Chapter 213: Armor-Piercing Bullet

"Almost there. One more passage and we'll reach the core area. The seniors are currently breaking the seal. As long as I reach that place, I can coordinate from the inside and outside, finish off Zhang Sanfeng, and rescue the seniors who have been sealed for eighty years."

Abe Seimei fought with increasing vigor; he had joined this mission specifically to rescue the sealed seniors.

During the war when the Japanese invaders invaded China, after more than a decade of bloody fighting, not only did the China immortal cultivation world suffer heavy casualties, but even the Dongying Ninja and Onmyoji fell in large numbers.

Some high-level Onmyoji were beaten until only their Yin Soul bodies remained, leaving them no choice but to switch to the Ghost Path, become shikigami, and hide within the Yasukuni Shrine to absorb the Living Beings Faith Power, surviving until now.

Abe Seimei himself was only a Third-Rank High-Grade Onmyoji; in the eyes of ordinary people, he was naturally an expert, but in front of an Immortal Cultivator like Zhang Sanfeng who possessed a thousand years of cultivation, he was not worth looking at.

To successfully complete the mission, he specifically invited a powerful shikigami who had participated in that war out of the Yasukuni Shrine, and the two merged to complete the rescue mission together.

"One-Blade Slash!" Abe Seimei shouted loudly, swinging the White Bone Blade in his hand horizontally. A three-foot-long black light blade was released from the edge, and the eight Berserk Rat blocking the way were cut in two directly. Then, Abe Seimei took the opportunity to charge forward, rushing into the next passage.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!" With a peculiar buzzing sound, more than twenty Blood-Sucking Mosquito the size of walnuts, mixed in with the army of exotic beasts, rushed toward Abe Seimei.

These mutated Blood-Sucking Mosquito were all cultivated by Meng Yifan using Carlisle's blood essence.

They were a full circle larger than ordinary Blood-Sucking Mosquito, and the mouthparts in their mouths were three inches long, flashing with a cold light like steel, and their attack power was extremely fierce.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!" Under Meng Yifan's control, these mutated mosquitoes all sprayed out their three-inch-long mouthparts. Each mouthpart was like a tiny Flying Sword, rushing toward Abe Seimei's eyes, throat, and other vital parts like his balls.

Abe Seimei was now comparable to a Fourth Grade Martial Artist, and his skin tissue was extremely tough; even the mouthparts of the mutated mosquitoes found it very difficult to pierce his skin.

However, vital parts like the eyes, throat, and balls had significantly worse defensive power. As long as they were pierced by the mouthparts, combined with the toxins of the Blood-Sucking Mosquito, that would be enough to give Abe Seimei a hard time.

"Get lost!" Abe Seimei roared, using his left hand to block in front of his eyes, stopping the eight or nine mouthparts stabbing toward his eyes. Then, a black protective shield suddenly covered his body, and the other mouthparts stabbing toward his vital parts were directly bent by the protective shield.

Just as Abe Seimei was fending off the mutated Blood-Sucking Mosquito, the Armata Tank, which had been prepared long ago, let out a huge roar, and a 125mm depleted uranium Armor-Piercing Bullet shot out, striking directly at Abe Seimei fifty meters away.

"Baka yaro! How could there be a cannonball?" Abe Seimei was shocked. He could not understand how an Armata Tank had suddenly appeared in the narrow Ancient Tomb, and why it had fucking fired a shot at him?

Wasn't the use of metal weapons forbidden in the Ancient Tomb? How could even a tank be used here? What kind of situation was this?

The shell arrived. Abe Seimei had no time to think. He wanted to dodge, but the speed of the Armor-Piercing Bullet was too fast. Its initial velocity was a full 1650 meters per second. One must know that the speed of sound is only 340 meters per second, which means the initial velocity of the Armor-Piercing Bullet was 4.8 times the speed of sound.

This was a terrifying speed. It only took 0.03 seconds to fly across a distance of 50 meters. This was a speed comparable to a thunderclap that leaves no time to cover one's ears. Even if Abe Seimei was a Fourth Grade Martial Artist, he could not dodge the high-speed incoming Armor-Piercing Bullet in such a short time.

Meng Yifan used an Array to cover the tank with black fog, making it impossible for Abe Seimei to discover the tank immediately, and then used the mutated Blood-Sucking Mosquito to launch a sneak attack, interfering with Abe Seimei's perception. Only then could he suddenly fire from fifty meters away, dealing a fatal blow to Abe Seimei.

At the critical moment, black energy surged from Abe Seimei's body and was transmitted into the White Bone Blade, and then a black light blade more than two meters long was instantly released from the White Bone Blade.

"Break for me!" Abe Seimei roared, gripping the White Bone Blade tightly with both hands. Instead of retreating, he advanced, leaping high into the air and using a Force Cleaving Mount Hua technique, slashing fiercely at the incoming Armor-Piercing Bullet.

"Boom!" With an earth-shattering loud noise, the Armor-Piercing Bullet and the black light blade collided, causing a violent explosion. Inside the passage, flames soared to the heavens, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, gravel flew everywhere, smoke and dust filled the air, and it was a complete mess.

"Is Abe Seimei dead?" Jiang Hailong asked.

Meng Yifan checked the Array Disk, shook his head with an ugly expression, and said, "Not dead yet."

