None of them could detect the hidden sword cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, the post-battle review is over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to tell students enjoying their peaceful campus life about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that this sword cultivator possessed exceptional mastery of concealment and invisibility spells, and wore high-quality concealment magic treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a certain stretch of empty space, a transparent ripple appeared, then blood blossomed, limbs shattered, and the shield magic treasure flew backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Jiang Ding, who held the anti-materiel sniper rifle, he was called to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding carefully observed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although school and television had repeatedly mentioned it, facing an actual battlefield drenched in blood, they still involuntarily felt fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After observing this round of drill, what is your understanding of the role of reconnaissance infantry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were extremely dispersed, each spaced at least a hundred meters apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no choice: whether low, mid, or high grade, the sect cultivators were vastly outnumbered; the enemy would never fight you on equal terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several more figures, crouching low beneath the ground among the trees, now revealed themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire at this coordinate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher, not necessarily—no need to scare us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very beginning, one sword cultivator had broken away far from the main force, encircling from another flank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially their sword cultivators and elite spellcasters, who were already powerful, combined with concealment magic treasures and advanced concealment spells, made them nearly invisible to first-grade infantry radar waves; once they closed in, it became a massacre.” She lightly tapped her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Bing remained calm, firing one high-explosive round at the coordinate, while six other heavy machine guns rained continuous fire, forming an impenetrable death net that drowned the earth-digging cultivators in soil mixed with blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Bing whispered: “Something akin to a life-linked magic treasure, forged by infusing blood. The ‘Sect Technology Report’ recently published an article: outside-world cultivators have recently attempted to popularize this blood-forged magic treasure among low- and mid-grade cultivators to extend their attack range.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Hua Bing’s squad returned, Zhang Dingjun projected a large screen before everyone—the third-party combat footage from just moments ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dingjun made no comment, offering no rebuttal to Hua Bing’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Bing’s tank’s first-grade infantry spirit-particle radar, combined with the Electromagnetic Induction Wave Technique, scanned him twice—both times he evaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Bing protested: “In actual combat, multiple squads operate together; then we have professional second-grade armored radar command vehicles and command officers trained at Beidou University and other national defense elite schools, specializing in the Electromagnetic Induction Wave Technique—these outside-world cultivators would be instantly annihilated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM! TATATATA! Shell casings flew; the tank’s main cannon fired methodically, the heavy machine guns kept up relentless fire, and each late-stage Qi Refining cultivator exposed by the barrage was torn apart by concentrated fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such opponents could only be detected by repeatedly focusing the radar beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The students answered in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dingjun smiled but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The data doesn’t add up, Teacher,” Wu Tianli suddenly pointed at the sword cultivator: “This distance is wrong. A Qi Refining Level Nine cultivator’s spiritual sense spans about ninety meters; even if this outside-world cultivator had some extraordinary fortune, a hundred meters would be the absolute limit—how could he launch an attack from over five hundred meters away without any loss of power?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dingjun waved his hand: “Wu Tianli takes command of the second squad; Zhou Lingjun takes command of the third squad. Drill continues. First squad rests one round, then rotate—this opportunity is rare; everyone must participate in this drill once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dingjun nodded slightly: “Information is the lifeblood of our sect cultivators—we must spare no cost, use every means to obtain enemy intelligence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dingjun asked succinctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, under the distraction of his comrades, the sword cultivator infiltrated within five hundred meters of Hua Bing; a pale-green sword, imbued with concealment spells, suddenly shot forth, slicing through the air with a piercing shriek, then exploded into lethal speed at the final moment, severing the target’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a blood-forged magic treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, Hua Bing’s face changed, panic flashing across it; she frantically formed hand seals as a shield rose, completely shielding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sect’s foundations were far weaker than those of the Nine Great Sects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men and women clutched heavy machine guns, draped in four or five belts of ammunition, following their temporary commanders onto the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHH! At that exact moment, a pale-green sword suddenly appeared, slicing through the air with a shrill cry, nimbly bypassing the thick magic treasure shield, then piercing through Hua Bing’s Level Seven spell shield like an eggshell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for a Qi Refining Level Nine cultivator shattering her shield—that was no surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was two levels higher in cultivation, and specialized in offensive spells, unlike the amateurish defensive and offensive techniques of sect cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Losing battlefield information is losing your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt a chill on her neck and could no longer pull the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her teacher had done the same in his day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dingjun sighed: “Outside-world cultivators have also been evolving; the once-idyllic image of Qi Refining cultivators charging in dense formations is gone forever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cultivator squad was a typical twelve-member unit, ranging from Qi Refining Level Nine down to Level Seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding carefully reflected on the battle scene just witnessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Counter-reconnaissance? Sniping high-concealment key targets, operating beyond the battlefield, protecting our own commanders, and eliminating them the instant their attack is exposed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, ideally with a Primordial Spirit-level cultivator; otherwise, firing one shot takes ten to dozens of minutes—useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1220,"2026-06-20T23:34:14.007Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1aaceb2639abd63afc1aa1446eb71fdb82458f5215bb53dbea35ac23957dc8ba","cluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-chapter-36","cluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-chapter-34",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-cover.jpg"]
