If he’d just come out, this kid wouldn’t have escaped. A cultivation base of Qi Refining Eighth Layer hiding in his nest while we risk our lives—doesn’t he feel ashamed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group erupted into open insults over the group comms, naming names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHHH SHHH SHHH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another volley of dozens of armor-piercing rounds fell, and under concentrated fire, one tank was destroyed. The survivors grew more desperate, venting their rage by endlessly spraying the surrounding forest, their firepower weakening with each pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After three more artillery barrages, silence fell, leaving only smoke-filled air and deep craters littering the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding gripped his broken arm, feeling weary, and hid behind a large rock that partially blocked the sky, sitting cross-legged to circulate his internal energy and prevent his injuries from worsening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hours later, the main force that had cleared Seventh Company’s heavy machine gun positions arrived, halting seventy kilometers away from the enemy base and sending a team to extract Jiang Ding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your combat score this time will definitely be very high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Bing praised him, placing a hand on his shoulder as a faint green glow shimmered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than ten minutes, the healing ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding flexed his arm—it was intact, but his skin was pale, and the bone junctions were fragile; the combined damage from two injuries had left cracks spreading across the entire limb, as if it were a shattered porcelain vase crudely glued back together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his eyes and turned his awareness inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit—so many tiny meridians have snapped outright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding cursed his luck—if he endured a few more real battles like this, he’d be permanently stuck at the Warrior’s Primordial Immobility stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think I’m a Golden Core cultivator?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Bing rolled her eyes—the Meridian Awakening Scripture had far too many tiny meridians; she couldn’t even see them clearly, let alone repair or reconnect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then her expression turned serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The next battle requires establishing a camp forty kilometers from Seventh Company’s base, deploying a Level-One Electromagnetic Sensory Wave Array to completely overwhelm Seventh Company cultivators in terms of scanning range and precision for our infantry’s Spirit Particle Radar.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To do this, we must clear a thirty-kilometer radius of forest around the array site—otherwise, we’ll be caught mid-deployment and hit by ten… wait, maybe only eight or nine tank cannons all at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Level-One infantry Spirit Particle Radar on the tanks has a thirty-kilometer scan range; as long as Seventh Company students stay beyond that distance, they cannot gather intelligence via radar and must rely on visible drones or desperate underground-dwelling Qi Refining students who’ve pre-dug hiding holes to relay information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your job is this: lead the remaining forty-three Dao Soldiers to accomplish it. If you need fire support, just say the word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding rubbed his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the forests,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty-three Liuyun Sect cultivators spaced fifty meters apart, forming a line over fifteen hundred meters long, meticulously scanning every hole and suspected breathing vent with their spiritual sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever a target was found, flying swords darted in, flashing a few times to effortlessly slay Seventh Company warriors—often before they could even pull the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators’ invisibility techniques were beyond their ability to detect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasional screams rang out, then fell silent, the bloodied flying swords returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding kept his hand on his sword hilt, silently following the Liuyun Sect cultivators as they cleared Seventh Company students, refraining from striking himself, guarding against possible Seventh Company Dao Soldier ambushes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Soldiers couldn’t evade radar scans, but they could hide in pre-dug tunnels like Seventh Company students and suddenly erupt from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so far, no such incident had occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators moved swiftly; hours passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortal Envoy, all detectable enemies have been cleared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Tongyi and the others returned respectfully, no longer displaying their former disdain for mortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, elders, for your hard work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ding replied politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Li Junhao’s leadership and design, every Qi Refining student, except those still on alert, threw themselves into constructing the Level-One Electromagnetic Sensory Wave Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surveying the earth veins, mapping spiritual energy distribution, assessing terrain elevation, placing and connecting array devices… deploying any large array was extremely complex, often taking days or even months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Hua Bing, Li Junhao, and others who had received top-tier Immortal Sect high school training and excelled in their studies, things were different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many data points that would take an outsider array master hours to calculate individually, they could compute collectively in under an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Placing array devices was no simple matter of hammering them in—they had to perfectly align with earth veins, spiritual energy flows, and seamlessly connect with other array patterns. Each device required long calculation before placement, then magical energy to smooth out the array’s fluctuations afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Bing and the others, each assigned specific devices, calculated in unison, and inserted them simultaneously at the designated time—array deployment moved at lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, each of them was a child prodigy any outsider array master or alchemist would dream of having.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With multiple such talents working together, the efficiency of array deployment and pill refining could easily increase several-fold.\u003C\u002Fp>",1236,"2026-06-20T23:34:14.007Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","de4211f82d3670c19073c1d4efd4d8a93ce81dd2185395ce2903ee3b1b2202b7","cluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-chapter-96","cluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-chapter-94",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcluster-artillery-shattering-the-immortals-cover.jpg"]