"That's impossible, right? A 125mm depleted uranium Armor-Piercing Bullet can penetrate 1-meter-thick armor plating. This still can't blow Abe Seimei to death? That's too monstrous, isn't it?"

Jiang Hailong did not believe that Abe Seimei was still alive, but after the explosion of the Armor-Piercing Bullet ended, he saw with disbelief that Abe Seimei was indeed not dead, still maintaining the posture of holding the White Bone Blade with both hands.

The shockwave from the Armor-Piercing Bullet's explosion pushed Abe Seimei back two meters, and his feet left a one-foot-deep trench in the Blue Stone floor.

"Crack!" The White Bone Blade let out a crisp sound, then dense cracks appeared, and it shattered into dozens of pieces all at once.

This White Bone Blade was an Upper-Grade Dharma Artifact. It had followed Abe Seimei through many battles and killed many powerful enemies; it was his handiest weapon. He never expected that it would be completely destroyed here by hard-carrying an Armor-Piercing Bullet.

"Pfft!" Abe Seimei spat out a mouthful of blood. He was in a very sorry state now, although the White Bone Blade had blocked the direct explosion of the Armor-Piercing Bullet.

However, the Armor-Piercing Bullet released scorching high temperatures after the explosion and also scattered dense shrapnel, which directly tore through Abe Seimei's protective shield and then cut into his body.

At this very moment, Abe Seimei's clothes were tattered, his body was riddled with holes, his hair, eyebrows, and beard had all been burned to charcoal by the flames, and his entire face was pitch black, as if he had just crawled out of a coal pile.

Most importantly, the shockwave from the explosion just now had shaken Abe Seimei's internal organs, and now he felt like vomiting blood with every breath.

"Strike while he's down." Meng Yifan shouted, "Hailong, start the tank and crush that turtle son."

Jiang Hailong obeyed the order. Soon, the Armata Tank engine started, emitting a monster-like roar, and charged toward Abe Seimei. At the same time, Meng Yifan operated the Cannon, made a slight adjustment, and aimed at Abe Seimei again.

Abe Seimei endured the pain, his eyes fixed tightly on the direction of the tank's barrel. Then, his legs exerted force, and his body leaped up like a grasshopper, then kicked off the cave wall to constantly change direction, his body even leaving afterimages in the air.

Meng Yifan possessed Level 2 Shooting Technique, but unfortunately, the tank's smoothbore gun was different from the firearms held in one's hand; changing direction was not very flexible. Added to that, Abe Seimei was constantly changing direction at supersonic speeds, which made it impossible for Meng Yifan to lock onto Abe Seimei's position at all.

"Boom!" Meng Yifan calculated the lead and fired another shot, but unfortunately, the shell flew out and brushed past Abe Seimei, failing to cause him any damage at all.

While dodging the shell, Abe Seimei was also rapidly approaching the tank.

Jiang Hailong wanted to drive the tank to hit Abe Seimei, but Abe Seimei was bouncing on the ceiling of the cave the entire time and never touched the ground.

The tank could not crush Abe Seimei, and the shells could not hit him. If Meng Yifan and Jiang Hailong stayed inside the tank, they were just waiting to die.

Meng Yifan opened the vehicle door, jumped out of the vehicle, then threw Jiang Hailong to the rear and said, "Hailong, I'll block him. You go to the back and use the rocket launcher. Look for an opportunity and give him a shot."

"You want to fight in close quarters? I'll accompany you to the end." Meng Yifan did not retreat, because past this passage was the core area where Zhang Sanfeng was suppressing, and no matter what, he absolutely could not let Abe Seimei rush past.

Although Abe Seimei was seriously injured, he was still comparable to a Fourth Grade Lower-Level Martial Artist, and his combat power could not be underestimated.

If Meng Yifan wanted to defeat him head-on, he had to go all out.

The Ghost Head Blade had not been transported over, and Meng Yifan did not have a handy weapon, but he had long since thought about what weapon to use.

Jiang Hailong stood at the rear, dumbfounded. He saw Meng Yifan standing in front of the Armata Tank, gripping the barrel with both hands, and then with a loud shout, he lifted the entire tank up.

"How is this possible?" Jiang Hailong muttered.

One must know that the Armata Tank was a heavy tank with a total weight of 65 tons. Meng Yifan had actually lifted such a big guy; this was simply too incredible.

Meng Yifan had consumed some Experience Value and had already added his Strength attribute points to 300, which was thirty times that of an ordinary person. He could lift 3 tons of things, so logically speaking, it was far from enough to lift an Armata Tank.

However, Meng Yifan controlled the Ancient Tomb Array Disk and could mobilize the Ancient Tomb Array for his own use. There was an omnipresent strong magnetic field inside the Ancient Tomb, and other people's metal items could not be used.

A magnetic field has positive and negative poles, which can produce attraction and naturally can also produce repulsion. Meng Yifan was currently manipulating the Ancient Tomb's magnetic field to act on the Armata Tank, making it similar to magnetic levitation, so Meng Yifan did not need to expend too much strength to swing the tank.

Meng Yifan swung the tank as if he were swinging a large hammer, smashing it fiercely toward Abe Seimei. Not only that, he also reasonably changed the direction of the magnetic field, making the power of this strike increase greatly.
