Chapter 116: Monster! Monster!
Su Ping flew to the side of General Bahadur's lair and stopped.
Looking from afar, this was a large fortress built on a mountaintop, backed by steep cliffs as a natural barrier.
It served as the lair that General Bahadur had operated for many years.
This fortress was divided into inner and outer layers, both equipped with thick walls, machine-gun bunkers, and anti-aircraft batteries.
More than three thousand elites, whom General Bahadur relied upon as his personal guards, lived here, and their daily training was under the direct control of this general.
This was also his greatest reliance for remotely controlling subordinates in other places so they would not dare to rebel.
The outer city looked more like a prison than a military camp; apart from the drill grounds, canteens, and warehouses, it was composed of rows of square, three-story dormitory buildings.
Furthermore, various areas were separated by walls between the dormitory buildings.
The inner city was located at the highest point of the mountain peak; it lacked these partitions but had a building no smaller than a large city department store standing there, occupying most of the area.
Inside the building, all kinds of living facilities were fully equipped, and there were even swimming pools and a small cinema.
After all, this was also the place where General Bahadur and his confidants lived for long periods.
Naturally, it had to be built a bit better and larger.
At the top of the building, there was even a helipad; besides being used for transportation, a major purpose was to purchase entertainment consumer goods needed by high-ranking officers.
Su Ping released his Divine Sense, sweeping across this fortress.
He was not in a hurry to act, but waited until Spirit Mouse Xiaobai and Xiaohui had caught a group of local mice to act as Scouts and gathered enough intelligence.
Only then did Su Ping begin to formulate a battle plan in his mind.
Even though he had become a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
Su Ping was not foolish enough to just recklessly charge in like that.
After all, many novels, movies, and related propaganda that ordinary people come into contact with have been deliberately conveying vague information.
This leads many people to often underestimate the power of most modern weapons while simultaneously overestimating their upper limits.
Having come into contact with the weapons of this era, Su Ping knew very well that these weapons, which condensed the technological crystallization of an era, were absolutely strong in terms of destructive power.
The flaws they displayed were only because the users' five senses were too low, which became their shortcoming.
It was just like the difference between heaven and earth when playing a shooting game between a rookie, a veteran, and a world champion.
Not to mention that because of Su Ping's appearance, there was the level of the extraordinary above the world champion, which was another qualitative change.
Su Ping slowly hovered in the air and tore up several Spirit Talismans with a wave of his hand.
In an instant, a Wind Technique raged on the mountaintop, and dark clouds appeared above the peak, obscuring the sunlight.
"Is it going to rain?"
On the fortress wall, several bored soldiers were smoking and looking up curiously at the suddenly appearing dark clouds.
The sultry weather had already lasted for some time.
These soldiers who hadn't had a turn to go out and fool around were still hoping to cool off a bit.
In the small town at the foot of the mountain, where the families of these soldiers lived, they also thought it was going to rain, and many people chose to go home to avoid the rain.
Dozens of seconds after the dark clouds and Wind Technique appeared.
The officer in the bunker suddenly noticed a white-haired youth with a strange appearance appearing at the intersection ahead.
The officer immediately became vigilant; ever since they participated in those black industries, they had developed deep wariness toward every uncontrolled stranger.
They were terrified that the other party had interviewed evidence unfavorable to the development of their industries, causing them to have to cough up a portion of next year's dividends to grease palms.
"Send a vehicle to catch him, don't let him run!"
The officer guessed at the first moment that the other party might be some kind of investigator who had come to the vicinity of the fortress along the mountain road.
Regardless of the other party's background, it was never wrong to catch them first!
After the officer thought it through and confirmed that the other party had no weapons, he took the lead, sat in the passenger seat of a Humvee, and then rushed out from the outer city.
Then, before this Humvee could get close to the white-haired youth who was approaching slowly.
Ripples appeared in the air.
The next instant, a translucent golden hand at least ten meters long stretched out from the Void, and the big hand slapped the Humvee with a 'slap'.
With a 'Boom', the entire Humvee was smashed into hundreds or thousands of parts on the road, scattering on the ground.
