Chapter 297: Missile 2

The Tomahawk Missile launched by Abe Taimei did not carry a Mushroom Bomb.

Dongying does not possess such things, and even if they did, they would not dare to use them lightly.

The warhead of this Tomahawk Missile was loaded with an RDX-based mixed explosive; this is a type of mixed explosive with astonishing explosive power, with an explosive yield equivalent to 1.5 times that of TNT.

The Tomahawk Missile is a type of missile with extremely formidable lethality; a single one could blast the small hill where Meng Yifan is located into flat ground.

Tomahawk Missiles are expensive; Dongying purchased them from Meili Country at a price of 5 million USD per unit.

This type of missile employs multiple composite guidance systems—inertial guidance plus GPS and terrain contour matching—allowing for a hit accuracy of up to 10 meters, while improved models can reach an astonishing 1 meter.

The primary purpose of the Tomahawk Missile is to evade enemy radar detection and precisely destroy important targets such as enemy command centers, air defense positions, and nuclear facilities.

Using such a weapon of mass destruction against a single individual is likely a global first; from this, it can be seen that Kamo no Tadayuki attaches great importance to the person undergoing the tribulation. At the very least, in his heart, the value of the person undergoing the tribulation far exceeds 5 million USD.

Following the launch of the Tomahawk Missile, the missile interception systems of many countries around the world detected this Tomahawk Missile.

The satellites of several major military powers were mobilized one after another, keeping a constant watch on the flight trajectory of this Tomahawk Missile.

Especially Shenzhou; after all, this missile was launched from Dongying and was flying toward the southern part of the Shenzhou mainland. This could not help but make the Shenzhou military suspect whether this was another undeclared attack by Dongying.

A Lieutenant General with two stars on his shoulders stared at the video screen with a solemn expression and ordered: "Prepare the air defense missiles. As soon as this Tomahawk Missile flies over our airspace, intercept it."

The Tomahawk Missile had already approached the small hill where Meng Yifan was located, and at this very moment, the Yin Yang Dharma Sword of Zhang Sanfeng flew out.

The Yin Yang Dharma Sword was only a palm wide and three feet long; compared to that massive Tomahawk Missile, it looked as small as an Embroidered Needle.

However, the flight speed of Zhang Sanfeng's Yin Yang Dharma Sword easily broke the supersonic barrier, being a large margin faster than the Tomahawk Missile, arriving first despite starting later, and intercepted in front of the Tomahawk Missile.

"Fight to the death!" With a thought from Zhang Sanfeng, the Yin Yang Dharma Sword, carrying Yin-Yang Spiritual Power, aimed at the tip of the Tomahawk Missile and slammed into it violently.

"Boom—!" The Tomahawk Missile exploded in mid-air, erupting with a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar.

A circular shockwave diffused from the center of the explosion, causing the surrounding large trees to be snapped in two by the impact, and the soil on the ground was scraped away a foot deep.

The Lightning Rod that Meng Yifan had prepared had not yet been used when it was blown askew by this shockwave, which made Meng Yifan grit his teeth in hatred.

At the same time, Meng Yifan also felt extremely fortunate; fortunately, Zhang Sanfeng was there to protect him and blew up that Tomahawk Missile in mid-air. Otherwise, given the explosive power of the Tomahawk Missile, even if Meng Yifan were a Fourth-Grade Peak Immortal Cultivator, he would have been blown into fragments.

The Yin Yang Dharma Sword blew up the Tomahawk Missile, but it also bore the brunt of the impact, enduring the immense power of the missile's explosion, and was snapped directly into two pieces.

When Zhang Sanfeng was propelling the Yin Yang Dharma Sword to fly, his Spiritual Power was focused on the Yin Yang Dharma Sword. With the Yin Yang Dharma Sword being blown into two pieces, Zhang Sanfeng also suffered a violent backlash and could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Zhang Sanfeng's originally rosy face instantly turned as pale as paper, devoid of any color, and his body, which had been as steady as a rock, became tottering.

The demons beneath the Demon Cave seemed to sense that Zhang Sanfeng had suddenly become very weak. That Fifth-Grade demon led the numerous demons in a frantic assault on the seal, which made Zhang Sanfeng's situation even worse.

His injuries, which had originally recovered somewhat, suddenly became much worse than before. Zhang Sanfeng could only grit his teeth and drive the Ancient Tomb Array, desperately suppressing the rioting demons.

Seeing that Zhang Sanfeng's situation was very dire, Yang Yijian asked worriedly: "True Person Zhang, this junior will come to help you suppress the demons."

"You cannot; your strength is too weak. Coming down here is just throwing your life away, and I would still have to divide my attention to protect you," Zhang Sanfeng said bluntly.

Hearing Zhang Sanfeng's words, Yang Yijian felt very embarrassed. He was the number one expert in the Shenzhou Cultivation World, yet in front of Zhang Sanfeng, he was just a useless person who would only cause trouble.

"I must suppress the demons now and cannot get away. You go and protect Meng Yifan for me. If anyone else dares to come and cause trouble at this time, kill them without mercy!" Zhang Sanfeng said.

"I shall obey the True Person's decree." Yang Yijian accepted the order and left to stand guard by Meng Yifan's side.

The scene of Zhang Sanfeng using his Yin Yang Dharma Sword to blow up the Tomahawk Missile in mid-air was monitored by the satellites of major powers, and those who saw this scene were all dumbfounded.

"Oh my god, what kind of weapon was that just now? It was so small and so fast, yet it precisely intercepted the high-speed incoming Tomahawk Missile in an instant. Rewind the video, rewind a bit more—right here, zoom in, zoom in more!" a black Lieutenant General from Meili Country shouted loudly.

Soon, the video screen clearly displayed the appearance of the Yin Yang Dharma Sword, which made everyone in the operations center feel it was unbelievable.

How could such an ordinary-looking three-foot-long sword have such immense power that it could actually precisely blow up a Tomahawk Missile with a single strike?

If there were more such Flying Swords, wouldn't that mean the high-cost Tomahawk Missiles would be almost completely useless?

"Can someone tell me what the hell this long sword is? Is it a new type of interception missile from the East? Why is its design so unique?" The black Lieutenant General frowned, puzzled.

"General, this kind of long sword looks a bit like the Flying Sword used by Eastern Immortal Cultivators. It is said that with a single thought, the Flying Sword can fly tens of thousands of miles to behead an enemy," a Chinese-American soldier, 'Jieke Li', said with some excitement.

Jieke Li was a fan of novels; although he was born in Meili Country, he had loved reading Shenzhou web novels since he was a child.

When he was a child, he also longed to become a Sword Immortal, roaming the North Sea in the morning and the Cangwu Mountains in the evening, riding a sword through the air to subdue demons and eliminate evil.

Later, Jieke Li's father told him that everything in the novels was fake and that there were no such things as Sword Immortals in the world, which left Jieke Li disheartened and he stopped reading novels altogether.

Unexpectedly, at this very moment, Jieke Li had actually seen a Sword Immortal's Flying Sword blow up a Tomahawk Missile with a single strike.

This completely overturned Jieke Li's worldview and outlook on life. It turned out that the ancient land of Shenzhou really did have Sword Immortals; this was truly too magical.

The black Lieutenant General had never read Shenzhou novels and did not believe in these supernatural things. He roared angrily: "Sword Immortal? Bullshit Sword Immortal! We must believe in science. This long sword-shaped weapon must be a secret weapon of the East. Immediately dispatch our ace agents to the East to investigate. No matter what the cost, we must figure out the manufacturing method of this weapon."
