You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 99
Chapter 99: Cultivation Vs Genetic Modification
On the East Sea Coast, there was never a shortage of onlookers. Even during war, people followed the principle of “once in a lifetime opportunity,” and found places to watch the show.
Naturally, they also saw the four thousand Genetically Modified Troops in the distance and over a hundred Cultivators led by Xie Yingqing.
“Grandmaster Xie! Are you going to fight them? ”
Someone shouted, “Be careful! ”
Xie Yingqing smiled, “Don’t worry, they won’t hurt us! ”
It was a bit unexpected. Although no longer isolated, the Cultivation World and the Mortal Realm didn’t have much contact, yet someone actually cared about them.
However, there was no time for Xie Yingqing to think much on the battlefield, because the opponent was less than a kilometer from the Plasma Shield.
“Keep fighting! ”
Zhang Keqiang roared angrily, and all the cannon barrels on the Launch Towers continued to emit light.
Su Qin’an, who was in the Imperial Capital, did not interfere, but quietly watched the battlefield through the Formation Runes.
Xie Yingqing could also activate the Killing Formation, so there was no need for him to intervene, lest he spoil Xie Yingqing’s arrangements.
The Ghost Race people outside were pitiful. Seeing that China’s attack was weaker than the previous wave, they thought that China had run out of ammunition and food. One by one, they rushed forward like they had eaten gunpowder, desperately attacking the shield.
Their attack was also very effective, at least they had punched a not-narrow gap in the Plasma Shield.
Just as they were cheering and their morale was high, more than a hundred people suddenly flew out of the gap, each of them looking like immortals, soaring through the air.
Then, the gap closed, angering the Ghost Race so much that they almost couldn’t breathe. Only then did they realize that the gap was not blown open by them, but opened by the other side on purpose.
“I… ”
On the foremost warship, the Captain suddenly felt the urge to vomit bl00d.
But something even more frightening was yet to come.
Each figure that emerged from the gap held various Cold Weapons.
Logically, those with Cold Weapons should run to the front to attack, but this group was different.
They pointed their swords at this side, and a pile of swords inexplicably appeared behind them.
Although illusory, their lethality was real.
Instantly, countless Ghost Race people were strung together like candied haws.
One person would be fine, but the key was that more than a hundred people were doing this!
In an instant, another section of the foremost warship sank.
The onlookers on the shore instantly became excited.
“Wow, is that the legendary All Swords Return to the Origin? ”
“Fellow Daoist, here we call it All Swords Return to the Origin. ”
“It’s the same! ”
“What did Grandmaster Xie go out for? Was it because of those Cultivators? ”
“Otherwise? To play mahjong? ”
Xie Yingqing and the others had a clear goal. After leaving the shield and entering the East Sea, they ignored the warships in front and went straight for the four thousand Genetically Modified soldiers.
“Stop them! ”
The Ghost Commander obviously also noticed their intentions and immediately shouted, “Don’t let a single one through! ”
But how could a group of beings that were merely considered Mutants stop Cultivators?
After all, they don’t follow the laws of physics.
Xie Yingqing was not flustered by the barrage of cannon fire. After a few shakes of her body, she appeared in the command room of a warship.
Then, she took out a Bomb and directly detonated it in the command room.
She had Spiritual Energy protecting her body and was not afraid, but others didn’t!
The people on the shore couldn’t see clearly, but they could still see the black smoke billowing from the command room.
“You… ”
The Captain was caught off guard and blown to pieces, his face covered in black.
What’s wrong with these people? They came to our command room to plant bombs?
Fine, they planted a bomb, but how come you’re fine?
This level of bomb resistance?
The power of the Bomb itself might not be great, but there were other things on the warship besides the Bomb.
For example, Gunpowder.
In a few moments, Xie Yingqing had already found the ship’s Gunpowder storage and put some Explosives inside.
Then, the people on the shore heard a loud bang, and the whole ship went up in the air, and the Ghost Race inside were either dead or injured.
Following Xie Yingqing’s lead, other Cultivators followed suit, taking out Explosives they didn’t know where they got from.
From within the Ghost Race army, several voices were constantly heard.
“You… ”
“Why weren’t you affected? ”
“Brother, times have changed! ”
For a time, the loss of warships was almost the same as when China launched its fierce attack.
The warships behind were all fortunate that they were slow, otherwise it would have been their turn to suffer.
Just as Xie Yingqing finished blowing up one warship and was about to blow up the next, six semi-illusory figures surrounded her.
Or rather, all the Cultivators who came were surrounded.
Naturally, the Genetically Modified Troops had made their move. Although they were far away and could not act immediately, they missed the first wave but caught the second.
“Just in time! ”
Xie Yingqing chuckled softly, “Just let me see what you’re all about! ”
“Yingqing! ”
She seemed to hear a call.
Looking back, Su Qin’an had appeared on the shore at some point, and was using Secret Voice Transmission to tell her: “Bring back two alive! ”
Xie Yingqing smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, I understand what you mean! ”
Su Qin’an nodded, waved to her, then disappeared from the shore and returned to the Laboratory.
In just two sentences, the six people around her had already attacked.
The first Genetically Modified Human made the first move, punching straight towards her, aiming for her vital point.
Xie Yingqing struck him back with a palm, then kicked two people who attacked her from behind, and then immediately flipped her sword, leaving a sword mark on the chests of the other three.
After one move, she had a preliminary estimate of their strength: about the same as a Spirit Gathering Seventh Realm cultivator.
This strength refers to Physical Attack. These people would not use Arcane Arts unexpectedly.
In the Cultivation World, they were considered to have strength, but not much. Compared to Xie Yingqing, who was at the Minor Ascension Realm, they were far inferior.
Taking a step forward, Xie Yingqing ascended into the air, directly stepping into the sky.
This was not because she couldn’t defeat them, but because she wanted to see if, besides walking on water, resisting immortal swords, and being relatively strong, these strange troops had any other abilities that normal people shouldn’t have.
Naturally, she knew that Su Qin’an also wanted to see, so she simply satisfied him.
Sure enough, the six exchanged glances, called over a dozen more people, and then all ran into the air.
Now, everyone could see clearly.
“Wow, they can fly? ”
“Are they also Cultivators? They are all Cultivators, don’t they give the Daojian Sect face? ”
“Maybe they aren’t from the same faction? ”
“But they don’t seem very strong! ”
“That’s right! ”
“… ”
“They can fly? ”
At the Nuclear Fusion Launch Tower, Zhang Keqiang frowned as he watched Xie Yingqing fight sixteen people but still hold the upper hand. With a white Hengyue Sword in her hand, she fought in a way that no one could get close to her.
At this moment, she had the appearance of a world-beating queen, although this appearance was achieved by beating up weaker opponents.
Zhang Keqiang and Su Qin’an thought alike, both wanting Xie Yingqing to bring some live ones back.
However, he couldn’t communicate with Xie Yingqing and couldn’t tell her his thoughts.
To be honest, the Ghost Commander’s expression was the most ferocious.
His trump card was also the Ghost Race’s trump card!
Even if technology hadn’t revived yet, and the Genetically Modified level wasn’t high, it shouldn’t be something that Earth’s current civilization could stop.
But this theoretically invincible troop, sixteen people fighting against Xie Yingqing, a young girl, and still couldn’t defeat her for a long time.
The opponent’s Genetically Modified troops were stronger than their own!
The Ghost Commander coldly glanced at Xie Yingqing and the hundred Cultivators, and finally ordered a retreat in resignation.