Then, while the soldiers on the city wall stared in shock, completely unaware of what had happened.
The white-haired youth suddenly accelerated, turning into an afterimage as he charged toward the fortress gate.
The officer guarding the gate only then realized something and let out an exclamation:
"Close... close the gate!"
"Hurry, close the gate!"
As the voice fell, they watched as the gate began to close.
Just as the officer felt a sense of relief in his heart.
He suddenly felt the surrounding air turn cold.
Afterwards, he and the soldiers beside him instinctively looked up and saw an Ice Giant Sword appear above their heads.
And in the next instant, it fell with a 'Boom', smashing the surrounding ground so hard that it seemed to cause a slight tremor.
And that white-haired youth didn't go through the gate at all, but leaped directly onto the city wall; with a flick of his hands, he held dual guns and, with the help of his Divine Sense, cleared out the soldiers in the surrounding bunkers without missing a shot.
Woo-woo-woo!
The fortress sounded an alarm.
The soldiers on the drill ground reacted the fastest; those who were training quickly assembled and transported weapons like Rocket Launchers and mortars out of the warehouses, waiting for the officers to lead the teams to defensive positions.
They suddenly felt their whole bodies turn cold.
A feeling of being watched by a natural predator, causing their souls to instinctively tremble in fear, made them unable to help but turn their heads in unison to look toward the direction of the gate where the loud noise had just occurred.
And then they suddenly discovered that on the nearby city wall, a blurry, giant figure seemed to have stood up?
A Haishilou?
Or... some kind of holographic projection?
The General's personal guards, gathered together, gripped their weapons in fear.
Yet they were shocked to discover that the giant figure had extended nearly a hundred arms, and in each hand, it seemed to be holding some kind of light or heavy weapon?
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bullets poured down like a rainstorm onto the entire outer city of the fortress.
The officers and soldiers on the drill ground didn't even have time to raise their weapons to fight back before they were ground into fragments in the face of the storm-like sea of bullets.
In the dormitories and the cafeteria, the survivors who hadn't gone out and had dodged the first wave of attacks were also wiped out, with none spared, in the subsequent second and third waves of strafing!
And those anti-aircraft gun platforms were key targets, becoming riddled with holes.
Su Ping unleashed his full-body Dharma Form to conduct a ten-second volley!
With his Dharma Form state combined with his Divine Sense, Su Ping could instantly lock onto hundreds of targets and, within one second, lock onto new targets again to conduct another volley!
This made Su Ping's firepower not only fierce but also exceptionally accurate!
The lethality of such firepower was something that the seemingly fierce but actually just cover-providing firepower in movies could never compare to!
Before Foundation Establishment, ten seconds was already Su Ping's limit.
After Foundation Establishment, Su Ping felt he could do another ten seconds.
But there was no need!
Under the surprise attack, Su Ping had immediately taken out the several firepower points in the fortress that could pose a danger to him.
Next, it was time for the dull and boring hunt!
Oh right, it was also harvest time!
Su Ping took out a Spirit Talisman and, with a wave of his hand, released the Thunder Light Fox.
The next second, the Thunder Light Fox turned into a ball of purple lightning, charging into the inner city to begin destroying the defensive facilities there, while simultaneously preventing anyone from escaping.
Su Ping then walked into the warehouse, took out his Storage Bag, and began to recover the inventory of General Bahadur's army.
"Monster!"
In the warehouse, some hiding soldiers attempted to ambush Su Ping.
Unfortunately, under his Divine Sense, Su Ping only needed to make the smallest movement to dodge the bullets they fired.
And a light, cold snort was enough to make these soldiers within the range of his Divine Sense feel suppressed and collapse onto the ground in unison.
In Su Ping's eyes, not one of these soldiers was innocent.
These guys were all beneficiaries, and even direct participants, in General Bahadur's black industry.
Watching their expressions shift from anger and hatred to fear, and finally to begging for mercy.
Su Ping shook his head slightly and waved his hand to summon Spirit Mouse Xiaobai and Xiaohui to take their lives.
