Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125
The Grimcoin rolled from the ground to Ling Meng’s feet and then toppled over with a clang. The scene was so quiet you could almost hear a needle dropping on the floor.
What does this mean? Is he treating Ling Meng like a circus performer? Is he using money to humiliate him? Is this something a carbon-based being could think up? Isn’t this somewhat excessive?
"Brother Zhang, don’t provoke him!" Qi Xiu looked at Zhang Menglong with some trepidation because he could already see that Ling Meng’s expression had begun to change, showing signs of an impending violent outburst.
Ling Meng’s breakthrough to Heaven Breaking Third Realm was something none of them had expected. Initially, they thought with these 12 Italian Cannon Plus, they could easily flatten this Lingyun Sect.
This kind of power couldn’t be resisted by even a Heaven Breaking Second Realm dancer!
But now it was different. Ling Meng in Heaven Breaking Third Realm could easily charge into their position under cannon fire. As long as their 12 Italian Cannon Plus were destroyed, there would be almost no suspense in the battle.
As for the sect’s buildings... the entire Lingyun Sect had already been covered by cannon fire, so what difference would it make to bombard them again? At this level of conflict, the Royal Family and Lingyun Sect can only let one survive!
"Are you the young man they’re talking about?" Despite being a Sect Master, he managed to suppress his anger despite such an insult. "What’s your name?"
"Zhang Menglong, Zhang as in ’arrogant’, remember to write it in your genealogy," Zhang Menglong said.
"What a sharp tongue," Ling Meng sneered. He knew he couldn’t win in a battle of words against Zhang Menglong, so there was no need to get upset about it.
"To get such things, your Royal Family certainly has some skill!" Ling Meng greedily eyed those Italian Cannon Plus, knowing that if he hadn’t successfully broken through, even the previous shooting might not have been so easily blocked.
If all 12 fired together, this dense barrage could kill even a Heaven Breaking Second Realm martial artist alive. If they could get hold of this batch of cannons, Lingyun Sect’s strength would greatly increase, making their battles to capture cities and strongholds invincible.
"Hand over these items and leave the manufacturing method behind, maybe I’ll leave you an intact corpse!" Ling Meng clearly intended to take the Italian Cannon Plus. If they could mass-produce a batch, their assurance of defeating the Royal Family would be even greater.
"Just give you the blueprint, can you even make it?" Zhang Menglong said disdainfully, "I’m not looking down on just you; I’m looking down on everyone present!"
"Since we can’t make it, then why don’t you stay and make these Italian Cannon Plus for Lingyun Sect!" Ling Meng’s eyes changed, ready to take action!
"Protect Brother Zhang! I refuse to believe this thing can’t deal with you; it’s just Heaven Breaking Third Realm, right?" Qi Ning had a defiant look, "Cannon squad, initiate rapid-fire mode, hit hard!"
"Sect Master, watch out, that thing’s firing speed is very fast, it’s what broke our Sect Protection Array!" Lingyun Sect’s disciples immediately reminded.
As soon as the words left their mouths, the 12 Italian Cannon Plus began crazily pouring firepower towards Ling Meng in a burst of purple light.
"These things are good, but to me, they’re nothing remarkable!" Ling Meng drew his long sword, and his surroundings filled with countless illusions, each shooting out strong Sword Qi.
Though the cannon was powerful, it was only an arbitrary attack from a Heaven Breaking Third Realm martial artist, while Ling Meng’s move was clearly a powerful martial arts technique!
The Sword Qi easily pierced through several cannonballs, acting like a precise intercept system blocking all attacks.
"Brother Zhang, this..." Seeing this, Ling Ning was at a loss. Even this 12 Italian Cannon rapid-fire barrage couldn’t break through Ling Meng’s Sword Qi defense!
"Why panic? If this could kill him, wouldn’t he be too weak to be in Heaven Breaking Third Realm?" Zhang Menglong was not surprised, even excited. The stronger the opponent, the more cred points he’d gain after defeating him.
Though Ling Meng blocked all attacks, he found it difficult to advance further under such intense cannon fire, both sides falling into a stalemate.
"I don’t believe your energy is inexhaustible!" Ling Meng sneered, knowing the cost of using such powerful things must be high, and even the Royal Family’s finances might not support it for long.
"Sect Master! The cannons use Martial Crystals; you can’t engage in a war of attrition with them!" a gate-guarding disciple warned.
"What? Martial Crystals?" Ling Meng was so shocked he almost dropped his weapon upon hearing this. Martial Crystals were thousands of times more precious than Xuan Crystals. Even Ling Meng hadn’t obtained a single Martial Crystal yet!
In this continent, the appearance of a single Martial Crystal could cause a frenzy among a group of Mystic-Breaking Realm martial artists. It’s priceless!
"12 cannons, 12 Martial Crystals!" Ling Meng’s eye twitched. To use such valuable items for this purpose—what a waste! If he had these 12 Martial Crystals...
No, since they can use Martial Crystals as energy for such weapons, they might have more Martial Crystals on them. He might even attempt a breakthrough to Mystic-Breaking Realm!
"No, I can’t continue; my stamina will be depleted! And those Martial Crystals will be wasted!"
Ling Meng activated the Mystic Qi within him, transforming his aura at this moment as if he were becoming an unsheathed sword.
This was the ultimate sword move of Lingyun Sect, the founder’s famous skill, where Mystic Qi gathered into a Sword Qi over a hundred meters long, seemed to split the heavens and earth in front.
"Everyone back off!" Qi Xiu shouted.
In his view, these cannons, though precious, were less important than the lives of his people. This was why his subordinates were loyal to him.
As the sword light flashed, the 12 cannons were sliced in half. Though incredibly strong, Xuan Tian Steel under Ling Meng’s stroke was no better than ordinary iron.
The Martial Crystals, having consumed half their energy, rolled to the ground, causing everyone’s breath to quicken.
"Long live our Sect Master!"
"The Royal Family will be annihilated!"
Seeing this, Lingyun Sect’s pent-up frustration of several days erupted into a forceful expression of power, demonstrating that no matter how strong the Royal Family or their weapons were, it meant nothing under such overwhelming force.
"Prince, what should we do now?" Qi Xiu’s warriors turned to him, their courage to come here stemming solely from having the Italian Cannon Plus for support! Googlᴇ search novᴇlfire.net
The damage to these cannons could be repaired by remelting, only costing some Xuan Tian Steel during the process; however, the situation was now highly disadvantageous.
"Why panic? It’s a small issue!" They hadn’t expected Qi Xiu’s trio to be so calm, considering their primary support was destroyed. Shouldn’t they be worried?
But they didn’t know what connections their Prince had; a mere Lingyun Sect wasn’t even qualified to make full use of his forces.
"Brother Zhang, now what should we do?" Qi Xiu asked calmly.
"How about... trying my latest invention, the Italian Cannon Max Deluxe Edition?"
