Chapter 367: Base 2
"It's too late to rush over; I have no choice but to use the Ghost Head Blade to destroy it." Meng Yifan focused his Spiritual Power onto the Ghost Head Blade, urging it to fly at high speed.
Meng Yifan's maximum movement speed can reach 1.5 times the speed of sound, while the flight speed of the Ghost Head Blade can reach over twice the speed of sound.
"Whoosh!" The Ghost Head Blade transformed into a streak of black lightning, and under Meng Yifan's command, it precisely struck the left side of the final Mushroom Bomb—that was the location of the self-destruct mechanism.
"Crack!" The moment before the self-destruct mechanism was about to detonate, it was slashed into fragments by the Ghost Head Blade.
The crisis was averted, and Meng Yifan could finally heave a sigh of relief.
In those ten seconds just now, Meng Yifan had erupted with extreme speed while also bearing the risk that the Mushroom Bomb could explode at any moment; the pressure was immense, and even though he was a Fifth Grade Middle Stage Cultivator, his back was soaked with sweat.
"Kill!" Meng Yifan let out a furious roar and began a frenzied slaughter; the two thousand-plus little devils inside the base were completely powerless to resist and could only end up as lambs to the slaughter.
Three minutes later, the massacre ended; the entire base was flowing with blood, with severed limbs and arms everywhere, resembling an Asura hell, and over two thousand little devils had been slaughtered to the last man.
"Baka yaro!" The Prime Minister of Dongying clearly saw this massacre through the surveillance cameras; it was he who had ordered the self-destruct sequence of the Mushroom Bomb inside the base to be activated.
If it meant eliminating Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng, the Prime Minister was willing to sacrifice the lives of these two thousand-plus officers and soldiers without hesitation.
But now, all four Mushroom Bombs had been taken away by Meng Yifan, and over two thousand officers and soldiers had been slaughtered to the last man, which made this Prime Minister gnash his teeth in anger.
"This is bad, Meng Yifan now has four Mushroom Bombs in his hands and has also seized control of the missile launch base. If he fires the Mushroom Bombs at our major military bases, it will cause terrifying destruction," the Dongying Major General said in a panic.
"Nani!" The Prime Minister also began to panic; Meng Yifan could withstand a Mushroom Bomb explosion, but the others in Dongying could not. If four Mushroom Bombs exploded on Dongying soil, it would cause at least several million casualties.
"Quick! Cancel the launch authorization within the missile base and remotely lock the missile launch program," the Prime Minister shouted loudly.
Inside the missile launch base, after Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng had eliminated all the little devils in the base, they began to skillfully operate the missile launch system, preparing to deal a devastating blow to Dongying.
Meng Yifan had obtained the memories of the base commander and was very familiar with how to launch missiles.
Not only that, but Meng Yifan also obtained the precise locations of all the major military bases in Dongying from the commander's memories, ensuring that every shot would hit its mark.
If Meng Yifan wanted to gain a large amount of Experience Value and rapidly increase his strength, he had to kill monsters to level up.
The Dongying military had fired a Mushroom Bomb at him first, so the two sides were already hostile forces; now that Meng Yifan was eliminating the Dongying military, he could also gain Experience Value, and the more he killed, the more abundant the Experience Value he would receive.
Since that was the case, Meng Yifan would naturally kill to his heart's content to avenge the martyrs who had died back then.
"Haha, little devils, your doomsday has arrived." Meng Yifan locked onto a military camp; according to the base commander's memories, there were over forty thousand soldiers there, and this one Mushroom Bomb would be enough to send them all to meet Amaterasu.
"Let's try a conventional missile first." Meng Yifan sat at the console and decisively pressed the launch button, but he discovered that the entire missile launch system had been remotely locked, and it was impossible to launch through the console.
"Damn it! You think you can stop me with this?" Meng Yifan stood up, loaded the Mushroom Bombs onto the R-37 Missile that Dayiwan had given him, and then brought Zhang Sanfeng outside the base.
"Master, let's go bomb the little devils' military camp." Meng Yifan's Space Ring still contained a MiG-31 Fighter Jet, which could launch Mushroom Bombs.
However, Dongying's anti-aircraft fire was still quite fierce, so Meng Yifan did not release the MiG Fighter; instead, he took Zhang Sanfeng and flew specifically over densely populated cities, heading all the way toward that large military base.
The Prime Minister of Dongying was sweating profusely, anxiously asking: "Quick, go ask Abe Taimei if Master Kamo no Tadayuki has finished his seclusion?"
The reason the Dongying Prime Minister was forcefully intercepting Meng Yifan and the other was to buy time for Kamo no Tadayuki.
According to the information sent back by Abe Taimei, Kamo no Tadayuki had signed a contract with a powerful Shikigami beneath the Yasukuni Shrine.
Now the two sides were merging, and Kamo no Tadayuki's strength was increasing at an astonishing speed; as long as he waited for the fusion to be completed, Kamo no Tadayuki's strength would be able to rival Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng, and he could even crush them both.
It was precisely because of this that the Dongying Prime Minister had used Mushroom Bombs to forcefully intercept Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng.
"Prime Minister, my master is at a critical moment of fusion; no matter what, please buy some more time," Abe Taimei said.
"Baka! Do you know that just a moment ago, over two thousand heroic imperial soldiers were already shattered like jade? Now Meng Yifan and the others are rushing toward another military base where there are over forty thousand officers and soldiers; they are completely powerless to resist a Fifth-grade Cultivator."
"Do you want to sacrifice the lives of over forty thousand imperial soldiers to buy time for you? Isn't this price too high?" the Dongying Prime Minister scolded.
Abe Taimei said: "Prime Minister, you should have already realized that only if my master successfully merges do we have a chance to defeat the strong enemy. If you force my master to end his seclusion now, then he is very likely not a match for Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng. If my master falls, what will we have to deal with Meng Yifan and the other?"
"Prime Minister, this is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity. Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng are the top combat power of Shenzhou. If my master successfully merges and eliminates them here, our Dongying can take advantage of the situation to rise and dominate the East. For the rise of Dongying, even if more people are sacrificed, it is worth it."
The Dongying Prime Minister fell silent; it had to be said that what Abe Taimei said still made some sense.
"Tell me the moment Master Kamo no Tadayuki completes the fusion," the Dongying Prime Minister said before hanging up the phone.
"Pass on my order: the entire army is to enter a state of emergency combat readiness and do everything possible to surround and kill these two damned invaders."
At the Prime Minister's command, the entire military and police of Dongying were mobilized; every soldier took up weapons and, in swarms, aimed and fired at Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng.
"Da! Da! Da!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Guns and artillery roared in unison, and countless bullets came pouring down like a torrential rain.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain; these bullets and shells were intercepted outside by the Domain Power before they could even get close to Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng.
Then, Meng Yifan waved his large hand, and the bullets and shells returned to where they came from, and swaths of little devils were blasted into fragments.
At the same time, on Meng Yifan's Game Panel, the sound of Experience Value being credited rang out incessantly.