Afterward, he opened a gate and saw a large amount of military supplies piled up inside, filling more than half of the warehouse.
Su Ping released the Pot Heaven and brought out Xiaobai, Xiaohuang, and Da Hei to help move the inventory.
Since he had gone to the trouble of coming here, never mind whether it was useful for now.
Move it back into the Huzhong Dong first!
Meanwhile, in the inner city of the fortress.
Most of the officers and soldiers couldn't see the movement of the Thunder Light Fox at all.
They could only see a purple ball of light flash by, followed by explosions, and some subordinates even turned into "cooked people" in the physical sense, as if struck by lightning.
Added to the hundred-armed giant that had appeared in the outer city earlier.
Although the high-ranking officers kept shouting that it was just a high-tech projection!
The soldiers still lost their will to fight and rushed into the buildings to take shelter, ignoring all attempts to stop them.
Because of the walls, the soldiers in the inner city couldn't see the tragic state of the outer city.
The high-ranking officers in the monitoring room, however, saw it clearly, and because of this, they finally agreed to open the gates to receive the soldiers fleeing inside.
Afterward, these high-ranking officers moved together, rushing toward the office where General Bahadur was located.
It wasn't to protect their boss.
Even though they were all trusted confidants, at a time like this, no one had that kind of loyalty anymore.
They just wanted to know what on earth was happening.
Why could such a terrifying existence exist in this world!
And why would such a terrifying monster come to attack an armed organization like them that just wanted to make some dirty money!
General Bahadur was sitting in his office, drinking hot water and pretending to be calm.
Upon hearing that the outer city was under attack, the General had turned on the speakerphone.
Then he heard the roaring of the officers in the outer city and a series of screams.
By this time, General Bahadur had already realized things were bad and immediately contacted a helicopter to come and pick him up.
And after the inner city also fell into chaos, General Bahadur had already realized that the other side probably had no intention of negotiating with him at all.
They chose not to have a religious protection army, but to directly wipe out these ants that had provoked them.
"General, it's useless."
The mage was quite calm, and he could see the General staring at him, waiting to hear something, but having seen the existence of truth, the mage feared offending a Ghost God more than death, so he did not lie:
"Although I have a high status here with you, in that place, I am no different from other swindlers and half-baked mages."
"General... you have offended someone favored by a Ghost God, and now this is merely the punishment from the Ghost God arriving."
"A Ghost God's punishment?"
"Heh... hehe, I don't believe it!"
"How could I possibly lose everything for a reason like this, for a reason like this?"
General Bahadur stood up, like a furious lion.
Just as he wanted to grab the mage by the collar and roar, the office door opened, and a group of high-ranking officers rushed in.
A few sharp-eyed ones felt like they had grabbed a lifeline upon seeing the mage, hurriedly helping to pull General Bahadur away; while it appeared they were protecting the general, they were actually subtly surrounding the other party.
The scene reached a stalemate for a moment.
However, the communication equipment in the office untimely emitted the cries for help from the officers on the ground floor of the building.
"I saw it clearly, it's a monster, a ball of light emitting purple Heavenly Thunder!"
"Help, help me!"
"This monster isn't afraid of bullets at all! No, this is...!"
"Hiss, hiss, hiss... Crack!"
The communication suddenly went quiet.
The high-ranking officers and General Bahadur and the others all turned pale, knowing very well what the lack of sound meant.
General Bahadur's expression turned ruthless; he pulled out a special device and pressed it down fiercely.
Instantly, the entire building shook as if the earth were moving and mountains were swaying!
Several high-ranking officers turned pale but did not stop General Bahadur's actions.
As his confidants, they knew what this was.
When the building was constructed, bombs and incendiary agents had been installed in key locations throughout.
And for the sake of insurance, these facilities were maintained and replaced by professional teams every few years.
Such an explosion had been precisely calculated to ensure the main structure of the building remained intact and would not collapse, while simultaneously turning the lower floors into a sea of fire, thereby providing them on the top floor with time to escape.
Even the top floor actually had several similar facilities installed.
The purpose was not to prevent a scenario like the current one, but to target potential military strikes from other factions.
