s attacks.
The Ghost Race people outside the kilometer no-man’s-land were falling into panic.
This nation called China was unlike any other nation they had fought before!
Other nations, the weak ones were wiped out in twenty or thirty minutes, and even the slightly stronger ones were gone in less than an hour, completely annihilated, with no survivors.
How come China…
Not only wasn’t it destroyed, but it also eliminated so many of their people?
“Captain, let’s retreat…”
Many Ghost Race soldiers on the warships had developed a desire to retreat, and this retreat, like seeds encountering water, quickly took root, sprouted, and flourished in their hearts.
They were afraid.
Their Ministry of Science and Technology had already observed that Earth humans’ civilization level was definitely lower than theirs. Even if their technology hadn’t fully recovered, China, logically, had no right to be their opponent.
But reality and imagination clearly didn’t match!
The Ghost Race people were very puzzled.
They were all from Earth, so why was China so outstanding?
The Ghost Commander sitting in the Military Headquarters had the worst expression.
The scene he had imagined, where the Ghost Race would easily conquer China, did not happen. Instead, they were slapped in the face. How could his expression be good?
This was his decision. Losing the battle was undoubtedly slapping his face.
“Full army charge! Protect the genetically modified troops as they advance! ”
This was his trump card, the essence of the entire Ghost Race, and their strongest combat power.
In the past, the Ghost Race had countless such troops and countless such warriors.
However, now the Ghost Race’s technology was incomplete, and compared to its peak, it was less than one percent. The genetically modified troops only numbered eight thousand.
He must be crazy to send half of his genetically modified troops directly into battle.
These were all trump cards.
Fifty thousand troops were sent in, and a small half were wiped out in a single encounter. How could he not use his trump cards?
But his orders were still very effective, or rather, the Ghost Race army’s discipline was strong.
Even though the Ghost Race soldiers on the warships were almost scared to death by China’s attacks, upon hearing his order, they overcame their fear and charged towards the kilometer-wide no-man’s-land.
“Oh? ”
Su Qin’an, observing the scene through the formation runes, raised an eyebrow: “Their discipline isn’t bad? ”
At the same time, Zhang Keqiang, stationed at the nuclear fusion launch tower next to the Imperial Capital, frowned slightly, staring at the dark mass in the distance: “What’s their objective? ”
He didn’t understand. Wasn’t learning from experience difficult? Why, after just being hurt, less than five minutes later, did the Ghost Race charge again?
“No way! ”
Zhang Keqiang grabbed the binoculars beside him and carefully observed the Ghost Race army: “What are those behind them? ”
He seemed to see a dark mass of figures behind the warships, about three or four thousand, walking…
On water?
In human terms, they were walking directly on the East Sea, looking like the legendary Light Body Water Walking.
“Cultivators? ”
Zhang Keqiang thought for a moment, and felt this explanation was reasonable: “Don’t worry, we have them too! ”
As the Ghost Race army drew closer, the crowd watching the excitement from the mountain also noticed the problem.
“What’s that group behind them? ”
“I don’t know, how can they walk on water? ”
“Cultivators? The Ghost Race has them too? ”
Su Qin’an also knew about the situation.
However, his vision was higher, and he immediately saw that this group of people were not cultivators.
Because there was no trace of spiritual energy on them.
Even from afar, this could be seen.
That’s interesting. They weren’t cultivators, but they could walk on water as if it were flat ground… Was it truly Light Body Water Walking?
Zhang Keqiang didn’t care about that. When the Ghost Race army was close enough, he pressed the button.
The gun barrels and cannon barrels of the launch tower, which had only recently gone silent, once again spewed flames, emitting clouds of smoke.
After a puff of smoke, the Ghost Race army was decimated again.
However, the rest of the Ghost Race army did not retreat, but instead charged forward with even greater vigor. Many warships moved up to fill the gaps left by the sunken ones.
“Is it because of them? ”
Zhang Keqiang immediately understood the reason: “Are they protecting those people as they approach? ”
That’s right! It must be because of that strange group of people!
Some of their attacks had splashed onto those people, but they were unharmed, and could still run.
If they were truly cultivators, then ordinary cannon fire would be useless.
Zhang Keqiang was about to contact Su Qin’an to ask him to send some people over when he saw nearly a hundred beams of light descending from the sky and landing at the edge of the shield.
It was Xie Yingqing and the people she had brought from the Cultivation World.
Daojian Sect, a place with abundant talent.
Xie Yingqing’s own strength was formidable, and combined with her status as the Saintess and next Sect Master of Daojian Sect, she could summon many people to her side.
Whether it was cultivators from sects like Ci’en Temple and Daojian Sect, or nearby independent cultivators, upon hearing Xie Yingqing’s call, they immediately rushed over.
While Zhang Keqiang was thinking, Xie Yingqing appeared beside him with a flash: “Leave those people to us; you just need to deal with the army. ”
Zhang Keqiang nodded: “Later, when the distance is sufficient, I’ll open a gap to let you out. ”
Xie Yingqing nodded slightly: “Okay. ”
Then, she turned into a white light and left the launch tower.
