Chapter 735: Gun Flick Technique
At this moment, Nova Fortress was ablaze with lights.
Just as Jiangnan had said, as a resource layer camp, the Mi Guo had invested a tremendous amount of effort here.
Even during special times, the permanent stationed personnel still numbered over four thousand.
With years of dedication poured into it, Nova Fortress had been forged into a steel fortress!
All facilities were fully equipped!
Under the influence of the Greed Sin, the casino business within the fortress was booming.
Even the Explorers patrolling the city walls were playing cards and poker.
Inside the casino, Kaige had an arm around two girls, his expression excited as he watched the dice spin in the iron tray!
(｡⊗Дŏ): "Say big! Big big big big big!"
At the gambling table, a group of underlings had their faces red from holding it in. Some had even lost their underwear and were still shouting over there!
"Ahhh big! Big big big big big!"
Kaige: "Ah lai oh~ Ah lai oh!"
Underlings: (｡•̀ㅂ•́) "Ah lai oh lai oh lai oh~"
The atmosphere was incredibly lively. The dice were about to stop!
Kaige exclaimed excitedly, "Let'S GO!"
"Boom!"
With an explosive roar, the card table instantly shattered. A massive black shadow radiating dazzling light burst out from underground!
It wasn’t just the card table. The entire casino building was blown to pieces, as if struck by a drilling cannonball!
The tremendous shockwave sent Kaige and his crew flying!
Everyone was completely bewildered. They had been gambling peacefully—what the hell had just blasted up from underground?
Something this big? Had they really summoned it by shouting?
Kaige was furious: "What the hell is this thing?"
They all looked up at the sky. The black shadow that had shot out from underground soared straight up thousands of meters into the air!
The light radiating from its head was like a rising little sun!
It was none other than the big centipede that had come to earn snacks!
In an instant, alarms blared throughout Nova Fortress. Countless Explorers rushed out, staring at the sky!
"What the hell is that? A Spirit-Binding Beast?"
"Oh, screw you! Spirit-Binding Beasts live in the mining areas. We’ve never seen one near Nova Fortress!"
"It is a Spirit-Binding Beast. I can feel the Spirit-Binding Field. Damn! And it’s Diamond-rank? Hiss~"
Kaige was stunned. How could a Diamond-rank Spirit-Binding Beast possibly attack the fortress?
Had it lost its mind?
"Concentrate fire! Kill this beast! Don’t let it wreck the city!"
At this moment, the big centipede, with its thousand legs churning wildly, was beyond excited. There were only two words in its mind:
Run laps, snacks!
After landing, the centipede crashed through another building. Thousands of Explorers charged at it, ready to gang up on the Spirit-Binding Beast!
But as they approached within a thousand meters of its body, they were suppressed by the Spirit-Binding Field it emitted. Their abilities and spiritual energy were sealed, and they looked disgusted.
Meanwhile, countless ice cones and fireballs flew toward it from afar!
But before they could hit, the centipede had already bolted!
From zero to four times the speed of sound, this thing took only three seconds!
It plowed straight into the crowd, crushing fifty or sixty Explorers in its path!
The sonic boom it generated sent people flying!
In the blink of an eye, it had already shot out who knows how far through the fortress, punching huge holes through a dozen buildings along the way!
Then the shockwaves mercilessly collapsed those buildings!
It arrived directly at the parking lot, smashing over a dozen large mining trucks, blowing up the gas station, and triggering a massive explosion!
The blast wave tossed debris everywhere. Black smoke billowed. A gigantic firelight engulfed the entire Nova Fortress!
Kaige was frantic. His eyepatch had been blown up onto his forehead. He tore it off and threw it on the ground, completely enraged!
"What the hell are you all standing around for? Get me the Spirit-Binding Machine Cannons, howitzers, and all that crap!"
"Where are the people? Where did everyone go? Surround it and beat it to death! Tear it limb from limb!"
Nova Fortress was indeed no pushover. It reacted immediately!
Two to three thousand Explorers surged forward, their spiritual energy exploding as they charged at the centipede!
On the city walls, rows of machine cannons spat tongues of flame, unleashing a torrent of fire at the centipede!
But at four times the speed of sound, the cannons could hardly aim properly!
Even when a burst of bullets hit it, they were blocked by the centipede’s black armor.
Behind the centipede, a group of Explorers chased after it, but they were so exhausted they nearly threw up, and still couldn’t catch up!
Some tried to block it from the front, but even a Platinum-rank tank was crushed to death…
"No good! It’s too fast. We can’t catch up!"
"Four times the speed of sound? This is really a Spirit-Binding Beast? I didn’t even see what it looks like!"
"This isn’t a Spirit-Binding Beast! This is a goddamn cruise missile Spirit-Binding Beast!"
"I don’t believe it can—Boom!"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was smashed to pieces!
Kaige's eyes were full of shock. What Spirit-Binding Beast could possibly move this fast? Did it have a thousand wheels under its feet?
"I don’t care! Even if you have to throw your lives at it, you absolutely cannot let it destroy the steel mill!"
"You have no idea how many resources we spent on that steel mill—"
"Boom!"
Before he could finish, the centipede rammed straight into the steel mill!
A huge furnace toppled over, followed by a violent explosion!
The steel mill was engulfed in flames and blown to pieces. Molten Spirit-Binding iron flew through the air, scattering everywhere like a scene of the apocalypse.
Kaige was furious: (ꐦ⊗益ʘ̆)
"Your grandma’s leg!"
Big Centipede: ???