It was just that none of them had expected that they would be forced to this extent without even seeing the true appearance of the intruder.
All their trump cards were played, yet no one knew if it would be of any use.
They could only hope that it would at least hinder the opponent and delay them until the helicopter arrived.
This group of people took the mage and walked quickly to the rooftop.
It was also here that they looked down from a high vantage point and saw the outer city, scarred and filled with smoke and fire everywhere.
On a hot day, General Bahadur and his confidant officers shivered all over from the cold as they watched this scene.
The moment they thought about having offended the master of this power.
Regret and unease filled their entire bodies, difficult to dissipate.
Finally, the helicopter, which had been at a small town not far away, flew over.
They began to feel fortunate that when they made the purchase, they had considered transport needs and everyone had chosen a larger model.
The helicopter in front of them, which was quite large, was enough to take away General Bahadur and those confidants.
With escape in sight, even General Bahadur could not help but reveal a smile.
However!
A bolt of Heavenly Thunder suddenly appeared and smashed into the helicopter.
Instantly, the lightning-struck helicopter spun while engulfed in flames before the eyes of General Bahadur and the others, falling down and plunging into the depths of the cliff.
General Bahadur and the others opened their mouths wide, watching their lifeline being destroyed by a lightning strike that could not possibly be a coincidence.
Slap!
General Bahadur turned around abruptly and knelt on the ground on all fours, kowtowing to beg for mercy.
Seeing the general act this way, the other officers also scrambled to lie down and beg for mercy.
The mage knelt as well, but kept his head lowered, begging for forgiveness repeatedly.
Su Ping, having finished packing up the warehouse, arrived through the air and slowly flew to the rooftop.
On his shoulder, the Thunder Light Fox, tired from casting the Heavenly Thunder, was lying there, licking its lips and squinting its eyes as it stared at these fragile humans before it.
"Begging for mercy only now? It's too late."
Su Ping looked at the building below, which no longer had much value due to the self-destruction.
He took a deep breath and slowly raised his right fist toward the ground below.
White Qi condensed, and under the reinforcement of his Foundation Establishment strength, the Greedy Wolf phantom appeared in the air with a body ten meters in size.
Because Su Ping's physical body was invisible.
General Bahadur and the others, who were begging for mercy, noticed the anomaly in the sky and, after looking up slightly.
All of them screamed in terror.
For from their perspective.
In the gloomy, cloud-covered sky, a lifelike, giant wolf head condensed from white Qi had appeared!
"Monster! Monster!"
It was not just the general exclaiming in shock.
As Su Ping drank the Life Spirit Medicine, relying on the continuous recovery power to constantly strengthen himself, the head of the Greedy Wolf phantom grew larger and larger.
Even in the small town at the foot of the mountain, many people noticed the anomaly of the wolf head phantom on the mountaintop.
And out of biological instinct, they felt a fear from the depths of their souls because of it.
"Not enough, another bottle!"
"Continue, another bottle!"
It was a rare opportunity to recklessly condense the Greedy Wolf Fist Intent by relying on the continuous recovery effect.
At the same time, it was also because of the stimulation from the Blood Qi on the battlefield that he had a sudden realization.
Su Ping had been condensing the Blood Qi of ten bottles of Life Potion.
Only then did his figure move to appear on the rooftop, and with one punch of the Beidou Tanlang Fist, he shattered the entire rooftop instantly!
The entire building collapsed layer by layer, following closely behind, and slammed into the mountaintop with a thunderous roar of power.
Boom!
The power continued to vibrate, piercing deep into the ground.
The area where the Inner City District of the fortress was located was shockingly spreading wildly along with the aftershocks of this punch.
The earth began to crack, and a massive number of fissures appeared on the ground.
Finally, when Su Ping finished his work and returned to the high altitude with the mage who had been scared unconscious and was being carried by the Purple Light Fox, he looked down.
Su Ping saw that the Inner City District, especially the mountaintop area where the building had been, had actually been completely leveled by his punch!
And those ruins of the building, mixed with soil and boulders, were pressing down toward the small town at the foot of the mountain like a landslide and a tsunami!
