Chapter 369: Bombing the Base

"Prime Minister, we have already suffered over twenty thousand casualties among our officers and soldiers. These two people from Shenzhou are truly too formidable; conventional weapons simply cannot stop them. Should we continue to use Mushroom Bombs?" a Dongying Major General asked.

"They are currently in a bustling downtown area, with at least hundreds of thousands of civilians nearby. If we use a Mushroom Bomb, these hundreds of thousands of civilians will undoubtedly die," the Dongying Prime Minister hesitated.

He had also considered continuing to use Mushroom Bombs, but to use a Mushroom Bomb on his own soil and sacrifice hundreds of thousands of civilians—even if it truly could eliminate Meng Yifan and the other—would force him to commit ritual suicide to apologize to the world.

Bound by the fear of damaging the surroundings, Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng shuttled through the city, leaving the rulers of Dongying in a dilemma.

While the Dongying Prime Minister hesitated, Meng Yifan and Zhang Sanfeng had already approached that military base.

"The distance is about right; let's do it here." Meng Yifan casually blew up three more fighter jets, tore apart six tanks, and then waved his hand forward, causing a MiG Fighter to appear in mid-air.

Meng Yifan swayed his body and slipped into the cockpit, while Zhang Sanfeng stood atop the fighter jet, using the Yin-Yang Millstone to intercept the surrounding missiles and prevent them from destroying the MiG Fighter.

"Haha, you little devils, you wanted to use Mushroom Bombs to bomb me? It is only polite to return what one receives; I am returning one to you." Meng Yifan aimed at the military base and launched an R-37 Missile carrying a Mushroom Bomb.

"Baka! That is a Mushroom Bomb! Quickly launch the interception missiles!" The officers inside the military base reacted quickly, and soon, Standard-3 Block 2A interceptor missiles were launched into the sky.

This was an anti-missile interceptor capable of intercepting hypersonic missiles, with internal engines that allowed it to change direction when the target missile's flight path changed.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Three interceptor missiles flew toward the R-37 Missile, but Meng Yifan had long been prepared. He pointed his right hand forward, and the Invisibility Rune attached to the R-37 was activated. A ripple of invisible, intangible waves shimmered, and that R-37 Missile mysteriously vanished from the sky.

"Nani! How did it disappear? Could it be something similar to the invisibility techniques of our Ninjas?" The Dongying Prime Minister stood up abruptly, staring at the screen in terror.

The R-37 Missile, over four meters long, had suddenly vanished; neither infrared detection nor radar could locate the R-37.

The target was lost, leaving those three Standard-3 Block 2A interceptor missiles flying around like headless flies.

"This is bad! That Mushroom Bomb must be aimed at the military base, but now the radar monitoring system cannot detect the position of the R-37 at all. We simply cannot intercept it."

The Dongying officers inside the military base frantically adjusted the radar monitoring system to maximum power, desperate to discover the flight path of the R-37. By all logic, such a large missile flying at supersonic speeds should emit a massive sonic boom.

However, Meng Yifan's Invisibility Array was incredibly miraculous; it not only made the missile invisible but also eliminated the noise of the missile's flight, allowing the R-37 Missile to fly without a trace and in complete silence.

Seeing this scene, not only was the Dongying military panicked, but even Meili Country on the other side of the ocean was trembling with fear.

Meili Country had always regarded Shenzhou and the Great Bear as hypothetical enemies. If a military conflict were to truly occur in the future and the missiles from Shenzhou were to suddenly turn invisible, then even the most advanced Aegis Interception System would be unable to stop them.

On the Shenzhou side, Chu Yunlong saw this scene, his eyes lighting up, and he said to Yang Yijian, "Combining an Invisibility Array with a missile can actually make the missile invisible. This is truly excellent. I wonder if this technology can be used on a large scale."

Yang Yijian pondered for a moment and said, "The Invisibility Array is not difficult; a Third-Grade Immortal Cultivator can cast it. The problem is that we Immortal Cultivators use our own Spirit Power to drive the array, which generally can only cover our own bodies."

"But True Person Meng's Invisibility Array was attached to the missile. Even after the missile left Meng Yifan's side, it could still remain invisible. This requires an energy source to continuously release energy to maintain the Invisibility Array."

"I just looked carefully; Meng Yifan inscribed the Invisibility Array on the missile and used three Third-Grade Demon Cores as the energy source."

"To use this move in actual combat, one needs at least a large quantity of Demon Cores or Spirit Stones. However, Earth has long entered the End of Dharma Era, and cultivation resources are scarce; it is very difficult to find Spirit Stones and Demon Cores."

Chu Yunlong shook his head with some disappointment. It seemed this move could not be used on a large scale. However, Meng Yifan seemed to have many Demon Cores in his possession; the Shenzhou authorities could trade for some Demon Cores from him to inscribe Invisibility Arrays on missiles as tactical deterrent weapons.

"Cannot find it, still cannot find it! Where exactly is that R-37 Missile?" The commander of the military base was sweating profusely. At the R-37 Missile's flight speed, it would only take a dozen seconds to travel from the launch site to the military base.

Judging by the time, that missile was likely already within one kilometer of the base, yet even at such close range, the advanced radar detection system inside the military base still had not discovered the R-37 Missile's presence.

Suddenly, the air above the base appeared to ripple like the surface of water, and then that R-37 Missile eerily revealed its silhouette. Without giving the officers in the base any time to react, it exploded violently.

"Boom!" With an earth-shattering roar, a massive mushroom cloud rose within the military base. A terrifying shockwave swept in all directions, and this massive military base was instantly razed to the ground; three or four thousand Dongying officers and soldiers were almost completely wiped out.

"Baka yaro!" The Dongying Prime Minister slammed his hand on the table in anger. This was the third time in history that Dongying had been bombed by a Mushroom Bomb.

Ever since such weapons of mass destruction were invented, they had basically been used as strategic deterrents and rarely used in actual combat.

Previously, Dongying was the only place in the world to have been bombed twice, and now it had happened again. This was truly bullying.

"Master, let's go. The next target is the Yasukuni Shrine. After we wipe out that group of old ghosts, we will continue to sweep through the military bases of Dongying. This time, we will hurt them enough to make them never dare to bare their fangs at us again."

Meng Yifan put away the MiG Fighter and flew with Zhang Sanfeng toward the direction of the Yasukuni Shrine.

Dongying was a tiny country with a narrow land area and a dense population. The route Meng Yifan chose had a large number of cities, which made the rulers of Dongying gnash their teeth in hatred, yet they still dared not risk universal condemnation by using Mushroom Bombs on their own soil.

While moving, Meng Yifan's Spiritual Power enveloped the surroundings. Suddenly, he sensed something strange underground.

"Eh! Is this the Earth Escape Technique? Haha, interesting. It seems there is a Ninja underground. Looking at his energy fluctuations, he is roughly equivalent to a Third Grade High Stage powerhouse."