Which leg of my grandma are you talking about?
My grandma has a lot of legs!
In all his years stationed at the third layer, Kaige had never encountered anything like this!
Where did this Spirit-Binding Beast, moving like a supersonic cannonball, come from?
Was this Jiangnan’s doing? No way. They had just fallen into the Kola Cave not long ago!
Without three to five days, they wouldn’t even make it out—and half of them would die!
Seeing the centipede approach the city wall, Kaige breathed a sigh of relief.
Let it just rush out like this. It was already a loss. No point wasting more lives trying to kill it.
"Don’t bother with it! Let it out! If we can’t beat it, we’ll just avoid it!"
But then, the centipede reached the city wall and… it turned. It turned!
It started running in circles from the outside inward, like a mosquito coil!
Wherever it passed, it was like a hurricane had swept through, smashing everything to bits!
Kaige stared blankly at this scene, then roared toward the sky!
(ꐦ⊗皿ʘ̆): "You beast! You came here on purpose to cause chaos, didn’t you?"
"I will chop you in half!"
Kaige’s muscles bulged as he charged toward the centipede like a cannonball!
…
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a building!
Over twenty Teletubbies in stealth mode teleported there!
Everyone was shocked. They had Teleported from three thousand meters underground all the way up here?
That fast?
But when they looked at Nova Fortress, they nearly had a heart attack from shock!
Holy crap! Was this really that steel fortress?
Countless buildings had collapsed. Fires were everywhere. Roars of rage were endless. Total chaos!
Even the steel mill had exploded!
Jiangnan: (๐•̌口•̑) Huh?
"No way? This is Nova Fortress? Can it be any more garbage? So disappointing!"
"My plan has only just begun! What’s with this so-called steel fortress? Pfft, lame!"
Everyone looked at Jiangnan in horror!
This… this was only the beginning?
What kind of devilish plan are you cooking up in that head of yours?
Yuri and Heidi swallowed their saliva as they looked at Jiangnan. From now on, they would never, ever let Jiangnan come to their countries!
Absolutely not!
Jiangnan hadn’t even made a move yet, and just sending out one big centipede had already wreaked this much havoc on Nova Fortress?
Hiss~
Ling Feng grinned: "Might as well kill a few while it’s chaotic. It’s not like we’re wasting bullets!"
With that, he pulled out a Desert Eagle from his pocket, loaded with mithril bullets.
Jiangnan was startled, then said, "Bro Feng, you’re Diamond-rank now. Why are you still using thermal weapons?"
"Even Spirit-Binding weapons aren’t that impressive, right? Diamonds can basically stop bullets."
Ling Feng smirked: "My whole skill set is in the gun. My international code name is Weapon Master."
He raised the gun and aimed it at Jiangnan’s crown!
(๐˃᷄ᴗ･᷅)つ/̵͇̿̿/’̿’̿̿̿̿̿̿̿̿(乛▾乛٥)
Jiangnan said, "I’m telling you, don’t just randomly point a gun at me. Someone else might get hurt."
Ling Feng laughed: "Guess how many heads this bullet of mine will take?"
Jiangnan’s expression turned serious: "I bet there’s no bullet in your gun."
Ling Feng: (≖_≖)…
"Bang!"
He actually fired! The bullet flew straight toward the center of Jiangnan’s brow!
Everyone was startled. But Jiangnan wasn’t panicked at all. He simply opened a Spatial Wormhole on his forehead!
But then, something shocking happened. The bullet’s trajectory changed!
It drew a perfect arc in the air, actually curving around Jiangnan’s head!
Its speed increased even more, heading straight for the crowd below!
Jiangnan’s eyes lit up. He was so excited he could barely contain himself!
(๑•̀ꇴ•́) : "Holy cow! Is this the legendary Gun Flick Technique?"
Ling Feng smiled: "Something like that. The principle is—"
Jiangnan interrupted excitedly: "I know! At the moment of firing, you flick your wrist extremely fast, giving the bullet a horizontal acceleration!"
"This makes the trajectory curve, allowing it to bypass obstacles and hit the enemy!"
"In the martial world, it’s called Gun Flick Technique, or Curved Bullet Technique! Am I right?"
The smile on Ling Feng’s face froze instantly!
Wang Ba: (๑ŏ3ŏ) Pfft—hahaha!
"Afraid not, Curved Bullet Technique! Bro Feng, I know you can flick a gun. I can too! But I really didn’t know you could curve bullets!"
"How about showing us?"
Ling Feng: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄
[From Ling Feng, Resent Points +1000!]
Can’t I show off for once?
Down below, a Gold-rank underling’s temple was pierced by the bullet!
His body slumped limply to the ground, lifeless!
And that bullet’s speed didn’t decrease at all. In fact, it only got faster, to the point where it was barely visible to the naked eye!
It drew gorgeous arcs through the air, passing through head after head!
Ling Feng said flatly: "It’s not Curved Bullet Technique. My ability is Kinetic Control!"
"I can freely manipulate the kinetic energy in objects—increase, decrease, or change direction!"
"A bit of a niche power, but if used well, it’s not weak."
Wang Ba chuckled: "This guy has a built-in aimbot. Strong! Someday, you’ll witness the power of the veterans!"
Jiangnan’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Ling Feng like he’d found a priceless treasure!
"It’s not just strong—it’s absolutely broken! I have an immature idea…"
Ling Feng covered his face. Why does every good thing sound so unpleasant when it comes out of your mouth?
[From Ling Feng, Resent Points +666!]
